The Corruption Dragon God: Lust System Chapter 635 He even deceived Master Ma!

Over a month swiftly passed since Tianhao's subordinates assaulted Qingyi.

At the outset, the Celestial Law Pavilion vowed to rapidly uncover the perpetrator disseminating demonic techniques inside the sect and deliver justice upon him, yet this commitment didn't endure.

Come the second week, mentions of the issue ceased entirely, and by the third, they acted as if the event never occurred.

Guo Tianhao, having entered secluded cultivation right on the day of the attack, at last came out.

His presence radiated immense power, signaling he stood merely a single step from breaking into the Heavenly Core Realm while gearing up to vie for core disciple status.

"Guo Tianhao, explain why your underlings possessed a demonic technique?"

A furious roar reverberated across the chamber, deep and raspy.

Tianfa was the source, his gaze burning with killing intent fixed on the youth standing there.

"There's only so much I can conceal, and employing demonic energy in the sect exceeds that boundary by miles.

Do you realize what fate awaits me if the sect leader learns of my role? I'd be done for, completely destroyed!" Tianfa snarled, grinding his teeth.

Though a Stellar Sovereign, he ranked among the feeblest in his level. Should the sect leader decree his execution, resistance would prove impossible.

"Ah... you fret excessively, Elder Tianfa. All remained firmly in my grasp." Guo Tianhao grinned, utterly unfazed by the elder's lethal glare.

"That scum nearly uttered your name! What if I hadn't rushed in to shut him up first?" Tianfa demanded, advancing a pace.

"Do you grasp how tough it was disposing of those five damnable elders undetected?"

"Not tougher than the burdens I shoulder for you, right?" Tianhao shot back, his smirk unwavering.

"You crave entry to the sect leader's sacred library, correct? Once I wed Rou'er and claim the sect's young Lord title, I'll grant you unrestricted passage."

Those words made Tianfa grit his teeth.

The Guo family's riches weren't his sole motivation for backing Tianhao.

Indeed, their fortune surpassed even the sect's own, yet such wealth seldom swayed a Stellar Sovereign blessed with endless years.

By contrast, the sect leader's sacred library offered something truly unparalleled.

Within rested the founders' most profound mysteries, accessible solely to the sect leader, his kin, and the five heir lineages descending from the founding heroes.

In truth, Tianhao harbored his own burning desire to breach that library, despite his primary obsession being claiming Rou'er as his own.

Scant rewards in this celestial domain justified endangering a Stellar Sovereign's existence, yet sacred library entry ranked supreme among them.

Tianfa had repeatedly sought permission, only to face constant denial from the sect leader.

With a huff, Tianfa pivoted, snatched a liquor flask, and tilted it toward his mouth.

His lips had barely met the rim when he stiffened at the sound of thudding steps nearing from the corridor.

Three sharp raps sounded on the door, provoking fresh annoyance from the elder.

"What do you want? Better be crucial, or else..." Tianfa trailed off, his killing aura leaking outward.

He recognized the visitor instantly: an intelligence-gathering lackey.

The fellow trembled under the crushing pressure.

"Ma Zhenwu has concluded his seclusion, my lord."

"So soon?" Tianfa's eyes bulged.

He'd anticipated Zhenwu remaining in isolation for decades at minimum, maybe centuries, yet scarcely a month had elapsed.

What sort of profound insight had that ancient gained?

"What of his cultivation base?" Tianfa inquired, yanking open the door to haul the man indoors.

"He... appears to have achieved a major breakthrough, surging straight to the sixth stage of the Star Sovereign realm..."

Tianfa went rigid.

For more than four hundred and eighty thousand years, Zhenwu had lingered unmoving in his realm, those four hundred and eighty thousand years devoted purely to forging an unshakeable foundation.

Now, as the sect's eldest Stellar Sovereign, advancing countless stages in one session, how

terrifyingly mighty would he become?

Worse still, his daughter—abducted by a central region sect—possessed clear potential to shatter past Stellar Sovereign and ascend far

greater heights.

"Ah... praise the heavens that old fiend isn't hostile." Tianfa exhaled.

"Having shattered that barrier, his ascent won't take long

prior to him attaining the summit of the Star Sovereign realm and emerging as

the sect's supreme powerhouse."

He grasped too late that he'd boasted prematurely, seeing the subordinate's composed look turn grim.

Tianfa's shoulders sagged at once. Tianhao reacted identically right then, his grin vanishing from his features.

What incredible stroke of luck had dropped straight into Qingyi's hands without any effort this

time?

"Speak. What's wrong?" Tianfa demanded, holding back his murderous aura

while dropping heavily into his seat.

"Well... Zhenwu, this morning, made a public trip to the sect leader, expressing profound thanks to Qingyi for conquering the secret realm on his family's territory that no one had beaten for generations, and even declared that..." The subordinate ducked his head, rigid with strain.

He fully understood the gravity of the words he was about to utter, particularly around Tianhao, whose devotion to Rou'er verged on

madness.

"Speak. I'll guarantee your life," Tianfa stated, voice steady.

He was no fool driven by rage and wouldn't execute a subordinate over

news outside his control.

"He mentioned Rou'er's marriage and... claimed his family would back Qingyi, an outer disciple who's scarcely earned recognition, as a possible match."

Right after sealing his lips, the subordinate wished he'd stayed silent.

Tianhao's killing intent erupted across the chamber. "Qingyi... That scum! He even fooled Master Ma!" Tianhao bellowed,

his fist pounding the table fiercely, splitting it apart with a crisp snap.

He remained oblivious that Qingyi had zero idea about any of this.

Currently, besides Elder Shen, Ma Zhenwu was also broadcasting his fame all over the sect.
