Chapter 334 Milky
Envoy Lu Han came to the Third Region this time specifically to inform the sects of the place for the upcoming Heavenly Selection. He came under the orders of the ruler of the Autonomous Region to temporarily stay within the Third Region and await the news about the exact date regarding the Heavenly Selection.
As for the reason why Envoy Lu Han went to their sect, it was only a matter of news from the Autonomous Region regarding the recent changes that the Third Region in the past few years—for example, the destruction of the Saber Path Sect or that other sect who was specialized in body cultivation.
Naturally, the person who was behind all of these changes, no one exactly knew him, but some saw his face—but no one dared disclose any information about him. Only those from the Autonomous Region knew about it through their spies and created portraits of this person.
Merely, unfortunately for them, this person never appeared again.
They only knew that his name was Dum Gai.
Only those people from the Yang Supreme Sect saw his real face, but they were strictly told by their sect master not to disclose any of this matter to anyone, lest they would be punished severely.
Xia Zhiguang was extremely cautious about this matter as he knew Yang Lujia\'s personality very much, coming from a blind position himself in Da Sishen—who did not know anything about Yang Lujia at all.
Envoy Lu Han looked at Xia Zhiguang\'s respectful countenance and he was slightly pleased about this appearance. It only meant that he was feared and someone who was with status—and that others should know he was high and mighty. Nevertheless, he would not dare neglect his duty due to some small disputes. Otherwise, their Lord of Order would be angry at him for causing too much fuss over simple matters.
"I heard that there was a person before who came to the Third Region and directly changed the situation with just his presence alone, flipping this region upside down with his strength. I am quite curious about this because even the Demon-Subduing Autonomous Order was not able to unite this place at all, due to their wariness of this place being a peculiar one for some reason. Can I have the honor of knowing who this person is, Sect Master Xia? Actually, I have a portrait here and he was quite young according to the rumors, it\'s definitely not you, right? He must have also used an alias for him to be able to hide from the eyes of our Demon-Subduing Autonomous Order…" Envoy Lu Han surmised, his attitude still laced with respect, but there was a hint of threat that Xia Zhiguang had felt.
Xia Zhiguang was only respectful to this person in front of him due to the current circumstances. Now that His Highness was not here to protect any of them, it was necessary for him to play the games of politics and get himself into a relationship with other factions, especially those with stronger ones.
He knew all along that Envoy Lu Han was from an organization called the Demon-Subduing Autonomous Order. This organization, according to the information he got from an informant he secretly planted in the Autonomous Region, was the strongest among all the other factions. To phrase it correctly, he must be careful with everything that he\'d say and do in front of this envoy.
With this, Xia Zhiguang started the act as he awkwardly scratched the back of his head with a slightly embarrassed smile plastered on her face. "This… Envoy Lu Han, it\'s not that I want to reject you about this matter, but that person is a reclusive expert who wouldn\'t want to expose his identity. We were just fortunately acquainted with him and saved his life in the past, that was why he gave this kind of strength now, sitting at the apex of the Third Region."
Seeing Xia Zhiguang\'s sentiments, Envoy Lu Han was somewhat convinced. Although it was superficially an act, the emotions that Sect Master Xia showed, the gratitude and admiration, could not be hidden. It seemed like there was not anymore drilling into this matter.
He was just curious anyway. Just a hermitlike expert. If their Lord of Order took action, that reclusive expert wouldn\'t be able to withstand an attack from him. As long as that man was wise not to become enemies with the Demon-Subduing Autonomous Order!
However, on the surface, towards Xia Zhiguang\'s reply, he merely smiled and said, "It\'s not a big deal, Sect Master Xia. I just want to know out of curiosity. Alright, give this Lord Envoy some time to take a rest. I will let my subordinates notify you right away after the schedule for the Heavenly Selection was out."
"Thank you, Lord Envoy Lu Han!" Xia Zhiguang sincerely gave a bow and went out of the room where he let the man stay.
This man\'s tone was extremely overbearing. Just based on his embroidered robe and the way he was dressed like some royalty, Xia Zhiguang could very well guess that this Envoy Lu Han wasn\'t just some simple envoy that the Demon-Subduing Autonomous Order would casually send.
He must be here for other motives!
"His Highness!" Xia Zhiguang muttered to himself and looked around him. It seemed like two people were tailing him. However, to the current him, their strength could only be said to be passable. Moreover, he had Xia Hua, his daughter, by his side.
From when she encountered a relative of Yang Lujia, she had worked herself to the fullest because of his unwavering pride to enter into Yang Lujia\'s heart—although vague and almost likely impossible to achieve. And that girl actually reached the Saint Emperor realm, although not at the peak, she was clearly very strong and could possibly leap-contend cultivators with realms higher than hers.
"Lord Envoy, there was nothing unusual about Sect Master\'s movements. He would also go to the open ground of the sect where the disciples of the sect were gathered to gather to practice and listen to lectures—from time to time," the man in black reported. "There was something unusual, though… there seemed to be something very powerful hiding behind his hall. The feeling of being touched by Extreme Yin almost poisoned this old man to death."
Envoy Lu Han was slightly surprised. It turned out Yang Lujia was really like the rumors said he was. A person whose means were beyond what ordinary people could think. A person whose strength towered above everyone else. However, feeling skeptical, he wouldn\'t stop until he saw this person.
"Oh? There\'s such a thing? Explain to me right away. What did you discover?"
The old thing in black seemed to be embarrassed to say it after a pretty long moment of silence but still urged himself to say things. "It\'s not that this old man was not strong, but I could feel like there were a pair of eyes staring at me in the depths of the abyss, wanting me to be dragged to the underworld. That extreme yin energy could easily wipe out this old man\'s extreme yang!"
Envoy Lu Han was further surprised about this matter. "Did Sect Master Xia do something after entering the hall?"
He thought of something. That sect master must have long noticed that they were only here for the sake of the person who changed the entire situation of the Third Region. They were just trying to cover it up with the matter regarding the Heavenly Selection.
However, it was true that the Heavenly Selection was already approaching near. It was the gathering of all geniuses in the Third Region, and selecting a few from them to become disciples of the Demon-Subduing Autonomous Order, or they could even seek refuge with the other factions such as the Commerce Autonomy or the Weapon-Forging Association.
Nonetheless, this was not the ultimate goal of Envoy Lu Han. He was really here to inquire and investigate about the sudden changes in the Third Region. That reclusive expert was a variable that could potentially harm their foundation as the ruler of the Autonomous Region once that expert would make a move.
He had confidence in taking down such an expert, with the Lord of Order\'s strength, but it was better to be cautious than become never wary at all.
The old man in black shook his head, still with his head bowed. "This subordinate is incompetent. Although this old man was strong, I could not see through the extreme yin energy enveloping his entire hall."
"There\'s actually such a thing in this place? Could it be some treasure that involved the extreme yin energy?" Envoy Lu Han abruptly stood, his eyes flashing with a strange light.
"However, Lord Envoy Lu Han, why would you disguise yourself as someone like this and become held in contempt by others?"
Another old man came and directly asked Envoy Lu Han such a question, to which the latter answered, "That\'s naturally not the case. I have my own reasons for doing this."
