Chapter 630: Chapter 630

"Has the Supplicant lost contact?"

Upon hearing this terrible news, the man’s brow furrowed, and his expression darkened.

This person, named Yuan Tongcun, is a rising star within the Moro Sect and a candidate for the next Archbishop.

He was also the "psychological counselor" who encouraged Ji Jingqiu not to give up hope for survival on the eve of Ji Jingqiu’s Reverse Innate rebellion.

In front of Yuan Tongcun, the Moro Sect’s Archbishop, Indra, spoke in a low and hoarse voice:

"He was too eager to gain merits in front of the Divine Lord. We received news that he was taken to the Security Bureau, likely to be subjected to a Divine Pact, and sent to the Heavenly Road, to be drained of his last bit of value by the Federation."

Yuan Tongcun said with furrowed brows, "I will find a way to rescue the Supplicant!"

Indra shook his head, "That is not your task. Your mission is to enter the Western war zone, collaborate with those families, and prepare to besiege Ji Jingqiu."

Thinking of the young man who once played him for a fool, Yuan Tongcun’s eyes shone coldly, filled with killing intent.

He was eager to teach the former genius a lesson, but times had changed. In just over a year, Ji went from a True Seed to Chains, and even achieved Heart Proving Fetal Breath.

As news of Ji Jingqiu’s successive victories in challenging the Hundred Veins came, even he, the next Archbishop of the Moro Sect, no longer felt confident in handling Ji.

Yuan Tongcun frowned and said, "Even the Supplicant has failed; what forces are they preparing to send to capture Ji Jingqiu?"

The old man said lightly, "You will know when you get there. Since he is planning to challenge the Hundred Veins and coincidentally ’passing by’ the Western war zone, he will surely make an appearance, and that is our opportunity."

Yuan Tongcun’s eyes immediately gleamed with anticipation; he was eager to confront Ji once more.

As if thinking of something, he regretfully said, "Unfortunately, this young man’s roots in the Federation are now deep, earning recognition from many quarters, no longer the naive child that could be easily manipulated, and we can no longer discredit him using the Dream God as an excuse."

With Ji Jingqiu’s current influence and status, accusing him of having ties with the Dream God and being a suspected follower of Hel would hardly damage Ji Jingqiu anymore.

This young man is no longer comparable to Zhuang Butong of old.

By now, even if one of the Six Great Families wanted to attack Ji Jingqiu, they would have to be wary of the attitudes of other families, or fear the reaction of the Hundred Veins of the Federation, and even more... the Four Directions God Temple!

This young man maintains a very close relationship with the Four Directions God Temple, after all, he is He Commander’s successor.

But fortunately, Ji Jingqiu’s strength is also his weakness!

The identity of He Commander’s successor has made Ji Jingqiu a stumbling block for them, as well as for certain factions within the Federation.

"Should Ji Jingqiu be offered to the Divine Lord after capturing him?"

Yuan Tongcun looked forward to such a scenario unfolding.

Recently, the attitude of the Divine Lords towards the Federation had changed, no longer just observing but also intervening.

As he knew, forces under the Divine Lords across the Great Universe were trying to converge.

For instance, the distant Four Gods Church in the Chaotic Abyss Sea had already made contact with them, receiving a divine decree to assist them in accomplishing a feat that would please the Divine Lord!

Boldly guessing, he believed this was probably related to the departure of many grandmasters across the Great Universe; it was a good time to act.

Indra frowned, a touch of kindness in his eyes as he instructed, "You are to be an Archbishop in the future; remember, when serving the Divine Lords, think broader and take more steps ahead."

Yuan Tongcun quickly agreed.

Indra slowly said, "This time we are joining forces with those families. They will not allow us to offer Ji Jingqiu to the Divine Lord. The core goal is to extract crucial information left by Marshal He from Ji Jingqiu’s mind, this may become the [key] to unlocking the treasure coveted by the Divine Lords."

"Treasure?" Yuan Tongcun puzzled.

What treasure still remained in the Federation?

"That is where the Federation was founded, and also where those seven rose," the old man said solemnly, "The Divine Lords believe it may contain the secrets of those seven, and the biggest secret of the Great Universe."

"Those seven?" Yuan Cuntong frowned, then shocked, realizing the old man was referring to the Seven Marshals.

The rise of the Seven Marshals’ area?!

His heart was incredibly shocked; simultaneously, a flame named ambition fiercely ignited within him, his gaze intensifying.

Did the rise of the Seven Marshals also have other reasons?

The old man said calmly, "One anomaly is rare, two are rare, three or four, even seven or eight... do you think this is still ’normal’?"

Yuan Tongcun’s gaze sharpened.

"In the vast expanse of the Great Universe, Yanhuang is barely a corner of a province, yet it was the birthplace of seven anomalies in the same era."

"It’s the contemporary Hundred Veins grandmasters, although not anomalies, they also defy logic."

"The most recent ones, like Ji Linyuan a hundred years ago, Zhang Tiancheng two thousand years ago, and Chi Yinghuo three thousand years ago, are recorded in our teachings. These three individuals were closely watched by three Divine Lords who even paid a handsome price to collaborate with one of them."

"Although it was ultimately determined that the three were not anomalies, their brilliance could not be explained by common sense."

"And this generation has even produced Ji Jingqiu, this young man didn’t even need observation, he was obviously one of the new anomalies."

Hearing the Archbishop’s explanation, Yuan Tongcun fell silent.

Indra sighed, "How brilliant and dazzling was Marshal He in the past? He forcibly pulled the Dream God down from the Divine Throne, and the other six also stood out. Rising in just a few hundred years, they shook All Realms... alas, anomalies ultimately cannot defy fate."
