Chapter 6078: The Netherworld Sect’s Fear

Jimo Qianzhou fell silent after hearing Baili Zilin’s words.

Even their operation to capture Xianhai Yu’er had been discreet, but Baili Zilin wanted to stand before the world openly. That put him in a spot. This was not a matter he could call the shots on.

Those higher ranking than him happened to be in closed-door training, and he had no idea where they were. He couldn’t seek their permission even if he wanted to.

And those lords had issued an order before they went into closed-door training, instructing the sectmembers to lie low and not to do anything overboard other than finding prodigies to plant Netherworld Embryos in.

Baili Zilin’s desire to appear in public at this juncture was in defiance of those lords’ order.

“Uncle Qianzhou, are you unwilling to help me too?” Baili Zilin asked.

“Young master Zilin, I support you, but this matter has grave consequences. We have to seek permission from milord. If milord agrees, we’ll go ahead even if those from the conservative faction oppose.”

Jimo Qianzhou had made it clear that as long as Baili Zilin’s father was agreeable to it, he was willing to take the risk for Baili Zilin.

But Baili Zilin wasn’t satisfied with the answer. “Uncle Qianzhou, my father has gone into closed-door training, and he won’t emerge from his closed-door training until he makes a breakthrough, so we have no idea when he’ll be out. But I don’t want to wait anymore.

“The world already knows about our Netherworld Sect, and the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s Jie Tianran isn’t around. Is there any power in the world of cultivation that can stop our Netherworld Sect at this juncture? I only want the world to know about me. Is that such a difficult request?”

“Young master Zilin, the ones that our Netherworld Sect fears the most are the Ancient Era’s clans. Many years ago, while your mother was expecting you, your father and those few lords once encountered a mysterious expert inside a remnant.

“That expert was extremely powerful, such that your father and those few lords weren’t a match despite teaming up against him. They only survived the encounter using the treasure left behind by Lord Netherworld Master.”

Baili Zilin was intrigued. It was his first time hearing about this. “Who’s that person? Is he from the Ancient Era’s clans?”

Those lords from the neutral faction were unfathomably powerful, and his father, despite only rising through the ranks later, contributed greatly to the Netherworld Sect’s fighting prowess too.

All in all, the Netherworld Sect was extremely powerful, towering above all the galaxy overlords. That was the reason Baili Zilin thought that the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion was not a threat. He couldn’t understand why the Netherworld Sect hadn’t unified the world of cultivation.

Yet, he learned today that someone had defeated those few lords and his father.

This shattered his common sense.

“That person didn’t reveal his face. His martial power also doesn’t fit into any sects or clans in the present-day world of cultivation, which is why those lords guessed that he might be from the Ancient Era’s clans,” Jimo Qianzhou replied.

“Are the Ancient Era’s clans that powerful?” Baili Zilin was taken aback.

“We still have no idea the extent of what the Ancient Era’s clans are capable of, but we can safely say that even though the Ancient Era’s clans we have seen thus far appear strong, they are far from representative of what the Ancient Era’s clans are truly capable of.

“Bloodshed will be inevitable in this era, especially with the emergence of G.o.d’s Era.

“So far, our Netherworld Sect hasn’t involved itself in worldly conflicts because we know that no one can rival us once we achieve our goals. But now, there’s no guarantee that we can live in peace even if we try to steer clear of conflict.

“It isn’t just recently that the world views our Netherworld Sect as an unorthodox power. The only reason we have remained safe and sound thus far is due to our strength. Without strength that inspires fear in others, someone is bound to make a move against us under the hypocritical name of justice.

“Jie Tianran is capable of doing that. He has been hiding his strength, though it’s unlikely that he’s strong enough to shake the position of our Netherworld Sect yet, else he would have made a move on us by now. Still, it’s unnerving that he is performing better than the other juniors in G.o.d’s Era. He looks to be the most likely one to obtain the power of G.o.d’s Era following Chu Feng’s departure. If he gains sufficient power, he might make a move on us.

“Similarly, the mysterious expert from the Ancient Era’s clans pose a threat to us too.

“That’s why your father and those lords from the neutral faction went into closed-door training at this juncture. It’s not just to further their strength but also to ensure that our Netherworld Sect has the ability to protect itself and survive in this world,” Jimo Qianzhou said grimly.

The current circ.u.mstances unnerved him too.

Baili Zilin didn’t say a word, but his gaze hinted at his reluctance to give up. Jimo Qianzhou’s words had been in vain.

“Zilin, the lords are in closed-door training. I’m worried that I’d fail to protect you if something happens,” Jimo Qianzhou said.

“Uncle Qianzhou, aren’t you already at Heavenly G.o.d level? What’s there to fear from a mere Chu Feng?” Baili Zilin asked.

“Young master Zilin, I don’t think you get what I’m saying. What I fear is not Chu Feng or the powers you see on the surface right now. I’m worried that the Ancient Era’s clans might have powerhouses who didn’t enter G.o.d’s Era.

“We will remain safe as long as we remain in the shadows, but we’ll be exposed to danger if we choose to reveal ourselves,” Jimo Qianzhou said.

“Just like Chu Feng?” Baili Zilin suddenly asked.

Jimo Qianzhou was initially taken aback, but he soon nodded. “That’s right.”

“But Chu Feng is still alive. If he can do it, why can’t I?” Baili Zilin asked.

“That’s not what I mean, young master Zilin. I can’t call the shots on this matter.” Jimo Qianzhou was put in a spot.

“My mind is made up. Unless Uncle Qianzhou stops me, I’ll stand in front of the world and prove myself to them,” Baili Zilin said before closing his eyes to focus on his recuperation.

“Haaa!” Jimo Qianzhou shook his head helplessly.

He wouldn’t stop Baili Zilin, but he was also worried that a mishap would befall the latter.

“Milord!” a Netherworld General suddenly called out.

Jimo Qianzhou was in a bad mood. He might not be able to vent his anger on Baili Zilin, but he could most definitely vent his anger on a Netherworld General. But before he could speak, the latter revealed a shocking piece of news.

“Something has happened to the Undying Starfield!”

Jimo Qianzhou was startled. Baili Zilin opened his eyes and stood up.
