Chapter 23: The Arrival of the Elder from Luo Heaven Sect - The North is About to Change

Upon hearing the guard's report, Emperor Wu Feiyang of Moro Kingdom was momentarily taken aback. Soon, he realized that this unexpected visit signified trouble. Luo Heaven Sect must have already received news of the chief disciple and elder's demise!

"Invite him in," Wu Feiyang swiftly composed himself and instructed the guard.

However, before the guard could leave, a figure sauntered into the hall unceremoniously.

"No need," said the visitor. "This old man entered the palace without permission. I hope Your Majesty won't take offense."

The visitor was none other than the Second Elder of Luo Heaven Sect, dressed in Daoist robes and wearing a kindly expression, speaking in a courteous manner.

Yet, Emperor Wu Feiyang wasn't foolish enough to believe the elder was genuinely apologizing.

"Elder, you are being too humble. When an esteemed elder like yourself visits, it is only right for me, the Emperor, to welcome you personally. I must have been impolite," Emperor Wu Feiyang replied politely.

As Wu Feiyang spoke, he made a slight gesture to dismiss all the people present. Under the eaves, one had no choice but to bow their head.

As long as Luo Heaven Sect existed, Emperor Wu Feiyang of Moro Kingdom had no option but to comply with their demands. After all, he lacked the might and strength of others, particularly in terms of physical power.

Of course, he meant that in terms of physical strength.

"I presume Your Majesty can already guess my purpose here," said the Second Elder. His smile remained unchanged as he casually found a spot to sit, behaving as though he were the master of the place.

"I've guessed a little. Is the Second Elder here to investigate the incident concerning the death of the chief disciple and two elders?"

Wu Feiyang continued, but the Second Elder didn't respond. Instead, he looked at him with a smile, indicating that he wanted to hear more.

As the Emperor, others usually tried to fathom his thoughts, but every time he faced someone from Luo Heaven Sect, he could only speculate about their intentions. This feeling left Wu Feiyang quite dissatisfied, yet he had no other choice.

At this moment, he wished Leng Yanran could take action half a month earlier and destroy Luo Heaven Sect today, without leaving a single survivor!

However reluctant he felt, he could only plaster a smiling face and recount in detail the recent events that occurred within the capital.

Initially, the Second Elder maintained a smile, but as he heard about Leng Yanran using her divine ability from a jade pendant to kill one of the elders, he furrowed his brows.

"Today, Leng Yanran's family spread a message that Luo Heaven Sect should prepare to face annihilation in half a month. The news has already spread throughout the city. I wonder if the Elder needs me to order the sealing of this information to protect Luo Heaven Sect's reputation and prestige?"

Wu Feiyang said with a respectful demeanor, as though he was genuinely concerned for Luo Heaven Sect.

"Heh, bold words to annihilate Luo Heaven Sect in half a month! There's no need to seal the information. When the time comes, if he dares to show his face, Luo Heaven Sect will naturally show the world the cost of opposing us! Hmph!"

The Second Elder replied coldly, dismissing any further conversation and leaving with a sweep of his sleeves.

"Farewell, Second Elder," Wu Feiyang bid him farewell with a slight bow, displaying an air of utmost respect.

Only after confirming that the Second Elder had completely left the palace grounds did Emperor Wu Feiyang put away his respectful demeanor and returned to his usual indifferent expression.

"Hehe, this is going to be interesting. I wonder if that person will personally take action. I really want to witness the terrifying divine ability of such an existence!"

A hint of amusement flashed in Wu Feiyang's eyes.

When he answered the Second Elder's questions earlier, he had spoken the truth about every matter except for one – the true strength of the person who made that move!

Annihilation Realm of the Second or Third Heaven?

That strike was a level of horror he had never seen before. In truth, it far exceeded the capabilities of the Annihilation Realm!

But if he told the truth and the Second Elder believed him, Luo Heaven Sect would back down, and that mysterious individual might abandon his plan to annihilate Luo Heaven Sect. In that case, Wu Feiyang would suffer a massive loss.

"This Northern Region is going to change..."

Wu Feiyang felt a little uneasy at the thought of a mysterious and powerful figure appearing in the Northern Region, one who was even above the Annihilation Realm.

After the Second Elder left the palace, he didn't dare linger for even a moment and went straight toward the direction of Luo Heaven Sect. After all, there might be a hidden, mysterious Annihilation Realm expert near the capital, and based on the current information, that was most likely an enemy!

For the Second Elder of Luo Heaven Sect, this was extremely dangerous.

Therefore, he didn't even dare to go to Leng Yanran's house to take a look at the mark left behind by the Sky Monument on the ground. Otherwise, he and Luo Heaven Sect might have changed their minds.
