The green light that swept towards Elder Angler was extremely sharp and powerful, bringing with it a series of sonic booms.
The Li Palace Princess did not move, not even interested in looking at it, as if she knew that this azure light could not harm Elder Angler in the slightest.
Elder Angler shook his wrist and used the fishing rod to block in front of him. The azure light struck the fishing rod, causing a burst of blood. With a sharp scream, the azure light hurriedly dove into the water.
"Evil creature, I've been waiting for you for many days. Do you want to run away like this?" Elder Angler softly muttered as he swung the fishing rod back. The fishing line danced, and just as the azure light was about to sink into the water, it was fiercely smashed into the ground by the fishing line.
This azure light was actually a large azure snake. Its two eyes glowed with a dark light, and its sharp fangs were glaring fiercely at Elder Angler.
"Evil creature, you've recently injured quite a few mountain animals. Today is the day you die." Elder Angler lightly said.
The large snake seemed to understand his words and struggled to swim into the lake. However, its upper jaw was hooked by the fishing hook and it could not escape.
With a shake of the fishing line, the large snake lightly smashed into a sharp stone on the ground. With a clatter, its tongue was smashed into pieces, dripping with blood.
It struggled for a while, but then it completely stopped moving.
Elder Angler shook his wrist, and the fishing line quickly wrapped around the fishing rod. Only then did he turn his head to look at the Li Palace Palace Master.
Outsiders would involuntarily feel fear when facing the Li Palace Palace Master, but Elder Angler did not move at all.
His face was covered by a bamboo hat, so his appearance could not be clearly seen. However, there was no doubt that he was calm and fearless.
The Li Palace Palace Master looked at him and pointed at the corpse of the large snake, asking, "How did you have the leisure to come down the mountain to do such a small thing?"
Elder Angler replied, "This is not a small matter. You don't leave the Li Palace all year round, so you don't know that recently, the world has not been peaceful. There have been many monsters."
The Li Palace Palace Master's eyes flashed with astonishment, asking, "This beast has not become a monster yet, right?"
"Its intelligence has already been developed. Becoming a monster is only a matter of time. It's best to leave early to avoid future troubles." Elder Angler said, "I don't know what's going on in the world, but I heard that the Northeast is even less peaceful. Not only are there monsters, but also people are suffering."
"Is it really that serious?"
Elder Angler didn't answer this question because it was too unnecessary.
"Then have you sent someone to the northeast?"
"Jian Thirteen has already gone."
"Jian Shisan, heh, the Sword God is finally willing to send out his beloved last disciple to carry out a mission. With him going, it will naturally be a piece of cake." The Palace Master clearly had confidence in this Jian Shisan.
"The Sword God has been recuperating during this period of time. I believe you have also heard the news. He fought a great battle with that mysterious cultivator and suffered some injuries." Elder Angler said.
"It is said that the cultivator is called Tian Chanzi. Is the Great Lord not allowed to avenge the Sword God and let him get away with it?" the Palace Master asked curiously.
Elder Angler raised his head slightly, revealing a scar. This scar extended from his left cheek to his right cheek, running across his entire face, making him look extremely terrifying.
He glanced at the Palace Lord and said faintly, "The Great Lord is a great strategist. His every move has his own decisions. Actually, you and I can see through it."
The Palace Master revealed an expression of reverence and said, "That is reasonable. We cannot recklessly guess the Great Lord's intentions."
"I will first go see the Great Lord, so I won't chat with you." The Palace Master lightly tapped the ground with his walking stick and flew several zhang away. He directly crossed the mountain stream and rushed towards the peak.
"Let's go together!" Elder Angler lightly spat out these two words. With a light shake of his wrist, the fishing line flew out and wrapped around a tree trunk. With a sudden swing, Elder Angler shot out like an arrow. In the next second, he was standing beside the Palace Master.
The two of them displayed their respective abilities and climbed up the mountain peak that wasn't too majestic after a short while. At the peak of the mountain, the cold wind was biting cold and the ground was covered with white snow. A black hut stood at the peak of the mountain. There wasn't a single speck of snow on the black hut, which was particularly eye-catching in this vast white world.
The two stepped on the snow without leaving a trace and arrived in front of the black room. The pitch-black door slowly opened on its own. Elder Angler stopped at the door while the Li Palace Master walked in step by step.
The door automatically closed and the room sank into darkness.
Whoosh ~
A flame rose into the air and several oil lamps lit up in the four corners of the room, illuminating the black room.
This black room was not spacious and empty. It could be said that there were only four walls. Other than a chair at the very front, there was nothing else.
A person walked out from the darkness and directly sat down on the chair. This person wore a mask and looked deeply at the Palace Master, saying, "You've come."
His voice was desolate and deep, like the ripples of an echo in the valley. There was an indescribable mysterious feeling.
The Li Palace Master knelt down on one knee and respectfully said, "Greetings, Great Lord."
If the people of the Li Palace saw this scene, they would definitely be scared out of their wits. The Palace Master, who had always been high and mighty, was actually kneeling down to a masked person. Moreover, it was done willingly and respectfully.
"Rise." The Great Lord said.
"Thank you, Great Lord."
"You've gained a lot from this time's seclusion. You've actually reached the eighth level of the Great Master realm. Perhaps, in your lifetime, you can break through the shackles of your body and usher in an unprecedented realm — — Martial King." The Great Lord said with praise.
The Palace Master's face revealed a trace of yearning and said, "This subordinate has always wanted to ask the Great Lord about something."
"You want to ask what it's like to be a Martial King, right?" The Great Lord seemed to be able to see through her heart and asked.
The Palace Master was not surprised in the slightest and said with satisfaction, "Yes."
"When you reach that realm, you will naturally know." The Great Lord said unfathomably.
The Palace Master lowered her head and a trace of disappointment flashed across her face.
"This time, I was about to give you a mission. I heard that something happened in the Martial Sect and I need you to go and deal with it." The Great Lord said.
"What happened in the Martial Sect?"
"You will naturally know when you go."
The Palace Master did not dare to ask again.
"The world is getting more and more complicated. Even the Tree of Life has reappeared in the world. Are the cultivators really going to return?" The Great Lord said to himself.
"No way?" The Palace Master's beautiful face turned pale. "The cultivators have been expelled. How can they return?"
"Nothing is absolute. In the past, the cultivators could only be expelled because of the favorable conditions. Now the world has changed. It's no longer the same as before." The Great Lord sighed.
"Is the Great Lord worried about Tian Chanzi and the Hundred Faces Star Lord?" The Palace Master asked.
"Tian Chanzi is not a threat. It's just a small matter. The Hundred Faces Star Lord should be wary. After all, he is a figure from the Great Desolation Era. As the saying goes, old people become shrewd. Don't be fooled by his child-like appearance, his threat is incomparable." The Great Lord said.
The Palace Master said in a deep voice, "This subordinate's disciple has seen this person before. This person is temperamental and is indeed a troublesome guy."
"Not only is he troublesome, but he is also very smart. He did not rely on his powerful cultivation to rush out of the Ten Thousand Mountains. Instead, he quietly lurked in the Ten Thousand Mountains. Even I have no way of knowing what he is doing. This kind of person is indeed a formidable opponent. At first, I thought he would rush out and was prepared to deal with him. However, all of my plans fell through. "The Great Lord said regretfully.
"Do you want this subordinate to lure him out?" The Palace Master volunteered.
"Hehe, your little bit of skill cannot withstand a single blow from him. Why send yourself to your death?" The Great Lord chuckled.
The Palace Master did not feel indignant because of this sentence. Instead, he said guiltily, "This subordinate is useless. My strength is not enough."
"I don't blame you. Perhaps this is just my groundless fears. Back then, the Martial Sect's Sect Leader had already eliminated the infant. Who else has the ability to let all the cultivators of the Sky Beyond Heaven return? "The Great Lord said suspiciously.
The Palace Master's heart thumped. He could not help but remember the crisis a few decades ago. The Martial Sect's disciple gave birth to an infant. It was actually the rarely seen Nine Yang Saint Body.
From ancient times until now, the Nine Yang Saint Body was a cultivation genius. A person with this kind of physique would undoubtedly become a powerful cultivator in the future.
Many mysterious and powerful cultivators were not very worried about the return of cultivators because they were confident that no one could do it.
However, they never would have thought that after the cultivators were expelled, there would still be someone with the Nine Yang Saint Body in this world. This really made these powerful cultivators flabbergasted.
Fortunately, this infant was known by the cultivators from the moment it was born. This was a fortune in the midst of misfortune. It allowed them to strangle this dangerous factor in the cradle.
As a result, they did just that. They painfully made a move on an infant. Of course, the number of people in this world who knew of this matter could be counted on one hand.
The Palace Master thought that the Great Lord was worrying too much. The infant was already dead. The crisis had already been resolved.
"Great Lord, when will you meet Wu Junshan? The Li Palace and the Martial Sect were originally your chess pieces. To not let Wu Junshan know of this secret, martial arts has always been outside. It is not beneficial for us to do anything. "
"Soon. Don't look at how Wu Junshan is younger than you. He is more shrewd than you. If I don't see through him, I will not easily show myself. These past few years, I have been observing him. Those old people by his side have also been observing his every word and action. However, these past few years, he has not made any mistakes. "
"Then isn't he worthy of our trust?"
The Great Lord chuckled and said, "Actually, this time I asked you to go to the Martial Sect for this matter. The Martial Sect has sent back news that there seems to be a problem within the Martial Sect. It seems to be related to this Sect Master. I want you to go and investigate and remove any hidden dangers." The Great Lord ordered.
"This subordinate understands. Whether or not Wu Junshan can enter the Great Lord's eyes will depend on this. His opportunity is right in front of him. It all depends on what he chooses." The Palace Master said, "I hope he does not make the wrong choice. Otherwise, he will be consigned to eternal damnation."
The Great Lord chuckled and declined to comment.
The Li Palace Master said his goodbyes and left the black room. The door closed once again. Elder Angler was still standing at the door. He glanced at her and said, "You're leaving just like that?"
"I am not as idle as you. I have a life of hard work." The Palace Master made a rare joke.
