Chapter 1749 - 685: Visits from the Great Saints (Part 3)

Chapter 1749: Chapter 685: Visits from the Great Saints (Part 3)

The second page of Qin Ming’s letter solemnly mentioned a looming crisis, asking Zhou Tian, Mu Shiniang and the others to quietly set out, with an absolute top-tier Strong Person escorting and protecting them.

The more Zhou Tian read, the more grave his expression became. He muttered to himself: "Old Six said that last time he traveled alone, he almost met with disaster, as if he was ambushed halfway?"

In Qin Ming’s letter there was an oblique mention of an extremely terrifying danger, something that might be tied to the future trajectory of the Six Great Saints’ fate.

"Scheming over a grand matter..." Naturally, Zhou Tian couldn’t sit still anymore.

Unfortunately, this Old Six hadn’t written clearly where exactly that killing intent was coming from; they could only talk face to face. It seemed to be something huge.

Zhou Tian of course couldn’t sit still; that very night he yanked Niu Wuwei out of his room, then went to find the others, and even secretly contacted Strong Persons from the Demon Court.

He had come for Chang Sheng and Immortality, so of course he was scouting on behalf of some old monsters.

In short, behind him and Mu Shiniang there were more than just one or two unfathomable old geezers.

Niu Wuwei said suspiciously, "What kind of mischief is Old Six pulling now?"

He thought and thought, yet still couldn’t guess who would dare make a move on their Six Great Saints. Could it be that this Sixth Brother was just crying wolf?

Niu Wuwei mulled it over and said, "Why did he run all the way across billions of miles to the Xuanhuang Martial Hall? Don’t tell me he’s been bewitched by the Witch over there? When I get back I’m telling Junior Sister Qing Yue."

For several days in a row, Zhou Tian was actively making preparations.

Qin Ming had said in his letter that in the prosperous Divine City, that Earth Realm where Strong Persons gathered, there shouldn’t be much of a problem; but once they entered desolate lands, it was very likely they’d be targeted.

"Second Brother, stop studying your forbidden ground already..."

"Where is Eldest Sister these days? After she receives the transmission, she needs to pay special attention to the following information... invite the old senior from the Dream Insect Clan out of seclusion, so we can scheme over a grand matter together!"

Zhou Tian took it very seriously; he did not treat Qin Ming’s words as mere wind at his ear.

He stirred up such a big fuss that even Niu Wuwei felt a little uncertain and hurriedly contacted, in secret, the mysterious old monster of Doushuai Temple who was traveling outside.

With identities like theirs, if they weren’t already Great Saints, they were future Taoist Venerables. When roaming abroad, how could they possibly sever ties completely with the Supreme Martial hall?

If they wanted to invite Strong Persons to step in, they could find people very quickly.

Mu Shiniang, who had vanished for several days, also returned. When Zhou Tian called him over, he immediately showed a strange look.

He flicked open his folding fan and said, "A Great Saint I know also wrote me a letter from the Xuanhuang Martial Hall, inviting me over for a small gathering. Between the two pages of that letter, I seemed to catch a glimpse of Old Six’s figure."

"That coincidental?" Zhou Tian was astonished.

Mu Shiniang said, "It wasn’t Sixth Brother’s name, but a Great Saint called Emperor Qin. The letter itself only had a few short lines, yet a domineering, villain-like image was already leaping off the page."

Niu Wuwei said, "Wherever Old Six shows up, it always ends up this negative? Truly a natural-born villain root bone he just can’t shake off!"

At the same time, Si Yeli was also unfolding a letter to read. The Mysterious Earth Great Saint of the Xuanhuang Martial Hall was extremely enthusiastic, mentioning that various Great Saints were over there debating the Tao, and that the Xuanhuang Tree might emerge—a pretty good opportunity—and he specially invited her to meet up.

After that, several Great Saints almost simultaneously set out, hurrying toward the Xuanhuang Martial Hall.

...

In recent days, Ten Thousand Laws Sect had Saint-level visitors coming by from time to time, personally paying visits to thank Jiang Ran.

Because she had distributed some of the Lotus Seeds she couldn’t finish using, every Saint got a share, and she definitely harvested a wave of goodwill.

Because of this, someone took the initiative to help her clear debts.

The rise of Dai Sect was just too famous; All Saints felt embarrassed to take this kind of legendary top-tier Miracle Medicine for free.

Human connections value reciprocity most—give and take—only then can a relationship climb another rung.

Obviously, this time Demoness Jiang’s... lending ability had once again significantly risen a notch; the old monsters behind the Saint-level figures of each faction all began to look at her with new eyes.

Of course, this mainly had to do with Jiang Ran’s stunning performance.

Barring accidents, her Path of Great Saint was basically locked in; everything would naturally fall into place, and she could step through that barrier at any time.

Thus, the old monsters valued Dai Sect more and more.

During this period, Qin Ming took out the treasure medicine he had picked from Feixian Mountain that could improve Talent, and sent a portion to Jiang Ran.

This concerned future potential, so Demoness Jiang did not refuse. She smiled and said this would count as an advance loan; she would give Princess Qin an explanation in the future.

"Another shared seclusion..." Green Phoenix muttered.

She sat guarding outside the sealed chamber, drinking tea while splashing tea, studying the Great Saint Technique.

At the same time, she pondered secretly: Is Emperor Qin really cultivating in there? Or is he once again admiring Dai Sect’s Heavenly Demon Dance?

She hurriedly shook her head, suppressing that train of thought, and said, "I can’t let this go any deeper. Otherwise, what if he decides to silence me?"

A few days later, some Direct Lineage Disciples entered an important area of Ten Thousand Laws Sect to report that someone named Zhou Tian had come to visit and wanted to see Emperor Qin.

Green Phoenix sashayed into the great hall and said, "There really is every kind of person under the sun, with no sense of self-awareness. Great Sage Qin is in seclusion; how could he casually receive random strangers?"

"Eh, wait, the name Zhou Tian... sounds way too familiar. Could he be that Great Saint who was invited over?" She shivered and gave a sudden start.

This time, Green Phoenix broke precedent and went to disturb Qin Ming and Demoness Jiang.

She hurried over to pound on the chamber door, saying, "My Lord, Emperor, please come out of seclusion, there appears to be a Great Saint visiting."

In the distance, Mu Shiniang temporarily parted ways with Zhou Tian and Niu Wuwei, saying, "I’ll make a trip to Innate Sect first to meet Kong Yuanxing; I’ll come to Ten Thousand Laws Sect to find you very soon."

In fact, Si Yeli was also there. They had set out one after another from the Longevity Land toward the Xuanhuang Martial Hall, and met along the way.

They weren’t unfamiliar with one another; they’d already met in Yao Guang City, and had exchanged greetings in the Longevity Land, so in the end they traveled together.

She wore a fire-red dress, eyes bright and bewitching, charm seemingly innate, her laughter sweet as she said, "I’m also going to make a trip to Innate Sacred Sect."

Not long after, in an important area of Innate Sect, Great Saint Xuantu and Kong Yuanxing came out together, personally welcoming the visiting Mu Shiniang and Si Yeli with extreme enthusiasm.

"Saint Si..." Ning Zhenxue was extremely excited; among the various legendary Great Saints, there weren’t many women, and she deeply admired and looked up to this Great Saint of the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect.

Kong Yuanxing’s expression was mild, but his heart couldn’t calm down. He secretly thought: Emperor Qin, let’s see how arrogant you act today.

Great Saint Xuantu sensed something, gave him a nod, then immediately ordered, "Mm, arrange a grand banquet. Oh, and invite that Emperor Qin as well."
