An Elusive Master of the Hidden World
The deaths of these two near-immortals left everyone with complex expressions, numb with shock.
Everything that happened today was beyond their imagination.
"I finally understand. What the Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land said about the Southern Domain possessing the power to awe everything was true..."
The Holy Lord Cihang murmured to herself, her beautiful eyes filled with solemnity, and bowed deeply to Mu Qianning:
"Cihang Holy Monastery pays homage to the Goddess!"
"I was previously misled by the Luofu Holy Land and the Divine Sword Sect, and almost went astray. Please forgive me, Goddess!"
The Kongming Holy Master the Western Desert also chanted a Buddhist prayer, saying, "Now I know that the True Buddha is in the Southern Domain!"
He clasped his hands together respectfully and said, "Greetings, Goddess!"
Even the taciturn Dugu Chenlu bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Goddess, for ridding us of this great evil!"
In an instant, all the factions present spoke up!
"Greetings, Goddess!"
"Greetings, Goddess!"
They worshipped!
When they first arrived in the Southern Domain, no one understood why the prestigious Taiyan Holy Land and Ziyang Holy Land would show such respect to two young people who weren't even Venerable.
They even doubted the power claimed by the two holy lands to be enough to awe everything!
Now they are completely subdued, and they understand completely!
Taiyan Holy Land? Ziyang Holy Land?
The true masters of the Southern Domain are not them at all!
It's not the girl, but the terrifying entity behind her!
A few casually bestowed artifacts could annihilate True Immortal, and a few useless disciples could instantly become unparalleled masters... Everyone found it completely unimaginable!
Seeing this, Mu Qianning was somewhat taken aback and quickly said, "You're all too kind, there's no need for that."
"We are all cultivators from the Profound Heaven Realm, sharing the same origin. As long as we can get along harmoniously, that will be fine."
Upon hearing this, the group of Holy Lord and Sect Master all looked solemn. "We will certainly remember the Goddess's teachings!"
Now, they practically regard Mu Qianning's words as divine law!
It is inviolable!
Offending this Goddess is tantamount to offending the being behind her...
Upon hearing this, Mu Qianning smiled happily.
She was at ease as long as everyone could live in peace.
"This fight was not in vain."
Huo Ling'er smiled and said, "Qian Ning, we should go back and report to our senior."
Mu Qianning nodded and looked at Long Zixuan and Lu Rang.
The two had returned to the main stage and were walking over with smiles on their faces.
The various Sect Master showed them the utmost respect and made way for them!
Everyone understands that these two must also be backed by that powerful figure...
"Let's go, we should head back."
Long Zixuan spoke.
Lu Rang laughed, "That was a really exciting fight, haha... Let's go back."
The group then turned to leave.
"Zixuan..."
At that moment, a voice rang out, tinged with trepidation.
Long Zixuan turned around.
Then, the Sacred Dragon Dynasty's Emperor Long Xiaotian approached, a hint of nervousness on his face, and said, "My son, I am truly pleased that you have grown to this point... I have decided to make you the Crown Prince!"
"Come back to the dynasty with me, you are the pride of our dynasty!!"
He gave a direct promise!
Before this, although she had this son, she never paid any attention to him!
For him, Emperor of his generation, the birth of Long Zixuan was an insult!
The dragon soul is shattered, rendering cultivation impossible.
For this reason, he even deposed Long Zixuan's mother, banished her to the cold palace, and married a proud and beautiful woman as his new empress!
Hearing Long Xiaotian's words, Empress Gu Shi's face turned ugly!
This means that none of her sons will be able to inherit the throne...
She was heartbroken and extremely resentful, but she dared not show it at that moment.
Because Long Zixuan is now a genius of unparalleled talent, and has gained the favor of a terrifying being. His ascension to the throne can guarantee another glorious era for the Sacred Dragon Dynasty!
Upon hearing this, Long Zixuan glanced at Long Xiaotian.
A complex emotion flickered in his eyes.
But, it quickly turned cold.
"I once hoped you would say that, when I was driven out of the palace, when I was suppressed by them, when I watched my mother die in the cold palace and no one cared!"
"Back then, I so wished you could fulfill your responsibilities as a father and a husband."
"But unfortunately you don't."
Long Zixuan's words were cold!
Long Xiaotian's face was grim. He said, "No matter what, you are still my son!"
"The dynasty raised you; now it is your turn to repay the dynasty and your father!"
Upon hearing this, Long Zixuan coldly replied:
"The dynasty raised me? Sorry, all I got from the Sacred Dragon Dynasty was ridicule."
"A kind father will raise a filial son; a heartless father will raise an unrighteous son."
With a flick of his hand, he tore his robe.
"Our father-son relationship is severed from this day forward. You become your Emperor, and I will pursue my Immortal Destiny. We owe each other nothing!"
His words were as cold as a knife. "As for those in the dynasty who owe my mother... one day, I will come and demand justice from them one by one!"
After saying that, he left without looking back!
The light of hope in Long Xiaotian's eyes dimmed instantly, and he was plunged into endless regret...
Why...
On the other side, the Empress was trembling all over.
It's over.
Long Zixuan is now blessed with great fortune, possesses unparalleled talent, and is favored by extraordinary figures... His past actions...
Huo Ling'er and the other three eventually left.
The major powers present were still in shock.
"Brother Ling Chao, Brother Yuan Yang, you kept this from us for so long, so very long!"
Holy Lord Cihang couldn't help but speak, a hint of sorrow in her beautiful eyes.
"Yes, if we had known there was such a being in the Southern Domain, we would never have messed around with Cao Yijian and his group..."
"No wonder they were so dishonest; we made the wrong choice."
Many others also spoke up, all expressing their deep feelings.
"In fact, the Yuanyang Holy Lord and the Holy Lord Lingchao have already made it clear to us that there is a power in the Southern Domain that can intimidate everything, but we just didn't truly believe it."
Kongming Holy Master then spoke, a glimmer of hope in his old eyes, and said, "Two Holy Lord, could you please introduce us to this senior?"
"Yes, we'd like to meet them too!"
"If such a senior could even offer us some guidance, it would be an invaluable blessing!"
Many people also strongly requested it.
Now, everyone admires and is filled with curiosity about the being hidden behind the Southern Domain.
That was someone who surpassed even True Immortal...
However, the Yuanyang Holy Lord and the Holy Lord Lingchao shook their heads and said, "We understand everyone's feelings, but that senior... even we are not qualified to pay our respects!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions became even more complicated.
"May I ask, Your Holy Lord, there was a rumor circulating that a peerless master was taking on a disciple on the outskirts of the Cangli Mountain Range... Did you release this information?"
At this moment, Dugu Chenlu suddenly spoke!
Upon hearing him mention it, everyone's expressions instantly changed, and they remembered it, while anxiously watching Ling Chao and Yuan Yang's answers!
Previously, all the major forces had received this rumor, but no one cared. Some even believed it was a conspiracy by the Taiyan Holy Land and the Ziyang Holy Land to harm the geniuses of the major forces.
But now, everyone is suddenly thinking about far too many things!
There truly is a peerless master in the Southern Domain!
Could this be the one rumored to be living in seclusion on the outskirts of the Cangli Mountain Range?
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yang and Ling Chao exchanged a glance, a complex smile appearing in their eyes.
We have two pieces of news to share.
Yuan Yang spoke, saying:
"Firstly, Lu Rang was originally an outer disciple of the Divine Sword Sect. Because his cultivation was low, only at the Foundation Establishment, the Divine Sword Sect sent him to explore the outer reaches of the Cangli Mountain Range."
"Secondly, Young Master Long Zixuan is a deposed prince of the Sacred Dragon Dynasty, as everyone knows. Similarly, not long ago, the Sacred Dragon Dynasty also sent him to the outskirts of the Cangli Mountain Range to fend for himself..."
Yuan Yang finished speaking slowly.
Everyone in the room suddenly realized what was going on!
"So that reclusive master really was..."
