Half an hour later, Fang Zong answered the summons and came.
Having advanced to the Great Venerable of the Earth, Fang Zong's status rose considerably. He ranked among the top eighty in the Blackwater Palace's main hall, yet he was the only one there.
"Greetings, Your Majesty the Palace Master."
Fang Zong bowed towards the center of the hall.
As the voice faded, the figure of the Blackwater Palace Master appeared in the hall. He was handsome and elegant, seemingly a refined gentleman from the turbid world, yet he possessed terrifying power that could affect the entire four-star region.
The Thousand-Eyed Great Venerable also manifested his form and sat down next to the Palace Master.
"Great Venerable Zhaixing, your subordinates are quite impressive." The Blackwater Palace Master rarely praised others, and asked with a smile, "You're already so capable with just two subordinates, so what about Murong Zhen, whom you care about the most? Let him stay and work for our Blackwater Palace."
"Okay," Fang Zong readily agreed.
Everyone has selfish motives. Fang Zong originally planned to use Murong Zhen as a stepping stone to gradually arrange a safe haven for his relatives. The Earth is relatively stable now, but if something goes wrong with him, who knows what will happen in ten years?
He simply wants his family to be safe.
The Blackwater Palace Master was very satisfied with Fang Zong's decisiveness and said, "I will take all the talents in your little world as well."
What? ! ! !
Fang Zong was greatly alarmed.
Just as his expression changed, a powerful pressure descended from the sky. The Blackwater Palace Master looked at him with a smile, but his body emanated fine ripples, like a shattered mirror being washed away, or like the sky collapsing and the earth splitting, with an apocalyptic pressure crushing him.
That was a great terror, as if a demon had descended, its giant claws gripping the heart!
"Palace Master, my small world is rather barren. The only two I can boast of are Zhuge Liang and Su Qin. I hope the Palace Master..."
Fang Zong opened his mouth bitterly, but before he could finish speaking, the Thousand-Eyed Great Venerable suddenly interrupted him.
The Thousand-Eyed Grandmaster said in a low voice, "Little Zong, Zhuge Liang and Su Qin have caught the eye of many Ancient Grandmasters. My Blackwater Palace cannot keep them, so you should understand the meaning of Lord White. In addition, I hope you understand one thing—"
"I and the Palace Master entered the sect at the same time, fought and robbed together, and shared life and death. His will is my will."
Upon hearing this, Fang Zong's heart trembled violently.
Of course he understands.
On the path of cultivation, whether it's Earth in a small world, the region of a four-star sect, or even the supreme Eight Desolations and Sixteen Prefectures, the same principle applies.
On the path of cultivation, one either advances or regresses. If others advance while you remain stagnant, it is equivalent to falling behind! Therefore, when Zhuge Liang was favored by Bao Nu and Su Qin accepted the invitation from the Old Mother of the Moon, if the Blackwater Palace did not acquire a large number of talented individuals, it would be as if it had fallen far behind these two powerful Venerables.
Fang Zong was surprised by how well Zhuge Liang and Su Qin performed and inwardly groaned.
I thought it would take at least six months to successfully form an alliance, but it was done in just a few days. So, the skill level of our own people is really high, which is really torturous!
"Everything will be done according to the wishes of the Palace Master and the Thousand-Eyed Venerable. However, I have quite a few relatives and friends, so..."
Fang Zong laughed, and the Palace Master and the Thousand-Eyed Grand Venerable also relaxed, their oppressive aura instantly disappearing.
"Within a hundred people, it's up to you!"
The Blackwater Palace Master said in a particularly cheerful tone.
...
Even if dozens of Grand Venerables of the same level joined forces, it would still require a series of preparations to kill an Ancient-level Grand Venerable.
The preparations took place 6,000 li away from the bridal chamber outside the Blackwater Palace.
Dozens of ancient-level Grand Venerables descended, causing the world to change color and the sun and moon to lose their light. At this moment, the world was shrouded in darkness, but in the next instant, golden light burst forth, shooting into the Dipper Palace. The essence of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon were in complete chaos, yet they quickly transformed into order.
The true forms of the ancient-level Grand Venerables descended and gathered together to condense the Soul of the Extinction Dragon. Strangely, upon their arrival, they all found Fang Zong and scrutinized him with very peculiar looks.
"Fang Zong!"
Suddenly, someone shouted out.
Su Qin, accompanied by a graceful woman, pointed at Fang Zong in mid-air and began to berate him: "Ignorant brat, you actually agreed to the Blackwater Palace Master's request? Do you remember that when just a third-rate disciple of the Free and Unfettered Sect sent his divine sense, it caused chaos in our homeland? If the Blackwater Palace Master had used a higher-level Star Shuttle to transmit his divine sense, our homeland would have been destroyed instantly. No matter how strong his Palace Master is, how many people can he save?"
"A maximum of a thousand people," Fang Zong said expressionlessly.
"A thousand people?!?"
Su Qin's eyes widened, and he pointed at Fang Zong, trembling with anger.
Fang Zong smiled and said, "A thousand people are enough. Including Murong Zhen, whom I sent back, I only have about a hundred relatives and friends. Wouldn't it be better to leave nine hundred people for the Palace Master to select talents?"
"you……"
Su Qin was furious. He pointed at Fang Zong and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
He angrily stepped forward, but was pulled back by another person. Zhuge Liang, who appeared with a dark-faced giant, stopped Su Qin, smiled, and asked, "Even a rat has skin, but a man has no manners. If a man has no manners, what is the point of living?"
"You're calling me worse than a rat?"
"No, I'm too lazy to scold you."
Zhuge Liang let out a long sigh.
I really couldn't be bothered to scold Fang Zong; I just felt I had misjudged him.
Zhuge Liang remembered the events on Earth. Fang Zong confronted the League of Legends, gods, and monsters, managing to restore harmony to Earth, which was a mix of ghostly and spiritual energy. Later, he moved to the Great World, also striving for the existence of Earth.
But unexpectedly, not long after, Fang Zong was about to betray his hometown. The Blackwater Palace Master's divine sense descended on Earth, destroying tens of millions of miles of starry sky, including the lives of billions of compatriots!
