Chapter 612 - 279: Despair Spreads at This Moment

"I’ve been thinking, have you all never asked?"

Lu Wenwu shrugged his shoulders, speaking confidently.

"Am I the kind of person who enjoys showing off? Do I have to mention that I’m the future Dragon Emperor, the Crown Prince of the Dragon Race, right upon meeting? That would be too ridiculous."

Immortal Dao Alliance members: "..."

I’ve been thinking, hasn’t the Dragon Race always been like this for all these years?

Do you have no understanding whatsoever of your ancestors’ behavior?

However, they definitely wouldn’t dare to voice such sarcastic remarks.

Even muttering quietly is not an option; they can only think about it to themselves.

Saint Venerable Heng Ru weakly said, "Then why didn’t you offer a brief explanation at the time? If you had done so at Celestial Star City..."

"Does it matter?"

Lu Wenwu dug into his ear, his eyes playful.

"Too lazy to explain, and explanations are meaningless. Unless I beat you guys to the point where you would sincerely sit down and listen to me speak, we all know that in this realm, strength is the hard truth, isn’t it?"

What could Saint Venerable Heng Ru say?

He could only accompany his words with an embarrassed laugh.

Having served as the Alliance Leader of the Immortal Dao Alliance for so many years, he certainly understands the disposition of the people under him better than Lu Wenwu does.

But ultimately, he is just a leader, not the sect leader of these people, and lacks the authority to dictate the actions of others in the Divinity Transformation stage.

He’s managed to get by all these years.

But to be directly called out in the presence of the Demon Race and Demonic Dao made him feel a bit embarrassed as one of the few with any sense of shame on the Righteous Dao side.

Seeing the Immortal Dao Alliance member’s defeat, those from the Demon Race and Demonic Dao laughed heartily from the sidelines.

Not missing any chance to hit someone when they’re down.

Most members of the Immortal Dao Alliance hung their heads in shame, except for Void Buddha Venerable who nodded in strong agreement on the side.

He took a half-step forward graciously, performed a Buddha salute, and said in a deep voice, "His Majesty the Dragon Emperor, I have personally investigated the matter of Celestial Star Child. Everything resulted from his own actions, and I deeply appreciate the Dragon Emperor for clearing away the filth for our Immortal Dao Alliance. Representing myself and the disciples of the Buddhist Sect, I apologize to you for the previous conflict."

Lu Wenwu nodded slightly, "That’s alright, at least there’s someone who can speak like a human, I feel quite comforted."

This made everyone else feel an intense burning shame.

Especially Infinite Sword Venerable, who wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

Now all there is, is regret.

Profound regret.

He should have reminded Flashing Light Sword Venerable before he left, to investigate thoroughly before taking action.

Too late now.

People have already been offended, and it’s too late to make amends.

Infinite Sword Venerable exuded a strong sense of dismay, like a convict about to be sentenced to death.

The old Master from Celestial Secret Tower had come too.

His gaze towards the Treasure Couch was extremely complex.

Lu Wenwu didn’t care about such trivial matters.

He stood up from Mao Mao, sitting on the grand Treasure Couch with a serious expression, his smile subsided, his gaze sweeping over everyone present like a torch, scanning the three distinct factions below.

"I called you all here for a matter I need to discuss."

The main show was finally here!

Everyone’s expression suddenly became solemn, the previous laughter and quarrels disappeared entirely.

No matter which side they were on, they were curious about what important matter the current Dragon Emperor had gathered everyone to announce.

"The world is going to be destroyed." Lu Wenwu said faintly.

His voice was light, but it was like a nuclear bomb exploding in the water instantly.

The world is going to be destroyed?

Like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, the entire hall was in an uproar.

Whether human or demon, they all wore expressions of intense disbelief.

The Old Flood Dragon who had just completed the transformation into a dragon, full of vigor and vitality, was written full of shock on his face, even his once-turned-black dense big beard was trembling.

"Your Majesty, this..."

"Do you remember Cyan Profound Sword Sect?"

Lu Wenwu abruptly brought this up without any context, his gaze implying something.

Those who had heard of this name and the Demon Beasts were nodding blankly, unaware of how Cyan Profound Sword Sect was related.

Only Celestial Secret Tower Master got his hint, quickly recalling, and immediately spoke, "I remember you once purchased information concerning Cyan Profound Sword Sect from our Celestial Secret Tower? Is this world-ending disaster related to them?"

"Yes, your memory isn’t bad."

Lu Wenwu chuckled, waved his hand, and took out a large number of damaged Flying Swords from his personal backpack, arranging them in front of him.

These Flying Swords numbered in the thousands, lined up, nearly filling the space in front of Lu Wenwu, each carrying that faint trace of Secondary Power of Corruption.

Greyish weak currents hovered over these former Magical Treasures, emitting strange chilling waves.

"These are... Cyan Profound Wind and Thunder Sword from Cyan Profound Sword Sect? So many?"

Celestial Secret Tower Master once again spoke up.

As the largest pawnshop and antique dealer in the Cultivation Realm, he had ample knowledge in this area, extremely well-versed in such matters.

The Cyan Profound Wind and Thunder Sword was known for combining wind and thunder attributes, made uniquely with the sect’s Cultivation Techniques, unreplicable and unbreakable by other sects.

If not for the distinct crafting method and the internal presence of Celestial Thunder Power, focused on slaughter and demon eradication, Cyan Profound Sword Venerable might not have been able to seal the True Demon for thousands of years.

Lu Wenwu continued, "I just returned from the Little World they headed to, regrettably, it was destroyed during my departure. The culprit was none other than the presence’s owner of the aura left on these damaged Flying Swords."
