Everyone felt there's more to it why the Heavenly Void backed away. They were one of the strongest lineages in Nine Heavens, how could they be afraid of those two others? The void had produced three monarchs and three slayers at the same time. With this powerful lineage, not even Disaster Sea King would belittle them.
The void had been waiting for the will to appear, and a few in the know was aware of this fact. Yet, they were not participating? Who or what might be able to hold them back? Remember, there's only one will in this generation. Those who wouldn't be lucky enough to win had to wait for another generation for it to appear.
Many lineages, which were hiding, felt something was off. They were here to participate, also. However, they wouldn't show themselves unless it's necessary. After all, they were still no match against the sea king and buddhist temple. Not to mention, they might earn the ire of these two behemoths.
"Rumble!" Then, the ground shook. It's the sign of a new arrival. Everyone looked at the shining white light that have appeared from the tore space.
Many maidens in white dress appeared. They all looked like a fairy, a celestial existence to shame the beautiful things of the world. With their arrival, the bliss overcame the awkward silence of the world.
"Hidden Majestic Valley?!" Everyone was stupefied by this. As a matter of fact, even the two behemoth's changed expression.
Hidden Majestic Valley was one of the three mysterious lineages which was rumored to be governing the entire Nine Heavens. Even the behemoth lineages had to pay respect to them as the valley had the oldest records prior compared to the other two mysterious lineages.
They rarely appeared to the public. As a matter of fact, their last appearance was two million years ago. They never participated for the contest of the will. After all, with seven dao monarchs, why would they need to? Just the fact that they produced seven people who ascended to monarchy was already enough deterrence against everyone.
Furthermore, it was rumored that five dao monarchs, including the second monarch, were still alive and well! With them, there would be no dumb idiot to try challenging their authority lest he's crazy. Though it was only a rumor, no one was willing to test the water.
"A lineage only full of women..." An ancestor gulped. Even though he was already an expert, he still couldn't help but feel awe and respect for the valley.
That's true. The Hidden Majestic Valley only had women. No men could enter their territory. Not even the other mysterious lineages. Any man who push their luck would be killed without hesitation.
After that grand entrance, a young lady appeared from the group. She was so beautiful that everyone felt mesmerized. Her cold countenance as she walked down filled the surroundings with hymn. She was walking gracefully as her shining white hair fluttered with the wind.
Young Lord Bai was amazed by how beautiful this lady was. That woman in the cliff was no match against this lady's beauty!
"I am Suyao, the current princess of Hidden Majestic Valley. I'm pleased to meet you all." Lady Suyao said. Her voice was soft, yet cold at the same time, "I am tasked to take the will and ascend to monarchy. So please grant me this favor. The valley is willing to compensate you all, including those who are hiding."
She was showing respect, but she's not interested in any single of them. What mattered the most for her was to get the will and be done with it.
Everyone was taken aback. The valley wanted to expand their strength? They had been lying low for many generations but they decided to move right now? Was their resources depleted? Or were they declining? None of that seemed possible.
"This..." Young Buddha felt awkward but he still spoke, "Your Highness Suyao, we are also in need of a monarch. Your valley has already seven monarchs while ours were only third, four if I manage to get the will. Isn't it unfair in our part?"
"Young Buddha, that's why we are negotiating here. Our valley is willing to compensate for your losses here as long as it's within the reasonable means." Lady Suyao didn't change her tone, "We are already generous by compensating you all. If you are still to decline our good will, then we have no choice but to proceed to bloodbath then. I don't mind pitting myself against the geniuses of sea king and buddhist temple and the other hiding ones out there."
Many smiled wryly. Some knew that the valley was arrogant by all means, yet experiencing it firsthand gave them cold chills. Hidden Majestic Valley might have been laying low for too long, but it's because there was no interesting thing for them in this world. Only those other mysterious lineages might get them interested.
"Princess Suyao, you are saying malicious words. Our lineages might not be as powerful as yours, but we still have a foundation worthy of billions to hundred billions. We are holding the pride of being a behemoth lineage." Young Lord Bai spoke coldly despite being enchanted by the lady's beauty. Of course, he wouldn't let anyone speak malicious against them.
"Your courage is admirable, Young Lord Bai." Princess Suyao smiled gently, "Then let's fight. A free for all. The last man standing wins. How about it? Of course, feel free to be helped by your guardians."
This declaration caught them off guard. Such a bold move! A free for all? More like she's trying to challenge everyone present here. She was a beauty, that's true. But her ruthlessness might not knew any bounds. She was deserving to be the princess of the valley.
"You want to fight all of us?" Young Buddha showed extreme annoyance. The princess might be so beautiful but he wasn't the type to be seduced by it.
"Yes, why not?" Princess Suyao was beaming with smile. She would do everything to take the will, and no one would be able to stop her.
"A bit interesting.." Unfortunately, someone had arrived to foil her plans.
