Chapter 719: Chapter 472

On the huge stone platform, a deathly silence pervaded.

Many powerful figures looked incredulously at the three Saint Masters.

No one could believe it, that these three, who had dominated the world for a thousand years and were revered with awe by countless people.

Yet were crushed to retreat continuously by the mere pressure of Guiyuan Sect’s Meng Dian and others.

Although Meng Dian and others were Golden Core True Men, the three Saint Masters had also crossed the Heavenly Tribulation and entered the Golden Core Realm.

Particularly Meng Dian’s words, they shook everyone’s hearts.

For a moment, everyone was staring at the three Saint Masters, wanting to see how they would explain.

“Big brother, I’ve long said we couldn’t hide it from them; the sharpness of a Golden Core Realm Divine Soul is not unknown to us.

Only the Puppet Dharma Body of Perfect Foundation Establishment cannot fully hide from their perception.”

At this time, the Third Saint Master suddenly spoke.

“Everything must be tried at least once.”

The First Saint Master shook his head.

Originally, he had the mindset of just trying, but now it seemed that they indeed couldn’t hide from the spiritual sense of the Golden Core Realm.

The conversation between the two directly caused a commotion.

The meaning in the two Saint Masters’ words was already obvious, essentially acknowledging Meng Dian’s remarks.

The true bodies of the three indeed could not leave the Holy Mountain, and what appeared before them now was merely a Puppet Dharma Body.

Even those who had speculated and those powers who were certain of this showed an unexpected expression on their faces.

Especially the strong ones who came from Qingyang Temple and the Cloud Water Secret Realm, they had been calm and composed from the beginning of the Holy Assembly to the end.

Even when Meng Dian and others joined forces, their expressions didn’t show much change, as if everything was within their expectations.

Yet now, they couldn’t help but be somewhat surprised.

“They actually admitted it. What exactly are these three planning to do?”

The people from the Three Great Secret Places were all puzzled.

The three Saint Masters, by this admission, practically exposed their weaknesses. With this, how could they still command obedience and continue the Holy Assembly?

Sure enough, hearing the words of the First and Third Saint Masters, Meng Dian and others showed expressions of delight.

“Revered Saint Masters, this is really unseemly on your part. For an important event like the Holy Assembly, the three of you only sent a Puppet Dharma Body, this is too dismissive of us, isn’t it?”

Meng Dian looked at the three Saint Masters with a slight smile.

“If you wish to see our true bodies, it’s very simple, just ascend to the Sacred Mountain directly, but do you dare?” The Third Saint Master said indifferently.

Meng Dian and others stalled.

To be honest, they didn’t dare.

These three old monsters had been cultivating on the Holy Mountain for a thousand years.

Presumably, they had fortified it to an impregnable fortress, and coupled with the mountain’s own mystic nature, who knows what methods could be employed.

With such advantageous terrain, even with numerical superiority, they might not escape unscathed.

“Hmph, big brother knows that you are all timid, so he set the location of the Holy Assembly in the Holy City, and not on the Holy Mountain.

Otherwise, with your courage, you wouldn’t dare to come, would you?”

The Third Saint Master’s cultivation was in the path of the sword, and his character was as straightforward as a sword, thus his words were naturally direct.

Facing the arrogant Meng Dian and others, he naturally showed no good face.

Seeing Meng Dian and others’ expressions, he directly ridiculed them.

“You…”

Meng Dian didn’t expect that the Third Saint Master, also in the Golden Core Realm, would speak so rudely, and his face turned a little red.

However, with his profound cultivation, he slightly circulated his mental method to suppress the anger in his heart, and his face returned to calmness.

“It seems that the Third Saint Master has yet to realize the situation.

Since you have admitted that your true bodies cannot leave the Holy Mountain, and only the Dharma Bodies came.

Then this Holy Assembly shouldn’t be presided over by you anymore.

With your current power, I’m afraid it’s no longer enough to command respect.”

“Our power can’t command respect, then whose power can, Mr. Meng, yours?” The Third Saint Master continued to mock.

“If you all can value Meng, Meng certainly wouldn’t decline, but as I said before, we cultivators should respect power.

Now that the world is changing, spiritual energy is recovering, not only is the Righteous flourishing, but even the path of the Evil Demon shows signs of revival.

Since the true bodies of the three Saint Masters are confined and cannot travel.

In the future, scaring off minor figures might become difficult.

Therefore, I feel that [the Holy Mountain] is no longer suitable to serve as the leader of our Righteous alliance.

It’s timely that this Holy Assembly is being held, I believe we should reselect a suitable sect to lead the Righteous.”

Meng Dian’s words directly shook the heroes.

It was apparent that after confirming the true bodies of the three Saint Masters could not leave the Holy Mountain, he no longer intended to hide.

He aims to directly seize the authority of the Holy Mountain, to overthrow them from the position of the head of Righteous.

“A suitable sect, the one you speak of, wouldn’t it be your Guiyuan Sect?” The Third Saint Master sneered.

“If my Guiyuan Sect can surpass all, then what’s wrong with assuming the head of Righteous?” Meng Dian said proudly.

At the same time, a formidable aura emanated from him, the powerful Golden Core pressure dominated the entire scene.

There even seemed to be signs of suppressing the aura of other Golden Core Realm powerhouses.

The Golden Core Realm cultivators of other sects, upon sensing Meng Dian’s suddenly enhanced pressure, couldn’t help but have a slight change in their expressions.

Because they found, at this moment, that Meng Dian gave them a feeling of unease.

“Did Meng Dian acquire some extraordinary Magical Treasure?”
