Chapter 6077: His Plan
Beneath Baili Zilin’s humble exterior was a heart bursting with delight. He, too, understood the significance of the altar.
All the important figures suddenly stood up and looked in the direction where they came from. Baili Zilin looked over too.
An army of people so huge that they looked like locusts had appeared on the horizon. They were all experts from the Netherworld Sect, and they were rus.h.i.+ng over to witness this historic moment of the Netherworld Sect.
The person leading the pack commanded respect from not just Baili Zilin but the surrounding powerful figures too. His ident.i.ty towered above everyone else. He was neither a Netherworld Envoy nor a Netherworld General; he was a Netherworld Marshal.
There were countless people in the Netherworld Sect, but there were no more than a handful of Netherworld Marshals. These were all incredibly powerful individuals in the Netherworld Sect.
“Red clouds phenomenon; is this young master Zilin’s doing?” the Netherworld Marshal spoke with an exaggerated tone and gesture.
However, no one thought that he was being excessive, as this sight was simply that shocking. They, too, were shaken.
“Lord Qianzhou, this is the phenomenon triggered by young master Zilin,” one of the first ones to arrive here said.
“Young master Zilin is indeed the hope of our Netherworld Sect. Those from the conservative faction opposed us activating the Netherworld Embryo G.o.d Summoning Altar, but now... their cheeks must be hurting. Hahahaha!” The Netherworld Marshal burst into laughter.
This Netherworld Marshal was Jimo Qianzhou. He was both a part of the new faction and the aide of Zilin’s father. He was the one who had led the experts of the new faction to hunt down Xianhai Yu’er.
He rushed here as soon as he noticed the phenomenon and saw that Baili Zilin was the one who had triggered it, but he didn’t reveal himself right away. Instead, he returned outside to gather the Netherworld Sectmembers.
He wanted as many people as possible to witness this sight to reinforce Baili Zilin’s standing.
Following that, he revealed the true purpose of the Netherworld Embryo G.o.d Summoning Altar, which induced gooseb.u.mps in everyone’s arms. This made the crowd see Baili Zilin in a different light.
The Netherworld Sect held onto their faith. They believed what they did was right, and that the Netherworld Sect was the hope of the world of cultivation.
Thus, when they learned that Baili Zilin would bring the Netherworld Sect to greater heights, the latter’s halo became even brighter than before.
Following that, the Netherworld Sectmembers slowly dispersed. They were usually not allowed in this forbidden land in the first place, and they were only able to enter because Jimo Qianzhou allowed them in.
Jimo Qianzhou brought Baili Zilin to a fog-shrouded lake in the same realm, but this fog was not white but red.
At the center of the lake was a gazebo. Jimo Qianzhou formed a hand seal, and red runes surfaced on the gazebo.
This lake, made out of countless treasures, was a place for healing. Baili Zilin sat in the gazebo, allowing the healing energy to flow into his body.
Jimo Qianzhou stood outside the gazebo. He took off his veil, revealing his true face. He was a middle-aged man with a darker skin tone. He had an ordinary appearance devoid of disposition. In terms of looks, Baili Zilin looked like a n.o.ble, whereas he looked like Baili Zilin’s servant.
Jimo Qianzhou’s standing was much higher than Baili Zilin, but because he was the aide of Baili Zilin’s father, Baili Zilin didn’t bother hiding his true personality in front of him and acted like a young master whenever they were alone. Baili Zilin wouldn’t go overboard, but he wouldn’t act all respectful to the Netherworld Marshal either.
“Congratulations, young master Zilin. No one will doubt your standing in the Netherworld Sect. anymore. Neither Chen Hui nor Song Yun is worth anything before you. You are indisputably the strongest prodigy of the Netherworld Sect, as well as the future of the Netherworld Sect,” Jimo Qianzhou said with heated eyes.
He might be the aide of Baili Zilin’s father, but he had his faith too. There had been a subtle change in how he viewed Baili Zilin.
He had helped Baili Zilin thus far because of his father, but from this day onward, even if not for Baili Zilin’s father, he would still be willing to put his life on the line for Baili Zilin.
“No one in the new faction will doubt me anymore, but what about the few who have never shown themselves in the conservative faction?” Baili Zilin asked.
“The upper echelons of the Netherworld Sect know the significance of the Netherworld Embryo G.o.d Summoning Altar. They will support us. It doesn’t matter whether the conservative faction wishes to groom Chen Hui and Song Yun or not. As long as we have the support of those lords, the conservative faction has no choice but to support us,” Jimo Qianzhou said.
“I don’t want to force others to submit to me. My father has made many sacrifices for me. I’ll live up to his expectations. They refuse to submit to me because they still harbor hope in Chen Hui, so it’s still important for me to prove that I’m the strongest prodigy.
“I will defeat not just Chen Hui but Chu Feng too. I’ll become the indisputable number one talent in the world of cultivation as a junior! That will make me much more of a legendary figure when I eventually conquer the world of cultivation!” Baili Zilin said.
“Young master Zilin, you intend to...” Jimo Qianzhou asked.
“I heard that Jie Tianran and the other experts of the Ancient Era’s races are trapped in G.o.d’s Era and are unable to leave just yet. This makes it the perfect opportunity for me to make my name.”
“Young master Zilin, you wish to appear before the world in your capacity as the young master of the Netherworld Sect?”
“Yes, I’ll first defeat Chen Hui before crus.h.i.+ng Chu Feng in public. No one will doubt my strength once I achieve those two feats, and I’ll gain legitimacy,” Baili Zilin said.
