Chapter 552: Chapter 300: The Thousand Martial Lord's Plan, Because You're Too Weak_1
A group of the Thousand Martial Hall\'s strongmen had somber expressions, fury dancing in their eyes.
Yet, none of them suggested intervening, even less did they propose having their own prodigy stepping in.
The timing wasn\'t right yet!
The Wei Emperor and others were seething with rage, wishing they could tear Xu Yan apart on the spot. However, as it was a contest among the heavenly prodigies, the rules were set in stone. They could not interfere!
Especially since the Thousand Martial Hall had issued such a command and not one person dared to defy this decree.
The other heavenly prodigies also fell into silence at this moment.
Should they step forward to confront him?
If Wei Yuan and his four companions were no match for him, how could one of them alone ever stand a chance?
Xu Yan\'s aura was surging, the power of his Divine Intent State had accumulated to its limit and it was time for a breakthrough.
He looked back at the Thousand Martial Hall and said loudly, "Today, I\'ll slay five of the Heavenly Prodigies from Qianwu State, giving you only half a month to prepare. After half a month, I will come challenge you again.
"I hope the honor of the Transcendent Spirit Sect\'s Thousand Martial Hall would not leave me disappointed!"
In half a month\'s time, he would be a martial artist of the Divine Origin Realm.
Once he enters the Divine Origin Realm, not to mention challenging heavenly prodigies of the Refining God Heavenly Man realm, he could even clash with the strongest martial artists who had managed to cultivate the Heavenly Earth Lingji to test his strength.
After saying his piece, Xu Yan didn\'t linger. He moved and disappeared from his spot in a blink of an eye.
"So fast!"
"What kind of movement technique is that?"
"No wonder Xu Yan had such confidence. Even the strongest martial artists might not be able to catch up with him!"
The watching crowd of martial artists realized that Xu Yan\'s speed surpassed even those peak Refining God Heavenly Man martial artists known for their swift movements.
The masters of the Thousand Martial Hall looked even more sullen, for they saw Xu Yan\'s movement technique was so swift that not even the usual strongest martial artists could keep up.
"Lord of the Hall, should we really wait half a month?" a elder asked in a deep voice.
"What could you do while Wu Tianan is here?" replied the Thousand Martial Lord, his voice eerily calm.
"We could select several prodigies from the three large countries and seven ancient families, and spend this half month enhancing their strengths, even cultivating a powerful killing mechanism for them."
The Thousand Martial Lord thought for a moment before speaking.
All the elders felt a chill go down their spines upon hearing this. This would be considered a form of cheating.
However, as this was a measure employed by the Transcendent Spirit Sect, there was no rule against it in the battle of the prodigies, nor any other limits. Plus, if the end complied with the cultivation of the powerful killing mechanism, they would either die or drop realms, unable to ever recover.
This would practically amount to mutual destruction.
Back in the clash with the Wanxing Martial Arts Academy, they made use of their sect\'s prodigies with this same technique, inflicting heavy damage on the prodigies of Wanxing.
And now, they were going to use it on Xu Yan.
The Thousand Martial Lord thought for a moment, then continued, "And within our own sect, select two or three prodigies who meet the requirements, enhance their strength, cultivate the powerful killing mechanism, and let them temporarily wield the power of Divine Artifacts.
"If necessary, let them take action. Regardless, the timing is not right yet, it\'s not the time for Hu Bubai and others to step in, this battle among the prodigies will be the last one in Ling domain."
"We must completely crush the All Ages Alliance, kill Wu Tianan, and it\'s time to make some changes to the ruling methods of the Ling domain."
"The Spirit Beast Tribe and the Azure Sea Spirit Tribe pose threats. When the Divine Bridge opens, we must completely suppress them."
The Thousand Martial Lord\'s eyes were cold, his words filled with murderous intent.
"Yes, Lord of the Hall!"
All the elders felt a chill run down their spines, realizing that the Lord was planning on changing the entire dynamics of the Ling Domain when the Divine Bridge opened.
The Thousand Martial Lord turned to leave, but stopped as if remembering something. He turned back and said, "There are those within our sect who have been unable to cultivate the Heavenly Earth Lingji despite reaching the peak of Refining God. Those who are growing old, it is time for them to serve the Thousand Martial Hall to their best."
"Let them cultivate the powerful killing mechanism, practice the Burning Life Martial Arts, and when necessary, let them assassinate Xu Yan."
"No one will know that they are from our Thousand Martial Hall, so what can Wu Tianan do?"
"This insolent boy, just because Wu Tianan is backing him, dares to show off his might before my Thousand Martial Hall? Will I let him live?"
"Does Wu Tianan truly believe that he alone can intimidate my Thousand Martial Hall and prevent us from taking any action? Without any proof that the Thousand Martial Hall is responsible, I want to see if Wu Tianan will really act recklessly!"
Upon hearing these words, the expressions of the elders grew solemn.
The Lord of the Hall was planning to use this tactic?
"Lord of the Hall, is it really necessary to go this far?" an elder asked in a deep voice.
"The calamity of the Blood Demon happened because we were not decisive enough. Otherwise, how could the Blood Demon rise? We cannot repeat the same mistake!" the Thousand Martial Lord replied sternly.
"Yes, Lord of the Hall!"
Everyone felt a chill on hearing this.
The Blood Demon calamity was the greatest crisis in the history of the Spirit Sect.
In the eyes of the Lord of the Hall, was the threat level of Xu Yan already on par with the Blood Demon?
The Thousand Martial Lord departed, striding away.
The elders began to put arrangements in place for the following battles, preparing for Xu Yan\'s challenge in half a month\'s time.
In the core area behind the Thousand Martial Hall Mountain, there was a gigantic underground hall that one could access through a cave. This massive hall was carved out of a spirit mine, and strange auras emanated from the glowing spirit crystals on its ceiling.
