Chapter 1563: Chapter 604: Wish Fulfilled
The scene caused the face of the Great Elder of the Divine Tree Sect to change dramatically, and made Zhou Chun, who was watching, have a sullen expression.
It was obvious that his suspicion had been confirmed; indeed, there was a powerful figure secretly protecting the Rock Armor Behemoth.
But what happened next again made Zhou Chun slightly stunned.
Although the Great Elder of the Divine Tree Sectâs attempt to kill the Rock Armor Behemoth failed, he succeeded in collecting the âEmperor Flow Nectarâ!
The bright green light emitted by the gourd dharma treasure successfully swept up some of the âEmperor Flow Nectarâ back into the gourd.
Seeing this, Zhou Chun couldnât help but narrow his eyes, with various speculations flashing through his mind instantly.
With thoughts racing in his head, he quickly flew towards the positions of several other Golden Elixir Elders of the Divine Tree Sect and transmitted his thoughts to a Golden Elixir Elder he had previously met.
After hearing Zhou Chunâs voice transmission, the face of that Golden Elixir Elder of the Divine Tree Sect also changed slightly, and he hurriedly communicated with a few fellow disciples via voice transmission.
Soon after, one of them signaled to summon back the Great Elder of the Divine Tree Sect, directly rallying the allied forces against the disciples of the Commanding Spirit Sect.
On the other side, when Lin Hongyu arrived at the scene, the descent of the âEmperor Flow Nectarâ was already nearing its end, with only about half of it being absorbed into the body of the Rock Armor Behemoth for its transformation and healing.
She happened to catch the last wave and hurriedly fought with several other Golden Core Stage cultivators for the remaining silver liquid.
It was at this moment that the previously motionless Rock Armor Behemoth suddenly made its move as everyone attempted to capture the âEmperor Flow Nectarâ.
It roared with its mouth open, causing Lin Hongyu and the others who were collecting âEmperor Flow Nectarâ to tremble all over and fall into a brief stupor.
Immediately, several thick grey-white light beams shot toward the Golden Core Stage cultivators who had already harvested plenty.
Ah ââ
A piercing scream suddenly echoed in the sky as the arm of a Golden Core Late Stage cultivator exploded, and he fled in haste, covered in blood.
The scream startled Lin Hongyu back to her senses. She glanced at the other areas in the sky where blood rain exploded, her face turned pale, and she hurriedly retrieved a cluster of âEmperor Flow Nectarâ back to her side. Then she released the Flame Prison Phoenix, rode on it, and fled in a hurry.
Meanwhile, the Rock Armor Behemoth swallowed the remaining âEmperor Flow Nectarâ whole and, after a mere glance at Lin Hongyu, directly pursued the fleeing Golden Core Late Stage cultivator.
Obviously, compared to Lin Hongyu, who merely came at the end to pick up some leftovers, the Golden Core Late Stage cultivator who had seized at least a tenth of its âEmperor Flow Nectarâ incited its greater anger and resentment.
Whew!
Upon witnessing this, Zhou Chun couldnât help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although it seemed that Lin Hongyuâs gains werenât impressive, at least she got a cluster of âEmperor Flow Nectarâ, and now it depended on the fortunes of the Golden Winged Tiger!
As for his side.
Zhou Chun glanced at the Divine Tree Sect allied forces over there that had already erupted into a battle with the Commanding Spirit Sect, a strange light flashing in his eyes fleetingly.
He almost understood the ins and outs of the situation by now.
If he wasnât mistaken, the Huangfu Family, due to certain reasons, couldnât directly subordinate the Commanding Spirit Sect or send forces to assist it against the Divine Tree Sect and other powers.
They couldnât even deal with those below Nascent Soul in cultivation level, except for helping the Rock Armor Behemoth overcome its tribulation and keep it alive.
Therefore, the previous actions of those people in intercepting the âEmperor Flow Nectarâ, even though they didnât align with the interests of the Huangfu Family, the hidden experts of the Huangfu Family could only pretend not to see it and merely ensured the survival of the Rock Armor Behemoth.
Similarly, as there were no Nascent Soul Stage True Persons participating in the fight, they couldnât intervene in the war between the Divine Tree Sect and other forces against the Commanding Spirit Sect, even if the Commanding Spirit Sect was obliterated!
This likely involved the power struggles among the top forces in the Great Zhou Kingdom, with everyone abiding by certain tacit agreements.
After all, Great Zhou Kingdom is unlike small countries such as Jingguo Country; this nation alone has more than two handfuls of Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, making it impossible for everyone to split territory like in Jingguo or to force all domestic medium and small forces to take sides.
If they did it that way, there wouldnât be the prosperous situation that Great Zhou Kingdom enjoys today.
Precisely because they havenât forced all medium and small forces to take sides, the upper-level social mobility in Great Zhou Kingdom hasnât been completely choked.
A sect like Thunder Cliff Valley, as an example, was able to leap into a major power overnight and become a new powerhouse because a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator emerged.
There are also large sects that fall into decline due to the sitting and transforming of Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, leaving no successors.
Whether itâs the rise or the fall of a major power, it only affects the power itself and a few subordinate forces, without causing widespread disturbance to the nationâs foundation.
Under this model, even if the Huangfu Family reached some private agreements with the Commanding Spirit Sect, they at least couldnât openly subsume a sect like the Commanding Spirit Sect, which has been passed down for thousands of years, as their vassal.
So, in theory, if theyâre not afraid of the Huangfu Familyâs secret retaliation later, they can only watch as the Commanding Spirit Sect is annihilated at this moment.
âItâs a pity my disguise canât fool Nascent Soul Stage True Persons, otherwise I would surely seize this opportunity to kill one or two Golden Elixir Cultivators from the Commanding Spirit Sect and make them bleed severely!â
