My Wife Divorced me At the Start but I Gained a Billionfold Repayment System

Chapter 67: Qingfeng Sacred Land’s Counterattack

“Holy Lord, this disciple has something to say.”

At that moment, Feng Qingyu finally could no longer hold back. She stepped forward and cupped her hands in salute.

The Qingfeng Holy Lord was naturally no stranger to Lin Changkong’s disciple, so he asked, “Martial Niece Feng, is there something you wish to say?”

“Holy Lord, back then, Myriad Dao Academy once had a Saint Emperor undergo tribulation. Could that person have been Fu Qitian?”

Feng Qingyu was certain that Fu Qitian was inside Myriad Dao Academy, but for the sake of preserving her own innocence, she could not reveal too much information.

And as Feng Qingyu spoke, Gu Tiansheng beside her quickly echoed her words.

“That is right, Holy Lord. Three years ago, Myriad Dao Academy did indeed have a Saint Emperor undergo tribulation. It was most likely Fu Qitian. I hope the Holy Lord will go to Myriad Dao Academy and investigate the truth.”

By the end, Gu Tiansheng’s tone carried a faint gritting of teeth.

That was because he had discovered during his investigation that Feng Qingyu had gone to Myriad Dao Academy and was injured there.

If not for Myriad Dao Academy’s strength, he would have long since charged over there to avenge her.

But it was still not too late. As long as the Holy Lord agreed to move against Myriad Dao Academy, then he could follow along and take revenge for Feng Qingyu when the time came.

Listening to the two of them, the Qingfeng Holy Lord thought it over and found that their reasoning was not without merit.

After all, Fu Qitian’s breakthrough to the Saint Emperor Realm could not possibly have caused only a minor disturbance. The Saint Emperor who had broken through within Myriad Dao Academy back then fit the conditions perfectly.

It was just that Myriad Dao Academy had sealed the news extremely well at the time. Even the mighty experts who had come to witness the Saint Emperor tribulation were unable to see that Saint Emperor’s true face.

“Second Patriarch, Third Patriarch, then I will trouble the two of you to make a trip to Myriad Dao Academy.”

“Yes, Holy Lord.”

The Second Patriarch and Third Patriarch accepted the order and were about to depart.

But at that moment, Gu Tiansheng hurriedly spoke up and said, “Holy Lord, this disciple requests permission to go as well!”

“No. You are the Holy Son of Qingfeng Sacred Land. This matter is far too dangerous. You absolutely cannot go.”

Before he could finish, the Qingfeng Holy Lord rejected him without the slightest hesitation.

Qingfeng Sacred Land had only just managed to find a disciple with a Divine-Grade Spiritual Root. How could he possibly allow Gu Tiansheng to place himself in danger?

He was still planning to let Gu Tiansheng astonish the world at the Tiansheng Grand Tournament nine years from now.

“But—”

Gu Tiansheng still wanted to insist, but the Qingfeng Holy Lord cut him off without hesitation.

“There is no ‘but.’ Your most urgent task is to cultivate diligently and seize first place at the Tiansheng Grand Tournament in nine years.”

“As far as I know, there are quite a few excellent seedlings in this Tiansheng Grand Tournament. There may even be Saint Monarchs among them.”

By the end of his sentence, the Qingfeng Holy Lord’s expression had turned especially grave.

A Saint Monarch who was only five hundred years old was, at the very least, almost always someone with an Immortal-Grade Spiritual Root or higher. It could be said that Ascension for such people was virtually guaranteed.

However, the Qingfeng Holy Lord was equally full of confidence in a Divine-Grade Spiritual Root.

In the long history of the Tiansheng Continent, there had once appeared three individuals with Divine-Grade Spiritual Roots. Every one of them had Ascended to the Immortal Realm after cultivating for only a little over a hundred years.

It could be said that, so long as Gu Tiansheng cultivated properly, winning first place in the Tiansheng Grand Tournament nine years from now would not be a problem at all.

“I understand, Holy Lord. But I have one request. After I seize first place in the Tiansheng Grand Tournament, I hope the Holy Lord will bestow marriage upon Qingyu and me.”

As he said this, Gu Tiansheng gazed at Feng Qingyu with deep affection.

Faced with such a request from a genius with a Divine-Grade Spiritual Root, the Qingfeng Holy Lord naturally would not refuse. He did not even ask Feng Qingyu for her opinion before nodding in agreement.

“Holy Lord, you have not yet asked for my opinion.”

At that moment, Feng Qingyu suddenly spoke up. She looked at the Qingfeng Holy Lord without the slightest fear.

“Oh? And what opinion does Martial Niece Feng have?”

The Qingfeng Holy Lord raised a brow slightly and looked at Feng Qingyu as he asked.

In his view, Feng Qingyu would never refuse. After all, Gu Tiansheng was already handsome and talented, with limitless prospects ahead of him, and he was also wholeheartedly devoted to Feng Qingyu. She had no reason to reject him.

“As the ancients said, marriage follows the will of one’s parents and the words of the matchmaker. Qingyu’s parents are no longer alive, so naturally, matters of marriage are to be decided by my master. I will listen to my master.”

Feng Qingyu directly kicked the problem over to her master. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

As long as her master spoke and agreed, then she could accept it openly and properly.

If she were to agree right now, it would only make Gu Tiansheng think that she was a frivolous woman.

Hearing this, the Qingfeng Holy Lord waved a hand and directly summoned Lin Changkong.

However, Lin Changkong’s aura was still weak at the moment. He had not yet passed the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, and the one upon him now was the Decay of Fortune.

“Greetings, Holy Lord!”

After arriving, Lin Changkong respectfully cupped his hands toward the Holy Lord.

“Mm. Second Elder, the Holy Son wishes for this Holy Lord to bestow marriage upon him and Martial Niece Feng after he takes first place in the Tiansheng Grand Tournament. What are your thoughts on this?”

The Qingfeng Holy Lord got straight to the point.

Lin Changkong froze for a moment when he heard this. Only after glancing at Feng Qingyu did he finally speak in agreement.

“The Holy Son and my disciple are well-matched in talent and appearance. I believe this marriage may be granted.”

“In that case, this matter is settled. Second Patriarch, Third Patriarch, the two of you are to take an Immortal Artifact and head to Myriad Dao Academy at once to capture Fu Qitian.”

“If Xu Ruoshan dares to interfere, then tell him to come and see me personally!”

Only after settling the matter of the marriage did the Qingfeng Holy Lord look toward the Second Patriarch and Third Patriarch and continue.

Because he had already learned that Fu Qitian also wielded an Immortal Artifact, the Qingfeng Holy Lord did not dare take the matter lightly. He ordered the Second Patriarch and Third Patriarch to bring an Immortal Artifact with them as well.

In the next instant, the Second Patriarch and Third Patriarch vanished, hurrying toward Myriad Dao Academy.

But just then, both the Qingfeng Holy Lord and Lin Changkong sensed something. Their expressions changed abruptly as they looked toward the direction of Myriad Dao Academy.

“What a terrifying aura. That direction—is that Myriad Dao Academy? Has someone from Myriad Dao Academy broken through to the Saint Emperor Realm again?”

The Qingfeng Holy Lord’s expression turned grave. It had not even been ten years, yet Myriad Dao Academy had produced another Saint Emperor. Combined with Fu Qitian’s possession of an Immortal Artifact, the Qingfeng Holy Lord could not help but suspect that Myriad Dao Academy had obtained some Immortal inheritance.

But he did not think too much of it. With the Second Patriarch and Third Patriarch moving together, even if Myriad Dao Academy had truly obtained an Immortal inheritance, it would still be absolutely impossible for them to contend against two Patriarchs at the Peak of the Saint Emperor Realm.

The Qingfeng Holy Lord was extremely confident in this.
