Terran Guardian - Chapter 4074

Chapter 4049: If this child is not killed, he will surely become a great threat!

The words of the Great Sage of Nanhua silenced the other cultivators.

They understood the reasoning!

But the real problem was how to kill Shen Changqing.

If they could mobilize the power of a top-tier Half-Saint, or even a Half-Saint above, suppressing him would be no problem.

But now—

under the Dao Venerable’s rules, only Half-Saints below the Seventh Tribulation could intervene.

More importantly,

the Dao Venerable was watching closely; anyone who dared to break the rules would face dire consequences.

Therefore,

killing Shen Changqing was far from easy.

Now,

they had to admit that

Shen Changqing’s monstrous talent was far more terrifying than any other prodigy they had ever heard of.

If one day he truly broke through to the Saint Realm, or even entered the Great Saint Realm, their chances of contending with him would be extremely slim.

There was also

the fact that his cultivation was too rapid.

In less than a Celestial King Era, he had risen from a mere ancient immortal ascending from a lower realm to his current Half-Saint Realm.

If given one or two eons of time, breaking through to the Saint Realm, or even reaching the Great Saint Realm, wouldn’t be entirely impossible.

A prodigy!

They often defy conventional judgment.

Most semi-saints waste billions of years without even taking a single step forward.

Even they themselves have cultivated to their current level over countless eons.

But for a genius like Shen Changqing, breaking through cultivation is as easy as eating and drinking.

No one can be certain how far he will go if given one or two eons of time.

They dare not gamble!

Therefore, the only solution is to nip him in the bud beforehand.

With this thought in mind…

A Great Sage from the Great Yan Immortal Court transmitted his voice, “Fellow Daoist Nan Hua, what’s your plan?”

“It’s simple. This boy didn’t set up a life-or-death arena. Now that a Dao

Venerable is in charge, we must act according to the rules. I don’t believe his strength alone can truly sweep through our Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands.

If one Half-Saint can’t kill him, then two will; if two can’t, then three!”

Hearing this ,

the other powerful figures finally understood the other’s intention. A war

of attrition!

A relentless, costly war of attrition!

To wear him down on the arena.

However,

if they were to do this, the reputation of the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands would be completely ruined in front of everyone.

After all, as the supreme power of Shenfeng Prefecture, to be so reckless in dealing with a newly promoted Half-Saint would be a disgrace.

Normally, it wouldn’t matter.

Shenfeng Prefecture revered them, and even if the news spread, it wouldn’t have much impact.

Besides, the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm is so vast, who would care about dealing with a mere half-saint in the Divine Wind Continent?

But things are different now.

The Crimson Jade Dao Palace incident has brought together powerful figures from the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

Countless forces from the three thousand six hundred Immortal Continents have appeared.

If the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands were to do this, they would inevitably become a laughingstock among other forces.

However, the words of the Great Sage of Nanhua forced them to think deeply. Shen Changqing’s strength is undeniable

; perhaps this is the only way to kill him. Of course, if possible, they wouldn’t even agree to Shen Changqing’s rules. Or rather, they could change these rules, from those above the seventh tribulation to those below the eighth tribulation, or even those below the saint level. But unfortunately, it’s too late now. Shen Changqing’s strength is clearly not comparable to an ordinary sixth-tier half-saint; to kill him, they can only resort to extraordinary means. As for saving face, it’s not something unworthy of being abandoned. Just as the various forces remained silent, the Great Sage of Nanhua transmitted his voice again. “Gentlemen,” the Great Sage of Nanhua said, “hesitation leads to disaster. Have you all forgotten what happened in the Divine Sun Domain? If we had made our decision earlier, this boy would never have come to this. Letting him escape now will surely bring endless trouble in the future. As for saving face, it’s insignificant compared to the threat he poses. Even if we lose some face, so what? Years from now, who will remember what happened today!” The Great Sage of Nanhua’s words completely solidified the resolve of all forces. Kill! They would stop at nothing to kill Shen Changqing here! Since the other party had the protection of a Dao Venerable, they would kill him according to the rules of a Dao Venerable. At that time, even if that Tai Xuan Sword Venerable had any dissatisfaction, he couldn’t use it to turn against them. After all, they were acting according to the rules, so the other party had no reason to turn against them. After all, if Jiang Daoxuan really turned against them, it would be tantamount to declaring war on the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands, which would have a completely different meaning. Understanding this, the powerful figures from all sides no longer hesitated and directly used communication jade talismans to send the message back. Immediately afterwards, they summoned all the present half-saints to their presence to explain the next steps. On the side of the Divine Sun Immortal Court, the Great Sage Nanhua looked at the six half-saints before him and said, “If Shen Changqing doesn’t die, he will surely cause endless trouble. You are all half-saints of my Divine Sun Immortal Court, receiving the king’s bounty, and should naturally share the king’s worries!” Hearing this, the other half-saints’ expressions became much more solemn. “Great Sage Nanhua, please speak frankly!” “Once the Celestial Phenomenon Demon Court is defeated, you should directly attack and do your utmost to kill Shen Changqing. Even if you cannot kill him, perhaps you can weaken his strength as much as possible, buying time for the subsequent half-saints to act. In any case, Shen Changqing must die in this battle.”

The Great Sage of Nanhua’s expression was resolute, and his words caused the faces of the assembled half-saints to shift repeatedly.

It was clear to everyone that Shen Changqing’s strength was inferior to Yun Lie’s among these half-saints. To

actually fight him would most likely be suicide

. But now that the Great Sage of Nanhua had spoken, they had no choice but to accept, leaving them conflicted.

Seeing their hesitation, the Great Sage continued, “If you die in battle, your descendants will receive resources from the Celestial Court.

No matter the cost, the Celestial Court will at least cultivate a half-saint for your clan.

If you can kill Shen Changqing, the Celestial Court will definitely provide a large amount of cultivation resources to help you break through to the Saint realm.”

The Great Sage of Nanhua directly offered this temptation, causing the other half-saints’ eyes to flicker.

If this battle was unavoidable, then securing some opportunities for their descendants was a good thing.

At least—

they couldn’t die in vain.

And…

what if…?

If Shen Changqing’s strength had been greatly diminished in the previous battles, and they could truly kill him, it would be an incredible opportunity.

Therefore, they were naturally willing to take the gamble.

Seeing the changes in the expressions of the several half-saints, the Great Sage of Nanhua added,

“Moreover, this battle is not just your doing. The remaining forces of the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands are all pouring out their full half-saint resources to try and kill Shen Changqing.

This time, each of our forces will take turns sending one half-saint. If you are lucky enough, your chances of killing Shen Changqing are not low!”
