Chapter 478 - 476: Earth Realm Third Layer! Elder Xiao Zheng Can Only Be Wronged...
After a pause, Fellow Daoist Xuan Xiao continued, "If it weren’t for the fact that he used that Divine Bird’s divine technique, I wouldn’t be so sure."
"But once he used it, it proved that, behind Chen Beixuan of the Northern Territory, there must be a significant backing!"
"Because... that divine technique, even in my sect, is only recorded in ancient texts!"
Upon hearing Fellow Daoist Xuan Xiao’s words, the hall fell into a deathly silence.
Several Earth Realm Elders showed a trace of fear, their whole bodies trembling.
Fellow Daoist Xuan Xiao, since arriving at the Cyan Hidden Sect, has not disclosed his origins in detail.
However, from the few words of the Hidden Vice Sect Leader, and his undisguisable pride whenever he mentions his sect, it is clear that Xuan Xiao’s sect must have a substantial background, evident from his own strength.
After all, even the strongest leader of Cyan Hidden Sect is only at the Earth Realm Seventh Layer, while Xuan Xiao is already advancing to the Celestial Realm!
The background that even Fellow Daoist Xuan Xiao finds terrifying, how powerful must it be?!
But soon, the Cyan Hidden Sect Leader thought of something.
This Memory Stone had just been delivered to him, so how did Fellow Daoist Xuan Xiao know what the final divine technique looked like?
Logically, he should not have seen the Memory Stone before him.
"Fellow Daoist Xuan Xiao, the Memory Stone was just delivered, could it be that you’ve seen it beforehand?"
After contemplating for a moment, the Cyan Hidden Sect Leader spoke.
"I haven’t seen it, but compared to the Memory Stone, the message had already reached me, as I heard it from the disciples on the peak." Fellow Daoist Xuan Xiao said, "When I heard the description, I felt something was amiss."
Upon hearing this, the Cyan Hidden Sect Leader and the Elders all realized, understanding the convenience of the Communication Jade Token.
Indeed, compared to the Memory Stone that needs to be delivered, the Communication Jade Token in the Hidden Spirit Mini World is not uncommon; everyone has one.
Any news can be transmitted instantly from the outside.
At this moment, the Cyan Hidden Sect Leader immediately said, "Well, I happen to have a Memory Stone here, Fellow Daoist Xuan Xiao, please help take a look and see if the divine technique is truly as you said."
Fellow Daoist Xuan Xiao nodded, as he had intended to do so.
If not for receiving such astounding news, he wouldn’t have come.
Immediately, the Cyan Hidden Sect Leader activated the Memory Stone, and the scene that had previously shocked everyone present slowly emerged again.
After watching it again, especially seeing the ancient Vermilion Bird appear with mysterious divine fire, Fellow Daoist Xuan Xiao’s expression became extremely solemn.
"Fellow Daoist Xuan Xiao, is this divine technique middle-grade or... upper grade?"
Beside him, the Cyan Hidden Sect Leader asked.
The power of the Vermilion Bird Seal was evident even through the projection.
The Cyan Hidden Sect Leader intuitively felt... that even if it weren’t upper grade, it was top-tier among middle grade!
Middle-grade, upper grade?
Upon hearing the Cyan Hidden Sect Leader’s question, Fellow Daoist Xuan Xiao’s expression became unusually peculiar.
If it were merely that, how could it have shocked him so?
One must know that in his sect, while it may not be a pinnacle power.
But they have several middle-grade divine techniques, and... one upper-grade divine technique that guards the sect!
And the scene depicted goes far beyond the upper-grade divine techniques he knows of.
"This is no middle-grade or upper-grade divine technique, do you know the origin of that red Divine Bird?" After a moment, Fellow Daoist Xuan Xiao said, deep gaze fixed.
The Cyan Hidden Sect Leader was stunned, not middle-grade, nor upper-grade?!
Then what is it...
As for the origin of the red Divine Bird?
Contemplating for a moment, the Cyan Hidden Sect Leader said, "It looks like... the legendary Vermilion Bird Divine Bird? It’s said this bird is red and born with divine fire, a Divine Beast controlling the fire attribute!"
Next moment, Fellow Daoist Xuan Xiao nodded slowly, word by word, "You... guessed correctly; it is indeed this entity!"
Cyan Hidden Sect Leader: "?!?"
The hall’s Elders: "!!!!"
"A power possessing such a divine technique, I cannot fathom how terrifying it must be!" Fellow Daoist Xuan Xiao took a deep breath and said, "At least, it far exceeds my sect."
"So, I advise everyone, this matter... it’s best not to pursue further." He looked at the Cyan Hidden Sect Leader, glanced at the Memory Stone once more, and didn’t linger in the hall, turning to leave.
Watching Fellow Daoist Xuan Xiao’s departing figure, the Cyan Hidden Sect Leader gazed at the sky, silent for a long time.
But the other Elders, after pondering briefly, said, "Sect Leader, about this matter... let’s leave it be, Fellow Daoist Xuan Xiao speaks wisely, we cannot keep heading down the wrong path."
After all, currently, just the loss of one Elder Xiao Zheng.
The loss is still bearable.
Furthermore, after analyzing, it can be confirmed that the person behind it is likely backed by a powerful force.
If they tried to act again and that person truly called on their backer...
Cyan Hidden Sect might not only struggle to maintain its current state but also might not even be able to survive.
Returning from his contemplations, the Cyan Hidden Sect Leader immediately said, "This matter ends here! If someday that person seeks us out, my Cyan Hidden Sect... will compensate as necessary."
In the past, making such an alarming decision would have surely faced opposition from other Elders.
But now, hearing the Sect Leader speak, the hall’s authoritative Elders all nodded without hesitation.
Compensate as necessary!
Better to resolve feuds than escalate them!
"No wonder the people from Celestial Curtain Prefecture previously came to kindly notify us of this matter. Now, it seems, hmph... they indeed had ulterior motives." An Elder recalled how Celestial Curtain Prefecture specifically sent someone to inform them, and coldly snorted.
Indeed, among wolves, you find no friends.
"Hmph! Celestial Curtain Prefecture indeed had bad intentions. Fortunately, it’s just Elder Xiao Zheng who suffered, we’ll have to wrong him a bit." The Cyan Hidden Sect Leader also coldly snorted.
...
Meanwhile.
In a hidden cave, around Lu Ye, a deep and terrifying aura that would make countless Earth Realm Grandmasters tremble silently flashed.
He did not know that by using the Vermilion Bird Seal, he would cause the Cyan Hidden Sect in the Hidden Spirit Mini World to tremble, he only knew...
"Finally reached Earth Realm Third Layer..."
Opening his eyes, feeling the Earth Realm Source Qi surging in his Dantian, Lu Ye let out a breath of turbid air.
"Now, facing those below Earth Realm Seventh Layer, I shouldn’t have much problem."
Of course, this is Lu Ye’s most conservative estimate.
Previously, for instance, without using the Vermilion Bird Seal, he was confident he could kill Xiao Zheng.
However, firstly, he wanted a quick fight.
And secondly, he wanted to see the actual effect of using the Vermilion Bird Seal against enemies, and the final result for Lu Ye was utterly satisfying.
