Why did you provoke her? Even Heaven itself is afraid of her.

"Logically speaking, that old guy shouldn't have done that."

He really couldn't understand it.

Although he and the Dark Palace Master were at odds, he wouldn't slander him.

Seeing him like this, Baili Chengfeng also fell into deep thought.

He was actually furious when he heard that the miracle had been leaked, but now that he thinks about it...

As the Holy Lord of the Temple said.

Whether it's the Dark Temple, the Holy Temple, or the Royal Academy, they are all the ones who least want the world to know this news.

Then the problem is coming.

Who exactly leaked this story of the miracle?

"Your Majesty, it seems I have misunderstood you. I apologize to you."

Baili Chengfeng has always been a man of action and responsibility. Since he had wronged someone, he should apologize.

He didn't want some people who thought they were superior and looked down on others.

"Senior Baili, what are you saying? This is not your fault, but... Senior, there is something I don't know whether I should say or not."

"You said."

"If we didn't leak this information, then who did? How did they find out? And they probably leaked it to make Senior Baili an enemy of our two halls and one academy."

The Holy Lord of the Temple looked at Baili Chengfeng and observed his expression.

Upon hearing this, Baili Chengfeng had to admit that it was indeed a possibility.

If he were the impatient type, he probably would have already started fighting with the people from the two halls and one courtyard.

"Damn it, I've been used by someone. If I find out who's using me, I'll make them regret it."

Meanwhile, in the dark hall.

Roy had no idea how much trouble he would suffer after he unintentionally spread the information he had learned from his master.

At that moment, she was still celebrating the success of her plan in her heart.

“Senior Baili, the miracle has now become an open secret. If the last key to unlocking the miracle is found, the consequences could be unimaginable. Therefore, I suggest that, in order to avoid further complications, we should find this last key as soon as possible.”

To enter the miracle, you must open its gate, and there are seven keys to this gate.

Aside from the three keys in Shenyin Valley, he possesses one each in the Holy Temple, the Dark Temple, and the Royal Academy, but the last key, which is also the most important, has disappeared without a trace.

Baili Chengfeng pondered for a moment, then nodded.

“What you say makes sense. Fine, we’ll do it your way. Go and bring the other two directly to your temple to assemble.”

"what?"

"What? Is there a problem?"

“Well, Senior Baili, it’s not that I’m unwilling, it’s just that this miracle has been making headlines recently, and many forces are probably observing it from the shadows. If I were to invite the two of them to my temple, it might attract their attention, and who knows…”

In the end, the Holy Lord of the Temple did not intend to continue speaking.

Baili Chengfeng naturally understood the meaning behind his words.

"Let them come. I want to see what they can do to me."

Baili Chengfeng was completely fearless.

But the Holy Lord of the Temple was not him, and he looked melancholy.

Having ability is a good thing.

"By the way, speaking of these people, I think I just heard that a number of forces were wiped out on the same day recently, including the Heavenly Sect and the Beacon Fire Sect. Is that true?"

Baili Chengfeng suddenly changed the subject and asked.

There was clearly some disbelief in his tone.

After all, the Xuan Tian Continent needs cultivators to support it. If it were destroyed overnight, the Xuan Tian Continent should not be so peaceful.

"It's true."

There's nothing to hide about this.

Upon hearing this, Baili Chengfeng frowned.

They were really wiped out?

Why wasn't the Xuan Tian Continent affected? Did the rules improve? Were they fixed?

But he clearly sensed that this continent was still incomplete.

Furthermore, the simultaneous annihilation of all major factions seems like the work of the same person.

Seeing Baili Chengfeng's appearance, the Holy Temple Master continued to speak and asked a question in return.

"Senior Baili, are you aware of the recent joint attack by several forces against the Ling family's patriarch?"

"What? A joint operation to wipe out the Ling family? Is it the Ling family I know?"

"It is the Ling family, the most prominent hidden family in the Azure Dragon Kingdom."

"Heh... those people are really asking for it."

Baili Chengfeng couldn't help but mock.

"Senior Baili, what do you mean by this? You seem to know a lot about the Ling family?"

The Holy Lord of the Temple probed.

He knew the Ling family was powerful, but it was quite unexpected that Baili Chengfeng would think highly of them.

"Boy, there are some things you'd better not know, but remember one thing: the Ling family is not someone anyone can mess with. Even if they seem to have fallen, they are still not someone you can mess with. And the Qinglong Kingdom's royal family, as long as the Ling family still exists, you'd better not touch them."

"Ok?"

He was asking about the Ling family, so how did it involve the Qinglong Kingdom's royal family?

What else is this about taking action against the royal family as long as the Ling family still exists?

What's going on here?

However, he then recalled what Shangguan Xiu had said last time: the emperor of the Azure Dragon Kingdom addressed the Ling family's ancestor as "ancestor."

Could it be...

Suddenly remembering something, he looked up sharply at Baili Chengfeng.

Even so, shouldn't it be like this?

Could the Ling family be hiding some secret?

Seeing his reaction, the latter said nothing.

Some things don't need to be said.

"When you mention the Ling family, you don't mean to say that those other forces were all destroyed by the Ling family, do you?"

Although the Ling family is powerful, it is probably impossible for them to wipe out the forces in the east, west, south, and north within a single day.

Not to mention them, even he couldn't do it.

If they were all in one place, he might not have a problem.

"Yes and no."

"Ok?"

"Senior Baili probably doesn't know this, but the Ling family has recently produced a new ancestor. Not only have all the major forces failed to suppress him, but they were also killed by this Ling family ancestor in one move before they could even make a move. To be honest, even my Holy Temple's Grand Elder and Dark Temple's Grand Elder tried to stop this Ling family ancestor to prevent the collapse of the Xuan Tian Continent, but they were no match for him."

One move? How is that possible? Even he couldn't do that.

"Tell me more about this Ling family patriarch."

"Senior Baili, let my disciple tell you about this Ling family patriarch. He knows more than I do."

Shangguan Xiu, who was suddenly called out, was speechless.

His master is great in every way, except he likes to drag him out for a stroll all the time.

It feels like an elder in the family showing off their own child.

Left with no other choice, Shangguan Xiu had to tell him everything he knew.

From the northern part of the city to Dragon City, not a single place was missed.

After listening, Baili Chengfeng fell into deep thought, standing quietly in place like a statue, not even noticing that Shangguan Xiu had finished speaking.

"Could she be the one I've been waiting for?"
