Xianxia: I Built the Heavenly Secret Pavilion; All People Worships Me (Patreon)

Chapter 104: Unveiling the Imperial Weapon?

"Pavilion Master, do you have the results?" Xi Xiangnan asked eagerly.

"Yes." Li Yun closed the system panel, contemplating, "What I'm about to say is crucial. Scarlet Flame Holy Land, don't be afraid."

"You're joking, Pavilion Master," Xi Xiangnan chuckled and said, "Scarlet Flame Holy Land has stood tall for tens of thousands of years. We've weathered many storms. Please, Pavilion Master, speak without hesitation."

"That's good, then." Li Yun nodded and continued, "In fact, the Radiant Light Holy Lord is the son of the former Lord of the Heavenly Demon Palace."

"Oh? The Radiant Light Holy Lord is the son of the previous Lord?" Xi Xiangnan didn't seem too concerned. This piece of information was new to him, but in the world of Holy Lands, having illegitimate children as a Holy Lord was not uncommon. After all, a generation of strong individuals was not likely to be devoid of romantic entanglements.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Xi Xiangnan's expression changed. He thought carefully and asked uncertainly, "Senior, were you talking about the previous Radiant Light Holy Lord or the previous Lord of the Heavenly Demon Palace?"

"The Lord of the Heavenly Demon Palace!" Li Yun glanced at him, slightly annoyed.

"The Lord of the Heavenly Demon Palace?!!!" Xi Xiangnan was dumbfounded. He stood there like a wooden man, taking a long time to react.

How could this be possible? How could the son of the Heavenly Demon Palace Lord infiltrate the Radiant Light Holy Land? It was one thing to infiltrate, but he had actually become the Radiant Light Holy Lord—this was a terrifying revelation!

If the Heavenly Demon Palace had intentions to strike at the Radiant Light Holy Land, with an insider, the Radiant Light Holy Lord could open the formation, allowing the Heavenly Demon Palace to attack. In such a scenario, the Radiant Light Holy Land would be defenseless.

Without the Emperor Grade formation, in a melee between the Heavenly Demon Palace and the Radiant Light Holy Land, their Imperial Weapon would become ineffective. In the chaos, who would dare wield an Imperial Weapon? Striking down the Heavenly Demon Palace would also mean destroying the Radiant Light Holy Land.

"How did he manage that?" Xi Xiangnan shivered; this revelation sent chills down his spine. The recruitment process for disciples in a Holy Land was strict, only accepting geniuses, and even more crucially, they needed to have a clean family background. With even the slightest flaw, one couldn't enter a Holy Land.

The fact that the Radiant Light Holy Lord managed to infiltrate and become the Radiant Light Holy Lord was inconceivable. If people from the Heavenly Demon Palace could infiltrate the Radiant Light Holy Land and elude the investigations of Radiant Light Elders, what about other Holy Lands? It wouldn't be difficult for them to infiltrate.

"Pavilion Master, would you mind re-evaluating if there was a mistake in the deductions?" Xi Xiangnan asked softly, the weight of the information making him hesitant to believe it.

Li Yun's expression darkened, displeased. "Are you doubting the credibility of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion?"

"No, no!" Xi Xiangnan waved his hands quickly, and said, "It's just that this information is a bit too sensational!"

"Whether it's true or false, it's simple to verify." Li Yun glanced at him and casually said, "Don't you have soul-searching abilities? Search his soul, and all the truths will be revealed!"

"Thank you for the reminder, Pavilion Master!" Xi Xiangnan arched his hand.

Knowing so much, his priority was to inform the seniors of his Holy Land quickly. Currently, the most crucial thing was to head to the Radiant Light Holy Land and demand that they hand over the Radiant Light Holy Lord. Otherwise, delays could lead to unforeseen consequences. He was unsure whether the people in the Radiant Light Holy Land were aware of the situation.

What if the Radiant Light Holy Lord wasn't infiltrating but collaborating with the Heavenly Demon Palace? The possibility was small, but it wasn't nonexistent. If that were true, seeking revenge for the Scarlet Flame Holy Land might be challenging.

"I have other urgent matters to attend to. I'll take my leave today!" Xi Xiangnan's expression was not pleasant. He bowed and quickly said.

"I won't send you off." Li Yun spoke casually.

…

Out of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.

As the cold wind blew, Xi Xiangnan quickly regained his composure. A jade slip appeared in his hand. After taking a deep breath, he transmitted all the information obtained from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion back to the Scarlet Flame Holy Land.

Shortly after, in the Scarlet Flame Holy Land, a thunderous sound erupted. A colossal figure rose, reaching the sky, with eyes like revolving suns and shoulders that bore mountains and rivers. Even the faint pressure emanating from him was terrifying.

"Heavenly Demon Palace, Radiant Light Holy Land, you have quite the audacity!"

A furious shout echoed, sounding like thunder, shaking the universe. Boundless rage materialized, covering the firmament and causing the world to crack and crumble. At his side, a mountain shattered, and a green ancient lamp soared into the sky. The lamp wick flickered, and a green flame swept out, turning into a royal sun, burning the heavens!

The entire sky distorted, space collapsed, and the firelight covered the thirty-three heavens. The terror of Imperial might pervaded, crushing through the ages.

In this moment, from the highest heavens to the deepest abyss, only the ancient lamp remained, eternally unextinguished, becoming the sole existence in the world. All things lost their color before the ancient lamp.

Countless beings within a radius of millions of miles trembled. Mountains and rivers quivered, yellow sand filled the air, and countless creatures couldn't help but kneel in fear.

"What happened to the Scarlet Flame Holy Land? Why did their ancestor suddenly appear, wielding Imperial weapon? Are they going to war with two forces?"

Countless people wondered in shock. Amid the fear, curiosity also filled their hearts. Why exactly did the Scarlet Flame Holy Lord shout against the Heavenly Demon Palace and Radiant Light Holy Land?
