Capítulo 1477: Chapter 1452: Lower Than Beasts
Southern State.
Xiaoshanhe Institute.
Jin Wu Shuo looked at the Tongtian Patriarch before him, whose face was grim and whose body was enveloped in torrents of thunder as if he were the Thunder God incarnate, and said with a bitter smile, “Tongtian, I’ve done my best, but I didn’t expect the leader to still be obstinate…”
The Tongtian Patriarch and Jin Wu Shuo had known each other since the Ancient Times.
The two had even gone through life-and-death trials together.
Precisely for this reason.
He took the risk to bring Zi Feng to the Mysterious Realm to seek out the Martial Clan’s leader.
Jin Wu Shuo also knew very well the character of the Tongtian Patriarch.
He was an extremely proud and self-assured being.
For him to proactively offer allegiance to the Mysterious Realm was already exceedingly difficult.
The result…
The Martial Clan Leader Zhao Wudi not only directly rejected his offer of allegiance.
He even killed the envoy Zi Feng whom he had sent.
In the end, he even resorted to insults.
Not qualified to cooperate with this seat?
The words of the Martial Clan Leader were indeed a great insult to the always highly self-regarded Tongtian Patriarch!
Jin Wu Shuo said with a bitter smile, “Tongtian, the Martial Clan Leader’s strength is extremely terrifying, not only is he an existence above the Sacred Venerate, but he has also taken a huge step in that realm. I even suspect he has surpassed his father Zhao Wuji, you should still…”
“Hmph!”
The Tongtian Patriarch snorted coldly, his eyes narrowed into slits as he said coldly, “A Sacred Venerate above, a Zhao Wudi, a son of Zhao Wuji…”
Resentment brewed in his heart.
Wishing he could flay Zhao Wudi alive.
Seeing this, Jin Wu Shuo frowned slightly. Now, under the strong suppression of Zhao Wudi, none of the powerful figures in the entire Mysterious Realm had the courage to have rebellious thoughts.
But at the same time…
The Tongtian Patriarch was also his friend of many years. After hesitating again and again, Jin Wu Shuo still said, “Tongtian, this seat is a close friend with you, you should be clear in your heart how this seat has treated you all these years. Today, this seat advises you not to harbor hatred against Leader Zhao and not to entertain thoughts of revenge. There is no one in the Qingtian Realm who is his match, not even those two in the Sun and Moon Hall upon revival can stop him…”
The Tongtian Patriarch remained silent.
Jin Wu Shuo internally sighed.
He knew the character of the Tongtian Patriarch and feared that this matter would not be so easily dropped.
“I’ve said all I can.”
Jin Wu Shuo cupped his hands towards the Tongtian Patriarch, deciding not to persuade further, he had done his utmost, but if the other still insisted on seeking death, there was nothing more he could do, “Tongtian, take care of yourself!”
Swish!
Jin Wu Shuo soared into the sky, not daring to linger any longer.
He feared that staying too long would arouse Zhao Wudi’s suspicion.
Now, the Martial Clan was no longer the same as when Zhao Wudi was in seclusion.
Ever since Zhao Wudi emerged, the Martial Clan had become much more forceful than in the past. Even if he was among the first to pledge allegiance to the Martial Clan, he could not guarantee that the Martial Clan would remember old alliances.
After all.
Zhao Wudi was someone who would kill even the elders of the Martial Clan over a disagreement!
Watching Jin Wu Shuo leave, the Tongtian Patriarch was silent for a moment, his cold gaze falling on the bloodied head of Zi Feng, which he tore apart with a loud crack.
A sinister look converged in his eyes into an intense coldness.
“Zhao Wudi? Hmph, even if Zhao Wuji were alive, he could not insult this seat in such a manner…”
The Tongtian Patriarch clenched his fists tightly, murmuring sinisterly, “Since your Mysterious Realm looks down on this seat, then don’t blame this seat. The Qingtian Realm is not just your Mysterious Realm alone…”
Swish!
The Tongtian Patriarch transformed into a sharp sword, heading straight for Beizhou.
His speed was swift.
Like a star shooting from the heavens.
Yet, at that moment, the Tongtian Patriarch was unaware that a figure had been hiding in the shadows, watching him fly towards Beizhou, gradually revealing itself. It was none other than Jin Wu Shuo, who had just left.
He had returned in secret, further eavesdropping.
Watching the direction in which the Tongtian Patriarch departed, Jin Wu Shuo sighed softly, then revealed a cold and resolute expression: “Tongtian, it is not that this seat won’t help you, but truly you are seeking your own doom. Reporting this to Leader Zhao should count as some merit, right?”
Whoosh!
Jin Wu Shuo disappeared into the void.
……
Beizhou.
Sun and Moon Hall.
The vast Sun and Moon Hall was full of aged marks, both inside and out, covered in traces of battle.
There were sword marks, knife marks, spear marks, and so on…
These were remnants of a battle from years ago.
Ever since the Hall of Longevity was cast deep into the void, some of the Nine Halls of Longevity followed it into the depths of the Chaotic Void and went missing, while others scattered across the world.
This Sun and Moon Hall was one among them.
The battle back then was too brutal, even several of the Nine Halls of Longevity were shattered.
The Sun and Moon Hall Master was gravely injured and sealed himself here.
Now seeing the light of day once again,
The cultivation of the two Hall Masters had not returned to its peak, both were at the First Layer of the Saint King Realm, but when joined together, they could still hold their own against a strong opponent at the Third Layer of the Saint King Realm.
The Red Sun Palace Master sighed, “Back then, how prosperous was our Hall of Longevity? The nine Hall Masters were all Saint Kings, even the ancestral lands gave us some face, and now the main hall is still trapped in the void, and our Sun and Moon Hall barely has these few people left…”
A gathering of Sun and Moon Hall’s powerful figures all lowered their heads, their expressions darkened.
The once great Sun and Moon Hall was a mighty force among the Nine Halls of Longevity, with more than five Saint Kings and nearly a hundred Sacred Venerate Elders, and countless other strong figures.
Yet now…
Only they two remained as Saint Kings, and the number of Sacred Venerate Elders was down to the fingers on two hands.
The other strong figures numbered just over ten thousand.
Compared to their peak, less than one-tenth remained.
“Brother, do not be sorrowful!”
Master Mingyue’s voice was clear and cold, less sentimental than the Red Sun Palace Master and with more indifference, “Back in those days, we were commanded to come to the Qingtian Realm from the ancestral lands to establish the Hall of Longevity, and we reigned over the Qingtian Realm for many years without decline. Now that we are revived, we can regain control over the Qingtian Realm. Moreover, while this was a disaster for us, isn’t it also an opportunity?”
“Opportunity?” The Red Sun Palace Master was surprised.
Master Mingyue nodded, sending a voice transmission, “In the past, the Hall of Longevity was splendid, with the nine halls revering together, though glorious, it was not for you and me. Even if such a treasure were found, it would not fall into our hands, yet now we are the only two Saint Kings left, wouldn’t it belong to us if we found it?”
Hiss!
The Red Sun Palace Master drew a sharp breath, then his eyes lit up, “Your words have awakened the dreamer, younger brother!”
The two exchanged a glance.
Both of their eyes were burning with fervor.
The Red Sun Palace Master said, “However, to find such an item, we must first regain control of the Qingtian Realm.”
“Brother is right, but to control the Qingtian Realm, we must first deal with the Mysterious Realm…” Master Mingyue said.
The Red Sun Palace Master nodded and was about to speak when Elder Yang Wu rushed in from outside in a hurry, “Hall Master, the Alliance Hierarch Tongtian is seeking an audience outside, saying he has important intelligence about the Mysterious Realm…”
“Tongtian Patriarch?”
“This double-crossing creature, didn’t he send someone to contact the Mysterious Realm? How does he still have the face to seek us out?” Elder Yue Yi and others growled.
The Red Sun Palace Master squinted, his eyes filled with murderous intent, “Such a double-dealing traitor is no better than a pig or dog. Where is he? Let this seat go and destroy him…”
Back then, the reason Zhao Wuji was able to successfully overthrow the Hall of Longevity.
Aside from his own immensely terrifying strength, the more important factor was the assistance from life forms within the Qingtian Realm linked to the Hall of Longevity.
They hated traitors who played both sides the most.
However…
Just as the Red Sun Palace Master was about to take action, Master Mingyue spoke up, “Brother, wait, that traitor may be no better than a pig or dog, but pigs and dogs have their uses…”
