484 Leaving (1/2)
”Oh, my god, it is never ending!” Zhou Bao complained. This was because after comforting Yan Yunfei in the Inner Yard, he had returned to the hall. Before he could even sit down, along came Golden Rooster. And at the sight of him, Zhou Bao knew that it would not be good news.
”Why, has someone been here before me?”
”You're the third, Jiang Xiao, Yunfei, and now you! Hey, what's the matter with White Tiger? Suddenly destroying Mingyi School and causing a great deal of chaos. Is he trying to be funny?”
”An agreement has been reached among the Immortal Palace, Bigwheel Temple, Jade Pool, Thunder Palace and the Dark Sect. We are planning to drive Divine Wind Palace out of the Central Mainland Region,” Golden Rooster said flatly, ”There's going to be a war!”
”What? So soon?” Zhou Bao was not surprised when he heard about the agreement. If the four big sects did not do anything yet, they would be labeled as cowards for life. ”Do you want me to reveal my identity?”
”No!” Golden Rooster shook his head, ”It's not time yet. Although the war is about to break out anytime now, it will only involve Metaphysic Individual Immortals at the most. People at the Level of True Immortality will not be involved. And your combat capability and identity are very sensitive issues. Once you are revealed to be one of the 28 constellations of Immortal Palace, I'm afraid that Divine Wind Palace will go all out to kill you at any cost, so, you'd better keep your present ambiguous state.”
”Oh?” Upon hearing these words, Zhou Bao's ears pricked up, ”Did you say Divine Wind Palace will try to kill me? Who will they be sending?”
”I don't know. Though I'm one of the 28 constellations in Immortal Palace, you know, I'm only a Level Eight expert. How would I know so much about the top?”
”Alas, after hearing this, I suddenly have the urge to fight. Golden Rooster, help me to find out who will be my assassin if I reveal my identity.”
”What are you going to do?” Looking at Zhou Bao who was squinting and smiling viciously, Golden Rooster had a bad feeling in his gut.
”I want to kill him first!” Zhou Bao answered simply.
”Don't even think about it. You are powerful but only equivalent to a Genuine Immortal at the Venerable Realm. You're so visible because you haven't yet stepped into the Mysterious Realm. Once you step into this realm, and your Genuine Spirit is included in the Golden Book of Fate, you'll know what ”no choice” means. The Divine Wind Palace has countless masters, especially in the inner palace, not to mention the Genuine Immortal of the Venerable Realm, even Genuine Immortals of the Lord of Heaven Realm are no less than 10 in number. If you go, you'll meet your death!”
”Since they're so strong, why do they restrict fighters? If they send those Lords of Heaven to fight, won't the battle come to a quicker end?”
”Humph, they wish! Don't forget that the Golden Book of Fate is not in their hands. Although no one has as much authority over the Golden Book of Fate as they do, we'll have more control over it if the four of us work together. Over the years, they indeed have absorbed many great powers, but what these restrained Genuine Immortals and Individual Immortals fear is the Golden Book of Fate, not Divine Wind Palace. Now that the control of the Golden Book of Fate has changed hands, those guys won't be stupid enough to work for Divine Wind Palace. Then Divine Wind Palace can only rely on themselves. Thus, the fight isn't going to be too great a battle!”
”But it involved a lot. The world is in turmoil because White Tiger destroyed Mingyi School!”
”In turmoil? Humph, this is just the beginning. They'll just have to give in this time, or they'll have a bigger problem ahead!”
”What, a bigger problem? Golden Rooster, seriously, what do you know?”
”Nothing, but Elder Qing told me this. Last time I came to see you, you were doing a closed-door training, so I didn't want to bother you. Now that you are out, I'll tell you what Elder Qing said.”
”What's he going to tell me?”
”Wait and see!”
”Wait and see? So I should not get involved?”
”Don't get involved as long as other people don't mess with you. But if someone should provoke you, it doesn't matter if you kill him!”
”Okay, got it, wait and see. By the way, there's one thing I have to ask you.”
”What is it?”
”About my father-in-law, what are you going to do about the Jin?”
”Hehe, White Tiger is in charge of all this, but I think he's going act soon. The Golden Book of Fate limits his freedom when it comes to having a hand in worldly affairs, so he is now choosing an agent!”
