Chapter 180: Calculation
The two Emperor Lords stopped not far from Li Meng’er’s room.
"There’s a faint fragrance here, like a girl’s," Heavenly Dragon Emperor said.
Upon hearing this, Martial Ascendancy Sovereign also nodded and said,
"Mm, you’re right, this scent is indeed unique to girls. Heavenly Dragon Emperor, do you think there might be a girl inside?"
Heavenly Dragon Emperor nodded and said,
"You’re right, there should be a girl inside. But what on earth is the Jidao Imperial Court doing? What kind of girl would the Extreme Dao Emperor Lord specially arrange such good treatment for?"
After Heavenly Dragon Emperor finished speaking, he nodded towards Martial Ascendancy Sovereign, and then a wave of divine sense directly penetrated into Li Meng’er’s room.
When they saw Li Meng’er’s face beneath the ghost mask, they were momentarily stunned.
"This young girl is truly beautiful. Could it be that the Extreme Dao Emperor Lord is using her for... that?" Heavenly Dragon Emperor said.
"I don’t think so. She’s wearing a mask. I think she might be the adopted daughter of the Extreme Dao Emperor Lord," Martial Ascendancy Sovereign said.
Hearing Martial Ascendancy Sovereign’s words, Heavenly Dragon Emperor glanced at Martial Ascendancy Sovereign and said,
"I say, are you feigning ignorance or genuinely ignorant? Adopted daughters are quite popular now. You should know that saying, right?"
Martial Ascendancy Sovereign was startled and said,
"Thanks for the reminder! I’d forgotten about that. I didn’t expect the Extreme Dao Emperor Lord, at his age, to still be thinking about such things every day. He’s probably withered by now, isn’t he?"
Hearing Martial Ascendancy Sovereign say this, Heavenly Dragon Emperor’s mouth curved into a slight, mischievous smile.
"Alright, we don’t need to overthink this. It’s just that... what? This young girl’s realm is actually... actually..." Heavenly Dragon Emperor began.
Since the two were communicating with divine sense, their voices were completely inaudible to outsiders.
Watching Heavenly Dragon Emperor send out such a divine sense, Martial Ascendancy Sovereign also used his divine sense to scan Li Meng’er’s realm, and he too was immediately stunned.
"This... how is this possible... Celestial Immortal Realm high-level. How can there be such a young Celestial Immortal Realm high-level? Who exactly is this young girl? We were both wrong. This young girl shouldn’t be that old man’s adopted daughter. Looking at this situation, if she’s a disciple of the Jidao Imperial Court, then isn’t she the successor of the Jidao Imperial Court?" Martial Ascendancy Sovereign said.
"Precisely, you’re absolutely right. I think she very likely possesses Emperor level talent. Otherwise, it couldn’t be this terrifying. I checked this young girl’s bone age, and it’s around twenty-three or twenty-four. At this age, she has already reached a realm that the older generation takes a thousand years to reach, which is already rare. Therefore, only the legendary Emperor level talent can explain it," Heavenly Dragon Emperor said.
After saying this, Martial Ascendancy Sovereign said, "Heavenly Dragon Emperor, do you know about a piece of news circulating outside?"
"What news?"
"It’s said that Heavenly Dao Emperor has an adopted son whom he has been secretly cultivating, and he seems to have already reached the Celestial Immortal Realm," Martial Ascendancy Sovereign said.
"I’ve also heard about this, but Lord God Emperor Ye has never mentioned it. As Emperor Lords of a region, how can we keep focusing on this matter? We can only listen when Lord God Emperor Ye proactively speaks about it," Heavenly Dragon Emperor said.
"So what do we do now? This girl is a high-level Celestial Immortal Realm cultivator. Should we tell Lord God Emperor Ye about this?" Martial Ascendancy Sovereign said.
"No need. That old fellow from the Jidao Imperial Court seems to be aiming for first place in this grand competition. This masked girl should be his trump card. We’ll just watch. Anyway, with a Celestial Immortal Realm cultivator among our disciples, it’s certainly destined for failure without even needing to say it.
But you should consider, if the Jidao Imperial Court takes first place in this grand competition, then His Majesty, Emperor Ye’s face will be slapped repeatedly. At that time... hehehehe," Heavenly Dragon Emperor said with a malicious grin.
Upon hearing Heavenly Dragon Emperor’s idea, Martial Ascendancy Sovereign also found this method quite ingenious. Even if Lord God Emperor Ye had a Celestial Immortal Realm adopted son, if his realm was higher than that of the masked girl, then it would eliminate a competitor. If that girl took first place, then given Lord God Emperor Ye’s nature, he probably wouldn’t let it go.
After Martial Ascendancy Sovereign thought this through, he immediately gave Heavenly Dragon Emperor a thumbs-up.
"So, should we continue to look at the other room or just leave?" Martial Ascendancy Sovereign said.
"Hahaha, no need to keep looking, let’s go. Our purpose in coming here was actually to find out who this person with Emperor level talent truly is. Now that we’ve seen her, there’s no need to spend more time looking. Lest the Extreme Dao Emperor Lord discovers us and complains again," Heavenly Dragon Emperor said.
The two immediately agreed, and their figures slowly vanished from the spot.
Shortly after they disappeared, two more figures emerged.
It was precisely the Extreme Dao Emperor Lord Changtian and Liu Wuxie.
"Old Ancestor, you mean we just let those two see Li Meng’er’s realm? Will they tell Ye Lingtian?" Changtian said.
Liu Wuxie smiled and said,
"No matter. What if they tell? Those two certainly don’t know my strength. As for Meng’er’s strength, they’ve already probed it, but I guess they definitely won’t tell Ye Lingtian. Think about it, for nearly a hundred years, our Jidao Imperial Court has always been last in the grand competition, while the Tiandao Imperial Court has always been first. Who do you think will be unhappy if we suddenly make a splash now?"
Hearing Liu Wuxie’s words, Changtian suddenly saw the light and said,
"So that’s how it is! I thought they were in league with Heavenly Dao Emperor, all living by superficial efforts, saying one thing and doing another. These two fellows just want to sit back and watch the tigers fight. But they don’t know that even if we take first place, even if Ye Lingtian isn’t convinced, our Jidao Imperial Court has you presiding over it! They are not to be feared."
Hearing Changtian’s words, Liu Wuxie shook his head and said,
"You’re wrong. Relying on me is not as good as relying on that person. Although that person is not a disciple of our Jidao Imperial Court, he has known me for a long time. Even if I’m not here, he will help."
Hearing his Grandmaster’s words, Changtian naturally knew he was referring to Wang Yufan.
However, just as Liu Wuxie finished speaking, a divine sense directly entered Liu Wuxie’s ear:
"I say, old man, your family’s affairs, I won’t interfere. If you want to rely on me, you don’t even have a door!" Hearing this voice, Liu Wuxie shook his head and smiled helplessly.
Then he transmitted his voice, saying,
"So, little friend has been paying attention to what’s happening here all along."
"What do you think? Two little thieves came here, thankfully they didn’t do anything bad, otherwise, I’d give them two big beatings to eat."
Hearing Wang Yufan’s voice transmission, Liu Wuxie burst into laughter.
Changsheng, standing beside him, was stunned for a moment and said,
"Grandmaster, are you alright? Why are you laughing?"
