Chapter 1581: Establishing Authority and Leaving the True Martial Holy Sect
"National Master Lunri, do you really think I'm so easy to deceive?"
Xu Zimei said calmly.
"Look at those shrimp soldiers and crab generals behind you. Are these the people you brought as support?
What can they possibly support?"
Upon hearing this, the disciples behind felt insulted, one by one.
"What do you mean?
We've traveled a thousand miles; isn't that considered a small gift with deep affection?"
"Exactly, even if you're the ancestor of the True Martial Holy Sect, is it wrong for us to help you?"
"Are you really here to help us?" Xu Zimei asked without getting angry.
"Whatever the ancestor has to say, just speak," National Master Lunri replied.
"Coincidentally, we're preparing to leave to destroy the Ancient Dragon Nation. So, why not join me," Xu Zimei said.
Upon hearing this, the smiles on several faces froze.
"This ancestor truly knows how to joke," National Master Lunri laughed.
"Joke, do you think I'm joking?" Xu Zimei looked at him calmly.
National Master Lunri's smile abruptly stopped.
He then said, "It's not that I look down on the True Martial Holy Sect.
But with your current state, what can you use to destroy the Ancient Dragon Nation?
I truly can't fathom it."
"I alone can destroy the entire Ancient Dragon Nation with a flick of my fingers; what's so difficult about that," Xu Zimei said dismissively.
Upon hearing these words, National Master Lunri and all the disciples understandably didn't believe him.
The strength of the Ancient Dragon Nation was something they, as a Supreme Nation, understood best.
If Xu Zimei could destroy the Ancient Dragon Nation with a flick of his fingers.
Wouldn't that mean he could also destroy the Heavenly Saint Supreme Nation with the same ease?
This was something National Master Lunri couldn't accept.
For they had always harbored a sense of pride in front of the True Martial Holy Sect.
This pride was the kind of natural arrogance born from an upper sect looking down on a lower one.
If the True Martial Holy Sect were to truly restore its former glory, they would rather find it unsettling.
"I admit this ancestor is very powerful," National Master Lunri stated.
"But within the Ancient Dragon Nation, there are equally strong forces.
There are not just many Great Emperors.
They're even in alliance with the Cang Azure Dragon clan.
Among the Supreme Nations of the Heaven Extreme Realm, the Ancient Dragon Nation's strength is ranked in the top three."
In strict terms, even their Heavenly Saint Supreme Nation isn't a match for the Ancient Dragon Nation.
......
Xu Zimei was too lazy to argue over these matters.
He simply replied indifferently, "Now that you're at the True Martial Holy Sect.
I'm the one who decides here.
If you listen, you might live.
If you don't, I won't mind obliterating you.
As for the motives behind your visit, I can't be bothered to inquire."
"You dare to kill us, aren't you afraid of our Heavenly Saint Supreme Nation's reprisal?
You've already offended the Ancient Dragon Nation.
Do you intend to offend two Supreme Nations simultaneously?" That disciple spoke fearlessly.
He believed that if Xu Zimei was sensible, he definitely wouldn't harm them.
But evidently, this disciple was about to be disappointed.
Because as his words fell, Xu Zimei merely glanced at him.
A powerful void distortion appeared.
The disciple couldn't even let out a scream before he was crushed by the twisting void.
"Seems I've been too mild-mannered," Xu Zimei said indifferently.
"You... you killed him," National Master Lunri's face drastically changed.
"Do you wish to follow in his footsteps?" Xu Zimei asked.
National Master Lunri instantly fell silent.
The group of arrogant disciples behind him all lowered their heads, not daring to speak much.
This guy truly dared to kill.
And he wasn't afraid of offending their Heavenly Saint Supreme Nation.
This was precisely what made everyone fearful.
Originally, this time was meant for National Master Lunri to bring them for some experience, and incidentally find some presence in the True Martial Holy Sect.
Unexpectedly, they encountered such a slayer.
......
Xu Zimei waved his hand in disinterest.
Said, "Dismissed, we depart early tomorrow."
"We obey the ancestor's decree," Wang Hengzhi said hurriedly.
While the members of Heavenly Saint Supreme Nation also breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly retreated.
In this grand hall, it was too stifling.
Once everyone had left, Xu Zimei finally closed his eyes.
If anyone could look inside his body.
They would likely see a shadow of a tower appearing in Xu Zimei's mind.
This tower was identical to the True Martial Trial Tower.
Just reduced in countless sizes.
Of course, most parts of the tower were phantom at the moment, only the very base was solid.
Xu Zimei seemed to have entered a unique state.
Time slowly passed by.
......
Meanwhile, outside the True Martial Holy Sect.
National Master Lunri brought a group of disciples and was arranged into a courtyard by Wang Hengzhi.
During this time, National Master Lunri was courteous.
This was the first time Wang Hengzhi, as a Sect Master, felt a sense of accomplishment.
In the past, he was always overlooked by others.
Only after Wang Hengzhi left did these disciples from Heavenly Saint Supreme Nation eagerly start talking.
"National Master, the True Martial Holy Sect is growing more and more arrogant."
"He killed Senior Brother, how can this matter just be dropped?"
Each disciple was filled with indignation.
National Master Lunri was evidently more cautious and calm.
He said calmly, "Otherwise, are you planning revenge?"
"We're certainly not his opponents, but our Heavenly Saint Supreme Nation has countless experts.
Are we afraid of an ancestor from a sect that's already declined?" a disciple said with a faint smile.
National Master Lunri snorted coldly.
Then said, "Why the rush, didn't he say he would go destroy the Ancient Dragon Nation."
"He's just bragging in front of us," a disciple retorted disbelievingly.
"Then let's follow them.
See if they truly dare to go to the Ancient Dragon Nation," National Master Lunri said.
"If he destroys the Ancient Dragon Nation, you should know what to do.
If on the contrary, they're killed by the Ancient Dragon Nation, it saves us from acting."
"The National Master truly is far-sighted," all the disciples began to flatter him.
"Alright, all of you keep low-profile during this time.
Otherwise, you'll be killed for nothing; that man seems very brutal," National Master Lunri waved his hand, instructing.
......
The night quickly passed.
When dawn arrived, chasing away the last slivers of darkness.
Xu Zimei let out a long breath of black air.
Slowly opened his eyes.
Meanwhile, Wang Hengzhi brought all disciples along with a few elders, waiting at the sect gate for a long time.
People from Heavenly Saint Supreme Nation were also waiting nearby.
Xiao An'an pushed Xu Zimei, slowly approaching.
However, when daylight broke, someone suddenly realized.
The True Martial Trial Tower of the sect was missing.
Originally, the True Martial Trial Tower stood tall in the northern land; everyone could see it by merely looking up.
But now, the True Martial Trial Tower was gone, leaving the sight rather empty.
Wang Hengzhi understood that the disappearance of the True Martial Trial Tower was definitely related to Xu Zimei.
