Chapter 3294: Pay With Blood
After Uncle Feng left, Su Zimo sat quietly in deep thought.
Even now, he did not fully trust Uncle Feng.
After all, he had encountered the Sect Master of the Academy in the medium chiliocosm back then. Naturally, he was wary of strangers who suddenly appeared.
Back when he joined the Heaven and Earth Academy, he had sensed something unusual. That was why he gradually became wary of the Sect Master of the Academy.
However, as of now, no matter how he thought over things, he could not find anything wrong with Uncle Feng.
If there was anything, it would be that Uncle Feng was too good to him.
Uncle Feng treated him with such kindness but asked for nothing in return.
His Creation Green Lotus alone caused the Saint race of the four Sanctuaries to appear and want to fight for it.
However, Uncle Feng wanted to give up the Merits Gold Lotus and was even willing to give him a chance to fight for it!
Of course, be it the Creation Green Lotus or the Merits Gold Lotus, they would not be of much use to Dao Hegemony realm experts.
What Dao Hegemony realm experts had to cultivate was how to better control the Great Dao and control the power of it.
The Creation Green Lotus and Merits Gold Lotus would not provide much help in this aspect.
However, for Heavenly Supremacies at the Dao Comprehension realm, especially those who cultivated the Vitality, Wood or Gold Great Daos, the Creation Green Lotus and Merits Gold Lotus could help them comprehend those Great Daos better.
Since Su Zimo could not find anything amiss, he put this matter aside for the time being.
Right now, he could only take things one step at a time. To him, the most important thing was to obtain the Merits Gold Lotus.
…
Ancestral Fire Sanctuary.
In the Vermilion Bird Hall.
The Saint race of the Ancestral Fire Sanctuary, Utmost Heavenly Supremacy Zhu Liang, sat on the main seat. The Saint race of the four Sanctuaries sat on both sides of the hall and chatted happily.
“The few of us have not seen each other for many years and it’s rare for us to meet. To think that it’s because of a Creation Green Lotus.”
Zhu Liang chuckled.
“This Creation Green Lotus is not of much use to my cultivation. However, my Dao Companion can use it for the Great Dao she cultivates.”
The man who spoke had long black hair and bright eyes. His breathing was long and steady—he was Fu Cangtian from the Yin Yang Sanctuary.
“I’m determined to get the Creation Green Lotus!”
A green-robed woman spoke slowly with an unquestionable tone.
There were two horns on the woman’s head. As she looked around, a green light flashed with an oppressive coldness from her gaze. She was Qing Yan from the Divine Punishment Sanctuary.
“Fufu, there’s no need to argue now. We can fight for the Creation Green Lotus after we obtain it.”
A golden-haired man said with a smile.
This person had sharp brows and starry eyes. His eyes seemed to contain the primordial era of the universe and he had a warm smile—it was Xie Lin of the s.p.a.ce Time Sanctuary.
Zhu Liang smiled. “The Creation Green Lotus came to our Ancestral Fire Sanctuary, it’s practically right under our noses. Even I’m tempted after everything you guys said.”
Among the five of them, a burly man had his eyes closed the entire time. He was expressionless, motionless and silent like a stone statue—it was Lie Huo from the Nirvana Sanctuary.
Right then, the sound of clothes fluttering could be heard from outside the hall.
Immediately after, two figures barged into the hall with ugly expressions. Their breathing even emitted a hint of blood—it was clear that they were injured!
The two of them were the two servants of the Saint race who had just escaped death from Su Zimo.
“What’s going on?”
Qing Yan of the Divine Punishment Sanctuary asked coldly.
“Where’s Yue Xuan?”
When Fu Cangtian of the Yin Yang Sanctuary saw that only two people had returned, he could not help but frown and ask.
Xie Lin of the s.p.a.ce Time Sanctuary looked over with a smile as well.
“Master.”
The servant of the Yin Yang Sanctuary knelt on the ground hurriedly and hesitated for a moment before saying, “We… failed.”
“Hmm?”
Apart from Lie Huo of the Nirvana Sanctuary, the expressions of the other four from the Saint race changed slightly.
Four people from the Sanctuaries attacked and they were all Utmost Heavenly Supremacy. How could they fail against a lesser mastery Dao Comprehension realm Heavenly Supremacy?
“Did he have any other helpers?”
Xie Lin asked.
“Never.”
A servant lowered his head. “This person’s physique and bloodline are terrifyingly strong. Furthermore, we were caught off guard when he suddenly attacked…”
“Answer me, where’s Yue Xuan?!”
Fu Cangtian of the Yin Yang Sanctuary hollered and asked again.
“H-He’s dead.”
A servant said, “That Fellow Daoist of the Nirvana Sanctuary was killed by this person as well.”
When he heard that, Lie Huo of the Nirvana Sanctuary suddenly opened his eyes. They were bloodshot and burned with two b.a.l.l.s of scorching flames!
The moment he opened his eyes, the temperature of the entire hall rose!
When the other three from the Saint race heard that, their expressions darkened.
Four people from the Sanctuaries went to capture him but two of them were killed and the remaining two returned with injuries!
A servant glanced at Zhu Liang who was sitting on the main seat and said in a low voice, “Commander Chen of the Ancestral Fire Sanctuary wanted to capture and suppress this person. However, he was stopped by Dao Supremacy Ning Yan of the Ancestral Fire Sanctuary who allowed the person to leave. Helpless, we could only return to report first.”
“Where did he go?”
Fu Cangtian asked hurriedly.
“He’s still in the Ancestral Fire Sanctuary.”
The servant replied.
The four from the Saint race heaved a sigh of relief.
As long as he was around, he would not be able to escape from their hands!
The four from the Saint race pondered, lost in their own thoughts.
The reaction of the Ancestral Fire Sanctuary was a little strange.
Although the Ancestral Fire Sanctuary had rules and order, the four of them were from the other Sanctuaries after all. On account of their relations.h.i.+p, the Ancestral Fire Sanctuary should be biased towards them.
However, the Dao Supremacy of the Ancestral Fire Sanctuary appeared and let this person off.
Could it be that the Ancestral Fire Sanctuary was greedy and wanted to take the Creation Green Lotus for themselves? However, they did not want to s.n.a.t.c.h it in public because they wanted to protect their dignity?
Earlier on, Zhu Liang might not have been joking when he said that he was tempted by the Creation Green Lotus!
Xie Lin stood up and smiled. “Brother Zhu, since your Ancestral Fire Sanctuary wants to get their hands on the Creation Green Lotus as well, let’s set a rule first.”
“The Creation Green Lotus will belong to whoever wins the Heavenly Supremacies Battle and obtains the t.i.tle of the Peerless Heavenly Supremacy. No one else can fight for it. How about that?”
“Dao Supremacy Ning Yan is not under me.”
Zhu Liang shook his head gently. “I can’t give him orders either.”
“Brother Zhu, there’s no need to explain.”
Fu Cangtian said coldly, “If you don’t want to partic.i.p.ate in the fight, it’ll be the four of us fighting for the t.i.tle of the Peerless Heavenly Supremacy. At that time, I shall need the Ancestral Fire Sanctuary to hand over the culprit who killed my servant and let us deal with him!”
“This request isn’t too much, right?”
Zhu Liang pondered in silence.
Suddenly, Lie Huo of the Nirvana Sanctuary said slowly, “Those who kill people of our Nirvana Sanctuary must pay with their blood!”
At that point, the four people from the Saint race did not say anything else and stood up to leave.
“Dao Supremacy Ning Yan…”
Zhu Liang frowned slightly and instructed his servant, “Go and investigate where the Creation Green Lotus is staying in the Sanctuary.”
“Understood.”
In a flash, the servant disappeared from the hall.
Before long, the servant returned and gave an address. “Master, should I send someone to restrain this person first?”
“That’s a place I can’t even touch. How can you enter?”
When Zhu Liang heard the address, he was shocked and berated hurriedly with a dark expression in deep thought.
