Chapter 346: The Holy Minister Appears
Chapter 346: The Holy Minister Appears
At the summit of a mountain peak on Human World Peak, Soul Subduing Scholar and Eternal Year Daoist stood at the edge of a cliff, gazing at the heavenly dome, lost in deep thought.
"Master, what stage of Immortal Dao has Dao Support Sword Zun reached?" Soul Subduing Scholar couldn't help but ask.
Eternal Year Daoist smiled bitterly, "Your master has only lived a few more years than you. I only know of the Marvelous Technique Spirit Immortal, and the realm of the three heavens above is beyond my reach."
Soul Subduing Scholar sighed, "That Heavenspan Demon's aura felt even more formidable than Meng Xianzhe's. It was instantly annihilated, truly a case of extraordinary people and greater powers beyond the heavens."
Eternal Year Daoist frowned slightly and sighed, "I always feel that the Holy Court is about to face trouble. They dared to let such a demon enter, and sooner or later, the world will experience a once-in-a-million-year upheaval."
Soul Subduing Scholar nodded, sharing the same sentiment.
"No matter what, it's a good thing that Dao Support Sword Zun destroyed that demon. Before he annihilated the Heavendemon, he had already started slaughtering innocent lives everywhere. The Holy Court is truly foolish to collaborate with such an existence!" Soul Subduing Scholar said indignantly, feeling absurd when he thought of the conversation between the Holy Sovereign and the Dark War Emperor.
When did the Holy Court become like this?
Eternal Year Daoist chose not to respond, as some words couldn't be spoken by him.
At that moment, not only Human World Peak but also the various sects and empires of the world were discussing this matter, and even within the Immortal Dynasty, people were talking about it.
The influence of this incident was rapidly spreading.
...
As summer passed and autumn arrived, in the Third Medicine Valley.
Gu An sat at a table, while Shen Zhen sat opposite him, excitedly talking about something.
Several months had passed since the battle between Dao Support Sword Zun and the Dark War Emperor, and it hadn't been buried by time; instead, it had become even more intense.
"I heard that the Heavenspan Demon was invited by the Holy Court. Tsk tsk, as expected, the world is as black as crows, and there's nothing new under the sun. The Daoheaven Sect has its own shady dealings, and so do the Taixuan Sect, the Sevenstar Spirit Realm, and the Holy Court," Shen Zhen said sarcastically.
Gu An sighed, "My dear, can you not say such things out loud? Those cultivators are as powerful as immortal gods; don't you fear being overheard?"
"What's the harm in being overheard? News of the Holy Court inviting the Heavenspan Demon is spreading everywhere. It's said that the Dark War Emperor has devoured the lives of eight continents. What a great sin!" Shen Zhen said indignantly.
Gu An reminded her, "You can curse all you want, but don't write it down or paint it."
Shen Zhen glared at him and said irritably, "Am I that foolish? Besides, I don't have such a strong sense of justice. I just can't stand the Holy Court claiming to be just and acting in the name of holiness, only to do such a thing."
At that moment, the chess players in the Medicine Valley's chess area were also cursing the Holy Court.
Gu An sensed a hint of conspiracy. With the Holy Court's capabilities, how could they allow such a public uproar?
As for the Holy Court not caring about their reputation, that was even more impossible! From the Great Void Sacred King's actions, it was clear that the Holy Court valued their reputation the most.
Reputation might seem intangible, but once it reaches a certain level, it can influence the fate of an individual or a faction, and even through the divination of heavenly rules, one can calculate whether a faction's reputation is good or bad.
Of course, whether the Holy Court is good or bad still depends on how the Holy Heaven exists.
As Gu An thought this, he decided to make a trip to the Heavenly Prison.
Regardless of whether the rumors outside were part of a conspiracy, some grudges needed to be settled first.
An hour later, after Shen Zhen had vented her frustration and felt refreshed, Gu An escorted her downstairs. After she left, he headed towards the teleportation array.
...
In the grand hall, the flames flickered.
The black-robed man sat on the throne, his brows furrowed in deep contemplation. Two tiny dragon souls emerged from the Dragon Bone Crown on his head, intertwining with each other.
Several months had passed since the Dark War Emperor's fall, and Dao Support Sword Zun had not come to kill at the Heavenly Prison. Instead of feeling relieved, he became increasingly anxious, sensing an impending disaster.
(End of Chapter)T
Slap!
The black-robed man suddenly felt a hand pressing down on his shoulder, his heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively opened his eyes.
His peripheral vision caught a glimpse, and his pupils suddenly dilated as he felt like he was falling into an abyss, his hands and feet turning cold.
He saw a figure standing beside him, enveloped in dark purple Demon Qi, and despite his cultivation, he couldn't see through the other's true form.
E
Gu An looked down at him and sent a longevity probe his way.
【Demonslaying Soul Sovereign (Freedom Yuan Immortal Realm, Eighth Layer): 590328/800000/1500000】
Gu An slowly spoke, "You've lived for over five hundred thousand years, it hasn't been easy for you either. Will you confess on your own, or should I take action myself?"
His voice, altered to sound hoarse, carried a chilling intent, causing Demonslaying Soul Sovereign to shudder in fear.
"It was Green Pinezi, Lord of the Broken Sea Region, who came to me. He claimed it was arranged by the Great Void Sacred King, asking me to release a group of Heavens Demons into the Taicang Continent... He is a Sacred King, and I couldn't refuse. I was just following orders, and I have no grudge against you, Senior. Please spare me..." Demonslaying Soul Sovereign said through gritted teeth, his voice filled with fear.
Gu An looked up, his gaze shifting to the top of the hall, while his left hand remained pressed on Demonslaying Soul Sovereign's shoulder.
Following Gu An's gaze, a golden light appeared in the hall, as if space had torn open. The golden light quickly expanded, and a figure stepped out from within.
This person was surrounded by a radiant golden light, and even Gu An couldn't see through their true form.
Gu An sent a longevity probe towards the figure.
【Holy Minister (Divine Mind True Immortal Realm, Ninth Level): 0/0/0】
No longevity?
Not the true body!
Demonslaying Soul Sovereign also saw the Holy Minister's figure, and his eyes were filled with panic. He had never met the Holy Minister, but the timing of his appearance was not in his favor.
The Holy Minister spoke, "I can dispose of the Great Void Sacred King."
His first words caused Demonslaying Soul Sovereign's expression to change drastically.
What arrogance! Only two beings in the Holy Court could remove the Sacred King from his position...
Regardless of which one it was, they were not someone Demonslaying Soul Sovereign could afford to offend.
Gu An asked, "Who are you, Senior?"
The Holy Minister replied, "I am the Holy Minister of the Holy Court, overseeing the entire Holy Court. The arrival of the Dark War Emperor was my idea, intending to eradicate the Human World Demons. However, I never imagined it would lead to such a ridiculous situation."
Gu An was surprised by the Holy Minister's admission, and for a moment, he couldn't discern the Holy Minister's intentions.
"
Gu An remained silent for a moment before saying, "I have no intention of making enemies with anyone. I only wish to quietly cultivate in seclusion. My previous actions were out of consideration for the continent I reside in, enjoying the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and I felt I should do something for that continent."
After hearing this, the Holy Minister immediately said, "So that's the case. I can understand that throughout history, there have indeed been some diligent cultivators like you who are solely focused on the Dao. It's the fortune of the mortals in that region to have your protection. From now on, the Holy Court will never disturb your cultivation again."
This time, his tone carried a hint of a smile.
"May I make a request?" Gu An suddenly asked.
"Please do."
"Bring the Great Void Sacred King here. I want to kill him personally."
