"How does the Dragon Team compare to the rest of the Pantheon? How strong are they?" Xiao Jie probed.
Chen Tianwen shook his head, "There is still some gap, but at least they have a fighting chance. After all, no one is sure how many people the Dragon Team has or what trump cards they hold. Also, the Dragon Team has official Continue reading more chapters on NovelHub for the best experience. I feel there’s still some chance of winning.
But to be honest, if they lose, it’s fine; if they win, the result might be even worse."
"Because of the Heavenly Venerate?"
"That’s right, because of the Heavenly Venerate. If the Heavenly Venerate makes a move, the number of people in the Dragon Team doesn’t matter." Chen Tianwen’s tone was complex, half fearing, half yearning.
"That strong?" Xiao Jie found it hard to imagine.
"That strong," Chen Tianwen confirmed resolutely.
"But didn’t you say the Heavenly Venerate typically doesn’t show up?"
Chen Tianwen nodded, "That’s right, the Heavenly Venerate’s main body doesn’t show up, but he will send avatars. Even an avatar is difficult for ordinary people to deal with. Once, a guild stole some goods from the Pantheon and then hid in Longhua City, thinking they would be safe. In one day, they were wiped out entirely. That was the work of the Heavenly Venerate. They were a famous big guild, with over 30 players above Level 30, and none survived."
Xiao Jie was stunned. Is it really that incredible?
It looks like I need to be careful in the future. If Dragon Soaring goes to war with the Pantheon, I’ll need to be cautious, help out, but not draw too much hate.
But he still found it hard to believe. With Dragon Soaring’s strength, plus the Dragon Team’s power and official Continue reading more chapters on NovelHub for the best experience. Even Immortals must follow the game rules, right?
Speaking of which, could the Heavenly Venerate really have become an Immortal? I’ll have to ask some of the Immortals I know about it later, maybe they know him.
Seeing through Xiao Jie’s thoughts, Chen Tianwen said lightly, "If I were you, I would advise Dragon Soaring not to provoke the Pantheon. Even if they suffer a small loss, just accept it."
Xiao Jie shook his head with a wry smile, "That’s probably not possible. The Pantheon has done a lot lately. The Game Administration Bureau definitely won’t let them off.
And Dragon Soaring certainly won’t just let it go. No matter how powerful that Heavenly Venerate is, no one has ever seen him. Dragon Soaring can’t just hide because of some legends."
Chen Tianwen sighed, "Tell me, what have they done?"
Xiao Jie recounted the events of the past few days.
Chen Tianwen listened and couldn’t help but sigh helplessly, "It looks thing won’t end well. That painting beauty you encountered should be Weiyang. She was among those who came to kill me last time. No one knows her true identity; she never shows her real face, but she should be a woman. She joined the Pantheon at the same time I did, and her strength is not inferior to mine.
I don’t know her profession, but it should be related to the Painting Saint Temple."
Xiao Jie’s heart stirred. He had indeed heard of the Painting Saint Temple. Xia Yi the Unrivaled had a scheduled duel with a Puppet Master (a former disciple of the Painting Saint Temple) soon.
"That Eternal Damnation used to be a Ghost Curse Master. When I left the Pantheon, he had just joined. I don’t know him well. He should have undergone at least three transformations by now. With the Pantheon’s resources, advancing a player is not difficult.
Among the twelve people in the Pantheon, they are about average. There are at least five or six stronger than them.
I advise you not to get involved. The Pantheon might seem small, but they’re not easy to deal with. I was assassinated once and didn’t plan to retaliate. Do you think I have a good temper? The situation is just overwhelming."
"You can’t just let it go, right?" Xiao Jie was undeterred. If the situation forced him, he might have to act even if he didn’t want to.
No matter how strong the opponent is, you can’t back down without a fight.
"Of course, you can’t just let it go. But to win completely and eliminate future worries, the best way is to gain enough strength. If you can become an Immortal or a God, you might not have to fear the Heavenly Venerate anymore.
This expansion pack is our chance. You are now a high-ranking member of Dragon Soaring. In the upcoming war with the New Empire Army, you will certainly be involved. If we can work together to take down Wang Xie and get the remaining two volumes of the Unnamed Taoist Scripture, we can become Immortals.
No one should know about the Unnamed Taoist Scripture, right?"
"No one should—wait, there’s a Taoist named Tree Under the Cicada. He might know." Xiao Jie remembered talking with Tree Under the Cicada in the Xuanxu Palace dungeon. The other seemed quite enthusiastic about the Unnamed Taoist Scripture.
"It doesn’t matter; he’s just a solo player. He probably can’t participate in the plot. It’s not a big deal. How about it, let’s do it together. Others don’t know the value of the Unnamed Taoist Scripture. When the time comes, no one will fight us for it. We can easily get it."
Xiao Jie thought to himself, "You think so, but... I’m not really interested in the scripture."
"Alright, let’s do it together then."
Xiao Jie wasn’t that interested in Wang Xie. His target was another World Boss—the Beihai Demon Dragon. The third Dragon Ball might be with him.
With three Dragon Balls, he could undergo Dragon Transformation, defeat Red Dust, and ascend to Immortality. That seemed much more reliable than collecting some unnamed item.
