Chapter 5337: Conflict
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Beishan City.
The current Beishan City, if it can be called a city at all, is more like a ruin.
Moreover, its a frozen ruin, trapping Emperors, Dao Lords, and even weaker
Yan Immortals who failed to retreat in time.
For mighty Emperors, this is just a ruin, but for those Dao Lords, its a future ancient relic.
The aura surging above is so precious, and the treasures buried underground are even more enticing.
However, these are tales for another time. In the future of Beishan City, there wont be a Beishan City or Guangmu Tianzun.
After this battle, Guangmu is preparing to settle in the White Tiger Hall, thoroughly investigating the rebellion.
Many epochs of sedimentation have caused many to forget his name. Its time for him to step out again. For countless years, he has not taken that step. Perhaps taking it now could lead to a breakthrough.
Although there arent any immensely powerful inheritances for him to cultivate in the Qishen Temple, theres still a change in his mental state.
Brother Guangmu, with your joining, the White Tiger Temple will surely be great again! Bai Yi expressed joy.
Even though they let Bai Junwang escape this time, its still a great harvest to have Guangmu reappear. Not counting it as a loss.
It would have been even better if they hadnt used that treasure.
Guangmu reveals a trace of embarrassment and says in a deep voice, Bai Yi, I disappointed you this time. I couldnt take down that guy. I had planned to use his head as the first gift to present to the White Tiger Temple.
Initially, that was his intention. However, he didnt expect that the Four Great Secret Realms now are a gathering of extraordinary talents. Some ancient beings that refuse to die have all emerged. As a peak powerhouse, his first battle after returning turned out to be so disgraceful, which is indeed somewhat embarrassing.
Bai Yi mentioned that the core of the current White Tiger Temple consists mostly of newly risen Emperors. As an old powerhouse, coming back without displaying some strength is somewhat embarrassing in front of the younger generation.
Glancing at the black-robed Emperors, his expression changed.
You all go back first. This matter must not be leaked! Bai Yis face showed a slight change, and his voice carried authority.
The black-robed Emperors in the distance immediately took their leave upon receiving the order.
With the teleportation array destroyed, they could only head to other major regions.
White was about to speak to Guangmu when he noticed a light dot flashing in the distant sky, followed by a thunderous rush.
The newcomer was the true form of Wu Zuo.
Having regained his strength, his combat power was not inferior to the major hall masters. Now, he even presided over the Elder Palace, exuding the demeanor of a superior. When he looked at Bai Yi, there was no trace of the previous respect.
Where is he?
Guangmu used to be the Envoy of Qishen, and his relationship with Wu Zuo was just average. His status was not low among these named disciples.
Seeing the others attitude of questioning and accusing, Guangmu coldly snorted.
Wu Zuo, mind your words. 1 came out of seclusion to assist Brother Bai Yi, not to do your bidding!
This wasnt a favor Bai Yi owed Guangmu; it was indeed the case.
He couldnt just say they were both useless and let someone run away!
No matter the excuse, it couldnt be put that way.
Unless the other party was the Universe Master!
Wu Zuos facial muscles twitched; he realized he had been too arrogant. He immediately softened his tone and said, Brother Guangmu, its a great event for you to come out. If it were for something else, I wouldnt pursue it. But this time, its an order from Zhen Ling to save Jian Wushuangs life.
Though his tone became more polite, the threat in his words lingered.
Bai Yi was not buying into this. What he currently detested the most was others using Zhen Ling to suppress him. In anger, he retorted, Humph, its Zhen Ling giving you orders, not us!
Even though the person had escaped from their hands, it wasnt fair to blame it all on them!
What about Wu zuo?
Allowing a Divine Craftsman to follow Jian Wushuang, what kind of strength did he have?
Let alone the peak, even a tier 6 Emperor could easily take Jian Wushuangs life.
Blaming them for not protecting him well was unjust. Their Heavenly Temples Master had already fallen.
What was Jian Wushuang in the grand scheme of things? Did they think everyone could reach the pinnacle of the Ultimate Dao?
If that were the case, they might as well offer up those Ultimate Dao Lords as ancestors to be worshipped!
Temple Master Bai Yi, your words are uncalled for. Although Zhen Ling has granted the Northern Region to the Elder Palace, dont forget who you are fighting for! At this point, Wu Zuo also joined in, getting fired up as he continued loudly, You, White Tiger Temple, cant even stop a tier 6 Emperor! Both sides were becoming increasingly furious. It was clear that negotiations were futile. Bai Yi also realized that Wu Zuo lacked the courage to take responsibility for this mess. The only option left was another battle.
Boom!
Wu Zuo manifested his true form, filled with confidence. Todays fight might force Zhen Ling to intervene, or else he would be too embarrassed to face Zhen Ling.
Previously, Guangmu had somewhat listened to reason, but seeing Wu Zuo!s actions, he couldnt hold back any longer, given his explosive temperament. Dare you make a move? Wu Zuos face twisted in a menacing manner, absorbing Guangmus aura directly.
He didnt actually attack; it was just a display of intimidating pressure.
However, at this point, avoiding a battle was no longer an option. This wasnt an exaggeration; it was a long-planned move.
Guangmu Tianzun had been persuaded by Bai Yi with great difficulty.
He couldnt just stand by and watch. He immediately joined the fray. Some Emperors who hadnt fled far yet, noticing another large-scale battle behind them, were terrified and accelerated, not daring to look back.
In the void, a faint figure appeared, and Zhen Ling had arrived.
Gazing at the ruins, as time rewound and the events unfolded, Zhen Ling understood what had happened. Without even a glance at them, he walked away.
Wu Zuos strength surpassed Bai Junwangs by far. If he truly went all out, Bai Yi e s current avatar and Guangmu were no match.
Despite the apparent commotion, both sides were actually holding back, and this conflict was a show for Zhen Ling.
But Zhen Ling couldnt be bothered to watch.
External pressures, internal turmoil.
Zhen Lings job was indeed not easy. He directly concealed his figure, leaving only a trace of his presence to convey the message that he had come and that was sufficient.
Jian Wushuang was indeed crucial. Since discovering the underlying reasons, Zhen Ling treated him with special regard, even giving him the personal belonging of Qishen.
Now, facing such a fate.
Time and destiny.
There was nothing more to be said. The timeline couldnt be examined, and keeping him around would only be a nuisance. If he fell, so be it. Zhen Ling had done well enough.
The entity in the starry sky probably wouldnt pursue him.
Moreover, Jian Wushuang might not have any connection with that entity; perhaps he was just overthinking things.
However, after losing an Ultimate Dao Lord, Zhen Ling would never make such a mistake again.
Though achieving the ultimate harmony was difficult, it was formidable when done collectively!
Over a thousand Ultimate existences.
As long as even ten percent succeeded in the Ultimate Dao Merge, there would be over a hundred Ultimate Emperors.
Among these individuals, as long as one reached the pinnacle and ascended to the Universe Master, they could resolve the crisis in the primordial universe, eliminate the true master, and understand the karma left behind in the beginning..
