245: Going to Shenwu Sect alone

Xun Xiuyuan told Zhuge Lun and the others to return to the Heavenly Palace, saying he could go to the Divine Martial Sect alone.

Ling Baoer initially wanted to object, fearing that someone might still try to assassinate Xun Xiuyuan.

Zhuge Lun stopped Ling Baoer and said with a smile, "Palace Lord's strength is formidable now. If anyone comes who can assassinate him, we most likely wouldn't be able to protect him anyway."

Hearing this, Ling Baoer no longer insisted and returned to the Heavenly Palace with Zhuge Lun.

Soon, Xun Xiuyuan arrived at the Divine Martial Sect's deliberation hall, led by Lin Zheng and Wu Que.

Besides Supreme Elder Gu Yunshan and Wu Meng, there were also three presidents of the Four United Association present.

Attending to business first, Xun Xiuyuan respectfully handed an invitation to Wu Meng.

Wu Meng also formally received it with both hands.

Wu Meng sighed inwardly, 'How long has it been?'

During the last sneak attack by Xuan Yue, this Palace Lord of the Heavenly Palace was still asking him for help. Now, he faces five God Kings, his demeanor astonishing.

It must be known that these five God Kings were all existences no weaker than Xuan Yue.

Supreme Elder Gu Yunshan looked at Xun Xiuyuan with a beaming smile, "Those Five Elements World fragments are good things for you, yet you returned them to them just like that."

Xun Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Five Elements World fragments are not difficult to obtain."

Supreme Elder Gu Yunshan pointed at Xun Xiuyuan's nose and laughed, "But once you reach the God King Realm, you can infinitely integrate them into your Inner World! In the Heavenly God Realm, you can only refine one, but once the God King Realm World forms, there is no such restriction. Otherwise, how would Five Elements World fragments become hard currency among God Kings?"

Xun Xiuyuan truly didn't know about this point, but it didn't matter, as Five Elements World fragments were not very scarce.

There was another reason: when Xun Xiuyuan got those fragments, he tried to put them into his Sea of Consciousness, but couldn't. Perhaps it was because his realm hadn't reached the God King Realm yet.

Xun Xiuyuan very politely said to Supreme Elder Gu Yunshan, "Thank you for your guidance, senior. May I ask your name?"

"My name is Supreme Elder Gu Yunshan. Your master and I are childhood friends, true childhood friends. His opportunities were heaven-defying, so naturally, he faced many tribulations. When something happened to him that year, I also went to the Extraterritorial Battlefield to investigate, but I was powerless."

Supreme Elder Gu Yunshan said to Xun Xiuyuan.

At this moment, the three presidents of the Four United Association felt as if they were sitting on pins and needles, because Xun Xiuyuan hadn't paid them any attention, instead chatting casually with Supreme Elder Gu Yunshan.

At this point, the second president of the Four United Association spoke, "Palace Master Xun, since you kept us here, if you have any instructions, please state them clearly."

Xun Xiuyuan heard what the second president said and finally turned his head.

He chuckled and said, "Your purpose at the Divine Martial Sect is obvious. Since you are enemies, there's no need for me to be polite. Either the three of you defeat me, or each of you gives me one Five Elements World fragment, and this matter will be considered settled."

The three presidents already knew that since Xun Xiuyuan had come, they would definitely have to bleed heavily, but they didn't expect Zhou Yuanling's conditions to be so exorbitant.

He immediately asked for Five Elements World fragments.

In fact, Xun Xiuyuan himself didn't know what else could make these God Kings feel pain, only knowing that Five Elements World fragments were hard currency in the God King Realm.

"The seniors of the Divine Martial Sect chose to be magnanimous regarding your offense, but I am a junior, the kind who holds grudges. You can choose not to give them. I said, if the three of you can defeat me, you can leave."

Xun Xiuyuan said calmly.

The junior president of the Four United Association stood up upon hearing this and said, "All you know is fighting. Don't you know about a harmonious society? Take it."

He was saying the fiercest words while doing the most cowardly thing.

The fourth president's strength was similar to Xuan Yue's, and he dared not compete with Xun Xiuyuan. Facing five God Kings was truly too terrifying.

The other two presidents also looked at their fourth brother speechlessly, and finally, each took out a Five Elements World fragment and handed it to Xun Xiuyuan.

After receiving them, Xun Xiuyuan spoke again, "Since you haven't been too deeply involved with the Zhu Xie Alliance, it would be better to draw a clear line with them in the future."

It was just a piece of advice, not a threat.

The three presidents of the Four United Association exchanged glances and replied, "We will discuss it after we return and will definitely give Palace Master Xun a satisfactory response."

Xun Xiuyuan nodded and once again chatted with the four God Kings of the Divine Martial Sect, no longer paying attention to the three presidents of the Four United Association.

Seeing this, the three presidents bowed to Wu Meng and left the Divine Martial Sect.

Supreme Elder Gu Yunshan saw this and laughed heartily, "Very good, even more arrogant than Ling Tian back then."

Wu Meng and the other three God Kings also smiled.

After laughing, Supreme Elder Gu Yunshan looked at Xun Xiuyuan seriously and asked, "How do you plan to deal with the Zhu Xie Alliance?"

Xun Xiuyuan pondered for a moment and said, "The outside World isn't very clear about the Zhu Xie Alliance's true nature. Everyone knows that Huyan Man, the leader of the Zhu Xie Alliance, is a God King with eight laws. But how he helps others achieve God King status, and with whom he colludes from outside the Great World, are all unknown."

Supreme Elder Gu Yunshan thought for a moment and said, "The matter of Huyan Man colluding with evil races came from your War God Hall, without any evidence. If there were genuine evidence, the Ghost Emperor would have already attacked."

Xun Xiuyuan asked in confusion, "The Ghost Emperor? So filled with righteous indignation?"

"Righteous indignation? No, the Ghost Emperor's wife's entire family was killed by Huyan Man. A family of hundreds of thousands of people, only the Ghost Emperor's wife remained. So, the Ghost Emperor and Huyan Man have a deep blood feud."

Supreme Elder Gu Yunshan explained.

Xun Xiuyuan thought for a moment and said, "When I obtained the Ling Tian Pagoda, Master left a wisp of his divine sense and told me some things."

Supreme Elder Gu Yunshan immediately asked, "What did Ling Tian say? Did he reveal the culprit? He was directly annihilated back then, leaving no trace of clues."

Xun Xiuyuan shook his head, "It's not that he left no trace of clues. When Master died, he left a wisp of divine thought in the War God Hall, which is why the War God Hall spread rumors of the Zhu Xie Alliance colluding with evil races."

Supreme Elder Gu Yunshan nodded, "No wonder the War God Hall's actions in the later period were so strange. They probably had no evidence, became disheartened, and were utterly disappointed with the Great Desolate World."

"The divine sense Master left in the Ling Tian Pagoda told me that he was killed by human traitors colluding with Strange Beast. Only this one sentence, urging me not to seek revenge."

Xun Xiuyuan still spoke Ling Tian's words.

These matters were already known to several senior brothers of the War God Hall.

Supreme Elder Gu Yunshan's body shook upon hearing this: " Strange Beast? Could it be the Azure Dragon King? That's impossible, isn't it?"

Xun Xiuyuan was puzzled: "Why is it impossible?"

Supreme Elder Gu Yunshan explained, "The Azure Dragon King doesn't have that strength. The Great Desolate World has three Super God Kings: the Azure Dragon King, the Ghost Emperor, and your master, Ling Tian."

Among the three, your master was the strongest in terms of strength, and he also possessed a supreme treasure like the Ling Tian Pagoda. Huyan Man and the Azure Dragon King simply had no chance to kill Ling Tian."

Xun Xiuyuan had originally suspected the Azure Dragon King, but Zhuge Lun said it was impossible, and now Supreme Elder Gu Yunshan said the same, so it was truly very likely not the Azure Dragon King.
