“Alright, alright. Settle down.” The Xiaoyao Sect Master—Naomi Grand—quickly stood up to soothe the situation at that moment upon seeing how the mood in the hall was going awry. “We’re comrades of the martial arts world so let’s all speak less.”
Naomi smiled and scanned the surroundings upon saying that. With a clear and booming voice, she then said, “People, let’s get straight into it since everyone has arrived.”
The entire hall was silent when Naomi talked with everyone’s eyes on her.
“My fellow heroes. I’m sure all of you know this martial arts conference’s purpose.” Naomi scanned the surroundings and slowly said, “A year ago, the New World Army attacked us and although each of us resisted with our full force, we almost lost. Why is that? Is it because the people of the World Universe are weak? That’s most definitely not the reason.”
Her expressions turned serious as she said, “It’s because each sect did not work together so our objective today is to form an alliance and nominate an Alliance Master. All of us will then have to obey the Alliance Masters commands so we’ll be united if and when we face another attack.”
The fellow sect masters nodded in agreement upon hearing her words.
She was right. The martial arts community in the World Universe will be like a family once they have elected an Alliance Master. If the sects of the World Universe could unite and form an alliance, they would not need to be afraid of the New World anymore. That was good news.
Naomi smiled and continued, “The Alliance Master elected has to not only be powerful but also have to have integrity and talent at the same time. Everyone here can voice out if you have the perfect nominee in your heart.”
Gasp!
The entire crowd was in a heated discussion at her words.
“There’s no need for further discussions. It should be our Shaolin Sect Master Endless of course!”
“Our Wudang Sect Master is a respectable person of the martial arts world. He should definitely be the Alliance Master!”
Instantly, every disciple was yelling and nominating their own sect masters.
The Alliance Master position was of huge honor and they would naturally not want people from other sects to be elected.
“Everyone, please be quiet.” At that moment, one person stood up among the group of sect masters on stage and loudly said, “Whether it’s Wudang or Shaolin, nothing can be comparable to Elysium Gate Sect Master Darryl Darby in my eyes! Darryl is young and has integrity and talent. The Alliance Master position should unquestionably go to him!”
The person who said that was none other than the Iron Palms Sect Master, Douglas Jensen.
