Chapter 1176: Are You Going to Humiliate Me Just Because You’re About to Die? (2)
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
He did not expect to get an answer right away.
The Holy Master was indeed extraordinary.
It was even more remarkable than the information he got at the gathering. Such an existence with many divine souls was really not to be trifled with.
How he forced the other party at the moment would determine how he would need to guard against them in the future.
If it was not for the sake of survival, the Holy Master would not do so much for him.
He could only take it one step at a time.
If the Great Era War arrived and the Heavenly Note Sect could not withstand the other party, they would have to move.
He could go to the immortal sect and hide behind a new identity.
“There’s a strange beast in the Imperial City in the South, but it has not hatched yet,” the Holy Master said indifferently.
“Are mutated beasts very significant?” Jiang Hao asked.
He had heard of the Imperial City in the South, but he had never been there before.
As for whether he should inform this at the gathering would depend on the situation.
“The significance of mutated beasts?” the Holy Master thought for a moment and said, “Back in the day, the mutated beasts were born and raised by the earth. The immortals wanted to subdue them, but they couldn’t. In the end, the Human Emperor suppressed them and stripped them of their powers. Actually, there was no need to do that. The Human Emperor’s action only added pressure on himself. Although they were formidable, they were not that dangerous. So, I assume there was a hidden reason for it.”
“Hidden reason?” Jiang Hao was surprised.
“I don’t know.” The Holy Master shook his head. “I left too early. That Heavenly Spirit Tribe member was too ruthless. The Human Emperor didn’t even say anything and forced me to leave. He was too powerful, and he had his own unique ideas, as well as mastery of forbidden techniques. Even when I left, I knew he wouldn’t have a good end. As expected, the heavens and earth abandoned him, deprived the Heavenly Spirit Tribe of their favor, and he himself was sealed by the Human Emperor. He is basically unable to return.”
Jiang Hao nodded.
Compared to the Holy Master, it was even more impossible for Saint Bandits to return.
The Holy Master had countless avatars, but the Saint Bandits were sealed in the Sea Fog Cave.
His influence was too limited.
Even when the seal was broken, it was difficult for him to return.
However, Jiang Hao was a little concerned. He knew about the Heaven Lock Technique too.
Would the world hate him in the future?
Or would there be a reaction from the heavens and earth when he became an immortal?
Fortunately, he would never act like the Saint Bandit and do something that would anger everyone.
After all, he was just an ordinary person.
He did not have great ambitions.
From what the Holy Master said, it seemed he hated the Saint Bandit too.
“So, are you enemies with the Saint Bandit?” asked Jiang Hao.
“Yes.” The Holy Master nodded.
“When I’m back in my main body, I’ll suppress the Saint Bandit and seal him away once again. I’ll let him know that he offended the wrong people back then.”
Jiang Hao sighed with emotion. Indeed, it was never too late for a person to take their revenge.
Jiang Hao did not want to get involved in their matter.
In front of such an expert, he was nothing.
The Holy Master’s return would be the day he would go into hiding.
As for warning the Saint Bandit about it, that would depend on whether he would have enough time.
The Holy Master had his own goals, and as brothers, Jiang Hao would do as much as he could to add some obstacles in his path.
If there was no challenge on his path, the Holy Master might feel disappointed, after all.
Afterward, they continued on their way and discussed overseas matters.
As for the Heavenly Saint Sect, Jiang Hao did not want to talk about it.
Some things were better left alone. No matter what the Heavenly Saint Sect was capable of, they could not save him.
He wanted to talk about the Great Thousand God Sect instead, especially about the “gift” that he would send.
The Holy Master said that it would be ready in a couple of days.
Jiang Hao waited eagerly.
…
In the West, in the main hall of the Astronomical Academy, a middle-aged man sat on a high seat. His brows were furrowed as he looked at the woman below.
She lowered her head respectfully. She looked regal even from afar.
The middle-aged man sighed. “Yuezhi…”
“Yes?” Yan Yuezhi said respectfully.
“In the future, go to the backyard and look for Master Jing and the others. If they are not there, I will send a letter to them on your behalf. Do not come here. I’m doing this for your own good. Being appreciated by those three will greatly benefit your future. I hope you understand my intentions.”
“Thank you for your guidance, Master,” Yan Yuezhi said gratefully.
“No need to thank me. In the future, if you want to find anyone in the backyard, you can go freely. As long as you can enter, you can go anywhere. This is the privilege I give you,” the Sect Master said earnestly.
“Thank you, Master.” Yan Yuezhi thanked him again. “The West might be in chaos too. Do you need me to do anything?”
“The most important thing right now is for you to go and rest. Don’t wander around too much,” said the Sect Master, and implied that he would take care of the rest.
Yan Yuezhi wanted to say that something big might happen overseas and that they should pay attention to it.
After all, the Twelve Heavenly Kings were trying to become immortals.
It was not a small matter.
It was a pity that the Sect Master asked her to leave.
She could only wait and mention it later. Fortunately, it was not urgent.
The chaos in the West was the most urgent matter at the moment.
After she left, the Sect Master sighed. “Looking back at everything, is this the girl who always brings news that plunges our sect into turmoil?”
“Yes,” said a low voice from behind.
“It is no wonder the seniors in the backyard don’t like her much,” said the Sect Master. “If she comes here again in the future, tell her I’m not present, and she should go to the backyard to seek guidance from the three Elders. Also, when Senior Jing and the others return, inform her that if there is anything, she can find them there. Just tell her not to come here.”
The voice behind him said, “Understood.”
The Sect Master heaved a sigh of relief.
…
Three days later, the originally quiet sea realm suddenly rumbled.
There were huge fluctuations in the sea areas everywhere.
A powerful mental power swept in all directions like a tsunami.
Powerful spiritual forces swept across all directions like a tsunami.
Hundreds or even thousands of divine souls soared into the sky and stirred the seas even more.
At that moment, people overseas sensed the change, but no one knew why it was happening.
The next moment, they saw figures chase after the divine souls.
The Great Thousand Spirit spread out to inform all the members of the Great Thousand God Sect.
Many people began to spread the news.
A huge change occurred in the Great Thousand Council of Gods, and countless members began to pursue the divine souls overseas.
They did not know what kind of divine souls they were.
The next afternoon, on a mountain peak in the South, Feng Hua and Hu Yuexin frowned.
“It’s been more than a month. Nothing unexpected has happened,” said Feng Hua.
Hu Yuexin looked ahead and frowned.
She thought about it. There was indeed nothing that had changed.
However, she was still worried.
She heaved a sigh of relief after a long time.
“It seems that we have fallen into his trap again. He’s playing with us. I never thought I would be this worried about anything,” said Hu Yuexin. “What a joke!”
Her face darkened.
Smiling San Sheng was said to be unpredictable and ruthless, but he had not done anything yet.
“Indeed.” Feng Hua thought for a while and said, “Senior, you shouldn’t let him affect you too much.”
Hu Yuexin had thought about her own affairs, and she had nothing else that could be used to threaten her. After her mental barrier was broken, there was nothing more to care about.
Whether her people lived or died did not matter to her. As for whether those people would reveal their sect’s secrets, it was not that great of a deal as the mental barrier being broken.
Even if they talked, it wouldn’t affect the bigger goal. She had already obtained what she wanted.
The failure with the Grand Earth Emperor did not do much.
The two of them thought long and hard and realized that the time that had been set had long passed.
They were now certain that they had been played.
They heaved a sigh of relief and also felt a little humiliated.
It was shameful to be fooled by such a person.
“We have to find him. We can go to the Heavenly Note Sect when our people arrive. He must have left some clues behind,” Hu Yuexin said coldly.
She had never suffered such a loss before.
She had to find Smiling San Sheng. He was a threat to the Great Thousand God Sect.
They had to kill him.
Feng Hua was just about to chime in when Hu Yuexin suddenly froze.
Feng Hua was stunned as well.
A wave of spiritual energy alarmed them.
It connected with their Great Thousand Spirit.
Then, they received a message from the Great Thousand Spirit Core.
“The plan is about to succeed. The soul of the Holy Master has escaped. Drop everything and chase after it at all costs.”
The two people who heard the news were shocked. How could the Holy Master’s divine soul escape just like that?
It was impossible. There had been no incidents for so many years, so why would he be able to escape suddenly?
They felt that someone had manipulated the situation to target the Great Thousand Divine Sect.
Who could it be?
A thought rose in their minds.
Hu Yuexin’s eyes narrowed in disbelief.
It could not be!
If it was true, then the unintentional provocation in the South had caused such trouble for the Great Thousand Divine Sect?
Was Smiling San Sheng really not afraid of retaliation from the Great Thousand God Sect?
Was he really so reckless?
