224: I just wanted to kill him when I went to Tianyuan!
Northern Region.
The Wang Family, in the main hall.
A heavy atmosphere filled the air. Several Elders dressed in archaic clothing stood around, their brows tightly furrowed.
Before them was an ancient mirror, and within it, the figure of Shen Nian instantly killing a Void Return Fifth Layer Elder was being replayed repeatedly.
"This must be his limit, erupting with his full strength in an instant just to make a name for himself. This must be the plan of the Young Master of the Shen Family; he could never be a match for our Young Master of the Wang Family!"
"Indeed, our Young Master of the Wang Family could also achieve this, but it wouldn't be his full extent. This must be the full strength of the Young Master of the Shen Family!"
"Exactly, exactly. However, putting that aside, for the Young Master of the Shen Family to have such strength, he is truly one of the top Prodigies of our Human Race. He should be friends with our Young Master of the Wang Family, drinking wine and enjoying each other's company. There is no need to make the relationship so strained because of a branch Disciple, right?" One of the Wang Family Elders probed, his gaze occasionally sweeping over Wang Zheng, who sat at the head of the hall.
The other Wang Family Elders also looked toward Wang Zheng intentionally or unintentionally. Although they appeared as if it were no big deal on the surface, they were actually panicking inside. What was even more shocking than the strength Shen Nian had displayed was the appearance of Old Man Tianji.
The youngest Human Emperor!
Holy crap!
The Human Emperor Hall has directly become his subordinate. That is equivalent to most of the Human Race's forces obeying his commands. Added to that is the terrifyingly strong Shen Family; their Wang Family truly cannot challenge others at all!
If the Wang Family truly formed a feud with the other party, they did not doubt the outcome for a second.
That would be getting chased and beaten all over the world by the Shen Family and the Human Emperor Hall!
This is not even counting the White Jade Capital, which has always been hidden from the world. That is also an unreasonable force, a Holy Land of the Daoist sect. In a sense, the White Jade Capital is actually even more terrifying than the Ancient Desolate Families, but after the connection with the Immortal Realm was severed, the Ancient Desolate Families became the strongest.
But who dares to question the foundation of the Holy Land of the Three Teachings?
Especially since there is a Peak Sword Cultivator on the White Jade Capital holding an immortal sword, the number one person in the Human Race's Sword Dao!
Make it clear, that is his own uncle!
"Hey, why did you say what was on my mind? That is the logic. The Young Master of the Wang Family and the Young Master of the Shen Family didn't know each other before fighting, and then they fought the Monster Realm together; wouldn't that be a beautiful story?" One Elder said as his eyes darted around.
"Enough!"
A cold shout made the various Elders' expressions change greatly, and they bowed deeply with cupped hands.
"My son Wang Teng has the talent for Immortal Ascension; how could he apologize to anyone? Furthermore, this action by Old Man Tianji has undoubtedly stirred public anger. How can the position of Human Emperor be given away so casually? Did he ask the people of the world? Did he ask my Wang Family?"
Wang Zheng frowned and said coldly, with anger between his brows.
His Wang Family Old Ancestor was precisely one of the strong candidates to contend for the position of Human Emperor. For a Young Clan Master Shen to suddenly appear and snatch the Human Emperor position away, how could he not be angry?
In the main hall, the various Elders bent their bodies even lower, and not a single one dared to make a sound.
"Well said!"
A burly, white-haired figure stepped into the main hall. His appearance was obscured by mysterious blue light, and five-colored divine light flowed around his body. His expression was arrogant, and his appearance bore some resemblance to Wang Zheng and Wang Teng. In his outstretched hand floated a glazed pagoda, emitting infinite Divine Might; just looking at it could make one obsessed.
This old man holding the Wang Family's ancestral artifact, a semi-immortal weapon, was the Wang Family Old Ancestor, Wang Quan!
A figure from the same era as Shen Min and Old Man Tianji, he was a Peak Hedao. When he appeared, the entire world fell silent, and the Aura of the Great Dao flowed at all times.
"Old Ancestor!" Wang Zheng quickly stood up and bowed respectfully.
Those Wang Family Elders' expressions changed greatly, and they all bowed together, shouting, "Greetings, Old Ancestor." At the same time, the Elders who had spoken earlier were drenched in sweat, their faces pale.
Wang Quan glanced indifferently at the bowing Elders.
The next second.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three figures turned into blood mist. With just a single glance, he directly erased three Void Return Peak powerhouses!
This was still him not using a shred of Great Dao power; purely his Aura erased the three of them.
"Cowardly and fearful of death, how are you worthy of being Elders of my Wang Family!"
The other Wang Family Elders were so scared they didn't dare to move, and they even held their breath.
"Xiao Zheng, let Teng'er properly meet this Young Master of the Shen Family. I would like to see, no matter how much of a Prodigy he is, can he compare to the Prodigy of my Wang Family who has created legends since he was small?"
"As for the position of Human Emperor, he is not qualified enough!"
"A callow youth, what qualifications does he have to sit in the position of the leader of the Human Race!"
"Wang Xuanzhi has always been fair; it must be that Shen Min is obstructing things from behind the scenes. I will go find Shen Min to reason with him right now!"
Wang Quan held the glazed pagoda in his hand, his Aura transcendent and detached from the world, as if he were about to ascend at any moment. His eyes held an arrogant indifference toward all things. His tone was overbearing and peerless, but as he turned around, he couldn't help but freeze.
Upon hearing this, Wang Zheng quickly said, "But Old Ancestor, you can't beat him..."
Once these words were spoken, the space suddenly became a bit awkward.
Those Wang Family Elders looked at Wang Zheng in astonishment.
Wang Zheng also seemed to realize he had said the wrong thing, and immediately added, "Old Ancestor, I didn't mean that..."
"I am going to find him to reason, not to fight!"
"Could he, Shen Min, possibly just attack directly?"
The next second.
Wang Quan, holding the semi-immortal weapon, tore open the space and stepped directly into it. However, for some reason, this spatial rift did not close completely. Screams came from within the space, and the trace of fluctuation Aura transmitted from within made even Wang Zheng feel a chill down his spine; he didn't dare to get close at all.
"Ouch!"
"Shen Min, I came to reason with you; why are you attacking as soon as you come up!"
"Nirvana Talisman!!!"
"Shen Min, you have gone too far. How can you use this talisman against the Human Race??"
"Do you really think I'm afraid of you? Heavenly Emperor Pagoda, suppress him for me!!!"
"A piece of garbage daring to be called the Heavenly Emperor Pagoda; you came up with that name yourself, right?"
"Ah, Shen Min, how are you so strong? What kind of Peak Hedao is this? Answer me!"
"Oh my, ahhhh, my Clone that I spent three hundred years on..."
"Fine, fine, fine, I admit defeat, stop hitting, stop hitting..."
"Wang Xuanzhi, is the Human Emperor Hall just watching the show from the side? Aren't you going to pull him off?"
"Damn, why are you hitting me too!"
"Ah, ahhhhh!!"
In the main hall, Wang Zheng's face was red and burning.
Old Ancestor, is this what you called going to find him to reason??
In just a few breaths, Wang Quan walked back out of the spatial rift, bruised and battered, his hair disheveled, and his hand dragging the glazed pagoda trembling slightly. If he hadn't had nowhere else to go, how would he have returned the way he came?
He had lost face big time!
"Old Ancestor..." Wang Zheng called out softly.
"Whoever dares to spread word of today's incident, I will definitely exterminate their clan!!" Wang Quan looked at everyone with a murderous gaze.
The Wang Family Elders in the main hall gulped, then turned around abruptly.
"What date is it today? Strange, why am I here? What happened just now?"
"Hey, Old Zhang, wait for me. Why am I here too? What a strange thing!"
"..."
At the same time.
Fentian Holy Land.
In the Holy Master's palace.
Shen Nian sat on the Holy Master's seat and spoke softly.
"I do not mean to blame you; just let him be an ordinary person..."
Zuo Wuhen knelt on one knee, still holding a wisp of Zuo Qiu's remnant soul in his hand, and bowed his head, saying, "Many thanks, Master!"
Shen Nian was silent. He couldn't muster a shred of hatred for Zuo Qiu, and he didn't even put him in his eyes, because the other party and he were already no longer on the same level. It was just that at the moment Zuo Wuhen crushed Zuo Qiu, he had left behind his Divine Soul.
Immediately after, Zuo Wuhen put away Zuo Qiu's remnant soul and bowed again, saying, "Master, the people from the Pill Pagoda will arrive soon. The group from the Pill Hall protected the assembly and oppressed Young Miss Qinger. Should we hand them over to the people from the Pill Pagoda to handle, or kill them all?"
Once these words were spoken, Shen Nian looked at Zuo Wuhen with a somewhat strange expression.
Zuo Wuhen did not have a trace of embarrassment on his face. Although this was all something he had planned to pave the way for his son, the situation was different now.
"Let's see how the people from the Pill Pagoda handle it..." Shen Nian said casually. His thoughts were not on these Pill Hall Elders.
"How much do you know about the eldest Your Highness of the Azure Black Dragon Clan?"
Upon hearing this name, Zuo Wuhen's eyes involuntarily became cold, and he bowed, saying, "Even if he turned to ash, I could recognize this beast!"
"I wonder what Master intends to do?"
Shen Nian took a sip of tea and felt a burning sensation from his throat down to his lower abdomen. He couldn't help but examine the specialty of the Fentian Holy Land, which looked like magma in the cup, and said casually, "Nothing much, I just want to slay him while going to the Abyss."
