Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 851: Revised: Chapter 461 A Meeting of Storms! (8k5)_3

“Above, haha.”

At this moment, someone sneered and said, “That Chen Mu has returned to Cold North, and now the higher-ups are probably in a frenzy. How can they have the time to deal with matters below? If a conflict breaks out with Chen Mu, the Imperial Court might even ask for our help from Heavenly Strategy Estate.”

Everyone present, upon hearing this, showed varied expressions.

“Watch your words!”

An elderly person sitting at the head upon hearing this immediately turned his gaze serious and reprimanded.

The new and old grudges between Chen Mu and the new Emperor, as well as the factions like Mysterious Mechanism Pavilion and Blood Hidden Pavilion which have now infiltrated the Imperial Court, are known to all. However, such words are clearly inappropriate to speak openly, even here at the Heavenly Strategy Estate headquarters, among elder-level figures and heads of various sects.

After all.

The past King Han, Ji Xuanfei, has firmly secured his position. Even though the realm is divided into nine parts, Ji Xuanfei is the Emperor Lord of the Eleven State Capital Territory. Speaking recklessly could lead to significant trouble if word reaches his ears.

Upon hearing the elderly man’s reproach, the head of the Heavenly Strategy Estate who had sneered fell silent, realizing his mistake.

However.

Just as the crowd was about to continue discussing how to deal with Golden Spear Sect, the Heavenly Strategy Estate Great Elder Gui Yuan, sitting at the head, suddenly changed his expression and stood up abruptly, looking toward a certain direction outside the window.

The other grandmasters and heads also noticed Gui Yuan’s reaction, their expressions subtly changing as they looked toward the same direction.

Then.

The faces of the many grandmasters and heads present began to change as well.

“This is…”

Someone’s pupils slightly contracted, then they stepped out, suddenly arriving outside the house, standing in the courtyard, and looking up at the distant sky, feeling the power of heaven and earth under the blue heavens, surging like ocean waves.

As time passed, they saw a golden pillar of light crossing the sky, like a brilliant meteor, flashing across the horizon at an incredible speed, leaving a white trail in the sky.

“What terrifying speed, who could this be, crossing boundaries without restraint!”

Someone exclaimed, appearing shocked.

Everyone present were marrow-cleansing grandmasters; even though far away, they could sense the terrifying aura. The streak of light across the sky seemed to make way for it, something that no ordinary master could achieve, even those in the Blood Exchange Realm elder level could not possess such fearsome momentum.

“Celestial Master crossing boundaries?!”

At this moment, Great Elder Gui Yuan also slightly contracted his pupils.

Looking at the ninety-nine states, those who have reached the Celestial Human level are fewer than twenty; Heavenly Strategy Estate, founded nearly 200 years ago, has never had a head step into the Heavenly Realm.

A Celestial Master crossing boundaries, sweeping across the heavens, is not a trivial matter.

As the crowd’s expressions changed and the names of Celestial Masters crossed their minds, contemplating which one it could be, an elderly figure in a hemp robe appeared before them unknowingly.

Seeing this elderly figure appear, the numerous grandmasters and heads all paused respectfully and bowed.

“Former head!”

The person who appeared was none other than the former head of Heavenly Strategy Estate, a powerful figure in the Blood Exchange Realm.

At this moment.

The former head’s expression was grave, his gaze stern, standing at the forefront, looking toward the distant sky. After a moment of contemplation, he took a deep breath and slowly said, “It’s not a Celestial Master crossing boundaries.”

“Though the heavens make way, the person is using power to clear the path, not controlling the heavens, indicating they have not yet stepped into the Heavenly Realm. In today’s world, one who can make the heavens clear a path without being a Celestial Master, is likely none other than the one from Cold North.”

With these words.

The many grandmasters and heads of Heavenly Strategy Estate were momentarily stunned, then their expressions changed.

The one from Cold North — who could it be?

Among those present, and looking at the top masters in the land, everyone knew: Seven Profound Sect, Chen Mu!

No one doubted the former head’s judgment; the streak of light just seen was indeed Chen Mu of Seven Profound Sect, having returned to Da Xuan only a few days ago, now appearing suddenly in Liu State.

No.

The destination was not Liu State, given the direction, it was clearly the center of Capital Territory, Da Xuan’s Central Prefecture!

Chen Mu heading to Central Prefecture!

Realizing this, many grandmasters and heads took a deep breath, exchanged glances, and saw the shock in each other’s eyes. At this juncture, Chen Mu going to Central Prefecture was unlikely to just be a casual visit… nearly everyone had a premonition that a significant event was about to occur!

“Followers of Heavenly Strategy Estate, heed my command!”

The former head turned abruptly, speaking solemnly, “Heavenly Strategy Estate is to be sealed today, gather the disciples, before my return, no one is to leave the estate lightly, guard the estate to handle emergencies!”

“Yes.”

Great Elder Gui Yuan and everyone present responded in unison.

With these words, the former head, leaning on his cane, stepped forward, instantly disappearing from the estate. His direction was precisely the center of the ninety-nine states, Central Prefecture!

…

Similar scenes were happening all over Liu State.

Haoran Sect, Green Lotus Sect, Golden Spear Sect…

No matter whether they were outside sects stationed here or local powers of Liu State, within a short time, the entire area was in shock. Numerous figures stepped out of their sect residences, some hidden in form, some quietly flying in the sky, all moving swiftly.
