Chapter 673: Chapter 643: The True King Ming (Three More for Subscription)
As the bell tolled for the tenth time, Heavenly Fragrance Divine Envoy rushed to the Light Main Altar located in the Central Sea aboard the Flying Boat.
At this moment, the visage of Heavenly Fragrance bore signs of fatigue. Although her cultivation was as high as the Nine Realms Emperor, and her strength was on par with that of a Candidate Divine Envoy, the frantic sprint that lasted twenty hours had nearly depleted her spiritual elemental power.

Just as Heavenly Fragrance, tired to the bone, was about to cross the layers of forbidden techniques and was preparing to enter the doors of the Light Main Altar, she heard a familiar, young, clear, and clean voice calling out to her: “Heavenly Fragrance Divine Envoy!”
Heavenly Fragrance turned her head to the side and saw Shancai Divine Envoy Zhao Chongling standing 40 yards away, smiling faintly at her.
This person appeared to be in his twenties, resembling a wealthy young master with elegant and extraordinary demeanor, like a graceful and upright figure amidst the wind.
“Shancai Divine Envoy!” Heavenly Fragrance Divine Envoy performed a sect salute towards Shancai Divine Envoy, then with an expression of puzzlement, she asked: “Brother Zhao, why are you here? With the bells tolling ten times, King Ming’s session is upon us; should Brother Zhao not be in the Great Ming Hall, serving before King Ming?”
According to the rules, before the commencement of the grand Light Assembly, unless occupied with urgent matters, all Three Pillars, Five Envoys, and Seven Kings within the sect are required to be in attendance before King Ming, chanting prayers until King Ming takes his proper place at the altar.
“I just came out from the Great Ming Hall.”
Shancai Divine Envoy Zhao Chongling casually sauntered to Heavenly Fragrance Divine Envoy’s side and stood shoulder to shoulder with her: “I have seen the so-called new Master of Light. His cultivation has merely reached the Sixth Realm, he is a head-concealing and tail-exposing, fearfully veiled young lad, the discomfort in my heart is truly unbearable, and I really could not stand the atmosphere inside the Great Ming Hall, so I came out for a walk, to get some fresh air.”
His expression was gloomy, his language laced with irony: “I wonder why Invincible Dharma King is willing to welcome this lad as King Ming? It turns out this King Ming is so weak that she can control him entirely. This woman is playing the gambit of controlling the lords by using the Emperor’s influence. Our Light God Sect falling into her hands, I really don’t know where it will end up?”
The corners of Heavenly Fragrance Divine Envoy’s lips twitched slightly, as she thought to herself that Brother Zhao’s ‘young lad’ is none other than the Hidden Crown Prince of Great Song, Lin Hao!
That is the man who became the Spy Catcher Bureau Commander and a Cabinet Minister of Great Song within merely a year, and he is hardly ‘weak’.
In fact, Heavenly Fragrance Divine Envoy was quite surprised by Invincible’s audacity and confidence. Did she think that she could control Lin Hao? Control the Hidden Crown Prince of the Great Song?
Moreover, she knew something else—their new King Ming, even before acquiring the Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire, was Lord of Purity! A demigod!
This is a being that could bring true light to their Light God Sect, to the twenty-seven billion believers!
He will ascend to the heavens and become the true Master of Light!
Heavenly Fragrance shook her head slightly: “Brother Zhao, His Majesty King Ming was chosen by the ‘Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire’, the Supreme Holy Artifact has selected him for a reason, we must not be disrespectful!”
Upon hearing these words, a deeper irony flickered in Zhao Chongling’s eyes.
Thirteen years ago, Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire also chose Yin Qianqiu, yet it led the Light God Sect into decline, deeply disappointing him.
Zhao Chongling managed to maintain his composed facade, not only did he not contradict her, but he nodded in agreement: “The Holy Fire selected him as King Ming, surely not without reason; King Ming’s qualities and talents must be the most suitable for the ‘Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire,’ there is no need for doubt.”
However, his tone shifted immediately afterward: “Nonetheless, King Ming’s cultivation is indeed too low to uphold the foundation of our sect. Just as our Divine Sect is amidst an unstable situation, the great authority over the sect’s affairs is about to fall into the hands of an Outer Heaven Demon who treats the rules of our sect with utter disdain. I and many counterparts within the sect cannot rest at ease with this, nor can we see the direction in which the sect will be led.”
Heavenly Fragrance Divine Envoy’s gaze grew sharp, realizing that Zhao Chongling had purposely waited for her at the Main Temple gate, perhaps with an ulterior motive.
Who exactly did Zhao Chongling include among the many ‘counterparts’ within the sect?
She probed subtly: “Then, in Brother Zhao’s opinion, what should we do?”
“Heavenly Fragrance!” Zhao Chongling sighed, speaking gravely: “Invincible has offended too many people, her methods are too vehement and harsh. Over the past three years, her followers have repeatedly resisted taxes and laws, igniting uprisings across various places; they even refuse to pay the slightest amount of taxes, which is tantamount to rebellion. She has been deemed a thorn in the side by the Four Great Dynasties and the Central Continent—as such, I believe that the next year will see the Five Abyss strike forcefully against our sect.”
Even the attitudes of the Outer Heaven Demons and the Three Gods of Purgatory are difficult to predict. These two parties have been primarily supportive of our sect, yet Invincible has defrauded them of who knows how much wealth and resources. Should she rise to power, the Light God Sect might face opposition from the entire world, and our sect’s already precarious financial resources will undoubtedly be severely impacted. This would be a catastrophic disaster for many of our sect counterparts. Therefore, I wish to gather those within the sect who share our views, to jointly check Invincible’s influence, to correct the Divine Sect. What do you think, Heavenly Fragrance?”
Heavenly Fragrance Divine Envoy’s eyes flickered, but instead of responding, she asked: “Brother Zhao speaks wisely indeed, yet in today’s world, many view our Divine Sect as meat on the chopping block, ready to be slaughtered at will. Does Brother Zhao have confidence in persuading them to put aside their greed and not slaughter us?”
Seeing Zhao Chongling furrowing his brow in silence, she earnestly continued: “Brother Zhao, whether Invincible is an Outer Heaven Demon is still undecided. Moreover, considering the current situation within the sect, it is not necessarily a bad thing for Invincible to step forward. I implore Brother Zhao to prioritize the bigger picture and put up with the difficulty!”
“Of course, I will maintain the overall situation and strive to do so, but——”
Zhao Chongling gave a wry smile, and then his expression sunk deeper: “The other brothers in the sect might not think the same. I merely wish to stop Invincible Dharma King from monopolizing the sect’s great power, but others may even harbor intentions of rebelling and establishing their own sect. They won’t simply stand by and watch Invincible take over the sect’s authority, especially the Vice Sect Hierarch Wanyan Layman.”
