Gongye Hong narrowed her eyes and stood up, her gaze cold as it swept over the faces of those brought by Elder Liu. "Where is Elder Liu?"
"He went to heal," a disciple of the Temple of Martial Arts replied timidly.
Some disciples had witnessed Elder Liu ruthlessly attack the people Gongye Hong had brought back, and they speculated about what had happened. No matter how they thought about it, they couldn't make sense of it. Although Elder Liu and Gongye Hong's grandfather, Gongye Long, had a strained relationship, it didn't seem likely that they would publicly turn against each other.
Recently, the Temple of Martial Arts had been chaotic, with significant pressure from both the Privy Hall and the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming. Everyone's mood was quite poor.
Hearing the disciple's words, Gongye Hong was furious. She sheathed her sword and was about to confront Elder Liu when two elderly men and a middle-aged man flew over.
"Hong'er, what happened?" asked an elderly man in blue robes, who bore some resemblance to Gongye Hong.
"Grandfather, Master of the Hall, Left Envoy, Wei Chen is over there, but he was killed by Elder Liu!" Gongye Hong's face turned pale as she spoke urgently. The current situation was beyond her expectations; Wei Chen's death not only meant failure in this mission but also risked provoking a bloody retaliation from the Wei Family!
In fact, the Temple of Martial Arts had never truly considered going to war with the Wei Family. The Wei Family in the Southern Ming Divine Domain was not to be trifled with!
"What?" The three high-ranking members of the Temple of Martial Arts were furious.
They hurriedly flew to Wei Chen's side. The Hall Master reached out to probe Wei Chen's Dantian, and his aged face immediately contorted in shock. "He’s not dead yet, but he won't last long."
"Not dead?" Gongye Hong's spirits lifted as she knelt before the Old Master. "Please, Master of the Hall, save Wei Chen! He saved my life on the way here!"
Gongye Hong's expression was sorrowful, tears welling in her eyes. Throughout their journey, she had developed a good impression of Wei Chen, the fifth son of the Wei Family, and she did not want to see him come to harm. Moreover, she vaguely suspected that the deaths of two experts from the Privy Hall were also related to Wei Chen! This bond was not insignificant; it was a life-saving grace!
"We will do our best."
The Old Master exchanged glances with Gongye Long and the Left Envoy before nodding in agreement. Together, they helped Wei Chen sit up. Gongye Long placed his palms on Wei Chen's back while the Left Envoy positioned his hands on Wei Chen's chest. The Old Master levitated above them, placing his palms on Wei Chen's head.
Gongye Hong was surprised to see Wei Chen's brow twitch. A pungent, foul gas emerged from his body, forming a red mist.
"Hong'er, step back. There’s fire poison and snake venom in this gas," Gongye Long said in a low voice, his expression grim. Elder Liu had actually resorted to such lethal measures against someone like him? Even the well-informed Gongye Long felt that Elder Liu's actions were utterly excessive.
Gongye Hong quickly held her breath but didn’t move away. Her heart raced; she couldn’t bear to miss even the slightest change on Wei Chen's face.
Wei Chen had regained consciousness. In reality, he was just in terrible shape due to the body of the same name from the Wei Family. He himself was perfectly fine; Elder Liu's meager strength wasn’t enough to harm his soul.
"These old fellows are quite formidable. Gongye Hong's grandfather, Gongye Long, and that Old Master are both at the Supreme God level."
"The Endless Divine Realm is truly not as simple as I thought. There aren’t many Supreme Gods here, but definitely more than a few."
"Just within this Temple of Martial Arts, there must be no less than ten Supreme God-level figures."
Wei Chen could sense powerful auras scanning his body. These auras were hidden in the shadows, and their numbers were considerable; he couldn’t estimate how many there were. If he summoned his Stellar Power to probe, he would certainly be able to "see" everything, but he didn’t dare do so. If his identity were exposed, it would be troublesome.
So he could only play dead.
At that moment, the Old Master of the Temple of Martial Arts, Gongye Hong's grandfather Gongye Long, and three top experts referred to as Left Envoy by Gongye Hong began to take action.
Wei Chen sensed three streams of strong Divine Power—metallic, water-based, and solar—flooding into his body wildly.
The Metallic Divine Power carried a fierce killing intent, ruthlessly ravaging Wei Chen's meridians; following it was the Water Attribute Divine Power, which repaired the damaged veins and eliminated the fire poison within Wei Chen; while the solar Divine Power exuded a strong aura of righteousness and purity, cleansing the snake venom from Wei Chen's Dantian!
As these Divine Powers helped detoxify Wei Chen’s body, they also enhanced his strength. However, no matter how much he improved, as Duke of Sui Wei Jian's son in the Southern Ming Divine Domain, Wei Chen was still seen as a joke—a near symbol of uselessness.
Half an hour later, feeling much better all over, Wei Chen opened his eyes and said, "Thank you three seniors; I’m fine now. Please stop."
The Old Master was the first to withdraw his hand, followed by the Left Envoy who retracted his Divine Power, and finally, Gongye Hong's grandfather, Gongye Long, also removed his Water Attribute Divine Power.
Wei Chen stood up and bowed deeply to the three of them, saying in a serious tone, "I cannot express my gratitude for your life-saving grace. If you have any tasks for me, I will do my utmost."
"Haha, friend, you truly surprise us!" The Old Master smiled, and both Gongye Long and the Left Envoy looked at Wei Chen with amused expressions.
Wei Chen's heart skipped a beat. Surprise? Could it be that his identity had already been recognized?
"May I ask what has surprised you three seniors?" Wei Chen slightly bent his waist and replied calmly. He remained respectful towards powerful figures. Being new to the Endless Divine Realm or the Southern Ming Divine Domain, he held a strong sense of caution. The Endless Divine Realm was the greatest enemy of the Ancient World Spatial Dimension System, and Wei Chen was well aware of this.
"That you were able to defeat Elder Liu is enough to surprise us," the Old Master said lightly.
Wei Chen humbly replied, "I merely caught him off guard; in a real battle, I am no match for Elder Liu. He is a genuine Fifth-Level Deity, while I am only at the Secondary God level."
Wei Chen chose this body partly because the Wei Chen from Duke Sui's Residence was similar in status to the Wei Chen from the Demon Realm within the Divine Realm. His current combat power was strong, but that was due to Stellar Power rather than the Divine Realm System of the Endless Divine Realm. Within that system, Wei Chen was merely at the Secondary God level.
In the Endless Divine Realm, many natives—especially those like Duke of Sui Wei Jian—had descendants who were born into the Divine Realm from the moment they came into existence. Generally speaking, descendants of Supreme Gods start at First-Level Deity. Wei Jian's son, Wei Chen, began at First-Level Divine Realm; however, this fellow showed no interest in martial arts or cultivation and remained only at Secondary God level—quite embarrassing.
Just look at Gongye Hong from the Temple of Martial Arts; he was about the same age as Wei Chen but far surpassed him in terms of Divine Power. It was no wonder that Wei Jian felt no sorrow over his fifth son; within the Southern Ming Divine Domain, Wei Chen was nothing more than a laughingstock. Why would Wei Jian waste any thoughts on such a useless child?
It was understandable why the Old Master and others were puzzled; anyone would be confused in their place.
Wei Chen did not want to dwell on this issue any longer as it might reveal too much. He cupped his fists towards Gongye Long, the Old Master, and the Left Envoy and said, "Seniors, if you wish for me to come to the Temple of Martial Arts again next time, just summon me directly; there’s no need for Sister Gongye to run around."
"Let’s talk inside," they replied.
With a wave of his hand, the Old Master enveloped Wei Chen in a surge of energy, propelling him into the Temple of Martial Arts.
Seeing the three powerful figures take Wei Chen away, Gongye Hong hesitated for a moment before leaping to follow them.
Inside the grand hall of the Temple of Martial Arts, Wei Chen stood tall and straight, meeting the gazes of the three esteemed figures without a hint of fear. Gongye Hong stood to one side, recounting her encounter with the elders from Privy Hall and the battle with Elder Liu.
Wei Chen noticed that the Old Master's expression had darkened.
"The people from Privy Hall have been stirring lately. Who will determine the future of the Southern Ming Divine Domain?"
"This young man here is quite a promising candidate. Ha! A Fellow from the Ancient World Spatial Dimension System—given some time, what is the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming worth?"
"They are all notorious Intruders!"
The term "Intruder" was known only to a select few within the Endless Divine Realm. Many had forgotten past pains once their wounds had healed.
…
At the same time, in the highest power center of the Southern Ming Divine Domain, within the Sea Palace at the heart of Xing'an City, a strikingly handsome Fellow who appeared to be around thirty was listening to a subordinate report news.
"Reporting to the Supreme God, Duke of Sui Wei Jian's son Wei Chen has been abducted by the Temple of Martial Arts. He encountered an ambush from Privy Hall on his way but ultimately reached the Temple."
"News from the Temple of Martial Arts indicates that Wei Jian's son Wei Chen is no ordinary individual; he injured a Fifth-Level Deity there and possesses remarkable swordsmanship."
"Meanwhile, Privy Hall is restless, and at Duke Sui's Residence, Wei Jian has already stirred up chaos in Xing'an City."
An elderly man knelt on the ground, his head bowed, not daring to look at his lofty master—the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, ruler of the entire Southern Ming Divine Domain!
The handsome Supreme Deity of Southern Ming nodded slightly and said, "Alright, I understand. Uncle, you may leave now."
"What do you plan to do about this matter?" the elder asked respectfully.
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming replied calmly, "My time is limited. This matter should take its course."
"Then, what should we do about the expedition against the Ancient World?" the elder inquired again. He was the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming's uncle, having witnessed his legendary rise. In such difficult times, he was the only one daring enough to ask so many questions in front of the Supreme Deity. Others would not even dare to breathe in his presence.
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming appeared gentle and handsome, but only those who frequently visited the Sea Palace knew how volatile his temper could be! Moreover, the current Supreme Deity of Southern Ming was severely injured, his complexion pale and sickly, making his temper even harder to control.
When he got angry, it was not an exaggeration to say that the earth would change color.
Hearing the elder's words, the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming sneered, "An expedition against the Ancient World?"
"Yes, how many people should we send to the Ancient World?" the elder asked.
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming scoffed, "For that matter, not a single person from our Southern Ming Divine Domain will go. If they want to go, let them go themselves. The Bloodshed Shop selection is imminent; who would dare waste their strength on the Ancient World?"
"What? The Bloodshed Shop is holding a selection again?" The elder's face turned pale with panic. The selection by the Bloodshed Shop was a grand event for the entire Endless Divine Realm but also a nightmare for everyone within it!
