Chapter 2717: Yuan Hong's Speculation

“Young master, it’s absolutely true. He relied on Qi Force alone to seriously injure me. Your subordinate is not weak, but before him I was completely powerless.” The Grand Commander answered respectfully.

“To think that the Holy Realm still harbors such a powerhouse, that truly is unexpected.” A young man appeared out of thin air in the great hall.

This person was none other than Wang Tianzhong, young master of the Sky Void Holy Temple.

Wang Tianzhong wore luxurious white brocade, handsome of face, long white hair draped over his shoulders, quite refined in bearing. Between his sword–brows there exuded a kingly aura, giving one a sense of something demonic.

An extremely terrifying aura spread out from Wang Tianzhong.

This person’s strength was unbelievably powerful.

“Young master, Feng Wuchen was able to seriously injure the Grand Commander with ease, and even has the Great Protector detained in the Rakshasa Holy Temple. His strength must not be underestimated.” An elder said gravely.

Wang Tianzhong said arrogantly, “Whatever Feng Wuchen can do, I can do as well. I do not believe such a figure exists in the Holy Realm. Even if the power in his body belongs to some defeated one, in a Soul Body state, how strong can that power really be? And how much of that power can Feng Wuchen withstand?”

“Tianzhong, do not underestimate Feng Wuchen.” Hall Master Ghost Soul slightly shook his head and said solemnly, “Though this hall master is raging with fury and would like nothing more than to tear Feng Wuchen into eight pieces, anyone whom a great power values cannot possibly be simple.”

Wang Tianzhong’s brows knit slightly, his voice icy: “Feng Wuchen killed our people, seriously injured the Grand Commander, seriously injured the Great Protector, and now even has him kneeling in the Rakshasa Holy Temple. Are we really going to ignore all of this? When has the Sky Void Holy Temple ever been this spineless?”

Ghost Soul said darkly, “Wait for Yuan Hong’s report.”

“Yuan Hong?” Wang Tianzhong frowned inwardly. “Yuan Hong’s strength surpasses mine; dealing with Feng Wuchen should be more than enough.”

Yuan Hong was a Venerated one of the Sky Void Holy Temple, at the peak of Seven-Star True Immortal cultivation, his strength second only to Ghost Soul.

“News sent back from those killed in the Rakshasa Holy Temple indicates that Mu Qingfeng seems to have a rather good relationship with Feng Wuchen. I fear the Heavenly Emperor Mansion has already formed an alliance with Feng Wuchen.” An elder said gravely.

Ghost Soul’s eyes narrowed, a flash of vicious killing intent passing through them as he said coldly, “The Heavenly Emperor Mansion is openly making itself our enemy. That old thing Mu Tianqi simply doesn’t know life from death.”

“Whoosh!”

Within the great hall, a figure suddenly flashed into appearance; it was precisely Yuan Hong.

“Where is the Great Protector?” Seeing Yuan Hong return alone, Ghost Soul frowned and asked.

Yuan Hong slightly shook his head and said, “The power trapping the Great Protector is extremely terrifying. I was powerless to break it, but his life is not in danger. There are also two others whose Soul Bodies have been trapped by Feng Wuchen.”

“What? Even you couldn’t break it? Is Feng Wuchen’s power truly that strong?” Wang Tianzhong’s face changed drastically; his former arrogance and confidence instantly turned into shock and disbelief.

“Yuan Hong, did you truly exert your full strength?” the Great Elder asked with a frown.

Yuan Hong nodded and said, “Even after I summoned my Holy Artifact, I still couldn’t shake it in the slightest.”

Ghost Soul’s aged face was also filled with shock as he exclaimed, “How is this possible? Could it be that Feng Wuchen’s power is on par with this hall master’s? Or perhaps even above me?”

“Hall Master, I’m afraid we’ve stirred up a great disaster this time.” Yuan Hong said gravely, “Feng Wuchen’s power has exceeded our imagination. It is no wonder a great power takes him seriously. For him to dare force the Great Protector to kneel in the Rakshasa Holy Temple, he must have absolute confidence in his own strength. By taking the initiative to offend Feng Wuchen this time, we’ve already enraged him.”

Yuan Hong’s words were not without reason, causing Ghost Soul and the senior executives to fall into deep thought, their aged faces incomparably grave.

“That is not his own power. Even if the master of the power in his body is a defeated one, in the stance of a Soul Body, it is absolutely impossible to unleash peak strength. If we join forces, we need not fear being unable to deal with him.” Wang Tianzhong said coldly, unable to bear the sight of another possessing such overwhelming power.

“And if we still can’t deal with him?” Yuan Hong looked at Wang Tianzhong and asked, “Young master, if even together we are unable to handle Feng Wuchen, do you know what that would mean? If we pull back now, it may still not be too late.”

“Yuan Hong! You’re boosting another’s morale while destroying your own prestige! Feng Wuchen is clearly humiliating our Sky Void Holy Temple. This humiliation, I cannot swallow.” Wang Tianzhong shouted coldly.

Yuan Hong shook his head and said, “Young master, you are wrong. I am thinking of the life and death of the Sky Void Holy Temple. Whether the owner of Feng Wuchen’s power is a defeated one is nothing more than our conjecture. What if he isn’t?”

“Once we drive Feng Wuchen to a life-and-death enmity, we will all die. I do not believe a great power will take action to save us. A great power could abandon the Demon Clan and the Martial Soul Holy Palace; he can just as easily abandon us. In the eyes of a great power, we are nothing but ants.”

“It is impossible for the Holy Realm to harbor someone stronger than a defeated one!” Wang Tianzhong said with absolute certainty.

Yuan Hong frowned deeply and said, “When I was about to leave just now, I intended to capture someone from the Rakshasa Holy Temple to bring back. But the moment I was about to strike, a mysterious power blocked me. There was no aura at all, I couldn’t sense anything—yet that mysterious power was clearly there. The feeling this mysterious power gave me was even more terrifying than a great power.”

This mysterious power came precisely from the envoy who controls the order of Heaven and Earth.

“A mysterious power?” Ghost Soul frowned deeply.

“It seems Feng Wuchen is not as simple as we imagined. Or perhaps there is another terrifying powerhouse hidden within the Rakshasa Holy Temple.” The Great Elder said gravely.

“Hall Master, I’m afraid this time we’ll have to give up on going to the Immortal Realm space, and moreover must find a way to endure Feng Wuchen’s wrath.” Yuan Hong sighed and shook his head, already feeling despair in his heart.

“Absolutely impossible!” Wang Tianzhong roared savagely, “We have waited over a hundred thousand years for this opportunity. Only by entering the Immortal Realm space can our cultivation be raised. If we miss this chance, we can only wait for death!”

“We already have no way out.” The Great Elder shook his head slightly.

Ghost Soul’s aged face was incomparably grave as he said in a deep voice, “The Great Elder is right. We have no retreat. We must annihilate the Dragon God Clan and Feng Wuchen; we must enter the Immortal Realm space, otherwise our Sky Void Holy Temple will vanish forever.”

“If we must make a move, I do have a method, but it involves taking a risk.” Yuan Hong said with a frown.

“What method?” Ghost Soul asked.

“We start with the Heavenly Emperor Mansion. Secretly send people to monitor the Heavenly Emperor Mansion, best of all Mu Qingfeng. That person’s strength is not simple. Since Hall Master and the Great Elder both say there is no retreat, then leave this matter to me.” Yuan Hong said.

…

After Feng Wuchen left the Holy Tower, he went to the Sheng Dan Pavilion and took away a huge amount of heaven-and-earth treasures as well as Void Heaven Soul Stones.

Returning to the Dragon God Holy Temple, Feng Wuchen immediately set up a space within a vast cavern of the Dragon God Holy Temple, then had Emperor Yuanshi restore the Spiritual Energy.

Feeling Spiritual Energy a hundred times denser than the outside world, Long Shi Hun and the other two were incomparably shaken, all of them stunned.

“Three Ancestors, the Spiritual Energy of this space is the original Spiritual Energy of the Holy Realm, and even more powerful. You need only cultivate here and your cultivation will be able to increase.” Feng Wuchen said with a faint smile.

“Th-this… this can’t be real, can it?” Long Shitian was completely dumbfounded, feeling as if he were dreaming.
