88: What is Xiaoyaozi’s background?

Xu Nian’s words echoed in the empty hall.

Immediately, the voice of Smoky Rain Pavilion Master Han Sen, ethereal, resounded from mid-air in the main hall: “The Sword Cultivator, invincible in the same realm, is that Supreme Cultivator named Carefree Master?”

Xu Nian nodded: “Exactly, it is him.”

“Although he is only a Supreme, he left many deeds on the Divine Continent Pure Land back then, and many important figures highly valued him, with some Emperor Realm Dao Lineages personally trying to recruit him.”

“Unfortunately, he rejected all of them, but I heard that he has a good relationship with several Emperors of the Divine Continent Pure Land. For a Supreme Realm Cultivator to be able to interact with Great Emperor Realm Cultivators as peers is truly unbelievable.”

Regarding Carefree Master, although he is only in the Supreme Realm, on the Divine Continent Pure Land, even some Saints and Saint Kings would not dare to provoke him.

Although he is without support, a Loose Cultivator, with no background,

He is deeply favored by some important figures, becoming sworn friends with them, and among them, there is even a Vice Pavilion Master of Misty Rain Tower’s General Tower!

“Carefree Master is a legend.”

“He is deeply appreciated by multiple Great Emperors. Since the General Tower has already given instructions, then just act according to the command.”

“You can make all decisions yourself regarding all matters.” Smoky Rain Pavilion Master Han Sen declared.

“Good.”

Xu Nian nodded slightly, then continued: “There is one more thing. There are only six days left until the Great Xia Emperor’s Five Heavenly Decline period.”

“More than half of Lan Ji’s people have secretly arrived in Xiazhou.”

“The powerhouses of the Shi Family and Yun Family are also taking action.”

“It seems an unavoidable bloody battle will occur within the Imperial City.”

“However, the Concubine and Sinian Yun have been in frequent secret contact these days. If I’m not mistaken, their objective is most likely the Ten-Eyed Heavenly Demon inside Imperial Ancestral Mountain.”

Misty Rain Tower naturally had a complete understanding of Cloud Nianniang and the Concubine’s identities.

After all, their reputations were well-known. Apart from Chu Yun, who had a cheat, any small movements by other Cultivators could not escape Misty Rain Tower’s Dharma Eye.

“The ancestor of the Great Xia Imperial Dynasty once suppressed this Ten-Eyed Heavenly Demon, which had caused chaos in one region, within Imperial Ancestral Mountain by himself. It’s a pity this act consumed half of Great Xia’s Luck and his life.”

“Otherwise, with the Great Xia Imperial Dynasty’s foundation back then, within this Hundred Dynasty Land, they could have at least secured a spot among the Ten Great Dynasties.” Smoky Rain Pavilion Master Han Sen’s tone carried a hint of regret.

The current Great Xia Imperial Dynasty is only considered middle-tier among all the Imperial Dynasties in this Hundred Dynasty Land, not even reaching the upper tier.

Let alone comparing to those Ten Great Dynasties that possess King Sealing Realm Cultivators.

“Indeed.”

“However, in my opinion, if Chu Yun can become the monarch of Great Xia, then perhaps there will be hope for change.” Xu Nian suddenly said.

“Brother Nian, your current evaluation of Chu Yun is surprisingly high?”

“Could it be that you sensed something?” Smoky Rain Pavilion Master Han Sen couldn’t help but ask.

Xu Nian smiled faintly: “Just a hunch, merely a hunch. I believe in him, and I believe in my own hunch.”

Upon hearing this, Smoky Rain Pavilion Master Han Sen didn’t bother to ask further.

Even if Xu Nian had truly sensed something, his words now clearly indicated he wouldn’t reveal it.

“Alright, if there’s nothing else, you may go.”

“Regarding the Imperial Family’s matters, just observe.”

“Good.” Xu Nian then turned and left.

………

National Preceptor’s Mansion.

Beneath the National Preceptor’s Mansion, there was an underground palace.

This place was surrounded by isolation Formations, which could block all Qi and perceptions.

At this moment, besides National Preceptor Feng Tianzheng, there were also more than a dozen figures, all resting within this palace.

And the cultivation of these people, at the very least, was at the Early Stage of the Venerable Realm!

This included the Vice Sect Master of Shen Sect, Vice Sect Leader Yan Ru Jun.

And at the very beginning, that Blood Xuan Venerable from the Blood God Sect!

Among these dozen or so Venerable Realm Cultivators, besides Vice Sect Leader Yan Ru Jun and Feng Tianzheng, there were also four at the Peak of the Venerable Realm.

They were Grand Elder Zhou Lin of Shen Sect.

Vice Sect Master Jiang Xie of Corpse Yin Sect.

Vice Sect Master Guiqi of Blood God Sect.

Valley Master Qi Quan of Heavenly Rift Valley.

These individuals were all famous and influential figures throughout the Great Xia Imperial Dynasty!

As for the other Venerables, they were also members of these Sects.

Heavenly Rift Valley, among the many forces within the Great Xia Imperial Dynasty, also ranked among the top ten.

Although its foundation was not as deep as Corpse Yin Sect and Blood God Sect, its strength should not be underestimated.

These people, secretly staying in the underground palace of the National Preceptor’s Mansion, were naturally there for the battle in the Imperial City six days later!

As long as the Great Xia Emperor was gone, their combined strength would be enough to control everything within the Imperial City. At that time, if Meng Changzhong, Ashura, and others did not submit, then they would die!

“National Preceptor, what is the situation in the city now?”

“Are there any disturbances?” Guiqi, the Vice Sect Master of the Blood God Sect, stepped forward and asked him.

“All is calm, rest assured.”

“The Empress has arranged everything. When the time comes to act, all four city gates will be controlled by our people. The entire Imperial City will then completely become our hunting ground!”

“Next, we just need to wait patiently.”

The National Preceptor held a glazed cup, filled with clear red-purple spirit wine. After taking a sip, he said indifferently.

Jiang Xie of Corpse Yin Sect, at this moment, glanced at Vice Sect Leader Yan Ru Jun and, seeing his expression, couldn’t help but ask: “Brother Yan, why do you look a bit worried?”

Feng Tianzheng and the others also looked over.

Vice Sect Leader Yan Ru Jun then explained: “I’ve actually always been curious about the origin of that Venerable who cultivated lightning power on Qianliu Mountain earlier?”

“Our Sect used the Divine Eye but still couldn’t find him, and he has now disappeared.”

“I’ve always felt a bit uneasy. If this person isn’t thoroughly investigated, I always have a feeling that something bad will happen.”

“Brother Yan, you are truly overthinking.”

“Given the current situation, let alone one Peak Venerable Realm Cultivator, even if two or three more came, they wouldn’t ruin our plans.”

“You must know, what will truly play a decisive role this time are not Venerables.” Jiang Xie said confidently.

“Indeed.”

“This time, the infiltration of Heavenly Venerable Realm powerhouses has also been arranged perfectly by the Empress, foolproof!”

“And the Empress also holds a trump card that is enough to turn everything around!”

“Therefore, Brother Yan, you no longer need to worry.”

“Come!”

“Let us celebrate in advance the great victory of the upcoming battle!”

“From now on, the Great Xia Imperial Dynasty will only have our voice, and those like the Shi Family will all become history!!”

Feng Tianzheng raised his glazed cup, celebrating with the other Venerable Realm Cultivators.

However, they did not know that celebrating prematurely was a great taboo!

Having committed a taboo, this also destined them not to succeed!
