Tycoon War God

The other five remained silent.

”Have you all lost your minds? Lin Wudi is a living legend, the number one person in the world, who once even slew a Foundation Building Immortal!”

Shangguan Shiming was in disbelief, feeling these people were outrageously bold.

They were merely Worldly Wanderers; by what right did they dare to conspire against Lin Wudi? Did they really think he wouldn’t kill?

”Master Shangguan, you haven’t been scared out of your wits by Lin Wudi, have you?” someone scoffed.

Shangguan Shiming didn’t respond, instead taking a step back. She had no life-or-death grudge with Lin Mu—the man known as Lin Wudi—and didn’t want to get involved with these madmen.

The five of them were all Worldly Wanderers from the Ancient Land Sects. The one dressed like a wealthy merchant, Nan Weiwo, was even the Worldly Wanderer from the second-ranked sect in the Ancient Land, the Sword Control Sect.

But even so, Shangguan Shiming had no confidence in their so-called plan.

While Foundation Building Immortals are formidable, entering the secular world subjects them to the suppression of the Heavenly Dao’s rules, leaving them barely able to exert a fraction of their power. Ao Guang was a perfect example, heavily sealed and unable to use his full strength. By the time he was on the verge of death and tried to break his seals to take Lin Wudi down with him, it was already too late. If even a Foundation Building Immortal couldn’t kill Lin Wudi, what makes these people think they can?

Nan Weiwo chuckled. ”It’s not surprising that Master Shangguan would think that. Lin Wudi is overwhelmingly powerful, and no one can rival him. Just a short while ago, I received news that Lin Wudi killed that old monster, Rei, at the Vassa Temple.”

”Rei of the Temple Sanctuary is dead?”

The other four Worldly Wanderers were clearly unaware of this news and looked visibly shocked.

Shangguan Shiming’s slender frame trembled as well.

Rei of the Vassa Temple’s Sanctuary, who was revered as a supreme being, was someone even they, as Worldly Wanderers, had to be wary of.

In today’s world, there were three places that even the Worldly Wanderers from the Ancient Land Sects had to tread carefully.

The first was the headquarters of the Dragon Protection Hall. The Dragon Protection Hall possessed the Hall Towns Artifact and had accumulated a vast amount of dynastic fortune over the past millennium. Its destructive power was immense. Even a Foundation Building Immortal at full power might not be able to withstand it.

The second was the former Western Deity Race. The Lord of All Deities from the Western Deity Race, armed with the Zeus Tri-God Artifact, could combat a Foundation Building Immortal, which made the Ancient Land Sects wary. However, a hundred years ago, the Lord of All Deities traveled west to the Pyramid Nation and was killed by Rei, leaving the Three Sacred Treasures without a master. Thus, this second place was struck from the list.

The third was the very Temple Sanctuary where Rei, the killer of the Lord of All Deities, had resided. Rei’s Judgment Balance was unstoppable; even a Foundation Building Immortal, facing its judgment of good and evil, could hardly escape death.

Cultivators, by their very nature, defy the heavens, with notions of good and evil residing solely within their own hearts. A truly benevolent person would likely never achieve a profound cultivation level, as they would probably be schemed against and killed by their peers while their cultivation was still weak.

For Lin Wudi to have killed Rei in the Divine Temple… the idea seemed unthinkable to Shangguan Shiming. Could it be that Lin Wudi is actually a truly benevolent person? She herself didn’t believe it. Hundreds of Martial Artists have died at Lin Wudi’s hands, haven’t they? For such a person to withstand the Judgment Balance and kill Rei…

The implications made Shangguan Shiming shudder. She wanted even less to do with the affairs of Nan Weiwo and his group.

”Gentlemen, I will not participate,” she said, turning to leave.

Nan Weiwo’s figure flickered, blocking her path.

”Nan Weiwo, what is the meaning of this? Are you planning to attack me?” Shangguan Shiming’s voice was icy.

Nan Weiwo chuckled. ”Master Shangguan, you misunderstand. We all belong to the Ancient Land Sects. How could I possibly attack you and break the rules?”

”Then what do you want?” Shangguan Shiming stood her ground.

Nan Weiwo smiled. ”I just wish to borrow something from Master Shangguan.”

Shangguan Shiming watched him warily.

Nan Weiwo pointed to Changbai Mountain’s Heavenly Lake. ”Does Master Shangguan know what this place is?” Without waiting for an answer, he continued, ”This is an entrance to a Minor World.”

At this revelation, Shangguan Shiming’s face paled in shock.

A Minor World… The Ancient Land that housed her own North Dipper Celestial Pavilion was a Minor World itself. And Nan Weiwo was claiming this was an entrance to another one… This…

”Isn’t Master Shangguan curious why, knowing this is a Minor World, we haven’t entered?”

Shangguan Shiming remained silent.

Nan Weiwo said, ”I believe Master Shangguan should be aware of the disaster that occurred eighty years ago.”

Eighty years ago, the Worldly Wanderers of the Ancient Land Sects met with a great calamity. That year, of the eight Worldly Wanderers abroad, six died mysteriously. The two who survived were gravely injured and perished soon after. Following that, the Ancient Land Sects dispatched no more Worldly Wanderers for ten years, only resuming after the world had stabilized and a new nation was established. Of course, Shangguan Shiming knew of this disaster; it was the first lesson taught to all prospective Worldly Wanderers.

”Actually,” Nan Weiwo declared, ”those Worldly Wanderers didn’t die in the chaos of war. They died within this Heavenly Lake Minor World of Changbai Mountain!”

His words nearly made Shangguan Shiming lose her composure.

”It’s just as you’re thinking, Master Shangguan. The two survivors killed the other six, used their essence blood as a sacrifice, and opened the Minor World Gate.”

Shangguan Shiming shot back rapidly, her voice sharp. ”Are you all mad? You plan to do the same to me!”

Nan Weiwo took a few steps back, looking exasperated. ”Master Shangguan, you misunderstand. If we truly intended to harm you, we wouldn’t have told you all this.”

She glanced at the others; they didn’t seem to be lying.

”A few days ago, at Changbai Mountain, Lin Wudi killed dozens of Elders from the Martial Alliance and even a Foundation Building Immortal. Their essence blood is more than enough to open the gate to the Minor World,” Nan Weiwo explained with a smile. ”What we lack now is the key: the Ancient Land Token in your possession, Master Shangguan.”

Her pupils contracted. Shangguan Shiming suddenly remembered that the sects of the six Worldly Wanderers who had died eighty years ago were the very same six whose representatives, including herself, were gathered at the Heavenly Lake right now.

”What exactly is inside this Minor World?” she couldn’t help but ask.

”A Demonic Beast capable of slaying Foundation Building Immortals!” Nan Weiwo’s eyes flashed dangerously. ”In the seventy years since that disaster, the Ancient Land Sects have entered this Minor World twice. The first time, a Qi Cultivation Level Nine led the team, and they were all annihilated. The second time, a Foundation Building Immortal led the team, and still, no one survived.”

”So, what we must do is open the gate to the Minor World and await Lin Wudi’s arrival!” He finished, a mocking smile curving his lips.

Shangguan Shiming was silent.

Nan Weiwo was truly worthy of his title as the Worldly Wanderer of the Sword Control Sect; he was ruthlessly cunning. He had seen through Lin Wudi’s mindset. Now, Lin Wudi was the living legend, the number one person in the world. When a Minor World appeared in the secular world, a man with his temperament would definitely choose to enter in search of treasures. Then, his death would be certain. She had never expected that Nan Weiwo and the others had truly devised a plan that could ambush and kill Lin Wudi. Kill Lin Wudi?

A scar on her arm throbbed painfully.

Gritting her teeth, Shangguan Shiming declared, ”I will not be involved in this!”

With that, her figure swept backward, flying toward the foot of the mountain.

”You’ve heard our secret and still think you can leave? Seize her!”

The five of them, Nan Weiwo included, attacked at once with thunderous momentum.

An angry and resentful voice echoed out.

”By opposing Lin Wudi, you will all die a miserable death!”
