NOVPUB"Indeed, there is still someone here!"
The Heavenly Corpse Old Man felt a sudden chill in his heart as he battled the Thirteenth Prince; while waiting outside earlier, he had faintly sensed an extremely subtle breath. He had guessed that not only Mo Junling and others harbored designs on the Transforming Dragon Gate.
Just as expected!
"Who is he?"
Su Changkong was filled with a sense of gravity. The young man seemed to step out from the void, and earlier, he had been nearly oblivious to his existence. This felt somewhat like facing Qin Miesheng, who would spy from the shadows without actively revealing his breath, making him utterly undetectable.
"Such a terrifying aura... Could it be..."
Gu Lie was also secretly on guard, vaguely guessing the identity of the youth, emitting a trace of a transcendent aura that invoked a deep-rooted disdain and fear from within.
Upon seeing the young man who appeared, Mo Junling and the Mysterious Yin Demon Girl were somewhat incredulous yet excited.
The young man looked at Su Changkong with kindness: "You must be Dao Wufeng, right?"
"Who are you?"
Su Changkong, on guard within, countered.
This young man seemed terrifying. Despite having an elegant and refined appearance, he was extraordinarily dangerous, far from as harmless as he looked.
"My name is Wei Shengxin."
The youth announced his own name.
Upon hearing this name, both the Mysterious Yin Demon Girl and Mo Junling became excited.
"Is it the Alliance Hierarch... he actually came in person?"
The Mysterious Yin Demon Girl couldn’t help but be shocked.
Wei Shengxin was extremely mysterious. He had another identity, being the Alliance Hierarch of the Sacred Heart Alliance, formed by a union of the Evil Sect and the Demon Gate!
Mo Junling, only a Vice Alliance Hierarch within the Sacred Heart Alliance, had agreed to serve in that capacity solely because of Wei Shengxin.
"The Alliance Hierarch... has grown. The last time I saw him, he was but a child... His aura is now unfathomable. Has he become a Martial Saint?" Mo Junling was secretly alarmed. He hadn’t recognized the other party at first because their last meeting was nearly ten years ago.
Back then, Wei Shengxin was just an under-ten-year-old child, but the miraculous abilities and methods he displayed awed Mo Junling into contentment with his position as Vice Alliance Hierarch.
What Mo Junling hadn’t expected was that Wei Shengxin would actually come in person this time, and only showed up after seeing the alliance of five being suppressed by Su Changkong.
"Sacred Heart Alliance’s Alliance Hierarch? He is Wei Shengxin?"
Seeing the respectful attitude of the Mysterious Yin Demon Girl and Mo Junling towards the young man in white, the Heavenly Corpse Old Man immediately understood the youth’s identity.
Wei Shengxin was a terrifying figure! Shrouded in mystery, even the heads of the Demon Path bowed respectfully before him as the Sacred Heart Alliance’s Alliance Hierarch! 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓾𝒷.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Having lived for countless years, the Heavenly Corpse Old Man had some guesses about Wei Shengxin’s identity — a genuine reincarnation of a Martial Saint and likely an ancestor from the Evil Sect!
"Brother Blade... this youth in white is Wei Shengxin, the Alliance Hierarch of the Sacred Heart Alliance! He is a true reincarnation of a Martial Saint! It’s best not to provoke him!"
The Heavenly Corpse Old Man quickly circulated his True Qi, condensing his voice into a beam to transmit it to Su Changkong from afar, his tone laced with a hint of fear and urgency.
"Reincarnation of a Martial Saint!"
Su Changkong’s heart tightened at the revelation. Upon seeing Wei Shengxin, he had already roughly guessed the other’s identity, and the Heavenly Corpse Old Man had confirmed it.
The reincarnation of a Martial Saint meant that an ancestor had been a Martial Saint, and through the transmission of bloodlines, there was a chance that descendants similar to the Martial Saint ancestor in both appearance and talent would be born.
They could even master martial arts to their highest realms with no need for a teacher, as if reviewing skills they already knew by heart! Thus, they were regarded as reincarnations of Martial Saints!
But those Martial Saint descendants who could successfully regress to their ancestors’ bloodline were few. Most Martial Saints, once having died while meditating, had their legacies dissipated into the dust of history, like Bai Xingzhi and the Heavenly Dragon Martial Saint.
Now, a genuine reincarnated Martial Saint was standing before him, and this person was also the Alliance Hierarch of the Sacred Heart Alliance!
Wei Shengxin looked at Su Changkong without showing a trace of hostility. He spoke gently, "Dao Wufeng, I’m aware of the enmity between you and Mo Junling. It would be better to resolve disputes rather than let them fester. I am here today to mediate this enmity."
"Mediate the enmity?" Su Changkong frowned. He was on high alert, finding it hard to believe that Wei Shengxin had truly come to mediate as he claimed, rather than for the Transforming Dragon Gate.
Sure enough, Wei Shengxin’s tone changed as he spoke, "The Transforming Dragon Gate is a Divine Artifact left by the Heavenly Dragon Martial Saint. Your obtaining it is part of your fate, and I will not seize it. I only need to borrow it to study and comprehend it for a while. Once done, I will return it to you."
Wei Shengxin proposed to ’borrow’ the Transforming Dragon Gate from Su Changkong, claiming to only study and ponder its secrets before returning it.
But of course, Su Changkong wouldn’t believe him. Wei Shengxin’s offer sounded gracious, but if Su Changkong really lent the Transforming Dragon Gate to him, there would likely be no return. And even if he truly intended to return it, who would ensure it after studying for years, or even decades?
Su Changkong said gravely, "The Transforming Dragon Gate was given to me by the Heavenly Dragon Martial Saint; it belongs to me. You expect me to lend it to you just because you ask? What benefit is there for me in this?"
Wei Shengxin wanted to borrow a Divine Artifact with nothing but sweet words? On what grounds?
Facing Su Changkong’s challenge, Wei Shengxin didn’t get angry. He said earnestly, "You killed the Demon Puppet and plundered the sects of several members of my Sacred Heart Alliance, severing even their Spirit Veins. Your actions were excessive and became a great enmity. As the Alliance Hierarch of the Sacred Heart Alliance, I should seek justice for them.
However, if you lend me the Transforming Dragon Gate, I will declare the grievances null and void!"
