Hearing the words of Great Luo, the expression on Heavenly Dao's face was a faint smile, mingled with a hint of mystery as he cast a strange glance at Wen Yu.
"There’s no need for the Great Luo Alliance Master to worry. Before my master passed away, he left numerous treasures for Junior Brother, including the supreme treasure of the Immortal Heroic World—the Heaven-Covering Banner. With this treasure in hand, the young master's life is absolutely secure!"
Heavenly Dao's words caused Wen Yu's heart to stop!
Looking at the subtly smiling Heavenly Dao, Wen Yu carefully pondered the content of his words, and he felt a chill run down his spine.
"Innocent people may suffer for possessing treasures."
Heavenly Dao was clearly pushing him into a fire pit.
...
As soon as Heavenly Dao finished speaking, the atmosphere in the banquet hall suddenly became tense.
Countless pairs of eyes were fixed on Wen Yu’s back, filled with greed and skepticism, making Wen Yu instantly aware of others' attitudes toward the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor's legacy.
"You, a mere Level Five brat, how could you possibly monopolize the treasures left behind by the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor?"
The one to break this silence was, surprisingly, Great Luo.
"Oh? The Heaven-Covering Banner?"
"Exactly, it is indeed the Heaven-Covering Banner!"
Upon finishing his words, Heavenly Dao, perhaps feeling that his persuasion was insufficient, gently moved his right hand, and a piece of black cloth appeared in his palm.
“Whoosh!”
Dozens of gazes followed Heavenly Dao’s right hand as he revealed the Heaven-Covering Banner, and only after he stored it back in the Spatial Ring did the hall erupt with buzzing discussions.
"It seems to really be the Heaven-Covering Banner."
"It is indeed; I’ve seen it once before."
"Tsk tsk, the number one hidden treasure of the Immortal Heroic World. It is said that the Immortal Emperor escaped countless disasters thanks to the Heaven-Covering Banner before achieving the Great Dao!"
"This thing... tsk tsk... the young master really has a good start..."
The nearly unreserved discussions in the banquet hall echoed in Wen Yu's ears.
Heavenly Dao's simple action instantly ignited the hidden greed within everyone present—who wouldn't want something like the Heaven-Covering Banner?
However, in front of Heavenly Dao, the situation was still under control—after all, Heavenly Dao explicitly stated that the Heaven-Covering Banner was left for the young master. Who among them would dare to boldly question the ownership of the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor's legacy?
"Yes, it is indeed the Heaven-Covering Banner."
Great Luo, who was closest to Heavenly Dao and the strongest in power, lightly nodded, acknowledging the authenticity of the Heaven-Covering Banner, and then spoke again.
"In that case, the young master’s safety should no longer be a concern. The young master can stay on the Sixth Level of the Heavenly Palace and contribute to the Heavenly Palace. What do you think, young master?"
"As the young master of the Heavenly Palace, it is my duty!"
Though Wen Yu's words appeared righteous, there was a slight tremor in his voice.
Heavenly Dao confirmed his own identity but also tricked him once with the supreme treasure—Wen Yu couldn't grasp Heavenly Dao's true attitude at all.
"Wait, I have a different opinion."
Wen Yu suddenly turned to the side!
...
"Wait, I have a different opinion."
Luo Hai, who was sitting beside Great Luo, slowly stood up, respectfully bowing to Heavenly Dao and Great Luo, then ignoring Wen Yu's surprised gaze, he spoke for himself.
"Actually, in my opinion, the importance of the Sixth Level of the Heavenly Palace is quite low. If the war intensifies, even if we all die in battle, it would be no concern. Leaving the Heaven-Covering Banner on the Sixth Level of the Heavenly Palace seems like a waste!"
"I believe that as the supreme treasure of the Immortal Heroic World, the Heaven-Covering Banner should be utilized to its fullest potential. Currently, the young master’s strength is not strong, and wielding the Heaven-Covering Banner would not yield great results. But if it were left in the Upper Heavenly Palace, in the hands of a stronger person, then its strategic value is evident."
