C699 Emperorranked Palace of the Emperors

"Woo, no woman would give up everything just to resolve some so-called emotional knot."

"Besides, even if there was such a thing, why would Zhiwu have this emotional knot in the first place?"

"It's because of you! If this knot is because of you, and she's entrusted everything to you, how could she just leave without a word?"

"And don't you trust your own judgment? Is Zhiwu the type to be heartless? She must have her reasons for doing this. Not wanting to see you again shows how deeply she loves you. She doesn't want to drag you into her troubles, silly brother!"

Bing Yue whispered these words into Woo Zhengyang's ear, and finally, her words moved him.

Loong Zhiwu's sudden departure and her harsh words had hit Woo Zhengyang like a bolt of lightning, leaving his mind blank and unable to think of anything else.

Thanks to Bing Yue's analysis, Woo Zhengyang finally came to his senses.

If there was no love, there wouldn't be any emotional knots or past ties to resolve. Since Loong Zhiwu liked him, she couldn't have suddenly become so resolute without reason. There must be more to the story.

"Yes... yes... there must be something hidden. I need to find her, I have to ask Zhiwu what's going on." Woo Zhengyang, having just regained his composure, was once again thrown into a frenzy. Loong Zhiwu's sudden departure was completely unexpected and had dealt him a heavy blow.

"The world is so vast, how do you plan to find her? I can tell that Zhiwu's identity is anything but simple. Just the disguise technique from that mysterious old woman is something most people can't see through. If she wants to hide from you, there's no way you'll find her," Bing Yue stopped Woo Zhengyang.

"So what should I do? Should I just give up or wait for her to come back?" Zhengyang had calmed down a bit but was still at a loss, seeking Bing Yue's advice.

Bing Yue shook her head, "Since Zhiwu left so decisively, she won't be coming back. Finding her will be difficult. But don't forget, everyone has a family or a group they belong to. Zhiwu's family or group is likely extraordinary. Her actions might be related to them. If we find her family or group, we might have a chance to find her."

Bing Yue's analysis made sense, giving Zhengyang a glimmer of hope. He nodded repeatedly, "You're right. For Zhiwu to become the head of the Heavenly Martial Academy, she must have a background that surpasses the Heavenly Martial Sect. Unfortunately, I destroyed the sect, and Liao Qinghua and others are gone. Otherwise, we might have found some clues from them."

"The Heavenly Martial Sect was vast; surely someone escaped. With the current reputation of the Profound Heaven Sect, the sects and nations in the Heavenly Martial Sect's territory will respect you. You can search then. Besides, I'll also gather information in the area around the Ice Heart Sect. Be patient for a while, brother."

Bing Yue spoke softly, warming Woo Zhengyang's heart. Until now, Bing Yue had always seemed unreliable to him, someone best kept at a distance. Even after learning about the history between Bing Yue and Nie Fengyu, his perception hadn't changed. But in this moment, Woo Zhengyang finally saw Bing Yue as a friend, even like an older sister.

"Thank you, Sister Bing Yue!" Woo Zhengyang said sincerely.

"No need to thank me. I'm just trying to get closer to you. You might even say I'm taking advantage of the situation," Bing Yue replied with a playful wink.

Woo Zhengyang was speechless. Just when things started to feel genuine, she was back to her antics.

After saying goodbye to Bing Yue, Woo Zhengyang returned to his dwelling at Heavenly Death Peak. He knew Loong Zhiwu had her reasons for leaving, reasons beyond his ability to resolve. Even if he found her now, what could he do? If he were capable of solving her problems, she wouldn't have left so decisively.

Strength—it all came down to strength. Woo Zhengyang reluctantly admitted that in this world, everything was determined by power. If he were a Martial Emperor, would Loong Zhiwu have feared implicating him and left? The thought of strength left Woo Zhengyang feeling a bit uneasy.

Woo Zhengyang might not have the highest cultivation level, but with the Star World, Hongnu, the Invincible Cannon Car, and a squad of Martial King followers, his strength is undeniably formidable. According to Bing Yue, with Woo Zhengyang around, the Profound Heaven Sect could immediately rise to become the top sect under the Golden Scale Sect once it transitions to the Profound Heaven Gate.

In reality, Woo Zhengyang's combat power surpasses even that, and he is confident he could challenge the Golden Scale Sect itself. While others only recognize the might of the Invincible Cannon Car, they lack a full understanding. Woo Zhengyang knows that when the Cannon Car unleashes its full firepower, it rivals a Martial Emperor's full-force strike, and its defense is even more impressive—this is his first trump card.

His second trump card is Hongnu. Although she didn't experience the same cultivation advancement as Woo Zhengyang when leaving the sealed world, it's important to remember that Hongnu was sent into that sealed world millennia ago. Over those thousands of years, even without deliberate cultivation, she naturally reached the peak of the Demon King level and has even been suppressing her power. Now, having left that sealed world, she's ready to break through to the Demon Sovereign level at any moment. However, like Woo Zhengyang, she understands that many tasks need attention, so she temporarily holds back. Once the Profound Heaven Sect's crisis is resolved, Woo Zhengyang has already instructed her to break through in the Star World.

In other words, if the Profound Heaven Sect waits a little longer, it might even skip over the Profound Heaven Gate and become the Profound Heaven Faction!

While others were unaware of this, Woo Zhengyang shared some insights with Loong Zhiwu during their intimate moments. Yet, despite this, Loong Zhiwu chose to say a final goodbye.

This implies that even with Woo Zhengyang's considerable strength, he couldn't help Loong Zhiwu with her burdens. Just how complex and challenging is her background?

Could it surpass the Golden Scale Sect?

A Sovereign establishes a faction, a Monarch builds a palace, and an Emperor forms an alliance! The highest level of cultivation in the Golden Scale Sect is already at the Sovereign level, with legends of palaces and alliances beyond that!

Could Loong Zhiwu's background be that formidable?

The thought of this possibility left Woo Zhengyang a bit shocked. Although he was quite ambitious, he had only been cultivating for a little over a year and hadn't considered reaching such heights. But now, Woo Zhengyang had to contemplate it...
