Yang Qi and the other two did not know that although the Quetzalcoatl Palace had temporarily given up the idea of dealing with them, they had not given up and were planning to kill someone else with a borrowed knife.
Traveling through time and space, Yang Qi and the other two soon left the territory controlled by the Quetzalcoatl Palace and returned to the star field controlled by Emperor Ji He. Because of the consumption in the previous battle, Yang Qi and the other two took a short rest here. While they were resting, those ordinary Martial Emperor realm practitioners had already gone to the territory controlled by the Immortal Temple for inspection.
In the territory controlled by the four major forces, it is not convenient for the Immortal Temple to show up directly, so it is just a cultivation force that is secretly supported in the open. However, even so, this cultivation force should not be underestimated.
Especially, there is a strong man at the peak level of Martial Emperor sitting behind him. You should know that the Immortal Temple is scattered throughout the endless universe, but in fact there are not many areas with a peak Martial Emperor sitting in charge. The fact that Tianhai Realm can have a strong man at the peak level of Martial Emperor sitting in charge shows how much importance the Immortal Temple attaches to Tianhai Realm.
In an ordinary hall, Yang Qi and the other two, who had fully recovered, gathered together to discuss their next move.
"Next, we will head to the territory controlled by the Immortal Temple." Emperor Wu Shi said here and looked at Emperor Ji Yan who was standing beside him.
Although the Immortal Temple is spread all over the endless universe, it has actually been hiding in the dark, rarely controlling a certain cultivation force, and blatantly occupying a territory. After all, the Source Saint Church has a lot of bounties on the Immortal Temple practitioners. If they stand in the open so blatantly, aren't they afraid that the strong men of the Source Saint Church will come to exorcise the demons
However, in the star field of Tianhai Realm, the cultivation forces secretly controlled by the Immortal Temple have actually come out into the open, and this fact has even spread in the nearby star fields. This is an extremely rare situation.
It is precisely because of this that when talking about the Immortal Temple, Emperor Wu Shi looked at Emperor Ji Yan curiously. Obviously, the situation of the Immortal Temple in the Tianhai Realm was probably a little special.
“Fellow Daoist Ji Yan, how dare the Immortal Temple come out so blatantly?” Yang Qi looked at Emperor Ji Yan standing aside and asked the doubts in his mind.
Emperor Ji Yan felt the gazes of Yang Qi and the others, but he did not hide anything and explained directly, "The situation in Tianhai Realm is quite special. It is the buffer zone between the two masters of the alien universe and even the two major races. That's why the Immortal Temple dared to stand out so blatantly. Of course, this blatantness is actually relative. The real strong men of the Immortal Temple did not actually stand out."
That’s right, although the Immortal Temple controlled a cultivation force, in fact, that cultivation force did not have any Immortal Temple practitioners with extremely obvious characteristics. Just judging from the practitioners in that cultivation force itself, it seemed to be just an ordinary cultivation force.
It was just that the Immortal Temple was behind this cultivation force, which was already a well-known fact in the nearby star fields. That was why they directly regarded that cultivation force as the Immortal Temple's force. In fact, this cultivation force was at least covered with a fig leaf. Even the Source Saint Church did not directly offer a bounty mission for that cultivation force.
This is why, even though they know that the Immortal Temple is behind that cultivation force, very few cultivators actually accept bounties on the Immortal Temple cultivators behind it. Generally, cultivators accept bounties to deal with a few Immortal Temple cultivators, but now they have to deal with an Immortal Temple that controls a star field and hides in the dark, which is extremely difficult.
The most important thing is that there are peak Martial Emperors from the Immortal Temple in charge of that area. For ordinary practitioners to accept bounty missions offered by the Immortal Temple practitioners would be like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth.
It is precisely because of these reasons that, knowing that the Immortal Temple is behind that cultivation force, the other party is still able to survive to the present day.
"As for why the Immortal Temple chose to build such a powerful base in the Tianhai Realm, I once asked the ancestor. From the ancestor, I learned that the Immortal Temple seemed to be using the conflict and war between the two major ethnic groups to collect some special resources." Emperor Ji Yan paused for a moment and continued, "But the ancestor did not tell me what it was, so I am not particularly clear."
Hearing what Emperor Ji Yan said, Yang Qi and Emperor Wu Shi could not help but nod their heads. If there was no benefit, how could the Immortal Temple take the risk and even send a cultivator at the peak level of Martial Emperor to take charge of the Tianhai Realm.
Although Yang Qi and Emperor Wu Shi had fought against the Immortal Temple many times, they didn't know much about it. After all, the Immortal Temple was very secretive, and the only ones who really knew the secrets of the Immortal Temple were probably the Lords of the Universe. However, the Lords of the Universe didn't seem to want to talk too much about the Immortal Temple.
Emperor Ji Yan seemed to remember something and suddenly said, "Speaking of which, when I was young, I had several conflicts with the Immortal Temple. So if we go to the area controlled by the Immortal Temple, we must be careful."
Hearing what Emperor Ji Yan said, Yang Qi and Emperor Wu Shi were stunned at first, then looked at each other, chuckled and said, "We also have a great grudge against the Immortal Temple."
Not to mention the hatred between Yang Qi and Emperor Wu Shi and the Immortal Temple, not long ago, a member of the demon clan died because he coveted the Earth lineage. He was a cultivator in the late stage of the Nine-Star Martial Emperor, and his strength was not weaker than that of the Emperor Ji Yan in front of him. The death of such a cultivator would probably make the top leaders of the Immortal Temple very angry.
If we only talk about the size of the hatred, the hatred between Yang Qi and Emperor Wu Shi and the Immortal Temple is probably even greater than that between Emperor Ji Yan and the Immortal Temple.
"You also have a grudge against the Immortal Temple?" Emperor Ji Yan's face flashed with surprise, but he quickly recovered. "There is no need to worry too much about the Immortal Temple. After all, the Immortal Temple's power is too dispersed. It is not as easy to seek support as the Teng Snake Clan and our lineage. So as long as they don't intend to give up the Tianhai Realm, they will definitely not dare to directly have a major conflict with the Teng Snake Clan and our lineage."
The Immortal Temple is indeed powerful, and its own strength is also extremely strong. Even the Lord of the Alien Universe will not easily provoke them, but similarly, the Immortal Temple will not easily provoke the Lord of the Alien Universe. This can be seen from the fact that there is almost no Immortal Temple in the territory controlled by the Lord of the Alien Universe, because they dare not provoke the Lord of the Alien Universe near his lair.
