Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

Within Zhongzhou territory.

Zhenxian Sect, a mountain peak, before the Supreme Elder's dwelling.

Mo Cheng's face showed some panic as he arrived here once again, and he called out for the Supreme Elder.

"Your skill in maintaining composure is truly lacking. I recall in the old days, the former Sect Master was unflappable; nothing could ever change his expression."

The Supreme Elder walked out of his dwelling, and seeing Mo Cheng's complexion, couldn't help but speak up.

"Supreme Elder, the Sect Master of the Daoless Sect from the Hidden Sect of the East State really recognized the painting at a glance, and the creature named Baize!"

Mo Cheng said urgently.

"Baize? Truly recognized it? It seems that the Wayless Sect is genuine, but even so, you should not panic; you are the current Sect Master of our Zhenxian Sect."

The Supreme Elder's expression changed, but he still spoke very steadily.

"Then, it was as if the painting came to life and just ran off."

Mo Cheng spoke again.

"Came… to life? Cough cough, but even so, you should not panic!" Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire

The Supreme Elder was momentarily baffled, but still maintained his composure and spoke indifferently.

"Then the Elder representing our sect gave chase."

Mo Cheng continued.

"Can you not relay everything at once?"

The Supreme Elder was becoming impatient.

"Then, when that Elder caught up, he just disappeared. Inside Yunhun Hall, the Life Token belonging to that Elder shattered."

Mo Cheng sighed, withdrawing a broken Life Token from within his robe.

The shattering of a Life Token undoubtedly signified the fall of its owner.

With these words.

The Supreme Elder could no longer maintain his composure.

He snatched the broken Life Token from Mo Cheng's hand to take a look.

After gazing at it for a long time, the Supreme Elder suddenly looked up.

"I remember that Yunhun Hall has the function of monitoring its owner's status through the Life Token, and if the owner perishes, the Life Token breaks. However, the images from before the owner's demise are recorded, right?!"

The Supreme Elder asked hastily.

"Yes, it's precisely because I saw the images from before the Elder's demise that I am so panicked."

A bitter expression surfaced on Mo Cheng's face.

Without saying much more, he took out a Memory Stone from his storage bag and handed it over to the Supreme Elder.

The Supreme Elder received the Memory Stone and instantly activated it.

Hum…

A sound rang softly.

A screen of light condensed mid-air.

Scenes were playing on the screen.

The initial scene took place among the clouds.

The Elder seemed to be traveling in haste, with white clouds rapidly retreating all around.

Moving forward, the Elder appeared to be pursuing something.

After flying for a while.

The Elder abruptly came to a halt, eyes wide, staring ahead as if he saw something unthinkable.

The next moment, a strange creature descended.

This creature, shaped like a lion, exuded majesty; it had a beard resembling that of a goat on its face, and atop its head, there was a singular, peculiarly shaped horn.

The creature seemed to notice the Elder was looking for it; those glowing eyes gazed at the Elder for a moment.

With just that look…

The Elder seemed to experience immense terror, turned to flee, but in the next second, his body exploded, his Primordial Spirit didn't even have a chance to escape, it was extinguished into nothingness.

That was where the images ended.

The Supreme Elder, after watching, fell silent.

In a moment, it was as if he understood something.

The scroll contained a creature known by the name of Baize.

Once the name of the creature in the scroll was called out, the seal on the scroll would be undone...

And the creature known as Baize would emerge from within.

This scroll has a history of over a million years...

Does that mean that this Baize has lived for at least a million years?!

With this probe of theirs, had they released such a terrifying existence??

If this thing caused chaos in Zhongzhou, who could withstand it??

If Zhongzhou's sky fell, wouldn't it still be up to those few Hidden Sects to support it...

But could they defeat the creature known as Baize?

The Supreme Elder didn't know either.

"Supreme Elder, no matter what, we have to subdue this Baize, but can we... really subdue it? This is a being that could annihilate a Tribulation Transcending Stage with a single glance..."

Mo Cheng said with a wry smile, raising the question.

A single glance could annihilate a Tribulation Transcending Stage...

Even if that Elder was just an ordinary Tribulation Transcending Stage, it was still a terrifying thought.

Not all at the Tribulation Transcending Stage are the same.

A powerful Tribulation Transcending Stage being could indeed easily kill a weak one.

But to annihilate a weak Tribulation Transcending Stage with just a glance, is that really possible?

At least they were utterly incapable of it...

"Even if we can't, we have to try. If we really let such a terrifying existence run amok in Zhongzhou, in the end, it will still be attributed to our Zhenxian Sect."

The Supreme Elder shook his head and said.

"Why don't we ask the Sect Master of the Wayless Sect for help? We're all Hidden Sects, surely the Sect Master of the Wayless Sect would help out to some extent, right?"

Mo Cheng suggested.

"At this point, you still don't understand?"

The Supreme Elder widened his eyes and said.

"Understand what?"

Mo Cheng's face was full of confusion.

He understood nothing, didn't he?

Weren't they discussing whether to ask the Sect Master of the Wayless Sect for help? How did it relate to understanding or not?

"Ignoramus! Since Sect Master Chu of the Wayless Sect could tell that the creature in the scroll was Baize, do you think Sect Master Chu couldn't see the situation inside the scroll? Yet Sect Master Chu still uttered the name of Baize, unleashing it from its seal. What do you think Sect Master Chu's intention was?"

The Supreme Elder waved his sleeve, walked a few steps forward, and let out a cold laugh.

Upon hearing this.

Mo Cheng pondered for a moment.

It was very possible that Sect Master Chu had perceived the situation within the scroll...

Yet still chose to release Baize.

What was the reason for that? To destroy Zhongzhou? Impossible, since the East State where the Wayless Sect resided was too far from Zhongzhou, with no conflict to speak of.

Then why? Could it be...

That Sect Master Chu had also realized that this was a trial by their Zhenxian Sect?

If that were the case, it made sense.

After all, such a probe was an affront to Sect Master Chu.

Perhaps Sect Master Chu did not want to punish them personally and therefore released Baize to cause headaches in Zhongzhou.

"I understand now!"

Having grasped this, Mo Cheng's eyes lit up.

"Good that you understand. It's inevitable that we have to swallow this bitter pill. Fortunately, those major Hidden Sects probably don't know about this yet, we can drag them into the fray along with us, reducing the losses for our Zhenxian Sect."

The Supreme Elder was obviously shrewd and experienced; in just a short time, he had come up with a plan.

Zhongzhou is in trouble, after all, you don't know where the trouble stems from or who it's meant to punish.

All the major Hidden Sects working together against it, that's not unreasonable, is it?
