“He advanced from peak martial venerable to Emperor Stage in just a few days?”
“H-How is this possible?”
“This is completely unheard of!”
The Xiao clan’s patriarch’s words were like a heavy bomb that set off a colossal wave in the huge plaza.
One had to know that a peak martial venerable was two levels away from becoming a pseudo emperor. Ordinary people would not be able to advance from a peak martial venerable to a pseudo emperor in a short period of time.
Elder Phecda of Star Sect smirked coldly, “Brother Xiao, I’m afraid this is a fabricated truth. Your goal is to confuse us, right?”
“Elder Phecda is right. How could anyone advance from a peak martial venerable to a pseudo emperor in just a few days?” Yue Kun, who was standing behind him, was also in disbelief.
“Everyone, to be honest, I didn’t believe it at first. However, I personally descended to the mortal world to capture this person later on!”
The patriarch inhaled a deep breath of air and said, “I didn’t expect to be seriously injured by this person. If the old me didn’t possess a life-saving technique, I’m afraid that I would’ve died in his hands!”
“What?”
Countless people turned pale with shock.
The patriarch was an Emperor Stage cultivator!
With such strength, even the supreme leaders of the ten high sects would find it difficult to heavily injure him. After all, once he reached the Emperor Stage, he could tear through space and escape.
“His name is Mad Southern Ye!”
At that moment, the patriarch said again, “I’m afraid you guys don’t know yet. After our Xiao clan descended to the secular world, we found the little girl we’ve been looking for at Mad Southern Ye’s house!
“Moreover, Mad Southern Ye was merely an ant in the secular world, yet he rose to power in such a short time. Clearly, he benefited from the little girl.”
As he said that, everyone in the plaza broke into an uproar.
The member of the Devil Sect on the ten high sects’ seats immediately asked, “Brother Xiao, did you capture that girl?”
The patriarch sighed softly, “The one who attacked back then was Old Bai. Just as Old Bai was about to capture him, that old lunatic who had disappeared for 20 years suddenly appeared!
“Just one palm, one palm strike was all it took, and Old Bai was slapped to the ground by that man!”
Hearing those words, Elder Phecda of Star Sect could no longer maintain his composure, “And then what happened?”
“Then he disappeared with the girl!”
Xiao clan’s patriarch shook his head slightly and changed the topic, “However, our clan has found out that the old lunatic actually summoned the ghost ship that only appears once every 20 years and vanished along with the little girl and the ship!”
With that, the huge plaza fell into a dead silence. Countless people kept digesting the information in their heads.
“Therefore, I want to take advantage of this birthday celebration to announce this news to everyone. At the same time, I hope that everyone will listen to me.”
The patriarch swept an indifferent gaze over everyone, a smile appearing on his aged face.
One of the leaders stood up and cupped his fists, “Brother Xiao, please speak your mind!”
“What I mean is that since we guessed that the ancient ship might’ve come from the three great immortal mountains, we should investigate further!”
The patriarch suddenly smiled, “Currently, the breakthrough is Mad Southern Ye. He’s close to that old lunatic’s gang, so he must know something. In addition, his strength suddenly increased. I think he must’ve been to the three immortal mountains!”
At this point, he said with some fear, “However, this person’s strength has skyrocketed. Not only that, his position in the secular world is prominent. It will be very difficult to deal with him with the strength of our ancient clan alone!”
“Can a mere person from the secular world overturn the heavens? If all of us go into the world, we can suppress the secular world!”
“That’s right!”
“Although this person is an Emperor Stage cultivator, he’s still just one person. The Kunlun Ruins has been passed down for over 1,000 years, and the ten high sects all have supreme powerhouses overseeing them. Fighting this person will be extremely easy.”
Many people nodded.
Only the members of the ten high sects remained silent.
Xiao clan’s patriarch looked at them and said with a faint smile, “Everyone, what do you think?”
The members of the ten high sects exchanged glances. Elder Phecda of Star Sect smiled and said, “This matter involves a great deal, and we’re unable to make a decision on our own. We must return to the sect and report this matter truthfully!”
Hearing this, the patriarch did not insist on his case. He knew very well that these high sects would not release their eagle without seeing the rabbit.
He suddenly turned to look at the three people in the metal cage behind him, “These three are the people who boarded the ghost ship with Mad Southern Ye. If anyone wants to know anything, you can ask them!”
Yuan Qitai, who had been silent the whole time, spat a mouthful of saliva and sneered, “Dream on!”
As soon as they came out of the ghost ship, they were captured by the Xiao clan. They had been locked up until now. After experiencing the fear from before, they were already numb to death.
“It’s one thing for three mere ants from the secular world to not show respect when they see us, but they actually dare to be so impudent?”
“I suggest we perform a secret technique on the three of them to search their souls. That way, we’ll have a clear understanding of Mad Southern Ye!”
Many people in the Kunlun Ruins were furious.
In their eyes, the secular world did not possess any spiritual energy and was no different from the wilderness. Therefore, almost no one had entered the world before.
“Senior Xiao, let me give it a try!”
At this moment, a woman in black suddenly said from the seat of the Witchcraft Sect, “Our Witchcraft Sect has a type of gu that can get this person to reveal everything he knows after entering a living person’s body!”
“Sure!”
The patriarch smiled faintly.
The woman from the Witchcraft Sect was overjoyed. She walked to the cage and slowly opened her right hand. A worm that looked like an earthworm entered everyone’s sight.
“This gu is the heart-devouring gu. It can devour the heart of a living person and turn them into a puppet!”
The woman in black smirked cruelly and placed the gu on the metal cage. The gu seemed to have received some order and slowly crawled towards Yuan Qitai.
Despair instantly appeared on his face.
At the sight of this, the onlookers revealed happy expressions. It was as if the person in the cage was not a human, but an animal.
In the crowd, Luo Shuiyao’s pretty face changed. She was about to step forward when she was pulled back by Luo Tianya, “Don’t be rash!”
Almost all the forces in the entire Kunlun Ruins had come for the Xiao clan’s birthday celebration this time. Not to mention the two of them, even the Luo clan and a few other ancient clans would not dare to stop them.
Just as the gu was about to reach Yuan Qitai, the entire Xiao clan mansion suddenly let out a deafening sound.
At the next moment, an object wrapped in red cloth shot out from the main entrance of the plaza, targeting the patriarch.
“What’s this?”
The patriarch’s face turned grim. He reached out and grabbed the item. Opening it, he saw a head that had died with its eyes wide open.
“It’s Nie Yuan!”
Everyone presented at the Xiao clan’s residence was shocked.
Before they could think too much about it, an extremely cold voice followed, “I would like to congratulate the Xiao clan’s old dog to have his happy celebration turn into a funeral today!”
“He advanced from peak martial venerable to Emperor Stage in just a few days?”
“H-How is this possible?”
“This is completely unheard of!”
The Xiao clan’s patriarch’s words were like a heavy bomb that set off a colossal wave in the huge plaza.
