Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 132: Frustration!

"Is this a representative from the World King Palace?"

Whether it was the Sword Ancestor or Martial Ancestor sects, the moment they recognized the newcomer’s identity, their solemn expressions were replaced with respectful ones.

"Greetings, Supreme One!" a thunderous voice erupted.

Everyone on the scene clasped their hands and bowed to the middle-aged man above.

In the Wilderness Region of the Mysterious Heavenly Realm, the Sword Ancestor and Martial Ancestor sects could be considered the primary powers. But to the World King Palace, they were nothing more than ants. To be precise, the World King Palace controlled the very rules of the Mysterious Heavenly Realm. The heights that the Sword Ancestor and Martial Ancestor sects had reached today would have been impossible without the support of the World King Palace.

Meanwhile, Long Chen used his peripheral vision to size up the imposing middle-aged man above. Just now, Chu Zhentian’s powerful blow was so easily neutralized by him. He must be at least at the Warlord Realm! I never expected to have the chance to meet such a powerful expert today.

The middle-aged man cast a cold glance over the crowd below and spoke in a chilly voice, "It seems our World King Palace has been too lax. You all must think the rules we set are just empty words."

Upon hearing this, the faces of everyone from both the Sword Ancestor and Martial Ancestor sects changed drastically.

An Zhun narrowed his eyes slightly and was the first to speak. "Supreme One, this was not our sect’s intention. It was these people from the Martial Ancestor sect who attacked us first. We of the Sword Ancestor sect were helpless and were forced to counterattack. Surely you wouldn’t expect me to just stand there and let them attack us, could you?"

"Hmm?" Li Sheng’s icy gaze fell upon the group from the Martial Ancestor sect.

Seeing this, the members of the Martial Ancestor sect frowned, their expressions darkening. These people from the Sword Ancestor sect are utterly shameless! They were the ones who acted despicably first, yet now they shift all the blame in front of the man from the World King Palace. This is shamelessness to the extreme! For an entire sect’s conduct to be so foul, it truly proves the saying: when the upper beam is crooked, the lower ones will be warped.

Chu Zhentian spoke up to explain, "I implore you to investigate this thoroughly! The people from the Sword Ancestor sect first assassinated our Disciples of Martial Sect. Of ten disciples who went out on a mission, only three were lucky enough to survive. As for the other seven, they all died at the hands of the Sword Ancestor sect. We of the Martial Ancestor sect must have justice for this blood debt! Otherwise, how could we ever face our fallen disciples?"

Hearing this, Li Sheng glanced at An Zhun and his people again.

An Zhun’s heart leaped in panic, and he said hastily, "A misunderstanding! This is definitely a misunderstanding! Although the Sword Ancestor and Martial Ancestor sects have often contended in the past, we of the Sword Ancestor sect have always acted with integrity. We wouldn’t go to such lengths just to kill a junior. I implore you..."

"Nonsense!" Chu Zhentian immediately roared before An Zhun could finish. "You have the gall to do it, but not to admit it?"

Seeing the two sects about to argue further, Li Sheng shouted in a stern voice, "Enough! All of you, be quiet!"

At his command, the entire scene fell into a dead silence.

Li Sheng looked toward the Martial Ancestor sect and spoke indifferently, "Chu Zhentian, take your men and leave this place!"

"But..."

Just as Chu Zhentian was about to say something, Li Sheng cut him off. "There are no ’buts.’ I’ll say it again: if you dare disobey an order from the World King Palace, I won’t hesitate to report this to my superiors and have the Martial Ancestor sect completely annihilated."

After hearing these words, Chu Zhentian’s expression turned ugly, and the hands behind his back clenched into tight fists.

"Father!" Chu Lingjun called out, shaking her head at him. She did not want the entire Martial Ancestor sect to fall into jeopardy either.

Finally, Chu Zhentian suppressed the resentment in his heart and slowly relaxed his hands. His Martial Ancestor sect might not fear the Sword Ancestor sect, but faced with the colossus that was the World King Palace, they simply could not afford to offend them. The other Disciples of Martial Sect also remained silent.

Seeing this, the members of the Sword Ancestor sect all revealed cold smirks. They knew that with the World King Palace on their side, even if the Martial Ancestor sect had the will to act, they didn’t have the courage.

After confirming that the people from the Martial Ancestor sect wouldn’t dare to act recklessly, Li Sheng finally spoke again. "The Demon Pursuit Conference is approaching. Both of your sects should prepare well. You must suppress Nine Demons Mountain! This time, our World King Palace is also widely recruiting promising talent. Therefore, anyone who performs outstandingly at the Demon Pursuit Conference will have the opportunity to join the World King Palace."

As soon as he said this, the eyes of everyone from both the Martial Ancestor and Sword Ancestor sects lit up. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If one could enter the World King Palace, they would gain access to the best cultivation resources and rapidly increase their strength.

Beyond the personal opportunity, it also concerned the future of their sects. If someone from their sect could join the World King Palace, it would greatly boost the sect’s overall strength, and they would receive special consideration from the World King Palace. Such benefits were the kind one could only encounter by chance, not actively seek out.

"Understood!" An Zhun immediately said fawningly. "Rest assured, Supreme One. The Sword Ancestor sect will give its all and will not disappoint you!"

Chu Zhentian gave a slight bow to show he understood.

"Since that is settled, the Martial Ancestor sect may disperse. Let today’s matter be concluded."

With that, Li Sheng turned around as a rift appeared before him. He stepped inside and vanished.

An Zhun and the others from the Sword Ancestor sect looked at Chu Zhentian’s group triumphantly and taunted, "Brother Chu, I told you, what was all this for? You put on such a grand display, only to have to turn tail and go back obediently, didn’t you?"
