The Supreme Lord Donghuang - Chapter 282

Chapter 282: Vermilion Bird Dharma Power

Suddenly, as if she had remembered something, He Mengxi said to Zhou Donghuang with a grave expression on her face, “By the way, Little Junior Brother… Twenty-two days ago, two Tiansong Sect disciples were the first to leave among the various sect disciples who participated in the Alliance Hunt. After making their exit, they brought us some news…

“Mo Yitian is dead!”

While listening to He Mengxi’s earlier words, Zhou Donghuang had already guessed what she was going to say later. After all, Mo Yitian had died by his hands.

“There was another early Dharma Tiansong disciple who was killed together with Mo Yitian,” He Mengxi said.

“Those two Tiansong disciples said that the killer’s build and style of dress were both very similar to yours. He was also dressed in a piece of white clothing, but he wore a devil mask… if that person had not shown his Dharma Power, they would have thought that he was you.”

At this, He Mengxi’s gaze turned slightly strange as she looked at Zhou Donghuang. “They said that his Dharma Power was a Flying Beast Dharma Power that seemed to be covered in flames from head to toe. On top of that, he has grasped Dharma Power Control!”

Dharma Power Control.

It seemed that such an existence had never appeared in the history of the Hengliu galaxy.

However, in the present age of the Hengliu galaxy, although she did not know about other people, she knew three people who had grasped Dharma Power Control… one of them was none other than her little junior brother, Zhou Donghuang. As for the other two, they were herself and Da Zhuang.

While the training styles which she and Da Zhuang had switched to were different, they were both Deity-level training styles. After undergoing the change and after refining their Dharma Powers slightly, their Dharma Powers were nearly polished to perfection, and they could execute the legendary Dharma Power Control.

Of course, until now, forget about Dharma Power Control, she and Da Zhuang did not even dare to execute Dharma-body Integration in front of others.

The moment they showed the technique, people would definitely suspect that they had obtained incredible training styles. This would bring them calamity.

After all, many people in the Lightning Sword Sect knew what their abilities had been like in the past.

“Little Junior Brother, if not for the fact that your Dharma Power was different from that person’s Dharma Power… I wouldn’t be able to help myself from suspecting that that person was you,” He Mengxi said softly.

Zhou Donghuang smiled faintly and did not respond. He knew that his third senior sister would definitely suspect him.

After all, when he had killed Mo Yitian, he had used his Vermilion Bird Dharma Power, which he had never shown in front of anyone. His Vermilion Bird Dharma Power had only broken through to the late Dharma Stage not long before the Alliance Hunt… So far, three out of his four divine beast Dharma Powers had all entered the late Dharma Stage.

His Black Turtle Dharma Power was the only one that had yet to breakthrough.

Once his Black Turtle Dharma Power had broken through, he could then start aiming for the ultimate Dharma Stage.

Before that, even if he wanted to aim for the ultimate Dharma Stage, he would be strong in will but weak in power. Because he could only advance further after all his four divine beast Dharma Powers had entered the late Dharma Stage… this was no different from when he had been in the Primal Core Stage.

“What’s the response of the Tiansong Sect thus far?” Zhou Donghuang asked.

As this matter concerned Luo Qinghan, he could not help but ask.

“The Tiansong Sect Leader flew into a great rage on the spot. He was about to lead his men to the Guiyao planet to search for the person who had killed his disciple… Because everyone, whether it was him or the heads of the other sects, suspected that the killer was not from our Hengliu galaxy, but had appeared on the Guiyao planet by mistake. Because his level of practice had not reached the Primordial Soul Stage, none of the three mid Divine Transformation elders before him had discovered any trace of him,” He Mengxi said.

“However, because the Alliance Hunt had not officially ended, the three mid Divine Transformation elders did not allow the head of the Tiansong Sect to enter at the time… they allowed him to enter only after the Alliance Hunt ended. However, before that, they had already sent many people and scattered them across the entire Guiyao planet. If anyone wanted to take advantage of the situation and leave, those highly-ranked members of the various sects would take action and capture that person.

“This was also to prevent Mo Yitian’s murderer from leaving.

“This time, Mo Yitian is suspected of having been killed by a martial adept outside the Alliance. As the executives of the Alliance, the three seniors take this very seriously.

“Right now, we have the Lightning Sword Sect disciples here. The Sect Leader, my father and the rest are also in charge of monitoring this area. If anyone tries to seize the opportunity to leave, they will take action to intercept that person.”

At this, He Mengxi glanced at the head of the Lightning Sword Sect and her father. Following her line of sight, she also swept her gaze across the other three Valley Heads of the four inner valleys.

“Senior Sister, could it be someone from one of the sects in the Alliance who took up his cudgels because he saw injustice being done?”

Da Zhuang rubbed the back of his head and asked.

“That’s impossible!”

He Mengxi shook her head. “If someone from one of the sects in the Alliance did it, that person could not have killed Mo Yitian even if they could save Luo Qinghan… Everyone in the Alliance knows that Mo Yitian is the favorite of the Tiansong Sect Leader, Huang Chunqiu. Killing Mo Yitian is no different from killing his son!

“No one would be willing to be the target of the Tiansong Sect Leader’s anger.

“Furthermore, even if he belonged to one of the sects in the Alliance, there’s no way he would’ve let the other two Tiansong Sect disciples go after killing Mo Yitian and the other Tiansong Sect disciple… As the victim, Luo Qinghan may keep his identity a secret, but it’s impossible that those two Tiansong Sect disciples would do the same.

“Most importantly… That person has grasped Dharma Power Control!

“In the history of the Hengliu galaxy, there has never been a Dharma adept who has grasped Dharma Power Control… Of course, that excludes us.”

When she reached her last sentence, He Mengxi pressed her voice down very low once again. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito’s. Only the two people leaning close to He Mengxi, Zhou Donghuang and Da Zhuang, could hear her.

“Summing up all of the above, we can conclude… that that person probably came from outside the Hengliu galaxy. On top of that, he may have a powerful background.”

When she got to this point, He Mengxi’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Those three elders have already greeted the Tiansong Sect Leader, Huang Chunqiu… If that person was just a non-affiliated practitioner, it wouldn’t matter. But if he had a powerful background, even if he killed Mo Yitian, the Tiansong Sect wouldn’t be allowed to take revenge.

“The Alliance wouldn’t allow the Tiansong Sect to take revenge.”

He Mengxi glanced at Zhou Donghuang. “Not every Dharma adept who knows the technique Dharma Power Control has had an ‘extraordinary encounter’ like you did… If people like this are not non-affiliated practitioners, they must have powerful backers. It may be a powerful sect or a powerful family.

“The Tiansong Sect can’t afford to offend such an existence, nor can the Alliance… I’m afraid that even the two Transcendental Forces, the most powerful in the Hengliu galaxy, can’t afford to offend them either.

“If such an existence wanted to destroy the Tiansong Sect and even the Alliance, there would be no difficulty in doing that at all!”

Zhou Donghuang did not expect to trigger this series of effects in wearing the mask and attacking with the use of the Vermilion Bird Dharma Power… However, judging from the current situation, the dust had settled completely.

As for what would happen to Luo Qinghan subsequently, he was not worried.

Luo Qinghan herself was a victim.

Also, before separating from Luo Qinghan, he had already told her what to say after leaving. The head of the Tiansong Sect would not be able to take his anger out on her in any way.

…

“Sect Leader Yu!”

A middle-aged man dressed in gray traveled from afar as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, he came before the head of the Lightning Sword Sect, Yu Yucheng. “The three assistant Alliance Leaders have given a command for all sects to leave behind two Primordial Soul adepts to monitor the situation here. If anyone tries to leave the Guiyao planet, they must capture that person but not hurt them.

As for the Sect Leaders and the various Dharma disciples of the sects, they are to head southwards for the announcement of the final results and rankings of the Alliance Hunt.

Sect Leader Yu, please make the arrangements… I still have to inform the other Sect Leaders. I’ll take my leave first.”

The gray-robed middle-aged man came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

And after he left, Yu Yucheng immediately gave the command for the Summer Valley Head and the Winter Valley Head to stand guard here. He took the Spring Valley Head, the Autumn Valley Head and a group of Dharma disciples southwards to join the various Sect Leaders and Dharma disciples, where they would announce the final results and rankings of the Alliance Hunt.

“Little Junior Brother, what I said was correct, right? Once it’s time, someone will notify us to go over.”

He Mengxi smiled and looked at Zhou Donghuang.

Long before the gray-robed middle-aged man had appeared, when the Alliance Hunt was nearly ending, and the various sect disciples were still scattered across the Guiyao planet, Zhou Donghuang could not help but feel perplexed. How were the various sect disciples even going to take out their spoils for the announcement of the final results and rankings for the Alliance Hunt?

At the time, He Mengxi said that someone would notify them to go over.

Now, someone had indeed come.

When the three of them—Zhou Donghuang, He Mengxi and Da Zhuang—followed the troop of Lightning Sword Sect disciples southwards, in no time, they saw the crowd gathered in the distance. It was a grand sight of at least hundreds of people.

Furthermore, the number of people was continuously increasing.

By the time Zhou Donghuang and the other Lightning Sword Sect disciples reached the crowd, there were already more than a thousand people.

“Tiansong Sect Leader!”

Zhou Donghuang casually swept his eyes across his surroundings. Very soon after, he caught sight of the Tiansong Sect Leader, Huang Chunqiu standing not too far away. He was leading a group of people from the Tiansong Sect. Standing in the distance, the benign expression that was usually on his face now appeared gloomy beyond compare.

In the group of people from the Tiansong Sect he saw the two people whom he had deliberately let off a year ago on the Guiyao planet.

“Sect Leader, the people from the Jihan Sect are here!”

Just when Zhou Donghuang’s gaze had landed on the crowd of people from the Tiansong Sect, one of the Tiansong Sect disciples gazed into the distant sky and cried out in surprise to Sect Leader Huang Chunqiu.

Hearing this, Huang Chunqiu’s gaze immediately shot out like lightning.

At this moment, Zhou Donghuang also saw a row of people from the Jihan Sect. They were heading over here in a grand fashion, led by the Jihan Sect Leader, Meng Yuping. Luo Qinghan, who used to be at the very back of the group of people from the Jihan Sect was now trailing right behind Meng Yuping.

“Luo Qinghan!”

Huang Chunqiu vaulted into the sky as if he had transformed into a flash of lightning. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of the group from the Jihan Sect. He blocked Meng Yuping’s path and stared at Luo Qinghan behind her with an electrifying gaze.

“Who exactly was the one who killed my disciple Mo Yitian?” Huang Chunqiu asked in a low voice.

“Sect Leader Huang, don’t forget… Who was the real victim in front of your disciple, Mo Yitian!”

Although Meng Yuping and Huang Chunqiu had known each other for a long time and had some friendly ties with one another, it made her very angry when one of her Jihan Sect disciples was nearly disgraced in this incident. Her words were laced with an unfriendly tone. She no longer cared about her friendly ties with Huang Chunqiu.
