Kan Hao Si looked at Xia Feng, who appeared calm and unhurried, and his heart was overcome with a tumultuous wave.
He intensely suspected that Xia Feng also possessed the cultivation of the Great Perfection of the Divine Venerable realm.
If not for that level of cultivation, how could the Lord of Ten Thousand Nether be so polite? Crucially, he couldn't discern Xia Feng's cultivation base.
Considering these two points, it seemed Xia Feng was indeed at that level.
Simultaneously, Kan Hao Si's estimation of Xia Feng soared, and he shed his previous dismissive attitude.
He was simply curious; when did such an incredible young man appear in the Divine Realm?
After everyone was seated, Kan Hao Si spoke first, discussing some trivial matters of the Divine Realm. Then, a Goddess Venerable stood up and said, "Esteemed Divine Venerables, my Moon Lotus Sect has been repeatedly harassed by the Li Mo in recent years. I implore everyone to assist in jointly eliminating him and seeking justice for the Moon Lotus Sect."
The Moon Lotus Sect's location was very close to the Demon Race. This Li Mo was a Demon cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Divine Venerable realm, who frequently engaged in predatory acts.
Any woman captured by him would first endure a few days of torment before being killed and consumed.
This was utterly depraved. The Sect Master of the Moon Lotus Sect, Lian Yue Ting, was no match for Li Mo, forcing the Moon Lotus Sect to remain within the sect's protective formations.
However, one couldn't perpetually hide within the sect. Anyone venturing outside was easily captured by Li Mo.
Previously, Lian Yue Ting had brought up this matter, and everyone had gone to the Moon Lotus Sect to set a trap for three years. But Li Mo was like a dog; he could smell their presence. For those three years, no matter how female disciples were used as bait, Li Mo never appeared.
The Eight Great Divine Venerables had once laid a heavenly net, waiting for Li Mo's appearance, but Li Mo was too cunning.
After that incident, everyone ceased visiting the Moon Lotus Sect.
It wasn't a lack of willingness to help, but an inability to do so.
"Divine Venerable Lian, we have been there before, and it was futile. We cannot help with this matter. Li Mo is a demon cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Divine Venerable realm. Without thorough preparation, we cannot suppress him. Reckless action might lead to the loss of several of us, without causing him any harm," one Divine Venerable explained, standing up.
There was nothing wrong with his statement; he was speaking the truth.
After all, the opponent was at the Great Perfection of the Divine Venerable realm. In a life-or-death struggle, their side would lose at least three individuals.
If it wasn't their concern, why would anyone risk their life?
Participating in the ambush and waiting for three years at the Moon Lotus Sect was already considered utmost benevolence.
From their perspective, they had indeed done their best.
They couldn't possibly be permanently stationed at the Moon Lotus Sect, nor could they fight to the death for them. This was simply impossible.
Having finally reached the pinnacle as one of the strongest in the Divine Realm, they cherished their lives more than anyone.
Lian Yue Ting knew their reasoning was sound and sighed inwardly with helplessness.
"Sect Master Lian, we advised you to relocate your sect before, but you refused. You insisted on staying, and now you lose disciples each year. You are bringing this upon yourself," Bu Chang Qiu said, somewhat bewildered. If you're unwilling to relocate and can't resolve the problem, then perhaps offer a few female disciples each year as tribute to Li Mo.
After all, with so many people in the sect, losing a few individuals annually wouldn't matter.
"Divine Venerable Bu, I too have my unspoken hardships. If we were to leave the sect, the Moon Lotus Sect would be unable to cultivate. I don't fear telling you that within our sect, there is an ancient well that can absorb the essence from the moon, greatly enhancing cultivation. Furthermore, it is only effective for female cultivators."
Lian Yue Ting explained, adding at the end that it was only effective for female cultivators.
"Divine Venerable Lian, I've mentioned this to you before. With so many female cultivators in your sect, why not form marital alliances with our sects? Everyone could protect you," one of the Divine Venerables joked after hearing this.
After all, men's desire for women was an instinctive reaction.
"Cease your nonsense," Lian Yue Ting's face darkened with displeasure.
While play and jest were acceptable, one should not trifle with one's person.
"Forget it, I won't go this time. Besides, going would be useless," the Divine Venerable who had first spoken waved his hand and was the first to refuse.
"I won't go either," another said.
With two people speaking up, four or five others successively declared their refusal to participate.
Now that four or five people had stated they wouldn't go, others certainly wouldn't either, as going would be pointless.
Without sufficient numbers, there would be no capability to subdue Li Mo, and they might even be killed by him.
After all, this was the Moon Lotus Sect's issue. Who would gratuitously risk their life for them?
While a few were conversing, Xia Feng transmitted a message to Zhang San Feng, asking, "Who is this Li Mo?"
"A cultivator from the Demon Race, a scoundrel who preys on women," Zhang San Feng replied via transmission.
Preying on women was understandable; everyone was the same in that regard.
However, the methods were somewhat inhumane. Had the Demon Race run out of women?
Even if he were from the Demon Race, with his status as a Great Perfection of the Divine Venerable, he could undoubtedly find many human women. But to engage in such forced predatory acts was certainly unacceptable.
"What about this Moon Lotus Sect? Is it worth helping?" Xia Feng asked, acting on a whim.
What the others perceived as Li Mo being untraceable, would be instantly revealed once Xia Feng arrived.
"A sect of women. Apart from their Sect Master's stubbornness, everyone else is fine. It's worth helping," Zhang San Feng explained.
"Very well, I'll go take a look then. You all have nothing to do after the meeting anyway," Xia Feng transmitted back.
"Good. I'll accompany you then. I want to witness the true extent of a Divine Emperor's cultivation," Zhang San Feng was very interested in Xia Feng's strength.
More precisely, he wanted to see how powerful a Divine Emperor truly was.
After all, witnessing a Divine Emperor's actions might lead to significant insights.
"Certainly. After this matter is resolved, I'll share some cultivation insights with you. Once you break through to the Great Perfection of the Divine Venerable realm, I'll teach you how to master rule power," Xia Feng nodded slightly upon hearing this.
Zhang San Feng was deeply moved by this, akin to receiving a master's guidance.
If not for the presence of so many people, Zhang San Feng would have risen again to perform a great salute.
"Thank you," Zhang San Feng expressed his sincere gratitude.
"It's nothing. We all come from the same place, belong to the same lineage. This is what I should do," Xia Feng didn't mind at all.
Zhang San Feng himself was a person worth befriending, and he also wished to see Zhang San Feng become a Divine Emperor.
But becoming a Divine Emperor was not an easy feat. Even with Xia Feng's guidance, the opportunity remained slim.
Mastering rules was equivalent to possessing a ticket to opening up new worlds.
After the two of them had made their arrangements, Xia Feng looked at Lian Yue Ting, who was still pleading for help, and said, "Sect Master Lian, since they are not going, I will make a trip. I will resolve the Li Mo for you."
As soon as Xia Feng's words were uttered, everyone turned to look at him.
You can resolve it?
Are you dreaming?
