Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“A monk who escaped from the Dashang Empire has yet to enter the Dachu Empire and is already wanted by the Great Mystery Sect. It seems that this Fahui is not simple!”
Su Chen weighed the identity jade token in his hand and whispered softly. Buzz…
As soon as he finished speaking, a ray of light appeared in the room.
Immediately after, Elder Chen appeared in the room.
Elder Chen looked at Su Chen, who was deep in thought, with a solemn expression and said, “Nephew, have you seen the mission issued by the sect?” “Elder, are you talking about the pursuit mission?”
Su Chen asked in surprise when he saw Elder Chen.
“Yes, it’s a pursuit mission!”
Elder Chen nodded and flipped his hand.
A scarlet token appeared in his palm. He said with a solemn expression, “Fahui… is not simple!”
“Oh?”
Su Chen raised his eyebrow and asked curiously, “Elder Chen, is there something else going on behind the scenes?”
Elder Chen was silent for a moment when he heard this.
Immediately after, he revealed a look of reminiscence and slowly said, “There is indeed a hidden story… If we really want to talk about it, we have to start with the Little Thunderclap Temple in the Dashang Empire from a hundred years ago…”
As Elder Chen explained, Su Chen also gradually understood the secrets behind this.
The Little Thunderclap Temple was originally the most powerful faction in Dashang.
It was hard to say exactly how powerful it was.
However, at its peak, there was a Saint Realm expert in the Little Thunderclap Temple!
It was said that it could contend with the Dashang Imperial Family!
If that was all, it would be fine.
After all, there was no difference in strength between the Little Thunderclap Temple and the Dashang Imperial Family.
The Dashang Imperial Family would not easily make a move against them.
But the most important thing was this Little Thunderclap Temple actually wanted to establish a Buddhist Kingdom in Dashang!
Such a move naturally touched the most sensitive nerves of the Dashang Imperial Family.
Hence, the Dashang Imperial Family and the Little Thunderclap Temple went to war!
In that battle, the sky darkened as the saints from both sides attacked.
In the end, the saint of Little Thunderclap Temple was no match for the saint of Dashang and was killed in the Little Thunderclap Temple.
The once mighty force crumbled because of this.
What was worth mentioning was in that battle, a duke of Dashang had relied on his strength at the peak stage of Nirvana Realm to kill a Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouse from the Little Thunderclap Temple!
When this battle achievement spread, it caused sensations in the surrounding empires.
Later, the Little Thunderclap Temple was destroyed.
Under the leadership of the duke, the Dashang Empire wiped out all the sect forces within its territory.
Therefore, the Dashang Empire became the only empire in the East Barrens without any sect forces.
And in Dashang, there were only three ways to cultivate:
Join the army, enter the palace, or join the government!
There was no other choice.
Fahui was none other than the current Abbot of the Little Thunderclap Temple!
The abbot’s identity was similar to the young sect leaders of the various large sects.
Although the Little Thunderclap Temple was destroyed a hundred years ago, there were still many survivors who managed to escape with its legacy at that time.
It was said that Fahui carried the precious treasure of Little Thunderclap Temple, the Seven-Colored Glazed Cup!
One had to know this treasure was the only sacred weapon in Little Thunderclap Temple!
However, after the destruction of the Little Thunderclap Temple, this treasure mysteriously disappeared.
Therefore, many people suspected that this treasure was with Fahui.
Even the Dashang Empire had issued a bounty.
Anyone who could kill Fahui would receive a middle-grade Dao weapon!
“No wonder the sect only mentioned that Fahui’s strength was very strong and did not mention what happened after… A sacred weapon, a Dao Weapon, and the legacy of the Little Thunderclap Temple… There’s also the inheritance of Little Thunderclap Temple. Just listening to this is maddening!”
At this moment, Su Chen understood.
The Great Mystery Sect didn’t talk about benefits but only danger.
From a certain point of view, they did not want the sect disciples to take risks.
After all, the higher-ups of the sect knew very well that human nature was very greedy.
Humans died for wealth, birds died for food.
Such things happened almost daily in the cultivation world.
If they knew that Fahui had such a treasure, not to mention a God Altar Realm cultivator, even a Spirit Sea Realm cultivator would not be able to resist taking a gamble.
Because Fahui’s net worth was too rich!
If one could kill him and inherit everything, rising to the heavens would be imminent!
As for whether Fahui’s possessions might endanger their lives, such things were unimportant before greedy human nature!
As the saying goes, fortune and prosperity are sought in danger! What if one turned out to be the chosen one blessed with great providence? After inheriting all of Fahui’s fortune, where in the world could one not go?
“Since Fahui possesses such a valuable treasure, there must be many people chasing after him, right? And considering he carries the precious legacy of the Little Thunderclap Temple, there should be high-ranking monks from the temple protecting him in secret, shouldn’t there?”
Su Chen pondered for a moment and pointed out the key point.
The Dashang Empire was still extremely mighty, especially after destroying the Little Thunderclap Temple and all the sect forces in its territory.
it could be said that they were in a very advantageous position. Without sufficient strength and resources, it would have been impossible to eliminate all the influential forces within the territory.
As for Little Thunderclap Temple…
It was merely an insect writhing in its death throes!
There should be powerhouses, but not many.
However, since Fahui had fled to Qingzhou, it would be difficult for him to find a place to hide.
After all, Qingzhou was a vast and chaotic place with a mix of various factions…
Trying to find someone there was like searching for a needle in the sea. It was as difficult as ascending to the heavens!
If they really found him, it might lead to great calamity.
“That’s right.”
Elder Chen gently nodded and said with a complicated expression, “Our Great Mystery Sect isn’t the only one chasing after Fahui. According to what I know, other sects within Dachu are also taking action. Furthermore, there are many powerful nobles within Dashang who are making moves! As for whether Fahui is secretly protected by high-ranking monks from the Little Thunderclap Temple, I can say for sure that even our sect leader doesn’t know! Perhaps, only the Dashang Imperial Family knows this!”
“Powerful nobles?”
When Su Chen heard this, he frowned slightly.
Elder Chen had already explained.
Within the Dashang Empire, Nirvana Realm experts could be conferred the title of Duke, Spirit Sea Realm warriors could be conferred the title of Marquis, and God Altar Realm elites could be conferred the title of Earl!
Of course, strength was only the basic requirement for obtaining these titles.
The most important factor was one’s contribution to the Dashang Imperial Family.
Even with the strength of Nirvana Realm, without enough contributions, one might not be able to be conferred the title of Duke!
Now, many powerful nobles of Dashang were on the move.
One thing was for sure.
The Dashang Imperial Family was determined to catch Fahui!
Otherwise, they wouldn’t spend so much to mobilize these nobles.
After all, each of them was a pillar of the Dashang Imperial Family, and they were extremely important!
If one of them unfortunately died, it would have a huge impact on the Dashang Empire..
