In Xianxia With The Investment Return System, Starting My Journey by taking Demon Empress as a Disciple

“My own strength is meager, and I cannot determine the exact level of power. However, I believe it must have been the work of a strong cultivator at the Second or Third Heaven of the Annihilation Realm,” Wu Feiyang answered with apparent seriousness.

“Seems like it might have been the handiwork of an Annihilation Realm expert, huh? It appears I must return and report this matter to the Patriarch for further judgment,” the Second Elder stated, his gaze fixed on Wu Feiyang’s eyes.

He believed the Emperor’s words and decided to abandon the plan to deal with Leng Yanran.

If the Annihilation Realm expert was still in the vicinity of the capital, even if the Second Elder managed to annihilate Leng Yanran’s family, he himself would probably meet his end at the hands of that expert!

With that, the Second Elder rose to leave. However, Wu Feiyang’s eyes sparkled, and he stood up to intercept him.

“Hmm? What do you mean, Your Majesty?”

“Please don’t misunderstand, Elder. I have another piece of news to share with you,” Wu Feiyang said.

“Oh? Do tell.”

“Today, Leng Yanran’s family spread a message that Luo Heaven Sect should prepare to face annihilation in half a month. The news has already spread throughout the city. I wonder if the Elder needs me to order the sealing of this information to protect Luo Heaven Sect’s reputation and prestige?”

Wu Feiyang said with a respectful demeanor, as though he was genuinely concerned for Luo Heaven Sect.

“Heh, bold words to annihilate Luo Heaven Sect in half a month! There’s no need to seal the information. When the time comes, if he dares to show his face, Luo Heaven Sect will naturally show the world the cost of opposing us! Hmph!”

The Second Elder replied coldly, dismissing any further conversation and leaving with a sweep of his sleeves.

“Farewell, Second Elder,” Wu Feiyang bid him farewell with a slight bow, displaying an air of utmost respect.

Only after confirming that the Second Elder had completely left the palace grounds did Emperor Wu Feiyang put away his respectful demeanor and returned to his usual indifferent expression.

“Hehe, this is going to be interesting. I wonder if that person will personally take action. I really want to witness the terrifying divine ability of such an existence!”

A hint of amusement flashed in Wu Feiyang’s eyes.

When he answered the Second Elder’s questions earlier, he had spoken the truth about every matter except for one – the true strength of the person who made that move!

Annihilation Realm of the Second or Third Heaven?

That strike was a level of horror he had never seen before. In truth, it far exceeded the capabilities of the Annihilation Realm!

But if he told the truth and the Second Elder believed him, Luo Heaven Sect would back down, and that mysterious individual might abandon his plan to annihilate Luo Heaven Sect. In that case, Wu Feiyang would suffer a massive loss.

“This Northern Region is going to change…”

Wu Feiyang felt a little uneasy at the thought of a mysterious and powerful figure appearing in the Northern Region, one who was even above the Annihilation Realm.

After the Second Elder left the palace, he didn’t dare linger for even a moment and went straight toward the direction of Luo Heaven Sect. After all, there might be a hidden, mysterious Annihilation Realm expert near the capital, and based on the current information, that was most likely an enemy!

For the Second Elder of Luo Heaven Sect, this was extremely dangerous.

Therefore, he didn’t even dare to go to Leng Yanran’s house to take a look at the mark left behind by the Sky Monument on the ground. Otherwise, he and Luo Heaven Sect might have changed their minds.
