Chapter 6118: The Bowstring’s Limit

“You are right, Senior.” Transcendent spoke: “But our dynasty has the right to exert rules over Sin.”

This was true historically - Immortal Suppression has always been the strongest dynasty in Sin. None had truly shaken its foundation; challengers were all eliminated including Enigma. If others had to bet, they would bet on Immortal Suppression winning again.

“There is a limit to the bowstring, and an arrow cannot be taken back once fired.” Tranquility said: “Today, everyone is here for this grass.”

Having said that, he reached for the Darkmoon Heaventouch Lifegrass.

“Buzz.” The defensive seals erupted and shot out laws toward his palm. They were enough to overwhelm emperors and make others tremble.

However, his noble aura was unshakable. It endured the laws, allowing him to uproot the grass and bring it outside.

He took down the berry capable of healing injuries and handed it to Yangrune Emperor. The rest of the grass was given to Endlaw Emperor.

“We only need this berry, the rest is for Enigma.” He generously gave the other two highly-coveted berries to the enemies.

Given his power and status, he could compete against anyone. However, he always chose humility and peace. No one else in the world shared the same virtues.

“Thank you, Senior.” Endlaw bowed to show respect.

“The dao is endless, no need to fight to the death over this.” Tranquility said before telling his group: “Let’s leave.”

Yangrune and Bloodsparrow followed him without question.

Transcendent smiled and told Chu Zhu: “Fellow Daoist, let’s spar another day. You all should leave to avoid another confrontation.”

“Very well, we shall stop out of respect for Senior Tranquility’s generosity.” Chu Zhu said.

Both groups obeyed Tranquility and finally left the market. In reality, Tranquility’s side certainly had the upper hand in the contest yet he kept one berry and gave the other two away.

“It would be nice if Tranquility Emperor were still in charge.” Many big shots became sentimental.

Unfortunately, times were changing with the rise of capable emperors such as Transcendent. His pacifistic stance wouldn’t have been respected permanently.

Most importantly, Immortal Suppressor didn’t share the same kindness to other cultivators and mortals.

“It’s all in the past, Tranquility Emperor will most likely leave Sin.” An emperor sighed.

Immortal Suppression Dynasty had shown enough patience. The behemoth wouldn’t want to play nice forever and let other powers develop unceasingly and challenge their sovereignty.

With their departure, only Six-style Emperor was left in the temple, awaiting Li Qiye’s return.

“Buzz.” Li Qiye teleported and appeared before her.

“Young Noble.” She happily greeted him.

He glanced at the temple and was no longer interested. He said: “We’re going to Money Temple now.”

“To get some ghost coins?” She asked.

“No, just meeting someone.” Li Qiye shook his head.

“The temple lord.” She understood.

The two went to the most popular temple in the forest. The creepiness factor was subdued; visitors thought they were coming to a temple worshipping the deities of wealth in the mortal world.

Li Qiye entered the main hall through a secretive passage not available to most visitors. Inside the hall was a statue depicting an old man with a long beard sitting down.

He wore a simple robe but looked on the verge of ascending. The gourd tied to his waist seemingly contained panacea prepared to save mortals.

“Hmm, this must be Money Temple Lord.” Six-style said.

Li Qiye took out the pendant found in Heavenfall and compared it to another found on the statue.

“They’re identical.” Six-style became startled and speculated: “He was one of the culprits?”

Upon thinking about it again, she thought it wasn’t the case.

“No, just the spectator who was there.” Li Qiye said: “So that’s what happened.”

“Come out, don’t just stay in there.” He then said with a serious expression.

A figure separated from the statue and smiled wryly: “Nice to meet you, Sir.”

“It’s you!” Six-style was surprised after seeing the face of the person jumping down from the statue.
