44: Wuji Palace Holy Son

Chu Shengkun's eyes shot out two cold glints, "Is the news true?"

Holy Maiden Mu Xueli of the Mortal World, a Prodigy ranked thirty-sixth on the sealing king list, and one of the four beauties of the Eastern Region, was a woman he considered his forbidden plaything.

But now she had been killed!

No matter what background the other party had, he would torture him to death, making him regret coming into this world!

He had this confidence because he was the Saint of Wuji Palace!

"Saint, your subordinate has already sent people to Wanxiang Academy to verify, and news should be back very soon."

The Black Armor Man replied respectfully.

"Hmph! Whether it's true or not, spread the word for me: as long as that guy named Wu dares to come to Wuji Holy City, this Saint will make sure he never returns!"

A hint of killing intent flashed in Chu Shengkun's eyes.

He wanted to see if that arrogant fellow would dare to come after hearing this news.

"Lord Saint, people from Hundred Refinements Holy Land and Red Dust Holy Sect are here to visit."

Someone announced from outside the hall.

"Heh heh, they came at quite a coincidence..."

Chu Shengkun curled his lips into a cold smile, "Let them in."

A moment later.

A middle-aged man in a blue shirt and a beautiful woman in a red dress walked in together.

"Chen Tianxing of Hundred Refinements Holy Land greets Saint Chu."

"Liu Congyun of Red Dust Holy Sect greets Saint Chu."

The two bowed slightly.

Both of them were Saint Realm powerhouses, yet Chu Shengkun calmly accepted the greetings of two Saints.

The status of Wuji Palace was evident.

"Speak directly, are you here for that guy named Wu?"

Chu Shengkun went straight to the point.

The middle-aged man in the blue shirt nodded slightly, "To be honest with the Saint, we are indeed here for this matter."

The beautiful woman in the red dress continued, "Saint, we have found some information about that person's origins."

"Oh?"

"Tell me about it." Chu Shengkun became somewhat interested.

"According to our investigation, that person is named Wu Ning, from a remote small country called Great Jin in Yunlan Province. But when we investigated the capital of Great Jin, we discovered a quasi-Emperor level Formation there. We didn't dare to approach, so we controlled some local people to inquire about news..."

"But the news we found was a bit strange."

"Strange?" Chu Shengkun raised an eyebrow.

The beautiful woman in the red dress continued, "Indeed strange. According to the information found, that Wu Ning is the heir of Prince Yan's Mansion in Great Jin, and is currently only nineteen years old. He was once a well-known Cultivation 'waste' in Great Jin, and last year his fiancée even came to break off their engagement, causing quite a stir."

"But after that, Prince Yan and his wife mysteriously disappeared, and that Wu Ning also suddenly became mysterious, possessing unfathomable strength..."

Chu Shengkun frowned, "Could it be an old monster's Possession?"

He couldn't believe that someone could possess such powerful strength at nineteen; no one in this world could do it!

However, the middle-aged man in the blue shirt shook his head, "Not necessarily Possession. That guy named Wu not only kept two childhood playmates by his side but also protected Prince Yan's Mansion very well, specifically setting up a quasi-Emperor level grand Formation for it. If it were Possession, there would be no need to do so."

"Furthermore, according to our deeper investigation, we found that Prince Yan and his wife themselves have very mysterious origins. Perhaps, behind them, there is an even more hidden background!"

"Not Possession..."

Chu Shengkun frowned heavily.

No matter what, he couldn't believe that someone could possess the strength to kill a Saint powerhouse at nineteen.

Unprecedented!

Even the legendary Immortal Reincarnation couldn't do it!

Could it be...

He suddenly thought of a possibility: perhaps that guy named Wu was not relying on his own strength, but possessed some Heaven-Defying treasure!

The more he thought about it, the more he felt this was possible.

"Are you sure that quasi-Emperor grand Formation was set up by that guy named Wu?"

The middle-aged man in the blue shirt replied, "What we can confirm is that the quasi-Emperor grand Formation was set up for a very short time, less than half a year."

"Additionally, we found that the grand Formation is somewhat similar to the mountain-protecting Formation of Qingyun Sect."

"Qingyun Sect?"

A dangerous light flashed in Chu Shengkun's eyes, and he said somewhat disdainfully, "Just a declining Sect, could it be that they are helping that guy named Wu set up the Formation?"

"That guy named Wu stayed in Qingyun Sect for a period of time; their relationship is definitely not simple."

Chu Shengkun looked at the two of them, "You came to find this Saint not just to inform me of this news, right?"

The two nodded, "We are willing to work with the Saint to deal with that guy named Wu."

Dealing with Wu Ning was secondary; the main reason was that the young man in front of them would likely be the next Holy Master of Wuji Palace, and they had to seize the opportunity to build a good relationship.

Additionally, even if Wu Ning truly had some powerful background, with Wuji Palace taking the lead, they would have nothing to fear.

Chu Shengkun smiled faintly; he could naturally guess some of their intentions.

But he didn't care.

Looking at the entire Tianxuan Continent, their Wuji Palace was also one of the strongest forces.

He feared nothing!

...

"Boss, that guy named Chu is provoking you, isn't he?"

The words released by Chu Shengkun spread like wildfire, reaching East Sea City within a few days.

"No need to worry, he's just a dying man."

Wu Ning played with the seafood in his hand, thinking that when he killed him in a few days, he would definitely torture him thoroughly.

He was a petty person.

"Chirp chirp~~"

Suddenly, a cry sounded from the side of the tree.

Immediately after, a powerful aura quickly spread in all directions, instantly permeating the entire Wanxiang Academy.

"Finally, it's going to Breakthrough."

Wu Ning revealed a smile; it seemed the Nine Revolutions Saint Pill had worked.

On the tree.

The Azure Bird soared into the sky, its body constantly expanding, and its aura also surged dramatically.

At the same time, the sky suddenly darkened, and boundless thunderclouds began to gather.

"Saint Tribulation!"

Countless people looked up at the sky in shock.

Swish swish swish!

Figures appeared in mid-air, all powerhouses from Wanxiang Academy, each with an extremely powerful aura.

Among them, some figures were only blurry shadows, but they were extremely majestic, with unfathomable auras, and others looked at them with awe.

Wu Ning glanced around; the foundation of Wanxiang Academy was indeed profound.

There were dozens of Saint powerhouses in the air, five or six Giants, and even two Supremes!

Such a lineup, apart from the three Giants in the entire Eastern Region, probably no other force could produce.

Moreover, these people certainly weren't all the powerhouses of Wanxiang Academy.

For example, Li Qingxuan had not appeared.

"Tsk tsk, an Azure Bird with ordinary Bloodline actually broke through to the Ninth Rank, truly making us feel ashamed..."

Many gazes focused on the Azure Bird in the air, with some emotion in their eyes.

They had Cultivated bitterly for thousands of years to reach such a Realm, but they didn't expect someone's mount to achieve it so easily.

It really was infuriating to compare oneself to others!

Some people left after a glance, feeling defeated.

Several Giants gazed at Wu Ning for a moment, nodded to him, and then also left.

Wu Ning had stayed in Wanxiang Academy for more than three months, and most of the Academy's powerhouses knew of his existence.
