Immortality Cultivation Era

Chapter 198 It Is Not That We Don’t Want to But That We Can’t (5)

Daoyuan becomes so embarrassed.

He is standing in the hall with his head lowered, as quiet as a cicada in late autumn.

He doesn’t dare to gasp.

Master Guanshan coughs, saying, “Daoyuan, tell me. Where have Daotu and the rest of the people gone?”

“Grandmaster, well...”

“What? Are you ignoring me now?” Master Guanshan snorts before Daoyuan finishes his sentence.

“Grandmaster, of course I can tell you, but he...” Daoyuan darts a glance at Gao Ge subconsciously.

Master Guanshan says smilingly, “He saves my life. Now he is my apprentice. Doesn’t that make him a member of the Heaven School? Is there anything about the school that cannot be known by him?”

Master Guanshan has gradually showed his killing intent.

Having sensed the killing intent, Daoyuan shakes his head at once. He is aware that he is at the edge of enraging Master Guanshan. If he still thinks about something useless, he is asking for death. After all, he is about 70 or 80 years old and he can see that through.

Those who suit their actions to the times are wise.

Facing the grandmaster, Daoyuan says, “Grandmaster, you need to know that the Heaven School is in great trouble indeed. If we don’t handle it well, the school may be eliminated!”

Master Guanshan becomes even sterner at the words.

He has realized that the Heaven School is faced with some problems before he came here.

To his surprise, the situation has been so severe.

“Who is that?” Master Guanshan directly asks.

Daoyuan keeps silent again.

What surprises Gao Ge is that Master Guanshan doesn’t urge him to answer this time.

Yet, Gao Ge gets to understand why.

If Master Guanshan can handle those people, Daoyuan must be sobbing out the troubles now.

However, Daoyuan looks so embarrassed, which indicates that the people the Heaven School is facing are rather tough.

Even if he tells, he will only distress Master Guanshan. As grandmaster of the Heaven School, Master Guanshan cannot just stand by and do nothing but since he is not capable enough to handle the situation, he must feel headache.

“Tell me. I must learn about our enemies first regardless. Even if they are tough to cope with, we can make some preparation soon.”

Daoyuan takes a deep breath, saying, “Grandmaster, the enemies are rather powerful indeed. Moreover, we know very little about them by now. The only thing we know is that they come here with several companions and all of them are at the realm of Master.”

Hearing Daoyuan out, Master Guanshan is taken aback and even Gao Ge is so shocked.

Every time they send cultivators at the realm of Master to negotiate?

Since when the cultivators at the realm of Master become so commonly seen?

Anyone who hears this will feel astonished now.

It is so unbelievable!

“How is it possible?” Master Guanshan is even trembling while saying that.

If he were not seriously injured for 20 years, he might have new breakthrough.

Nevertheless, he has been lying in bed for 20 years. He may not be able to defeat a cultivator who has just reached the realm of Master.

He doesn’t even stand a chance when facing a group of people at the realm of Master.

“Since they are so capable, why do they come to make trouble for us?” Master Guanshan feels so perplexed, “Moreover, have some earth-shaking changes happened to the world over the past 20 years? Hence, there are so many strong cultivators that the realm of Master is no longer hard to achieve?”

Then, Master Guanshan becomes a bit wrathful, “If so, why are you still so weak? Daotu is better than you. At least he has reached the realm of Strength Exposure and he is one step away from the realm of Master, though he must make great effort in taking this step. What about you? Only the realm of Strength Protection?”

“Grandmaster, please don’t get angry. We are not slack at cultivation. Although great changes did happen to the earth, they have not been long.” Daoyuan says in a rush, “Only a small number of cultivators have reached the realm of Master in the world.

Master Guanshan doesn’t believe what Daoyuan said so he turns around to look at Gao Ge.

Gao Ge nods his head to show that Daoyuan is telling the truth.

Having his doubt testified, Master Guanshan feels slightly better.

Actually, he is not merely angry about the stagnation of Daoyuan and the others’ cultivation.

There is one more thing. He feels flurried.

It is like a millionaire suddenly finds that the world is full of millionaires and even a lot of billionaires.

The feeling of unevenness is rather unbearable.

“If there are not many cultivators at the realm of Master in the world, then how to explain those people’s cultivation...” Master Guanshan stays silent for moment, asking, “Are they from the Dragon Court?”

Speaking of the Dragon Court, he is respectful and fearful.

Everyone in the cultivation world feels the same way.

The Dragon Court is like a sword hung above the head of all the cultivators. Every cultivator must abide by the rules set by the Dragon Court. Of course, the rules aren’t too pushy for the cultivators.

Yet, if anyone dares to neglect the rules, the consequence will be very serious.

Master Guanshan has been over 200 years old and seen so many cultivators swollen with inordinate arrogance. These people were talented and had achieved high level of cultivation, but they were eliminated by the Dragon Court for doing misdeeds.

Even Gao Ge feels confused about what Master Guanshan said.

After all, according to Daoyuan, he can hardly imagine what organization else can be so powerful other than the Dragon Court.

It is unimaginable for anyone who hears this.

“They are not from the Dragon Court.” Daoyuan replies without even thinking.

Master Guanshan feels headache about Daoyuan’s firm reply.

“Since the enemies are so powerful, why don’t you tell the Dragon Court?” Master Guanshan says, “Even if the Dragon Court is on the opposite side of the cultivation world, they don’t hold a serious grudge regardless. As long as we tell them about it, the Dragon Court will not just look on with folded arms.”

Gao Ge also nods his head.

In light of his understanding on the Dragon Court, Master Guanshan has made a good point.

As long as the Heaven School asks for help, the Dragon Court will not leave it alone.

However, by now, the Dragon Court seems not intended to help at all.

“Grandmaster, it is not that we don’t want to but that we can’t...” Daoyuan says with a bitter smile.

Master Guanshan feels even more confused.

They want to but they can’t?

There is a lot of information behind that.

Master Guanshan asks, “Is it because you are threatened or monitored that you cannot turn to the Dragon Court?”

He cannot think of any reasons else other than that.

Daoyuan becomes silent.

He doesn’t know what to say again.

Gao Ge is so nervous right now.
