Xia Hai: Every Question Leaves Him Speechless

To speak or not to speak, that is a question worth considering.

But Huang Zhan clearly didn't intend to give Xia Hai much time to think.

She simply looked at Xia Hai with a smile.

The smile, as gentle as a breeze, sent a chill through Xia Hai.

After much deliberation, I realized I had no choice.

Xia Hai's heart skipped a beat.

He understood the meaning of this Huang Zhan.

But this is also a good opportunity to prove one's innocence.

He was completely sincere and had absolutely no intention of cursing anyone.

At that moment, Xia Hai took a deep breath and said:

"Xiang Li will definitely obtain the inheritance of the Five Elements Saint Emperor; there won't be any surprises!"

The words had barely left his mouth.

The gazes of all parties looking at Xia Hai suddenly held a greater degree of sympathy.

At the same time, it carries a sense of vigilance.

It's best to stay out of the business between these powerful forces.

Otherwise, they might end up like the Xia Clan chief, neither being human nor anything else.

"Okay, okay."

Xiang Ge responded, glancing at Huang Zhan, and sneered:

"Huang Zhan, is this all you've got left?"

Huang Zhan seemed completely unconcerned, simply smiling.

"Xia Clan's words are very effective; your Xiang Clan can rest assured now."

Xiang Ge intended to respond in some way.

Xiang Qingcang, however, used telepathy to stop him.

"There's no need to waste your breath on him."

After speaking, Xiang Qingcang's gaze swept across the field, and he slowly said:

"The Five Elements Saint Emperor left behind numerous opportunities, benefiting countless future cultivators. Now, his legacy is available to all cultivators in the world, who have the chance to obtain it based on their strength and fortune."

"Although my grandson Xiang Li possesses extraordinary abilities, this matter has not yet begun, and it is too early to draw conclusions. For now, I welcome all parties to compete for the Saint Emperor's succession. I can also take this opportunity to urge Xiang Li to work even harder."

After a pause, Xiang Qingcang looked at Huang Zhan and said:

"I've heard that the Huang Clan has produced an outstanding junior in this generation. With your Huang Clan's cultivation, supplemented by the inheritance of the Five Elements Saint Emperor, it's likely that this junior of your Huang Clan will go even further than his predecessors."

His voice was flat, without much emotional fluctuation, and even sounded quite sincere.

And just these words immediately made countless forces present show a look of emotion on their faces.

Ultimately, it has to be this Saint Emperor who led the Xiang Clan to rapid development; the father is far superior to the son.

"Yes, by retreating in order to advance, he not only resolved the situation but also shifted the pressure back to the Huang Clan. Moreover, throughout the entire process, even though he was the Saint Emperor, he did not use his power to oppress anyone. It's truly remarkable. Compared to his father, Xiang Ge still hasn't mastered this skill."

"That's not surprising. To become Saint Emperor and lead the Xiang Clan to become and solidify its position as a top power, how could he not have some ability and means?"

Lu Changzhi also glanced at Xiang Qingcang again.

The difference between Xiang Ge and Xiang Qingcang is indeed very obvious.

"That makes sense. If it were someone like Xiang Ge, the Xiang Clan probably wouldn't have achieved its current status."

Lu Changzhi said softly, then looked at Huang Zhan.

"The world is full of talented people and geniuses. As for our Huang Clan Huang Zhan, I'm afraid we have no hope whatsoever, so I won't presume to teach you."

Huang Zhan spoke frankly and sincerely, making everyone feel ashamed.

The Huang Clan has always been quite domineering.

How could things have turned out like this...?

Some people vaguely realized something, looked around, and finally their eyes turned to Lu Changzhi.

At this moment, Huang Zhan changed the subject, looking at Xia Hai not far away, and said:

"Didn't your Xia Clan produce a genius not long ago?"

"I heard that it even brought auspicious omens from the sky, with golden light filling the heavens?"

The words had barely left his mouth.

Xia Hai's face immediately turned bitter; he barely managed to hold it in, nearly going crazy.

No, why are you two dragging my poor Xia Clan into this mess?

Auspicious omens descend from the sky? Golden light fills the heavens?

???

That was the fall of a precious Saint King!

Xia Hai took a deep breath, but ultimately said nothing.

You can't say anything, or someone might say something else about you.

At this moment.

Many powerful figures and students from the Academy arrived from afar.

All eyes turned to them.

Most of them are searching.

But soon, many expressions of disappointment appeared.

At the Law Contemplation Gathering, Kong Mu, who had pinned Xiang Li to the ground and obtained the inheritance of the Myriad Laws Saint Emperor, was surprisingly absent!

"What a pity. If Kong Mu were to take it again, it would be quite a show," someone murmured, then looked in the direction of the Xiang Clan.

The Xiang Clan has grown too powerful in recent years, and not all forces can accept or be satisfied with the status quo.

Having someone to keep things in check is actually a very good thing.

"However, Kong Mu's master has arrived. Perhaps, along with the other disciples who came with him, they can take it?"

Some people turned their attention back to Lu Changzhi, with a hint of speculation.

After the Academy members arrived, they found a spot and waited.

This was neither a banquet nor a grand event; all parties were there to seek their own interests, so there wasn't much to exchange.

Soon, the area returned to a relatively quiet state.

Meanwhile, Lu Changzhi kept a close eye on the situation of everyone around him.

It has been quite some time, but there is still no disciple who meets the requirements for accepting apprentices.

Time passed little by little.

Soon, night Descent.

A night will pass in the blink of an eye.

"It seems it will have to be tomorrow."

After dinner and resting for a while, Lu Changzhi lay down.

And just then...

Suddenly, a sound came from the ground below.

The sound was rather muffled, causing the ground below to tremble slightly.

The countless people who had been waiting suddenly perked up.

It's about to appear!

One excited voice after another rang out.

Lu Changzhi remained silent for a moment.

I never expected it to be turned on in the middle of the night.

"Looks like I'll have to stay up a bit later this time."

Lu Changzhi sat up.

Knock knock knock.

From the ground below, muffled thuds emanated rhythmically, and the ground tremors became significantly stronger than before.

This commotion continued for about ten breaths.

Suddenly, a light appeared out of nowhere from the void above.

Five rays of light, each corresponding to a different element, were positioned in a different direction, their dazzling brilliance drawing attention in the night.

After the five beams of light appeared, they began to rotate slowly, not very fast, but exuding a sense of mystery.

Lu Changzhi glanced at it.

Then he looked at it intently for a few more moments.

"The previous Five Elements Sacred Physique did indeed possess something."

This place was definitely the right choice.

Although taking Qin Li as his disciple provided him with a great deal of cultivation knowledge, Qin Li's cultivation focused on killing and was biased towards the Geng metal element.

The benefits to cultivating the Five Elements Sacred Physique are relatively limited.

However, Chen Wangdao's inheritance is different. Both possess the Five Elements Sacred Physique, which, to a certain extent, can be said to be tailor-made for him.
