Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 863 864: Luoyun Sect

At this moment, the entire War King's Mansion was shrouded with an indescribable aura of indifference, and within it was an overwhelming intent to kill. The soul jade scroll of the young prince in the War King's Mansion had shattered.

What does this signify? Anyone from the Immortal Realm knows; it means the young prince of the War King has fallen. Such a shocking event, some even heard the thunderous wrath of the War King from outside the hall.

Young Prince Zai Qiu was one of the War King's most cherished sons. Now he is dead; one can only imagine the wrath of the War King. Besides, the Zai Family bears the royal bloodline; who would dare defy their authority by killing Zai Qiu?

And yet, Zai Qiu's soul jade scroll shattered, proving his death beyond doubt.

At this moment, the War King in the main hall of the mansion had eyes as cold as Xiao Mu, his killing intent intimidating, and the murderous aura around him was unabated, causing the generals by his side to shiver in fear.

Then, the War King coldly snorted, "Say that again?"

"Calm your wrath, War King!"

With a thud, the general immediately knelt on the ground, trembling as he said, "The soul jade scroll of the young prince really shattered. This is a confidential letter sent over by the Great Ming Immortal Sect, please have a look, War King!"

After saying that, the general took out a confidential letter from his bosom and handed it over to the War King.

Receiving it, the general continued, "Not only did the young prince's soul jade scroll shatter, but it is also heard that several Martial Immortal realm experts from the Great Ming Immortal Sect had their soul jade scrolls shattered as well. Initially, hearing that the young prince triggered the Immortal Thought Guardian, these Martial Immortal realm experts then dared to go to Earth, among them was Zai Quan!"

Zai Quan, not only a member of the Zai Family but also half a mentor to Zai Qiu. Zai Qiu once cultivated at the Great Ming Immortal Sect, where Zai Quan took great care of him, even leaving an immortal thought within Zai Qiu, perhaps due to Zai Qiu's status.

However, not in his wildest dreams did Zai Quan expect that his immortal thought would ultimately bring about his demise.

After reading the letter, the War King snorted coldly, "To the Great Ming Immortal Sect!"

With that, the War King transformed into a stream of immortal light and departed from the main hall of the War King's Mansion.

Although Zai Qiu was his son, he was also a disciple of the Great Ming Immortal Sect. Now that Zai Qiu is dead, the Great Ming Immortal Sect naturally owes an explanation, especially since Zai Qiu was of pure royal blood, noble in every way.

In the void, the general spoke to the War King, "Should we report this matter to the Great Emperor?"

"Report to the Great Emperor?" The War King snorted, "Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey? The Great Emperor is busy managing state affairs, should everything be reported to him, is that not seeking death?"

Even though Zai Qiu had royal blood, royal descendants are many. For the Great Emperor, the death of Zai Qiu is but a minor issue, not worth his concern.

Moreover, even if someone challenged the Zai Family's authority, with so many powerful members in the Zai Family royal line, would they still need the Great Emperor to act personally?

Upon hearing this, the general's expression turned Tie Qing, not daring to utter another word.

...

Great Ming Immortal Sect.

The Great Ming Immortal Sect is the foremost sect in the Ming Emperor Immortal Kingdom, a place dedicated to nurturing prodigious offspring of the royal line, and it can be said that the sect has an endless number of geniuses and an innumerable number of strong individuals.

However, the vast Great Ming Immortal Sect was now enveloped by an incredibly terrifying Martial King realm pressure, drawing numerous disciples of the sect.

"It is the War King, it seems he has learned of the situation!" A disciple of the Immortal Sect remarked, "Now that Senior Brother Zai Qiu's soul jade scroll has shattered, it seems the War King is already furious!"

"No doubt!" Another snorted, "Zai Qiu was one of the War King's most prized sons. With his death, how could the War King not be enraged?"

"Indeed, but who would have such audacity to challenge royal authority and kill Zai Qiu? Rumor has it that several Martial Immortals within the sect have also fallen!"

"This you might not know!" A disciple with royal blood informed them knowingly, "Rumor has it that Zai Qiu left the academy on a secret imperial decree from the Great Emperor, to a place called Earth Particle World to find someone. Who exactly, is unclear, but likely it's due to this mission that Zai Qiu met his end!"

"..."

Many disciples of the sect began speculating, considering that Zai Qiu was of royal blood, and moreover a son of the War King, his death certainly demands an explanation from the sect.

"The War King descending with such fury is truly terrifying!" Just then, an elder stepped forward through the air to meet him.

The War King's gaze was as cold as Xiao Mu, staring at the elder as he spoke, "Luo Sect Leader, my son Zai Qiu was once your disciple at the Great Ming Immortal Sect, now he died in the Mortal Realm, don't you, Luo Sect Leader, owe me an explanation?"

Indeed, the white-haired elder who came to meet him was none other than the Sect Leader of the Great Ming Immortal Sect, Luo Yunzong.

This Luo Yunzong was not only the Sect Leader of the Great Ming Immortal Sect, but also a formidable Martial Venerable, having guarded the Great Ming Immortal Sect for thousands of years, truly intimidating.

Underneath the Emperor, is Venerable.

From this, it is not hard to imagine the terrifying existence of a Martial Venerable.

It can also be said that in the vast Ming Capital, there are no more than ten Martial Venerables, and the Sect Leader of the Great Ming Immortal Sect was one of them. However, considering the War King's royal bloodline, Luo Yunzong kept a rather polite tone.

Otherwise, with just the existence of a Martial King Realm like the War King, Luo Yunzong wouldn't have taken him seriously.

Then, Luo Yunzong spoke with a smile, "I, too, am deeply saddened by Zai Qiu's death, and not only is it a challenge to royal authority, but it also challenges the dignity of our Great Ming Immortal Sect. However, you know, this time Zai Qiu's journey to Earth was not the sect's decision but under the Great Emperor's decree. Now that Zai Qiu died on Earth, it seems to have little to do with the sect?"

Luo Yunzong continued, "Furthermore, within our sect, several Martial Immortal realm experts have also fallen in that Earth Particle World because of it!"

"Are you saying that the Great Ming Immortal Sect is not going to intervene?"

"Unless there is a decree from the Great Emperor!" Luo Yunzong still smiled as he spoke, "In general, the Great Ming Immortal Sect does not engage in political affairs; this has been an ironclad rule since the founding of the Ming Capital. Without a decree from the Great Emperor, I dare not act arbitrarily. Please forgive me, War King!"

Luo Yunzong's words were accurate. Under normal circumstances, the Great Ming Immortal Sect only nurtures talents for the Ming Capital Immortal Kingdom. Only if the foundational stability of the Ming Capital Immortal Kingdom is threatened does the Great Ming Immortal Sect intervene; otherwise, it does not partake in any state affairs of the Ming Capital.

And since Zai Qiu was acting on the Immortal Emperor's decree, his journey to Earth already constituted state business.

Upon hearing this, the War King's expression became difficult, yet he was speechless. As Luo Yunzong had pointed out, without the Great Emperor's decree, the War King could not summon the sect's powerful individuals.

Then, Luo Yunzong continued, "Since Zai Qiu died in the Particle World, with your strength, you could sweep across Earth with a troop. Why bother the Great Ming Immortal Sect?"

"Hmph… Farewell!"

The War King snorted coldly, stepping onto the clouds to leave, his gaze dark and evidently displeased; it was clear that Luo Yunzong gave him no face.
