A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 198

Chapter 198: Leave It to Wu Yifan to Resolve

On the way, Wu Hao could clearly see that Li Pangtian was deep in thought, his face showing signs of hesitation and conflict. However, he ultimately didn’t voice his concerns, believing that Li Pangtian would speak up when the time came.

Meanwhile, within the Ancient Desolation Holy Land, as Li Pangtian was about to bring Wu Hao to visit, he informed the Elders of the Ancient Desolation Holy Land about this matter. However, he did not disclose Wu Hao’s identity, only stating that Wu Hao was an exceptionally noble guest and instructed them to prepare accordingly.

“Everyone, get ready; shortly, the Holy Lord will bring back a guest by the surname Wu. The Holy Lord has never acted recklessly, so since he has made such a statement, it’s likely that this guest is of very high status. We must not offend him,” said the Great Elder Lu Jiuyuan, looking seriously at the high-ranking members of the Ancient Desolation Holy Land.

The Elders naturally understood the seriousness of the situation and nodded in agreement. Just then, Lu Jiuyuan sensed something and looked towards a spot not far from the Ancient Desolation Holy Land and said, “The Holy Lord has returned.”

At the same time, not far from the Ancient Desolation Holy Land, Li Pangtian was smiling and speaking to Wu Hao.

“Senior Wu, we have arrived at my Ancient Desolation Holy Land. Please make yourself at home as if it were your own house.”

“Oh, is that so? In that case, may I invite you all out?”

“Uh…”

Li Pangtian instantly froze in place. Wait, he was just being polite; why was Wu Hao taking him seriously? But fortunately, Wu Hao clearly didn’t have that intention, as the Ancient Desolation Holy Land really couldn’t compare to Penglai Immortal Island.

“Alright, I was just joking; besides, your Ancient Desolation Holy Land is no match for my home.”

Hearing Wu Hao’s words, Li Pangtian finally felt relieved. He had genuinely worried that Wu Hao might forcibly claim the Ancient Desolation Holy Land. However, inexplicably, upon hearing the latter part of that statement, he felt a bit hurt.

The Ancient Desolation Holy Land was one of the premier terrains in the Upper Realm; even the terrains of the other Four Great Sacred Lands couldn’t compare, yet it seemed completely overshadowed by Wu Hao’s Penglai Immortal Island.

Before Li Pangtian could speak, the next moment, Lu Jiuyuan led the Elders of the Ancient Desolation Holy Land to appear in front of Wu Hao. Upon seeing Wu Hao, they froze for a moment, but quickly composed themselves and respectfully addressed Wu Hao.

“Welcome, Senior Wu, to our Ancient Desolation Holy Land.”

“That’s enough; there’s no need for such a grand affair. I won’t be staying long anyway.”

Wu Hao waved his hand, his expression extremely calm, as if accustomed to scenes like this. After all, the stronger one’s power, the calmer their mindset tends to be, making them less susceptible to external influences.

This attitude surprised both Li Pangtian and Lu Jiuyuan for a moment, but they quickly snapped back to reality and hurriedly welcomed Wu Hao into the Ancient Desolation Holy Land.

After they took their seats, Wu Hao got straight to the point and looked at Li Pangtian, speaking softly.

“Let’s hear it; what’s your purpose? You wouldn’t have invited me here for no reason, would you?”

Upon hearing this, Li Pangtian was momentarily stunned, but soon he reacted and said somewhat begrudgingly, “It seems I couldn’t hide it from Senior Wu’s eyes. Indeed, I do have a request of you.”

Li Pangtian’s expression was extremely serious as he looked at Wu Hao and spoke each word with clarity.

“I would like to ask Senior Wu to take action and annihilate the Blood Soul Sect!”

Lu Jiuyuan, standing nearby, although unaware of what had transpired, was immensely shocked. Previously, he thought Wu Hao was just as powerful as Li Pangtian, a Late Stage Immortal Emperor, which was why he had treated Wu Hao with such respect.

But now it seemed that wasn’t the case.

After all, the Blood Soul Sect was an existence that the last Holy Lord couldn’t vanquish even with the combined forces of the entire Upper Realm, and that was when the Blood Emperor had not fully awakened. Now, it seemed that the Blood Emperor had likely returned to his peak.

Since Li Pangtian claimed that the Wu Hao in front of them could destroy the Blood Soul Sect, then he undoubtedly possessed the strength to do so.

Thinking about this, Lu Jiuyuan also stood up and bowed to Wu Hao.

“Please, Senior Wu, take action to destroy the Blood Soul Sect!”

As for the other Elders, upon seeing their Holy Lord and Great Elder take such a stance, they also unhesitatingly rose to their feet.

“Please, Senior Wu, take action to destroy the Blood Soul Sect!”

Unexpectedly, in the next moment, Wu Hao gently waved his hand, and a powerful force compelled Li Pangtian and the others to stand. It was noteworthy that the Elders present were at least at the Immortal Venerable level, yet they were easily controlled by Wu Hao to stand upright, and even Li Pangtian felt an overwhelming inability to resist.

After witnessing this scene, Lu Jiuyuan and the others clearly understood that the Wu Hao before them was definitely an extraordinarily powerful being.

“You need not worry; the Blood Soul Sect will certainly be annihilated, but it won’t be by my hand.”

Wu Hao said lightly, but Li Pangtian hesitated and quickly pressed on, “If it’s not you, Senior, then who will it be?”

“Who do you think? Naturally, it will be the Holy Son of your Ancient Desolation Holy Land.”

Wu Hao replied, taking a sip of tea.

Upon hearing Wu Hao’s words, all the Elders of the Ancient Desolation Holy Land, including Li Pangtian, were filled with shock.

“But, Senior Wu, Yifan is currently only barely able to advance the Ancient Sacred Body to the Ancient Dao Body. Even if he does that, he won’t be a match for the Blood Emperor, who is now at his peak.”

As he spoke, there was a hint of deep respect in Li Pangtian’s tone, given that five Immortal Emperor Pinnacle beings had once appeared in the Upper Realm, all being the Ancestors of the Five Great Holy Lands.

Since then, no one had emerged at the Immortal Emperor Pinnacle level again, as if the well of talent had run dry.

“Don’t worry, if Yifan is not up to the task, I will naturally step in. The Blood Soul Sect is nothing; I could easily destroy them with a flick of my hand. Keeping them around is just to help him hone his skills.”

“You need not inform Yifan about this; he will come to know on his own.”

Hearing the nonchalant tone of Wu Hao, who did not regard the Blood Soul Sect as a threat, Li Pangtian and the others were utterly astonished, but after a while, they nodded, choosing not to intervene in matters concerning the Blood Soul Sect.

They simply thought that this time, the Blood Soul Sect was facing a major calamity.

Soon, Li Pangtian recalled something else and his expression became exceptionally grave as he looked at Wu Hao and inquired, “Senior, I have one more question.”

“Ask away.”

“I would like to know how to break through to the Immortal Emperor Pinnacle!”
