Origin Court: Accepting Disciples With A System
Chapter 58 Unexpectedly InjuredTHE YOUNG LORD and the four demon generals went silent after hearing the whole story. The former’s father told him about Cao Nima’s presence, who seemed to be coming from the Central Domain. With this variable present, they couldn’t rashly attack Guile City without confirming the other party’s identity.
After all, if they weren’t meticulous enough, they might become an enemy for the Central Domain to eliminate. As long as that City Palace Lord from the domain remained, they could not do anything to him.
Even if the young lord of Diabolos City and his father teamed up against that man, they might not have a chance of overpowering the latter, let alone winning or killing him in the process.
The City Palace Lord had long been regarded as the strongest of all the experts in Da Sishen. He was the one who regulated and made rules for every single person in the realm to abide by.
He practiced the Divination Path and could predict the future at certain points. Hence, they needed to be careful when dealing with such a kind of expert. None of them were even aware of that City Palace Lord’s true cultivation, so it was best for them to hold back..
Although they wanted to conquer the entire Da Sishen in preparation for something important, they could only take it slowly, step by step.
“Father must have been aggrieved with mother’s death. Until now, he hasn’t let go of this grievance and still wished…” the young lord trailed and looked at Runic Demon. “Runic Demon, the moment I ascend to the higher realm, you will take charge of everything here. As for my father, he will be taking charge of something while I look for reinforcements there.”
Staring at the Asura Stone that contained the inheritance of the Great Asura Demon from the Nether Universe, his eyes were determined. The stone was glowing red, but it was neither blinding nor pleasing. Just somewhere in between.
Runic Demon just nodded his head solemnly. He knew the circumstances of the father and son. Apart from him, no one knew what they experienced. It was horrible. In fact, telling others it was horrible would be an understatement.
After all, if someone you dearly loved died before you while you were powerless to do anything, how would you feel?
If Yang Lujia were here, he would probably think this was the common revenge trope of some, if not most, fantasy stories he had read.
The young lord scanned the entire hall, then moved his gaze to his four demon generals. “Guard me while we’re at it. A month later, if I still don’t wake up, you can fetch the disciples who will participate in the Annual Death Ceremony with you. I have to hurry up.”
Runic Demon sighed as he watched the young lord disappear from his throne. He had already anticipated that this would happen, but it was too abrupt. “Young lord, it’s not too late to back out and live a peaceful life,” he thought.
Meanwhile, the other three’s gazes on the young lord were complicated. Sooner or later, this young lord they revered so much would disappear and ascend to a higher realm after becoming a Saint.
Da Sishen could no longer accommodate someone at that level unless they’d forced the Will of Da Sishen. Even so, Da Sishen would be in danger of destruction then. That wasn’t what the young lord wanted. He still needed Da Sishen for something he and his father would do.
However, the Wills of the realms were not something someone could just rip off. They couldn’t be hurt by any cultivator unless they reached the height that already transcended the five realms, like Yang Lujia, who usually scared of the lightning tribulations every time his disciples ascended into a higher cultivation realm.
These Wills controlled the rules of the world. Although the Will of Da Sishen might be weaker than the other three higher realms, it could still proficiently control the rules in order for the realm to continue to exist. If the sun was the source of energy for Earth, the source that kept the solar system intact, then the Will of Da Sishen was the source for the realm to continue to thrive and exist.
The City Palace Lord, on the other hand, was attempting to recover within his abode. From the strike he received from afar, he knew that person was a trillion times stronger than him. If that person were to have appeared in front of him, then he would have probably already died.
The terror that person brought him. It was horrifyingly terrible that he wanted to just end his life. He might have looked strong in front of several people, but inside he was already injured when he barely managed to stop that small light, which carried rules that were out of this world.
If it was really the man who could save the entire realm, it would be something worth a grandiose banquet to celebrate with. If he was otherwise the enemy from the dark, things would really get tricky, especially after he sustained an injury to his soul.
He just didn’t anticipate that the other party was so strong that he could notice someone was watching him.
Sighing, he looked at his daughter dotingly. “What happened? Are there people messing with you again?”
Facing his daughter, he didn’t know what to say. He always brushed off all of her suitors to protect her from their bad intentions. In this world, love could be rarely seen. Almost all the time, there were only greed and iniquity.
Her daughter had a body that almost all the cultivators coveted. She could help them advance their cultivation through the essence in her body. No one knew what type of body she had, not even him, but he knew that her essence could help others advance in their cultivation. In fact, he wasn’t the only one who could sense it. It also included the God Emperors of the distinguished families in their city.
Frowning, Runic Demon did not steel their resolve in wanting to pursue their plan to create a storm in Guile City. Leading the other three demon generals, he looked in the direction of Guile City.
“Let’s lie low for the meantime,” Runic Demon muttered. “By the way, on my way, I heard that the Central Domain was attacked by someone and almost blew up their entire city. Soul Demon, I believe you have investigated this matter.”
“Yes. Unfortunately, the city was left unharmed. Rumors say that the City Palace Lord himself stopped the assault.”
Runic Demon’s eyes flashed. “Continue your investigation,” he said as he slid his gaze toward Speed Demon and Fierce Demon. “And you two, help Soul Demon with this task. I felt like something had happened to the City Palace Lord. You go and investigate whether or not he would attend some of the events in their city that held importance. If he didn’t, by any chance, it might mean something…”
