Free Web NovelChapter 133: Biding Their Time—Do You Want to Become the Holy Lord?
Inside the Qingfeng Sacred Land.
After returning to the Qingfeng Sacred Land, Feng Qingyu was weighed down by worries. She found an excuse and returned to her Cave Dwelling to enter Seclusion.
Gu Tiansheng soon went to find the Grand Elder and recounted everything that had happened inside Tiannan Secret Realm.
“What? You are saying that three people broke through to Saint Emperor inside the secret realm, and two of them were the Holy Son of the Primordial Sacred Land and the Holy Maiden of the Ancient Wood Sacred Land?”
Ren Tianfeng suddenly stood up, his face filled with shock.
He was naturally no stranger to these two Great Sacred Lands, but he had never imagined that their Holy Son and Holy Maiden would possess such terrifying talent. They had broken through to the Saint Emperor Realm before even reaching a thousand years old.
As for the inheritance of True Mystery Immortal King within the secret realm, he did not find it too surprising. After all, it was not as if Immortal King Inheritances had never appeared inside Tiannan Secret Realm before.
“Whew. It seems we must carefully reconsider our relationship with those two Great Sacred Lands.”
Ren Tianfeng’s expression was grave as he murmured.
Gu Tiansheng, however, spoke without hesitation.
“Grand Elder, perhaps we should ask the Main Sect in the Upper Realm for instructions and have them send mighty figures to eliminate those two.”
“After all, if we allow them to grow, they may bring a great disaster upon our Qingfeng Sect.”
“Whew. I understand. I will request instructions from the Main Sect in the Upper Realm regarding this matter. As for you, cultivate properly for now and strive to seize first place in the Tiansheng Grand Tournament three years from now.”
“Yes.”
After Gu Tiansheng agreed, he also returned to his Cave Dwelling and began cultivating.
For some reason, after being suppressed by Lu Xiaoyao, he had actually broken through to the Mid Saint Monarch Realm during that year and a half.
After Gu Tiansheng left, Ren Tianfeng’s expression remained grave. He did not think for too long before he directly sent a message, summoning the patriarchs and elders within the sect.
Before long, a group of mighty figures appeared before Ren Tianfeng.
Ren Tianfeng did not waste any words and went straight to the point.
“What do all of you think of this matter?”
“This matter must be reported to the Main Sect in the Upper Realm. If necessary, I think we can directly go to war with those two Great Sacred Lands.”
“After all, even their sect-founding patriarchs did not possess such terrifying talent.”
Second Patriarch Shen Jinbing’s expression was ugly as he spoke without hesitation.
After all, their relationship with the Primordial Sacred Land and the Ancient Wood Sacred Land had always been poor. If they allowed those sects’ Holy Son and Holy Maiden to grow, what awaited the Qingfeng Sacred Land might be a catastrophe.
Hearing this, the other patriarchs and elders all nodded one after another.
“Indeed. Strangling them in the cradle is the best choice.”
Seeing that everyone had spoken in favor of strangling Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun in the cradle, Ren Tianfeng nodded and said.
“In that case, we will activate the Transmission Array.”
The next moment, after Ren Tianfeng entered the Transmission Array, five Saint Emperor Patriarchs used their own power to activate the Grand Formation. In an instant, Ren Tianfeng’s Divine Soul was transmitted into the Main Sect in the Immortal Realm.
At the Qingfeng Sect in the Immortal Realm, everyone was on high alert, because the Sect Master was currently at the critical moment of breaking through to the Immortal Monarch Realm.
Very soon, news that the Transmission Array had been activated reached Hu Pogu’s ears.
“What has happened in the lower realm this time?” fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Hu Pogu’s expression was somewhat ugly, but he still came before the Transmission Array.
“What happened in the lower realm again?”
“Elder Hu, the Primordial Sacred Land and the Ancient Wood Sacred Land have produced two prodigies. Both are Saint Emperors who have yet to reach a thousand years old.”
Ren Tianfeng recognized Hu Pogu, so he hurriedly told him about what had happened in Tiannan Secret Realm.
“What!”
Hu Pogu’s face was filled with shock, and the expressions of the elders around him were similarly astonished.
Clearly, they had not expected that the Primordial Sacred Land and the Ancient Wood Sacred Land would actually produce prodigies with such terrifying talent.
Hearing this, Hu Pogu’s thoughts churned constantly. Only after a long while did he speak.
“There is no need to rush this matter for now. The Sect Master is currently at the critical stage of his breakthrough. Once the Sect Master successfully breaks through to the Immortal Monarch Realm, it will not be too late to destroy those two sects.”
Right now, Gu Daoyuan was at the critical moment of his breakthrough. If those two sects learned of this, they might send experts to interfere. If his breakthrough failed at that time, the loss would outweigh the gain.
“But—”
Ren Tianfeng still wanted to say something, but Hu Pogu cut him off forcefully.
“There is no but. This matter is settled.”
“I understand.”
Ren Tianfeng sighed. Then his figure dissipated, and he returned to the Tiansheng Continent.
After Ren Tianfeng left, Hu Pogu’s expression was grave.
“These truly are troubled times. First, our Qingfeng Sect took in a disciple with a Divine-Grade Spiritual Root, and then the Primordial Sect and Ancient Wood Sect took in two prodigies whose talents are even more terrifying than our Qingfeng Sect’s Holy Son.”
“However...” Hu Pogu turned to look toward the place where the Sect Master was in Seclusion. Sensing the terrifying aura constantly brewing within, he murmured, “When the Sect Master becomes an Immortal Monarch, that will be the moment our Qingfeng Sect annexes the other two great sects.”
...
“How did it go? What did the Main Sect in the Upper Realm say?”
The instant Ren Tianfeng’s Divine Soul returned to his body, the surrounding patriarchs and elders could not wait to step forward and ask.
But Ren Tianfeng sighed and said with a somewhat ugly expression, “The Main Sect in the Upper Realm told us to stop here for now and wait until the Sect Master breaks through to the Immortal Monarch Realm before making plans.”
Hearing this, the expressions of the patriarchs and elders all became rather ugly, but in the end, they still sighed and agreed.
After all, aside from agreeing, they had no other choice.
As for assassinating Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun?
Only if they thought their lives were too long would they go and assassinate them. Without even thinking, they knew that those two great sects would probably focus all of their attention on the two siblings’ identities.
“What! The Holy Son broke through to the Saint Emperor Realm?”
Ye Wushuang looked at Lu Xiaoyao in shock. Sensing that incomparably powerful aura, he fell silent.
Even he, despite his unparalleled talent, had cultivated for a full ten thousand years before breaking through to the Saint Emperor Realm. But the Holy Son had not even reached twenty years old!
Even the sect-founding patriarch’s talent had not been as terrifying as the Holy Son’s.
In a daze, he seemed to see an incomparably terrifying Heavenly Emperor slowly rising.
“Holy Lord, how is it? I did not embarrass you, did I?”
Lu Xiaoyao said proudly.
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang fell silent even faster. He needed a little time to accept this matter.
All of a sudden, he felt increasingly fortunate about his decision. Luckily, he had firmly sided with Lu Xunxian. Otherwise, he would definitely have regretted it to death.
Thinking this, Ye Wushuang looked at Lu Xiaoyao with a serious expression.
“Holy Son, do you want to become the Holy Lord? If you want to become the Holy Lord, I will pass the position to you right now.”
“Ahem. You should keep that position for yourself, Holy Lord. I have no interest in it.”
Lu Xiaoyao coughed and rejected him without the slightest hesitation.
As the Holy Son, he held a high position and great authority, making countless people envious.
But if he became the Holy Lord, then he would have to handle affairs.
If Lu Xiaoyao was asked to fight, that was fine. But if he was asked to handle the affairs of the Sacred Land, he would rather fight a battle against someone at the Peak of the Saint Emperor Realm.
