Chapter 127: Why Are You Going There?

"Marquis-level powerhouses?"

Li Xun furrowed his brows slightly.

Just now, Elder Chen had explained to him that in the Great Chu Dynasty, cultivators at the Divine Palace Realm could be granted the title of Duke, those at the Life and Death Realm could be titled Marquis, and those at the Divine Power Realm could be titled Count...

However, strength was only the foundation for obtaining a noble title. A more important factor was one’s contribution to the dynasty.

If their merits were insufficient, even a Divine Power Realm cultivator might not be granted the title of Count, and a Life and Death Realm cultivator might not necessarily become a Marquis.

Now, with numerous Marquis-level powerhouses taking action in the Great Chu Dynasty, it was clear that the dynasty was determined to obtain their target at all costs. Otherwise, why would they go to such lengths?

"Nephew Li, you don’t have to get involved in this mess," Elder Chen advised cautiously.

Li Xun’s current cultivation was only at the early stage of the Divine Power Realm—

Hmm?

Wait a moment.

Elder Chen’s expression shifted slightly as he gazed deeply at Li Xun with a hint of confusion. In just a short period, Li Xun had already advanced to the mid-stage of the Divine Power Realm.

This was simply bizarre.

Such cultivation speed was nearly comparable to that of young emperors from ancient times!

Could it be that their Profound Sun Sect had produced a young emperor of their own?

In the past, Elder Chen and the sect master had thought that if Li Xun could become a Saint in the future, it would bring glory to the Profound Sun Sect.

But now, seeing Li Xun’s rapid progress, Elder Chen couldn’t help but reconsider their initial assumption. Perhaps Profound Sun Sect hadn’t just produced a true dragon...

They might have an emperor in the making!

"Ahem."

Elder Chen cleared his throat to mask his awkwardness before continuing, "Although you have reached the mid-stage of the Divine Power Realm, venturing into a place like Yunzhou is still quite dangerous."

The waters in Yunzhou ran deep.

At any moment, a group of Life and Death Realm powerhouses could emerge from the shadows, and they would likely be ruthless and desperate.

With Li Xun’s current strength, if he went to Yunzhou, he might face grave danger.

In a place like Yunzhou, Profound Sun Sect’s influence was minimal. Only the names of the Great Zhou or Great Chu dynasties carried any real weight.

"Going there to broaden my horizons wouldn’t be a bad thing," Li Xun said with a smile. "After all, with so many powerful figures heading there, I might even meet some talented young geniuses to exchange pointers with."

"This..."

Elder Chen pursed his lips.

He understood that many young geniuses would indeed be participating in this endeavor because of Fa Zhao.

However, the problem was...

The young geniuses Li Xun was thinking of were not in the same league as him!

Li Xun’s peers should be individuals like Yao Feng and Ning Cheng.

Whereas people like Fa Zhao were on the same level as the Great Zhou Empire’s Crown Prince and Third Princess.

Each of them had cultivated for nearly a hundred years.

Their strength, at a minimum, was at the peak of the Divine Power Realm.

If they had slightly better talent and access to abundant resources, they might have already stepped into the Life and Death Realm, and not just the early stages—some might have survived six lightning calamities, or even seven, or perhaps the eight!

If Li Xun got involved with them, wasn’t he just looking for trouble?

"Nephew Li, are you sure about this?" Elder Chen asked with some concern.

"My mind is made up," Li Xun replied with a confident smile.

With so many people participating, if he didn’t go, he would be missing out.

Moreover, with such a large number of participants, conflicts were bound to arise.

And where there was conflict, injuries were inevitable.

At that point, wouldn’t it be the perfect opportunity for him to make investments?

Of course, a promising investment target didn’t necessarily have to be injured, but those who did get injured would most likely be potential investment opportunities.

After making so many investments, Li Xun had long realized that the stronger or more talented an individual was, the more intense the glow around them.

This time, those heading to Yunzhou included Marquis-level powerhouses from Great Chu, veteran geniuses from various sects, and even senior elders. Any one of them would be considered a blue-level investment opportunity. Was it too much for him to expect a return?

"Alright then," Elder Chen nodded with resignation and turned to leave.

After Elder Chen departed, Li Xun stood up and made his way to the study where his father, Li Wuyou, was.

"Are you preparing to leave?"

It was as if Li Wuyou had already anticipated this. He knew that his son was no ordinary person—whether in terms of strength or talent, Li Xun had far surpassed the limits of ordinary people.

The Great Zhou Empire was simply too small of a stage for him.

"I’m planning to go to Yunzhou," Li Xun nodded.

"Yunzhou?"

Li Wuyou frowned slightly. He had heard of that place—many sect traitors, after betraying their sects, would first choose to flee to Yunzhou.

"What are you going there for?"

"I’m going to complete a sect mission," Li Xun replied with a smile. He spoke softly, "Father, you needn’t worry about my safety. Elder Chen will be accompanying me, and with the Life and Death Realm puppet in my possession, I will be perfectly safe."

"If you’ve made your decision, then go ahead," Li Wuyou patted his son’s shoulder and sighed. "With me here, there’s no need to worry about matters at home."

"Farewell, Father," Li Xun cupped his hands respectfully and turned to leave.

Outside, Li Xun summoned his Royal Spirit Boat, stepped aboard, and with a flash of light, the vessel soared into the sky, vanishing into the horizon.

Not long after Li Xun’s departure...

Outside Tianyuan City, three figures emerged.

One of them, a short man with a stern expression, swept his gaze across the empty space and carefully sensed the surroundings before speaking in a deep voice:

"There are traces of a recent battle here. It seems that several Life and Death Realm powerhouses fought not too long ago, and some of them may have perished."

"Oh?"

A black-clothed elder’s eyes narrowed coldly. "A battle between Life and Death Realm cultivators? Elder Miao, do you think they were after the same target as us?"

If Li Xun were present, he would immediately recognize this black-clothed elder as none other than Elder Mo from the Beast Taming Sect.

"It’s a possibility we can’t rule out," Elder Miao replied solemnly. "That Li Xun of Profound Sun Sect made quite a few enemies in the Phoenix Origin Secret Realm. Some sects might want to eliminate him early, out of caution."

"Unfortunately, we’ve arrived a step too late. Had we been here earlier, we might have been able to intervene."

"Elder Mo," Elder Miao glanced at the black-clothed elder beside him and said, "I’ll have to trouble you to investigate within Tianyuan City. If Li Xun has already fallen, it saves us the effort."

"If he hasn’t, then we need to track him down."

"Understood," Elder Mo nodded.

Concealing his aura, he swiftly entered Tianyuan City.

It wasn’t long before he returned, his face heavy with concern.

"So soon?"

Elder Miao was slightly surprised.

Judging by Elder Mo’s quick return, it seemed he had merely taken a brief stroll around the city before coming back. Could he have possibly gathered any useful information in such a short time? 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Li Xun isn’t dead. Not only is he alive..."

Elder Mo spoke in a low tone.

"He killed a peak Divine Power Realm powerhouse."
