Chapter 244: The Imminent Battle for the Holy Son
Chapter 244: The Imminent Battle for the Holy Son
"I will consider helping you."
"Take care of yourself and get ready to leave."
"It wouldn't be good if I stayed here too long and someone with ulterior motives noticed."
Upon learning of the Blood Soul Holy Land's plans, Lin Hanzhou issued an order to expel them.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Su Muqing felt as if she had been granted a pardon and dared not disobey in the slightest. She quickly got up from the cold ground.
She began to tidy herself up, her appearance already soaked in cold sweat and looking somewhat disheveled.
In just a few breaths, she returned to her ethereal, otherworldly appearance.
The huge weight that had been hanging over her heart finally lifted.
This trip was incredibly beneficial for her.
Although the process was extremely dangerous, and we almost suffered irreparable harm.
But the final result was unexpectedly good.
This not only avoided the huge risk of his undercover identity being exposed.
He also met a powerful figure from the Blood Soul Holy Land, who was hidden within the holy land and held an extremely high position.
And this big shot actually had to personally help him complete that difficult assassination mission.
Under these circumstances, she felt that the assassination operation was now a sure thing.
Thinking about all this, Su Muqing bowed to Lin Hanzhou again, giving a graceful bow.
Then, she turned around, pushed open the door, and left the palace.
……
Watching the other person's back disappear into the doorway in an instant.
Lin Hanzhou's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smug smile.
He knew he had successfully fooled them.
At the same time, he began to ponder another, more crucial question.
How exactly is the faction determined by this "Backstab" talent?
Now, in Su Muqing's eyes, she has become a cultivator in the Blood Soul Holy Land camp.
Based on the judgment of the [Backstab] talent, am I considered a cultivator of the Blood Soul Holy Land faction?
Can he be considered a member of multiple factions at the same time?
He needs to verify this properly later.
……
the other side.
Although Su Muqing was extremely careful when she went to Chen Shan's palace.
Not only did they conceal all their aura, but they also disguised themselves thoroughly.
But she ultimately underestimated the deep-rooted spies among the other three quasi-holy sons in this holy land.
She had just stepped into Chen Shan's palace.
Soon after, the news reached the ears of the other three prospective saints.
……
Inside a more luxuriously decorated palace for the prospective saint.
A young man dressed in luxurious brocade robes, with a handsome face but a hint of gloom between his brows, listened to the news brought by his scouts.
"Bang--!"
He slammed his hand on the table, shattering the table, made of thousand-year-old nanmu wood, along with the priceless jade tea set on it, into dust.
"What did you say?"
"That bitch Su Muqing, she actually went to Chen Shan's palace?"
"And she stayed inside for the full time it takes for an incense stick to burn?"
The furious young man was none other than Jiang Chen, the third-ranked among the five quasi-saints!
"Yes...yes, sir."
The spy was so frightened that he trembled all over and immediately knelt down.
"I witnessed it with my own eyes, and I guarantee with my life that I would never dare to utter a single falsehood!"
"You bitch!"
"What a despicable person!!"
Jiang Chen was so angry that his face turned ashen, and he paced frantically back and forth in the palace.
In his heart, Su Muqing, his junior sister who had no background but possessed a stunningly beautiful face, was already considered his possession.
He is the son of the head of the Imperial Household Department, and controls nearly half of the cultivation resources in the entire Holy Land.
In the path of cultivation, what is most important?
Talent? Persistence and hard work?
No! It's resources!
He didn't believe any woman could resist his endless onslaught of resources.
But he never expected that this woman, who acted like an iceberg in front of him, would be like this.
She actually took the initiative to find Chen Shan, and even went to a room alone with him, entering his most private palace.
This was an utter disgrace to him.
"snort!"
"Su Muqing, Su Muqing! You've made an incredibly foolish decision!"
Jiang Chen's face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of resentment.
"What do you think that good-for-nothing Chen Shan can give you?"
"You think that by getting close to him, you can achieve something in this battle for the Holy Son?"
"Innocent!"
"In the path of cultivation, the most important thing is always resources!"
"Without my resources, you two good-for-nothings working together are nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs!"
"Just you wait, you will personally kneel before me and humbly beg for my forgiveness!"
……
It's not just Jiang Chen.
The other two prospective holy sons also learned of this information through their own channels.
……
Inside Zhao Wen's palace, the second potential Holy Son.
The decor here is austere and solemn, filled with a cold atmosphere of iron and blood.
He listened to his subordinate's report, gave a curt "Oh," and waved his hand, signaling the other person to leave.
"Su Muqing? Chen Shan?"
A disdainful sneer appeared on Zhao Wen's handsome, chiseled face.
"It's just two ants huddling together for warmth."
In his view, only the high and mighty Chief Li Daoyi was worthy of competing with him for the position of Holy Son!
The remaining three, no matter how they tried to unite, could not achieve anything.
……
Inside the palace of Li Daoyi, the most mysterious chief quasi-holy son.
The place was incredibly peaceful.
Not even one subordinate came to report.
He remained seated cross-legged in the vast, empty center of the palace, closing his eyes to rest.
It was as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with him.
He was comprehending the most profound Heaven-rank sword technique of the Taiyan Sacred Land—the Taiyan Sword Manual.
For him, let alone Su Muqing and Chen Shan joining forces.
Even if the remaining four quasi-holy sons joined forces, he would not be moved in the slightest.
This is the absolute confidence that belongs to the chief quasi-saint!
……
Time flies, and seven days have passed in the blink of an eye.
During these seemingly peaceful seven days, undercurrents were surging throughout the entire Taiyan Holy Land.
Countless people, from inner disciples to outer disciples and even core disciples, were discussing this matter.
They knew that the "Battle of the Holy Sons," which would determine the future of the Holy Land for thousands of years to come, was about to begin!
