Chapter 141.1: The Trump Cards Move
The Bright Palace.
Killing intent gleamed coldly in the red-bearded elder's eyes. "Well, well... a Violet Palace cultivator has emerged from the Hundred Nations. What an astonishing blessing."
Inside the palace hall, three Violet Palace cultivators and dozens of Nascent Souls exchanged looks, each one tinged with murderous intent. They presided over the Hundred Nations Blood War.
"In a backwater like the Hundred Nations, a brat just so happens to break into the Violet Palace realm, and suddenly thinks he's invincible? Even declaring war on us? That is the biggest joke under heaven!" barked a notoriously hot-tempered Violet Palace expert.
How could they not be furious? They had ample resources and power. Unless a Yin Spirit appeared, who could hope to challenge them? A lone Violet Palace cultivator was simply courting death by provoking the Bright Palace.
"That Blood-Clothed Sword God is getting way ahead of himself. His clan should be in the Chen Kingdom. Why don't we capture them and force him out of hiding?" a Nascent Soul eagerly suggested.
"That would be unwise," another replied. "We are, after all, the righteous pillar of the Cuiyun Continent. Such petty acts would tarnish our reputation. More importantly, the Earth Sword Marquis's clan has long since perished."
The Nascent Souls fell silent. The war was already underway. Who still cared about reputation at a time like this?
"One Violet Palace cultivator is hardly worth all this fuss. If he dares show himself in the coming days, we'll make sure he never returns," said Qian Yuan, the leading Violet Palace cultivator.
As a mid-stage Violet Palace cultivator, he commanded considerable influence within the Bright Palace. Even his disciple's talent was extraordinary, ranking near the top of the Eastern Lands Prodigy List, with great potential to reach the Violet Palace realm.
Qian Yuan had come to oversee the war not just to win, but to build his reputation. If the Bright Palace ever added another Palace Master, his name would almost certainly be on the list.
With his decree, the hall fell silent. The discussion came to an end.
