A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 258

Chapter 258 Low-Key ≠ Destroying a Top-Tier Sect

“All right, this time Great Grandfather has your back, but next time? Great Grandfather won’t always be aware of what’s going on with you guys (yeah, right). So next time, think twice before acting—don’t let your emotions get the better of you, got it?”

Wu Hao turned to Wu Li, his tone extremely serious, as if the Wen Juren he had just crushed wasn’t even worth a second glance in his eyes.

Nangong Wan was stunned by the scene, utterly speechless, but inwardly she felt incredibly grateful for her choice—this time, she might really be about to take a giant leap forward.

Yet something crossed her mind, and with curiosity, Nangong Wan instinctively tried to use her Fate Eye to catch a glimpse of Wu Hao’s Fate. But the next second, she froze on the spot.

Because she couldn’t see any Fate on Wu Hao at all. Not a trace.

“Has Senior’s terror become something even I can’t perceive?” Nangong Wan thought, deeply shaken.

Since she first started using her Fate Eye, she had never encountered a situation where she couldn’t see through someone’s Fate. She even once managed to glimpse the Fate of an Immortal Emperor, and among that rank, the Fate at least reached the purple level.

So when Nangong Wan saw no Fate at all on Wu Hao, she instinctively assumed it meant he was so powerful that even her Fate Eye couldn’t see through him. After all, even someone on the verge of death would still have black-level Fate.

What she hadn’t expected was that Wu Hao simply had no Fate lingering around him at all.

Sensing Nangong Wan’s gaze, Wu Hao turned and looked her over carefully. After a long moment, he finally spoke.

“Young lady, it’s better to keep a low profile, lest you attract enemies you can’t defeat.”

Upon hearing this, Nangong Wan immediately understood what Wu Hao meant and quickly nodded in thanks.

“Thank you for your guidance, Senior. I understand.”

Meanwhile, Wu Li still clearly hadn’t caught on, his face full of confusion.

Just then, Wu Hao suddenly remembered something and addressed Wu Li.

“If you don’t finish off the roots, weeds will grow again whenever spring blows. Let’s go—while we’re at it, wipe out the Ten Thousand Thunder Sect. Otherwise, it’ll only cause trouble down the line.”

Hearing this, both Wu Li and Nangong Wan fell silent. Wait a minute, didn’t Great Grandfather just say to keep a low profile?

Got it: low-profile ≠ annihilating a top-tier sect.

But now there was no time for them to speak. Before they could say anything, Wu Hao led them swiftly toward the direction of the Ten Thousand Thunder Sect.

Within just a few breaths, Wu Hao, along with Wu Li and Nangong Wan, arrived at the perimeter of the Ten Thousand Thunder Sect.

At the same time, inside the sect, two other Immortal Emperor Elders sensed something amiss, and their expressions shifted slightly.

“Strange… what is this inexplicable sense of unease in my heart? Could it be that something is about to happen to the Ten Thousand Thunder Sect? But aside from the Five Great Holy Lands, who in the Upper Realm could possibly destroy our sect nowadays?”

Before they had time to fully react, Wu Hao struck decisively with a palm.

“Universal Salvation Palm!”

A supreme Buddha light radiated brilliantly from Wu Hao’s palm. The disciples and elders of the Ten Thousand Thunder Sect all felt a wave of warmth, but hidden beneath that warmth was a terrifying power capable of annihilating everything.

Even the two Immortal Emperor Elders felt their minds stirred by this overwhelming force, but they quickly regained their composure, their faces etched with dread.

“This is bad!”

Their response, however, came too late. In the blink of an eye, the Universal Salvation Palm descended, obliterating the entire Ten Thousand Thunder Sect. Not a single survivor remained.

Wu Hao’s control over his power was precise—every disciple and elder’s Storage Ring remained intact, as did the sect’s treasury.

Wu Li and Nangong Wan, standing nearby, had already regained their composure. Even if they witnessed this scene again, they would no longer be moved. After all, to effortlessly slaughter Late Stage Immortal Emperors and destroy a top-tier sect with a single palm, it hardly seemed surprising anymore.

In the next moment, Wu Hao willed the spoils of war from the Ten Thousand Thunder Sect to fly before him—naturally, this included the sect’s entire treasury.

Looking over the countless Storage Rings densely piled before him, Wu Li’s eyes involuntarily glistened. With so many resources, breaking through to Intermediate or even Late Stage Immortal Emperor wouldn’t seem like a difficult feat.

Still, Wu Li refrained from wild speculation. These were Great Grandfather’s spoils—how they should be handled was for Great Grandfather to decide.

What Wu Li hadn’t expected was that in the next moment, Wu Hao turned to him with an extremely serious tone and said,

“Wu Li, these are your enemies. You should have dealt with them yourself originally, but they bullied someone weaker than themselves, so Great Grandfather had to step in.”

“But even if Great Grandfather hadn’t intervened, with your talent, it wouldn’t have taken long for you to wipe out the Ten Thousand Thunder Sect. Therefore, this should be considered your spoils of war. So, take them.”

After saying that, Wu Hao controlled countless Storage Rings and the entire treasury of the Ten Thousand Thunder Sect, bringing them before Wu Li.

Wu Li and Nangong Wan were both stunned by Wu Hao’s sudden actions, frozen in place for a moment, unable to react.

When they finally realized what was happening, disbelief spread across their faces as they looked at Wu Hao.

“Great Grandfather, are you really giving all of this to me?”

“Hmm? Your tone sounds like you don’t appreciate it,” Wu Hao said, frowning slightly, seeming somewhat irritated.

Hearing this, Wu Li quickly absorbed the Storage Rings and the sect treasury into his inner world, then hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

“Thank you, Great Grandfather. I will train hard and live up to your expectations.”

Seeing Wu Li accept the spoils, Wu Hao’s face lit up with satisfaction, and he nodded approvingly.

“You’d better. Alright, now that the crisis is handled, Great Grandfather won’t bother you any longer. I’m off. Remember to start giving me some great-great-grandchildren soon.”

With that, regardless of Wu Li and Nangong Wan’s reactions, Wu Hao left on his own accord.

Soon after, Wu Li and Nangong Wan came to their senses, both blushing slightly. Wu Li quickly cleared his throat and spoke seriously.

“Ah, sorry about that. Great Grandfather might just like to speak carelessly sometimes, so please don’t take it to heart.”

However, Nangong Wan was already lost in her own daydreams and didn’t hear Wu Li’s words. She just nodded shyly.

In her mind, Nangong Wan thought: Ahh, could it be that Senior Wu’s words mean he accepts me as part of the Wu Family? If that’s the case, I need to speed up and win Wu Li over.

For Nangong Wan, Wu Li was handsome, talented, backed by power, and kind-hearted—hard not to be attracted to.

So after receiving Wu Hao’s approval, Nangong Wan immediately began plotting a series of plans to capture Wu Li’s heart.

Of course, Wu Li had no idea about any of this.
