Chapter 6076 Using a borrowed knife to kill
…………
Fourteenth Heaven, the Temple.
This magnificent temple hangs thousands of feet in the sky, supported by 9,999 white jade pillars, each carved with lifelike patterns of mythological creatures.
Around the temple, auspicious clouds swirled, cranes flew to and fro, and divine generals in golden armor patrolled from time to time, exuding an imposing aura.
The atmosphere in the main hall felt solemn.
Lin Wuchen and Yue Liuli knelt in front of the hall. Although their wounds had healed, their faces were still pale.
In the hall, twelve temple elders sat on either side, each emitting a terrifying aura of the peak of the ninth rank of the Upper Immortal Realm.
On a golden throne in the center of the room sat a middle-aged man wearing a golden purple divine robe.
The man had a dignified face, and his eyes seemed to hold the sparkle of stars. He didn’t deliberately exude any aura, but just sitting there, he seemed like the center of the entire world.
This person was none other than the Temple Master, a True Immortal Realm expert with supernatural power!
“waste!”
A red-haired elder slammed his fist on the table and glared at Lin Wuchen and his companion angrily: “Two Rank Seven Gods, carrying divine sealing talismans, were actually defeated by a low-level brat! You even lost a Great Venerable and 300,000 divine soldiers! You have truly disgraced the Temple!”
Lin Wuchen lowered his head and remained silent, while Yue Liuli gritted her teeth and said, “Elder Hongyan, it’s not that we’re incompetent, but David is truly a freak! He possesses the Golden Dragon bloodline and wields the power of chaos, making his combat power far exceed his cultivation level!”
“Golden Dragon bloodline?” Another white-haired elder frowned. “The Golden Dragon clan has been extinct for tens of thousands of years. How could it possibly appear in the lower realm?”
“So true!”
Lin Wuchen raised his head, “This disciple himself witnessed him transform into a five-clawed golden dragon. The strength of his bloodline is so strong that even this disciple’s God King bloodline is suppressed!”
A commotion broke out in the hall.
The Golden Dragon bloodline is a legendary supreme bloodline, even more noble than the bloodline of the gods’ kingdom!
If so, then David’s worth goes far beyond simply being a rebel in the underworld.
Shen Tong finally spoke, his voice calm yet filled with undeniable authority: “The destruction of the Path to Heaven and the loss of control over the Thirteen Heavens is indeed a serious matter. But there is no need for all of you to panic excessively.”
His gaze swept across the crowd: “The Fourteenth Heaven isn’t just dominated by our temple. The Divine Hall and the Divine Palace are eyeing us with greed, and there are also ancient powers that have hidden themselves from the world, all waiting for us to make a mistake. If we send a large number of people to the mortal realm now, it will definitely attract attention from all sides, and we might even be oppressed by all parties.”
Elder Hongyan said anxiously, “Palace Master, are we going to let that brat go just like that? He killed a Great Venerable and destroyed the Path to Heaven!”
“Besides, with the Path to Heaven destroyed, we won’t be able to obtain sufficient resources. How are we going to explain this to the God King?”
“Of course we won’t let the child go.”
Shen Wuji said calmly, “However, we need to be mindful of our methods. Outwardly, we can send a small team into the mortal realm under the pretext of hunting down the rebels, and act openly and legitimately.”
A cold flash flashed in his eyes: “However, over the years, our temple has handed over far more resources than the temples and palaces, so we are naturally not afraid of the wrath of the God King.”
“But Sir Palace Master,”
The white-haired elder pondered, “David possesses the Golden Dragon bloodline and the power of Chaos. Even if a small team were sent to the mortal realm, if he hid among the demon army, it would probably be difficult to kill him.”
Shen Wuji smiled faintly: “Who said we are going to kill him now?”
Everyone was shocked.
“The news of the appearance of the Golden Dragon bloodline in the world will soon spread throughout the Fourteenth Heaven.”
Shen Tong slowly said, “At that time, it won’t just be our temple that will be interested. Although the Golden Dragon Clan has been destroyed, its treasures, its secret realms, and its heritage… all of them are enough to tempt even True Immortal Realm experts.”
He paused for a moment, then continued, “We just need to fan the flames and spread the news. Naturally, various forces will send people to the mortal realm. No matter how strong David is, can he withstand the greed of the entire Fourteenth Heaven?”
The elders suddenly realized what was happening and exclaimed in admiration, “The Palace Master is truly wise!”
“Using other people to do the dirty work, and reaping the benefits without having to do any of the hard work—brilliant!”
Lin Wuchen and Yue Liuli exchanged glances, both seeing the coldness in each other’s eyes.
The Palace Lord’s plan was not only to kill David, but also to squeeze every last drop of value out of him!
“How is the situation on the Holy Mountain?” Shen Tong asked!
The white-haired elder hurriedly said, “Palace Master, the eight altars on the Holy Mountain have been completed, and a large number of pilgrims are now heading towards the Holy Mountain!”
“Yes, very good!”
Shen Tong nodded, then looked at Lin Wuchen and Yue Liuli and said, “Wuchen, Liuli, you should have been punished for failing this mission. But considering you brought back important information, you will be exempt from punishment. Go and recuperate. Once you have recovered, you will be given a new mission.”
“Thank you, Lord Palace Master!” The two bowed and respectfully left.
After exiting the main hall, Yue Liuli finally breathed a sigh of relief; her back was already drenched in cold sweat.
“Senior sister, Lord of the Palace…” he hesitated.
Lin Wuchen shook his head and transmitted his voice, “We can’t fathom the Palace Master’s thoughts. Just do your job. As for David… someone will handle him.”
Both of them turned into streaks of light and disappeared into the depths of the temple.
