Free Web NovelChapter 1426: Chapter 922: Cautious Negotiations
The Chaos Primordial King did not underestimate Lin Feng. In his opinion, once one’s cultivation reaches the Supreme Realm, even extraordinary talents no longer possess the ability to fight across levels. It is unlikely that even a prodigy like Lin Feng could fight across two levels.
"Find out quickly! I won’t stay here long!" Lin Feng instructed. Only by understanding the relationship between the Five Elements Divine Sect and the Lu Family would he be able to take action.
Although the Lu Family seemed to pose little threat to him, since they also had connections with Ancient Cloud and Tianlan, he couldn’t afford to be careless.
If he were alone, there would be no need to overthink it—just strike. However, considering the millions within the Absolute Divine Sect, he couldn’t ignore their well-being.
"Lin Feng, rest assured, I will personally go out to investigate this matter." the Palace Master of Human Virtue said.
"You four Elders, go out and investigate together!" Lin Feng instructed, glancing at the Chaos Primordial King, the Palace Master of Human Virtue, Long Chang, and the Ultimate Sword King. This matter must be resolved quickly, and the four of them going together could watch each other’s backs. In any case, with him in the Absolute Divine Sect, there was nothing to worry about.
"Alright!" The four Elders nodded, and immediately, everyone started to leave.
Following this, Lin Feng stayed in the Absolute Divine Sect, spending time with his family while waiting for the news from the four Elders.
As for whether the five leaders of the Five Elements Divine Sect would come, he wasn’t concerned or worried.
...
Five Elements City is a solitary city located on a desolate plain, approximately tens of thousands of miles from the Absolute Divine Sect.
Five Elements City is where the Five Elements Divine Sect is established, a force that has constructed a medium-sized city with a population in the millions.
Inside a vast and expansive mansion within the city, five powerful figures are seated in a side hall.
These five are four men and one woman. All the men appear middle-aged, while the woman is a middle-aged lady.
Before the five people stands a middle-aged man in a yellow robe, the advanced Divine King who had just returned from the Absolute Divine Sect.
"Reporting to the five Sect Leaders, the leader of the Absolute Divine Sect is arrogantly self-important. Not only does he refuse to come, but he also demands that the five Sect Leaders go to see him!" The middle-aged man in the yellow robe bowed and reported in a loud voice.
"Did you see this person, and what is his cultivation level?"
Seated in the middle of the five Sect Leaders is a tall and sturdy man in a golden robe. He lowered his eyes, gazing at the middle-aged man in the yellow robe.
This tall and sturdy man is the Great Sect Leader of the Five Elements Divine Sect—Jin Feng.
"I didn’t see him, so I’m unaware of his cultivation level!" replied the middle-aged man in yellow honestly. At that time, he had not laid eyes on Lin Feng, and even his divine sense could not penetrate the palace where Lin Feng resided.
Jin Feng frowned upon hearing this. Without seeing the leader of the Absolute Divine Sect, they couldn’t act rashly.
"Elder Brother, why don’t I take action and probe first?" A man in a fiery red robe suggested, turning to Jin Feng.
This man was short and rough-looking, with blazing flames flickering in his eyes. He was Huo Tan, the Fourth Sect Leader of the Five Elements Divine Sect.
"No, we are not clear about the Absolute Divine Sect’s background. We cannot act carelessly, lest we invite disaster!" Jin Feng shook his head. If the leader of the Absolute Divine Sect were a Great Success in the Supreme Realm, acting rashly could be disastrous.
"Elder Brother, this Absolute Divine Sect appeared out of nowhere, with more disciples than our Five Elements Divine Sect. Their cultivation is generally high. We must eliminate them, or they’ll become a great foe in the future!" The middle-aged woman said. She appeared ordinary but had a youthful, tender complexion like a baby’s.
This woman was the Third Sect Leader of the Five Elements Divine Sect—Shui Yao.
"That’s right. In this region within a fifty-thousand-mile radius, it is our territory. If the Absolute Divine Sect wants to occupy it, they must pay the price!" said another figure, a slender middle-aged man who was the Second Sect Leader, Mu Cheng.
"No mountain can house two tigers. They must be eliminated!" said the stern-faced Fifth Sect Leader, Tu Kun.
"Elimination is a given, but it must not be reckless!"
Great Sect Leader Jin Feng nodded slightly, continuing, "A sect of that size presumably has many resources and treasures. Upon eliminating them, our Five Elements Divine Sect could advance to a higher level."
"Elder Brother, what should we do?" Huo Tan enquired. Since they couldn’t storm over directly and knew little about the Absolute Divine Sect, it posed a challenge.
Primarily, the disciples of the Absolute Divine Sect seldom ventured out, leaving them with no opportunity to gather intelligence on the sect.
Upon hearing this, Jin Feng remained silent. After a while, he spoke, "Since he wants us to meet him, we will comply as he wishes!"
"Elder Brother, you mean we should meet the leader of the Absolute Divine Sect, and if his strength is substantial, we make peace; if not, we eliminate them in one sweep!" Mu Cheng asked.
"Exactly!"
Jin Feng nodded and added, "We’re going together for safety. If the counterpart is a Great Success in the Supreme Realm, the five of us together might still have a chance to escape!"
"Elder Brother worries too much. We’ve had several skirmishes with the Absolute Divine Sect, and their leader never appeared, suggesting he cannot be too strong!" Shui Yao shook her head, speculating that their leader was most likely a Small Success in the Supreme Realm.
"Let’s hope so!" Jin Feng took a deep breath, his gaze sharp as a blade. In this Yunlan Great World, teeming with strong figures, he had to be cautious. Only by anticipating all possibilities could one survive long.
