Supreme Uprising Chapter 1242 - There Is Also A Disparity Between Yuan Monarchs

Chapter 1242: There Is Also A Disparity Between Yuan Monarchs

This word had been said in a placid tone yet it seemed to contain immeasurable might that made the hearts of those hearing it tremble!
Yuan Venerate Xuanjing was determined to follow Luo Yunyang so he stepped into the great hall at the same time with him.
However, he felt a sudden urge to prostrate on the ground and comply with the laws of heaven when the voice echoed around the hall.
While the urge was stopped by the remaining will of Yuan Venerate Xuanjing, he still could not take a step forward.
Just as he was at a loss and had no idea what to do next, Luo Yunyang stepped into the great hall. The suffocating atmosphere caused by the voice also disappeared cleanly.
Immediately, Yuan Venerate Xuanjing felt like a fish back in the water. While he felt relieved, his heart continued to thump hard.
Although he was a Yuan Venerate, a supreme being like the one in front of him could kill him easily.
It was possible for him to be obliterated with a mere thought.
The more Yuan Venerate Xuanjing reckoned his fate was in the hands of Luo Yunyang, the closer he strode toward him.
He was now aware that only this exalted person in front of him could bring him out alive.
The palace of Nantuo City was humongous, but the person sitting in the middle this time wasn’t Nantuo City Lord but a handsome man with an air of divinity around him.
The man was sitting loftily as if he overlooked everything like a godly being from the nine heavens.
Although Luo Yunyang stood outside the main hall, his aura was not inferior to that of the lofty man seated inside.
“Do you know what you are doing?” A sarcastic smile appeared at the corners of the man’s lips as he said, “Do you think you can ignore my orders just because you are a Yuan Monarch? Let me tell you something. There is also a disparity between Yuan Monarchs!”
The eyes of the man glimmered with malicious intent when he said the word ‘disparity’.
“Yes, there is a disparity between Yuan Monarchs. However, it’s a disparity between me and all other Yuan Monarchs,” Luo Yunyang casually said.
He spoke in an insipid manner, but at the same time, there was a domineering arrogance about his countenance.
The man didn’t respond. He merely sneered.
At that moment, the pint-sized Yuan Venerate standing next to the man said sarcastically, “How dare you speak like that in front of Yuan Monarch Xingyuan!”
Right after the Yuan Venerate finished his sentence, a slap struck his face. It wasn’t Luo Yunyang who did it, but the exalted Yuan Monarch Xingyuan.
Although Yuan Monarch Xingyuan’s slap wasn’t anything special, it still managed to split the face of the pint-sized Yuan Venerate like a porcelain vase.
Despite that, the Yuan Venerate dared not say anything impertinent.
“My Lord, what did I do to get punished?” He merely looked at Yuan Monarch Xingyuan in fear as he asked this.
“You were rude. Do you think people like you can meddle in other people’s affairs and interrupt a conversation between Yuan Monarchs like us at will?” The dignified man glared coldly at his subordinate and reprimanded him.
“My Lord, I was rude. Please forgive my impudence,” the Yuan Venerate said despite the injury on his face.
Yuan Monarch Xingyuan ignored the subordinate he had slapped and continued to look coldly at Luo Yunyang as he said, “I haven’t seen you before, Yuan Monarch. Why are you in Nantuo City?”
Yuan Monarch Xingyuan stared at Luo Yunyang with an expression of anticipation after asking this question.
Yuan Monarch Xingyuan was wearing dark green robes, and his dignified demeanor was overshadowed by the chaotic aura he exuded, as he had obviously just suffered a significant setback.
“I’m here for Nantuo City.” Luo Yunyang nodded at Yuan Monarch Xingyuan and said, “Nantuo City is part of our alliance. How can I sit idly around when it’s been attacked?”
“Are you sure you want to meddle in this?” Yuan Monarch Xingyuan smirked as though this was something that intrigued him.
Luo Yunyang could feel Yuan Monarch Xingyuan’s sarcasm. He had an extraordinary cultivation, but Luo Yunyang did not take him very seriously.
“Since I’ve come, I’ll take care of it.”
Yuan Venerate Xuanjing and the others came in during the conversation. When the Yuan Venerate in the blue robes saw Yuan Venerate Rihui and Yuan Venerate Yueyao, his eyes glimmered with excitement.
Both Yuan Venerate Rihui and Yueyao were his saviors.
“I am grateful that all of you could come.” The Nantuo City Lord greeted Yuan Venerate Rihui and Yuan Venerate Yueyao.
Yuan Venerate Rihui and Yuan Venerate Yueyao exchanged a glance and saw the same treacly sentiment in each other’s eyes.
They would never have come to help Nantuo City Lord if they had been in charge of the alliance. Although they were not cold-blooded, their capabilities did allow them to be heroes.
They also knew Yuan Monarch Xingyuan, who was an outstanding figure among Yuan Monarchs. Thus, they were merely fireflies that glowed significantly under a bright moon.
The difference between them and Yuan Monarch Xingyuan was too huge to fathom.
“Nantuo City Lord, Yuan Monarch Yunyang is the one who decided to come and rescue Nantuo City. He is now in charge of the alliance.”
Yuan Venerate Rihui seemed to find the phrase “in charge of the alliance” inappropriate after saying it. Hence, he quickly added, “I think calling him Alliance Leader would be more appropriate.”
Although being in charge of the alliance sounded no different than being an Alliance Leader, the disparity between the two titles was incredible.
The person in charge of the alliance was merely a figurehead without absolute authority over most of the members of the alliance.
However, an Alliance Leader was different. While an Alliance Leader did not have the ability to control the life and death of the alliance members, he had the arbitrary authority to make decisions.
Yuan Venerate Rihui and Yuan Venerate Yueyao had wanted to become the Alliance Leaders of the spread-out alliance, but the members had not been supportive so they could only leave the matter unsettled.
Now, Yuan Venerate Rihui and Yuan Venerate Yueyao felt that Luo Yunyang had the capabilities and qualifications to become an Alliance Leader.
The other powerhouses standing behind Yuan Venerate Rihui and Yuan Venerate Yueyao did not speak out against this. In any organization or alliance, the strongest powerhouse would receive the greatest respect and support.
What Luo Yunyang had done so far had undoubtedly made him the most suitable person to be the Alliance Leader.
This was Nantuo City Lord’s first time meeting Luo Yunyang. However, since Luo Yunyang, who was the Alliance Leader, had come to Nantu City to rescue him, he was full of gratitude.
Therefore, after hearing the introduction of Yuan Venerate Rihui, he greeted Luo Yunyang right away. “Greetings, Alliance Leader.”
Luo Yunyang, who was very satisfied with the introduction of Yuan Venerate Rihui, had come to rescue the Nantuo City Lord to establish himself.
When it came to an impending disaster, gathering and consolidating one’s forces was just as important as possessing a formidable fighting force.
This also signified that Luo Yunyang had been formally recognized by this group of subordinates.
“There’s no need for formalities. We will not stand by and watch what is happening today. City Lord, feel free to explain your grievances.”
The Nantuo City Lord had been waiting specifically for Luo Yunyang to say this. Just as he was about to speak, Yuan Monarch Xingyuan said impatiently, “Victors have been crowned kings since olden times!”
“Yuan Monarch Yunyang, I will give you a chance since you want to stand up for the Nantuo City Lord. I will not take down Nantuo City as long as you withstand three moves from me.”
Yuan Monarch Xingyuan’s words made the Yuan Venerate beside him look worried. He was afraid of Yuan Monarch Xingyuan but he still couldn’t stop himself from speaking up. “Yuan Monarch, this is the decision of Lord Yuan Sage. You…”
“Do you think I will lose?” Yuan Monarch Xingyuan scoffed.
The Yuan Venerate trembled in fear, as he felt threatened. There wouldn’t be any major consequences if Yuan Monarch Xingyuan killed him.
He was nothing compared to Yuan Monarch Xingyuan’s status.
“Of course, My Lord. You will not fail!” that Yuan Venerate said almost instantly with an ugly smile.
Yuan Monarch Xingyuan paid no further attention to him. Instead, he turned his eyes to Luo Yunyang and waited for his answer.
Luo Yunyang’s status as the Alliance Leader had merely been established. He would be dethroned immediately if he was crushed by Yuan Monarch Xingyuan.
“Yuan Monarch Xingyuan, I don’t think I can accept your challenge,” Luo Yunyang said faintly in front of the eager crowd. “I think we should change it. I will take the Nantuo City Lord away if you can withstand three moves from me.”
All the subordinates behind Yuan Monarch Xingyuan sneered when they heard Luo Yunyang reject the challenge. They thought it was normal.
As one of the 12 Yuan Sages’ core disciples and also a rare Yuan Monarch among the third generation of the Taixu Sect, Yuan Monarch Xingyuan possessed an exalted status ordinary folks could only strive for.
It could even be said that he ranked at least in the top 10 Yuan Monarchs.
The Yuan Monarchs he challenged rarely dared to meet him in battle.
However, all these people froze when they heard what Luo Yunyang said, as they found this really unbelievable.
Yuan Venerate Rihui and the rest were also gawking at Luo Yunyang in astonishment!
“How bold of you! Since you have such a lofty spirit, I shall fulfill your death wish!” The voice of Yuan Monarch Xingyuan made the void shudder!
