"Brother Galo, with so little information, you actually need to ask about it personally. What's the matter? Is it the Divine Venerable's intention? Empuda looked at the young man before her and chuckled.
The young man standing before Empuda was Gala, a disciple of Great Brahma, renowned in the Immortal Realm and no less than Empuda.
Although he looks extremely young, his fame is immense, and he once stirred up countless storms and bloodshed in the Immortal Realm.
Galo shook his head and said, "Master has been in seclusion for so many years; how could he have the mind to manage these matters?"
I feel like Lingxiao Academy isn't behaving well. It seems their patience has reached its limit, and it looks like they're about to make a final comeback and fight desperately.
Before my master went into seclusion, he warned me to keep an eye on Lingxiao Academy. It is a grave threat, and I have to be cautious. "
Enpuda smiled and said, "Brother Galuo, you are meticulous and the most outstanding among all the disciples of the Divine Lord. In the future, you will inherit the mantle of the Divine Lord. "
Empuda called him 'little brother' affectionately, though their relationship was actually quite extraordinary.
"Brother, you must be joking. I came this time to ask what you think about the situation at Lingxiao Academy."
Before my master went into seclusion, he once reminded me not to understand anything and to seek advice from you, so I came to disturb you. "Galo said.
Hearing Galo's words, Empuda smiled so hard his eyes narrowed into slits, the flesh on his face trembling uncontrollably. He laughed and said, "
Lord God, you are too modest. The fact that my brother is favored by him proves that your talent is truly one in a million."
I'm just a few years older than you and have a bit more experience, nothing to talk about.
In fact, the Divine Lord had also instructed me to secretly monitor Lingxiao Academy and keep an eye on their every move.
To test Lingxiao Academy, I specially accepted a disciple and gave him a halo to test its depths.
Through Gui Yun, we indeed probed that Lingxiao Academy has now been pushed to the edge of a cliff, unable to retreat any further.
The appearance of Long Chen seemed to have become a pawn of Lingxiao Academy, and this guy was indeed rather peculiar. People say he is the next ascendant to ascend.
But I still feel something doesn't quite seem like. Almost all the next realms are under our surveillance, and we've already harvested a batch of leeks. If he's not being harvested, then he should be under our control. Such a person, even in the mortal realm, is definitely the dominant prodigy of a world—there's no way we don't know about it.
So, Long Chen is most likely a secret pawn cultivated by Lingxiao Academy. The so-called ascenders are just deliberately setting up a deceptive formation to confuse us. "
But if what you say is true, brother, why not shelved Long Chen and secretly train him? Exposing him now would be very unwise." Galo asked in confusion.
"Little brother, you may not know, but Lingxiao Academy has secretly cultivated many geniuses, and their hidden strength is not to be underestimated.
They throw out Long Chen, and I think it's deliberately to attract our attention. It's like how I trained Gui Yun and declared him my most beloved disciple—it's all a setup.
I guess they threw Long Chen out to draw our attention to him and secretly make other moves. "Empuda analyzed.
"You mean..." Galo said in surprise.
"I'm just guessing. Whether it's true or not still needs to be verified." Empuda was speaking.
"Buzz"
At that moment, Empda's ring lit up faintly. Empuda smiled, "There's news from the Evil Dragon Domain. You should take a look too!" After
speaking, Empuda handed Jia Luo a jade token. Galo glanced at it with his divine sense and was slightly surprised:
"Long Chen actually went to the ruins of the Seventh Branch and even cut off the lotus pods of the Ghost-Eyed Water Lily. Is this information accurate?"
Empuda said confidently, "Absolutely accurate. There's a secret agent from my Blood Kill Hall there. My followers are hunting him down to cover for others. He's one of my devout followers, so there's absolutely no problem."
However, Long Chen was truly astonished that he could cut through the lotus pod of the Demon-Eyed Water Lily. The Demon-Eyed Water Lily was the emperor among the lotus plants, activating the power of nine-colored reincarnation to annihilate any Immortal King-level powerhouse, yet Long Chen had his pod cut off.
However, the Demon-Eyed Water Lily, having lost its pod, was less than one-tenth of its strength. It wasn't surprising that Long Chen escaped. The
follower Enpuda mentioned was Zhao Qinglong. If Bai Shishi, the leader of the Ironblood Mercenary Group, and others were here, they would be utterly shocked. They had all been deceived by Zhao Qinglong; he had hidden it too deeply.
"Buzz"—
a scene appeared before them. In the scene, Long Chen and the others were gathered around a stove, performing a strange "ritual" ritual. Long Chen muttered mysteriously to words that no one could understand.
Afterwards, Long Chen and the others entered the flying vessel. Even after activating the flying vessel's grand formation, they did not block out the watching; every move they made was recorded.
"My guess was right. Among these people, only Long Chen understands his true mission. Even Bai Letian's grandchildren are kept in the dark." A cold smile appeared at the corner of Empuda's mouth.
"Is this kid an idiot? What kind of altar is that? Do they think we are fools? If he really wants to deceive us, he should at least build a proper altar and set up a bigger formation. Galo couldn't help but say.
Is that called Mao's altar? It's just a stove for making fires, and beast bones are used as offerings? Is it over once it burns black? Even a fool wouldn't be this foolish to do so, right?
"Treat the virtual as the real and the solid as the false. This brat is very cunning. The fact that Lingxiao Academy sent him out and revealed his purpose shows that this guy has a lot of tricks." Enpuda said.
"So what should we do now?" Galo asked.
"We need to continue monitoring Long Chen, but that's not the main point. The key is to keep an eye on the ruins of the other branches.
Long Chen had cut off the pod of the Ghost-Eyed Water Lily, so it would definitely fly into a rage. That grudge was formed.
It will definitely send troops to the Undying Realm, and once it recovers, it might even launch a direct attack on Lingxiao Academy.
Back then, we went to great lengths to throw the Ancient Demon Corpse there and attract the Undying Realm's attention, all just to have them guard that place.
Originally, we needed to keep an eye on that place, but now it was simply unnecessary. The Demon-Eyed Water Lily definitely couldn't swallow this pride; this matter wouldn't just be let go.
Therefore, the Evil Dragon Domain became the least likely place for Lingxiao Academy to seize, and the cost was unbearable.
But you don't need to worry—all the major sites have our informants, and no hint of trouble can escape our notice.
And seizing the ruins is definitely not a matter of a day or two. We've been planning for tens of millions of years—does Lingxiao Academy want to turn things around? Hehe, will we give them a chance? "Empuda chuckled.
"Brother, you are a strategist. I admire you. Since that's the case, why not let me take the lead and kill Long Chen?"
A sinister murderous intent appeared on Galo's face. He vaguely sensed that Long Chen was extremely dangerous and could not be allowed to remain, or he would become a major threat.
