# Chapter 2478: Happy to Oblige
The three alliances were established, and among them, the Heavenly Punishment Alliance was the most unstable—Lin Feng was well aware of this.
Demon Saint Emperor Xi and Zi Zhu had already gained great fame in battles many years ago, with many followers across the Nine Heavens. Thus, the formation of the Zi Zhu Alliance and the Chaos Heaven Alliance were natural developments. Only the members of the Heavenly Punishment Alliance had been indecisive, but no one had expected Lin Feng to suddenly appear, intervene, and establish the Heavenly Punishment Alliance, shocking everyone with a single battle and seizing the leadership seat.
"Alliance Leader, the reason we gathered here today is actually for one matter. I believe the Alliance Leader is already aware of it," a Supreme Realm cultivator said, looking at Lin Feng.
"I know. The Flame Temple side has once again proposed a meeting. The time is three days from now, and the location is Wind City, not far from this Snow Heaven City. That city is also the lair of the Wind Temple," Lin Feng said indifferently. He had naturally gathered this information clearly—how could he not? This time, he had come fully prepared.
"How does the Alliance Leader plan to handle this?" the Supreme Realm cultivator asked. Immediately, many eyes turned to Lin Feng. Since Lin Feng had taken over the Heavenly Punishment Alliance and become its leader, this was the first issue he needed to face: how to deal with the meeting proposed by the Flame Temple.
"I just spoke about our attitude toward the Temple Alliance. Do you still remember?" Lin Feng asked the man.
"I do," the man nodded.
"Our attitude toward the temples is the same as their attitude toward us: either swallow them or destroy them. The temples have stood in the Nine Heavens for countless years. Right now, they are even eliminating other temples, and they certainly won't allow new forces that threaten them to emerge. Therefore, there is no need for any courtesy toward the temples. Send my words to the Flame Temple Alliance: the meeting time remains three days from now, but the location is changed to Snow Heaven City."
Lin Feng spoke calmly, his voice carrying a hint of dominance that made the crowd's hearts tighten. Subconsciously, they had always placed themselves in a weaker position—and in fact, they were indeed the weaker side. But this Heavenly Punishment seemed to lack such awareness.
"Furthermore, unlike the last meeting, this time is different. The Flame Temple Alliance will certainly give us sufficient attention. Although we should be pleased about this, we must not forget how the Soul Temple was erased from the Nine Heavens," Lin Feng continued, causing the pupils of the crowd to contract slightly. They had indeed developed to the point of attracting the temples' attention. As Lin Feng said, if the Temple Alliance used the same methods against them as they had against the Soul Temple, they would need to be on guard.
"Alliance Leader, what do you think we should do?" someone asked Lin Feng.
"Immediately spread the news of our meeting three days from now, as quickly as possible, so that every region of the Nine Heavens knows. At the same time, if the Flame Temple Alliance doesn't send anyone on the third day, this meeting is canceled," Lin Feng said, a sharp gleam flashing in his eyes. The crowd's pupils contracted. It was a good strategy. With the news spreading across the Nine Heavens, the Fate Temple Alliance, eager for information, would learn of it immediately and send people to watch Snow Heaven City.
This was undoubtedly a warning to the Flame Temple Alliance: it would be best not to send all their experts to Snow Heaven City. Otherwise, if the Fate Temple Alliance did something at their temple lairs, things would get interesting. Thus, the Flame Temple Alliance would have to leave half of their experts behind to guard their various temples. This way, the three alliances could handle the situation here.
"Let's do it this way," Emperor Xi said calmly, his words seemingly settling the matter.
"It's a good method," Zi Zhu also agreed. Since they had reached a consensus, the news began to spread immediately. Soon, everyone in the Nine Heavens knew that the three alliances of Snow Heaven City had been formally established. This was an inevitable trend that was bound to happen sooner or later.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, snowflakes actually drifted through the sky above Snow Heaven City, and the snow fell heavily. Soon, it covered the ground with a thick layer, as if dyeing the entire world white.
In this vast white world, in a certain enormous space, many figures appeared. They stood there, divided into three camps, yet they were not far apart, as if they depended on each other.
On the opposite side, a group of figures descended through the void. They simply floated in the air, looking in this direction. The leader was the Hall Master of the Void Divine Temple.
"The Void Divine Temple Hall Master controls the Heaven Sealing Chart. His presence to lead this meeting clearly has deeper meaning," the crowd thought to themselves. After all, they were scattered cultivator forces, not as deeply established as the temples. If they fought one-on-one, the losing side would definitely be them. Moreover, at the top expert level, even if Zi Zhu and Emperor Xi were strong, they had no chance against a Temple Hall Master. Every Temple Hall Master not only possessed terrifying personal strength but also controlled a super sacred artifact.
In addition, each temple had several powerful supreme sacred king weapons, controlled by Supreme Realm cultivators to amplify their strength.
Apart from the Void Divine Temple Hall Master, another Hall Master appeared: the Thunder Temple Hall Master.
The Thunder Temple, in a sense, had been forced to join this alliance after the Soul Temple's destruction. The Flame Temple Alliance did not allow them to remain neutral—either become part of them or be destroyed.
"Brother Lei, I've heard that across from us today, there is someone who calls himself Heavenly Punishment, wielding the power of divine punishment. What do you think of him?" the Void Divine Temple Hall Master looked at the Thunder Temple Hall Master beside him, his expression cold. He had already heard about what happened three days ago and naturally knew of Heavenly Punishment's arrogance.
"Perhaps he is lost in his own world," the Thunder Temple Hall Master replied. He was tall and imposing, his body seemingly shimmering with purple light like a thunder god. Standing in the void, he exuded a powerful majesty.
"Everyone, you have requested another meeting. May I ask what it is about?" At this moment, Zi Zhu looked at the void opposite them and asked indifferently.
"Our seven great temples are gathering the heroes of the Nine Heavens. If any of you are willing, you may join any one of our seven temples and become a member of the dominant forces of the Nine Heavens," the Thunder Temple Hall Master said, his authoritative gaze sweeping over the crowd. He did not hide their purpose at all, speaking very frankly.
"Do you realize what kind of occasion this is?" Emperor Xi said coldly. Inviting people to join the Temple Alliance here was utterly reckless.
"In this chaotic era of the Nine Heavens, many people want to fish in troubled waters. But how can the foundation of the temples be compared to theirs? The alliance of seven temples shakes the entire Nine Heavens. Those who do not submit and become enemies—I believe you have all seen the lesson of the Soul Temple," the Thunder Temple Hall Master continued, causing many to feel a hint of fear. They knew his words were not an empty threat.
"If this meeting is only for us to listen to your nonsense, I think we can end it here," Lin Feng said calmly, causing the Thunder Temple Hall Master to look at him. Bolts of lightning flashed as he stared at Lin Feng and said slowly, "Let me give you a piece of advice: do not blindly follow, becoming puppets to satisfy others' ambitions. In the end, your bones will pile up, and when you look back, who will remember your deaths? Besides, do you truly believe that mere forces like the Heavenly Punishment Alliance and the Chaos Heaven Alliance can shake the structure of the Nine Heavens?"
"If they cannot shake the structure of the Nine Heavens, then why have the Void Divine Temple and Thunder Temple Hall Masters personally come here to stir up hearts and minds?" Lin Feng looked at the other side and said calmly, "Join the Temple Alliance? What a joke. To become cannon fodder in your struggle against the Fate Temple Alliance? Let me give you a piece of advice as well: this meeting is over. If you want to fight, do it early. If you want to fart, go do it somewhere else."
His cold, domineering voice spread through the snowy world, causing the temperature in the air to drop several degrees.
"What an insolent fellow," the Void Divine Temple Hall Master said coldly. In the center of his palm, light shimmered as the Heaven Sealing Chart slowly rose into the air. Suddenly, a dazzling radiance sealed off this space. Immediately, chaotic sounds came from behind Lin Feng, with some people growing uneasy. Many were a little worried. The Void Divine Temple Hall Master had directly activated the Heaven Sealing Chart to seal the void.
"Apologize for what you just said," the Void Divine Temple Hall Master said coldly. At the same time, a massive hammer appeared in the Thunder Temple Hall Master's hand. This hammer seemed to contain divine thunder, and his entire body was enveloped in an instant.
"The Thunder Temple's supreme treasure, the Heaven-Shaking Thunder God Hammer. One strike shatters the world, with terrifying destructive power. This time, both Temple Hall Masters have brought their supreme treasures," the crowd thought, their expressions stiff. The void became extremely oppressive. The two Temple Hall Masters were using Lin Feng as a breakthrough point to establish their authority.
If Lin Feng yielded and apologized, what would happen next could be predicted.
Light flashed, and a long spear appeared in Lin Feng's hand. This spear was strange—it seemed shorter than an ordinary spear and carried a sharp sword aura.
Lin Feng's body slowly rose and then floated forward. Suddenly, his hand trembled, and the long spear stabbed directly into the snow on the ground. In that instant, an absolutely terrifying aura spread out. The ground immediately cracked, forming fissures. The long spear stood in the snow like an eternal divine spear that had existed since ancient times.
Lin Feng looked calmly ahead and spoke indifferently: "If you want to fight, I am happy to oblige."
