Inside the main hall of the Battle Heaven Pavilion sect in the Ninefold Heaven.
The Water Race Saint Emperor Miao Shanrou and the Saint Emperor of the Wood Clan Lin Miaoyin chatted and laughed with Liu Ling'er in the main hall.
To win a smile from Liu Ling'er, the two women even revealed embarrassing stories from their childhood.
This is a heartwarming scene of people chatting about everyday life.
There was no Saint Emperor; it was just a daughter-in-law trying to please her mother-in-law.
Little did they know that a harmonious atmosphere prevailed inside the main hall.
But in the First Heaven, something caused an uproar.
The scene of the two Saint Emperor paying their respects to Liu Ling'er in front of the Battle Heaven Pavilion sect.
This was spotted by spies who were constantly monitoring the movements of the Battle Heaven Pavilion.
When this news reached the First Heaven, it immediately caused a huge sensation.
The main hall of the Thunder Clan, First Heaven!
The other six Saint Emperor immediately convened an emergency meeting because of Miao Shanrou and Lin Miaoyin's visit to Liu Ling'er.
The Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor sat on the head seat, his deep gaze sweeping over the other Saint Emperor below.
"Everyone, I'm sure you all know about the visit of the Water Race Saint Emperor and the Saint Emperor of the Wood Clan to Lin Heng's mother."
What are your thoughts on this matter?
As soon as Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor finished speaking, Fire Separation Saint Emperor immediately took over the conversation.
"According to the scouts, the two men came to express their gratitude to Lin Heng for saving their lives in the forbidden area."
"But that's understandable."
"But the Water Race Saint Emperor and the Saint Emperor of the Wood Clan actually went to visit Lin Heng's mother instead."
"Especially since he even bowed to Liu Ling'er, who was merely at the Heavenly Venerable Realm."
This is utterly absurd and utterly ridiculous.
"They've completely disgraced even us, the Eight Great Saint Emperors."
Upon hearing Fire Separation Saint Emperor's words, the other Saint Emperor all shared his anger.
The mighty and incomparably noble Saint Emperor of the Nine Heavens.
Now you're actually bowing to Liu Ling'er, who's only at the Heavenly Venerable Realm?
This is, of course, only a matter between the Water Race Saint Emperor and the Saint Emperor of the Wood Clan.
But Fire Separation Saint Emperor and the others also could not tolerate it.
The Heaven Yang Clan Saint Emperor also spoke at this moment.
"In my opinion, we should head to the Battle Heaven Pavilion now."
"Then they forcibly brought back the Water Race Saint Emperor and the Saint Emperor of the Wood Clan."
"We must not allow them to tarnish the reputation of the Eight Great Imperial Clans again."
The other Saint Emperor all nodded in agreement.
In an instant, everyone turned to look at the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor, waiting for him to make a decision.
However, on this matter, the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor did not agree to the proposal of the Heaven Yang Clan Saint Emperor.
"Everyone, have you considered this? What if we just head to the Battle Heaven Pavilion like this and forcibly bring back the Water Race Saint Emperor and the Saint Emperor of the Wood Clan?"
"What will the other people in the Nine Heavens think?"
The Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor were merely a hint; the other Saint Emperor immediately understood.
Such methods would undoubtedly lead people to believe that the Eight Great Saint Emperors are fighting amongst themselves.
Especially considering their status and position as the Water Race Saint Emperor and the Saint Emperor of the Wood Clan.
If we really go that far, it would be a public slap in their face.
If things go wrong, it could really end up with the Eight Great Imperial Clans splitting apart.
After a few seconds of silence, the Fire Separation Saint Emperor Huo Li asked:
" Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor, but we can't just ignore this matter, can we?"
"If it's the Water Race Saint Emperor and the Saint Emperor of the Wood Clan, do they truly have some connection with the Battle Heaven Pavilion?"
"At that point, with the balance of power shifting, wouldn't our families be waiting to be wiped out by the Ascenders?"
Fire Separation Saint Emperor's words carried a sense of shared sorrow, which immediately drew responses from the Saint Emperor.
"We must not allow these two to affect the unity of our Eight Great Imperial Clans."
"If all else fails, we'll join forces and kill them."
"Then bring back the two Origin Spirit Pearl and select a new Saint Emperor from their two races."
The Earth Yin Clan's Saint Emperor's cold suggestion was met with nods of approval from the majority of those present.
When it comes to matters of vital interest, the friendship of the Eight Great Saint Emperors is nothing but a joke.
The Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor remained silent.
About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea has passed.
Only then did he make his decision.
"Everyone, I think we should wait until the Water Race Saint Emperor and the Saint Emperor of the Wood Clan return to the First Heaven."
"We'll ask them in person."
"If those two truly intend to submit to the Battle Heaven Pavilion."
"Then let's just kill them on the spot."
The others were somewhat unwilling to accept the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor's decision.
But after thinking it over, he finally agreed to both.
Meanwhile, at the summit of the mountain behind the Firmament Hall.
Beneath a lush pine tree.
Ao Zhantian and Qin Hongmian sat facing each other, drinking tea.
"Sister Hongmian, what are your thoughts on the matter of the Water Race Saint Emperor and the Saint Emperor of the Wood Clan?"
While Ao Zhantian Qin Hongmian's tea, Ao Zhantian casually asked her a question.
When this was mentioned, Qin Hongmian's face was full of smiles.
" Lin Heng really is always surprising us."
" The Water Race Saint Emperor and the Saint Emperor of the Wood Clan have never been known to have any entanglements with any man in countless years."
"Now these two Saint Emperor are actually visiting Lin Heng's mother at the same time."
"They even bowed to Lin Heng's mother."
Even a fool could see what they were thinking.
Qin Hongmian was naturally pleased that someone from the Ascenders faction had managed to capture both female Saint Emperor.
Doesn't this inadvertently weaken the power of the Eight Great Imperial Clans?
Ao Zhantian then shared his thoughts.
"But I can see it."
" Lin Heng's mind is only on cultivation."
"Perhaps he had no interest in those two Saint Emperor at all."
"Moreover, the Holy Water Race Saint Emperor and the Saint Emperor of the Wood Clan openly bowed to Liu Ling'er."
"This matter has probably also reached the ears of the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor and others."
"I just received news that the other five Saint Emperor have already headed to the Lei Clan, presumably to discuss this matter."
After hearing this, Qin Hongmian raised her teacup, took a small sip of her red lips from the rim, and then looked up at Ao Zhantian.
"That's none of our concern."
" Zhantian, remember, the only person we need to care about is Lin Heng."
"If he truly cared about those two Saint Emperor, he wouldn't hesitate to go to war with Fire Separation Saint Emperor and the others for them."
"Then let's lend him a hand."
"Since Lin Heng hasn't made a move either, let's just observe."
Ao Zhantian sighed and could only nod.
His original intention was to take this opportunity to see if he could cause the Eight Great Saint Emperors to split apart.
However, judging from Qin Hongmian's expression, she did not think this approach was feasible.
Qin Hongmian's composure was naturally due to her own reasons.
If one day Lin Heng really does get entangled with these two Saint Emperor...
They might then stand against the Eight Great Imperial Clans for Lin Heng.
As things stand at the moment...
The Water Race Saint Emperor and the Saint Emperor of the Wood Clan only harbored feelings of goodwill towards Lin Heng.
This alone is not enough to stir up any trouble.
It is even more impossible for the Eight Great Imperial Clans to be divided.
Similarly, the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor had the same idea.
That's why he didn't agree to take direct action against the two Saint Emperor.
After all, once the killing is carried out, these two will certainly no longer be a problem.
But who can guarantee there won't be any follow-up troubles?
Could the Water Race and the Wood Clan remain indifferent to the murder of their Saint Emperor?
Wouldn't it be even more dangerous if the newly chosen Saint Emperor harbored hostility?
A single hair can affect the whole situation; the more important something is, the less you should rush into it.
