At that moment, Hua Tianba and the Elder from the Heavenly Sword Pavilion were completely astonished as they watched Xie Yuquan and Ye Luo chatting happily.
They naturally recognized Xie Yuquan, who was the Sect Leader of the Hidden Sectâs top force, the Jiu Hua Sect.
Although the Heavenly Sword Pavilion was also considered a top-tier force, it was incomparable to the Jiu Hua Sect. The former was at the bottom of the top-tier forces, while the latter was at the pinnacle, truly incomparable.
And this youngster not only knew the Sect Leader of the Jiu Hua Sect but also seemed to be on very familiar terms with him.
Seeing this, Hua Tianba shuddered involuntarily, his face looking extremely ugly.
He had never expected this youngster to know the Jiu Hua Sect Sect Leader, and to be quite familiar with him; he was now very glad that he hadnât done anything to the youngster.
Otherwise, once he had angered the Jiu Hua Sect Sect Leader, it wasnât just him; the entire Heavenly Sword Pavilion might have been obliterated. At this moment, his body was breaking out in a cold sweat.
"What faction are you from, and what do you want?"
At this moment, Xie Yuquanâs gaze swept toward Hua Tianba, whose imposing demeanor as a Controlling Qi Realm powerhouse nearly made Hua Tianba, a mere first-level Hua Yuan Realm practitioner, kneel down.
The three ninth-level Hua Yuan Realm Elders of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion looked extremely solemn, not daring to even breathe, cursing Hua Tianba internally. If it werenât for this man seeking revenge, they wouldnât have ended up in this situation, now with their lives completely out of their own hands.
After all, this was a Controlling Qi Realm powerhouse, someone who could crush them with a flick of his hand.
"They seem to be from the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, wanting to kill me."
Brother Ye spoke with a playful tone.
"Heavenly Sword Pavilion!"
Xie Yuquanâs eyes narrowed, and a terrifying pressure surged forth.
Thump...
Immediately, Hua Tianba and the three Heavenly Sword Pavilion Elders were so overwhelmed by this oppressive force that they knelt on the ground, their faces turning extremely pale.
"Iâm telling you, Brother Ye is a friend of my Jiu Hua Sect. If the Heavenly Sword Pavilion wants to mess with him, donât blame me, Xie Yuquan, for being ruthless toward your Heavenly Sword Pavilion."
Xie Yuquan spoke coldly.
Hearing Xie Yuquanâs words, Hua Tianba and the three Heavenly Sword Pavilion Elders trembled violently, their faces extremely pale and foreheads breaking out in cold sweat.
Hua Tianba hurriedly bowed and said, "Sect Leader Xie, it was all my fault for being blind and offending Brother Ye. Please forgive me and Mr. Ye."
"Hmph, leave immediately! If I see you from the Heavenly Sword Pavilion daring to cross Brother Ye again, then thereâs no need for your Heavenly Sword Pavilion to exist anymore."
Xie Yuquanâs tone was laden with arrogance, displaying the formidable aura befitting the Sect Leader of the Jiu Hua Sect.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Hua Tianba nodded repeatedly, and then the four of them hurriedly left the area.
"Sect Leader Xie, many thanks!"
Ye Luo looked at Xie Yuquan and spoke mildly, knowing that even though he could have handled these men himself, having the Jiu Hua Sectâs deterrence was naturally the best outcome. Now, Hua Tianba and those from the Heavenly Sword Pavilion probably wouldnât dare bother him.
"Brother Ye, you donât need to be so polite. Previously, you saved my wife and greatly assisted the Jiu Hua Sect, allowing Jing Wu and Die Wu to have a chance to be together. Even Die Wu was saved by your Elixirs. It can be said that both I, Xie Yuquan, and the Jiu Hua Sect owe you a lot. This little favor is truly nothing,"
Xie Yuquan shook his head.
"Brother Ye, you came to look for the Lingxu Grass as well, right?"
Xie Yuquan looked at Ye Luo and spoke again.
"Hmm, I heard about this thing, so I came to try my luck."
Ye Luo nodded.
"Now that the Heng Mountain hosts many Hidden Sect powers, finding the Lingxu Grass wonât be easy with such strong competition."
Xie Yuquan said in a deep voice.
"Itâs all about luck, what if Iâm fortunate enough to accidentally find the Lingxu Grass?"
Ye Luo said, with a mischievous smile on his lips.
On the other side of Heng Mountain, a group of people dressed in Elixir Sect robes appeared, led by Wu Yong, the Elixir Sect Elder who had appeared at Snow Mountain during the birth of the Spiritual Medicine, his power reaching the Controlling Qi Realm.
"Notify everyone, we must obtain this Lingxu Grass at any cost."
Wu Yong commanded coldly to a group of Elixir Sect powerhouses.
"Yes, Elder!"
These powerhouses, all above the Spirit Sea Realm, nodded and each released their Spiritual Sense to search for the Lingxu Grass.
After meeting Xie Yuquan, Ye Luo also joined them in the search. Having Xie Yuquan, a powerhouse in the Controlling Qi Realm, by his side meant Ye Luo could avoid much trouble.
Just like now...
At that moment, a group of monks wearing robes and with shaved heads appeared, the monks from Shaolin Temple, among them Zhi Gang.
Several of them, monks emitting profound spiritual energy, each possessed strength at the ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm, and one of them even reached the level of the Controlling Qi Realm.
"Elder, thatâs the man who obtained the Buddha Ancestorâs relic. Several of our Arhat Hall elders were also killed by him."
Zhi Gang, his eyes flashing with cold light, hurriedly spoke to the monk beside him, who had the power of the Controlling Qi Realm.
This elderly monk, dressed in a red kasaya and with a shaved head, his face solemn, emitted an immensely strong aura, and was the head of the Arhat Hall in Shaolin Temple, Wu Wei.
Hearing Zhi Gangâs words, Arhat Hall leader Wu Weiâs eyes burst with a terrifying light, scanning Ye Luo with an imposing gaze.
Faced with the eye pressure from the Arhat Hall leader, Ye Luo remained calm, his face showing no fear.
"Wu Wei, what are you trying to do?"
At that moment, Xie Yuquan looked at Wu Wei and coldly shouted, his aura terrifying.
"Amitabha, Sect Leader Xie, this gentleman acquired a precious relic left by our Shaolin Temple ancestors, and we must ask for its return!"
The five monk said, hands together, as they looked at Xie Yuquan, then again at Ye Luo:
"Sir, please return our Shaolin Templeâs precious relic. As for the matter of the sacrificed elders of our Arhat Hall, I can let bygones be bygones."
"I already gave you the relic, only to have you smash it; that is not my fault."
Ye Luo retorted with a huff.
"Hmph, the relic is a precious treasure of our Shaolin Temple; how could it be so fragile to be smashed? It was certainly fake."
Zhi Gang glared at Ye Luo and coldly retorted.
"What I said was indeed true. If you donât believe me, it canât be helped, but what you shattered was indeed your Buddha Ancestorâs relic."
Ye Luo said calmly.
