Chapter 650: Palace Master Lu Yuan
Chapter 650: Palace Master Lu Yuan
On a remote continent in Great Desert Heaven.
An inconspicuous manor was hidden among the mountains.
Beneath the manor,
a massive cluster of palaces, resembling a labyrinth, ran through almost the entire mountain range.
Countless mysterious Cultivators were either meditating and Cultivating or shuttling back and forth within the palaces.
It felt almost like an underground city.
Right in the center of the underground labyrinth stood a tall divine statue.
The statue exuded a vast aura, with wisps of Dao charm cascading down.
Anyone who took a glance would instinctively want to bow in worship.
This was precisely the core stronghold of the Bolin Divine Sect in Great Desert Heaven.
The Bolin Temple, Great Desert Heaven Branch.
At this moment, a Cultivator in white robes sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed on the high platform beneath the statue in silence.
The white-robed Cultivator had a delicate and refined appearance, with no aura emanating from him, resembling an ordinary scholar in white.
Few people knew,
this person was precisely the highest commander of the extra-territorial Bolin Universe in Great Desert Heaven.
Palace Master of the Bolin Divine Sect's Great Desert Branch, Lu Yuan.
He was a true Eternal Emperor.
Lu Yuan had lurked in Great Desert Heaven for countless years.
But he himself never made a move.
He always arranged for his subordinate Disciples or other Extra-territorial Evil Gods to take action.
Over the long years,
Lu Yuan had stirred up many terrifying turmoils in Great Desert Heaven.
There were even forces comparable to Donghua Palace that were directly destroyed at their hands.
It could be said that
Lu Yuan was one of the most dangerous enemies in the entire Great Desert Heaven.
Great Desert Academy had once issued a bounty.
As long as someone could provide accurate information on Lu Yuan's whereabouts,
Great Desert Academy would not only take him in directly as a Disciple,
but also provide sufficient Cultivation resources to help him break through to the God King Realm.
For precious spiritual objects like the divine spirit flower, Great Desert Academy had brought out multiple types for the bounty.
It was just a pity,
no matter how tempting the bounty from Great Desert Academy was,
no one had ever been able to trace Lu Yuan's roots.
It was as if this person did not exist in this world at all.
Right at this moment,
a tall Cultivator in burlap robes strode into the grand hall.
Looking at Lu Yuan beneath the statue, he respectfully shouted:
"Subordinate Wu Wei pays respects to the Palace Master."
Lu Yuan slowly opened his eyes and then said indifferently:
"You've come."
Wu Wei hurriedly replied:
"I wonder why the Palace Master summoned me here? Do you have any instructions?"
Lu Yuan slowly stood up and looked into the distance,
then asked leisurely:
"Are you aware of the matter concerning He Rufeng?"
Wu Wei gently nodded.
He hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly:
"Your subordinate has also heard some rumors about this matter."
"They say that when He Rufeng was preparing to ambush Donghua Palace Disciple Duan Changqing,"
"he was caught off guard and actually killed in reverse by the other party."
Speaking of this,
Wu Wei even felt a bit ashamed.
He Rufeng, a dignified Supreme God King, actually died at the hands of a True God Cultivator.
It was simply an Eternal oddity.
Yet this matter circulated so widely outside,
so it probably wasn't fake.
To be honest,
up until now,
he still wasn't quite clear:
how on earth did He Rufeng die?
Could a True God Disciple of Donghua Palace like Duan Changqing really beat a Supreme God King to death?
As the head of the four pillars of Donghua Palace,
Wu Wei naturally knew Duan Changqing's great name long ago.
Furthermore, he had specifically learned about him.
But in his view,
with Duan Changqing's strength, there was no reason he could beat He Rufeng to death.
Could there be some hidden secret within this?
Wu Wei looked respectfully at Lu Yuan.
He also wanted to get some accurate answers from the Palace Master.
Lu Yuan looked into the distance and said with a somewhat helpless expression:
"Indeed, a dignified Supreme God King actually died at the hands of the True God Realm."
"This matter is indeed quite incredible."
"According to my detailed investigation during this period,"
"on the day of the incident, the other True God Disciples of Donghua Palace showed no unusual movements at all."
"God King Yuan He didn't even step half a step out of Donghua Palace."
"In other words, the person who beat He Rufeng to death really was Duan Changqing."
"Perhaps there are hidden secrets within this that we don't know about."
"However, this is no longer important."
"The key now is that idiot He Rufeng is dead."
"Our branch in Donghua Domain is in a state of utter chaos."
"If we don't reorganize it soon,"
"perhaps before long, the Divine Sect's forces might be completely driven out of Donghua Domain."
Speaking of this,
Lu Yuan paused for a moment, looked at Wu Wei below the platform, and said solemnly:
"I called you here this time intending to send you to Donghua Domain to serve as the Branch Master."
"I wonder what your thoughts are on this?"
"I strictly obey the Palace Master's instructions."
Wu Wei's expression remained unchanged as he respectfully replied:
although in his heart,
letting himself go to Donghua Domain to serve as a Branch Master was truly overqualified.
Wu Wei originally served as the Right Protector in the Bolin Temple.
Moreover, his personal strength, before entering the Chaos Sea,
was already at the Perfection of the God King Realm.
Even now, suppressed by the Origin of the Chaos Sea,
the strength he could unleash was far from comparable to ordinary God Kings.
He was certainly not a fake God King like He Rufeng.
If fighting head-on,
Wu Wei even had the confidence to cut down God King Yuan He.
Could the Palace Master sending him to Donghua Domain mean wanting to completely destroy Donghua Palace?
Thinking of this,
his heart couldn't help but tighten.
Donghua Palace was not easy to deal with.
The God King stationed in Donghua Palace year-round—God King Yuan He—was nothing much.
He was confident he could handle him.
But the problem was,
Donghua Palace didn't only have one Supreme God King like God King Yuan He.
Aside from God King Yuan He,
Duantian Divine King and the Donghua God King of Donghua Palace were the truly vicious characters difficult to deal with.
Especially the Donghua God King.
Word had it that he had long comprehended all nine powers of rules to the realm of Perfection.
Perhaps just a sliver of opportunity away from stepping into the Eternal realm.
Facing such a vicious character,
even if the Palace Master personally made a move, he might not easily take him down, right?
If they really wanted to clash head-on with Donghua Palace,
relying on their Great Desert Heaven Bolin Temple probably wasn't enough.
Unless branch temples from other realms dispatched sufficient support.
Otherwise,
this war couldn't be fought.
Just as Wu Wei was still struggling with this,
Lu Yuan slowly spoke:
"Sending you to Donghua Domain mainly serves two purposes."
"First, to reorganize the local Disciples."
"After all, our manpower coming from the Bolin Sacred World to the Chaos Sea is limited."
"If we want to accomplish something, we must massively develop Disciples."
"Only in this way can the glory of the Bolin Supreme shine across the entire Chaos Sea."
"Head-on clashes are unfeasible."
"Remember, your goal is to lurk and develop, and you must not easily make a move."
"Yes."
Hearing this,
Wu Wei couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
He initially thought the Palace Master intended to start a massacre in Donghua Domain.
If it was just lurking and developing Disciples, there was no problem with that.
They were very familiar with this kind of thing.
They had spent a long time coming from the Bolin Sacred World to the Chaos Sea.
Naturally, they had their own ways of survival.
Normally speaking,
as long as one didn't court death, it was very difficult for native forces of the Chaos Sea to discover them.
Right at this moment,
Wu Wei suddenly remembered:
the Palace Master had just said there were two things for him to do in Donghua Domain.
Developing Disciples was only one thing, so what was the other matter?
Thinking of this,
he respectfully asked:
"Palace Master, I wonder what the second matter is?"
A trace of annoyance flashed across Lu Yuan's face.
He took a deep breath and then slowly said:
"As for the second matter, it is to find a way to figure out how that idiot He Rufeng died."
"I do not believe that Duan Changqing alone could beat He Rufeng to death."
"Yes, Palace Master."
"Your subordinate will definitely investigate carefully."
Wu Wei's heart tightened, and he respectfully replied:
He knew,
this matter wasn't that simple.
It was extremely tricky.
And hard to handle.
He Rufeng had been dead for so long.
The information that could be found, the Palace Master must have already dug out.
As for even more hidden information,
unless they captured Duan Changqing, the person involved directly.
Otherwise,
there was simply no way to start.
Despite this,
Wu Wei still readily agreed.
Regarding the Palace Master's arrangements,
he could only agree.
Otherwise,
there would be no good fruit for him to eat.
Wu Wei was very clear that
the Palace Master before him,
although looking harmless to humans and animals like a scholar with no strength to truss a chicken,
once the Palace Master grew angry,
it would inevitably cause the heavens and earth to change color and rivers of blood to flow.
Fortunately, the Palace Master did not give a time limit.
So after he arrived in Donghua Domain, he could just investigate slowly.
Anyway, there was no rush.
