Chapter 472: Taking Action, Then Being Suppressed

"So Tianhao, can we still not take action against the Wanfeng Dynasty?"

Zhang Yu looked at Zhang Tianhao with an extremely grave expression. In fact, when he broke through to the Golden Core Stage, he had wanted to lead his army to the Wanfeng Dynasty to exact revenge, as the Wanfeng Dynasty had harmed many of his Tianling Dynasty's citizens.

Zhang Tianhao shook his head.

"Father, there is still a powerful expert within the Wanfeng Dynasty. I am not their match; their strength is likely above mine. So, do not go to the Wanfeng Dynasty for the time being. Let us wait until the Tianling Dynasty is stronger."

Upon hearing this, although Zhang Yu desperately wanted revenge, he could only nod in agreement.

Based on the Tianling Dynasty's current development model and the resources Zhang Tianhao left behind, he estimated that it would not be long before he could break through to the Nascent Soul Stage. Perhaps it would be better to go to the Wanfeng Dynasty for revenge then.

However, Zhang Yu soon thought of something, and his gaze toward Zhang Tianhao became a bit complex.

"So Tianhao, are you planning to leave?"

"Yes, Father. Staying within the Imperial Dynasty is detrimental to my cultivation. Returning to the Sect will speed up my cultivation."

Zhang Tianhao did not deny it. After sensing the powerful expert behind the Wanfeng Dynasty, Zhang Tianhao's heart, which had been somewhat complacent from thinking he had reached the Spirit Sea Realm, quickly calmed down.

The path of cultivation has no peak; there is always a higher mountain. His own strength was not yet sufficient, and he had to continue becoming stronger.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu sighed and did not stop him. His child was grown and should have his own life; as a father, he could only offer his blessings.

Soon, Zhang Tianhao and Cai Wankun headed out of the Tianling Dynasty together. Zhang Yu just watched the two leave, and only after a long while did he turn back to continue his cultivation.

Under his planning, the civil and military officials of the current Tianling Dynasty had all begun to Cultivate. The entire Imperial Dynasty was thriving; after all, the stronger the Imperial Dynasty, the faster his cultivation speed would be.

This was the reason he was able to break through to the Golden Core Stage so quickly. If he wanted to Cultivate to the point of Ascension, he would likely have to bring the entire Grand Wilderness World under the territory of the Tianling Dynasty.

On the other side, after Zhang Tianhao and Cai Wankun left the Tianling Dynasty, they soon sensed something and stopped with grave expressions.

A figure shrouded in black mist appeared before them. Sensing this aura, Zhang Tianhao protected Cai Wankun behind him and spoke to the figure with a grave expression.

"Your Excellency, you must be the person behind the Wanfeng Dynasty."

Hearing Zhang Tianhao's words, the Demonic Cultivator opposite them was somewhat surprised. Clearly, he had not expected Zhang Tianhao to know his identity upon their first meeting. However, after thinking about it carefully, it did not seem very strange, as he probably also knew the current situation of the Grand Wilderness World.

A Cultivator stronger than him had suddenly appeared, so guessing his identity did not seem like such a strange thing.

"Little friend, may I ask who your Master is?"

The Demonic Cultivator spoke slowly in a flat tone, not taking Zhang Tianhao and Cai Wankun before him seriously. After all, if they had no Master, Zhang Tianhao and Cai Wankun would not even have the qualifications to meet him.

Hearing the Demonic Cultivator's words, Zhang Tianhao and Cai Wankun exchanged glances, clearly having guessed the Demonic Cultivator's purpose.

Cai Wankun sneered and stepped forward to say.

"Our Master is not someone you can inquire about."

Hearing this, the Demonic Cultivator's expression became extremely ugly. He was somewhat angry and wanted to immediately take action to suppress and kill Zhang Tianhao and Cai Wankun, but after some thought, he decided to play it safe, as he did not know whether what Zhang Tianhao and Cai Wankun said was true or false.

Moreover, he had always had only one goal: to achieve Ascension within five years, before the great calamity arrived.

Thinking of this, the Demonic Cultivator took a deep breath to calm himself down before speaking.

"Little friend, I have no intention of offending you; I merely wish to communicate with your Master. You probably do not know this, but in five years, a great calamity will descend upon the Grand Wilderness World. At that time, no one will survive, not even an Undergoing Tribulation expert will be able to live."

"Therefore, I intend to join forces with your Master to find a way to leave the Grand Wilderness World, so as to survive before the great calamity arrives."

Hearing the Demonic Cultivator's words, Zhang Tianhao and Cai Wankun could not help but feel a bit surprised; clearly, they had not expected to learn of such a thing.

But even knowing this, Zhang Tianhao and the other were actually indifferent. After all, in their hearts, their Master was an invincible existence. A mere great calamity—if it descended, they could just block it.

Not to mention Cai Wankun, Lin Qianyan would likely be able to become a Saint within five years. Perhaps even more than a Saint, as the talent of the Netherworld Dao Body was terrifyingly high; perhaps Lin Qianyan wouldn't even need five years to achieve Ascension.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tianhao shook his head very decisively and said in a flat tone.

"If it is that kind of matter, then you should leave. We do not want to take action against you, at least not now."

The Demonic Cultivator's face, hidden beneath the black mist, was full of astonishment; clearly, he had not expected Zhang Tianhao and Cai Wankun to refuse.

Thinking of this, the Demonic Cultivator's expression became ugly, and after some inner struggle, he still attacked.

"Since that is the case, let me see what kind of strength you possess."

The Demonic Cultivator's attack was clearly not within Zhang Tianhao and Cai Wankun's expectations. In fact, when the Demonic Cultivator attacked, the two of them did not react at all and could only stand there, unable to move.

Meanwhile, within the Heavenly Emperor Sect, Qin Shaolong had already fought his way to the seventieth-plus level. It was not that Qin Shaolong's strength could not reach the ninety-ninth level, but rather that he had obtained quite a bit of Origin energy from the Puppets he had slain.

Thus, Qin Shaolong needed some time to refine this Origin energy.

Just as Qin Shaolong was immersed in refining the Origin energy, he sensed something, and his expression could not help but change.

"Daring to take action against them both, you are courting death!"

As Qin Shaolong's words fell, the next second, he vanished from where he stood.

When he appeared again, he had already arrived before Zhang Tianhao and Cai Wankun. With just a single thought, he suppressed the Demonic Cultivator, who plummeted rapidly from the sky and crashed into the ground, unable to move.

This was only because Qin Shaolong had used a trillionth of a trillionth of his power, otherwise he would have instantly crushed the Demonic Cultivator. After all, even if he were to die, it had to be by Zhang Tianhao and Cai Wankun's own hands.
