Chapter 388 Reuniting with an Old Friend

"I hope so!"

The red-robed old man said with a grave expression:

"This person's cultivation is truly unprecedented. I wonder how he even Cultivates?"

"In today's world, there truly isn't a single person who is his match. My Holy Lotus Sect had some grievances with him back when he was weak; I hope he doesn't remember and suddenly come knocking on our door."

Hearing the red-robed old man's words, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed slightly.

Especially Sima Yutang; his originally calm expression suddenly became extremely unsightly, and cold sweat soaked his back.

As for who exactly that person the red-robed old man spoke of was, there was no need to say the name; everyone present knew.

Besides Blade Demon Yan Chu, who else could make the current Holy Lotus Sect so wary?

The Holy Lotus Sect Venerable was a first-class figure in this world.

Once, he had even considered recruiting Yan Chu into the Holy Lotus Sect. Why had he never mentioned it again since returning from Heavenly Pillar Mountain?

Naturally, it was because he knew there was no hope.

The number one under heaven for four thousand years, who fought across realms against an Upper Realm Divine Ability Realm expert, forcing the Buddhist Sect into seclusion and the Daoist Sect into silence.

This person was like a sharp blade hanging over the heads of everyone present, for fear of when it might fall.

This red-robed old man was precisely the Grand Elder of the Red Lotus Lineage within the Holy Lotus Sect; his words represented the inner thoughts of everyone in the Holy Lotus Sect.

Currently, the person the Holy Lotus Sect feared most was none other than Yan Chu.

"As long as we wait until the grand array is completely set up and the Old Mother descends to the world, even Yan Chu will have to bow his head; he won't be able to stir up any trouble!"

"Everyone, there is no need to be overly anxious!"

At this moment, the white-haired, youthful-looking old man in front of Sima Yutang spoke, giving everyone present a reassuring pill:

"With Yan Chu's cultivation, he faces the threat of Heavenly Tribulation every moment; he won't be running around everywhere."

"Our Holy Sect's actions are also extremely secretive. Perhaps by the time the Old Mother truly descends, Yan Chu won't have noticed a thing."

Everyone nodded slightly upon hearing this.

They had been sending people to monitor the situation across the Central Plains and could receive firsthand information. Currently, all matters within the Sect were proceeding in an orderly fashion.

The old man then turned to the Xiao Hanwen brothers and said:

"Family Head Xiao, since your Xiao Family has joined my Holy Sect, the Sect Master also values you quite highly. I hope you do not fail the Sect Master's trust!"

"When this realm is transformed into the Vacuum Home, you will also be able to obtain a Fruit Position, remaining ageless and immortal forever, living as long as the heavens!"

Xiao Hanwen fell into contemplation upon hearing this, while Xiao Youqi hurriedly guaranteed:

"Immortal Elder, you overstate things. My Xiao Family has always been cooperating with the Holy Sect's actions. Of those three thousand young boys and girls, my Xiao Family offered over a hundred. There are also the Earth Lotus Grass, Ethereal White Bamboo, and other Heaven And Earth Treasures needed for the array; my Xiao Family has contributed quite a lot. You, Elder, should have seen it all."

The old man called the Immortal Elder was the old Sect Master of the Nanshan Sect. In reality, the Holy Lotus Sect was behind this Sect, and the Immortal Elder was a Grand Elder of the White Lotus Lineage of the Holy Lotus Sect, holding a lofty status within the Sect.

"Mhm."

The Immortal Elder stroked his long beard and nodded slowly:

"We naturally see the Xiao Family's efforts, but the more critical the moment, the more we cannot... Hmm?"

Suddenly, the Immortal Elder's voice stopped. He let out a light sound of surprise, rubbed his eyes, and looked diagonally across.

The black-clad old woman had originally been sitting there, but at some unknown point, she had turned into a tall young man who was sitting upright behind the low table, tasting the fruits on the table with great interest.

"Who is it?!! Who are you?!!!"

With a swish, the Immortal Elder abruptly stood up.

This voice was extremely loud, nearly shattering the roof above.

"Master, what's wrong?"

"Immortal Elder, what happened?!!"

At the same time, the Xiao Hanwen brothers and Sima Yutang were all startled into standing up and hurriedly asked.

"Look!"

The Immortal Elder pointed diagonally across:

"Sister Dong is gone!"

"Gone? Isn't Fellow Daoist Dong sitting right there?"

Everyone was completely confused. The black-clad old woman opposite also looked like she didn't know what was happening.

"Huh?"

The Immortal Elder froze, then shook his head and looked over again; it was indeed the familiar black-clad old woman of the Holy Lotus Sect.

"How can this be? Am I seeing things! Could my old eyes be failing me, and I'm having hallucinations?"

The Immortal Elder was bewildered, doubting if he was getting too old and his energy was flagging.

Right at this moment, the several people who were just chattering in concern suddenly went quiet, making the Immortal Elder's heart skip a beat.

Looking over again, he saw the old woman, who had also been showing concern for him a second ago, suddenly have all her skin and hair pulled as if by something, peeling away from her body inch by inch.

In the hall whose doors were originally tightly shut, a gust of Yin wind suddenly rose, swirling up the old woman's peeled flesh and hair, flying out through the cracks in the door.

A living person had vanished right under everyone's noses.

And in the place where she originally stood was a tall, handsome young man in black.

"Yan... Yan..."

Beside him, Sima Yutang pointed at the young man, his whole body shaking like a sieve, a ghost-stricken expression on his face, unable to say a word for a long time.

"Yan what?!!!"

The Immortal Elder roared sharply. He had already guessed the young man's identity in his heart but still wanted confirmation from others.

"Yan Chu!!!"

"Blade Demon Yan Chu!!!!"

Sima Yutang finally roared out this name, as if he had used up all his strength.

This figure, which always hung over his head like a sharp blade, had startled him awake from nightmares countless times, and now it had finally appeared before him again.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

At the moment Sima Yutang's voice fell, several massive booms rang out simultaneously in the hall. The Auras of Celestial Beings erupted at the same time, instantly reducing the entire City Lord's Mansion to ruins.

The Immortal Elder, the Xiao Hanwen brothers, and another Celestial Being Expert of the Holy Lotus Sect all exerted their full strength to flee for their lives toward the distance.

No one had the courage to face Yan Chu as an enemy.

Much less would they overrate themselves and think of stepping forward to fight for their lives.

Whoosh...

A gust of wind like the one before flew out from Yan Chu's sleeve, blowing across the sky at an incomparable speed, passing through the Immortal Elder's chest and bringing up a spray of blood mist.

Then it swirled, blowing toward Xiao Hanwen in another direction, turning a head along with the Primordial Spirit within it into nothingness.

It turned to yet another direction, catching up to Xiao Youqi and that red-robed old man of the Holy Lotus Sect, taking their lives before finally dispersing into the world.

Four Celestial Being Experts, who were no different from gods and immortals in the eyes of the Martial Forest, were merely ants whose lives could be taken at will here with Yan Chu.

And using the xun wind cauldron to kill could minimize the exposure of his Aura, so as not to trigger the strongest Heavenly Tribulation.

Thud!

In the hall that had already turned into ruins, Sima Yutang knelt on the ground, his head pressed deeply against the floor:

"Great Hero Yan, spare my life!"

"This lowly one has long since given up any thought of being Great Hero Yan's enemy. I beg you, for the sake of my meager strength, just let me go like a fart!"
