“Today, I mainly came to pay a visit to the young master and admire his charm. Since I have rudely intruded, I will take my leave now.”
After saying this, Luo Hai immediately stood up, greeted his three lackeys, and then walked straight towards the door.
Seeing this scene, Wen Yu found it hard to gauge Luo Hai's intentions—this fool flaunted his authority in front of him and then left after putting on an act. What was this?
Was it a show-off? Or simply a display of power?
“By the way, your highness the young master, there's something I almost forgot.”
Luo Hai, who had already reached the door, paused his steps and added, “Although the identity of the Heavenly Palace's young master is high, with such status comes greater responsibilities, like the war with the demonic clan and the distribution of internal resources, etc. I've heard from the people of Lingyun City that the young master needs a lot of things. However, according to the rules of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, some things, even the young master cannot take without reason. For example, the only supreme treasure left by the immortal emperor—the Heaven-Covering Banner. The importance of a supreme treasure in the current Immortal Heroic World is self-evident. After the immortal emperor's death, countless eyes are watching the techniques and treasures left behind. I hope your highness the young master will not let the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor rest in peace beneath the nine springs.”
After finishing his words, Luo Hai took large strides, leaving the Heavenly Extremity Hall with his three lackeys, leaving Wen Yu sitting in silence, his expression dark.
…
Luo Hai's last sentence clarified everything.
The legacy left behind by the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor was originally meant for the entire Heavenly Palace—how much did the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor leave behind? What would be the value of these things?
Wen Yu could imagine all of this with just a thought.
However, since he, the “young master,” had emerged suddenly and infringed upon some people's interests, it was no wonder that he was targeted!
“He's testing your strength! Just now, there was a fluctuation in skills; although it was weak, I sensed it.”
Tang Haofei, who was beside him, pointed out another reason for Luo Hai's visit.
“Indeed, he is testing my strength.”
Wen Yu could also guess a bit about Luo Hai's thoughts. Although Wen Yu's status was high, Luo Hai's was not low either. However, status was not a decisive factor—when the two had a dispute over certain matters, the attitudes of the Heavenly Dao and Great Luo were indeed crucial, but one's own strength was also a significant aspect.
To put it bluntly, the greatest function of status is to bolster one's own strength—this statement holds true whether in the apocalypse or before it. One can climb up if the status is insufficient, but if the strength is lacking, one would truly be doomed.
“That guy is strong!”
Tang Haofei's second remark was a small compliment to Luo Hai.
“I certainly know he’s strong; if he weren’t, he couldn’t possibly sit in front of me and talk so much.”
Wen Yu's expression darkened even more—he couldn't assess Luo Hai's strength, which meant that Luo Hai was significantly stronger than him.
“How does he compare to you?”
“Not much difference.”
Tang Haofei's expression also became somewhat grim.
At this stage, Old Tang's strength might already surpass what it was at his peak in his previous life; after all, Old Tang had been an eighth-level strongman!
Yet, the sixth-level Luo Hai seemed to match the current fifth-level Tang Haofei in strength, making Tang Haofei ponder whether he had lived in a one-eyed belly in his previous life.
…
Luo Hai's words successfully disturbed Wen Yu's mindset. Unable to think clearly, Wen Yu decisively consulted the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine.
“What did Luo Hai's last sentence mean?”
“It doesn’t mean much. Originally, after the immortal emperor's death, I planned to hand over the things he left to you, but indeed there are rules in the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, as Luo Hai mentioned. In fact, these things aren’t important; what truly matters are the intentions of the Heavenly Dao and Great Luo. Do you understand what I mean?”
