Chapter 1555: Chapter 1555: Preserve Your Dog Life for Future Revenge
"Good, good, indeed I, Ao Fangchen, have grown old. Even a youngster dares to ignore me now." Ao Fangchenâs face was filled with anger, and also with desolation.
"Elder Ao, the descendants of the Guardian of the Gods from various nations are crucial to the Continent. Thatâs why the Holy Master invited them back to the Holy Court. I hope Elder Ao can prioritize the bigger picture," said Ye Lanfeng.
"Hahaha, what, youâre trying to use the Holy Master to suppress me? One of you was one of the two strongest Saints a thousand years ago, and the other is the first Saint after a thousand years. You shamelessly teamed up to hurt me, yet youâre still talking to me about the bigger picture? Iâll fight you to the death!" Ao Fangchenâs dignity was heavily damaged, he couldnât listen to reason. With an angry roar, he slapped his chest and spat a mouthful of blood.
The blood mist burned like a flame, it was the Blood Sacrifice Technique.
Even an ordinary Sword Master would gain a significant boost in strength by using the Blood Sacrifice Technique, let alone him?
In an instant, a huge array pattern appeared beneath his feet, and a rumbling sound echoed from the sky. The entire Holy Sword Peak was enveloped in a web of lightning.
By the looks of it, he was prepared to destroy his own cultivation, even sacrifice his life, to perish together with them.
Mu Hanyan never expected this old man to be more extreme than Jin Qisheng. It was just a small loss of face, yet he was willing to throw his life away.
"What the fuck, are you stupid? Sacrificing your life for face!" Jiang Yuzhe howled.
"Exactly, only Ling Baobaoâs words are the truth: If we can fight, we fight; if we canât, we run. Life is most important. Keep your life, and revenge can wait ten years," Zirong also howled, echoing Ling Baobaoâs oft-repeated philosophy.
Huayueâs mouth twitched slightly, at such a moment, these two were still joking? And the term "life of a dog," he didnât agree with that. Itâs about valuing life, why call it a "dogâs life"? Although Baobaoâs words were very reasonable. In fact, Han Yan had always acted this way, but Baobaoâs words summarized it well.
At this, not only did Mu Hanyan and the othersâ expressions change dramatically, but even the Holy Court Disciples below the peak turned pale. Once the power of this array was fully unleashed, they probably wouldnât escape death either.
"Elder Ao, stop!" In mid-air, the Holy Masterâs authoritative voice suddenly came, a seal dropped from the sky, enveloping Ao Fangchen within.
Ao Fangchenâs body trembled violently, and the array beneath his feet quickly disappeared.
"Greetings, Holy Master! Greetings, Holy Master!" The Holy Court Disciples breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly bowed to the Holy Master, only then realizing their backs were soaked in cold sweat, and their legs felt weak, as if they had just walked through the Ghost Gate.
"Elder Ao, donât you know what this Holy Sword Peak is, donât you know the prohibitions I previously set?" The Holy Master asked Ao Fangchen angrily.
"So what, Mu Hanyan caused my disciple to be seriously injured with his cultivation ruined, Iâm just seeking justice from him. Jian Wuchen and Ye Lanfeng stepped in to stop me, should I just swallow my anger?" Ao Fangchen said indignantly, not backing down even in front of the Holy Master.
"I just heard about Yutangâs injury, Iâm afraid some of his actions were also inappropriate. In my view, it would be better to investigate the truth before taking any action. If Mu Hanyan really intended to harm him, I will certainly seek justice for him," the Holy Master said.
"Hmph, whatâs there to investigate? Even if Yutang did some wrong, it was just youthful ignorance, not a major mistake. Mu Hanyan and the others are unharmed, yet Yutang is seriously injured with his cultivation ruined, itâs clearly deliberate harm!" Ao Fangchen said angrily.
Mu Hanyan was amazed by this old manâs reasoning. In front of the Holy Master, he was still being so unreasonable. According to him, as long as Han Yutang didnât kill anyone, it wasnât a big mistake, just being willful. If he did kill someone, it would be an accidental death, deservedly so, and still just being willful.
"Elder Ao, you canât say it like that..." The Holy Master seemed to share Mu Hanyanâs thoughts, said with a bitter smile. But before he could finish, Ao Fangchen interrupted.
"Then how should it be said? Holy Master, donât forget who saved you back then. During the great war a thousand years ago, six of the seven elders of Divine Elder Peak died, I was the only one left. Yutangâs grandfather and maternal grandfather even died without their bodies being intact, both families have one descendant each, can you bear to see him become a cripple?" Ao Fangchen said with a choked voice, recalling the death of the other elders of Divine Elder Peak, he was deeply saddened and full of anger.
"Donât worry, Elder Ao, I will keep Yutangâs matter in mind. Please return to the Divine Elder Peak first, I will definitely give you an explanation." The Holy Master sighed and said.
Not just those Holy Court Disciples, even Mu Hanyan could feel the Holy Masterâs helplessness.
The seven elders of Divine Elder Peak had saved his life, among them, Han Yutangâs grandfather and maternal grandfather died tragically to save him. How could he turn against Ao Fangchen? The reason Ao Fangchen had his current status and reputation, why he was so arrogant and domineering, ultimately came down to this reason. People who rely on their merits and seniority arenât only found in the mundane countries, but also in the Holy Court. And Han Yutangâs playboy behavior, acting recklessly without knowing the severity, also stemmed from this reason.
It canât be blamed on the Holy Masterâs weakness, as the entire Holy Court Continent has always upheld the values of Ren Yi, although in essence strength reigns supreme, the Holy Master, with his identity, absolutely canât do something ungrateful. If he showed no difference between Ao Fangchen, Han Yutang, and others, it would only chill the hearts of the older generation of masters in the Holy Court. Who would still be willing to risk their lives for the Holy Court?
So, many times, he could only turn a blind eye.
"Then I will wait for the Holy Masterâs explanation," Ao Fangchen snorted coldly and swaggered off.
Even though he was used to being arrogant, he still had to give the Holy Master some face in front of so many people. Moreover, he knew that today, in this situation, he couldnât possibly harm Mu Hanyan, the Holy Masterâs words just gave him a way out.
"You may disperse now too," the Holy Master waved to the Holy Court Disciples below the peak.
The crowd, already drenched in cold sweat, dared not delay any longer. After saluting the Holy Master, they quickly left.
"Iâm sorry to have embarrassed you, every family has a skeleton in the closet," the Holy Master said self-deprecatingly to Mu Hanyan and the others.
At this moment, the Holy Master no longer had the majestic aura of a ruler of the Continent, deciding life and death with a single thought. Instead, he appeared kind and somewhat approachable, with a hint of helplessness, much like a family elder, making Mu Hanyan and the others feel a sense of closeness.
"The Holy Master speaks too seriously, it was my actions that were too reckless, causing you trouble," Mu Hanyan said somewhat awkwardly. However, if time were to rewind, Mu Hanyan would still act the same way. Han Yutang, the kind of person who, if let go, wouldnât feel any gratitude, but instead would feel humiliated and come back with a vengeance.
