Chapter 6078: The Netherworld Sect’s Fear

Jimo Qianzhou fell silent after hearing Baili Zilin’s words.

Even their operation to capture Xianhai Yu’er had been discreet, but Baili Zilin wanted to stand before the world openly. That put him in a spot. This was not a matter he could call the shots on.

Those higher ranking than him happened to be in closed-door training, and he had no idea where they were. He couldn’t seek their permission even if he wanted to.

And those lords had issued an order before they went into closed-door training, instructing the sectmembers to lie low and not to do anything overboard other than finding prodigies to plant Netherworld Embryos in.

Baili Zilin’s desire to appear in public at this juncture was in defiance of those lords’ order.

“Uncle Qianzhou, are you unwilling to help me too?” Baili Zilin asked.

“Young master Zilin, I support you, but this matter has grave consequences. We have to seek permission from milord. If milord agrees, we’ll go ahead even if those from the conservative faction oppose.”

Jimo Qianzhou had made it clear that as long as Baili Zilin’s father was agreeable to it, he was willing to take the risk for Baili Zilin.

But Baili Zilin wasn’t satisfied with the answer. “Uncle Qianzhou, my father has gone into closed-door training, and he won’t emerge from his closed-door training until he makes a breakthrough, so we have no idea when he’ll be out. But I don’t want to wait anymore.

“The world already knows about our Netherworld Sect, and the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s Jie Tianran isn’t around. Is there any power in the world of cultivation that can stop our Netherworld Sect at this juncture? I only want the world to know about me. Is that such a difficult request?”

“Young master Zilin, the ones that our Netherworld Sect fears the most are the Ancient Era’s clans. Many years ago, while your mother was expecting you, your father and those few lords once encountered a mysterious expert inside a remnant.

“That expert was extremely powerful, such that your father and those few lords weren’t a match despite teaming up against him. They only survived the encounter using the treasure left behind by Lord Netherworld Master.”

Baili Zilin was intrigued. It was his first time hearing about this. “Who’s that person? Is he from the Ancient Era’s clans?”

“Zilin, the lords are in closed-door training. I’m worried that I’d fail to protect you if something happens,” Jimo Qianzhou said.

“Uncle Qianzhou, aren’t you already at Heavenly God level? What’s there to fear from a mere Chu Feng?” Baili Zilin asked.

“Young master Zilin, I don’t think you get what I’m saying. What I fear is not Chu Feng or the powers you see on the surface right now. I’m worried that the Ancient Era’s clans might have powerhouses who didn’t enter God’s Era.

“We will remain safe as long as we remain in the shadows, but we’ll be exposed to danger if we choose to reveal ourselves,” Jimo Qianzhou said.

“Just like Chu Feng?” Baili Zilin suddenly asked.

Jimo Qianzhou was initially taken aback, but he soon nodded. “That’s right.”

“But Chu Feng is still alive. If he can do it, why can’t I?” Baili Zilin asked.

“That’s not what I mean, young master Zilin. I can’t call the shots on this matter.” Jimo Qianzhou was put in a spot.

“My mind is made up. Unless Uncle Qianzhou stops me, I’ll stand in front of the world and prove myself to them,” Baili Zilin said before closing his eyes to focus on his recuperation.

“Haaa!” Jimo Qianzhou shook his head helplessly.

He wouldn’t stop Baili Zilin, but he was also worried that a mishap would befall the latter.

“Milord!” a Netherworld General suddenly called out.

Jimo Qianzhou was in a bad mood. He might not be able to vent his anger on Baili Zilin, but he could most definitely vent his anger on a Netherworld General. But before he could speak, the latter revealed a shocking piece of news.

“Something has happened to the Undying Starfield!”

Jimo Qianzhou was startled. Baili Zilin opened his eyes and stood up.
