"Another one dead."
Within the Kui Tian Sect, everyone fell into silence.
"Lin Xiao must have transcended the Divine Realm."
"Otherwise, Yong Ran wouldn't have died at Lin Xiao's hands."
"I think it's likely that Zhang Wuwei and the people from the Dragon Lord's side made a move. Tianhe Zhenren's death has caused them dissatisfaction."
"Tianhe is dead! That's a loss for our Kui Tian Sect! What are they dissatisfied about?!"
In the Hall of Deliberation, words flew back and forth. Those present were merely ordinary disciples and outer elders. They themselves had no ability to make decisions. The sect's elders and sect leader were all in seclusion. This was a critical juncture, and they dared not disturb them unless it pertained to the sect's annihilation.
Currently, only an outer elder was presiding in the Hall of Deliberation.
"It seems we need to ease up on monitoring Lin Xiao for the time being. The Dragon Lord's people expressed dissatisfaction earlier, and I need to communicate with him." This outer elder was somewhat helpless. In the entire mortal world, the Dragon Lord was the most troublesome for him.
Even with the sects from the inner realms, he could handle them. Only the Dragon Lord, the ruler of the Dragon Kingdom, carried the nation's destiny. Without the appearance of the sect master and sect leader, he, a mere outer elder, had no standing when facing the Dragon Lord. Let alone standing, if the Dragon Lord brought trouble, he wouldn't be able to resolve it.
Within the sect, he was the only outer elder who maintained communication with the Dragon Kingdom. Others might not know the Dragon Lord's capabilities, but he was very clear. This Dragon Lord, on the surface, was just a peak Divine Realm martial artist, but... with just a glance from the Dragon Lord, he believed his own strength would be utterly annihilated.
"He's just a ruler of the mortal world. Elder, I'll help you deal with him. We need to find a way to keep monitoring Lin Xiao, otherwise, it will ruin the great plans of the Sect Leader and the elders," a disciple immediately said.
As soon as he finished speaking, this outer elder placed a hand on his eye. After he spoke, there were actually disciples who didn't take the Dragon Lord seriously?
"Hengshui, pay attention. The Dragon Lord carries the destiny of a nation, protected by the True Dragon's Qi, and is recognized by the Heavenly Dao. He doesn't enter the Self-Transcendence realm because he doesn't wish to. Do you understand?" this outer elder said urgently, "All of you, remember, this continent now belongs to the Dragon Kingdom, and it is a realm protected by the will of the Heavenly Dao. If you don't respect the Dragon Lord, you will suffer."
"No need for 'later,' you can suffer now!"
Just as he finished speaking, the Dragon Lord had already appeared in the Hall of Deliberation. He casually pulled up a chair and sat down. "Elder Fang, I haven't visited your esteemed sect in a long time. It seems your disciples no longer hold me, a mere monarch of the mortal world, in regard!"
The Dragon Lord!
Upon seeing the suddenly appearing Dragon Lord, Elder Fang's expression twitched. He quickly said, "Dragon Lord, you've traveled such a long distance. You didn't inform me beforehand, so I could have had the sect disciples welcome you."
"No need, no need. What kind of welcome is necessary? I am merely a monarch of the mortal world," the Dragon Lord chuckled, his gaze falling on Hengshui. "I'm hardly worthy of the pity of your Kui Tian Sect's high and mighty immortals."
