Feeling extremely light-hearted, Qin Wushuang knew that each person certainly had their own manner regarding how they conducted matters. And for someone like his teacher, surely he had his own intentions for his actions. Yet, from the bottom of his heart, he truly did not wish for his teacher to murder Old Man Ji Yin.
The Old Devil Ji Yin was someone in which Qin Wushuang hated from the bottom of his soul ever since he had entered the Upper Sky Realm. His act of willfully slaughtering innocents and vicious methods that had caused that catastrophic event at the Eastwood Town had inspired Qin Wushuang to become determined to kill him himself in order to console those deceased souls!
On the other hand, Emissary Liu said in a low voice: "Second Palace Master, that Old Devil Ji Yin has an unusually stubborn will. His compromise today was definitely not his true intentions, but in fear of your power. It was only a temporary compromise."
Tan Zhongchi said lightly: "How could he conceal his little mind games from me? Of course, I had my own considerations since I did not kill him. Currently, although my Great Luo Empire appears glorious on the surface, the real situation is somewhat complicated. In the past few hundred years, the talent pool of the empire has gradually devolved into a horrible situation where every generation is weaker than the previous ones. It is an extremely dangerous sign. In the Tian Xuan Land, the downfall of an empire has always started from the reduction in the talent pool. Next, this gap will gradually become bigger. Once other empires discovers this gap, they would use force against it. Under the circumstance where the empire is attacked from both inside and outside, it would turn into an even less favorable situation…"
Both Emissary Liu and Qin Wushuang become stunned. Since the Second Palace Master had told them about this highly confidential matter, of course, he had saw them as his trusted aides.
"For this martial arts student exam, the Great Luo Empire appeared to be the one hosting it. However, the truth is that it was conducted by the Star Gauze Palace. Since even the Star Gauze Palace had trouble in recruiting potential students, you can imagine the situation of the other powerhouses in the empire. The overall situation of the Great Luo Empire needs no explanation."
"Second Palace Master, the Palace has tens of thousands of students. There are thousands of Advanced Students, and close to hundreds of Core students, how could we possibly have a reduction in the talent pool?" Emissary Liu could not truly understand.
Second Palace Master smiled bitterly: "That’s it for the discussion of this matter. Any deeper and we will encroach on confidential information. Overall, to determine the rise and fall of a sect is not just by looking at the numbers. The crucial point is to look at the potential, especially the potential to become the most elite warrior!"
Emissary Liu nodded thoughtfully because, he had experienced this aspect. Throughout the building of a sect, in fact, most the students were only there for appearance. In the end, only those few highly talented people at the top would decide the fate of the sect. It all depended on them whether or not a sect would have a future.
Sometimes, the emergence of a super warrior from a sect could even directly place higher than his own sect with his strength alone.
Imagine it, regardless of the size of the talents in the sects, it was inevitable for them to bow down before a powerful warrior that had reached the Perfect Stage of the Spiritual Force.
Once the warrior at Perfect Stage made a move, you would still become cannon dust regardless of the number of Upper Sky Realm students you had.
In the stage of the Spiritual Martial Force, the attack from one hundred Initial Stage warriors would still be useless against someone at the Perfect Stage. Unless they escaped through different directions, they would not escape the fate of getting killed.
Thus, Tan Zhongchi had spoke his words from experience.
Emissary Liu nodded, then he asked: "This way, Second Palace Master had let that Old Devil Ji Yin go inconsideration of the overall situation in the Great Luo Empire."
"That’s right. The Old Devil Ji Yin may be vicious, ruthless and sly, yet in the Great Luo Empire, his strength is counted as a talent. It is one reason that killing him felt like a shame, but most importantly, if I had slaughtered the entire Ji Yin sect, it would surely create an uneasy atmosphere for the other powerhouses in the Empire. It would influence the stability of the Great Luo Empire. To kill or not to kill had a huge meaning behind it. The only exception was if that Old Devil Ji Yin asked to die himself, or else I had not truly intended to kill him today."
Suddenly, Emissary Liu said: "That the personal grudge between Marquis Wushuang and the Old Devil Ji Yin…"
Tan Zhongchi said: "That will come later. I had set a ten year promise. Within these ten years, for sure, the Old Devil Ji Yin would not dare to make a move. And after ten years, if Wushuang has demonstrated enough potential and strength, then of course he would have a say in the Star Gauze Palace. Whether to kill Ji Yin, at that time, he would have the power to make the decision."
Then, he said to Qin Wushuang: "Wushuang, ten years is my expectation for you. After ten years, if you can not surpass the Old Devil Ji Yin, then I would be disappointed."
Qin Wushuang immediately said: "I will work with my utmost effort, and I would not dare to betray your trust."
"Good! Good ambition, good man!" Tan Zhongchi laughed, "Enough with the chit-chat, let’s go to Star Gauze Palace immediately and to see the other Palace Masters. I will let them know that I did not make an empty trip and took in a very good student, haha."
Among the five Palace Masters, besides the absolute superiority from the Head Palace Mater, the remaining four still had some internal competition. They especially valued the growth of their students with great importance.
They would often fight and become flustered with anger when a good potential sprout appeared. For this trip, Tan Zhongchi had won this opportunity against the other Palace Masters with his brilliant words.
Fortunately, he had gained something on this trip. Or else, when he returned, he would become a laughingstock among the other Palace Masters.
