117 Chapter 117: Competition (1/2)
”Master Null, you are not serious right?” Sheldon trembled as he asked.
”Not at all. Unless you want your ancestors to do the work for you.” Dylan teasingly said.
” Some of them are guarding the sect and are most likely at your sect's sacred grounds. Am I right?” Dylan sounded like he knew about it and pointed downwards. But, in truth, he was probing Sheldon and Azelmek.
From his knowledge of reading novels, each prestigious power would have at least one old undying guarding the sect from sect destroying disasters. These ancestors ussually stay at the sacred ground of the sect which are preferrably an independent space.
”You know about our ancestors and the sacred grounds?!” Sheldon was absolutely shocked when he heard of this. The ancestors of the hall are beings which have lived for more than two thousand years and are at the late stages of the Immortal Saint Realm, and there are very few who know of their existences within the sacred hall. Some have decided to wander the world and get stronger while some decided to stay within the grounds of the Premier Hall and defend it in times of crisis.
”?!” Azelmek was also fairly shocked. The thing that shocked him the most was when Dylan pointed one finger downwards. but after a subtle deep breath, he was able to calm himself down. 'That can't be. He must be bluffing. The sacred ground has a special forcefield that prevemts Spiritual Awareness from entering!'
”Calm down. I won't do anything that would harm your sect despite kmowing where they are. It was just a mere joke.” Dylan bluffed and glanced at Azelmek with a meaningful look.
'Has he really discovered about the sacred grounds under our Hall?! How much does he know?' Azelmek felt the cold perspiration in his back as he seemingly understood the meaning of that stare.
He instantly decided to shrug it off with a somewhat awkward laugh, ”Hahaha, that's right. It was just a mere joke.”
”That made me slightly nervous for second.” Sheldon sighed in relief but he saw the glance that Dylan made and he somewhat had the gist of what was happening.
”Anyways, where were we?” Azelmek tried to change the subject. He may have sounded a bit desperate but he needed to or else he might have fallen victim to Dylan's mind game.
Dylan immediately took note of this as he smiled inwardly and thought, 'So, the entrance is within here, huh? How unfortunate. I was hoping to get more info though.'
Knowing Azelmek's desperate actions, Dylan simply followed, ”We were talking about the plan involving you sneaking into the snake's lair.”
”Oh, that's right. About that, we can make it work if we...” Sheldon took the initiative and started the next agenda of this meeting.
After two hours of discussion, the three eventually finished and Dylan bid farewell to the duo who respectfully guided him out.
”May the heavens bless you in your travels, Master.” Azelmek said his farewell as he saw Dylan become submerge to the dense crowd ahead.
...
Inside the Azelmek's office, Azelmek and Sheldon sat there silently.
”Hallmaster, it seems that Master Null is even stronger than we originally thought!” Sheldon seriously said.
”Indeed, he was able to identify where the sacred ground is and even found out about the ancestors below us.” Azelmek agreed with similar seriousness in this matter.
”The most important thing is that our ancestors did not even sense any Holy Sense! That means he is at least one sub realm stronger than our ancestors!” Sheldon shuddered in this thought! The strongest of their ancestors has already reached the 3rd Sub-Realm of the Immortal Saint Realm! Being stronger than that means that they have reached the peak of the Immortal Saint Realm!
”Has he truly reached the Immortal Law Realm or is he even stronger than that?! But beyond Immortal Saint?! That realm is a myth!” Azelmek's hands were trembling as he tried to sip the tea in his hands.
...
Meanwhile, at the Soaring Garden Herbal Store, Dylan just arrived and discovered that their customer count is lower than what he anticipated it to be.There were only 150-160 customers who came to his stores in three hours! If this keeps up, there would only be around 600 people that would come to his store.
At this rate, his speed of cultivation will be adveresely affected due to the lack of Millenial Stone.
