“In just a few days, the name of the Heavenly Mechanism Tower's master has spread across several states. Seeing him today, I can confirm that the rumors were true.”
Cheng Wugou wore a smile on his face, but a shadow flickered in his eyes. He had been momentarily caught off guard, and no one, especially a Saint, would look good after being stumped.
Even if he was a false Saint, he was still a Saint!
He was far superior to a Saint Lord in strength!
“My junior brother and I have long admired the Tower Master's reputation, so we traveled over billions of miles to pay our respects.”
Cheng Wugou spoke with sincerity.
If there had been anyone unfamiliar with the situation, they might have been fooled by his heartfelt performance.
“Is that so?”
Li Yun smiled faintly, his eyes cold as he glanced at the two. Slowly, he spoke, “Perhaps it's not just a visit... but also an attempt to take someone?”
“Hm?”
Upon hearing this, both Cheng Wugou and Shen Feng frowned, their gazes meeting with a flash of confusion in their eyes.
After a brief moment, they composed themselves, both surprised that the Heavenly Mechanism Tower's master had indeed seen through their intentions.
Although they had been seen through, neither of them would admit it openly.
Cheng Wugou chuckled awkwardly, then said in a low voice, “Tower Master, you jest. As a righteous sect, Tian Gang Sect would never resort to such underhanded tactics.”
“Indeed.”
At this, Shen Feng also spoke, “We have merely come to invite the Tower Master to visit Yao Guang Sacred Land. We kindly ask you not to make this difficult for us.”
“Heh.”
Li Yun sneered.
Go to Yao Guang Sacred Land?
What a joke!
Although the amount of Heavenly Mechanism secrets he had revealed was not vast, it was still significant. Many timelines had already been disrupted—the people who should have died, were dead, while those who shouldn't have, were gone.
He didn't know how much Heavenly Punishment power had accumulated around him.
The moment he stepped outside the Heavenly Mechanism Tower, there was a good chance a Heavenly Thunder would strike down upon him.
Now was not the time to leave; that would be courting death.
“What do you mean by that, Tower Master?”
Cheng Wugou furrowed his brows, suppressing the anger in his chest as he spoke again, “The Yao Guang Saint Lord is a once-in-an-era genius with the potential to become an Emperor. Upon hearing rumors about you, he wanted to meet with you.”
“Such an opportunity is rare, and many people wish to meet the Yao Guang Saint Lord but cannot. Is the Tower Master truly going to waste this chance?”
“The Yao Guang Saint Lord?”
Li Yun scoffed, speaking dismissively, “But isn't he still not an Emperor?”
This world had no shortage of people with the potential to become Emperors.
In another world, there was someone with the same Emperor-level potential, someone whose father had openly admitted it. And in the end?
Wasn't he still dead, in the most predictable way possible?
Typically, characters like the Yao Guang Saint Lord, with their domineering personalities and strong personas, were nothing but stepping stones for the protagonist. The only problem was, Li Yun still didn't know who the protagonist of this world was.
Once he did, he would definitely push from behind.
He'd show Yao Guang Saint Lord what true human malice looked like!
“Are you implying that you are belittling Yao Guang Sacred Land?”
Cheng Wugou's tone turned icy.
Yao Guang Sacred Land was the backing of their Tian Gang Sect. If their protector was insulted, it was natural for the underlings to roll up their sleeves and prepare for a fight.
After all, if anything happened, Yao Guang Sacred Land would back them up.
“Well...”
Li Yun pondered for a moment before replying, “If you two choose to understand it that way, then I suppose I can't stop you.”
“Since that's the case, then there's nothing more to say.”
Cheng Wugou snapped his folding fan open with a flick.
He glanced around at the Heavenly Mechanism Tower. He had sensed something was off before entering, fearing it might be a killing formation or a trapping array.
But now, seeing no immediate signs of danger, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Cheng Wugou turned around, his eyes landing on Li Yun. In his eyes, the Tower Master appeared to be an ordinary person, with no signs of cultivation whatsoever.
At first, this had startled him, but upon closer inspection, it seemed that this was not the case.
The Heavenly Mechanism Tower Master was a master of deducing the Heavenly Mechanism. His entire focus was likely on that, so how high could his cultivation be?
It was probably just a powerful aura-suppressing technique.
Cheng Wugou coldly spoke, “Since you, Tower Master, don't want to come with us, then we'll have to take matters into our own hands and force you to come with us!”
With Yao Guang Sacred Land backing him, Cheng Wugou was undeterred.
Even if the Heavenly Mechanism Tower Master turned out to be more powerful than expected—maybe even a Saint King or a Great Saint—so what?
Could he defeat them both and still dare to kill them?
Behind him stood Yao Guang Sacred Land, with a Pre-Emperor, an Imperial Weapon, and the Yao Guang Saint Lord, who might very well become an Emperor!
The smarter one was, the more they understood the stakes and tread carefully.
Especially when dealing with someone like the Heavenly Mechanism Tower Master, who could see the future.
He should understand the consequences of offending Yao Guang Sacred Land.
“Junior Brother, take action. Please bring this Tower Master with us.”
Cheng Wugou said calmly.
As his words fell,
There was no response.
“Junior Brother, why haven't you made a move?”
Cheng Wugou asked, his patience thinning.
Still, there was no movement.
“Junior Brother??”
Cheng Wugou turned in confusion, his gaze falling on Shen Feng. He noticed that Shen Feng's face had turned deathly pale, his forehead beaded with cold sweat, his lips trembling as he stood motionless.
When Shen Feng met Cheng Wugou's gaze, panic flickered in his eyes. With great difficulty, he squeezed out a few words.
“Senior Brother, we... are finished!”
