Chapter 512: Deterrence
The Myriad Saber Alliance was originally just a loose alliance composed of some saber immortals. Over time, a saber monarch joined them, but that was not enough to propel them to become the publicly acknowledged strongest first-rate force. No, their rise began with the birth of the first saber emperor, which caused countless saber cultivators to join them, greatly boosting their pool of talents and numbers.
From then on, the Myriad Saber Alliance almost always had a saber emperor leading them. Even when they didn’t, it would only last a generation or two. They were only inferior to the Numinous Sword Sect that always had several sword emperors.
It was because the Numinous Sword Sect suddenly only had one public sword emperor that the other sects became lively.
But getting back to the Myriad Saber Alliance. In contrast to the headquarters of the Numinous Sword Sect, the Myriad Saber Alliance’s headquarters was a giant city called Allsaber City. It wasn’t always a city. Originally, it started out as a collection of buildings built nearby to facilitate communication and community between the members of the alliance. Over time, it expanded until it transformed into a city and the core of the Myriad Saber Alliance.
Despite being the publicly acknowledged number one force under the sole hegemon, the Myriad Saber Alliance was only on the same level as the other first-rate forces. The reason for this was because of their origins. What gave them their greatest strength also gave them their greatest weakness.
More often than not, the decision makers of the Myriad Saber Alliance were not of one mind or heart. Even if a saber emperor was present, this situation would not change. They have the most amount of infighting among all first-rate forces. The decision to kill Emperor Wujian was a rare unanimous decision that appeared only once in a blue moon.
And now, Allsaber City stood in ruins.
Standing in the air above the destroyed city were twelve figures. They were Monarch Solesword and nine other monarchs of the Numinous Sword Sect and the two awakened sword emperors. All of them had some degree of injuries, but their eyes were bright, like they did not feel fatigue or pain.
“Should we give chase?” a monarch asked, standing next to Monarch Solesword.
