Chapter 483: Canglan Saint Master's Choice

“This…”

Elder Yan said in disbelief, “Li Yang Ancestor… He was a Divine-level Powerhouse who guarded the Cangxuan Realm with Meteor Ancestor over thirty thousand years ago. He barely survived. Why would he betray us?”

“I do not know the specific reason.” Canglan Saint Master shook his head and sighed.

Despair was written all over Elder Yan’s face.

Li Yang Ancestor was a hero who had defended the Cangxuan Realm over thirty thousand years ago. They had assumed he would be on their side without question.

Who would have thought that Li Yang Ancestor would actually betray them?

If this news got out, it would be a devastating blow to their allies.

Compared to Li Yang Ancestor, Qingyang City, which they had just won over, seemed insignificant.

Other than that one Divine-level Powerhouse, Qingyang City only had Su Mo and a Saint-level Sword Spirit.

Their opponent, however, was the entire Empire.

Canglan Saint Master said helplessly, “It’s already come to this. Getting angry is useless. Elder Yan, you should go rest for now. I still have other matters to attend to.”

“Sigh…”

Elder Yan sighed and walked out of the main hall.

Just as he left, a middle-aged man radiating divine might walked out from within the hall.

Canglan Saint Master said politely, “Divine Envoy Duanmu, you’ve arrived just in time. Please, help me see if Bai Di’s Dantian can be restored.”

“One moment!”

Divine Envoy Duanmu went to the unconscious Bai Di and examined him closely. “Bai Di’s Dantian was destroyed by brute force. It’s been blown to bits.”

Canglan Saint Master frowned.

‘Su Mo is truly ruthless to have destroyed Bai Di’s Dantian to this extent.’

“Is there a way to repair it?” Canglan Saint Master asked.

Divine Envoy Duanmu said arrogantly, “With this level of damage, an ordinary person would naturally find it difficult to repair. However, I can do it.”

“Oh?”

A look of pleasant surprise appeared on Canglan Saint Master’s face.

Divine Envoy Duanmu said nonchalantly, “I can use my Divine Power to help Bai Di reconstruct his Dantian and restore his Cultivation to its peak.”

“Then I’ll have to trouble you, Divine Envoy,” Canglan Saint Master said politely.

Divine Envoy Duanmu waved his hand. “It’s a trivial matter, hardly any trouble. Just a moment, Saint Master. I will help Bai Di reconstruct his Dantian now.”

“Go!”

Divine Envoy Duanmu formed a hand seal and sent a stream of Divine Power into Bai Di’s Dantian.

He was very confident. With his Pseudo-God Level strength, he could easily help Bai Di repair his Dantian without the slightest effort.

But the next second…

BANG!

A violent force suddenly erupted from Bai Di’s Dantian, directly knocking Divine Envoy Duanmu back.

STOMP, STOMP, STOMP!

Divine Envoy Duanmu stumbled back several steps before slamming his right foot on the ground, barely managing to steady himself and avoid an embarrassing fall.

But his hand was numb from the impact.

“What terrifying remnant power!” Divine Envoy Duanmu cried out in shock.

Canglan Saint Master asked in surprise, “Remnant power? What remnant power?”

Divine Envoy Duanmu said in a grim voice, “It must be the residual power that Su Mo unconsciously left behind when he shattered Bai Di’s Dantian.”

“What?”

Canglan Saint Master looked utterly incredulous.

‘Just a trace of remnant power sent Divine Envoy Duanmu flying.’

‘And it was left behind unconsciously by Su Mo, at that.’

One had to remember that Divine Envoy Duanmu was a Pseudo-God Level powerhouse. Only a true Divine-level Powerhouse could overpower him.

“Don’t tell me… that Su Mo is at the Divine Level?” Canglan Saint Master blurted out.

Divine Envoy Duanmu shook his head. “There is no Divine Power in this remnant force, so that Su Mo is not at the Divine Level. He’s not even at the Pseudo-God Level. He’s just an ordinary Martial Artist.”

Canglan Saint Master was stunned.

‘The remnant power left by an ordinary Martial Artist knocked back a Pseudo-God Level master?’

‘What kind of joke is that?’

Divine Envoy Duanmu tried to reassure him. “Don’t panic. I will try again. I refuse to believe I can’t break through the remnant power Su Mo left behind.”

BOOM!

Divine Envoy Duanmu frantically poured Divine Power into Bai Di’s Dantian.

He refused to believe that with his mighty Pseudo-God Level strength, he couldn’t dissipate the remnant power left by an ordinary Martial Artist.

If word of this got out, he’d be laughed to death.

However…

BANG!

Divine Envoy Duanmu was knocked back again, flying a full hundred meters and crashing into one of the hall’s stone pillars.

Instantly, the stone pillar was pulverized into dust.

Blood trickled from the corner of Divine Envoy Duanmu’s mouth as he said in disbelief, “Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I am a Pseudo-God Level powerhouse!”

“This…”

Canglan Saint Master was completely dumbfounded.

‘If even Divine Envoy Duanmu can’t dissipate this remnant power, who else can?’

‘Is Bai Di just going to be left crippled like this?’

Divine Envoy Duanmu calmed himself and shook his head. “I am truly sorry. I am unable to help Bai Di reconstruct his Dantian. I have disappointed you.”

“Then what should be done?” Canglan Saint Master asked.

Divine Envoy Duanmu said, “The one who caused the problem is the one who must solve it. Your only choice is to find Su Mo and have him personally dissipate this remnant power.”

“Is there no other way?” Canglan Saint Master asked, his face darkening.

For him, the great Canglan Saint Master, to swallow his pride and beg a junior… he really couldn’t bring himself to do it. It was a loss of dignity.

Divine Envoy Duanmu sighed. “The only other option is to ask that Lord to intervene.”

“That…”

Canglan Saint Master’s heart trembled.

Divine Envoy Duanmu said, “That Lord is a true Divine-level Powerhouse. I am merely a Pseudo-God he created. Only he can dissipate the remnant power in Bai Di’s body. Otherwise…”

“This…”

Canglan Saint Master said humbly, “Divine Envoy, for the sake of our past relationship, could you please help me entreat that senior? Ask him to intervene and reconstruct Bai Di’s Dantian.”

“I can plead on your behalf, but I cannot guarantee whether that Lord will be willing to act,” Divine Envoy Duanmu said coolly.

Canglan Saint Master gave a bitter smile. “Thank you, Divine Envoy. The rest will depend on Bai Di’s own fortune.”

Bai Di had reached the Mid Stage Martial Emperor Realm before the age of thirty. His talent was exceptionally monstrous.

He really couldn’t bear to see Bai Di fall like this.

Divine Envoy Duanmu nodded. “Alright, I will help you with this. But right now, the most important thing is your own choice.”

With that, Divine Envoy Duanmu took a crystal out from his robes.

Inside the crystal, Divine Power surged.

Divine Envoy Duanmu announced, “This Divine Power was given to me by that Lord to bring to you. Whether you continue as a Saint Master, or sever your own Martial Dao path to become a Pseudo-God… the choice is yours.”

“Sigh… Give me some time to think it over!” Canglan Saint Master sighed.

「At the same time.」

Somewhere in the Central Profound Domain, a middle-aged man’s black robes fluttered in the wind. A piercingly cold glint and killing intent emanated from his crimson eyes.

Before him knelt an assassin clad in black.

The black-robed man asked in a raspy voice, “Have you found out about the brat who killed the King of Reincarnation?”

“Reporting to the Left Protector, we have. The man is named Su Mo, and he is from Qingyang City,” the black-clad assassin said respectfully.

The Left Protector said coldly, “Someone from Qingyang City? Hmph. A piece of trash from that backwater dares to oppose our Yama Hall. I now command you: take the King of Equality, the King of Cities, and the King of Mount Tai to the Northern Profound Domain and slaughter that brat.”

“Hold on!”

Just as the black-clad assassin was about to accept the order, a gruff voice echoed from the shadows, carrying with it a powerful divine might.

Immediately after, a figure walked out.

Upon seeing the figure, the Left Protector’s body trembled violently, and he immediately fell to his knees.

“Greetings, Netherworld Lord,” the Left Protector said with utmost respect.
