Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed, secretly astonished, for the appearance of the bronze coffins was so bizarre that even he hadn't been able to sense its arrival in advance.
It was obvious that this bronze coffin was a rare strange treasure.
After the bronze coffins appeared, a wave of Divine Thought imdiately emanated from within: "Taoist Zhao, there's no need to worry. Although Fenglong can be domineering, he has always been true to his word. He has never gone back on a promise."
Hearing this, Zhao Sheng's heart stirred, a strange sense of familiarity arose.
The characteristic of the other's Divine Thought was very peculiar, as if he had encountered it sowhere before.
Zhao Sheng thought for a mont, then intentionally mocked, "You don't even dare to show your face, yet you guarantee soone in person. Such audacity is truly ridiculous."
"Please don't misunderstand, Mr. Wu indeed has a difficult situation and cannot reveal himself easily. I hope you can forgive ," the voice inside the coffin carried a hint of apology, with a very humble attitude, lacking the domineering stance expected of a Qintian Guard's Evil God.
Mr. Wu?
Zhao Sheng's spirit light flashed, and he finally rembered where he had "t" this person, tentatively asking, "You are... Wu Yue!"
A surprised sound ca from the coffin: "Oh, do you know , Mr. Wu? Why have I never..."
Zhao Sheng suddenly interrupted him with a smile, "Mr. Wu, you're alive?! I thought you had perished in that Demon Emperor's Cave Heaven, but to think we would et again, truly a cause for celebration!"
"Hmm?... Ah! I rember, Mr. Wu realized, aren't you Taoist Zhao who carried out that secret mission with ? You're still alive too, incredible!"
The bronze coffins vibrated violently, with the Divine Thought emanating from within showing extre shock.
"I barely escaped from Taopu Demon Emperor, you Mr. Wu—"
Halfway through Zhao Sheng's words, his expression suddenly changed: "No, you did not recognize before, so you are not Wu Yue, who are you really?"
After saying that, a terrifying pressure suddenly rose in the void, suppressing the space-ti around the bronze coffins.
"Taoist, please don't act rashly, this matter is a long story! Let explain."
Seeing this, Hidden inside the coffin, Wu Yue hurriedly began to explain, revealing a secret.
It turned out that Wu Yue was from the Spirit-controlling Immortal Sect's Corpse Resurrection Immortal lineage. The disciples of this lineage would begin by sacrificial refining a Lifebound Corpse.
The Lifebound Corpse not only had the strongest combat power but also the ability to command Wanshi, and most importantly, it could "resurrect."
If a disciple of this line happened to die, there would be a certain probability for their Divine Soul to "resurrect" in the Lifebound Corpse.
Even though they would beco neither alive nor dead "monsters," they could be considered to live another life and continue on their Taoist path.
Wu Yue's True Body did indeed fall within the Demon Emperor's Cave Heaven, but fortunately, he had left a Divine Split within the Lifebound Corpse beforehand.
Therefore, when the main body fell, the Divine Split seized the body of the Lifebound Corpse to beco "alive" again.
However, such a heaven-defying deed is most easily envied by the heavens.
To avoid the Heavenly Punishnt Tribulation, Wu Yue had to hide in the bronze coffins for years, living a life devoid of daylight.
He joined the Qintian Guard to earn Heavenly Dao rits and reduce the Heavenly Punishnt Tribulation.
In fact, among the Twelve Fiend Gods of Qintian Guard, more than half are "outcasts" with the sa intention.
Additionally, the reason why Wu Yue did not recognize Zhao Sheng is simple, the last mory of the Divine Split was up to the mont Wu Yue participated in the mission, and it was completely unaware of everything that happened after that.
After hearing everything, Zhao Sheng finally understood, and his hostility quickly dissipated.
"So it really was a misunderstanding on my part. Mr. Wu, please forgive ," Zhao Sheng laughed heartily, then said with a smile, "With Mr. Wu's guarantee, I naturally have no doubts."
With that, he casually tossed the Eye of Thunder Tribulation into the sky.
Buzz!
An electric flash passed, and the Eye of Thunder Tribulation barely hovered in midair.
Having lost face, it had no place to remain and, leaving a few parting words, swiftly dived into the void, disappearing without a trace.
Seeing this, Wu Yue was also embarrassed to stay any longer and imdiately proposed to leave.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Sheng repeatedly insisted on keeping him to talk at length.
Wu Yue could not refuse further, reluctantly agreeing to stay.
Thus, Zhao Sheng took the bronze coffins away, leaving the cultivators in the hall completely forgotten.
A well-arranged Taoist gathering was thus aborted midway.
The Zhao Family, led by Zhao Xiandu, felt both aggrieved and invigorated,
At the sa ti, Zhao Xiandu had to lose face, apologizing repeatedly to the present cultivators, stating that today's hospitality was inadequate and asked for their leniency.
Having witnessed the astonishing Divine Skill of the Zhao Family's Ancestor, the cultivators were eager to ingratiate rather than offend the Zhao Family. Hence, they generously expressed no grievance, suggesting regular future interactions between the families.
So factions were more overt, subtly probing for family alliances, or suggesting a Qilin'er in the family to marry a noble lady of the Zhao Family or offering to marry a granddaughter into the Zhao Family.
Of course, there were more interest-based collaborations.
In this way, a bad situation turned into a good one!
The Divine Artisan Zhao Clan beca exceptionally busy, with their influence expanding quickly once again.
In a short ti, the Divine Artisan Zhao Clan welcod another round of expansion, and the speed of expansion increased rapidly, lasting a long, long ti.
For Zhao Sheng, these "small matters" of family expansion were naturally not a concern.
Now most of his attention was on Wu Yue.
After so subtle probing, Zhao Sheng finally gathered so information about Xue Susu from Wu Yue.
It turned out that the reason Wu Yue could join the Qintian Guard was largely due to Xue Susu's efforts.
Since Xue Susu successfully completed that secret mission, not only did her reputation soar, but she later was successfully apprenticed under an Immortal Venerable.
Her status was now incomparable to her previous one, even a Tribulation Crossing Venerable had to show her so respect.
Zhao Sheng vaguely felt sothing amiss, after repeated subtle probes, he discovered that Wu Yue was completely unaware of the true nature of the secret mission and naturally had no clue about the suspicion that Yun Qing Venerable had seized Xue Susu's body.
Half a month later, the bronze coffins slowly ascended into the sky, and the next mont disappeared without a trace.
Zhao Sheng looked up at where the coffins vanished, his smile gradually disappeared, and his expression beca extrely serious.
At this mont, he felt very heavy-hearted, for anyone who knew such a big secret would feel anxious and uneasy.
Zhao Sheng couldn't predict what Xue Susu would do upon learning he was still alive.
Ignore? Or simply kill to keep him silent!
Faced with soone suspected to be a Tribulation Crossing Venerable, he couldn't help but think more.
Zhao Sheng secretly decided that he must break through to the Unification Realm soon.
After creating a Grotto Heaven, his safety would greatly increase.
Even if he still wasn't a match, he could rely on the natural concealnt of the Grotto Heaven to escape the pursuit of a Tribulation Crossing Venerable.
