- Chapter 23.1: The Arrival of the Elder from Luo Heaven Sect - The North is About to Change
Upon hearing the guard’s report, Emperor Wu Feiyang of Moro Kingdom was momentarily taken aback. Soon, he realized that this unexpected visit signified trouble. Luo Heaven Sect must have already received news of the chief disciple and elder’s demise!
“Invite him in,” Wu Feiyang swiftly composed himself and instructed the guard.
However, before the guard could leave, a figure sauntered into the hall unceremoniously.
“No need,” said the visitor. “This old man entered the palace without permission. I hope Your Majesty won’t take offense.”
The visitor was none other than the Second Elder of Luo Heaven Sect, dressed in Daoist robes and wearing a kindly expression, speaking in a courteous manner.
Yet, Emperor Wu Feiyang wasn’t foolish enough to believe the elder was genuinely apologizing.
“Elder, you are being too humble. When an esteemed elder like yourself visits, it is only right for me, the Emperor, to welcome you personally. I must have been impolite,” Emperor Wu Feiyang replied politely.
As Wu Feiyang spoke, he made a slight gesture to dismiss all the people present. Under the eaves, one had no choice but to bow their head.
As long as Luo Heaven Sect existed, Emperor Wu Feiyang of Moro Kingdom had no option but to comply with their demands. After all, he lacked the might and strength of others, particularly in terms of physical power.
Of course, he meant that in terms of physical strength.
“I presume Your Majesty can already guess my purpose here,” said the Second Elder. His smile remained unchanged as he casually found a spot to sit, behaving as though he were the master of the place.
“I’ve guessed a little. Is the Second Elder here to investigate the incident concerning the death of the chief disciple and two elders?”
Wu Feiyang continued, but the Second Elder didn’t respond. Instead, he looked at him with a smile, indicating that he wanted to hear more.
As the Emperor, others usually tried to fathom his thoughts, but every time he faced someone from Luo Heaven Sect, he could only speculate about their intentions. This feeling left Wu Feiyang quite dissatisfied, yet he had no other choice.
At this moment, he wished Leng Yanran could take action half a month earlier and destroy Luo Heaven Sect today, without leaving a single survivor!
However reluctant he felt, he could only plaster a smiling face and recount in detail the recent events that occurred within the capital.
Initially, the Second Elder maintained a smile, but as he heard about Leng Yanran using her divine ability from a jade pendant to kill one of the elders, he furrowed his brows.
And when he heard about the sudden appearance of the three-thousand-zhang Sky Monument that instantly obliterated the Third Elder just as he was about to annihilate the Leng Family, the Second Elder’s face grew even darker.
At first, he thought the two elders encountered experts from other sects or independent cultivators within Moro Kingdom or even beyond the Northern Region. He had considered various possibilities. But now, it seemed that his speculations were completely off the mark.
Instead, it was a seemingly insignificant family from Moro Kingdom that killed the chief disciple, Zhang Tianze, and two Unity Realm elders, with one of them being at the peak of the Ninth Heaven of the Unity Realm?
As far as he knew, the highest realm in Moro Kingdom was Wu Feiyang before him, who was only at the Fifth Heaven of the Unity Realm.
The so-called four major families didn’t even have anyone at the Unity Realm, let alone killing two elders. The problem lay with that jade pendant and Leng Yanran!
Regarding Emperor Wu Feiyang’s words, the Second Elder had no doubts. He believed that the Emperor wouldn’t dare deceive him.
For a moment, he was uncertain about how to proceed.
Logically, a mere small family within Moro Kingdom could be annihilated with just a wave of his hand. However, the fact that the Third Elder, who was also at the peak of the Ninth Heaven of the Unity Realm, fell prey to Leng Yanran’s methods made him unwilling to wager his own life against her might.
“What is your assessment of the strength behind that strike from the Sky Monument?” After a moment of contemplation, the Second Elder asked.
