Chapter 836: Great Immortal Zhenyuan's Target / Chapter 837: Coming to the Heavenly Court to Demand Answers ...

However, this reason was something neither the Heavenly Emperor Haotian nor Grand Supreme Elder Lao could possibly say in front of Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi.

Moreover, at this moment, Venerable Kashyapa of the Western Buddhist Sect was also standing beside Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi.

If they revealed the reason, they would inevitably expose Senior Wu Feng.

Therefore, when faced with Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi's questions, the Heavenly Emperor Haotian and Grand Supreme Elder Lao both fell silent.

It was precisely because of this that, upon seeing the Heavenly Emperor Haotian and Grand Supreme Elder Lao fall silent, Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi became even more certain that the two of them were hiding something.

Combined with what Venerable Kashyapa had said earlier, Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi had, in that instant, already reached a firm conclusion.

The matter of the Ginseng Fruit Tree gaining sentience in his Wuzhuang Temple was most likely the work of the Heavenly Court.

Seeing that Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi's expression had changed, the Heavenly Emperor Haotian also understood that if he did not provide a reasonable explanation, Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi would probably not leave so easily.

He might even cause a disturbance in the Heavenly Palace. That was not impossible.

After all, the Ginseng Fruit Tree was Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi's most treasured possession.

Thus, the Heavenly Emperor Haotian spoke:

"The matter of the Ginseng Fruit Tree gaining sentience in Wuzhuang Temple has nothing to do with our Heavenly Court."

"After all, if I were capable of cultivating a Quasi-Saint-level powerhouse, I would have already attained sainthood."

The Heavenly Emperor Haotian's reason was indeed extremely reasonable.

After all, the Heavenly Emperor Haotian was merely a Quasi-Saint. Therefore, even if he had acted in the matter of the Ginseng Fruit Tree in Wuzhuang Temple, the tree's strength could not possibly have reached the Quasi-Saint level.
