Chapter 110

Zhao Gao, who had been attending at the side, instinctively lowered his head upon hearing this.

His aged face was filled with shock and horror.

Inside, Ying Zheng's words had stirred up a monstrous wave!

His emotions could not settle for a long time!

Dayuan, Imperial City.

"Sixth Dragon Head?"

"Heh heh, it seems you truly are, just as I suspected, about to be unable to hide any longer!!"

He stared at the contents on the Heavenly Dao Golden List.

Tie Muzhen chuckled.

A strange glint flashed briefly in his eyes.

But the moment he thought of the other's terrifying strength,

a few shades of wariness uncontrollably rose on his face.

He deliberated for a few seconds.

Suddenly!

A flash of inspiration struck Tie Muzhen's mind, as though he had thought of something.

His whole body trembled slightly, his pupils contracting sharply!

He drew in a sharp breath, his tone carrying quite a bit of shock.

"Sixth Dragon Head, ranked sixth?"

"Yes, that should be right!"

"If that's the case, hiss~ the Qinglong Society is truly terrifying to such a degree!"

"To actually possess such an astonishing power!!"

He marveled.

Tie Muzhen's gaze flickered uncertainly.

The shock on his face lingered for a long time without fading.

There was no helping it.

This guess was simply too exaggerated!

So exaggerated that even he, as the sovereign of the Dayuan Dynasty ranked second among the Eight Great Dynasties,

was at this moment startled by his own conjecture!

But for some unknown reason,

the more he mulled it over, the more he felt this possibility was greater!

Otherwise,

why would it be that out of the Qinglong Society's seven Dragon Heads,

aside from Zhang Sanfeng who had already made the list,

the current sixth place happened to fall on the Sixth Dragon Head Zhang Daoling?

Could this possibly be a coincidence?

But if ranked by strength,

the lower the Dragon Head's number, the stronger they ought to be!

And five of the seven Dragon Heads remained unlisted.

The Heavenly Dao Golden List also happened to have five slots remaining.

This could not help but make him suspect!

Perhaps the next five ranks would be precisely the Qinglong Society's five Dragon Heads!

Although he was not a hundred percent certain,

the feeling in his gut told him

that his thought was correct!!

Thinking of this,

Tie Muzhen took two deep breaths to calm himself.

He shook his head and murmured in a voice only he could hear,

"Enough, the specifics will be known once the Heavenly Dao Golden List updates next time."

"But regardless of whether the remaining top five are all occupied by the Qinglong Society,"

"the Qinglong Society's power is already enormous!"

"If the next rankings truly are as I suspect, I'll have to think of a way to restrain them."

Having said this,

Tie Muzhen furrowed his brows tightly and fell into deep thought.

Great Tang, Fengxuan Pavilion.

"So it's the Celestial Master Mansion lineage, no wonder this name felt somewhat familiar to me."

She withdrew her gaze from the void.

Wu Zetian muttered thoughtfully to herself, a look of sudden realization on her little face.

It was because she suddenly recalled

that the Celestial Master Mansion of those days

had also been a renowned power within the Great Tang Realm!

In fact, it was no less impressive than the Fantasy Sound Workshop, the Tongwen Hall, or the Xuanming Sect!

What a pity.

In the end, it still could not escape decline.

So much so that now there are only two or three stragglers left.

Even the core inheritance, the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Art, vanished along with it without a trace.

But as the sovereign of the Great Tang Dynasty, the sole female emperor of the Nine Provinces, with an organization like Bu Liang Ren under her command,

she understood perfectly well.

The decline of the Celestial Master Mansion was mainly due to the Tongwen Hall and the Xuanming Sect!

Had it not been for the two of them joining hands,

if only one of them had tried to make a move against the Celestial Master Mansion,

at most it would have been a case of both sides suffering!

Thinking of this,

Wu Zetian's expression suddenly turned rather unpleasant.

She thought of Zhang Daoling!

If the Celestial Master Mansion had not declined, and its direct lineage successor were still here,

wouldn't she still have had a chance to establish ties with him?

Moreover, if she were willing to pay a price,

it might not even be impossible to recruit him over!

Unfortunately, there are no "ifs."

Thus,

her mood could hardly be good!

Composing herself, Wu Zetian shook her head and let out a soft sigh.

"Enough, enough. To gain it is my fortune; to lose it is my fate."

"Perhaps everything was long ago destined in the unseen."

Of course.

Easier said than done.

Deep down,

she still could not help but secretly resent the Xuanming Sect and the Tongwen Hall.
