“Boom!”
A loud sound echoed.
The divine peak shook, and the stone table beside the Sacred Lord of Yao Guang immediately turned to dust.
A violent, overwhelming force swept in all directions, like a mighty wave surging through the void, making everyone tremble with fear. The air was thick with danger, and anyone below the level of a Saint could feel their bodies shudder.
“Did Yang Qiu really say that?” The Sacred Lord of Yao Guang asked coldly.
“The news came from Tian Gang Sect...” Lin Ming shuddered. He couldn't bring himself to meet the Sacred Lord's gaze. He lowered his voice and said, “It should be true.”
“Good old Yang Qiu, and good old Nine Nether Demon Sect! What a bold claim!” The Sacred Lord sneered.
While he had been dealing with the Heavenly Machine Tower, the Grand Luo Sword Sect and the Heavenly Ying Dynasty had already ganged up on him—something he could tolerate since they had received favors from the Heavenly Machine Tower. But what was the Nine Nether Demon Sect doing?
Judging by the factions, they should be allies, right?
As a teammate, they stabbed him in the back?
“Tian Gang Sect is full of useless people?” The Sacred Lord snorted, his eyes flashing with killing intent as he spoke coldly. “They have a Saint-level formation, yet they let a Saint Lord-level Elder infiltrate their sect. What were the people in their sect doing?”
The Sacred Lord's anger flared. It wasn't just that Tian Gang Sect was incompetent, but the real issue was the Heaven Earth Creation Pill—this kind of pill could help someone become a Saint. Even Yao Guang Holy Land didn't have many of them.
He had generously given one away, and even though it didn't work, it was still acceptable. But to have it end up helping the enemy? That was infuriating.
“According to the Tian Gang Sect's Sect Master, Yang Qiu was able to enter and exit the mountain protection formation at will... He must have received guidance from the Heavenly Machine Tower's master...” Lin Ming weakly added.
“What??” The Sacred Lord of Yao Guang's heart skipped a beat, and his anger surged even more.
The Heavenly Machine Tower again!
He hadn't even gone to find trouble with them yet, and now they had already targeted him?
This was a vicious move—taking a Heaven Earth Creation Pill was one thing, but they also effectively crippled Tian Gang Sect. A sect without a Saint was useless to Yao Guang Holy Land.
And if that wasn't enough, the Heavenly Machine Tower's master had casually made them a new enemy!
The Nine Nether Demon Sect was no small force. Their reputation in the Demon Path was just as formidable as Yao Guang Holy Land, with an incredibly deep foundation. No one knew what kind of hidden cards they held.
“I'll pay a visit to the Heavenly Machine Tower personally. I want to see what makes their master so extraordinary!” The Sacred Lord spoke fiercely.
At this moment, he felt a sense of unease.
The fact that he had given away the Heaven Earth Creation Pill was not a secret, but the news hadn't spread to the Heavenly Machine Tower—at least, not yet.
Since it hadn't been passed on, it could only have been calculated by the Heavenly Machine Tower's master.
If he could predict the existence of the Heaven Earth Creation Pill, what about his own identity?
That, too, would likely be exposed.
The only reason his identity hadn't been revealed so far was likely because the Heavenly Machine Tower's master hadn't yet figured out the truth. If that day came, things would get very troublesome.
Only by watching the Heavenly Machine Tower fall could he truly relax.
“Master!”
Leng Qianqiu, who had been silent until now, spoke up. He said indifferently, “Right now, the most important thing isn't the Heavenly Machine Tower, it's Yang Qiu. He took the Heaven Earth Creation Pill and became a Saint right in front of everyone at Tian Gang Sect.”
“If we, Yao Guang Holy Land, don't take action, the world will think we are weak and look down on our name!”
“Cold Sect Leader is right.” The Sacred Lord's footsteps paused, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He realized he had acted too impulsively.
He had only been thinking about the consequences of his identity being exposed and not about Yang Qiu.
This was not the reaction one would expect from a Sacred Lord. As the Sacred Lord of Yao Guang, he should have first considered maintaining the dignity of Yao Guang Holy Land, not pressuring the Heavenly Machine Tower.
“Then I'll trouble Cold Sect Leader to take another trip. With your strength, killing a newly ascended Saint like Yang Qiu should be no problem.” The Sacred Lord said.
He glanced at Leng Qianqiu's face, feeling slightly relieved. He had been overly emotional earlier, but it shouldn't raise any suspicion in Leng Qianqiu After all, Yao Guang Holy Land had been thriving under his leadership, and his contributions were significant.
Of course, Yao Guang Holy Land had also made many enemies under his leadership. But, so far, he'd weathered the storm.
“Very well.”Leng Qianqiu thought for a moment and then spoke, “I'll go.”
Once his words fell, Leng Qianqiu's figure vanished.
“Lin Elder, you may leave as well.”
After sending off Leng Qianqiu, the Sacred Lord of Yao Guang waved his hand.
“Yes, I take my leave.” Lin Ming cupped his hands and turned to leave.
Once Lin Ming was gone, a figure cloaked in black appeared out of nowhere in the void. As soon as the figure appeared, it spoke.
“You were too impulsive just now.”
“If it were you, would you have been more composed?” The Sacred Lord of Yao Guang's voice was ice-cold as he replied, “With someone as mysterious as the Heavenly Machine Tower's master, who can say what else he might have figured out?”
“Time is of the essence...” The Sacred Lord stood with his hands behind his back, his voice grave. “You go handle the Nine Nether Demon Sect's matter. I'll deal with the Heavenly Machine Tower!”
“Very well.” The black-cloaked figure nodded after a moment's thought.
And with that, the figure disappeared with the wind.
