Chapter 12460

Just because he was a disciple of the Supreme Emperor, no one dared to touch him. Even the Heavenly Palace officials had to provide him with various conveniences. This was the deterrent power of the Supreme Emperor.

The Killing Saint's tone was icy: "Tianjun is too small to accommodate a second Supreme Emperor."

One Supreme Emperor was already the limit of their patience. If another one were to come, the Tianjun system, which they had painstakingly built up over thousands of years, might really collapse.

At this moment, Confucius suddenly spoke up: "Well said, go and kill him."

"..."

The Killer Saint choked on the spot.

As the most bloodthirsty of the five noble families, he was naturally not one to back down from battle, but that did not mean he was willing to take the risk.

When he had a minor clash with the Supreme Emperor, he was at the forefront and almost died.

I still feel lingering fear.

The Killing Saint said with a dark face, "Confucius, among us, your Kong family is the closest to the End Society. Shouldn't you be the one to step forward and resolve this matter?"

Although the other party's specific identity is unknown, one thing is certain: the other party must be closely related to the Termination.

Otherwise, the Demon Slayer Squad wouldn't have suddenly appeared when they attacked the Emperor of Ending.

Confucius said slowly, "Killing Saint is overestimating me. I didn't even know that such a powerful figure was hiding behind the Ending Society. How could you say I'm the closest to him?"

"What my granddaughter Qianqiu wants to do is her freedom."

"If anyone insists on dragging her into this, then I can only say that I am also somewhat skilled in martial arts."

The Saint of Slaughter's lips twitched, and he remained silent.

The old man in front of me had a refined and scholarly demeanor, and the Confucius family had always been regarded as moral saints in the eyes of the public.

But when it really comes down to it, their ferocity surpasses even his, the Saint of Slaughter.

At this moment, the Food Saint smiled and smoothed things over, saying, "In my opinion, a four-zhang-tall Dharma form is not like a cabbage by the roadside. It won't just suddenly appear out of nowhere. There must be some origin."

There are only two possibilities right now.

“Either he came in from outside, then we need to thoroughly investigate the defense system from the beginning. If even a master of the Four-Zhang Dharma Aspect level could get in without any warning, it means there’s a big problem.”

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyelids twitched, and they felt a chill run down their spines.

The reason why Tianjun is able to transcend the world and become the most unique existence among the thirteen counties of the Divine Realm is not only because its overall strength is far superior, but also because of its extremely strict isolation system.

Of course, this isolation is mutual.

Once someone reaches a certain level of strength, it becomes extremely difficult for either experts inside Tianjun to leave or experts outside Tianjun to enter.

Once this barrier is removed, Tianjun's originally stable system is very likely to collapse in a short period of time.

The Heavenly Palace is indeed very powerful.

However, the fact that the Heavenly Palace can control the Heavenly Prefecture does not mean that it can control the Thirteen Prefectures of the Divine Realm.

In terms of average strength alone, the Thirteen Counties of the Divine Realm are indeed far inferior to the Heavenly Counties, but there is no powerful organization that can rival the Heavenly Palace.

Whether it's the unfathomable Stone Alliance, the newly risen Righteous Alliance, or even the Heavenly Dao Academy that has always maintained a detached stance, any one of them could pose a disruptive challenge to the Heavenly Palace.

Upon hearing this, the strategist calmly said, "It's unlikely, but we can have the Shenhou group undergo a comprehensive check-up. Some loopholes do need to be plugged."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt somewhat relieved.

To be able to firmly establish the title of "Master Strategist," even if one doesn't claim to be omniscient, one is certainly not far off within the confines of Tianjun.

Since he said that, he must be more than 90% sure.

The Food Saint continued, "If he didn't come from outside, then there's only one other possibility: he broke through to the four-zhang Dharma Aspect within the Heavenly County. That would be interesting."

"How did he get this spot?"

“We all talk about this and that, but in essence we’re all the same thing, we all inherited it from our elders.”

No one present objected.

The so-called "the Grand Steward of Tianjun comes and goes, but the Five Sages of the Aristocratic Family remain unchanged."

The Five Saints do indeed change, but it is always an internal succession within each family, such as from the previous generation of Killing Saint to the current generation of Killing Saint.

From the very first day the Heavenly Palace was established, these five entities have been in charge, and thousands of years later, they are still in charge.

The reason is simple.

To truly be served at the table, one must be a master of the Four-Zhang Dharma Form.

No matter how talented or exceptionally gifted the other people in Tianjun are, being confined within Tianjun makes it incredibly difficult for them to secure a spot.

Just like Liu Aozhi this time.

Despite his high position as the Grand Administrator of Tianjun and the immense wealth of his family, he still failed miserably.

For anyone else, let alone winning the bet, they wouldn't even have the chance to gamble again.

In this matter, the Five Saints of the Aristocratic Families have a clear advantage.

They each had a complete set of methods for passing on the four-zhang Dharma Image quota to their own successors.

According to this system, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Five Saints families can be said to be permanently superior to the Heavenly County, their rule will be forever secure, and no one can threaten their status.

Everyone turned to look at Liu Aozhi.

"Could it be the spot that slipped through his fingers?"

Liu Aozhi immediately became restless.

If that's really the case, he'd be so angry he'd vomit blood. He'd bet everything he had, only to have it all go to someone else.
Who could accept that?

More importantly, it's not just a matter of whether he feels psychologically balanced or not; once this is confirmed, it will be a mess he caused.

The consequences would be too great. Not only could he not bear them, but even if the entire Liu family of Tianjun were included, it probably wouldn't be enough!

Confucius shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be. Breaking through to the four-zhang Dharma form is not something that can be done overnight. Even with the most thorough preparation, it would take at least half a year. The timing doesn't match up."

Everyone nodded.

These five families are the most experienced and knowledgeable in this regard.

Breaking through the four-zhang Dharma form often takes three to five years, and half a year is the absolute limit. Even if all five families are included, no one can reach this record.

It's only been a few days since Liu Aozhi purchased the four-zhang Dharma Image quota?

Liu Aozhi breathed a sigh of relief, but was also extremely embarrassed.

He forcefully broke through to the four-zhang Dharma form that day, which could fool those outside, but in the eyes of the Five Saints, it was purely the behavior of a clown.

Breaking through the four-zhang Dharma form in a single day?
You have no idea you could say that.

The Food Saint smiled and said, "If it's not his spot, then the only possibility I can think of is the last one."

Everyone's expression changed simultaneously; without saying a word, the same name popped into their minds.

The Ultimate Emperor.

The strategist said quietly, "How he managed to get that spot back then is still a mystery to this day. Now another mystery has emerged. It's quite interesting."
