This time, Liu Yun was the one who spoke to Lei Ao, saying that the Godly Martial School had contacted the Underworld Sect, and the Underworld Sect also mentioned Lei Ao's previous condition. The Godly Martial Sect Leader delivered five mature Spiritual Roots and a hundred immature Spiritual Roots on the same day.
This far exceeded the price that Lei Ao had offered. Therefore, he was extremely confused by this matter, and asked Liu Yun: "What does the Divine Martial Sect mean? Even if you were afraid that I would expose my Divine Martial Arts or kill his son, you don't have to be so ingratiating, right? Just do as I say. "
"Of course not." Liu Yun said, "I'm not sure of their real intentions, but the Godly Martial Sect Master did not hesitate to interrupt his closed door training because of this. They only have one request, and that is to be able to meet with you."
"Meet me? Is this some kind of trick? " Lei Ao was stunned.
"It's hard to say. Strangely, when the Divine Martial Sect offered the Spiritual Roots, they did not mention anything about the Divine Martial Art and their captured Young Lord. Furthermore, the only thing they wanted to see was their Sect Leader's personal opinion. It has nothing to do with the Divine Martial Sect."
"So, do you think I should go see him? Also, what is the strength of the Divine Martial Sect Master? " Lei Ao had a headache.
"You decide whether or not you want to go and see him. As for the Godly Martial Sect Master's strength, that is not easy to guess. After all, the strength of the scouts I sent to the Divine Martial Sect cannot be too high."
Liu Yun stopped and continued, "The closest he came to making a move was 470 years ago. At that time, there was internal strife in the Sect and the Sect Leader used a forceful method to suppress him. At that time, his strength was at the sixth level of the Earth realm."
"However, I heard that after that time, the Divine Martial Sect's Sect Leader was also heavily injured, and he had been in closed-door training since then, not revealing himself. Right now, we can be sure that the Sect Leader's injuries have completely healed, and as for his strength, it is possible that his cultivation would stagnate, or even regress due to his injuries.
"How troublesome, why is this old man doing so much? It's fine if he exchanged the spirit root for his own son, but he still has to meet him once."
Lei Ao's mind was in a mess. He said to Liu Yun, "Tell the Underworld Sect's people to return to the Divine Martial Sect and tell them that I have to consider it for a few days."
Liu Yun said, "Alright then. You can look for me after you've made up your mind."
After hanging up the communication, Lei Ao turned around and said to the two Chaos Spirit Beasts, "You heard it right? Do you two have any objections?"
"Simple. Just hand that Divine Martial Gate's roasted pig, that old servant, and that broken book over to the Underworld Gate and return them." Belgarath said.
Lei Ao was surprised: "You mean to say that you refuse to meet with the Divine Martial Sect Leader?"
"Nonsense, why don't you think about it. Now that you have gotten your spirit root, what's the benefit of seeing him?" It's not worth it to lose yourself. "
Old Wolf was a realist. Since meeting the Sect Leader of the Divine Martial Realm was not necessary and did not have any benefits, he might encounter danger. Thus, it was better not to meet him.
The old wolf's point of view was something that, for the first time ever, the Sky Worm Grandmaster did not talk back. Instead, he agreed with him and advised Lei Ao not to meet him.
"Let me think about it. I don't feel that the Divine Martial Sect Master has any ill intentions. Instead, he has something important to discuss with me." Lei Ao said.
Old Wolf sneered and said, "What important shit. You don't even know him? Earlier, the Divine Martial Sect went to Fu Bo City to discuss how to deal with you and even kidnapped his son. What kind of relationship do you think he has with you?"
"Don't be so noisy, damn it, I don't believe it. I'm not even afraid of peak Earth Stage like the Void Valley, so how could I be afraid of him alone? Since he dares to see me alone, I would lose a lot of face."
"That's true. If it was Mister Wolf, he would never lose his face." The old wolf nodded repeatedly, and the skysilk silkworm ancestor sneered, "How could a shameless dog like you have any face?"
"What did you say?" Stupid fat bug, you must be tired of living, right? " The old wolf was furious. These two guys could already feel that something was amiss even if they didn't quarrel for a day.
Lei Ao ignored them and walked straight back to the guest room. After thinking about it and not making up his mind, he decided to ask the Divine Martial Sect's Young Lord first. Maybe he would be able to find some clues.
Inside the small world, after hearing Lei Ao's words, the Divine Martial Sect's Young Master's face was filled with shock, "You said that my father gave you five fully matured Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots? There are still a hundred that haven't ripened yet? "
"Right, your old man is really generous."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible." The young master of the Divine Martial Sect exclaimed: "Our sect only has a total of five mature Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots, how can we give them all to you? And there's even a hundred of them, which are still immature. These are practically all of our sect's spiritual roots. "
"What?" Girl, you said there are only three stalks before, why are there only five stalks now? Lei Ao was infuriated. He shouted in the young master's ear, "You bastard, summon the young master from the truth!"
"I've said everything I can." The Divine Martial Sect's young sect master realized that he had leaked the information, and he was panicking inwardly.
Lei Ao thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, seeing that your old man is cooperating, this young master won't make things difficult for you. To tell you the truth, your old man made a request when he sent the spirit root over."
"What request?" The Divine Martial Sect's Young Master was surprised for a moment, but then said joyfully: "Do I need you to send me back unharmed?"
"Uh, no." Lei Ao quickly shook his head and said, "He only said that he wanted to see me once, but he didn't say a single word about you, his son."
"What?" You lied to me, my father will definitely not ignore me. " The Divine Martial Sect's Young Lord's eyes reddened as he roared at Lei Ao.
"Shut up." Lei Ao ruthlessly slapped him down onto the ground, "F * ck, don't forget that you're still a prisoner. How dare you yell at me?"
"Impossible! Father can't possibly ignore me! Right, Father must want to see you. He must want to bring me back. That must be it, that's right!"
The Divine Martial Sect Young Master absentmindedly muttered to himself, quickly finding a reason to comfort himself.
Lei Ao couldn't be bothered to deal with him. He only asked, "Tell me, what does your old man want to see me for?"
"What do you mean? "Of course it's to personally bring me back. Father really dotes on me and doesn't feel comfortable letting others do the same. That must be the case."
"Motherf * cker, keep dreaming. Now that young master has obtained his spirit root, if you're not satisfied, I'll destroy you."
"You want to go back on your word?" The Divine Martial Sect's Young Master was startled and his face immediately paled.
"Never mind, you probably won't be able to get anything out of me, kid."
Lei Ao helplessly backed out, and pulled Old Wolf in again. He pointed at the old servant who was still unconscious and said, "Wake this fellow up, I have something to ask him."
The old wolf said, "Brat, are you sure? After all, this fellow is also an Earth tier expert. If he were to self-destruct, the two of us will be able to resist him. "
"I don't think so, unless he wants to blow up the Divine Martial Sect's pig." Lei Ao glanced over at the Divine Martial Sect Young Master. He felt that Old Wolf's words were reasonable, so he dragged Ancestor Tian Sha inside.
After some preparation, the old wolf released the seal on the old servant from the Divine Martial Sect. The old man woke up and pounced towards the old wolf, wanting to give his all. He was slapped over by the old wolf, and threatened: "Damned old man, if you move again, do you believe that Mister Wolf will eat your young lord alive?"
Young Lord?! The old servant was shocked and asked, "What did you do to the young lord?"
"He's fine." Lei Ao walked over, pointed at the Divine Martial Sect Young Master, and said, "He's right there. I didn't mistreat him."
The old servant glanced over and his face immediately twitched. The young lord's Divine Martial battle clothes had been stripped off and his clothes were tattered. The old man's head was swollen; this was not mistreating him.
No matter what, at least he was still alive. Recalling the situation they were in, it was clear that they were in control of each other. The old servant had no choice but to lower his voice and ask, "What do you want to do?"
"Not much, I've already gotten what I needed. I will let you off shortly, but now, I have something that I need you to ask me."
Lei Ao said to the old servant, "You are not weak. In order to prevent my small world from suffering, I'll trouble you to seal your own cultivation."
With a naked threat, the old servant's face was filled with anger. He turned to look at the young lord and finally sighed. He did not react and sealed his own skills according to Lei Ao's words.
"Very good." Lei Ao nodded and said: "Actually, it's not a big deal. I negotiated with the Divine Martial Sect for three Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots in exchange for you guys, but your Sect Leader gave me five and brought a hundred unripe ones with him. The request is just to see me, I want to hear your opinion."
"What did you say?" "Five Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots?" The old servant was shocked. His reaction was even more intense than the young master of the Divine Martial Sect's earlier.
"That's right. Strangely, as long as he requests an audience with me, he doesn't mention anything about you."
Lei Ao was afraid that the other party wouldn't believe him, so he took out the spirit root and placed it in front of the old servant, causing the old wolf and the Sky Worm Ancestor to salivate.
"That's right, this is indeed the spirit root collected by our sect. This Heavenly Dragon Long White Ginseng was found by this old man and another elder. There is no mistake."
The old servant looked on absentmindedly for a while before sighing, "I am only a servant of the Divine Martial Sect. I have no way of knowing the intentions of the sect master when he sees you."
"Really?" No matter what, you're an Earth Stage powerhouse, do you really not know? " Lei Ao did not believe him, but the old servant did not look like he was lying.
"Indeed, I don't know, but I can tell you that participating in the Flowing Waves City gathering was only the young master's intention. The school head doesn't know about it, and even the elders within the school don't know about it."
"Uh, you said that this brat is here to find trouble with me? has nothing to do with the Divine Martial Sect? " Lei Ao was even more skeptical, "Isn't that pushing things too far too obvious?"
"It's not evasion." The old servant explained, "Young Master originally wanted to go to the Phoenix Sect to propose marriage, but at that time, the Divine Void Sect sent an envoy to invite the Sect Master to Fu Bo City to take part in the fight against the descendants of the Divine Veins. At that time, because the head hadn't come out yet and the young master was receiving the messenger, the young master agreed to this matter himself. He didn't inform the head of the sect and he also reported it to the elders. "
"I am only a servant and not a member of the Divine Martial Sect. I cannot interfere with matters within the sect, and I cannot refute the Young Chieftain's intentions. Therefore, I have assumed the responsibility of escorting you."
As the old servant spoke, his face was filled with shame, "In the end, the Young Lord was captured before we even reached Flowing Waves City. This old man's protection is lacking, and I have no face to face with the Sect Leader."
"Don't belittle yourself. Whether it's a servant or servant, you still have the strength of an Earth Stage. Powerful people like you are rare in the Divine Origin Realm, and it's impossible for the Divine Martial Sect to lose talented people like you."
Lei Ao asked, "According to your conjecture, why did your sect's leader see me? My intuition thinks that it has nothing to do with you or your Young Master, and I didn't even mention a single word of the Divine Martial Arts, the supreme treasure of the sect. "
"It's most likely related to the Divine Veins." The old servant's sudden words startled Lei Ao. The old wolf on the side shrieked: "Look, Mister Lang already said that earlier. That shitty Sect Leader must be up to no good. He is indeed plotting your Divine Veins."
Lei Ao's face turned ugly. Just as he was about to say something, the old servant shook his head and said, "That's not it, Sovereign is not scheming on your Divine Veins. If he wanted it, he would have had the chance four hundred years ago."
"More than four hundred years ago? "Hold on." Lei Ao recalled Flowing Cloud's words. About 470 years ago, the Divine Martial Sect was in a state of internal strife. In the end, the Sect Leader used a forceful method to suppress it.
The old servant also mentioned that four hundred years ago, could it be related to that internal conflict? Could it be that there were Divine Veins disciples participating at that time?
Lei Ao asked with a puzzled expression. However, the old servant looked at the Divine Martial Sect's Young Master and refused to speak further.
Lei Ao saw through the old servant's misgivings and straightforwardly told Old Wolf to knock the young lord out. He said to the old servant, "You can say it now. I'm getting more and more curious. Since you're a servant, why are you hiding it from your master? It doesn't make sense."
"It's not that I'm hiding it from you, it's just that it's the sect leader's order." Indeed, after the Divine Martial Sect's Young Lord fainted, he said, "In reality, the Young Lord is not the Sovereign's son."
"What the hell? Are you for real? " Lei Ao almost choked to death on his own saliva. No wonder the Divine Martial Sect Leader didn't care about the life and death of this roasted pig.
The old servant revealed a deep look in his eyes, and slowly started to talk about the Divine Martial Sect's past, which happened hundreds of years ago.
About 1200 years ago, the Sect Leader was just an ordinary disciple of a sect. By chance, he met a girl named Lin Miao'er.
After that, the Godly Martial Sect Master had always been by Lin Miao'er's side. After more than a hundred years of interaction, he had gradually moved Lin Miao'er's heart, and the two of them had a true relationship.
However, when the Sect Leader asked to marry Lin Miao'er, Lin Miao'er revealed her background. She was actually from the Divine Veins Aristocrat Clan, and her status in the clan was not low either.
At that time, the Sect Leader felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him. He understood that in order to maintain the purity of their bloodline, it was basically impossible for the Divine Veins Aristocrat Clan to marry another clan.
For a period of time after that, the Sect Leader seemed extremely dejected. He deliberately avoided Lin Miao'er, wanting to sever this fruitless relationship. Feeling very disappointed in this, Lin Miao'er left the Sect Leader.
When the person he loved the most was lost to him, the Sect Leader suddenly came to his senses. He couldn't bear to part with this favor, so he frantically searched for Lin Miao-er.
It was not until ten years later that he finally found Lin Miao-er in a hidden valley. The Sect Leader was extremely vexed over this and vowed not to miss a second chance.
