Chapter 6019 Meeting
Inside the attic, the atmosphere was very different from the gloomy atmosphere outside.
After the initial shock and sadness, Yu Ranran quickly immersed herself in the gentle comfort and sweetness of their time together.
In his view, even though his father was angry, he finally compromised and tacitly agreed to .
This further convinced him that as long as he and she truly loved each other, his father would accept them sooner or later.
“Don’t be afraid. With me here, Daddy won’t dare hurt you.”
Yu Ranran leaned into his embrace, her slender fingers gently stroking his slightly furrowed brows, her eyes filled with sadness and determination. “Once Dad’s anger subsides, I’ll go and beg him to officially acknowledge you. You’re so outstanding, Dad will definitely agree.”
He chuckled internally, but his face showed genuine emotion as he held Ranran’s hand: “I’m so sorry you had to go through all this, Ranran. For me, you, and your father…”
“Don’t say that!”
Yu Ranran covered her mouth, her eyes sparkling, “I’m willing to do anything for you. And… Dad… has actually had a hard time these years.”
“Every time the messengers of the gods come, my father has to deal with them with caution. I can sense his displeasure.”
He returned to discussing the Protoss.
His heart sank slightly, and he took the opportunity to ask, “Is the God Race… really that terrifying? Even a force like the Jade Divine Palace has to rely on them?”
Yu Ranran sighed, her eyes slightly dimmed: “It’s more than just bowing to them… Father is indeed the head of the prefecture, but in reality, he has to obey the orders of the gods in many things.”
“Whenever the divine messengers came, they were majestic and mighty, and my father and the other elders had to greet them with respect.”
“They demand offerings, issue orders, and vent their anger at the slightest disobedience.”
“I heard that several disobedient medium-sized armies were wiped out overnight by purifiers sent by the gods, leaving no one alive. So… Father had no choice.”
She pressed her cheek against his chest, her voice muffled: “Sometimes, I really wish my father could be like those legendary ancient mighty beings, free from anyone’s control and living a peaceful life… But the gods are too powerful.”
“The four Venerables who lead the Eastern Region Divine Punishment Hall are said to be top-level experts in the seventh rank of the Upper Immortal Realm. If they join forces, no one in the entire Azure Nether Immortal Continent can rival them. Father is just one person…”
patted her back gently, but his gaze deepened.
There were four seventh-level immortals… That was indeed a suffocating force.
However, it is not something that is unshakable.
With the power of chaos, coupled with his many trump cards and ever-increasing strength, he might be able to put up a fight.
Moreover, the stronger the enemy, the more important the secret that Senior Musa and his wife discovered, and the greater their desire to take revenge for this grudge!
In the following days, he seemed to live quietly in Xiuge Pavilion, reciting poetry and painting with Yu Ranran, discussing ancient books, and practicing together to comprehend the Dao. Occasionally, he would also use Yu Ranran to access some insensitive resources to continuously strengthen and improve his cultivation.
The surveillance agents sent by Yu Wuji found nothing suspicious, only a young couple in love, staying at home and enjoying their intimacy.
However, Yu Wuji himself was far from as calm as he appeared.
The secret room of Wuji Hall.
Yu Wuji listened to the reports from his trusted elders below with a grim expression.
“Sir, we have used our network of connections in the major immortal cities and sects to carefully sift through all the records and files of the ascension of the native cultivators of the Thirteen Heavens over the past hundred years, but we have not found anyone named with a Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivation level that fits our characteristics.”
“It’s certain that this person isn’t a native cultivator from the Thirteenth Heaven. It’s very likely that he recently smuggled himself out of the lower realm through unorthodox means.”
An elder in charge of intelligence spoke in a serious tone.
“Smuggled goods from the lower realm? How could a mere eighth-rank Immortal Lord possibly break through so many barriers, deceive the Imperial Guard, and enter the Thirteenth Heaven?” another elder asked.
“That’s exactly what’s strange.”
The intelligence elder said, “Furthermore, based on what Elder Wu saw that day, and our secret observations, this boy’s true combat strength is definitely more than just the Heavenly God Realm.”
“He could easily dispel the pressure from the Palace Lord, and even casually take the Palace Lord’s blow. His true strength is probably… no weaker than a Rank Six God!”
After those words were spoken, the secret room fell silent.
There are geniuses who are able to fight beyond their abilities, but being able to traverse the entire great realm and remain so calm is truly unprecedented!
“The cultivation method he practices and the power he uses are also very strange.”
Another elder added, “Gray, filled with an aura of annihilation, as if it could obliterate everything. We’ve consulted many ancient texts, but haven’t found any records that truly match it. This child must have a powerful teacher behind him, or have obtained some kind of astonishing inheritance!”
Yu Wuji tapped his fingers lightly on the cold star meteorite iron armrest, producing a rhythmic tapping sound.
His eyes were deep, his mind was in turmoil.
A mysterious cultivator from the lower realms, possessing immense power and carrying a vast treasure, who clearly has ulterior motives in courting his daughter…
Fei Qing’s disappearance and the deaths of the Tu brothers were most likely related to this person.
Is he aiming for the Jade Immortal Palace?
Or… the secret of the Fallen Soul Slope?
Or perhaps, the gods?
If the first one happens, it is nothing more than a feud or a struggle for interests.
If it’s either of the last two options… then things get complicated.
Deep inside his heart, Yu Wuji was indeed filled with anxiety and… hidden hatred towards the gods.
He worked hard to manage the Jade Immortal City and build its power, not to be someone else’s dog forever, to submit to others, to pay tribute regularly, and even to the point of having his most precious soul crystal taken when dealing with prisoners in his own territory!
Once he had ambitions to free himself from the control of the gods and truly become the ruler of the region.
However, the power of the gods was like a sword hanging over his head, making him not dare to move an inch.
He himself had witnessed the power of the four divine beings, and that power was immeasurable.
Compared to it, the Jade Immortal Palace was like a firefly compared to the bright moon.
But now… this sudden appearance was like a stone thrown into a calm pond, causing ripples.
His strange power and potential made Yu Wuji see a glimmer of… uncertainty.
What if… what if this, or the power behind it, actually had the potential to defy the gods?
Even the slightest possibility was worth Yu Wuji’s attention… and perhaps… secretly encouraging?
As this thought emerged, it grew wild in Yu Wuji’s heart.
He held this meeting of core elders not merely to discuss how to handle things, but to test the attitudes of his confidants and pave the way for the next choice he might make.
