22 -21: The Arrival of the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect!
Lie Tian Daochang, the largest Daoist training ground of the Emperor Immortal Sect.
Carved out atop a mountain peak, it seemed as though the very summit had been leveled by a single stroke of a sword.
The Daoist training ground had existed for a long time, marked with the mottled traces of the years.
The competition of the Nine Peaks would take place right here in Lie Tian Daochang.
At this moment, Elder Zhao, the Great Elder, and others had already arrived early at Lie Tian Daochang.
Accompanying them was Zhao Yulong.
After all, the key to this event lay with Zhao Yulong!
“The two of you just relax, I will have a good discussion with my uncle later,” Zhao Yulong said with a smile, “As for that Ye Xuan, even if the two Elders don’t deal with him, I won’t let him off!”
“Not even Wu Jingshan can save him!”
A hint of coldness gleamed in Zhao Yulong’s eyes.
Previously in the great hall, Ye Xuan calling Zhou Youwei his ‘wife’ time and again deeply wounded Zhao Yulong.
Plus the previous grievances, he had long harbored a murderous intent towards Ye Xuan.
This visit from the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect was, for him, a gift from heaven!
“If Young Master Zhao says so, we are reassured,” Elder Zhao and the Great Elder both revealed smiling expressions.
“After this matter is settled, our sect would be allied by marriage with the Luotian Sacred Land, at that time, we ask for Young Master Zhao’s care,” said the Great Elder.
“Of course,” Zhao Yulong’s face also showed a few more smiles.
One ‘shichen’ quickly passed.
The Elders and protectors arrived one after another.
Zhou Youwei did not come this time, but Leng Yifan showed up again.
All eight Elders gathered, all protectors were present, just waiting for the people from Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect to arrive!
“That Ye Xuan wouldn’t have chickened out, would he?” Seeing that everyone was there except for Ye Xuan, Zhao Yulong suddenly frowned.
“That kid is full of bombast, now that he’s mounted a tiger, it’s hard to get off, he will definitely come,” Elder Zhao said.
“Have someone go check on him, so that he doesn’t run away later,” Zhao Yulong said, not reassured.
Elder Zhao pondered and then instructed a protector behind him, “Protector Liu, you go take a look.”
“Yes!” Protector Liu bowed and accepted the command.
But before he could stand up, Ye Xuan’s figure quietly arrived!
“The boy, after all, does not dare to run away!” Elder Zhao let out a light smile.
The rest also revealed a hint of mocking smiles.
Ye Xuan landed firmly and without haste said, “You all haven’t kneeled and apologized to my wife yet, how could I not come?”
“At this point, you’re still spouting nonsense!” The Great Elder snorted coldly and showed displeasure.
“Ye Xuan, after today, Youwei will be my wife,” Zhao Yulong grinned, a cold glint flickered in his eyes, “Rest assured, I will make her truly understand what it’s like to be a woman!”
Towards the end, Zhao Yulong’s face clearly grew more evil!
However, Ye Xuan remained unmoved, as calm as still water.
Looking at Zhao Yulong, the cold, severe gleam that suddenly flashed through his narrowed eyes.
“How do you know that you will survive today?”
“What…
what did you say?”
Zhao Yulong, seeing the look in Ye Xuan’s eyes, for some reason, felt a chill in his heart, and he also remembered the scene when he was blown away by a glance from Ye Xuan at Emperor Peak.
This Ye Xuan was indeed a bit strange!
With a cold snort, Zhao Yulong shifted his gaze and said indifferently, “Enough with the nonsense, remember your bet with Elder Zhao and the rest!
When my uncle arrives, we’ll see how you solve this!”
The others also sneered endlessly.
This Ye Xuan really did not know whether to live or die, still so stubbornly tough even at this point.
“Brother Wu, you heard what Ye Xuan said just now in the Lie Tian Great Hall; I hope you will refrain from interfering later,” the Great Elder said to Wu Jingshan with a clasped fist.
Wu Jingshan’s expression was ice-cold as he stood with his hands behind his back, next to Ye Xuan: “You needn’t worry about that.”
“It is necessary to worry, for if Ye Xuan goes back on his word later and Brother Wu tries to protect him, then we will really be in a difficult position,” the Great Elder said with a smear of grimness, his stern gaze enough to send a shiver down anyone’s spine!
Ye Xuan shook his head secretly, saying indifferently, “Don’t worry, our bet has nothing to do with him.”
As he spoke, Ye Xuan turned his gaze to Wu Jingshan behind him, “You better not interfere later.”
Wu Jingshan hesitated for a moment but still nodded and bowed respectfully, “I shall heed sir’s command.”
Although they had witnessed this scene in the Lie Tian Grand Hall, seeing it again still surprised everyone.
Why was Wu Jingshan, the towering Great Sacrificial Officer of the Emperor Immortal Sect and a member of the East Desolation Medicine Pavilion, holding such reverence for Ye Xuan?
The Great Elder stood to the side, sneering to himself.
Just now, Zhao Yulong had informed the Great Elder and the others about what happened at the Mystic Ice Cave Mansion; they all understood why Wu Jingshan was so respectful towards Ye Xuan.
However, since the story came from Zhao Yulong, it naturally turned into Ye Xuan accidentally saving Zhou Youwei, while Wu Jingshan, like a fool, treated Ye Xuan as his master.
Boom!
At that moment, a terrifying aura suddenly attacked from afar, instantly tearing through the Great Formation’s barrier of the Emperor Immortal Sect.
The fearsome aura enveloped the Lie Tian Sacred Ground, causing everyone present to change their complexion!
The people from Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect had arrived!
Everyone gathered their spirits, held their breath, and announced respectfully and loudly, “We respectfully welcome the arrival of the friends from Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect!”
Boom!
Another loud noise followed!
The next moment, two figures suddenly appeared above the Lie Tian Sacred Ground.
Both stood on the air, hands clasped behind their backs, looking down naturally and indifferently at everyone at the Lie Tian Sacred Ground, speaking with disdain, “Everyone may dispense with the formalities.”
One of the two was a middle-aged man, dressed in a green Daoist robe, with an aura majestic as the sea; divine light seemed to burst forth from his eyes, making people tremble with fear.
The other was a young man dressed in white, carrying a long sword on his back, extraordinarily handsome as if a Banished Immortal had descended to the mortal world.
However, in his eyes, there was a faint trace of disdain.
As if in his eyes, all the people at the Lie Tian Sacred Ground were no more significant than ants, not worthy of his concern.
“So this is Emperor Immortal Sect?
Truly a generation’s cultivation sacred land…” The youth in white robes slowly opened his mouth, with a hint of a smile.
The middle-aged man laughed, “The young master jests.
The current Emperor Immortal Sect is no longer comparable to what it used to be, even its spiritual energy is less than that of our Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect’s Outer Sect.”
“That such a place could nurture a Divine Body, is indeed beyond belief,” the youth in white clothes clicked his tongue in wonder.
The two casually belittled Emperor Immortal Sect, completely disregarding everyone present.
The people around them immediately looked slightly grim, grinding their teeth, yet they dared not act out, even lowering their heads for fear of being noticed.
“A bunch of bullies who are tough on the weak and scared of the strong,” Ye Xuan muttered, hands in his pockets, shaking his head to himself.
Hearing this, Elder Zhao and the others became furious, but with the people from Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect right there, they dared not react.
Above the sky dome, the two glanced at Ye Xuan but didn’t take much notice.
The middle-aged man in green robe with hands behind his back, said indifferently, “This time, Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect will take away the Immortal Cloud Mine.
Do you have any objections?”
He got straight to the point without any delay.
The Great Elder, Elder Zhao, and others all turned pale, directing their gazes towards Zhao Yulong.
At times like this, they certainly did not expect Ye Xuan to do anything.
Their earlier bet was a joke.
Their only hope now rested with Zhao Yulong.
Feeling everyone’s gaze, Zhao Yulong stepped forward and bowed to the middle-aged man in green, saying respectfully, “Nephew Zhao Yulong pays respects to Uncle Ning!”
“Hmm?” Hearing this, the man in green robes raised his eyebrows slightly, inspecting Zhao Yulong for a long while before showing a puzzled expression.
“And you are?”
As these words were spoken, the hearts of Elder Zhao and the others leapt to their throats.
Could it be that the person from Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect didn’t recognize Zhao Yulong?
Zhao Yulong felt as though he was being seen right through, and without a moment’s hesitation, hurriedly said, “My father, Zhao Zichuan, spoke of you before you arrived at Emperor Immortal Sect.
Seeing you today feels like meeting family.”
Upon hearing this, the man surnamed Ning’s brow relaxed, and he showed a trace of a smile, saying, “So you are the son of Elder Zhao.”
The pressure that had been bearing down on Zhao Yulong dissipated in an instant.
Only then did Zhao Yulong realize that his back was already soaked with cold sweat!
People from Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect…
were truly terrifying!
