In the small world that Hua Xuan Dou had created, Ye Qing was still there but Hua Xuan Dou had not noticed him.
Ye Qing's Great Stealth Technique had come into play. According to the system's explanation, Hua Xuan Dou was only at the level of a Holy Emperor. As long as Ye Qing did not release his aura, Hua Xuan Dou would not be able to detect his presence.
In the small world, Master Murong's forehead was covered in cold sweat. With his intelligence, he had naturally guessed Hua Xuan Dou's motive.
He heard Hua Xuan Dou say with a smile, "Master Murong, this lady in your family is very talented. I intend to bring her to the Highest Profound Purity Palace and focus on nurturing her. She will follow me and become an in-name disciple of the Highest Profound Purity Palace!"
Hua Xuan Dou said slowly. In the small world, Master Murong's body trembled. The other party's offer was very tempting.
There were countless old monsters who were at the level of living fossils who wanted to fight for a spot in the Highest Profound Purity Palace but could not get it.
Now, Hua Xuan Dou had actually agreed to give Murong Yan a great opportunity.
"Master Murong, what do you think?" Hua Xuan Dou said with a smile.
Master Murong's body was covered in cold sweat. He knew that the benefits that Hua Xuan Dou promised would not come without a price!
The price that Murong Yan had to pay might be her freedom. If she followed Hua Xuan Dou to the Highest Profound Purity Palace in the Heaven Realm, then Murong Yan would probably be Hua Xuan Dou's vassal for the rest of her life and would even be bullied by him.
Although Hua Xuan Dou's offer seemed very tempting, in reality, Hua Xuan Dou's motive was self-evident!
Master Murong frowned. In his heart, he did not want to agree to Hua Xuan Dou's request.
However, as Hua Xuan Dou spoke, he released a powerful pressure that enveloped him. It was as if a hundred thousand mountains were crushing down, causing great pressure to Master Murong.
Master Murong knew very well that if Hua Xuan Dou wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as flipping his hand.
Murong Yan stood beside Master Murong. She looked flustered as she tugged at Master Murong's sleeve.
"Master, I don't want to go to the Highest Profound Purity Palace!" Murong Yan expressed her attitude.
She was intelligent and quick-witted. When she saw Hua Xuandu's evil eyes, she knew what he was thinking.
If she followed Hua Xuandu and went to the Supreme Profound Pure Palace, she would be a fish on the chopping board in the future.
Although the Supreme Profound Pure Palace meant more opportunities and a broader platform, Murong Yan could not accept sacrificing her lifelong happiness as the price.
"Hmm?
Little girl, you're still young. You probably don't know what the Supreme Profound Pure Palace means. Just let Patriarch Murong make the decision for you. You don't have to say anything. "
Hua Xuan Du said coldly. Cold light flashed in his eyes as he released an even more terrifying pressure that shrouded the Murong Family Head.
Master Murong smiled bitterly and slowly replied, "Senior Hua, you may not be aware of this but Murong Yan is already engaged. She can't leave the Middle Heaven Region as she pleases. Besides, her cultivation is still weak. I'm sure that she won't be able to pass the Path to Heaven."
As Master Murong spoke, cold sweat dripped down his forehead. His heart was trembling with fear. To be able to say such words was tantamount to taking the risk of offending Hua Xuandu.
"Master Murong, what are you talking about?
An engagement between monkeys doesn't count. Besides, with Murong Yan's talent, as long as I think it's possible, she can pass the Path to Heaven and head to the Heaven realm!
I have the final say in everything! "
Hua Xuandu was incomparably overbearing. The greed in his eyes grew even more intense. It seems that he has made up his mind to take Murong Yan away.
Patriarch Murong smiled bitterly and felt helpless. He gathered his courage and took a step forward. "Senior Hua, you may not know this, but my daughter is already engaged. If she wants to follow you to the Taishang Xuan Pure Palace, please give us some time to cancel the engagement before that."
Hua Xuandu pondered for a moment when he heard this. He then nodded and replied flatly, "Alright, I'll give you some time. In a month's time, the Path to Heaven will open. When that time comes, you must send Murong Yan to my side. This is an opportunity that cannot be missed. The opportunity to cultivate in the Supreme Profound Pure Palace is not something that just anyone can have!
Master Murong, do you understand what I mean? "
Hua Xuandu said in a low voice. His words carried a strong Spiritual Impact, causing Master Murong's Spiritual Soul to tremble and his face to turn pale.
Even though Master Murong was a Sage Emperor, he felt extremely uncomfortable and had a splitting headache when he was hit by Hua Xuandu's Spiritual Impact.
Under Hua Xuandu's strong pressure, Master Murong nodded repeatedly. There was really no other way.
However, Master Murong still managed to buy some time for Murong Yan.
There was still a month before the Path to Heaven would open. Murong Yan's fate would depend on her luck.
Master Murong thought highly of Ye Qing. Recently, he was aware of all the things that Ye Qing had done in the Five Domains.
Refining a Second Revolution Sacred Weapon, killing the Sage Emperor Shrouding Heaven's clone, and even killing the Sect Leader of the Sky Severing Sect. Everything that Ye Qing had done was so shocking.
In Master Murong's opinion, the best candidate for Murong Yan's marriage was Ye Qing.
In fact, Murong Yan's appearance was the first to be seen by Ye Qing.
Murong Yan, who cultivated the Illusionary God Technique, had a dream-like appearance, like a goddess in a dream.
According to the Murong family's tradition, if a woman who cultivated the Illusionary God Technique had her true appearance seen, she must be betrothed to the man who saw her first.
In the past, in the Dark Moon Ruins, Murong Yan lost to Ye Qing in terms of music and her true appearance was exposed. At that time, she and Ye Qing had a karmic connection.
Master Murong obviously knew about the matter between Murong Yan and Ye Qing. Last time, when Ye Qing had just left the Dark Moon Ruins, he had been chased by many Sage Emperors.
At that time, Master Murong had been observing and had no intention of helping.
But because of Murong Yan's pleas, Master Murong finally agreed to help.
Master Murong valued Ye Qing's potential and believed that Ye Qing was the most likely person in the Five Domains to step into the Heavenly Realm and become a Sage Emperor.
However, Master Murong felt a deep sense of powerlessness in the face of the Heavenly Realm's emissary, Hua Xuandu. At the same time, he did not think that Ye Qing could contend against the Heavenly Realm's emissary.
Master Murong had tried his best to fight for a month's time. He did not dare to reject Hua Xuandu's request because it could lead to the extinction of the entire Murong family!
It was not a joke. Even if the Murong family had a heritage of hundreds of thousands of years and had a deep foundation, they still could not contend against the Heavenly Realm's emissary, Hua Xuandu!
The difference between the Sage Emperor realm and those above it was like the difference between heaven and earth. It was like the difference between heaven and earth, insurmountable.
Rumor had it that crossing the Sage Emperor realm was truly a step into the heavens!
