Nie Guanhe was an expert second only to You Hao in Xian Tian Palace, he had profound attainments in the Innate Great Dao and was able to predict accurately.
However, Xian Tian Palace was too special, so Nie Guanhe couldn’t figure out the situation.
He tried his best to do it, causing him to vomit blood.
If he had not stopped in time, he would have been seriously injured.
However, he had an ominous feeling in his heart. He looked at Ji Zhong with apprehension.
Ji Zhong was silent for a moment, then said, didn’t witness it with my own eyes, but the results of my calculations are all ominous signs of death…” Nie Guanhe took a deep breath to calm himself down.
The current Palace Master, You Hao, who was in the eighteenth realm and ranked among the top ten Martial Saints of the Red Dust.
Elder Zhenlei, Mu Chao, was one of the top three Martial Saints in the palace.
He was the most outstanding descendant of Xian Tian Palace’s younger generation, Wang Zhang, who had the potential to compete for the position of the Red Dust Ten Heroes.
There was also Elder Gen Mountain Xue Hongxun, Elder Modest Wind Yue Zhengbo, and the new Li Fire Elder Wang Mingshou.
And the most valuable treasure of Xian Tian Palace, the Eight Trigrams Purple Ribbon-like Immortal Robe.
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that if one didn’t consider the existence of the Innate All Creation Formation, more than half of Xian Tian Palace’s forces had been invested in this trip to the Innate Tomb.
If all of them were to be destroyed, the loss to Xian Tian Palace would be beyond words.
The sky was about to collapse.
If they could achieve their goal, their heavy sacrifice would not be in vain.
However, looking at the current situation, Wang Zhang and Qin Dongyuan had clearly failed.
As for Ji Zhong…
Nie Guanhe didn’t know how to face this young man.
Truthfully speaking, they had not considered Ji Zhong before.
Firstly, he was using the other party as the key to open the door.
Secondly, Ji Zhong’s own strength was too low. Even if he obtained a huge opportunity, who knew when he would grow up.
The Xian Tian Palace might not be able to afford to wait.
Ji Zhong’s current state seemed to confirm this point.
However, seeing the Heavenly Phoenix carrying Ji Zhong on its back, Nie
Guanhe knew that they had made a mistake.
I didn’t forget about the Heavenly Phoenix.
The Xian Tian Palace naturally hoped that Tian Feng was in the Xian Tian Tomb and that they could bring Tian Feng back to the Xian Tian Palace.
However, something that they were most unwilling to see happened.
The relationship between Tian Feng and Ji Zhong was far closer than they had expected.
Phoenixes were noble and prideful. In some aspects, they were even prouder than true dragons. How could they allow others to easily climb onto their backs?
Not to mention You Hao, Nie Guanhe, and Wang Zhang, even Mister Tianji couldn’t do this.
However, this young man in front of him could.
Nie Guanhe also saw the reason.
Goumang…
This was something that the Xian Tian Palace did not expect.
If they had known earlier, they would have protected Ji Zhong with all their might.
Although he felt a little sorry for Wang Zhang, even Wang Zhang himself probably couldn’t refuse.
Unfortunately, no matter how good Xian Tian Palace was at divination, they could not see such a future.
Nie Guanhe’s biggest feeling when facing Ji Zhong was…Awkward.
Ji Zhong seemed to know what he was thinking and said, “”ln the Connate Tomb, Wang Zhang intended to sacrifice me. I believe Elder Nie knows about this arrangement, right?”
Hearing this, Nie Guanhe smiled bitterly.
His originally uneasy state of mind had completely calmed down at this moment.
He sighed. ” I can’t deny it. What’s next? It seems that you have a plan? ‘
Ji Zhong said, ” I do not know the details of the situation in the palace.
However, I have a general understanding. I believe that the palace lord and
Elder Nie are all doing this for Xian Tian Palace and not for your own benefit.
I grew up in the Xian Tian Palace and all my food and clothing were brought up by the palace, so I won’t blame you. However, now that my state of mind has changed, I don’t think I can go back to the past.”
Nie Guanhe’s heart sank.
This time, Xian Tian Palace was going to face a huge crisis.
Losing the support of the big shots, and more than half of the top experts in the palace were dead or injured, the fate of the future was already in front of them.
Nie Guan was at the peak of the Martial Saint Realm. As long as he could pass his heart, he could go anywhere, be it West Qin, South Chu, East Zhou, or the
Wilderness. He would be treated as a guest of honor, an Honored Warrior, or an Honored Guest with the best treatment.
However, even if Xian Tian Palace didn’t end immediately, it would definitely decline. Becoming someone else’s subordinate was already the best outcome.
Nie Guanhe felt heavy, but he still pulled himself together and bowed to Ji Zhong in a very formal manner.
Mister Ji is magnanimous and forgets all past grudges. Xian Tian Palace is extremely grateful, but now that Xian Tian Palace is in danger, please give Xian Tian Palace a chance to make up for it. ‘
Nie Guanhe kowtowed to Ji Zhong in front of him and said solemnly, “I implore Mister Ji to take over the position of palace lord. No one in Xian Tian Palace dares to disobey.
Ji Zhong looked at Nie Guanhe, sighed, and shook his head, “”1 don’t want to be the palace lord.”
Nie Guanhe’s heart sank.
Ji Zhong lowered his head and looked at the Heavenly Phoenix.
The human and the bird seemed to have the same thoughts and didn’t need to talk.
Ji Zhong looked at Nie Guanhe again and said, “”Elder Nie, you, Palace Master You, Elder Xue, and the others have the intention of using me. However, I think that most of the other disciples in the palace should not know about your plans. They might not even know about the existence of the Innate Tomb.
I’m not good at dealing with people. In the past ten years, I’ve had some unpleasant times with everyone, but most of the time, I’ve had a good time.
A fire at the city gate would bring disaster to the fish in the moat. If the big tree of Xian Tian Palace fell, many of his fellow disciples would suffer.
I really don’t want to be the Palace Master, but I’ll go back with you. Senior Feng doesn’t object.
The world is unpredictable, I will try my best. I can’t guarantee Xian Tian Palace’s safety, but I will always stay in Xian Tian Palace. If one day Xian Tian Palace can regain its footing in the mortal world, then I will leave.
However, there is one thing that I have to say first. I am a guest in Xian Tian Palace, and during this period of time, I might ask everyone to help me investigate and gather some information. I hope Elder Nie can help me. ‘
Nie Guanhe heard this and his sorrow turned into joy.
Thank you, Mister Ji. Xian Tian Palace will do their best to search for Mister Ji’s orders.
While thinking about the past, Ji Zhong did not forget about the treehouse.
Although he was a quiet person, Ji Zhong knew very well that he was able to escape unscathed this time because of Mister Zun’s arrangements.
Before this, he had not been able to get any useful information for Mister Zun. Now, he finally had a chance to repay him.
Although he had the Heavenly Phoenix with him and was strong enough to travel the mortal world, gathering information was not something that could be done just by being strong.
A well-developed intelligence network required time, money, and connections to accumulate and operate. It required professionals to manage it.
Even if Ji Zhong wanted to start from scratch, he did not know how long it would take for him to produce results. Moreover, he knew that he was not cut out for it.
The Xian Tian Palace had been the top sacred ground in the mortal world for many years. Although the higher-ups had suffered heavy casualties, the basic network was still there.
The people in the Xian Tian Palace cultivated the Xian Tian Great Dao Canon and were good at divination. Their information channels were outstanding and were suitable for Ji Zhong to help Mister Zun gather information.
Both sides could be considered to have taken what they needed and joined forces.
To Elder Nie, this was already the best result he could obtain at the moment. It was not appropriate to ask for more.
Even if he wanted to further soften Ji Zhong’s attitude, he could not be too hasty. He had to plan slowly.
Now that Ji Zhong was willing to return to Xian Tian Palace with Tian Feng, it was a great fortune for Xian Tian Palace.
You Hao and the others were dead, Xian Tian Palace suffered heavy losses and was on the verge of collapse.
However, as long as a powerful Heavenly Phoenix landed in Xian Tian Palace, the unfavorable situation would be reversed.
Moreover, according to the ancient records, the Heavenly Phoenix’s strength was not limited to this.
The current situation was very likely that he had just been reborn.
As time passed, the Heavenly Phoenix’s strength would increase rapidly.
And Ji Zhong in front of him was obviously going to make people look at him in a different light. Even if he couldn’t reach the heavens in one step, his future was still promising.
The most important thing now was to bring them back to Xian Tian Palace.
Furthermore, they had to do it openly and spread it to the world. The bigger the reputation, the better. Only then would they be able to reverse Xian Tian Palace’s decline and deter those who had ill intentions.
At the same time, he had to search for You Hao and the others. What if there were still survivors?
Since he had decided to return to Xian Tian Palace, Ji Zhong didn’t object to Nie
Guanhe’s arrangement and quietly became a mascot.
He spent most of his time analyzing himself.
Although he was young and mature, his expression did not change. In fact, his heart had never stopped fluctuating.
On one hand, it was the bizarre encounter in the Connate Tomb.
On the other hand, the awakening of Goumang’s divine soul in his body had brought him earth-shattering changes. He needed to slowly adapt and digest them.
In the cultivation room, Ji Zhong was deep in thought when his heart suddenly moved slightly.
In the next moment, the scene in front of him changed, and the Divine Tree of Life Creation appeared in his vision again.
Returning to the treehouse, Ji Zhong entered the main hall.
On the other side of the empty round table, Mr. Zun sat calmly under the light, as if he was smiling at him.
“Thank you, Senior!” Ji Zhong immediately bowed.
In the Connate Tomb, Wang Zhang wanted to sacrifice him, and Su Ye, Cheng
Ye, and the others rushed in to kill him. In the chaos, Ji Zhong relied on the Distant Heaven Illusionary Mist that he had continuously consumed in the treehouse to temporarily hide his body and escape the disaster.
Later, when he was almost dragged into the tomb by Goumang’s molt, the Life Creation Divine Tree appeared and helped him block another calamity.
“Little friend, you’re too polite. I didn’t do anything.” Mr. Zun, who was enveloped by the light, smiled gently and said, ‘”‘This is your opportunity. I won’t interfere too much. I’m just helping you make more preparations to deal with overly dangerous situations.”
“If it wasn’t for Senior, I would have died today.” Ji Zhong said seriously.
“If you really feel bad, young friend, please help me keep an eye out for news about the Human Emperor,” Mr. Zun smiled.
“Definitely.” Ji Zhong bowed.
He was not a man of words, and he would not casually make a promise. He only secretly made up his mind to do his best.
Mr. Zun nodded. ” Little friend, this trip has turned out to be a blessing in disguise. It’s truly a joyous occasion. Congratulations, little friend.
Recalling the original plan of You Hao and the others of the Heavenly Palace to use him, Ji Zhong felt a little complicated.. He asked softly, “”Senior, have you observed the situation in the Innate Tomb? How are the others from Xian Tian
Palace?”
