The emotionless man in black robe
The Grand Elder was first startled, then seemed to understand something.
When they first exchanged blows, he noticed that the Six-armed Monstrous Bear was staring intently at him, and the reason might be that his aura was the strongest among everyone present.
Now, abandoning him and turning towards the Black-Robed Person, it was mostly because his aura was stronger and more obvious than his own.
And he was a Peak Sky Profound Realm expert, so if someone's aura could be stronger than his, could it be the Sanyin Realm?
But that Black-Robed Person was clearly not any of the four Sect Masters, so besides the four Sect experts, were there other Sanyin Realm experts who entered the White Wind Plains?
The thoughts in the Grand Elder's mind were quickly cast aside; he no longer cared who the Black-Robed Person was, only whether he could help him escape.
Seeing the Six-armed Monstrous Bear pounce towards the Black-Robed Person, the Grand Elder did not flee immediately.
He was already prepared to use a secret technique; if that Black-Robed Person was truly a Sanyin Realm expert, then he might be able to join forces with him to slay this savage bear.
If not, then as long as he could stall him for a moment or two, he would immediately unleash a secret technique and escape.
But the next moment, an unbelievable scene unfolded before his eyes.
That Black-Robed Person was precisely a man dressed in a black robe, with a pale and stern face.
Seeing the Six-armed Monstrous Bear pounce towards him, the Black-Robed Person did not even stop his steps, merely raised his hand and struck down with a palm towards the monstrous bear.
As this palm descended.
At this instant, it was as if the colors of the entire world converged upon the Black-Robed Person's palm.
Where his palm print enveloped, it was as if the entire sky had collapsed.
The Grand Elder knew this was just an illusion; in reality, it was the Law of Heaven and Earth that was being stirred by the Black-Robed Person's attack.
Only Sanyin Realm experts would possess the power of the Law of Heaven and Earth when they attacked.
But to stir the Law of Heaven and Earth to such an extent, the Grand Elder had never seen it before.
Under this palm that seemed like the sky was collapsing, the incredibly fierce Six-armed Monstrous Bear appeared incredibly small at this moment.
With a sound of explosion, like a punctured ball, the Six-armed Monstrous Bear's entire head was directly smashed by the Black-Robed Person's palm.
Without even a chance to let out a cry, the Six-armed Monstrous Bear's massive body subsequently burst into pieces, scattering, its enormous head turning into a rain of blood, drifting all around.
And the Black-Robed Person acted as if nothing had happened, not even taking another glance, calmly retracting his palm and continuing to walk forward.
From beginning to end, his steps never paused for a moment.
The stunned Grand Elder only then snapped out of his daze, and quickly chased after him.
The several Black Serpent Sect Disciples who were a little further away exchanged glances, all showing excitement, and also chased after him.
In this White Wind Plains, if one could follow such an expert, it would be too safe!
"Fellow Daoist... no, Senior! This Senior, please wait!"
The Grand Elder shouted as he felt incredibly excited.
Imperial-Grade Profound Skill!
He was certain that what the Black-Robed Person had just used in that palm strike was definitely a profound skill of Huang-rank or above!
Only Imperial-Grade Profound Skills could stir the Law of Heaven and Earth to such an extent.
What kind of concept was this?
The entire Southern Region could not find more than a few Imperial-Grade Profound Skills.
They only existed within those transcendent forces, revered as unteachable secrets, kept under lock and key.
Even first-rate forces like them did not have the qualifications to witness them.
A Sanyin Realm expert who mastered Imperial-Grade Profound Skills, his power was simply unimaginable.
Even though the Black-Robed Person heard the shouts, he neither sped up nor slowed down, nor did he glance at the Grand Elder and the others, so the Grand Elder and the others quickly caught up to him.
The Grand Elder immediately bowed deeply, cupping his fists, his respect so profound that he almost prostrated himself.
"Thank you, Senior, for saving my life."
"May I ask which force Senior hails from? This Junior is the Grand Elder of the Black Serpent Sect, and I humbly request Senior to bestow your esteemed name, so I may express my gratitude."
The Black Serpent Sect group immediately clustered behind the Black-Robed Person, chattering away, profusely thanking him and lavishly praising him.
"Senior's divine power is simply astonishing! This humble one's eyes have been opened!"
"Senior's cultivation is truly earth-shattering; to have the fortune to witness it today, this humble one is truly blessed for three lifetimes!"
"This humble one will never forget Senior's life-saving grace and is willing to serve as a beast of burden to repay Senior!"
However.
No matter what they said, the Black-Robed Person remained unresponsive, merely walking forward in silence.
At this point, the group, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, had the leisure to observe the direction, and the Grand Elder noticed that the Black-Robed Person was heading north, and his heart immediately stirred.
"Senior also seems to be heading to the Baifeng Secret Realm."
"Why have I never seen Senior in person before?"
"But that's not the point. The point is, we also wish to enter the Baifeng Secret Realm."
"May we have the honor of following Senior, to offer some service?"
However, the Black-Robed Person still remained silent, as if he hadn't heard their words at all.
It was utterly unwise to harbor any lucky about such an expert; if the other party didn't agree, stubbornly following them might anger them instead.
The Grand Elder was well aware of this, so he didn't dare to simply follow behind the Black-Robed Person.
But thinking of their Sect Master being dead, and with only a few of them left, once they encountered other Sects, they would only be beaten, so he still mustered his courage and continued to persuade.
And if they could follow the Black-Robed Person, or even receive his protection, the situation would be vastly different.
"Senior, are you from the Southern Region? My Black Serpent Sect has some standing in the Southern Region; if Senior doesn't mind, you may visit my Black Serpent Sect later. The entire Black Serpent Sect will surely sweep the floor and prepare a warm welcome for you."
"Senior, this Junior was fortunate enough to obtain a Blood Bone Jade, which is a Sanyin Realm treasure. If Senior does not disdain it, this Junior is willing to present it with both hands."
"Senior, if you do not have a Sect, my Black Serpent Sect is willing to offer the position of Supreme Grand Elder..."
"My Black Serpent Sect recently cultivated several Black Scaled Vicious Dragons of pure bloodline, if Senior is interested..."
To pique the Black-Robed Person's interest, the Grand Elder almost racked his brains, trying every possible way to curry favor.
But the Black-Robed Person remained silent from beginning to end, not even giving the slightest response, as if he were just a walking, emotionless statue.
"Senior, my Black Serpent Sect is a place of outstanding people and natural beauty, located in the Black Water Marsh, and many of our female Disciples are as beautiful as celestial beings, quite famous even in the Southern Region. If Senior does not disdain them, they would surely be honored to serve Senior..."
In the end, he even brought up women, and the Grand Elder felt more and more that the Black-Robed Person was so cold he didn't seem human, almost despairing.
But unexpectedly, at this moment, the Black-Robed Person's steps suddenly paused, and his aura seemed to fluctuate for an instant.
It was only for an instant, and then he returned to his original state.
But for the first time, he spoke.
"If you want to follow, then follow. I will act when necessary."
As his voice faded, he once again walked forward without looking back.
Leaving the Grand Elder and the others stunned in place, they only reacted after a moment, their faces filled with wild joy, and they chased after him.
"Senior..."
