Chapter 165: Chapter 164: Unparalleled Dominance!"A month ago, when your sect disciples rampaged through the Imperial City, I took the initiative to step back, didn’t I?" The grey-robed elder’s brows furrowed as he looked towards Zhou Chaolong, the old ancestor of the Emperor Immortal Sect. seaʀᴄh thё novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Are you sure it was you taking the initiative to step back?" At that moment, Ye Xuan looked at the grey-robed elder with a teasing gaze and said lightly, "Somehow I feel like it was you who panicked upon guessing the origin of that great hand, and that’s why you chose to concede." Who had stepped back a month ago was clear to both sides. Ye Xuan knew it best. The sole reason the old ancestors of the Lie Tian Heavenly Country chose to give way was that someone had guessed that the great hand being manipulated by Ye Xuan was indeed the power of the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple! Because of this very reason, they felt threatened and hence chose to concede. Otherwise, the Lie Tian Heavenly Country might have suffered a devastating blow. The grey-robed elder narrowed his eyes at Ye Xuan and said slowly, "Kid, there’s no place for you to interject here." An invisible and terrifying pressure surged towards Ye Xuan. Boom! However, at the same time, Zhou Chaolong gently flicked his sleeve, casually dispelling the grey-robed elder’s terrifying pressure. "Hua brother, I respect you as an elder because, after all, the Lie Tian Heavenly Country and the Emperor Immortal Sect are of the same origin. If you continue to fail to recognize what’s good for you, don’t blame me," Zhou Chaolong said indifferently. The grey-robed elder snorted coldly; his eyeballs turning within his skeletal face as he looked towards Zhou Chaolong and said slowly, "Well, I would like to see just how much strength you have left after all these years." As he spoke, an immense and vast aura suddenly rose from the grey-robed elder. Boom, boom, boom— The clouds above the sky dome were instantly dispersed. The bright moonlight poured down, condensing into white frost on the ground. Crack, crack, crack— The white frost spread at a visibly rapid pace, almost instantly about to encase the entire Wansheng Mountain Arena in ice. "Master—" Zhu Xiaofei and the others hadn’t even finished shouting ’senior brother’ when they were frozen by that terrifying cold force. In almost an instant, all the disciples of the Emperor Immortal Sect were frozen, except for Zhou Youwei and Ye Xuan. Qiu Wenhan and Lu Chengde were also frozen. Zhou Zihuang was also significantly affected. "Courting death!" Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed. The power from the Emperor Foundation of the Emperor Immortal Sect was instantly activated! Boom— In the next moment, a formidable force of nature suddenly formed. All the ice encasing them was instantly shattered. Everyone regained their normal state. Moreover, that formidable force condensed into a surge, and violently slammed towards the grey-robed elder. "Hmm?!" The grey-robed elder, who had been ready to engage with Zhou Chaolong, suddenly felt an irresistible power descending upon him, and his face changed instantly. Boom! However, before he could dodge, that invisible formidable force had already struck him. "Pfft—" The grey-robed elder spat out blood violently, swaying and nearly losing his balance in the air. "This, this, this..." The elder’s face was filled with horror, his eyes conveying shock and disbelief. "Eh?" Zhou Chaolong, watching this scene, was also somewhat confused. That force didn’t seem to be the power of the Ancestor Temple? "Are you sure you came here to rescue someone, not to offer your head?" Ye Xuan looked at the grey-robed elder coldly and said coolly, "If you dare to make a move again, do you believe that I can make your Lie Tian Heavenly Country disappear today?" Without any preliminaries, the old ancestor of the Lie Tian Heavenly Country had struck, which kindled a trace of killing intent in Ye Xuan. If it weren’t for his timely reaction, it’s likely that all these disciples of the Emperor Immortal Sect would have been killed by the aftershocks of that grey-robed elder’s attack. These disciples are the future pillars of the Emperor Immortal Sect. If they were to really die here, it would undoubtedly be an unbearable loss for the Emperor Immortal Sect. The grey-robed elder looked at Ye Xuan, a flicker of wariness in his eyes, and said in a heavy tone, "Then let Hong Yunlie go." "Hmm?" Ye Xuan tilted his head and looked at the grey-robed elder with a sharp gaze. Boom— Once more, an invisible formidable force formed. "Pfft—" The next moment, the grey-robed elder, as if struck by a heavy blow, spurted out another mouthful of blood, his face pale as paper, and utterly miserable. His whole body trembled uncontrollably, as if he couldn’t bear the heavy pressure, with terror filling his eyes. This scene shocked Zhou Zihuang, Zhou Chaolong, and the others. My heavens! That was the old ancestor of the Lie Tian Heavenly Country! To be beaten so badly?! They looked towards Ye Xuan with shock in their eyes. Too terrifying! What kind of power does this guy possess? If even Zhou Zihuang and the others were like this, the likes of Qianxue Old Demon were even more frightened out of their wits, wishing for death. How could they have ever imagined that within the Emperor Immortal Sect, there would actually be such an invincible existence?! Even the old ancestor of the Lie Tian Heavenly Country had to bow his head. "This..." The old ancestor of the Emperor Immortal Sect, Zhou Chaolong, was bewildered. Damn it, there’s no need for him to take action anymore... He had been preparing to sort out Hua Tianqiong. Unwillingly, Zhou Chaolong began to smile bitterly in his heart, "It seems, five days ago, everything Ye Xuan said was completely true. Even if we don’t take action, he alone would be able to handle it." The reason he asked them to take action was probably not for them to really make a move, but to put on a show so others would mistakenly believe it was their doing. Sure enough, in the Wansheng Mountain Arena, most people were casting their gazes on him. Zhou Chaolong felt a myriad of shocked gazes, seemingly astonished by him. Even Hua Tianqiong was looking towards him! Zhou Chaolong’s mouth twitched secretly. Was he taking the blame for Ye Xuan... "Zhou Chaolong, I didn’t expect that after so many years, you still possess such power." The gray-robed old man, Hua Tianqiong, stared at Zhou Chaolong, trembling and seemingly short of breath. Zhou Chaolong couldn’t help but want to retort in his heart, damn it, I haven’t even made a move yet. Zhou Chaolong couldn’t help but look towards Ye Xuan, all of this must have been calculated by this little guy, right? Since that was the case, he might as well hand over the right to speak to him. Feeling Zhou Chaolong’s gaze, Ye Xuan’s expression remained calm as he spoke slowly, "Does the Lie Tian Heavenly Country really want people or not?" Hua Tianqiong swallowed a mouthful of fresh blood, his eyes carrying a hint of gravity as he looked towards Ye Xuan and spoke softly, "Of course we do!" "Then it’s simple, first bring out the remnant scroll of the Emperor Dao," Ye Xuan said indifferently. Hua Tianqiong squinted slightly, not speaking. The remnant scroll of the Emperor Dao, although impossible to cultivate from, had significant meaning. And furthermore, that remnant scroll was left by the Lie Tian Great Emperor! If really given away, it would be a huge loss for the Lie Tian Heavenly Country. "What’s this? Are the words of your Lie Tian Heavenly Country not even worth anything now?" Seeing that Hua Tianqiong did not speak, Ye Xuan said indifferently, "If your Lie Tian Heavenly Country really wants to do such a dishonest thing, then I feel it doesn’t need to exist anymore, anyway..." "It would just bring shame upon the Lie Tian Great Emperor." Ye Xuan stated coldly. At this moment, Ye Xuan indeed harbored killing intent. This bunch of people, living was just to smear Lie Tian’s name! As Lie Tian’s Master, Ye Xuan needed to uphold his disciple’s reputation. "Don’t rush." Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Hua Tianqiong’s face changed slightly, hurriedly saying, "The remnant scroll of the Emperor Dao is kept in the national treasury; it’s not something that can be taken out just like that." "That’s your business." Ye Xuan stated indifferently. Hua Tianqiong pondered for a moment, then tentatively said, "How about this, you release Hong Yunlie first, and after three days, I will bring the remnant scroll of the Emperor Dao to the Emperor Immortal Sect." "Let’s not talk about that," Ye Xuan shook his head slightly, his expression calm, "Did I ever say I would release him if you brought out the remnant scroll of the Emperor Dao?" "What do you mean?" Hua Tianqiong’s face suddenly turned cold. "The remnant scroll of the Emperor Dao, that is something your Lie Tian Heavenly Country owes us," Ye Xuan said slowly. Before the exchange conference began, both parties had already agreed. If the Emperor Immortal Sect lost, they would hand over the qualification to go to the Southern Ghost Tomb. And if Lie Tian Academy lost, they would provide the remnant scroll of the Emperor Dao. The winner of this exchange conference was the Emperor Immortal Sect. But because Hong Yunlie was untrustworthy, not only did he not provide the remnant scroll of the Emperor Dao, but he also joined forces with the three major cultivation sacred lands, intending to kill Zhou Zihuang, Ye Xuan, Zhou Youwei, and the others. "That’s right, the remnant scroll of the Emperor Dao is indeed what the Lie Tian Heavenly Country should give," Zhou Zihuang also said solemnly, "This was personally stated by Hong Yunlie, if you have any doubts, you can ask him." Hua Tianqiong’s gaze shifted slightly, landing on Hong Yunlie. The gazes of the people from the Emperor Immortal Sect also fell on Hong Yunlie, with unpleasant looks. This guy was the chief culprit!
