Chapter 407: Movements of All Parties

In the Zushen Sect Secret Realm, within a divine temple above the Sea of Nine Netherworlds.

At this moment, two figures appeared one after the other in the great hall of this temple; they were none other than Lu Qingshan and the Lord of Nine Netherworlds.

"Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds!"

While waving his hand to summon numerous fine wines and delicacies, the Lord of Nine Netherworlds looked at Lu Qingshan and asked, "I wonder why you chose to act against that You Mo Zunzhe, and even enslaved his soul?"

Hearing the Lord of Nine Netherworlds' words, Lu Qingshan quickly replied, "It is merely some personal grievances!"

"Personal grievances?"

The Lord of Nine Netherworlds' voice began to grow solemn: "Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds, I warned you long ago!"

"Although the Zushen Sect does not forbid us peripheral members from fighting each other, we are still quite united to a certain extent!"

"When you destroyed the divine kingdom of the Green-Robed Zunzhe and killed him, I told you then that we Universe Lords should best not directly act against those Universe Zunzhes!"

"Yet how little time has passed, and you have acted against that You Mo Zunzhe again, even enslaving his soul!"

"That You Mo Zunzhe is a powerful figure under Feng Tian; if you show Feng Tian so little respect, how can he endure it?"

"This..."

After hearing the Lord of Nine Netherworlds' words, Lu Qingshan could not help but say again, "This time, I thank you, Lord of Nine Netherworlds, for helping me resolve this crisis!"

To be honest, ever since Lu Qingshan became a peripheral member of the Zushen Sect and joined the ranks under the Lord of Nine Netherworlds, the Lord of Nine Netherworlds had treated him very well.

Even when Lu Qingshan was still at the Universe Zunzhe stage, the Lord of Nine Netherworlds had arranged many suitable missions for him, thereby earning him numerous Honor Points.

Once Lu Qingshan smoothly crossed into the Lord Realm, his relationship with the Lord of Nine Netherworlds grew even closer.

The Green-Robed Zunzhe, serving as an Acting Divine General, was also a peripheral member of the Zushen Sect and simultaneously a powerful figure under the Lord of Nine Netherworlds.

Last time, when Lu Qingshan destroyed the Green-Robed Zunzhe's divine kingdom, obliterated the Tree of Life within it, and finally killed the Green-Robed Zunzhe, the Lord of Nine Netherworlds was quite angry upon learning of this; however, upon realizing that the Green-Robed Zunzhe had once killed Lu Qingshan, he let the matter slide lightly.

Now, because Lu Qingshan provoked the Divine Lord Feng Tian by enslaving the You Mo Zunzhe, it was still the Lord of Nine Netherworlds who stepped in to help him resolve the crisis.

"Although I helped you resolve this crisis, this matter is far from over!"

While waving his hand to pour a full cup of fine wine for Lu Qingshan, the Lord of Nine Netherworlds looked at him and said seriously, "Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds, if that You Mo Zunzhe offended you, killing him would have sufficed!"

"If absolutely necessary, wait until he is resurrected and kill him several more times, ensuring that for his future long ages he cannot repay the resources consumed by his resurrection!"

"But now that you have enslaved his soul, this is undoubtedly a very bad breach of rules! Once the powerful figures of the Meng Yao Zu learn of this matter, I fear they will not easily let it rest!"

"I understand!"

Lu Qingshan raised his wine cup and drank with the Lord of Nine Netherworlds, then quickly nodded and said, "I will handle this matter!"

"That is good!"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's reply, the Lord of Nine Netherworlds nodded slightly, then continued, "However, Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds, in the future you had best not act against the Universe Zunzhes under our Zushen Sect again; otherwise, other powerful figures will certainly take offense!"

"No problem!"

Lu Qingshan immediately nodded again and said.

Afterwards, Lu Qingshan drank heartily with the Lord of Nine Netherworlds within the temple before taking his leave.

And while Lu Qingshan and the Lord of Nine Netherworlds were drinking heartily, the news that he had enslaved the Meng Yao Zu's You Mo Zunzhe and engaged in a great battle with the Divine Lord Feng Tian spread rapidly throughout the entire Primal Universe.

After all, Lu Qingshan's previous battle with the Divine Lord Feng Tian had already attracted much attention, and within the Zushen Sect gathered supreme powerful figures from all factions across the Primal Universe, so the speed of the news's spread was truly astonishing.

Meng Yao Zu territory, Meng Zu Secret Realm.

The virtual world of the Meng Yao Zu covering the entire Meng Zu Secret Realm; here lay a vast expanse of mist, with a range of white palace complexes rising and falling continuously.

And in a divine temple at the very center resided one of the Meng Yao Zu's greatest existences, the Meng Yao Zu.

At this moment, within the great hall of the Meng Yao Zu's palace, nine figures sat on either side of a long table, while the main seat was occupied by a massive silver-white great serpent; this was the Meng Yao Zu.

"Ancestor!"

An extraordinary great serpent, its entire body covered in blood-red snake scales upon which complex secret patterns were etched, spoke first.

This extraordinary great serpent possessed a pair of eyes on its head resembling white jade, constantly emitting snow-white radiance, while the pupils within resembled grinding wheels carved with countless strange secret patterns, spinning incessantly.

This person was none other than the second strongest of the Xue Can Eye Snake lineage, one of the Meng Yao Zu's sixteen imperial clans, the Lord of Xue Can!

At this moment, the Lord of Xue Can looked at the foremost Meng Yao Zu and said, "Just now, the Divine Lord Feng Tian of the Zushen Sect sent me a message, stating that the You Mo Zunzhe of the Ghost Demon Ape lineage has just been soul-enslaved by the Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds of the Human Clan!"

"How is this possible?"

"How dare the Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds do such a thing?"

"Truly seeking death!"

Hearing the Lord of Xue Can's words, the other Universe Lords of the Meng Yao Zu surrounding them all spoke up and shouted.

"Regardless, this matter has indeed already occurred!"

The Lord of Xue Can, standing nearby, immediately said, "Upon learning of this, I immediately contacted several friends within the Zushen Sect to verify; now the authenticity of this news has been confirmed!"

"Impossible!"

"That You Mo was at least a Universe Hegemon; even if he was no match for a Universe Lord, he could have self-destructed before being attacked!"

"Exactly! How long has the Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds been cultivating? How could he possibly achieve such feats in soul attacks?"

Upon hearing this, the Meng Yao Zu Universe Lords one by one still refused to believe it, after all, the You Mo Zunzhe, as a Universe Hegemon, held a very high status within the entire Meng Yao Zu.

As for the Meng Yao Zu sitting on the main seat, he did not speak, merely watching silently.

"I too do not wish to believe this matter, but it is indeed true!"

The Lord of Xue Can spoke again, "I think what we must do now is deliberate on how to handle this matter!"

"A Universe Hegemon of our clan has been soul-enslaved by the Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds; if we handle this improperly, once it spreads, others will think we fear the Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds, that we fear the Human Clan!"

"Kill! We must kill him!"

In the greenish-yellow eyes of the Lord Tianlang of the Meng Yao Zu lay a madness of killing intent: "The Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds actually dared to enslave a Universe Hegemon of our clan; we must kill him!"

"How to kill him?"

The Lord of Xue Can immediately spoke, "When the Divine Lord Feng Tian sent me the message earlier, he mentioned that he had already acted against the Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds once, but even though the Divine Lord Feng Tian exerted his utmost, he failed to annihilate the Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds!"

"Therefore, to annihilate the Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds, only the two Demon Ancestors must intervene!"

"But the Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds possesses other avatars; even if the two Demon Ancestors intervene, it will be difficult to completely kill him. Yet if we do this, it might trigger an all-out war between our Meng Yao Zu and the human race!"

"So what if it is an all-out war?"

Another Meng Yao Zu Universe Master immediately spoke in a cold voice: "Whether it is the strongest in the universe, Universe Masters, or Zifeng Zunzhe, our Meng Yao Zu far outnumber the human race. Even if an all-out war breaks out, we have no fear!"

"What about the Insect Race and the Mechanical Race?"

Another Universe Master with two sharp horns on his head immediately spoke: "Once we and the human race engage in all-out war, the Insect Race and the Mechanical Race will surely profit. They are definitely eager to see us and the human race destroy each other!"

"This conflict indeed should not be expanded!"

Meng Yao Zu quickly spoke: "Zhenjiao and I are currently exploring a dangerous place within the Sea of the Universe. If our journey proceeds smoothly, the overall strength of our Meng Yao Zu might increase significantly. Therefore, the two of us have very little energy to attend to these matters recently!"

"However, since the Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds has broken the rules so egregiously, our Meng Yao Zu naturally cannot simply swallow our anger!"

"Here is what we shall do!"

Meng Yao Zu waved his hand, and a phantom projection quickly appeared in the void, displaying numerous pieces of information about Lu Qingshan.

"This is the data on the Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds!"

Meng Yao Zu looked at the phantom screen and continued speaking: "Currently, he has numerous disciples under his command. Most of them are Hei Fengwang Immortals, and only two have entered the Venerable Realm!"

"Next, we must find a way to kill or even enslave the disciples under his command! After all, the Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds broke the rules first, so this matter cannot be blamed on our Meng Yao Zu!"

"Tianlang, Nianjiao, I entrust this matter to the two of you!"
