Chapter 2251 The State of Affairs in the Upper Province

The Sect Leader of Heaven Divination Sect had cruelly killed one of the successors of the Prophet Progeny, the Second Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect, three hundred years ago. That person was the Old Prophet’s senior brother.

Three hundred years later, the Old Prophet’s direct disciple had killed the Sect Leader of Heaven Divination Sect with the Heaven-Defying Art of Cursing to avenge her senior uncle.

Two hundred years ago, one of the Black Kshetra Sect elders and a Black Kshetra Sect disciple joined forces to kill the then-heir to the Red Dust Progeny, the Seventh Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect. That person was Han Xue Nai’s grandmaster.

That Black Kshetra elder from back then had become the Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect while the Black Kshetra Sect disciples had become one of the Karmapas, the White Tiger King.

Han Xue Nai had killed the Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect while Feng Tian Wu killed the White Tiger King in order to avenge the then-heir to the Red Dust Progeny who was killed two hundred years ago!

Five hundred years ago, a Heaven Divination Sect elder killed the then-heir to Dark Shadow Progeny, the Fourth Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect.

After that, the Heaven Divination Sect elder had become an oracle in the sect.

After five hundred years, that Heaven Divination Sect oracle was killed by Yue Wu Ying, the current heir to the Dark Shadow Progeny, the Fourth Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect.

As the saying went, ‘What comes around, goes around. If it hasn’t, it will.’

Based on this, one could see the Seven Absolutes Sect was settling the scores from a millennium ago.

In the past one thousand years, the Fire Worship Sect did not get into any conflict with the Seven Absolutes Sect. Therefore, no one from the Fire Worship Sect was targeted by the Seven Absolutes Sect.

“If we don’t settle the scores from a millennium ago, we would be ashamed to face our predecessors!” At some point, the Old Prophet rose to his feet. His cloudy eyes were bright and gleaming with determination.

“The Devil Clan’s invasion is nigh. For the greater good of mankind, the Seven Absolutes Sect will only settle the scores from a millennium ago. We will put all else aside until we’ve defeated the Devil Clans!” The Old Prophet’s words were the principles the Seven Absolutes Sect had to obey when they rejoined society. The members of Seven Absolutes Sect had to have a clear conscience!

The enmity from a millennium ago must be avenged! Other matters could be set aside until they had defeated the Devil Clans. This is all for the greater good of mankind.

If the disciples of the Seven Absolutes Sect had disregarded the greater good of mankind, then, Gu Li, the heir to the Kratos Progeny, the Third Absolute of the Seven Absolutes, and Nangong Chen and Nangong Yi, the heirs to the Didymus Progeny, the Sixth Absolute of the Seven Absolutes, would not have just defeated their opponents. With their strength, they were more than capable of killing their opponent. However, they had spared their opponents’ lives.

“However, we can’t let the masses misunderstand the kids… Use the Red Dust Progeny’s intelligence network and spread the word about how the Seven Absolutes Sect serves the greater good of mankind. Let people know that the members of the Seven Absolutes Sect have a clear conscience!” The Old Prophet said as he turned to look at the beautiful lady.

“That’s what I came to discuss with you,” the beautiful lady said before she hurriedly left in a graceful manner.

Soon after, news of people from the Seven Absolutes Sect were only settling the scores from a millennium ago began spreading in the Upper Province.

All the voices that had rebuked the Seven Absolutes Sect had quietened down immediately.

“As it turns out, that’s what happened… If that’s the case, I don’t think the disciples of Seven Absolutes Sect have done anything wrong!”

“I was confused previously. After all, a sect that Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang used to belong to shouldn’t be a sect that disregards the greater good of mankind. As it turns out, there’s an explanation for it.”

Yes. After all, enmity from a millennium ago is quite recent. If they don’t do anything about it, they would be ashamed to face their predecessors… I can understand why they acted the way they did.”

As news about the reason behind the Seven Absolutes Sect’s killing spree spread, the general opinion of the people in the Upper Province took a turn.

Initially, most of them had condemned Seven Absolutes Sect. However, now, they could understand the actions of the disciples from the Seven Absolutes Sect and why they had targeted the Black Kshetra Sect and Heaven Divination Sect.

Naturally, there were still some people who criticized the Seven Absolutes Sect. In their opinion, the Seven Absolutes Sect should temporarily set aside the enmity from a millennium ago and focus on the greater good first.

However, there was only a small minority of people who thought this way. Their voices were overwhelmingly drowned by others.

“So that’s why no one from the Seven Absolutes Sect attacked anyone in the Fire Worship Sect… As it turns out, they’re only settling scores from a millennium ago! In the past thousand years, the Fire Worship Sect didn’t kill anyone in the Seven Absolutes Sect even though we were hunting for them.”

At this time, many people in the Fire Worship Sect could not help but feel relieved.

Put aside the new disciples from the Seven Absolutes Sect who had just made their debut, the former heirs to the Prophet Progeny and the Blazing Phoenix Progeny, the Second and Fifth Absolutes of the Seven Absolute Sects, had given the high-ranking officials, excluding the sect leader, in the Fire Worship Sect a difficult time. After all, both of them were more than capable of killing powerhouses at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!

“Seven Absolutes Sect have hidden themselves for a hundred thousand years, it’s obvious they’ve returned prepared!”

“You’re right. Only a few disciples from the Seven Absolutes Sect had made their debuts, but they’ve caused such a huge commotion in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land… As soon as three female disciples appeared, they instantly entered the top twenty on the Supreme Saint Ranking.”

“Speaking of the female disciples from the Seven Absolutes Sect… The most terrifying one is still the heir to the Prophet Progeny, the Second Absolute in the Seven Absolutes Sect!”

“The heir to Prophet Progeny is extremely mysterious… All of the new heirs to the various progenies had announced their names except for her. She only mentioned she’s the heir of the Prophet Progeny, and she’s the direct disciple of the Old Prophet.”

“So mysterious… And she’s a Heaven-Defying Dao Cultivator… It’s better to avoid dealing with the current heir to the Prophet Progeny of the Seven Absolutes Sect!”

Similar remarks were circulating in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.

Based on their remarks, it was apparent the people from the Upper Province feared and dreaded the current heir to the Prophet Progeny in the Seven Absolutes Sect. This was because rumor had it that she was a Heaven-Defying Dao Cultivator who was suspected to be at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage or higher.

There was even a saying that popped up recently. ‘It’s better to anger the Grim Reaper than to anger the heir to the Prophet Progeny!’

This clearly showed how terrifying the current heir of the Prophet Progeny was!

Meanwhile, apart from the Fire Worship Sect that did not make any move, the Black Kshetra Sect and the Heaven Divination Sect were searching for the people from Seven Absolutes Sect. Naturally, they did not search for them just to capture them. They wanted revenge and to clean up their reputations. As two of the three great sects, what had been done by the Seven Absolutes Sect to them was a huge humiliation. Only the blood of the members from the Seven Absolutes Sect could wash away their humiliation!

Initially, the Black Kshetra Sect and the Heaven Divination Sect wanted to drag the Fire Worship Sect into this matter. They wanted the Fire Worship Sect to lend their strength to them to deal with the Seven Absolutes Sect.

However, Tang Xuan, the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect, was not stupid. He directly rejected the two sects’ proposal. What a joke! They were relieved that the people from the Seven Absolutes Sect did not target them. After all, the current Seven Absolutes Sect was different from the past. If they were not sure if they could annihilate them, it was better to leave them alone.

“Currently, all six heirs to six progenies of the Seven Absolutes Sect had shown themselves… The only one left is the heir to the Fog Rain Progeny, the First Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect!”

It did not take long for someone to realize this.

“It’s not in the Seven Absolutes Sect’s nature to make an appearance in such a high-profile manner. The last time it happened was during Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang’s time.”

“I’ve heard about that.”

“I once read about it in an ancient book. The Seven Absolutes Sect has a rule that the Seven Absolutes Sect would only make a huge appearance when the heir to the Fog Rain Progeny has appeared. If it’s true, this means the current heir to the Fog Rain Progeny, the First Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect, has appeared!”

“What kind of monster will the current heir to the Fog Rain Progeny be when the current heir to the Prophet Progeny is already so terrifying? According to the Seven Absolutes Sect’s tradition, the strongest person in the Seven Absolutes Sect is the heir to the Fog Rain Progeny!”

“The heir to Fog Rain Progeny, the First Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect! How exciting!”

Many people in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land were discussing the current heir to the Fog Rain Progeny, the First Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect

Naturally, the three great sects had heard the talks as well.

“Now that the Seven Absolutes Sect has appeared, they must have found the heir to the Fog Rain Progeny. It’s very likely that the current heir to the Fog Rain Progeny is the direct descendant of Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang!”

In the entire Upper Province, no one knew the Seven Absolutes Sect and the Fog Rain Progeny as well as the great sects. They were even more certain than the others that the Seven Absolute Sect had found the heir to the Fog Rain Progeny! Otherwise, the Seven Absolutes Sect would not appear in such an ostentatious manner!

“Based on what had happened so far, the heir to the Prophet Progeny, the Second Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect, is the strongest! Apart from that, you have to remember that the then-heir to the Prophet Progeny from a hundred thousand years ago was also a Heaven-Defying Dao Cultivator, but his cultivation base was the weakest among the heirs to the other progenies.”

“Yes. During that era, Feng Qing Yang, the then-heir to the Fog Rain Progeny, was the strongest. Second to Feng Qing Yang was the then-heir to the Kratos Progeny. The current heirs to the progenies of the Seven Absolutes Sect are really unpredictable.”

“There’s a possibility that the current heir to the Fog Rain Progeny is not even as strong as the current heir of the Prophet Progeny who’s a Heaven-Defying Dao Cultivator!”

You have a point.”

Similar remarks were heard among the high-ranking officials from the three great sects.

At this moment, none of them realized that the current heir to the Fog Rain Progeny, the First Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect, was someone they knew or had heard of!

All of these happened during the year Duan Ling Tian was away from the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.
