Chapter 6078: The Netherworld Sects Fear
Jimo Qianzhou fell silent after hearing Baili Zilins words.
Even their operation to capture Xianhai Yuer had been discreet, but Baili Zilin wanted to stand before the world openly. That put him in a spot. This was not a matter he could call the shots on.
Those higher ranking than him happened to be in closed-door training, and he had no idea where they were. He couldnt seek their permission even if he wanted to.
And those lords had issued an order before they went into closed-door training, instructing the sectmembers to lie low and not to do anything overboard other than finding prodigies to plant Netherworld Embryos in.
Baili Zilins desire to appear in public at this juncture was in defiance of those lords order.
Uncle Qianzhou, are you unwilling to help me too? Baili Zilin asked.
Young master Zilin, I support you, but this matter has grave consequences. We have to seek permission from milord. If milord agrees, well go ahead even if those from the conservative faction oppose.
Jimo Qianzhou had made it clear that as long as Baili Zilins father was agreeable to it, he was willing to take the risk for Baili Zilin.
But Baili Zilin wasnt satisfied with the answer. Uncle Qianzhou, my father has gone into closed-door training, and he wont emerge from his closed-door training until he makes a breakthrough, so we have no idea when hell be out. But I dont want to wait anymore.
The world already knows about our Netherworld Sect, and the Seven Realms Sacred Mansions Jie Tianran isnt around. Is there any power in the world of cultivation that can stop our Netherworld Sect at this juncture? I only want the world to know about me. Is that such a difficult request?
Young master Zilin, the ones that our Netherworld Sect fears the most are the Ancient Eras clans. Many years ago, while your mother was expecting you, your father and those few lords once encountered a mysterious expert inside a remnant.
That expert was extremely powerful, such that your father and those few lords werent a match despite teaming up against him. They only survived the encounter using the treasure left behind by Lord Netherworld Master.
Baili Zilin was intrigued. It was his first time hearing about this. Whos that person? Is he from the Ancient Eras clans?
Those lords from the neutral faction were unfathomably powerful, and his father, despite only rising through the ranks later, contributed greatly to the Netherworld Sects fighting prowess too.
All in all, the Netherworld Sect was extremely powerful, towering above all the galaxy overlords. That was the reason Baili Zilin thought that the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion was not a threat. He couldnt understand why the Netherworld Sect hadnt unified the world of cultivation.
Yet, he learned today that someone had defeated those few lords and his father.
This shattered his common sense.
That person didnt reveal his face. His martial power also doesnt fit into any sects or clans in the present-day world of cultivation, which is why those lords guessed that he might be from the Ancient Eras clans, Jimo Qianzhou replied.
Are the Ancient Eras clans that powerful? Baili Zilin was taken aback.
We still have no idea the extent of what the Ancient Eras clans are capable of, but we can safely say that even though the Ancient Eras clans we have seen thus far appear strong, they are far from representative of what the Ancient Eras clans are truly capable of.
Bloodshed will be inevitable in this era, especially with the emergence of Gods Era.
So far, our Netherworld Sect hasnt involved itself in worldly conflicts because we know that no one can rival us once we achieve our goals. But now, theres no guarantee that we can live in peace even if we try to steer clear of conflict.
It isnt just recently that the world views our Netherworld Sect as an unorthodox power. The only reason we have remained safe and sound thus far is due to our strength. Without strength that inspires fear in others, someone is bound to make a move against us under the hypocritical name of justice.
Jie Tianran is capable of doing that. He has been hiding his strength, though its unlikely that hes strong enough to shake the position of our Netherworld Sect yet, else he would have made a move on us by now. Still, its unnerving that he is performing better than the other juniors in Gods Era. He looks to be the most likely one to obtain the power of Gods Era following Chu Fengs departure. If he gains sufficient power, he might make a move on us.
Similarly, the mysterious expert from the Ancient Eras clans pose a threat to us too.
Thats why your father and those lords from the neutral faction went into closed-door training at this juncture. Its not just to further their strength but also to ensure that our Netherworld Sect has the ability to protect itself and survive in this world, Jimo Qianzhou said grimly.
The current circumstances unnerved him too.
Baili Zilin didnt say a word, but his gaze hinted at his reluctance to give up. Jimo Qianzhous words had been in vain.
Zilin, the lords are in closed-door training. Im worried that Id fail to protect you if something happens, Jimo Qianzhou said.
Uncle Qianzhou, arent you already at Heavenly God level? Whats there to fear from a mere Chu Feng? Baili Zilin asked.
Young master Zilin, I dont think you get what Im saying. What I fear is not Chu Feng or the powers you see on the surface right now. Im worried that the Ancient Eras clans might have powerhouses who didnt enter Gods Era.
We will remain safe as long as we remain in the shadows, but well be exposed to danger if we choose to reveal ourselves, Jimo Qianzhou said.
Just like Chu Feng? Baili Zilin suddenly asked.
Jimo Qianzhou was initially taken aback, but he soon nodded. Thats right.
But Chu Feng is still alive. If he can do it, why cant I? Baili Zilin asked.
Thats not what I mean, young master Zilin. I cant call the shots on this matter. Jimo Qianzhou was put in a spot.
My mind is made up. Unless Uncle Qianzhou stops me, Ill stand in front of the world and prove myself to them, Baili Zilin said before closing his eyes to focus on his recuperation.
Haaa! Jimo Qianzhou shook his head helplessly.
He wouldnt stop Baili Zilin, but he was also worried that a mishap would befall the latter.
Milord! a Netherworld General suddenly called out.
Jimo Qianzhou was in a bad mood. He might not be able to vent his anger on Baili Zilin, but he could most definitely vent his anger on a Netherworld General. But before he could speak, the latter revealed a shocking piece of news.
Something has happened to the Undying Starfield!
Jimo Qianzhou was startled. Baili Zilin opened his eyes and stood up.
