Chapter 138: Chapter 138
"Everyone, that Mortal Supreme is currently tied up with important matters. In the short term, he cannot step forward to help us eradicate the South-Subduing King lineage."
"However, His Majesty’s close friend promised this old man that in seven days, at most seven days, he will finish handling all his personal affairs."
"Everyone, during these seven days, we must discuss matters thoroughly and make full preparations for the upcoming great battle against the South-Subduing King."
Jasper’s words caused the patriarchs present to fall into deep thought.
This matter was of monumental importance, and they did not dare jump to conclusions lightly.
"Patriarch Jasper, this matter is of the utmost importance. Can that Senior truly rival the South-Subduing King lineage alone?"
"Exactly! Isn’t this too rushed? Shouldn’t we take a long-term approach?"
"That’s right, the South-Subduing lineage has an extremely profound foundation. Rumor has it that their Great Ancestor is one of the existences closest to a Deity. Is that Senior truly powerful to this extent?!"
Hearing that Jasper wanted to ally with that Senior and take down the South-Subduing King in the near future, the patriarchs of the Southern aristocratic clans were genuinely frightened.
This matter was of grave importance.
A single misstep, and the centuries-old foundation of the Southern clans would vanish in an instant.
They had no choice but to be cautious.
Winning that Senior over was certainly something to be happy about, but the strength he displayed yesterday was not enough to give them absolute certainty in eradicating the South-Subduing King lineage.
According to their original vision, after recruiting that Senior, the bargaining chips in their hands would vastly increase, allowing His Majesty to shake off his puppet status.
Freed from the South-Subduing King’s control, they would have ample time to develop their forces.
With the deep foundations of the Southern clans, their power would rapidly inflate.
They did not lack resources.
The major Southern clans had accumulated unfathomable wealth over centuries.
What they lacked was time: the time needed to convert these resources into powerful experts.
Normally, the South-Subduing King would never give them this much time. But now, having won over that Senior, they had essentially bought themselves that crucial breathing room.
As long as they could develop for eight to ten years, they could not only stand their ground against the South-Subduing lineage, but if their development went well, suppressing and killing them would not be impossible either.
However, Jasper’s words had thoroughly shattered their beautiful dream, seven days was simply too short.
With their current foundation, the Southern clans were far from being a match for the South-Subduing lineage.
Were they expecting that Senior to deal with the entire lineage all by himself?
"Patriarch Jasper, seven days?! You can’t possibly think this Senior can single-handedly suppress the South-Subduing King lineage, right? Is that Senior truly capable of reaching such a level?!" a Southern clan patriarch voiced the doubt in his heart.
"That’s right. This Senior’s strength is unfathomable, and this old man believes that he alone is more than enough to suppress the South-Subduing lineage."
Jasper’s eyes were filled with fanaticism, his tone laced with absolute certainty, thinking back to that scene in the Inkwood Academy, his entire body trembled slightly from excitement.
Seeing Jasper act with such certainty, the Southern clan patriarchs could not help but gasp, their eyes brimming with shock.
Through generations of intermarriage, the major Southern clans had long become an inseparable collective.
These patriarchs had known Jasper since childhood and were familiar with his temperament.
Since Jasper was not the type to spout nonsense regarding matters of the clans’ survival, his certainty must have a solid basis.
Unable to contain his curiosity, Patriarch Westgate voiced the collective thoughts. "Brother Jasper, the South-Subduing King lineage has a thousand years of heritage, and their foundation is unfathomably deep. In terms of Proving the Dao existences alone, they have two on the surface."
"Although that Senior’s strength yesterday was profound and perhaps unmatched across the entire South-Subduing lineage, why are you so certain he can suppress them all by himself?"
"Hahahaha!!!"
Jasper could not help but look up and laugh aloud.
After a long laugh, he began to recount what he had seen and heard today.
"Everyone, there is something you don’t know. Today, when I went to the Inkwood Academy to persuade that Senior, he deliberately revealed a sliver of his aura before me."
"You have no idea. Just that single leaked wisp of aura made me take a stroll right past the gates of hell."
Jasper’s words caused Patriarch Westgate to frown, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes. Although Jasper had not been in the Mortal Supreme realm for long, barely half a month, he had acquired a massive opportunity in a Heavenly Grotto-Blessed Land. Through this opportunity, his strength had experienced a qualitative leap.
Even though he had only stepped into the Mortal Supreme realm for a short half month, he was not the slightest bit inferior to those Comprehending the Dao experts who had immersed themselves in the realm for decades.
For a mere wisp of aura to nearly cause Jasper to perish, how could that be possible? Even a Heaven and Earth Deity might not achieve that.
"That can’t be possible, Brother Jasper. For this person’s strength to actually be that formidable, even a resurrected Deity might not be capable of that!"
Thinking back to the situation in the Inkwood Academy this morning, a look of relief flashed through Jasper’s eyes, hearing the disbelief in Patriarch Westgate’s words, he laughed self-deprecatingly.
"My earlier words were just me putting gold on my own face. If that Senior had any murderous intent, a single breath of his aura would have been enough to obliterate me man on the spot in the Inkwood Academy."
"Everyone, what was exposed yesterday was merely the tip of the iceberg of that Senior’s true strength. His capabilities far exceed your wildest imaginations."
Seeing the lingering disbelief in the eyes of the Southern clan patriarchs in the side hall, Jasper did not get angry.
