"Grandfather, as you know, Lian Xue is the one with the richest bloodline among the younger generation of our War God Clan, and she struggles to find an equal in her class."
"I was worried that Lian Xue wouldn’t find a man. Then that guy, Master Mingyu, sought out. He said his direct descendant, Mingyan, admires Lian Xue greatly and asked for her hand in marriage."
"I examined the information about him. Although his martial prowess was slightly inferior to Lian Xue’s, he still stood out among his peers, so I agreed."
Upon hearing this, War God Wu imdiately realized sothing. "Hmm?" he mused, then said directly, "Are you saying that the murder of Master Mingyu just now is related to the man Lian Xue has just taken up with?"
"Grandfather is wise!" Zhan Qiankun flattered.
"Stop the flattery, get to the point," said War God Wu.
"The man that Lian Xue has just taken up with is nad Hongng. Three months ago, he appeared before us all with only Divine King Cultivation."
"But he’s very popular with the ladies. The Donghuang Honorables and her sister, the Yaochi Female Emperor, are both his won. The Tiger Clan even lost two Peak Emperor Level fighters over their jealousy."
"Of course, that’s not all. Hongng reerged later on the Emperor-level Battlefield, now with Divine Emperor Cultivation, sweeping through the entire battlefield alone."
"Yes, I’ve heard of this. Right now, countless strong figures in the Abyssal Dinsion are itching to get at him. The kid is really sothing—I like his style. As for his affair with Little Snow, I approve!" War God Wu said with a laugh.
He had so guesses about what followed.
As expected, Zhan Qiankun continued, "Recently, Hongng’s cultivation level broke through again. He ventured onto the Imperial-level Battlefield. To everyone’s surprise, just after his breakthrough, he exhibited incredible strength. Not even Lian Xue could stand against him, and she was conquered by him right away."
"Then Mingyan tracked down Lian Xue and discovered Hongng..."
At this point, War God Wu pretty much understood. Two n and one woman. A fight was bound to happen. Unsurprisingly, Mingyan was killed. Then, the old fellow behind Mingyan, Master Mingyu, stepped in. Unable to enter the Imperial-level Battlefield, Master Mingyu had no choice but to target the won around Hongng.
"I think that Venerable must be closely related to Hongng..." Zhan Qiankun speculated.
"It’s more than just a Venerable; Hongng must be involved with The Sovereign," War God Wu said solemnly.
The Sovereign... that is a truly supre, taboo existence; even ntioning those two words feels incredibly weighty.
"What? The Sovereign?" Zhan Qiankun exclaid, his eyes filled with astonishnt.
Because War God Wu is a Venerable, even if there is a Venerable behind Hongng, he would be confident when facing Hongng.
But The Sovereign is different. That is an entity surpassing all Venerables, a supre and taboo existence.
"Alright, you know enough for now. Don’t spread it," War God Wu sternly instructed.
Anything concerning The Sovereign must be treated with the utmost discretion.
Of course, with The Sovereign backing Hongng, the news can’t be kept secret for long.
Zhan Qiankun and the other Supre Ones hadn’t been on the scene, so they didn’t know Female Master Nuwa had been acting on orders; hence, they were unaware of The Sovereign.
But the other Venerables knew.
Moreover, Mingyan was killed by Hongng, and Master Mingyu sought revenge by targeting the Sacred Grounds of Yaochi. Female Master Nuwa had been commanded to protect Eastern Phoenix Yunxi and slew Master Mingyu.
Anyone with a brain can guess that Hongng must know The Sovereign.
"Grandfather, rest assured. Even if you loaned ten tis the courage, I still wouldn’t dare to rashly spread information about The Sovereign," Zhan Qiankun assured, a trace of excitent in his eyes.
After all, it was The Sovereign.
Hongng being Zhan Lianxue’s man implies that they might also be able to forge a slight connection with The Sovereign.
"Lian Xue truly has an eye for talent!" Zhan Qiankun said excitedly.
"Little Snow indeed has good taste, but you’re a blind fool! Just looking at you annoys !"
War God Wu kicked him squarely, sending Zhan Qiankun flying like a cannonball, smashing through dozens of mountains before finally coming to a halt.
"Grandfather’s lesson is well taken!"
Zhan Qiankun crawled out of the crater, thinking about how he had arranged a marriage for Zhan Lianxue, only for the prospective groom to be wiped out along with his connections in the blink of an eye. His judgnt was certainly unique.
He imdiately sent a ssage to Zhan Lianxue, detailing the events that had transpired. Of course, he didn’t ntion anything about The Sovereign.
「On the Imperial-level Battlefield.」
Inside the Golden Chariot pulled by Nine Divine Dragons, Zhan Lianxue received Zhan Qiankun’s ssage and was completely stupefied.
She looked at Hongng in shock.
Hongng had already told her that he needed no help from her.
But she was still worried, so she had sent a ssage to Zhan Qiankun, hoping he would protect the Sacred Grounds of Yaochi.
However, she never imagined that Hongng truly didn’t need her help.
What was even more terrifying was that not only did he not need her help, but he also directly killed Master Mingyu.
So Hongng also has a Venerable backing him. And a Female Master who had never before made an appearance!
"No wonder you’re so brazen; you’ve got a Venerable backing you up," Zhan Lianxue said, her beautiful eyes gazing at Hongng as her slender, powerful, fair arms wrapped around his neck. "Well done."
With that, she planted a firm kiss on Hongng.
"Doesn’t it hurt anymore?" Hongng asked with a smile.
"What’s a little injury?" Zhan Lianxue scoffed, completely unconcerned.
Hongng’s heart stirred. He loved this warrior-like drive and boldness in Zhan Lianxue. Even when injured, she never complains. Her fighting spirit is always high. The more setbacks she faces, the braver she becos. Always ready for a bloody battle. Truly worthy of being called a Female War God.
Hongng swept her up in his arms.
...
「anwhile.」
The Venerables of the Eternal Continent also received information about the enmity, grievances, and various reports concerning Hongng, Master Mingyu, Mingyan, and Eastern Phoenix Yunxi.
They dared not inquire into matters of The Sovereign, but understanding the relationships between individuals like Hongng and Master Mingyu was still permissible.
