The Adventures Of The Young Master

Chapter 246 - Contrasting Thoughts

The next day, what transpired that night had already been circulated all around the entire Havenleaf Constellation!

And their first reaction was, of course, terrified and curious. Terrified because there was someone capable of slaying that amount of monarchs without getting injured! And curious, because the rumors said that it was a young man in his 20s! And what's more, with how daring the young man to offend an entire constellation, he sure must have a powerful background!

But even though he probably has a powerful background, there's a little chance that the higher ups of the constellation would let this slide. After all, they lost 3 Divine Monarchs and 6 Grand Monarchs!

A tremendous loss that couldn't be recovered even after thousands of years!

And as the monarchs were the main force of this constellation, losing nine of them was like a limb being amputated. Not to mention that, even a top Divine Monarch was also killed!

The people of the constellation was now thinking how would the higher-ups react and respond to this.

But in their hearts, they already knew the answer.

—

In a grand and spacious hall filled with gray statues, there's a majestic red round table in the middle and it composed 4 chairs in all.

And there were four youth-looking men sitting on each chair. Each of them was carrying a intense aura that even when they didn't do thing, people would be scared out of their minds.

They are the top leaders of the Pillars!

They were the ones who hold the entire constellation. In other words, they were the guardians!

But don't be deceived by their young looks. They were already old beings that have lived for a million of years!

Besides that, their aura was very different from those of the monarchs. They were far more dangerous and destructive than the monarchs!

If an expert aside from these four was here, he would immediately know how powerful were they.

Imperial Sovereigns. Four Imperial Sovereigns!

Imperial Sovereign Duxiao of the 4th Pillar.

Imperial Sovereign Mateflower of the 3rd Pillar.

Imperial Sovereign Blujin of the 2nd Pillar.

And Imperial Sovereign Trueknight of the 1st Pillar.

Compared to Grand and Divine Monarchs, the gap was too wide that it wasn't calculable.

In fact, even if the 3 Divine Monarchs were to gang up against an Imperial Sovereign, they wouldn't win even if they gave their all.

Now, these sovereigns were looking at each other with grave expressions and a long silence was ensued before a red-haired man, Sovereign Mateflower broke the ice saying,

"We cannot let this slide. We need to exact revenge against that man or else we could no longer hold our head high. We need to stand our ground and kill that man!"

Divine Monarch Zu was his other half and they have been together for hundred thousands of year. So of course, he wouldn't let this slide. Dared to kill a woman of his possession? That's some guts there.

"Mateflower, I know that you are very mad that your wife was killed. But do remember that this young man is not someone that we could easily trifle with as we don't know what's his background." Sovereign Trueknight said seriously, "Besides, you are aware how easily he took down that large amount of monarchs. He left without any damage. So do you think it's that easy to exact revenge?"

"So we will let him go, then?" Mateflower sneered and glared daggers at Trueknight, "If it's your wife who was killed there, will you say the same thing?"

"I will." Trueknight gravely said, "If that will make our constellation survive, I won't hesitate to hold back and let that guy be."

"You..." Mateflower was enraged that he became speechless.

Indeed, Trueknight was deserving to be one of the experts holding the fort against enemies. He knew how to weigh the pros and cons of the action and be decisive enough to come into a conclusion with the best possible outcome.

And what he said, was spot on.

However, it was not the same with the other sovereigns.

"Trueknight, let me clear one thing." Duxiao joined the conversation and asked, "You are willing to stain the reputation our predecessors made up just for a single man?"

"Reputation is useless when you're dead, Duxiao." Trueknight retorted, "Not just anyone could we afford to offend. There are so many strong and unfathomable beings out there that can raze our constellation to the ground. Remember, aside from us, we only have one living Heavenly Saint here!"

Heavenly Saints were obviously stronger than Imperial Sovereigns. If we would talk about how strong Saints were, just imagine that even these 4 Imperial Sovereigns weren't sure if they could defeat a Heavenly Saint! Of course, there's a chance to defeat one given that Imperial Sovereigns were no pushovers.

"Reputation is useless when one's dead, you're right about that." Mateflower answered, "But I would rather die than eating this hatred down my throat!"

"Think rationally, Mateflower." Finally, Blujin joined in, "We can't bear to lose Imperial Sovereigns now that too many monarchs had died."

"So Blujin, you are on Trueknight's side?" Duxiao's face darkened, "I thought we were friends."

Among them, Blujin and Duxiao was close to each other as they traveled the world together.

"We are friends. That's why I'm doing this, Duxiao." Blujin said, "Think about this that I owe you a favor."

"So you're already concluding that even with 2 Sovereigns, we will still die in the end? How weak are we in your eyes?" Mateflower asked with killing intent being emitted.

"..." Blujin was speechless. Indeed, he was thinking that prior to the events reported, he felt that they would just be courting death.

"This is not underestimating you two." Trueknight heavily said, "This is playing safe and giving our constellation a way to survive!"

"Baaaam!" Mateflower shot up from his seat and said angrily, "Seems like we will never conclude this properly. Then, I'm out."

Following which, Mateflower slammed the door of the room in anger with Duxiao in tow.
