Bloodshed God-Emperor looked towards his disciple below with shock. Even if Xue Ying had something important to report, he could always wait until the banquet ended. What was the matter that made him so urgent that he had to do so in the middle of the banquet? But still, the Bloodshed God-Emperor was clear that this disciple of his understood propriety. Thus, he replied and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Teacher, is it possible for any nearby Ruler to eavesdrop on us?” Xue Ying transmitted again. He might be careful, but his knowledge of the Rulers was lacking. This matter was too important and could not be leaked.

“Eavesdrop?” Bloodshed God-Emperor became serious this time. An invisible ripple emanated from his body and enveloped Xue Ying: “Alright, it is fine now. There will be absolutely no one who will eavesdrop on us. Xue Ying, what is the matter that compels you to be so careful and solemn?”

“Disciple has gotten something miraculous that could inspect the strength of the soul.” Xue Ying transmitted.

“You could inspect the strength of the soul?” Bloodshed God-Emperor was startled.

With his horizons, he experienced much more than Xue Ying and knew even more things. He was clear that the ‘strength of soul’ could reflect the combat level of a cultivator!

“What level could you inspect until?” Bloodshed God-Emperor continued asking.

“All ten Rulers have attended this banquet. Thus, I was curious and had stealthily inspected all ten of you. I do hope for Teacher to forgive me on this.” Xue Ying transmitted.

“You’ve inspected the ten of us?” Bloodshed God-Emperor felt his heart skipping a bit: “How is it? What did you learn?”

“The inspection has flabbergasted this disciple! This disciple did not dare believe it even until now. The strongest is still Teacher naturally, but the second-ranked is Purgatory Ruler! And the third is senior brother Monarch Green. Primal Master is only the fourth. As for the fifth, it is someone whom nobody could ever expect–Bloody Ruler! The sixth is Abyss Primogenitor! Of the three Rulers from the Dark Abyss, Purgatory Ruler and Bloody Ruler are both beyond the level of Abyss Primogenitor! As for the ranks after, they are Pang Yi, Myriad God Palace Master, Temporal Island Lord and Empress Qian He respectively.” Xue Ying transmitted.

“Oh?”

Bloodshed God-Emperor became pensive.

This intelligence given by his disciple had indeed stirred the emotions of Bloodshed God-Emperor. Even though he had some feeling of this, he had never expected Xue Ying could rank the Rulers so clearly according to their soul power! This ranking led Bloodshed God-Emperor to deduce many things.

‘They have hidden well.’ Bloodshed God-Emperor’s eyes squinted. Many thoughts began surfacing in his heart.

And below, after Xue Ying delivered this critical report, he observed his teacher, only to see that he turned pensive and had a slight shift in his expression.

‘I’ve done what I could. The tallest beings prop the sky. My teacher is the tallest one, so everything will depend on him from now.’ Xue Ying thought to himself. The Black Gourd treasure spirit had mentioned that ‘Bloodshed God-Emperor’ was the most terrifying Ruler he had ever seen. Over the years, his teacher was also unquestionably the strongest on the Cosmos Deity-Demon List. None could wrestle that position from him.

If anyone could protect the entire Cultivator Cosmos, it would be his teacher.

“Xue Ying, what do you understand about the Rulers?” Bloodshed God-Emperor asked in transmission.

“I do not know of anything else.” Xue Ying hurriedly replied. If not for the Black Gourd treasure spirit, he could not even sense the degree of soul strength since the Rulers had a status beyond his.

“You’ve done everything you could. Remember, you can inform this to Primal Master and Abyss Primogenitor. As for the other Rulers, you must keep it a secret. You must never leak this to any other cultivators too.” Bloodshed God-Emperor reminded him.

“This disciple understands.” Xue Ying obediently acknowledged.

…

The reason why he informed his teacher during the banquet was that Xue Ying felt his ‘senior disciple brother Monarch Green’ had a huge temperament change. He became so strong as well; he even invited all powerful existences to his banquet. Thus, he became worried that he might become a traitor! Naturally, he had to tell his teacher.

After telling him the truth, he began imagining.

This banquet proceeded smoothly. The banquet lasted for a total of three days. During this period, the Rulers had given public lectures on the Dao each, causing all cultivators present to listening seriously. When the banquet ended, the Rulers left. Xue Ying bid his good friends farewell before taking his wife and children home.

And Bloodshed God-Emperor had secretly beckoned for Primal Master and Abyss Primogenitor to a secret discussion.
