Chapter 1132: Chapter 426: Pulling Up Radishes Brings Up the Dirt Chapter 1132: Chapter 426: Pulling Up Radishes Brings Up the Dirt Why do sects wear out the Heavenly List circulated by the Dutian Heavenly King? Isn’t it because, compared to waiting for a prodigy of their own whose arrival is uncertain, it is more convenient to recruit a powerhouse who, as long as they can comprehend their own bloodline, can attain the King Realm.

After all, every powerhouse in the King Realm represents the fortune to suppress a sect for hundreds of years, and even if the life span of a king is extremely high, they can secure enough time for the younger generation to comprehend the Dao.

However, Heaven-level Bloodlines are ultimately too rare; in the vast Xiehe, with more than a billion martial artists, everyone who manifests a Heaven-level Bloodline becomes world-renowned.

Once, a sage said that those born with Heaven-level Bloodlines are not for the Sacred Land Sects to compete over but to lead the Human Race and find a farther path.

This is the status of those with Heaven-level Bloodlines in this era, and Chen Menglu is a talent that all major sects are determined to obtain.

Such a person is someone Lu Shaolin would pull into his fold eagerly, not someone he would allow Xiang Ange to slander.

Listening to Master Shaolin’s stern reprimand, Xiang Ange’s heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.

If it was as the other party said, and Chen Menglu was not an ally of Gou Chen, then could his sudden appearance in Chaochang have been targeting the Xiang Family from the start?

After all, a person skilled in stirring conspiracies tends to judge others by himself, so even some seemingly protective logical conditions now seem a bit weird.

For instance, why did Chen Menglu appear at the Desolate Ridge Wooden House, why did he vaguely take over the karma of Gou Chen, and why did these other three spirit bodies manage to arrive at the battlefield so coincidentally.

All these accidents happening before their eyes, after hearing Lu Shaolin’s rebuke, took on a different color, and Xiang Ange couldn’t help but ponder, if the other party really was targeting the Xiang Family, what was his purpose?

High above the clouds, Chen Menglu glanced at Lu Shaolin and bowed with a salute, “Master Shaolin, it’s been a long time!”

“Master Chen, you seem well.” Lu Shaolin, supported by the void, rose to the clouds, ascending to a position on par with the Illusionary Master, and said from a distance, “As soon as Master Chen left the mountain, you came to Chaochang. Why not visit Yulin Pavilion? Could it be that you think the temple too small to accommodate a great Buddha?”

“Master Shaolin is too kind,” Chen Menglu waved his hand and said indifferently, “With Pavilion Master Lu here, who in the world would dare to belittle Yulin Pavilion? It’s just that my visit this time is to support an old friend in battle. I didn’t want to involve Yulin Pavilion; hence, I did not pay a visit.”

“You’re being too modest, Master Chen!” Lu Shaolin insisted earnestly, “Although Yulin Pavilion is a small sect with little influence and wants to avoid trouble, we are not afraid of it. Everyone who has been to Mount Xumi knows what kind of person Master Chen is. The old friend capable of inviting Master Chen out of seclusion must naturally be a hero. If ever in difficulty, Master Chen need only speak up. In the Southern Region of Longzhou, Yulin Pavilion still has some influence. If we can achieve our goal without resorting to battle, it might be a good thing!”

Respect is mutual. As a cultivator of Mount Xumi, Chen Menglu has been solicited numerous times over the years.

Emissaries like those from Yang Kangzong, year after year, if not fifty times, then at least thirty, and not seldom from Zhongzhou, the outer seas, Peng Lai, let alone Yulin Pavilion from the same Longzhou.

What is known as affection is mostly karma that needs to be resolved through reciprocity. Without giving, there can be no receiving; the truth that one can’t catch a wolf without putting a child (shoe) at risk has remained unchanged through the ages.

This is where Chen Menglu fled from Martial Saint Mountain, and Yulin Pavilion was worried about not finding opportunities to forge a connection. Now that a ready chance had presented itself, how could Lu Shaolin hesitate?

As the Grandmaster of the Lu family line within the Yulin Pavilion, Lu Shaolin’s status was quite extraordinary, and his words largely represented the intentions of Pavilion Master Lu Chen.

It was like when Dapeng Grandmaster Bu Jiu intruded into the forbidden grounds of Yulin Pavilion. While other Grandmasters could only seethe inwardly, Lu Shaolin could lead a team to set up formations, detaining the intruder–that was the rationale.

Clearly, Lu Shaolin’s words were an announcement that he intended to take sides with Chen Menglu, leaving Xiang Ange pale with dismay as he closely watched the developments above.

Who could have imagined that the eagerly-awaited reinforcements would end up entangled with the enemy upon arrival? Now, the Xiang Family was truly in deep trouble.

As ill-luck would have it, warriors from the Fierce Realm of all four camps rushed to the scene upon hearing the news, seeing their struggling comrades-in-arms and the two Grandmasters who were desperately holding on.

Eager to pounce, they gave Master Shaolin in the sky an opportunity to show off.

With a wave of his hand, he summoned formations, and ice-cold raindrops fell. Each blue drop burst into an icy flower upon descent. Connecting from one icy bloom to another, they formed ice curtains, and multiple walls of ice merged to create numerous frigid ice cages, enveloping the rushing Xiang Family warriors heading towards the battlefield.

The icy cages struck with a fierce chill, causing the warriors of the Xiang Family’s Fierce Realm to turn around, preparing to repel this sudden attack. With Spirit Arts readied in their hands, they were about to unleash their power, only to feel a wave of haziness before their eyes.

Upon focusing, it seemed like just an illusion; the ice cages were approaching ever closer. The members of the Xiang Family pushed out their Spirit Arts without holding back, but to the onlookers, the Xiang warriors looked as if they had gone mad. Instead of striking at the ice cages descending from the sky, they twisted their bodies and turned their Spirit Arts against their allies beside them.

Who would have expected that the lethal attack would come from beside them and not the sky above? The perfectly hitting Spirit Arts resulted in the unguarded warriors of the Fierce Realm being seriously injured and then trapped by the Mysterious Ice Cage that descended from above.

For the first time, the Mysterious Ice Spirit Formation paired with the Illusionary Dream Space to trap dozens of the Xiang Family’s warriors together. This made Lu Shaolin’s heart burn even hotter. He was about to speak when he saw Chen Menglu salute with cupped hands and calmly say, “Many thanks to Master Shaolin for the assistance. However, this matter is a personal grudge between Chen and the Xiang Family. It would be best for Yulin Pavilion to stay out of it. If I am free another day, I will be sure to visit the Pavilion Master.”

With the situation pointed out to this extent by the other party, Lu Shaolin also knew that continuing to press the matter would be fruitless, so he reluctantly said, “In that case, so be it!”

With Master Shaolin turning the table and the Xiang Family’s reinforcements trapped within the Mysterious Ice Cage, Xiang Ange knew the Xiang Family had reached a dead end. Observing the group of onlookers relishing the moment, he could guess there was no one willing to step in and speak up for justice on behalf of the Xiang Family.

Before long, the warriors of the Fierce Realm within the Wilderness will all perish, and Yanyun Grandmaster along with Xiang Family’s Ancestor will run out of Spiritual Power. If it reached that point, the Xiang Family would truly have fallen from grace.

Knowing he had to reveal his ace in the hole or face the Xiang Family’s demise, Xiang Ange quickly pulled out a divine plaque shimmering with colors from within his robes and shouted to the heavens, “The Xiang Family is a Longzhou envoy bestowed by the Heavenly Court. I entreat you, Master Chen, in the name of the An Family Divine Dynasty, to spare the Xiang Family this once!”

Seeing the token held by Xiang Ange on the ground, Lu Shaolin’s face drastically changed. He turned to Chen Menglu, who remained unfazed, and said, “Master Chen, please stop, at least for now. With this status, the Xiang Family cannot be moved!”

The token was but an inanimate object, yet the significance it represented was profoundly heavy.
