Why did Mi Xuan forbid Wu Hong Qing from interfering with the Solitary Destructive Heaven’s affairs? Why did he lie to Wu Hong Qing about making a pact with Feng Qing Yang?

Mi Xuan was worried Wu Hong Qing would learn the truth after visiting the Solitary Destructive Heaven. At that time, Wu Hong Qing would definitely like a coward after finding out how strong Duan Ling Tian had become.

Mi Xuan and Wu Hong Qing’s relationship was a mutually beneficial one. There was no friendship between them at all.

Mi Xuan was naturally dissatisfied that he alone expended so much effort dealing with Feng Qing Yang while Wu Hong Qing hid and enjoyed the fruits of his labor. Perhaps, he would have turned a blind to it if everything went well, but it did not, making him feel unhappy. Hence, he vented his frustration on Wu Hong Qing in such a manner. He knew Wu Hong Qing would return to the main Title Temple after listening to him and that Duan Ling Tian would definitely look for Wu Hong Qing in the main Title Temple.

In fact, Mi Xuan did not come to this decision on his own. Feng Qing Yang had fanned the fire previously.

At that time, Feng Qing Yang had said to him, “Mi Xuan, Wu Hong Qing was the one who told you about my return, right? You expended so much effort in the Solitary Destructive Heaven while Wu Hong Qing hid in the dark. You even suffered such a huge loss. Are you okay with doing all the work while he reaps the benefits? Why don’t you lie to him and make sure he returns to the main Title Temple? Previously, I told Duan Ling Tian to look for him there. I’m sure you’re not friends with Wu Hong Qing. Don’t you feel frustrated? You suffered so much because of my disciple, don’t you want to vent your frustration on Wu Hong Qing. He’s just an ant. I can crush him with just one finger. Even if he dies, it won’t affect you…”

Mi Xuan had already had such thoughts. Feng Qing Yang’s words only served to motivate him further. Hence, he quickly came up with a lie to deceive Wu Hong Qing.

At that time, when Feng Qing Yang saw how smoothly Mi Xuan had lied, he thought that Mi Xuan was far more insidious and vicious than he had imagined. He did not think he would be able to lie as well as Mi Xuan did.

At this moment, Mi Xuan smiled as though to himself, ‘Wu Hong Qing, don’t think you can just sit back and relax… I really wonder how you’ll react when you find out Duan Ling Tian’s already a Lord of Gods…’

With that, Mi Xuan’s mood improved greatly as he returned to the Land of the Dead.

…

Meanwhile, Wu Hong Qing, who was completely oblivious, confidently returned to the realm where the main Title Temple was located through a Transportation Formation in a Title Temple branch. He planned to rebuild the main Title Temple again.

When he arrived, he looked at the realm, which was completely devoid of life, with a gloomy expression. However, soon enough, a smile appeared on his face.

“To all of you who died, rest in peace. I’ve already gotten Mi Xuan to avenge all of you… The past is in the past. Now that Feng Qing Yang’s has been dealt with, there’s no need for me to dwell on the past. I should focus on rebuilding this place. The destruction isn’t too bad so it won’t take much effort for me to rebuild it…”

The main Title Temple’s damage was nowhere close to the damage that the Solitary Destructive Heaven’s Heavenly Emperor Palace suffered.

Wu Hong Qing summoned about a dozen people from one of the Title Temple branches over, and in less than half a month, the main Title Temple was as good as new.

Following that, Wu Hong Qing began to select people from the Title Temple branches to work in the main Title Temple. He even held what he called the Main Title Temple Grand Contest for the selection.

Many powerhouses from Title Temple branches across the Devata Realms, which included titled Celestial Emperors, gathered to participate in the contest. Many of the titled Celestial Emperors felt that this was a way for them to elevate their status. The ordinary Celestial Emperors, Celestial Kings, and Celestial Lords were no different.

Apart from that, outsiders were also allowed to participate.

The main Title Temple was sacred in the eyes of those from the Title Temple branches. Moreover, it was one of the strongest forces in the Devata Realms. Who would give up on a chance to join the main Title Temple?

The preliminary rounds were held in various Title Temple branches.

Needless to say, titled Celestial Emperors did not need to participate in the contest and could directly go to the main Title Temple. However, they naturally need to show their strength. The main Title Temple would test their strength to determine their positions.

At this moment, Wu Hong Qing was smiling after listening to his subordinate’s report. He said, “Very good. It seems like there are many talented powerhouses in the Title Temple branches…”

Wu Hong Qing could already imagine the main Title Temple returning to its glory again.

At this moment, Wu Hong Qing’s confidant, who was standing next to him, said, “Lord Temple Master, I heard that the Solitary Destructive Heaven’s Heavenly Emperor Palace was destroyed previously, and they’re rebuilding it now. Since you said Feng Qing Yang has fallen, should we…”

After that, Wu Hong Qing’s confidant made a slashing gesture at his neck.

Wu Hong Qing’s smile froze briefly upon seeing this. Then, he quickly adjusted his expression and said indifferently and coldly, “I know what to do. You don’t have to worry about this. Also, without my orders, no one is allowed to go to the Solitary Destructive Heaven and cause trouble! Otherwise, I’ll kill them without mercy.”

Upon hearing this, the people in the hall shuddered slightly as their expressions changed. They did not understand the reason behind Wu Hong Qing’s orders. After all, with Feng Qing Yang dead, what was there to be afraid of? The Solitary Destructive Heaven was now as vulnerable as a fish on a chopping board. Naturally, they did not dare to ask any questions.

After a moment, Wu Hong Qing waved his hand and said with a dark expression, “Alright, you can all leave if there’s nothing else.”

Everyone retreated one after another.

Wu Hong Qing naturally did not dare to do anything to the Solitary Destructive Heavens due to Mi Xuan’s threats. However, how could he tell his subordinates this? He would lose his prestige as the Temple Master of the main Title Temple if people knew about this. In their eyes, he was a powerful King of Gods!

‘Although I can do anything to the Solitary Destructive Heaven, it doesn’t mean that others can’t. Now that Feng Qing Yang is as good as dead, the strongest person is Meng Luo, the Heavenly Savage Celestial Emperor. Perhaps, after the Main Title Temple Grand Contest is over, I’ll find a titled Celestial Emperors stronger than Meng Luo to take over the Solitary Destructive Heaven’s Heavenly Emperor Palace as the new Heavenly Emperor. If Meng Luo and the others obediently follow the new Heavenly Emperor, I’ll let them live. Otherwise, I’ll kill all of them. I should start making arrangements for this. The fewer people know about this, the better…”

…

The Main Title Temple Grand Contest was very popular in the 81 Devata Realms.

There were countless participants participating in the preliminary rounds.

In just a blink of an eye, a year had passed.

At this time, the Title Temple branches had already selected their representatives with various cultivation bases and led them to the main Title Temple.

All that was left now was a few more tests. As long as they passed the first test, they would be able to join the main Title Temple. The second test would determine their position and status in the main Title Temple.

“I hope I can pass the first test! The second test doesn’t matter for now. As long as I can join the main Title Temple, my status will surely rise. No one will dare to underestimate mewhen I return to the Title Temple branch in the future!”

Many people shared this sentiment; this was especially true for young people.

Among the bustling crowd, a purple-clad young man stood quietly with an indifferent expression on his face. He was handsome, and his temperament and bearing were outstanding, garnering him the attention of many female cultivators. Most of the men looked at him with envious expressions on their faces.

At this time, the person standing next to the purple-clad young man looked at him with a hint of awe. He was Zhuang Tian Heng, the Branch Master of the Title Temple branch in the Dream Cycle Heaven.

Not too long ago, the purple-clad young man came looking for him and easily suppressed him. After Wu Hong Qing and several powerhouses in the main Title Temple, he was the strongest in the 81 Title Temple branches. After he was suppressed, it did not take long for him to discover that the young man was a Lord of Gods. He was shocked by his discovery. However, he was even more shocked when he heard the purple-clad young man say he was Duan Ling Tian.

In the past, Zhuang Tian Heng did not watch the Devata Realm Battle of the Geniuses because he was in closed-door cultivation. However, he knew the winner was a young man who was not even 1,000 years old and that young man’s name was Duan Ling Tian. How could he not be shocked when he found out that Duan Ling Tian had become a Lord of Gods in such a short time?

Back in the present, when Duan Ling Tian saw Zhuang Tian Heng looking at him, he said tonelessly, “Bring me to Wu Hong Qing.”

“Understood!” Zhuang Tian Heng responded respectfully. He quickly gave instructions to the vice branch master before he brought Duan Ling Tian away.

Many people frowned slightly when they saw Zhuang Tian Heng leading Duan Ling Tian away.

One young man said enviously, “What relationship does he have with the branch master? He just appeared not too long ago, and he spent most of his time in seclusion. Don’t tell me he’s the branch master’s illegitimate son?”

“Be quiet! Do you have a death wish?”
