Chapter 105: Seems to Be Profitable!

In the Great Yin Dynasty, Bei Chenheng, in the midst of cultivation, suddenly woke up. He swiftly stood and went outside the grand hall, gazing towards the direction of the Scarlet Flame Holy Land. Despite the vast distance, he still felt a trace of terrifying pressure, directly affecting the soul and making any resistance impossible.

"Is it an Imperial Weapon?" Bei Chenheng muttered.

The Great Yin Dynasty, though lacking Imperial weapons, had some understanding of them. Now, with Imperial weapon appearing, something significant must have happened.

"Previously, someone made a move against senior, and right after, the Scarlet Flame Holy Land brought out an Imperial Weapon." Bei Chenheng's eyes flickered, muttering to himself, "Is there any connection between these two events?

"Someone!" He shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?" A guard respectfully inquired.

"Go and find out what happened in the Scarlet Flame Holy Land! As soon as there's news, report it to me immediately!"

"Yes!" The guard replied and quickly turned away.

…

On the other side, in the Purple Weave Holy Land, the Purple Weave Holy Lord stood in the void. Hair disheveled, hands behind his back, a divine light shimmered around him, and cold radiance shot from his eyes. He stood still, silently observing the direction of the Scarlet Flame Holy Land.

"How is the investigation going?" The Purple Weave Holy Lord spoke, his voice indifferent, devoid of any emotion.

The news of an Imperial Weapon emerging couldn't be concealed. In a short half-day, it spread throughout the human race and, even faster, disseminated to the entire world.

At present, countless eyes were focused on the Scarlet Flame Holy Land. Everyone wanted to know why the Scarlet Flame Holy Lord was so furious, even resorting to bringing out Imperial weapons.

"I'm incompetent. The specific information is limited as the Scarlet Flame Holy Land has not disclosed much. However, I learned from spies in the Great Wilderness City that the Third Elder of the Scarlet Flame Holy Land once visited the Heavenly Secret Pavilion!"

In the void, a young man, still in a respectful posture, quickly spoke, "Oh?"

The Purple Weave Holy Lord's expression changed, and he turned to look at the person, saying slowly, "The Heavenly Secret Pavilion?"

"Exactly!" The person trembled all over, as if carrying a mountain on his back. Sweating profusely, he continued rapidly, "After the Third Elder of the Scarlet Flame Holy Land left the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, it seems her passed on a message.

"Shortly after, the Ancestor of the Scarlet Flame Holy Land became furious and roared the names of the Heavenly Demon Palace and Radiant Light Holy Land. Judging by the direction he left, it seems he went to the Radiant Light Holy Land!"

"Is that so?" The Purple Weave Holy Lord turned back, murmuring, "It seems that something significant has happened, but the news has yet to spread. Continue investigating. Find out what tricks the Radiant Light Holy Land and Heavenly Demon Palace are up to!"

Saying this, he turned and left, heading towards the direction of the rear mountain. The departure of the Scarlet Flame Holy Land's ancestor with the Imperial Weapon, whether going to the Radiant Light Holy Land or not, this grand spectacle couldn't be without the participation of their Purple Weave Holy Land.

As a Holy Lord-level figure, he naturally couldn't intervene in a battle of this level. However, their Purple Weave Holy Land had not just one Holy Lord; bringing a few ancestors out of seclusion wouldn't be difficult. Depending on the situation, they might even use this opportunity to gain an advantage, causing one of the Holy Lands to decline permanently. Then, their Purple Weave Holy Land could profit from it!

…

In the Nine Nether Demon Sect, in the main hall of the Sect Master, Yang Qiu, who had become the Sect Master, wore a black robe. Seated majestically at the head, an elder below was quickly relaying something.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, just now, our spies in the Great Wilderness City sent news that half an hour ago, a killing formation suddenly appeared in the sky above the Great Wilderness City."

"What?" The elder's words hadn't finished when Yang Qiu's gaze dropped, his eyes cold, and he said in a chilly voice, "You're saying someone set up a killing formation in the sky above the Great Wilderness City?"

"Yes." The elder nodded, and continued, "According to the news from the spies, it seems to be a Saint King Grade killing formation."

His voice grew lower and lower, and in the end, it became almost inaudible. Everyone knew why the Sect Master had become a Saint. That was all thanks to the guidance of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion. Now, someone was trying to harm the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, and Yang Qiu was about to erupt on the spot.

"What's the situation now?" Yang Qiu inquired.

"It seems that the master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion attracted Divine Retribution and shattered it in one fell swoop," the elder said slowly.

To be honest, when he first received the news, he didn't believe it. Divine Retribution, whoever touched it would die; how could it be summoned and dispersed at will? But now, with the Great Wilderness City intact under the influence of a Saint King Grade killing formation, it seemed there was no more reliable explanation.

"As expected of senior; he is indeed, even more profound and unfathomable than I imagined!" After hearing this, Yang Qiu was not surprised but rather extremely excited. He said in a deep voice, "Can you find out who set up the formation behind the scenes?"

"I'm incompetent, unable to find out the person behind the formation," the elder said shamefully. Afraid of incurring Yang Qiu's anger, he quickly added, "However, junior brother heard another piece of news."

"What news?" Yang Qiu asked impatiently.

"It's said that the ancestor of the Scarlet Flame Holy Land has come out, and he brought an Imperial Weapon. After leaving, it seems he went in the direction of the Radiant Light Holy Land."

The elder spoke quickly, and at the end, he added, "Before the ancestor of the Scarlet Flame Holy Land came out, the Third Elder of the Scarlet Flame Holy Land also visited the Heavenly Secret Pavilion."

"Hmm?" After hearing this, Yang Qiu's eyes widened suddenly.

Intuition told him, there seemed to be a chance for profit inside!
