Chapter 720: Old Man Gu Yue Throws a Tantrum!

“City Master Ouyang, your status as the ruler of Central Region is truly impressive. However, you have unjustly revoked the right of my disciples from Yutian Palace to participate in the Saint Martial Assembly and even took them away. If you don’t offer an explanation to Yutian Palace today, people will think we are easily intimidated!”

Guan Lan, the Deputy Palace Master, spoke up while standing beside Palace Master Gu Yue, his gaze locking with Ouyang Yuanfeng.

“Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan was astonished by what he was hearing. There must have been a misunderstanding!”

With the situation escalating to this point, Ouyang Yuanfeng was left with little to say. He could only force a smile, attempting to defuse the tension and resolve the matter smoothly.

“Misunderstanding, you say lightly. Everyone can see that I am a disciple of Yutian Palace. Yet, you clearly do not treat Yutian Palace with the respect it deserves. I wonder, City Master Ouyang, is this your personal doing, or is this the will of the Sacred Mountain?”

Deputy Palace Master Yan Lu also descended, and the faint red glow in his eyes shimmered like fireworks, emitting an invisible wave of intense heat. This directly countered the icy aura spread by Elder Bing Fu, causing a white mist to immediately form, creating an eerie and mysterious atmosphere.

“This…”

Ouyang Yuanfeng was rendered speechless. As the respected ruler of Central Region City, he could clearly see that the group before him consisted of powerful individuals.

Even a few Deputy Palace Masters were formidable opponents. What he did not realize was that Palace Master Gu Yue, rarely seen in such situations, had also personally arrived.

This matter had now involved the Sacred Mountain. If Ouyang Yuanfeng misstepped, it could bring trouble for the Sacred Mountain.

“Yutian Palace should not push us too far. That boy Yi Su severely wounded my son. His actions were cruel and merciless. He even interfered with the guards of Central Region and did not take our city seriously. But let’s not forget, this is still Central Region!”

Kuang Guilan gritted her teeth, her eyes cold. After all, this was still Central Region, and the Sacred Mountain was the ultimate authority here.

“From what I know, it was clearly the son of the City Master of Central Region who acted arrogantly and insultingly. He deserved to be punished. How dare he show such disrespect to Yutian Palace! Well, Yutian Palace will no longer tolerate this. They cannot think they can bully us as they wish!”

Old Man Gu Yue fixed his gaze on Kuang Guilan. Despite his normally kind and gentle demeanor, his face suddenly turned pale. A faint chill radiated from him, and an invisible force filled the air, making Kuang Guilan feel an inexplicable unease.

“Listen well, disciples of Yutian Palace, raze the residence of this City Master to the ground!”

A voice, aged yet filled with fierceness, resounded through the night sky of Central Region City.

“Boom!”

“Roarrrr!”

In an instant, above the void, powerful auras of Yutian Palace surged, filled with energy that swept through, radiating brilliant lights. The night sky transformed with vibrant hues.

One by one, fierce demon beast mounts roared, exuding an overwhelming demonic aura, causing the City Master’s residence to shake and tremble.

“Boom!”

Outside the City Master’s residence, Elder Qi and others turned pale with fear.

Many powerful individuals from the City Master’s residence had already gathered outside. Upon witnessing the situation, they could only prepare to take action. Among them, several mighty experts from the Yuan Emperor Realm soared into the sky, fully vigilant and on high alert!

“Hmph!”

Guan Lan, Yun Ding, and Yan Lu, the three Deputy Palace Masters, let out a cold snort. Their hand seals solidified as three powerful auras soared into the sky, terrifyingly intense!

“Scared of you, are we not?”

The Green Emperor could no longer contain his anger. His sparkling green eyes took on a chilling crimson hue, as if two blood moons were hidden within them. His body swelled with brilliant green light, and with a daunting “woo-woo” sound, he suddenly rose up, transforming into a massive hissing snake that coiled outside the City Master’s residence, stretching for dozens of yards.

The Crying Snake looked menacing, with its entire body covered in green scales. Its four wings fluttered like ringing bells, exuding a sharp aura. Its blood-red eyes were intimidating, and its overwhelming presence sent shivers down one’s spine, causing an eerie feeling!

“Crying Snake!” exclaimed the snake.

As the Crying Snake appeared in the sky, Elder Bing Fu, Ouyang Yuanfeng, and Elder Qi were all astonished.

All the strong individuals could see that the Crying Snake was no ordinary creature. The Crying Snake clan was well-known among the entire monster race, and they held a prestigious reputation.

“Whoosh…”

With such astonishing commotion, in certain secluded corners around the Central Region city, figures suddenly emerged in the low sky.

A veil of elusive essence instantly filled the air, pairs of eyes gleaming brightly in the night sky.

Many young people leaped to higher ground, their gazes directed towards the direction of the City Master’s residence, each possessing remarkable charisma.

If Su Yi were here, he would surely recognize many figures, among them Gong Qianxing from Tianxuan Sect, Liu Xiaohu, and Li Qingwei from Qingyun Sect.

In a certain part of the sky, a short figure stood alone. Their face had a slightly aged appearance, with faint wrinkles that seemed to be traces left by time. However, their facial features were well-defined, indicating that they must have been a handsome man in their youth. The figure, though, was as thin and petite as a child of eight or nine years old, only reaching about half the height of an average person. They were dressed in a fitted robe.

This short figure stood in the low sky, gazing towards the direction of the City Master’s residence. Their eyes held a hint of confusion as they mumbled, “Why did that old geezer Gu Yue have a conflict with the Sacred Mountain?”

Inside and outside the residence of the City Master, the winds roared and clouds surged, filling the air with an awe-inspiring atmosphere.

Kuang Guilan’s face changed dramatically. How could she have thought that a single sentence would ignite the rage of Palace Master Gu Yue and lead to an imminent clash?

“Misunderstanding, it’s all just a big misunderstanding!”

Elder Bing Fu could no longer bear it. If Central Region and Yutian Palace were to go to war today, it would involve the entire Sacred Mountain and the headquarters of Yutian Palace. The people from Yutian Palace are certainly not easy to provoke.

Gazing at Old Man Gu Yue, Elder Bing Fu forced a smile to his face. He clasped his fists and bowed, saying, “Palace Master Gu Yue, surely there must be a misunderstanding. Once this matter is thoroughly investigated, Yutian Palace will definitely be held accountable.”

“Bing Fu, I am giving you face. Bring the person back to Yutian Palace for me. If even a single hair is missing, don’t blame me for being impolite. The consequences, I’m afraid, are more than what ten Bing Fus can bear!”

Old Man Gu Yue looked calmly at Bing Fu and said, “As for disrespecting the disciples of Yutian Palace, we will remember this grudge. If there is a need for someone to seek justice from the Sacred Mountain, Yutian Palace will naturally send someone!”

“Someone, quickly bring the person out for me!”

Bing Fu’s face turned pale and red, and he shouted loudly. Old Man Gu Yue’s words filled him with fear and unease.

Elder Bing Fu still remembered what happened with the Gemini Sect in the past. The Gemini Sect had suffered a great loss in front of Yutian Palace. If this matter truly alarmed the headquarters of Yutian Palace, he wouldn’t be able to take responsibility for it.

“Elder Bing Fu, the Yutian Palace has been too cruel to us. Please stand up for my child!”

Upon hearing these words, Kuang Guilan’s face turned pale. Elder Bing Fu had just mentioned standing up for her son, but if he handed someone over now, she feared there would be no chance for revenge in the future.

“Shush, it’s not your turn to speak here. You lack proper education. I will report this to the mountain gate.”

Elder Bing Fu stared at Kuang Guilan, scolding her, his brows furrowed. This woman still couldn’t understand the situation even now.

Old Man Gu Yue, Cloud Cauldron, Yan Lu, and Guan Lan, the four Palace Masters of Yutian Palace, all appeared together. This lineup was enough to prove that the young man was extraordinary in the eyes of Yutian Palace. Rumor had it that the assessment was likely true, and he might possess a true Heavenly Grade soul that surpassed the level of a Half-Step Heavenly Grade soul. That’s why Yutian Palace valued him so much.

Such a young boy, today, not only would he not dare to move, but even in Sacred Mountain, he would probably not dare to move.

Stirring up the people of Yutian Palace, the entire Sacred Mountain had to consider whether it could withstand such consequences.

“Be quiet.”

Ouyang Yuanfeng sharply scolded Kuang Guilan. It was because of this woman’s excessive pampering of her son since his childhood that he had grown up to cause such problems.

The situation was now clear. Ouyang Yuanfeng, the City Master of Central Region, could not afford to provoke Yutian Palace.

“Elder Qi, go and bring the person out immediately!”

At this point, Ouyang Yuanfeng had no choice but to release the individual.

“Yes!”

Elder Qi quickly nodded and hurried inside the City Master’s residence.

“Palace Master Gu Yue, it’s all just a misunderstanding. How about we go inside for some tea?”

Elder Bing Fu smiled awkwardly, but internally, he felt a deep sense of frustration.

As an Elder of the Sacred Mountain, he was in charge at the Saint Martial Assembly this time. Although other elders had been sent by the Sacred Mountain as well, he held the highest authority.

Usually, Elder Bing Fu was treated with great respect outside. However, today he had reached an unprecedented low point, having to humble himself in a way he never had before.

“Forget the tea.”

Old Man Gu Yue responded softly, not even sparing a glance around. His eyes, surprisingly, were half-closed.

Elder Bing Fu’s expression soured but he quickly concealed it. Old Man Gu Yue, however, paid him no attention, acting as though he were unimportant.

“What is that terrifying creature?”

“Crying Snake! It’s a formidable creature from the Crying Snake clan, part of the powerful Demonic Emperor Realm!”

Outside the City Master’s mansion, in the busy streets and alleys, a crowd gathered. Shadows flitted through the space, and numerous gazes were drawn upwards to the awe-inspiring serpent suspended in the air.

The overwhelming green glow and fearsome demonic aura colored the sky, creating an atmosphere of both awe and terror.

“Wow, so many powerful figures!”

“Those are the elite from Yutian Palace, beings you would rarely encounter!”

“Why are there so many powerful figures from Yutian Palace gathered here at the City Master’s residence?”

“Did you hear? It’s because of Yi Su, a disciple of the Overlord Sect. Apparently, Yi Su severely injured the second young master of the City Master’s family, Ouyang Mingjie, who was then taken away. That’s why Yutian Palace has surrounded the City Master’s residence!”

“So that’s the case! Yi Su from the Overlord Sect is actually that ‘dark horse’! I heard he’s a Soul Tamer, and when he examines souls, it causes extraordinary phenomena in the world!”

“The City Master really hit a roadblock this time, thinking Su Yi from the Overlord Sect was just some unknown figure!”

“…”

The streets were filled with numerous conversations, voices loud and clear, all eyes fixed on the City Master’s residence.

These remarks did not go unnoticed by Elder Bing Fu, Ouyang Yuanfeng, and the other powerful figures present. One by one, they wore displeased expressions.

Soon, several figures emerged from the City Master’s residence.

“Whoosh…”

The gazes instantly shifted away.

Elder Bing Fu, Old Man Gu Yue, Wang Quande, Ouyang Yuanfeng, and the others, all focused intently on the figure that had just stepped out.
