Chapter 106: A Possibility of Success

"First, someone set up a killing formation in the Great Wilderness City, then the Third Elder of the Scarlet Flame Holy Land went to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion. After that, the Ancestor of the Scarlet Flame Holy Land came out of seclusion," Yang Qiu stood up, pacing around the main hall, muttering, "Is there any connection between all this?"

After pondering for a while, he had no clue. Turning to look in the direction of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, he said to himself, "This should be the work of the senior, right?"

Thinking about the mysterious nature of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, Yang Qiu's excitement grew. He felt he had guessed the truth; the senior must have sold some information to the Scarlet Flame Holy Land. When the Ancestor of the Scarlet Flame Holy Land learned about it, he became furious, ready to settle scores with the Radiant Light Holy Land.

What exactly the information was, Yang Qiu couldn't say, but it certainly involved the fundamentals of the two Holy Lands or some matters of pride. Otherwise, why would the Scarlet Flame Ancestor go to such lengths, even bringing out the Imperial Weapon, looking like he would stop at nothing?

"How strong is the Scarlet Flame Ancestor?" Yang Qiu asked.

"Hmm," the elder hesitated for a moment, somewhat uncertain, "He should be a Great Saint level figure."

He wasn't present at the time, so the specific strength wasn't clear to him, but it probably wouldn't exceed Quasi Emperor. If it were a Quasi Emperor, then the Radiant Light Holy Land would be in a sorry state this time. But it shouldn't be a Saint King either. After all, Saint Kings were powerful, but activating an Imperial Weapon was a bit difficult for them. A Saint King bringing an Imperial Weapon to the Radiant Light Holy Land would hardly guarantee benefits.

"A Great Saint?" Yang Qiu pondered.

His eyes became brighter. While others might not be aware, he knew that the current Radiant Light Holy Land didn't have a Quasi Emperor presiding over them. The highest they had was a Great Saint. With both sides having Great Saints and wielding Imperial weapons, it would be challenging to determine the outcome.

For a while, it would be impossible to distinguish between victory and defeat. If someone sneaked into the Radiant Light Holy Land at this moment and launched a surprise attack, wouldn't the Radiant Light Holy Land be easily defeated?

All the Great Saints, with Imperial weapons activated, who would expect someone to infiltrate their Holy Lands? In their distracted state, eliminate all the Great Saints, then take away the Imperial scriptures, the Imperial weapons, and incidentally, the accumulated heritage of the Radiant Light Holy Land for millions of years. This way, the Nine Nether Demon Sect would profit greatly!

Unfortunately, the Emperor Grade Formation couldn't be dismantled. Otherwise, with such gains, it would be nothing short of a replica of the Radiant Light Holy Land! With these acquisitions, it seemed worthwhile even if it meant offending a Quasi Emperor!

By the time the Quasi Emperor from the Radiant Light Holy Land returned, the daylilies would have cooled.

Though the mountain gate formation of the Nine Nether Demon Sect wasn't Emperor Grade, it was at least Quasi Emperor Grade. Coupled with a Quasi Imperial Weapon for suppression, using the formation to withstand a Quasi Emperor shouldn't be too difficult.

Even if a Quasi Emperor stood at the door, they weren't afraid.

With the resources from the Radiant Light Holy Land in hand, developing steadily for one or two thousand years, when the Nine Nether Demon Sect resurfaced, it would undoubtedly shake the world!

"Seems like there's a possibility of success!" Yang Qiu became more excited the more he thought about it.

Usually, he wouldn't think of provoking the Radiant Light Holy Land, considering they had a Quasi Emperor and Imperial weapon. It was easy to rush in with people, but coming out was difficult. The Radiant Light Holy Land, even if taken by surprise, wouldn't be easy to deal with. Now, with the Scarlet Flame Holy Land distracting them, it was a heaven-sent opportunity!

He also coveted the Imperial Weapon of the Scarlet Flame Holy Land, but thinking about the uncertain strength of the Scarlet Flame Holy Land, he restrained his desires. Snatching the Imperial Weapon would be straightforward. However, the possibility of returning afterward was unclear. The Scarlet Flame Holy Land only deployed one Great Saint; who knew if there was a second or third one?

"No, I need to meet with the ancestors!" Yang Qiu gritted his teeth, determined. This was a rare opportunity in thousands of years. With two Holy Lands at war, they could reap the benefits while sitting back. If he missed this chance, who knew if there would be another?

In front of a black mountain peak, Yang Qiu's figure appeared. He followed a winding staircase, heading upwards, and soon arrived at the mountain's summit.

This place was barren, with only one grand hall seamlessly integrated with the mountain peak. The ancient hall had stood for countless years, weathered and worn, its walls mottled with age, exuding an ancient aura as if it had witnessed the entire history of the world since its inception.

It stood silently, emanating strands of demonic aura, tearing at one's sanity. It seemed like the origin of all demons, making it nearly impossible for anyone below the realm of a Saint to set foot here. Those who could cultivate in this place were, at the very least, Saint Kings of the Nine Nether Demon Sect.

Now, Yang Qiu himself was a Saint, seeking an audience not with Saint Realm elders, but with the true foundation of the sect—a figure of the Great Saint level!

"Yang Qiu, the Sect Master, requests an audience with the Supreme Elders for urgent matters!"

As his voice echoed, there was silence for a long while. Just as Yang Qiu thought all the Supreme Elders were in seclusion, a venerable voice suddenly emanated from the grand hall, indifferent: "Come in."

"Disciple obeys!"

Yang Qiu's joy surged. In these many years, he could finally see the depths of the Nine Nether Demon Sect. After being the Sect Master for so long, he didn't even know how many Great Saint Realm figures his sect possessed. If there were more, he could try to snatch the Imperial Weapon from the Scarlet Flame Holy Land as well!
