208: Three holy sons! Before them, who else could be called a prodigy?
Northern Wasteland!
A world shrouded in darkness, where thunder rages and earth fire spreads. No Cultivator who enters this Domain can ever leave.
For tens of thousands of years, no one has entered here.
After all, no one would willingly seek death.
This world has existed for an unknown number of years. It is a crimson expanse, covered only by a dim moonlight, its size unknown!
It is precisely the ancestral land of the Holy Heaven Demon Sect, one of the two supreme Sects of the Northern Wasteland!
On the majestic mountain range, floating peaks are suspended, nurturing the mountains with the Qi of the earth, constructing grand and enormous halls!
Yinyue Peak belongs to the lineage of Qiu Nian, one of the eight Grand Elders of the Holy Heaven Demon Sect's inner Sect.
Such peaks are not uncommon in the Holy Heaven Demon Sect. Besides the eight Grand Elders of the inner Sect, the inner Sect's Saint Teachers, Protectors, and Divine Generals, who are core high-ranking members, also possess one.
All the Cultivators of Qiu Nian's lineage practice on this massive floating mountain.
Without a Sect decree, Cultivators from various peaks within the Sect all Cultivate independently, rarely interacting.
But today, Yinyue Peak welcomed two highly esteemed guests!
Outside the main hall!
A handsome young man with an extraordinary Aura stood in a pavilion.
He stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes as dark as ink, quietly exhaling wisps of pure True Essence.
"Saint, Saint Fufeng and Holy Son Tian Que have arrived."
A middle-aged Cultivator, clad in armor and possessing an astonishing Aura, quickly walked outside the pavilion and bowed respectfully.
"Hoo..."
Qingyun Saint Son exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi, and the blood-colored light high in the air flickered as the True Essence completely returned to his body.
"Why are these two fellows here? They're probably looking for Qiu Changfeng, right? Tell them Qiu Changfeng is in seclusion!"
Qiu Changfeng is one of the Elders of Yinyue Peak, belonging to the Qiu Nian lineage.
And he is precisely Elder Qiu, who was responsible for escorting resources to the Northern Wasteland but, due to a moment of curiosity, provoked the Empress of Great Qi!
"Yes, Saint!"
The middle-aged Cultivator respectfully agreed, preparing to return and inform the two Saints.
In the Holy Heaven Demon Sect, a Saint is not just one person!
Rather, each peak has a Saint. They are the future of the Holy Heaven Demon Sect, individuals who have the opportunity to succeed as Grand Elders of their respective peaks!
Not only is their status very high, but these Saints from various peaks also have the chance to contend for the position of Sect Master of the Demon Sect!
They hold a position second only to one person and above ten thousand in all major peaks!
"Qingyun Saint Son, it's rare for Tian Que and I to visit. As the host, you don't even offer a cup of tea, and you're already planning to send us away?"
In mid-air, a soft voice drifted over.
Qingyun Saint Son frowned, his gaze turning towards the direction of the voice.
He saw a handsome young man with a hint of feminine grace, and a tall young man carrying a great sword on his back, standing in mid-air.
It was Saint Fufeng who spoke!
The one with the great sword on his back and a cold gaze was the Saint of Giant God Peak, Holy Son Tian Que!
"Saint..."
The middle-aged Cultivator's expression changed when he saw the two of them intrude!
He was responsible for guarding the mountain gate. Anyone entering required permission, even the Saints from other peaks could not enter without announcement!
This was a serious dereliction of his duty!
"Never mind, you couldn't stop them anyway. Go down!"
Qingyun Saint Son's expression was indifferent. He raised his hand, gesturing for the middle-aged Cultivator to leave.
"Thank you, Saint!"
The middle-aged man was overjoyed. After bowing, he quickly departed.
A conversation at the Saint level was not something a small gate-guarding Cultivator like him could participate in. Even with his Soul Palace Realm strength, he was not qualified!
"You two came in without even a greeting. Aren't you afraid I'll activate the Formation and kill you?"
"The Demon Sect's law states that trespassers die. Are you two taking Yinyue Peak too lightly!"
Qingyun Saint Son's tone was very cold, carrying a hint of threat!
Saints are inherently competitors, and they would not miss any opportunity to gain an advantage over others!
Of course, usually, it's just a warning, and they wouldn't truly activate the mountain-protecting Formation.
"Qingyun, don't pretend to be confused when you know perfectly well!"
"We came to get the resources belonging to our two peaks from Qiu Changfeng. What? Do you want to swallow them privately!?"
Holy Son Tian Que did not take Qingyun Saint Son's threat seriously at all.
Everyone knows the limits. If he dared to do that, it would be hard to explain!
How could Saints from various peaks be killed just like that?
"The resources will naturally be given to you, but it will take some more time!"
The resources Elder Qiu was responsible for, of course, could not be produced.
He had gone to the Nanyuan Domain to retrieve the collected resources from Mo Li, but his curiosity got the better of him.
Before he could even get his hands on the resources, he first sought trouble with Shen Tianxing and encountered Empress, a Heavenly Phenomenon Realm expert, who held him firmly in her grasp!
He ultimately fled back to the Holy Heaven Demon Sect in a sorry state and is now severely punished, confined to the Thunder Prison.
The other two peaks' Saints coming to demand resources would certainly find none.
"That sounds good!"
"I heard that Qiu Changfeng was beaten and fled in a sorry state, and even the resources fell into someone else's hands."
"This matter is very serious. Are you from Yinyue Peak not planning to give us an explanation?"
Saint Fufeng said in a sarcastic tone.
Being in the same Sect, how easy is it to hide information?
They had come to demand accountability and were also very interested in what happened in the Nanyuan Domain.
Collecting resources is a lucrative position, and all peaks want it.
If they could seize this power, it would only benefit their two peaks.
"Since you already know, why ask me?"
"The Northern Wasteland is only so big. You must have known about what happened in the Nanyuan Domain long ago."
"I heard that a Prodigy emerged, and also a Heavenly Phenomenon Realm expert hidden within an Imperial Dynasty, relying on the Dragon Qi to achieve his cultivation!"
"If you are interested, you can go investigate yourselves!"
Qingyun Saint Son looked up at the two, a trace of mockery flashing across his face.
Heavenly Phenomenon Realm experts are not easy to deal with!
Even in the Holy Heaven Demon Sect, they are Elder-level experts!
If Giant Que Peak and Absolute Destruction Peak want to intervene, they must send out Elder-level figures!
It just depends on whether they are willing to bet!
A Heavenly Phenomenon Realm expert hidden within an Imperial Dynasty is not easy to deal with!
"I am more interested in that Prodigy named Shen Tianxing. I heard he was afflicted by Mo Li's Blood Soul Demonic Seal and has fled to the Sea of Buried Demons."
"It's just a pity his cultivation is too low. I wonder if he can last more than ten days."
Saint Fufeng said unhurriedly, a hint of playfulness in his tone when mentioning Shen Tianxing.
Prodigy?
In front of them, could anyone still be called a Prodigy?
Divine Profound Realm cultivators are far inferior to them!
Unless Shen Tianxing's cultivation surpasses Mo Li's and breaks the Demonic Seal before the Blood Soul Demonic Seal acts up!
Only then would he be qualified for them, the Saints, to look at him in a new light.
