Chapter 1216 Gifts
The army leader took a deep breath to calm down, which was challenging for her since most people would bow down to her when she showed up anywhere. However, dealing with these ancient lineages was usually infuriating, and the Origin Seal Continent was the worst since their leader was alive and a potent threat despite her current state.
"We are only searching for a criminal. Once we find out that you're not hiding it, we will leave," she persuaded. "So, just be reasonable."
"I am being reasonable," the mayor replied. "After all, I'm not stopping you from searching. I merely warned you of your fate if you do so."
A ruthless light flashed in the commander's eyes. "All members of the Seven Moon Council wished to capture this criminal, yet you insist on not cooperating. Are you sure you're ready for the consequences?"
"All of you can enter; I'm not stopping you," the mayor rebutted with her usual smile. "The question is how many of you will return."
The commander clenched her fists so hard that sparks flew due to the friction of the metal from her armor. The council ignored the Origin Seal Continent because of this fear. Even if all of them besieged her, many of them would die in the process. One of the Sun Rulers also placed her on the protection list, meaning that Twin Flower would never fight against her. The hidden moon was too cowardly to make an enemy out of her.
Lastly, the others would not want to risk their lives to eliminate her, so they just ignored her as long as she didn't go too far. Unfortunately, over the years, the Origin Seal Continent has become a symbol that their power was not absolute.
"You'll regret this," the commander declared with raging eyes. She ordered her man to retreat, and a formation manifested above their heads to teleport them away. The mayor sneered before returning to her mansion.
"As expected of the Sect Madam," Wang Qi muttered. "I can't wait for the sect master to have this level of power. I bet he'll be even more domineering."
"Is that so?"
Wang Qi was shocked, and before he could react, his surroundings had changed. When he saw the beautiful woman opposite him, he instinctively said: "Sect Madam, I mean, Empress." He quickly bowed to show his respect.
"You can be at ease," Wu Hong stated calmly. "Why are you here?"
"I came to send the sect master's regards," Wang Qi said. He suddenly realized he was in too much of a hurry and should have asked the sect master for a handwritten note. However, it was too late, so he decided to improvise. "He wanted you to know he was here and was doing fine."
"Is that so?" Wu Hong muttered. She thought briefly, and as she was about to say something, she sensed something outside the cultivation room. She sighed mentally before opening the formation. "What do you want?"
"I sense someone with the sect's luck has arrived. I thought the kid came to see you," Yan Hai replied.
"Ancestor," Wang Qi said in surprise before bowing even deeper. If his worship of Wu Hong was more out of fear for her strength, this one was out of respect for his sect's founder.
"You can stand up," Yan Hai nodded. "Hmm, I don't recognize you, but you have Turtle's aura."
"The Turtle Shell Emperor was the one who gifted my immortality."
"Since you're alive, I'm guessing you did not abandon your role as guardian?" FiNd updates on n(o)/velbin(.)com
Wu Hong sighed before summoning two boxes with runes engraved. She opened the first one to reveal a clear drop of blood containing the cosmos. Wang Qi immediately felt a terrifying pressure weighing on him. He might have been forced to kneel without the box's suppression.
"This is from an Adult Fiendgod with Space Primordial Law. And the second one is from an Elder Fiedgod with Life Primordial Law. I have nothing related to fate, so those must do."
"I'm sure, no, I know, the sect master will appreciate it," Wang Qi swiftly said.
"Do you want to give him the 11 and 12th revolution you've created?" Wu Hong asked.
"No. Let him create his version. Then, we can compare and maybe fuse the best parts into a supreme technique," Yan Hai replied before focusing on Wang Qi. "I can't let you go empty-handed. I don't want that boy to start saying his ancestor is cheap." Yan Hai summoned a small tree on her palm surrounded by a golden light.
"This is a Peach Tree of Wisdom; its function is the same as the Bodhi Tree, and its rank is Tier 12. Tell him I'm not giving it to him but lending it since the tree is not mine but the sect's public property.' She took this thing to Ultimate Taboo to help her understand if they found a Transcendent Method. As such, she never had a chance to return it.
"I will tell him," Wang Qi nodded as he carefully put the tree away.
"Anything else?" Yan Hai asked. "If he needs any help, you can ask now."
"I think that's it for now," Wang Qi replied. "The sect master has a plan and is executing them. So, I think everything will be fine."
"That's good to hear," Yan Hai nodded. "If he can kill these bastards, our people can return, and we can work together to find a way to kill or exile Supreme Unity. Things can return to normal again."
"What if he fails?" Wu Hong asked.
"Then, we'll use Plan B."
"Which is?"
"You and I go on a rampage and kill these bastards," Yan Hai said. "We might die, but it will be worth it since the others can find a way to revive us from Limbo."
"You make it sound so simple."
"Isn't it?"
"Most of us had our [Existence] damage, so even reviving, our strength will be weakened," Wu Hong explained. "We can use abundant resources to fix the problem, but it will still take time. How many people will revive knowing they will be weakened and someone as powerful as Supreme Unity above their heads?
"Not to mention Maitreya. You might believe her, but many others won't. In their eyes, she might be as bad as him. The problem was never these eight parasites, but the other two."
"You may be correct, but you also can't disagree that removing these eight will make the situation much less complicated — especially that slimy Time Eater," Yan Hai replied. "I don't know what he's planning, but my intuition tells me I won't like it."
Wang Qi stood silently to the side, wondering whether he should be listening to these things. However, he realized this was significant news he could bring to the patriarch.
