The cultivation force under the command of the Holy Lord Mingyu in the Tianhai Realm is called the Feathered Serpent Palace, which controls the nearby star fields. In addition to the peak martial emperor cultivator hidden behind, the palace master and several deputy palace masters are all late-stage nine-star martial emperor cultivators. Emperor Teng Zhong is a deputy palace master of the Feathered Serpent Palace.
In a training room in Quetzalcoatl Palace, a man in fancy clothes who was practicing in seclusion suddenly changed his expression, and then suddenly opened his eyes.
"This is… "
The man in fancy clothes looked serious, and then asked in a deep voice, "Did Emperor Tengzhong get into trouble?"
The man in gorgeous clothes in front of him was none other than the Palace Master of Quetzalcoatl Palace. He usually worked with Emperor Teng Zhong and his causal connection with Emperor Teng Zhong was not weak. Therefore, he was the first to notice the death of Emperor Teng Zhong.
Without any hesitation, the man in gorgeous clothes immediately ended his retreat. Just as he came out of retreat, he received a message from the other two deputy palace masters. The content of the message was exactly the news about the death of Emperor Teng Zhong.
The man in gorgeous clothes immediately sent a message to the two deputy palace masters, asking them to come to his cave to discuss the death of Emperor Teng Zhong.
A tall cultivator looked at the Feathered Serpent Palace Master who was holding his hands, and said solemnly, "Palace Master, before Emperor Teng Zhong died, a cultivator in the palace received his message for help, so he contacted me, but I was in seclusion at the time and did not learn about it immediately."
"My subordinates have also received a message from Emperor Teng Zhong." Another deputy palace master also spoke.
Um
Upon hearing this, the Palace Master of Quetzalcoatl Palace was slightly stunned. His lineage had not received any call for help from Emperor Teng Zhong, but after just a little thought, he understood the reason.
As the Palace Master of Quetzalcoatl Palace, his status and position are relatively higher. Unless Emperor Teng Zhong encounters some desperate situation, it is unlikely that he will ask him for help directly.
This shows that when Emperor Teng Zhong sent a message asking for help, he must have believed that even if his strength was no match for his opponent, his life would not be in danger for the time being. Otherwise, Emperor Teng Zhong would definitely ask for help from him first, or even the peak Martial Emperor in charge of the Quetzalcoatl Palace.
"This emperor's lineage has not received any message from Emperor Teng Zhong." The head of the Feathered Serpent Palace paused for a moment before continuing, "In that case, the cultivator who attacked Emperor Teng Zhong should not be at the peak of the Martial Emperor level."
A being at the peak level of Martial Emperor is definitely not something that Emperor Teng Zhong can contend with. Once he encounters a being at that level, Emperor Teng Zhong will definitely send a message to him first, or even to a peak Martial Emperor in the palace, for help.
Hearing the words of the Palace Master of Quetzalcoatl Palace, the two deputy Palace Masters beside him could not help but nodded. The strength of the two of them was almost the same as that of Emperor Teng Zhong. If they were to encounter a strong man at the peak level of Martial Emperor, they would definitely ask the Palace Master for help first, asking for help from the peak Martial Emperor, rather than asking for help from the two of them who were late-stage Nine-Star Martial Emperors.
From this point of view, Emperor Teng Zhong did not think that he was in much danger, at least in the early stages of the fight.
“If it’s a cultivator below the peak of Martial Emperor, it wouldn’t be easy to kill Emperor Teng Zhong so quickly.” The tall man said in a deep voice.
Emperor Teng Zhong was a veteran late-stage Nine-Star Martial Emperor. Even if he faced two late-stage Nine-Star Martial Emperors, relying on the speed of the Teng Snake Clan, it was not impossible for him to save his life even if he was defeated. But if he faced more than two late-stage Nine-Star Martial Emperors, Emperor Teng Zhong would probably not just ask for help from the two of them. Even if he didn't ask for help from the peak Martial Emperor, he would definitely send a message to the Palace Master.
"Perhaps he fell into a trap." The head of the Feathered Serpent Palace raised his eyebrows and then asked, "See if there are any clues from the cultivators of the Emperor Tengzhong's lineage."
Upon hearing this, the two deputy palace masters immediately nodded and began to send messages to inquire about the practitioners of Emperor Teng Zhong's lineage. The two soon received the information reported by the practitioners under their command.
"Palace Master, there is news." The tall man looked at the Palace Master of Quetzalcoatl Palace in front of him and continued, "According to the intelligence..."
After listening to the tall man's narration, the head of the Feathered Serpent Palace raised his eyebrows slightly, "The son of Emperor Tengzhong has died? Before Emperor Tengzhong died, he went to investigate the three practitioners, and then there was no news?"
No wonder Emperor Teng Zhong did not inform the clan beforehand, because the death of Emperor Teng Zhong's son could be said to be Emperor Teng Zhong's private matter. In addition, Emperor Teng Zhong was at the late stage of the Nine-Star Martial Emperor, so he was probably confident in avenging his son. He just didn't expect the enemy to be stronger, so he was killed by the enemy!
"Could it be that they are three Nine-Star Martial Emperor practitioners in the late stage?" The Lord of Quetzalcoatl Palace frowned slightly. Normally, Emperor Teng Zhong should be aware that he is no match for three practitioners of the same realm. However, facing the hatred of killing his son, Emperor Teng Zhong might be blinded by hatred and make a wrong decision.
After all, Emperor Teng Zhong had already sent a message for help in advance. With his strength, if the rescue was sent in time, he would have a chance to hold on until the rescue arrived.
However, at the level of the late Nine-Star Martial Emperor, they were all preparing to reach the peak of the Martial Emperor. They usually practiced in seclusion. If it was not something particularly important, it would be almost impossible for them to come out immediately. This was also the reason why the two deputy palace masters did not rush to rescue immediately after Emperor Tengzhong sent a letter asking for help.
Because they were all in seclusion, they did not receive any message from Emperor Teng Zhong. By the time they sensed the demise of Emperor Teng Zhong, it was already too late.
The head of the Feathered Serpent Palace had a serious expression, and said in a deep voice, "Those three practitioners are likely to be late-stage Nine-Star Martial Emperors. Three late-stage Nine-Star Martial Emperors appeared in the territory we control. First they killed the son of Emperor Teng Zhong, and then killed Emperor Teng Zhong. It is possible that they came for our Feathered Serpent Palace."
The suspicion of the Lord of the Feathered Serpent Palace was not without reason. Emperor Teng Zhong had only one son, and he would definitely not let it go if his own offspring died. Therefore, it was very likely that he would kill Emperor Teng Zhong's son and lure out Emperor Teng Zhong.
If this is true, then the three practitioners are most likely coming for the Quetzalcoatl Palace.
The tall man raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "The one who came towards our Feathered Serpent Palace, could it be that the cultivators from the Saint Lord of Silence are the ones who attacked us?"
In the Tianhai Realm, or even in the nearby star fields, there are only two cultivation forces that can send so many late-stage Nine-Star Martial Emperor practitioners and dare to attack the Feathered Serpent Palace. Either the Immortal Temple or the cultivators of the lineage of the Lord of Extinction, as for the cultivation forces native to the Tianhai Realm, they can almost be ruled out directly.
