A Sage Reincarnated

Upon hearing the Demon Sheep Venerable's words, the two felt a chill run down their spines.

Are you serious?

But they are not ready yet.

Without saying much, Demon Sheep Venerable took out Three Incense Sticks and lit them in the temple of the Secret Hall.

Burn incense with devotion.

Before long, a golden light appeared in front of the temple, and then a young man dressed in a silver-white robe walked out. He exuded a holy and noble Aura, and the edges of his eyes were light silver, as if endless silver light was reflected in his eyes.

"One year in the Sacred Land is equivalent to ten years on Mortal World."

A light voice came from the young man's mouth. His eyes swept over the three demons in the Secret Hall, his expression indifferent, and he said, "How's things going here?"

"Your Saint Child, it's like this..."

Demon Sheep Venerable immediately bowed and knelt down, explaining the situation and their Law Dao.

After listening quietly, the Saint Child's expression turned icy:

"So, you're saying I've waited decades, and you've schemed here for centuries, all to be for naught, and you're coming straight to the point?"

Demon Sheep Venerable's body tensed, and he bowed his head, saying, "Your subordinate is incompetent. That Human Race brat's rise to power was too sudden, and I failed to kill him in time. Now, he is beyond saving."

Originally, they were ordered by the Saint Child not to make too much noise, but to slowly erode the Jiang family's power. The Jiang Family quietly resurrected their Progenitor here. Although the Divine Dynasty had lasted for more than three thousand years, it had only lasted for more than three hundred years in the Lands of the Saints.

Three hundred years is but a fleeting moment for all the sages.

"I already told you before, it's either a decisive blow or a slow, gradual erosion, don't get bogged down in a protracted war of attrition, and yet you still ended up like this."

The Saint Child's eyes were filled with murderous intent, causing the temperature inside the Secret Hall to drop.

He originally planned to quietly plunder the Jiang Family's Incense, so he had these three demons plot here, which took hundreds of years, and he also waited in the Sacred Land for decades.

Now that we're going to have a showdown and a direct confrontation, isn't all the time wasted before pointless?

"Your Highness, please forgive me."

The three demons all lowered their heads, trembling with fear.

"You've reached this level of cultivation at sixteen? Are you sure?"

The Saint Child, however, changed the subject, narrowing his eyes as he spoke.

Demon Sheep Venerable nodded. "This matter is no longer a secret. We now suspect that he may be a reincarnation of Sage."

"Sage reincarnated..."

The Saint Child's eyes flickered. "That is indeed possible. Currently, Sacred Capital in the Lands of the Saints within the Immortal Gate are plotting a major event that requires the opening of all Martial Dao Extreme Realm to accomplish. It may be a step left behind by a certain Sage, but judging from what you've said, his actions are far too high-profile."

"Even though this is the Mortal World, it's possible that other Sage could spy on it and kill it."

The three demons looked at each other, sensing that they had overheard a great secret, but dared not ask.

"If we had known this kid was so Prodigy, we should have intervened ourselves back then," Demon Sheep Venerable murmured, filled with regret.

When Li Hao became famous All Under Heaven, they were planning to seize Liang Prefecture and take care of that kid while they were at it.

As a result, even with the Great Void Realm Sovereign in charge, they couldn't kill that kid. Li Hao was only fifteen years old at the time!

Even now, even if they take action, they have no confidence in stopping it. It feels like it appeared out of nowhere, suddenly appearing in the blink of an eye, leaving no time to react.

The other Prodigy born from Great Yu were all secretly plotted to Assassination them. Some of the top Prodigy were on their kill list. Those who were not Assassination were basically no threat to their existence.

They secretly stifled the Dynasty's new vitality, causing it to decay and age prematurely.

But now, a Prodigy has suddenly appeared, shattering the darkness with thunder and disrupting all their plans and rhythm.

Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to disturb the Saint Child so rashly.

"Are you coming to me now hoping for reinforcements?"

The Saint Child asked in a cold voice.

Demon Sheep Venerable lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, our current strength is indeed somewhat insufficient. If that boy were to join forces with that True Person, we..."

"Snort!"

The Saint Child snorted coldly and said, "The Great Yu Dynasty secretly collected Incense to resurrect their ancestors. Do you know why those five cities of the Divine General Residence have that Divine Array? They used mountains and rivers as an array to reverse the Incense, transferring the Incense accumulated in the Daoist Temple to the Jiang Family."

"They were so careful to avoid being discovered by other Sage, who might ruin their plans."

"After all, it is still unknown whether the Progenitor of the Jiang Family had any opposing Sage."

"If we make a big fuss now, we might end up with nothing!"

The three demons, including Demon Sheep Venerable, were all taken aback, and their expressions changed.

"Requesting reinforcements is impossible, and even if we did, I doubt you could handle it. I'll handle this personally, leaving him with no hope!"

The Saint Child's eyes were resolute and ruthless; he had no intention of dragging things out any longer and giving the other party a chance to grow.

The idea of sending slightly stronger villains, like in a storybook, for the heroes to repeatedly kill to train and increase their power until they become invincible, is impossible.

He wanted to shatter it directly with Dao Power, giving it no chance whatsoever.

"You just need to focus on the Qian Dao Palace. Once the Merit Treasure Trove appears, the Warrior within the Great Yu Realm will grow stronger and stronger by harnessing the merit from the Mo River."

The Saint Child said, "Moreover, if the Ancient Sacred Clan of the Great Wasteland Heaven learn of this, they will most likely interfere as well. After all, the Ancient Sacred Clan closed the Merit Treasure Trove during their great war, which was a blessing from Heavenly Dao."

The three demons Demon Sheep Venerable, were stunned, never expecting the Saint Child to personally intervene.

Previously, the Saint Child had kept himself in seclusion to avoid being exposed and attracting unwanted attention, but now he clearly doesn't care anymore.

"Your Highness, I am incompetent and have Saint Child you to suffer."

Demon Sheep Venerable looked ashamed.

"Stop talking nonsense. If you fail again this time, I will not let you off the hook."

The Saint Child's eyes flashed with a cold light as he said, "Fortunately, that brat dealt with the Buddha Master, saving us the trouble of dealing with Buddha Master later. He dares to try and compete with me for Incense!"

Having previously cooperated with the Buddha Master, they both guessed each other's intentions. The Buddha Master wanted to use them to obtain the lineage, accumulate enough Incense, and achieve sainthood in one fell swoop.

They were also using the Buddha Master's hand to plunder the Jiang Family; they all sought the same goal.

Therefore, a conflict of interest is inevitable in the end.

They were both very confident in themselves.

Now that the Buddha Master is dead, although the lack of internal Buddhist Sect makes this hard-fought battle somewhat troublesome for them, it also reduces the number of opponents in the final stage, which can be considered a blessing in disguise.

"Yes, Your Highness, we will certainly not disappoint you again."

The old man Demon Sheep Venerable, quickly said.

The Black-robed Youth and the Purple-Patterned Woman also lowered their heads nervously, their hearts heavy.

"We must attack quickly and not give them a chance. These guys still have some trump cards up their sleeves, especially those who entered the Immortal Gate a thousand years ago. They've been making moves in the Lands of the Saints recently, trying to open the Immortal Gate. We absolutely cannot delay any longer!"

The Saint Child gave his instructions.

The three demons felt a chill run down their spines, and immediately understood why the Saint Child had chosen to take action personally; the situation had become so dire.

The Great Yu Dynasty is too tough; we've been trying to break through it for hundreds of years without success!

"We will surely kill that old Daoist priest!"

"It was a solemn statement from the Demon Sheep Venerable."

Liang Prefecture, Heaven's Gate Pass.

Small Courtyard, news reports kept pouring in.

When Li Hao learned of Yu Emperor's Imperial Edict, he was somewhat taken aback, as it seemed quite different from what they had discussed earlier.

The subsequent attacks by Demon finally made Li Hao realize that His Majesty did not seem to have chosen the path he had initially discussed with him.

But this would expose far too many of our cards.

Is it worth it?

Li Hao fell silent.

"Heh, it seems my good Older Brother sees you as the Future successor of the Dao lineage. Indeed, after more than three thousand years of propagation and Incense, our Jiang Family's Progenitor should be resurrected soon. The Incense from now on can be used to help you Sage Entry."

Jiang Lichen sat in the Small Courtyard, eating and drinking from a small wine jug, looking extremely relaxed and content.

Seeing his Carefree State demeanor, Li Hao asked:

"Didn't you say you were going to slash him with your sword? Why did you run away when he came over?"

Shortly before Yu Emperor arrived, Jiang Lichen seemed to have sensed it and ran off in advance, saying he was going for a walk outside.

They only returned silently after Yu Emperor left, which made Li Hao a little curious.

"Hmph, I'll cut him down with that sword sooner or later, but as I said, I can only cut him down after I bring you back from the Mo River. In other words, you have to be in trouble, and I have to save you before I can cut him down. Otherwise, I'm not as shameless as him. I always mean what I say!"

Jiang Lichen said proudly.

But to Li Hao, these words sounded like a child showing off.

"You probably don't dare to cut him down..." Li Hao looked at him suspiciously. "You must have sensed His Majesty's level of cultivation?"

"What nonsense are you spouting?!" Jiang Lichen roared in fury.

Li Hao smiled and said, "Don't get excited, don't get excited."

"What's there to be afraid of? He personally promised me I could cut it, why shouldn't I dare?!" Jiang Lichen said angrily.

Li Hao thought for a moment and said, "That's true."

Jiang Lichen's expression softened, and he coldly snorted, "Once I Sword Dao path, I won't need Incense. I'll use my sword to Path of Sacrifice. So what if Sage? I'll still chop you down!"

"You're still quite far from it."

Li Hao spoke bluntly, then immediately asked, "You just mentioned resurrecting the Progenitor, what's the situation? Is it a secret of your Imperial Family? You just blurted it out so easily?"

"So what? What if I'm exposed? What does it have to do with me? I've said it before, the All Under Heaven is none of my concern. If you can sharpen my sword, I'd gladly slaughter everyone in the All Under Heaven without batting an eye!"

Jiang Lichen snorted coldly.

Li Hao raised an eyebrow slightly. No wonder this Ninth Prince was called the Sword Demon; he was indeed quite insane.
