168: Zhao Shengzi, Zhao Yujing

'Spring and Autumn Sword Palace is calling for backup?' Lu Chen heard the Young Sect Leader's murmur and was immediately surprised.

How long had they been away from Spring and Autumn Sword Palace?

Were the people from Spring and Autumn Sword Palace truly so forgetful after being beaten?

Being beaten once wasn't enough; they immediately wanted to call for backup to get beaten again?

It was only because this Young Sect Leader had a good temper; if it were the Grand Elder or Third Elder who came, it's estimated that the entire Spring and Autumn Sword Palace would have a layer of skin peeled off.

Of course, if the Grand Elder and his Master, the Third Elder, really came, it's estimated they would be the ones getting beaten.

They couldn't defeat that Old Palace Lord of Spring and Autumn Sword Palace.

The Sect Leader stopped talking, and Lu Chen obediently stood a bit further away. The two of them waited silently without moving.

Perhaps after a moment, the sound of sword energy piercing the air resounded from the sky.

Then, two flashes of sword light appeared, landing directly in front of the motionless Young Sect Leader. They were none other than the Old Palace Lord of Spring and Autumn Sword Palace and Cheng Daohua, who had come from Starry Sky Sword Palace.

The Old Palace Lord's hair was disheveled, his clothes were torn, and he still had bloodstains on his body, looking utterly wretched.

Cheng Daohua wore a purple robe, his face expressionless, his eyes surging with the intent of the Sword Dao that seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth. Intangibly, a Kill aura permeated the air.

However, with just one glance at the Young Sect Leader, the Sword Dao intent surging in Cheng Daohua's eyes suddenly rippled: "Hmm?"

'This person...'

Taking another look, the Sword Dao intent surging in Cheng Daohua's eyes instantly faded by more than half, as if extinguished by ten thousand years of ice water.

'He is...'

Taking a third look, Cheng Daohua seemed to have completely confirmed the Young Sect Leader's identity, and the Sword Dao intent surging in his eyes completely extinguished.

Then, he fell silent.

Fine cold sweat appeared on Cheng Daohua's forehead at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He fell into an eerie silence.

"Elder Cheng, this is the person who ruined my Spring and Autumn Sword Palace's mountain-protecting formation and injured this old man below the Sword Pavilion," the Old Palace Lord of Spring and Autumn Sword Palace spoke excitedly, pointing at the Young Sect Leader.

He then pointed at Lu Chen, who had retreated far to the side: "This boy, he killed my Disciple in front of the Sword Palace's thousands of Disciples."

There was no response.

Only the Old Palace Lord's agitated voice echoed in the field, sounding particularly harsh.

"Elder Cheng?" The Old Palace Lord keenly sensed something was wrong, and his momentum instantly weakened by three points.

He looked back cautiously.

The Young Sect Leader didn't even spare the agitated Old Sect Leader a glance, standing with his hands behind his back without moving.

Cheng Daohua, this Great Power who came from Starry Sky Sword Palace...

His face had turned somewhat pale, his forehead was covered in layer after layer of fine cold sweat, and in his eyes, there was no longer any trace of Sword Dao intent flowing. Instead, there was only unease, disbelief, and a hint of terror that he couldn't suppress no matter what.

In an instant, the old and cunning Old Palace Lord's agitated emotions completely extinguished. At the same time, a thought that made even him feel terrified arose in his heart: "Damn it, I've caused trouble!"

Suddenly, an eerie silence fell over the scene.

Only Lu Chen, watching the show from afar, kept his gaze shifting between the sweating Cheng Daohua and the Old Palace Lord, occasionally looking at their Young Sect Leader.

Finally, he came to a conclusion: 'The Sect Leader seems really awesome!'

Even the big shot Spring and Autumn Sword Palace called upon showed fear the moment he saw the Sect Leader, and was even...

Scared out of his wits!

And how could the big shot invited by the Old Palace Lord of Spring and Autumn Sword Palace be ordinary?

He was probably at least a being who surpassed the Yang God Realm.

Yet, such a being, after seeing their Sect Leader, didn't dare to utter a single sound and hadn't moved until now, only sweating profusely.

At their level of strength and Realm, let alone at their level, even Lu Chen, or even cultivators two or three major Realms weaker than Lu Chen, could easily control themselves and would never sweat profusely.

Only when one was completely scared out of their wits, with even their soul trembling, would they lose control to this extent.

It was clear how terrified this big shot invited by Spring and Autumn Sword Palace was of their Sect Leader!

And it was a terror that came from the depths of his soul!

Finally, the Young Sect Leader looked at Cheng Daohua and slowly spoke: "You recognize this Sect Leader?"

Cheng Daohua hurriedly bowed, letting the cold sweat on his forehead drip, and replied with a trembling voice: "Recog... recognize!"

Excluding Azure Underworld, this gradually declining place, looking across the major Sects and Sects in the entire Starry Sky, and even the numerous foreign races and strong races, who wouldn't recognize the person in front of them?

Ten Thousand Clans Prodigy Ranking, ranked in the top ten, Zhao Yujing!

What kind of concept is that?

It means that if you were to circle the vast and endless universe starry sky completely, among the younger generation, you would only find a handful stronger than the person in front of you.

Let alone the younger generation, even most of the older generation of Great Powers who came would not be an match for the person in front of them.

But, why?!

Why would this great anomaly from the depths of the Starry Sky appear in a place like Azure Underworld, which was gradually declining?

Cheng Daohua couldn't understand.

What baffled Cheng Daohua even more was, what kind of guts did the damned Azure Underworld Spring and Autumn Sword Palace eat to actually dare to oppose such a being?

And even more, even more damned, was that they even dragged him into being the scapegoat!

Was this something Spring and Autumn Sword Palace could provoke?

Was this something he, Cheng Daohua, could provoke?

Don't think too highly of him, Cheng Daohua; he wasn't worthy.

"Coming with such momentum, why?" The Young Sect Leader, Zhao Yujing, spoke lightly.

Although there was no killing intent shown, nor any hint of displeasure, Cheng Daohua inexplicably trembled even more violently.

He glanced at the Old Palace Lord, who had completely lost his spirit and quietly lowered his head, then cautiously sized up the young Zhao Yujing in front of him, and finally spoke with a trembling voice: "Hearing that my Azure Underworld Spring and Autumn Sword Palace here provoked a Great Power, I, Cheng, specifically led the Palace Lord here to apologize."

He swallowed hard: "Please, please, Holy Son Zhao, please do not blame us."

Zhao Yujing slowly tilted his head back: "But I heard the meaning of this Old Palace Lord; it seems he didn't come to apologize, but rather..."

"More like to demand an explanation!"

'Thump!'

Cheng Daohua's knees went soft, and he immediately knelt on the ground: "All of the Azure Underworld Spring and Autumn Sword Palace have eyes but fail to see, not recognizing the name of Holy Son Zhao, and have greatly offended. Please, Holy Son Zhao, be magnanimous and spare my Spring and Autumn Sword Palace a path to survival!"

'Thump!'

The Old Palace Lord beside him immediately followed suit, also prostrating on the ground.

'Holy Son Zhao doesn't know, but what is a Holy Son?'

The leader of the younger generation of a Void Immortal Sect is called a Holy Son.

Then what is a Void Immortal Sect?

Supreme, commanding authority over the eight wildernesses of the Universe, the overlord of heaven and earth, that is a Void Immortal Sect.

The terror in his heart had reached an unprecedented height.

As the saying goes, ignorance is bliss. Previously, not knowing the background of this young Great Power, he naturally wasn't afraid.

But now, he knew, so, he was afraid!

Afraid like never before!

Heaven knows that the backing of Dongming Sect, which had always been rumored outside, was actually this formidable?

If you had said earlier that you had such backing, how many Sects within this Azure Underworld would dare to provoke you?

If he had known earlier, if that Rebellious Disciple, Sword Lord, had dared to even walk in the direction of Dongming Sect when he went out, the Old Palace Lord would have broken all three of his legs, not leaving a single one!

Unfortunately, he only realized it now, after Cheng Daohua appeared!

It was too late!
