Chapter 6087 I underestimated you
The hall was silent.
The twelve elders looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock and fear.
A low-level cultivator from the nether realm, who had just arrived at the fourteenth heaven, dared to storm the sacred mountain that the temple had been cultivating for ten thousand years. Surrounded by more than fifty mighty gods and elders who were reinforced by the blood sacrifice array, he managed to destroy three altars, kill the Golden Crown Venerable and dozens of guards, and finally escaped unharmed!
What kind of courage is that?
What kind of fighting force is this?
Shen Tong slowly sat back on his throne, his calm expression finally replaced by a slight gloom.
“That golden crown… has been with me for three hundred years.”
His voice was deep and unfathomable, “He’s cautious in his actions. Although his cultivation isn’t at the highest level, he never oversteps his bounds. I entrusted the Sacred Mountain to him because I trust him.”
He was silent for a moment. “He’s dead. All three altars were destroyed. Three hundred years of hard work, all gone in one day.”
Elder Hongyan said hurriedly, “Palace Master, now that David has revealed his whereabouts, we must immediately send troops to seal off the area within a ten thousand mile radius of the Sacred Mountain, and we will dig three feet deep into the ground to capture and kill him!”
The white-haired elder hesitated, then said, “Palace Master, if we launch a large-scale military campaign, the commotion will be too great, and the Divine Hall and Divine Palace will definitely notice. If they then use this as an excuse to cause trouble…”
“Using this as an excuse?”
Shen Tong sneered, “The Holy Mountain was attacked, the altar was destroyed, and I, the esteemed Temple Master, have to be so timid and hesitant to even chase after a murderer?”
The white-haired elder fell silent.
Shen Tong took a deep breath, suppressing the killing intent that was blazing in his heart.
“Publish my order!”
His voice suddenly turned stern: “First, mobilize all the elite troops from the seven cities of the Northern Region, under the command of Elder Hongyan, and seal off the area within a 30,000 li radius around the Sacred Mountain starting today. All cultivators entering and leaving the area will be strictly investigated!”
David was badly injured and couldn’t have gotten far; he must have hidden near the Holy Mountain to recover. We must find him, even if we have to scour the entire country!
Elder Hongyan bowed: “Your subordinate obeys!”
“Second, the Sacred Mountain Blood Sacrifice Formation must not be disturbed.”
The divine power’s gaze was cold. “The three destroyed altars must be repaired within three months. The necessary materials and blood offerings will be transferred from another branch altar on the sacred mountain.”
If there’s a shortage of manpower, draw on personnel from various branch temples. In short, whatever method you use, I want all eight altars fully operational again within three months!
“This……”
The white-haired elder in charge of the Sacred Mountain’s affairs looked anxious. “Palace Master, the materials needed to repair the altar aren’t too difficult to obtain, as each branch altar has its own reserves. However, the blood sacrifice array requires a large amount of life essence, blood, and soul power as catalysts, and we need to gather sufficient offerings within three months…”
Shen Tong looked at him coldly.
The white-haired elder’s heart pounded, and he immediately lowered his head: “Your subordinate obeys.”
“Third,” Shen Tong’s voice grew colder, “Issue an order to all temples and temple branches in the Fourteenth Heaven to list David as a top-level fugitive, effective immediately. A reward of 50,000 bottles of immortal liquid will be offered.”
He paused for a moment, then said, slowly and deliberately, “Fifty thousand bottles.”
“Fifty thousand bottles?!” The elders gasped in astonishment.
This amount is enough to tempt even the best ninth-level expert in the Upper Immortal Realm, and might even tempt some rogue cultivators to take the risk!
“Also.”
Shen Tong continued, “Spread the news that David possesses the Golden Dragon bloodline and the power of chaos as widely as possible. We were hesitant to act too cautiously before, but now that he’s come to our doorstep, we might as well just go with the flow.”
A cold smile appeared on the corner of his lips: “A reward of 50,000 bottles of immortal liquid, plus the secret of the Golden Dragon bloodline and the power of chaos… I want to see how many people in the entire Fourteenth Heaven want his head.”
The elders all agreed.
Elder Hongyan accepted the order and set out to prepare to mobilize troops to seal off the sacred mountain.
The white-haired elder also hurriedly left the hall to begin preparations for the restoration of the altar.
The other elders carried out their respective duties and then took their leave.
Soon, only Shen Tong was left in the main hall.
He sat alone on a high golden throne, looking down at the empty hall, his face ashen.
After a long time, he muttered to himself:
“David… David…”
He said the name as if he were chewing a piece of raw meat he couldn’t chew.
“I underestimated you.”
He slowly clenched his fist, golden divine light flowing in his palm, and the faint shadows of disappearing stars could be seen.
“However, do you think destroying the altar on the sacred mountain will thwart my grand plan?”
He laughed coldly.
“There is more than one holy mountain. And the Ghost Mountain Wept by Saints is not the only one.”
He raised his hand and pointed into the air.
A golden talisman emerged from his fingertips, turned into a beam of light, pierced through the roof of the palace, and flew into the sky.
The talisman flew towards the deepest part of the Fourteenth Heaven, where another sacred mountain was located.
