âLongshan Shui, I donât need to explain myself to the likes of you!â Longshan Yan grew irritated at his brotherâs accusation. Heâd been in high spirits and couldnât wait to announce the arrival of a Nihil World Sovereign to everyone, but that good mood was shattered and his temper roused after this run-in with Longshan Shui.
There was no trace of a subservient attitude to be found now. He was the second strongest within Dragonmountain Clime, his cultivation strength below only his fatherâs! It wasnât for no reason that heâd been given jurisdiction over the family vaults and library.
The Longshans were the masters of Dragonmountain Clime, just and noble, protectors of the countless life forms within a world. However, shadows loomed behind the light and whatever the Longshans couldnât conduct, Longshan Chi would finish.
The Darkwind Clime that Longshan Chi was from was filled with demons and depravity. At the same time, Longshan Yan had subdued it long ago and that clime was now under the Longshan banner.
Longshan Yan had completed this in an extremely covert manner, so none was the wiser for it.
Meanwhile, Longshan Chi was the way in which Longshan Yin controlled Darkwind Climeâhe wielded the entire climeâs power through the adoptee. Longshan Chiâs demonic nature, however, proved too hard to tame and he often did the unexpected. He constantly schemed against Longshan Yan, wanting to break free of the latterâs control.
That was why heâd summoned Longshan Yanâs replica when Lu Yun chased after him, wanting to borrow someone elseâs hand to kill Longshan Yan.
Unfortunately for him, heâd set his sights on the wrong person. Lu Yun could sense Longshan Yanâs emotions and the latter had demonstrated extreme humility, thus decreasing Lu Yunâs desire to take the two to task for their trespasses.
Longshan Yan and Longshan Chiâs relationship was their business, Lu Yun couldnât be bothered to become involved.
âLongshan Yan!!â Longshan Shui flew into a range at his brotherâs response.
âOh shove it,â Longshan Yan sneered. âIâm warning you, Iâve sealed off the entire treasury. Whoever dares come within half a step of it will die, including you, my big brother!â
He walked up to Longshan Shui and patted the otherâs face, thenâ
Domineering ripples blasted from his body, sending an unprepared Longshan Shui flying off into the distance. Other family members and servants looked incredulously at Longshan Yan.
âWorld Manifest!! No, youâre not a World Manifest yet, but youâve broken through the true nihil realm and youâre infinitely close to World Manifest!â Longshan Shui struggled to his feet and gaped at his younger brother.
âThatâs right, Iâm a half step World Manifest.â A noncommittal Longshan Yan stood with his hands behind his back. âWhen father breaks through to Void World King, I will officially set foot into the ranks of World Manifest and rule Dragonmountain Clime on his behalf!
âOur clime will dominate the entire plane then and become a true sovereign!â
He subconsciously thought of Lu Yun when he declared these sentiments in ringing tones, but he couldnât remember the great oneâs appearance no matter how he tried. Such was the strength of a Nihil World Sovereign.
Ordinary beings were unable to recall the appearance of such august personages, and Longshan Yan grew more assured when his thoughts traveled here.
He would never dare speak like this if there was only one Void World King and World Manifest within his faction. But with a Nihil World Sovereign holding down the fort, he wasnât just blowing hot air.
âLongshan Shui, you can dismiss the disorderly rabble that youâve summoned,â he said faintly to his elder brother.
âDisorderly rabble??â Longshan Shui jerked his head up at his kin. âDo you have any idea who Iâve invited?? Theyâre all true heavyweights of the plane and bonafide World Manifest cultivators!â
âWhat?!â Longshan Yan blinked and denounced angrily, âYouâve welcomed other World Manifests into Dragonmountain Clime?! Thatâs ushering the wolf into the hen house!â
âUshering the wolf into the hen house?â Longshan Shui struggled up from the ground. âThree World Manifests have come to protect father, not even that Revered Rednote will find us an easy target!â
Revered Rednote was a World Manifest within their local plane. He had a deep grudge with Longshan Yin and would surely pay them an unwelcome visit in the coming days.
âThree World Manifests?!â Longshan Yan shook from fury. âYou, youâve, youâve brought in so many World Manifests?!â
âThatâs right!â Longshan Yin sneered. âYouâre not the only one whoâs been building his network these years, Iâve also befriended many experts! The esteemed Three Brahmas are some of the friends Iâve made in the plane!
âLongshan Yan, I donât care about the other things in the treasury, but the three esteemed ones have their eye on the three Radiant MoonpearlsâŠâ
âThree Brahmas?! They can fuck off right with you!â Longshan Yan almost spat a mouthful of saliva as he waved a sleeve and sent his brother flying again.
Longshan Shui howled with outrage, but he was no match for Longshan Yan and could only passively take the beating. Meanwhile, Longshan Yan was almost apoplectic with anger. If it wasnât for the fact that Longshan Shui was his elder brother and the firstborn of his father, he would slap the idiot to death on the spot!
Thank goodness heâd brought back a Nihil World Sovereign! If not, Dragonmountain Clime would soon belong to those three! According to what Longshan Yan had received from Darkwind Clime, those three were best friends with Revered Rednote!
How would they possibly help Longshan Yin against their good friend?
Longshan Yan abruptly changed his plans. The Three Brahmas were likely coming to help their friend against Longshan Yin. Surely there were also many other enemies hidden in the dark, just waiting to deliver a lethal blow to Longshan Yin.
If the world sovereign simply scared them off before they had a chance to take action, it would be very difficult to root them out in the future. Anyone who dared set themselves against Dragonmountain Clime had to pay the price!
I just wonder what that venerable world sovereign is like⊠Though he seems to think highly of me, but⊠Longshan Yan started fretting again.
âHahaha!!â Lu Yunâs voice suddenly reverberated in his mind. âDo whatever youâd like to do! Just let me know when you do it. Your treasury and library is a good place, a fine place indeed!!â
He was delighted and had obviously noticed the happenings outside.
âUnderstood! Will do! Thank you, most venerable world sovereign!â Longshan Yan beamed happily.
