“Senior… please wait a minute!” Ye Guying hurriedly stood in front of Ye Xinghan and said, “We will follow your orders and leave here immediately. We will not disturb you any more…”
Ye Guying's expression and eyes were no longer as calm and peaceful as before, and even his voice was trembling. He also changed his address to the old man in black from "Your Excellency" to "Senior". Ye Shi...the elder of their Sun Moon Palace, the middle-stage emperor who looked down upon the world, had a very high status in the Sun Moon Palace, but he turned into nothingness under the small flame that the old man in black casually ignited. What a terrifying power, what an incomparable strength...
His aura that was so strong that it was unbelievable could be just an aura, but they were within ten feet of Ye Shi and saw it clearly with their own eyes! It was a power that was completely beyond their cognition and imagination! To turn a mid-stage emperor into nothingness with a flick of the wrist, let alone the four masters of the holy land, the Holy Emperor, the Sea Emperor, the Heavenly Monarch, and the Sword Master, even the only half-step mysterious god Phoenix spirit in the world could never do it!
Even if the Phoenix Spirit unleashed the Phoenix Fire that covered the sky and the sun with all its might, a mid-stage Emperor would not be without the ability to resist at all.
The old man in black simply ignited a fist-sized cluster of ice-blue flames between his hands.
The power density of this ice-blue flame must be so strong that they could not even imagine it. And the laws contained in it were beyond their understanding, definitely more than one or two realms!
There really are such terrifying people in this world!
Now that he thought about it, the reason he asked them to leave just now was not because he was afraid of Sun Moon Divine Palace... but because he clearly didn't want to take action against them!
“Hmph!” The old man in black snorted coldly, the ice-blue flame on his palm flickering slightly: “I just let you go, but you insisted on provoking me and made me accidentally break the killing precept that I have adhered to for ten thousand years. Now you want to leave, how can it be so easy!”
The black-clothed old man's voice was no longer as calm as before, but was filled with a hint of anger, obviously because he was angry about breaking the killing precept! The words "ten thousand years" he said shocked everyone present... This terrifying old man's lifespan... was actually more than ten thousand years! !
To be able to live for ten thousand years, how terrifying must this old man's realm be!
The ball of ice-blue flame flickered slightly in the palm of the old man in black, causing the hearts of Ye Guying and the others to twitch suddenly. The scene of Ye Shi's tragic death appeared in their minds like a nightmare, and they were only a stone's throw away from the same tragic death!
“Senior, please calm down!” Ye Guying raised his hands, bowed his body, and said humbly and anxiously: “Even if we are overestimating our own abilities, we would never dare to offend you, senior. We only proposed to have a brief exchange of ideas with you just now so that we can have an explanation after returning to Sun Moon Divine Palace… Elder Ye Shi died at your hands because he was not good enough in martial arts, and you are not to blame at all. As the ninth elder of Sun Moon Divine Palace, I guarantee that after you let us go today, Sun Moon Divine Palace will never pursue the matter of Elder Ye Shi, and the grudges with your disciple will be written off from now on…”
As one of the top ten elders of the Sun Moon Temple, Ye Guying had not shown such a humble attitude for many years. But facing the old man in black, he dared not show any of his usual posture, and even wanted to crawl on the ground. Because it would be easy for this man to kill them! And he already had the intention to kill them! If he really did it... Ye Shi would not even have the strength to struggle under him, and neither would they! Not only would they all die, but their deaths would be in vain!
This was the most terrifying person they had ever encountered in their lives, and it was also the first time they had faced a real threat of death. How could they dare to do anything rash again? Even Elder Sun and Moon, under the real shadow of death, could only beg with all his might.
“Oh, I won’t pursue it?” The old man in black smiled disdainfully: “Do you think I’m afraid of your Sun Moon Divine Palace’s ‘pursuit’? In the eyes of the world, you are an unattainable holy place, but in my eyes… destroying your Sun Moon Divine Palace is just a matter of a flick of my hand!”
The plain voice shook everyone's heart and soul. "To destroy your Sun Moon Palace, it's just a matter of flipping my hand." Who in the world would dare to say such arrogant words? If they had heard such words before today, Ye Guying and others would have regarded it as a big joke. But now, what they felt was not ridiculous and disdain, but deep shock and fear... The terrifying scene of Ye Shi being turned into nothingness by a spark of his hand appeared before their eyes again, making them feel cold all over.
Ye Guying said hurriedly, "Yes, yes... Senior is a hermit, and the Sun Moon Divine Palace must be nothing to you. But... if something happens to the young master today, even if it's Senior, our Sun Moon Divine Palace will definitely not let it go. Although it's impossible to do anything to Senior, you are a master who has been away from the world for many years, and you must not be willing to cause such a 'little trouble'. And..." Ye Guying thought of a solution in a hurry and said calmly, "And Senior was angry because he broke the killing precept unintentionally. But as the saying goes, killing comes from the heart. If there is no real killing intention, it is not considered breaking the killing precept. Senior did not intend to kill Ye Shi, but Ye Shi's cultivation was not good, and he did not know his own strength to receive the senior's divine fire, so his soul was destroyed... So Ye Shi's death was caused by himself, not Senior, so Senior did not actually break the killing precept."
"Now that you have the will to kill us, if you kill us, you will really break your vow of not killing! You are the most powerful person in the world, and we are just ordinary people who are not worthy of your attention. Why should you break your vow of not killing because of a few insignificant people like us and taint your pure heart that has not been stained for a long time?"
“What the Ninth Elder said is absolutely right!” Ye Juanyun also said hurriedly: “Although there was a misunderstanding between us and your disciple Yun Che, but… more than a dozen of us lost your disciple’s men, but we didn’t hurt a single hair of your disciple! Senior has been adhering to the precept of killing for many years, he must be a master of destiny with a broad mind and a heart as big as the sky…”
"No need to say more!"
The calm voice interrupted Ye Juanyun's words. The old man slowly retracted his hand, and the ice-blue flame disappeared in his palm. The murderous aura in the air also dissipated, but the overwhelming pressure still existed, oppressing their hearts and souls: "Although what you said is for the sake of survival, it is also reasonable. Well, you go, from today on, never set foot in this place again!"
Everyone in the Sun Moon Palace looked up, as if they heard the sound of nature. For the first time in their lives, they felt like they had escaped death. Ye Guying said in a trembling voice, "Thank you for not killing me! We, the Sun Moon Palace, will definitely remember your kindness..." He paused, and said, "I dare to ask you to tell me your name! Wherever you go in the future, we, the Sun Moon Palace, will stay away. We will never offend anyone related to you."
Ye Guying's words were definitely not meant to seek revenge after finding out his name... Ye Shi died tragically, but the black-clothed old man's terrifying strength that was beyond their cognition made them not even think of taking revenge. As for "retreat three steps", it was not a false statement! They just hoped that they would never encounter such a terrifying existence again in their lifetime.
"My name?" The old man in black said slowly, "What does it matter if you know it? My name has long disappeared from this world. If I hadn't accepted you as my last disciple by chance, I would have never touched the dust of this world again for the rest of my life."
"My name is Duotian! Duotian is my name!"
"Duo...Tian..." Ye Guying muttered in a low voice. This was indeed a strange name he had never heard of before, and it was also the craziest name he had ever heard of! How crazy or strong must a person be to dare to be named "Duo Tian"!
"Senior Duotian, we are leaving now! If you have time in the future, please come to visit our Divine Palace. The Divine Palace will welcome you!" Ye Guying said as he was retreating faster and faster, wishing he could fly away immediately. He said these words partly to calm the black-clothed old man, and partly to try to make friends with him. Because such a terrifying person, even if they can't be friends, they can never be enemies.
As they turned around quickly and prepared to fly towards the Sun-Moon Sacred Ship, a voice suddenly sounded from behind them:
"etc!!"
The one who made the noise was Yun Che, and his voice seemed to be particularly low because of his eagerness and unwillingness. Ye Guying and the others stopped in their tracks when they heard the noise, and felt a chill on their backs... The old man in black let them go, but that didn't mean Yun Che would let them go! If Yun Che strongly requested the old man in black to leave them all here...
"Che'er, no need to say more."
Before Yun Che could speak, the black-clothed old man’s voice sounded calmly: “Master knows what you are going to say. Do you really think that Master let them go because he disdains to take action or is unwilling to break the precept of killing? Wrong!”
His voice was a little stern at this time: "Master taught you a long time ago that unless your life is truly in danger, you must not rely on my power, let alone become dependent on me! Master knows that you hate these people to the core because of the matter of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, and you are eager to put them to death, but Master asking them to leave is already the limit. If you want them to die, you can only do it with your own strength!! "
"Six years ago, when we met as master and disciple, you were just a useless person with crippled profound veins. I repaired your profound veins and trained you for three years. No one in the younger generation of the Seven Nations can be your opponent! Three years ago, I broke through the space and brought you back from the Ancient Profound Ark. Now, you are strong enough to fight against the Emperor! Although you can't kill them now, as long as you practice hard under me, in another three years, it will be easy for you to kill any one of them! In another three years, the entire Sun Moon Divine Palace will be at your disposal. Why do you need to damage your heart of practice just to have a quick success today!"
These words were spoken by the black-clothed old man to Yun Che, but when everyone in the Sun Moon Divine Hall heard them, they were terrified.
Six years... from a crippled useless person with damaged profound veins to someone who can fight an emperor... only six years!!
What a horrible concept!!
And they all knew very clearly that this was not a lie! Because according to their three years of investigation on Yun Che, six years ago, he was really just a useless person with a broken meridian. Everyone in the city where he had lived for more than ten years knew about it, and he even became the laughing stock of the entire city! !
When he first displayed his divine power in the Phoenix Divine Sect, he had only been cultivating Xuan for a short three years!
Today, they finally found the answer to this terrifying fact. It turned out that behind him, there was such a terrifying master! It was a thousand times more terrifying than they had imagined!
In six years, they rose from a cripple to the level of an emperor. Although the Four Holy Lands were the best in the world, they knew they could never achieve that.
There was another sentence that each of them heard clearly... The reason why Yun Che was still alive was not because he was not trapped in the Primordial Profound Ark as they had guessed, but because he was rescued from the Primordial Profound Ark by this old man in black! !
In other words, he could actually travel between the Profound Sky Continent and the Ancient Mysterious Ark! !
Unspeakable shock and astonishment trembled in their hearts and souls. As the most powerful emperors in the Profound Sky Continent, they were completely unable to grasp the realm of this old man in black... In comparison, it was like the existence of two completely different worlds.
Yun Che lowered his head: “Master is teaching, and I am learning from you.”
His voice was very soft and low. Yun Che, who was so arrogant and fearless, and dared to face the Phoenix Sect and even offend the Sun Moon Divine Palace, seemed particularly respectful and restrained in front of his master.
Ye Guying grabbed Ye Xinghan's arm and soared into the sky at the fastest speed, not daring to stop for even a second... In six years, he could fight the Emperor... In another three years, he could kill any one of them... In another three years, he could trample on the entire Sun Moon Divine Palace at will... These words were like a curse lingering in his mind.
He began to feel that making an enemy of Yun Che, a young man whom they had not taken seriously before, seemed to be the biggest mistake they had made in these years!
