Chapter 1344: Chapter 1344: Everyone Is On Edge
“How could Wind Shadow possibly be at the Divine Grade? This is impossible! A mere junior couldn’t possibly step into the Divine Grade!”
The heavily injured Mr. Guigu returned to the Tianzun Divine Palace, both furious and panicked, his face completely out of composure, lacking the demeanor of the Great Elder of the Shengxian Divine Hall.
For the first time, the Immortal Heavenly Emperor and others saw Mr. Guigu so out of composure, and none of them dared to speak.
“Mr. Guigu, your injuries are severe. Instead of thinking too much, it would be better to heal properly. After your injuries are healed, we can find a way to deal with Wind Shadow,” came the voice of the Grand Sovereign. As his words fell, he silently appeared in the main hall of the Shengxian Divine Hall.
“Greetings to the Grand Sovereign!” The seven Great Heavenly Emperors respectfully saluted, not daring to show any disrespect.
“Grand Sovereign, the Spirit Emperor has been killed,” the Immortal Heavenly Emperor quickly spoke.
“This matter is already known to me, no need to elaborate,” the Grand Sovereign said expressionlessly, showing no concern over the Spirit Emperor’s death.
“Mr. Guigu, you need not bother over this failure. Long Nitian’s cultivation of the Undying Golden Body was beyond our expectations,” said the Grand Sovereign.
“Grand Sovereign, there’s something I wish to say, but I’m unsure if it’s appropriate,” the Asura Heavenly Emperor said respectfully.
“Speak!” the Grand Sovereign looked at the Asura Heavenly Emperor.
The Asura Heavenly Emperor said respectfully: “As the young master of the Dragon God Clan, Wind Shadow indeed has the protection of powerful Dragon God Clan members in secret, but they don’t follow him everywhere at all times. They appeared because they sensed a strong presence that threatened Wind Shadow’s existence; that’s why they showed up. Therefore, if we want to kill Wind Shadow, we’ll need to consider other methods.”
“Wind Shadow is merely at the Heavenly Monarch Realm; we can easily send someone at the Heavenly Deity Realm to attack or ambush him directly, without a big fuss.”
“Grand Sovereign, Asura Heavenly Emperor’s words make sense,” the Immortal Kui Heavenly Emperor agreed. “Let’s wait for a while until Wind Shadow lowers his guard, and then strike. A single strike would not alert Long Nitian and the others.”
“Taking him by surprise is indeed the best way to eliminate Wind Shadow,” the other Heavenly Emperors all agreed.
The Grand Sovereign nodded slightly, saying: “Asura Heavenly Emperor, this matter will be entrusted to you. Wind Shadow must not be left alive!”
“Yes! I will faithfully execute the Grand Sovereign’s command,” the Asura Heavenly Emperor respectfully accepted the order.
“Before killing Wind Shadow, I must obtain the One-Thought Pill Concoction divine skill!” Mr. Guigu suddenly spoke.
“One-Thought Pill Concoction?” the Grand Sovereign slightly frowned, saying: “Even with your Divine Grade realm, you couldn’t reach the state of One-Thought Pill Concoction. This Wind Shadow is quite formidable.”
“Has the Great Elder entered the Divine Grade realm?” the Immortal Heavenly Emperor and others were all greatly shocked, their eyes wide open.
“Correct, in a short time, the Great Elder will be able to exit seclusion. Perhaps he’ll also be interested in the One-Thought Pill Concoction divine skill,” the Grand Sovereign said coldly, without any expression.
…
In the Spirit Emperor Temple, there was a deathly silence, an unprecedented quiet, with the hall pervaded by a strange aura of fear and dread.
Clearly, the death of the Spirit Emperor has greatly impacted the Spirit Emperor Temple.
Being among the eight Great Heavenly Emperors of the Heavenly Realm, their terrifying power, no one expected the Spirit Emperor to be defeated, much less believe that he died at the hands of Feng Wuchen.
In the main hall, the three Elders and Gu Xingfeng were all stunned on the spot, as if under a spell, yet their faces were filled with fear.
“Elder, Venerable, did the Spirit Emperor… really get killed?” a Heavenly Deity Realm expert asked in terror, his stiff face filled with disbelief.
Gu Xingfeng said dumbfounded: “The Spirit Emperor is dead…”
“The Dragon God Clan is terrifying! We can’t handle them at all. If the Heavenly Sovereign doesn’t act, we’ll only be sending more people to their deaths!” an Elder said in fear.
“The Spirit Emperor is dead!”
“How could Wind Shadow have killed the Spirit Emperor? Absolutely impossible!”
“The Dragon God Clan rising again, with the Spiritual Realm Commerce Association, Tianshi Immortal Mansion, Inscription Master Guild, and Artificer Guild all standing by Feng Wuchen. Do we still have a place in the Ling Realm?”
The Spirit Emperor Temple was in utter terror, everyone on edge, anxious for their safety.
“Great Elder, will Wind Shadow come to our Spirit Emperor Temple to kill us?” someone asked in fear, as Mr. Guigu sent so many experts, but they couldn’t do anything to Wind Shadow, who in turn, severely injured Feng Wuchen, killing thousands of Heavenly Monarch realm experts and numerous Heavenly Deity Realm experts.
With such terrifying strength, how could they not be afraid?
The Great Elder’s old face was filled with terror, unable to utter a word.
The leaders of the Spirit Emperor Temple were clearly scared badly, but the more they were, the more panic spread among the people of the Spirit Emperor Temple.
“Elder, Venerable, does the young master know about this?” a Heavenly Deity Realm expert asked.
“The young master hasn’t left seclusion and doesn’t know the Spirit Emperor is dead,” Gu Xingfeng shook his head dully.
The Great Elder suddenly snapped back to his senses, suppressing his inner fear, and said solemnly: “This matter must not be known to the young master for now, lest he goes to his death!”
“Great Elder, what do we do now? If Wind Shadow attacks, won’t we be doomed?”
“Great Elder, think of something quick! If Wind Shadow and his people attack now, we can’t resist at all.”
“With the Spirit Emperor dead, will the Tianzun Divine Palace care about our life or death?”
The multitude of experts became increasingly panicked.
“What are you panicking for?”
Just as fear and uncertainty pervaded the Spirit Emperor Temple, a voice filled with authority suddenly echoed throughout, startling the inhabitants.
A supremely terrifying pressure enveloped the Spirit Emperor Temple, strongly intimidating everyone.
From this terrifying pressure, it was evident the person was at the realm of Triple Heavenly Emperor.
“Heavenly Emperor expert!” The Spirit Emperor Temple was filled with fear, scared out of their wits, thinking it was Feng Wuchen.
In the main hall, a figure suddenly appeared, emanating that terrifying pressure from them.
“Xuan Ao Heavenly Emperor!” Seeing the newcomer, Gu Xingfeng and the three Elders’ expressions changed dramatically.
Xuan Ao Heavenly Emperor is the powerful expert under the Tianzun Divine Palace, more powerful than the eight Great Heavenly Emperors, extremely frightening.
Xuan Ao Heavenly Emperor ascended to the throne, arrogantly saying: “The Spirit Emperor is dead, and I am here by the Grand Sovereign’s decree to assume his position, taking over the Spirit Emperor Temple from today onward.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Xingfeng and the three Elders were overjoyed, the fear and panic on their faces instantly disappeared, and they immediately knelt respectfully: “Greetings to the Spirit Emperor!”
With Xuan Ao Heavenly Emperor overseeing the Spirit Emperor Temple, Gu Xingfeng and the others were instantly relieved.
Apart from the Spirit Emperor Temple, the Moon God Palace was equally filled with terror.
The Spirit Emperor’s death deeply intimidated the Moon God Palace, causing many to secretly flee, unwilling to stay behind and face death.
Chi Qingshan was restless, for in this battle seeing the Spirit Emperor killed, they had witnessed Feng Wuchen’s dreadful influence, and no one dared to say Feng Wuchen wouldn’t come to flatten the Moon God Palace right away.
Chi Qingshan wished to withdraw from the Ling Realm immediately, but if he withdrew, how could he establish himself in the Heavenly Realm in the future? What face would he have left?
The higher the status, the more one values face, and thus the less they can afford to lose it.
As the Palace Master of the Moon God Palace, even if Chi Qingshan wished to leave the Ling Realm, his pride wouldn’t allow it.
Pride leads to suffering!
