569: Lend me your head

A moment later, Senior Brother Duan Muyang crawled out of the large hole in the ground. Although he didn’t suffer any severe injuries,

as a Great Emperor, to be humiliated in such a way was like having his face constantly rubbed on the ground.

This humiliation caused his Qi Sea to tremble.

Yet, he couldn’t act out.

The Guardians of the Human Race’s ancient gods are a terrifying group of people. The weakest among them are Saints; after all, it would be a joke to try and guard the ancient city without strength.

Furthermore, the Cultivators of the Human Race hold them in great reverence, so even the entire Xuanyang Academy must be well-behaved when facing the Guardians of the Human Race.

Senior Brother Duan Muyang suppressed the humiliation in his heart and walked up to the old man.

He absolutely could not let the other party find a reason to attack Xuanyang Academy, otherwise, the Academy would be in trouble!

At that time, it might even draw the hostility of various Human Race factions.

Senior Brother Duan Muyang forced a smile uglier than a cry on his face: “Senior, I wonder what… what is the relationship between this Lin Ye and you all?”

“What relationship?”

The old man’s face held a hint of mockery: “Are you blind, or are you deaf too? Did you not hear the words ‘he is the hope of our Human Race’?”

“The hope of the Human Race?!”

Senior Brother Duan Muyang’s pupils constricted.

This title is too grand! And it’s recognized by the Guardians of the ancient city!

How is that possible?!

Who dares to call himself the hope of the Human Race?

In ancient times, the Human Emperor was the hope of the Human Race. Could it be that Lin Ye will become another Human Emperor… Right, the Human Emperor Sword!!!

Senior Brother Duan Muyang suddenly remembered that when Lin Ye fought him earlier, he actually took out the Human Emperor Sword. Could it be that Lin Ye is the Human Emperor’s Legacy holder?

That’s not right either. Even if he has the Human Emperor Sword, he doesn’t have the Human Emperor Body.

Thinking of this, Senior Brother Duan Muyang looked at the old man and said in a deep voice: “Senior, there must be a misunderstanding here. Look at this young… this young Fellow Daoist Lin Ye. He indeed possesses the Human Emperor Sword, but he doesn’t have the Human Emperor Body!”

“Is it possible that he stole the Human Emperor Sword?! In the future, only when the Human Emperor Body is born can the Human Emperor Sword truly exert its power!”

Hearing this, the mockery on the old man’s face intensified: “You think we consider him the hope of the Human Race because of the Human Emperor Sword?”

“Hmm?”

Senior Brother Duan Muyang asked with a confused expression: “Isn’t that so?”

“Of course not!”

“Then why?!”

Facing the hysterical Senior Brother Duan Muyang, the old man slowly said: “You Xuanyang Academy should also know a thing or two about the current predicament of our Human Race. Even if His Majesty the Human Emperor were to revive, he probably wouldn’t be able to resolve the current dilemma.”

“And Lin Ye, at such a young age, he can become a Supreme, even a Supreme who can contend with a Great Emperor. This is enough to prove his terrifying talent and potential!”

“The Human Emperor Sword is His Majesty the Human Emperor’s personal sword, but in Lin Ye’s hands, it will not be buried; it can even shine brighter than in ancient times!”

“This is why we say he is the hope of the Human Race. If you dare to touch him, you are a sinner of our Human Race!”

Sinner?!

Senior Brother Duan Muyang looked at Lin Ye in disbelief. He hadn’t expected Lin Ye to be so important in the eyes of these Guardians.

So important that the Guardians even believed Lin Ye could surpass the Human Emperor.

After all, if Lin Ye could solve a predicament that the Human Emperor couldn’t, wasn’t that saying he could surpass the Human Emperor, what else could it be?!

Senior Brother Duan Muyang suppressed the anger in his heart and spoke to the old man again: “Senior, there’s a misunderstanding here. He and I…”

“Shut up!”

Before Senior Brother Duan Muyang could finish speaking, the old man directly interrupted him: “Now, take your people and get out. If I ever catch you trying to harm Lin Ye again, then your Xuanyang Academy can just wait for its demise!”

“You should know the Guardians’ obsession with the future of the Human Race! Whoever blocks us dies!!!”

Hearing this, no matter how angry Senior Brother Duan Muyang was, he could only suppress it.

Because with so many Guardians present, he couldn’t even think of attacking Lin Ye, let alone confidently defeat any one of them.

Whoosh…

Senior Brother Duan Muyang exhaled lightly, his expression changing to a smile. He turned around and bowed to Lin Ye.

Then he looked at the old man again: “This matter is my fault. I truly didn’t realize this young Fellow Daoist is a Guardian of our Human Race. My Xuanyang Academy has always prioritized the great cause of the Human Race. Senior’s lesson today is well-received. I will take my people and leave now.”

With that, Senior Brother Duan Muyang waved his hand, directly conjuring a curtain of light that enveloped the Disciples of Xuanyang Academy.

As the light shimmered, everyone from Xuanyang Academy disappeared from their original spot.

Watching Senior Brother Duan Muyang leave.

A Middle-aged Man and a woman among the Guardians exchanged glances and also disappeared from their original spot. The old man saw their actions, his pupils slightly constricted, but he said nothing.

…

Senior Brother Duan Muyang led the people from Xuanyang Academy away from the cave, traversing the Void Realm. His face showed extreme anger and malice visible to the naked eye.

“Liu Qingxian, you are mine! You can only be mine! When I catch you, I will ruthlessly ravage you!”

“And Lin Ye, you must die. If you don’t die, won’t you carry out a major purge against my Xuanyang Academy after you achieve Dao? So you just die in the Blood Road! Want to achieve Dao? You dream, I…”

Swish!!!

Just as Senior Brother Duan Muyang was cursing Lin Ye, a distortion appeared in the space before him, and then a man and a woman slowly walked out of the space.

Seeing the newcomers, the malicious expression on Senior Brother Duan Muyang’s face vanished, replaced by a gentle smile.

“Seniors, Guardians, is there anything else? If there is, please feel free to command. Anything I can do, I will do.”

“Oh~ really?”

The Middle-aged Man said teasingly.

Hearing this, although Senior Brother Duan Muyang found the other party’s tone a bit strange, he still nodded: “Naturally, you two are the Guardians of the ancient city, the Sages of my Human Race. I naturally agree to everything.”

The Middle-aged Man patted Senior Brother Duan Muyang’s shoulder and chuckled: “As expected of someone from the Academy. Actually, we two didn’t come for anything else, we just wanted to borrow your head.”

“Just a mere head, I… Hmm?!”

Realizing what was said, Senior Brother Duan Muyang looked at the two in front of him with horror: “Seniors, what do you mean by this?!”

“What do we mean? Heh heh…”

The Middle-aged Man sneered: “If I’m not mistaken, you’re thinking about how to get revenge on Lin Ye, aren’t you? For a potential threat like you, we must eliminate him!”

“Seniors! I’ve already left with my people, don’t bully others too much!”
