Chapter 967 - My Master Isn’t Someone You Can Afford To Offend

For both Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong, they had never been in such a situation in the past. It had always been their opponents who had to flee.

One of them was the high and mighty Sect Master of the Nether Sect with 100,000 followers while the other was an expert in the sword path and was widely known as the fearsome Sword Devil. Although they were facing danger now, how could they easily lower their heads?

'Why didn't he kill us immediately? There are actually many reasons for this…'

In the end, Yu Shangrong boldly met Xiao Yunhe's eyes and asked, "You dare to kill me?"

Yu Shangrong's bearing, attitude, gaze, and especially the way he blocked the palm seal made Xiao Yunhe admire him even more. In fact, the three blackguards with him were inferior to Yu Shangrong in regard to bearing, attitude, and talent. As the former Tower Master of the Black Tower Council, he had met countless people and had a discerning eye. His judgment would not be wrong.

Despite his thoughts, Xiao Yunhe said without a change in his expression, "Why won't I dare to kill you?"

Yu Shangrong said, "My senior brother and I have long seen through life and death and place no importance on them. The number of people who died in our hands is numerous.. How happy is life, and how bitter is death; in the end, all joys and sorrows still return to dust."

Xiao Yunhe chuckled softly before he said, "Your thoughts are somewhat similar to mine. Unfortunately, young man, you have to understand that this is a world where the strong prey on the weak. Sometimes living is nothing but an extravagant wish…"

Meanwhile, the captain standing next to Xiao Yunhe did not understand why Xiao Yunhe would waste so many words with the two people in front of them. Therefore, he said, "Tower Master, there's no need to waste words with them. All we need to do is kill them and take the life heart."

"Blindly killing people will not solve the problem," Xiao Yunhe said to the captain. Then, he continued to say to Yu Shangrong, "Young men, I can tell your cultivation bases are only average, but your talent is high. If both of you are willing to follow me, you won't suffer a loss."

"I'm afraid that won't work." Yu Zhenghai shook his head.

Xiao Yunhe frowned slightly, "Give me a reason not to kill you then."

Yu Zhenghai said slightly threateningly, "Even if I agree to it, I'm afraid my master won't agree to it."

Although Xiao Yunhe had never been spoken to in such a threatening manner before, he was not angry. Out of caution, he asked, "Your master?"

Since Yu Shangrong was used to acting alone and relying on himself, he only remembered his master when he heard Yu Zhenghai's words. He immediately said, "You're the former Tower Master of the Black Tower Council, right?"

Xiao Yunhe wavered slightly. Since the two people in front of him knew his identity, and yet, they remained confident in front of him, there was no doubt they had an extraordinary background. After a moment, he replied, "That's right."

Yu Shangrong nodded before he said, "Well, I'm afraid you don't know my master. However, I can tell you that my master doesn't like people threatening him and people who put on airs."

The captain of the blackguards scoffed. "Put on airs? If your master is so great, why isn't he here to save you? When the Tower Master was at his peak, I'm afraid your master was still playing with mud."

Yu Shangrong said, "Real men don't need to talk about past achievements. If you insist on talking about past achievements, I'm afraid you're not even worthy to carry my master's shoes."

"You!" The captain glared at Yu Shangrong and was about to attack when Xiao Yunhe raised his hand to stop him.

For these two mere Ten-leaf cultivators to speak in such a manner to Thousand Realms Whirling experts, it was clear they had a strong backing.

Xiao Yunhe mulled over his thoughts for a moment before he said, "Who's your master? If he's famous, perhaps, I've heard of him."

Yu Shangrong smiled indifferently before he said, "Do you know Wu Guangping?"

Xiao Yunhe furrowed his brows as killing intent flashed in his eyes. "Wu Guangping is your master? There's a path to heaven, but you refuse to take them. Instead, you insist on barging into hell!"

Xiao Yunhe raised his right hand immediately. A hexagonal weapon glowing with purple light appeared in his hand immediately.

Yu Shangrong remained calm as he said disdainfully, "How can that person be worthy of becoming my master? You're making the same mistakes he made…"

"Hmm?" Xia Yunhe withdrew the hexagonal weapon.

The captain said to Xiao Yunhe in a low voice, "It's said that Wu Guangping is killed during his first mission in the red lotus domain."

Xiao Yunhe had also heard some rumors from Wu Chao before this. He looked at Yu Shangrong and asked, "Your master killed Wu Guangping?"

"What's so surprising? He only had eight Birth Charts. My master only used one palm strike to kill him," Yu Shangrong replied.

"..."

Yu Zhenghai chimed in as he swept his gaze across Xiao Yunhe and the blackguards, "My master's tracking ability is unrivaled. He has a bad temper. If you're going to make a move, I suggest you first remove the marks on our bodies and destroy the evidence after that."

Yu Shangrong glanced at Yu Zhenghai. Was that not saying too much?

As expected, the captain said, "You're right. As the saying goes, 'Water from afar can't put out a fire'. I have a million ways to reduce you to ashes and get rid of the evidence before your master finds you." Then, he bowed to Xiao Yunhe and said, "Tower Master, these two have been rude to you. Let me deal with them. I guarantee to do a good job!"

Xiao Yunhe shook his head, refusing the captain's request. Then, he asked, "Is your master a golden lotus cultivator?"

Yu Zhenghai laughed and manifested his avatar immediately.

Buzz!

A Ten-leaf golden avatar appeared immediately. The dazzling golden karmic fire burned around the lotus.

After a moment, Yu Zhenghai withdrew his avatar and said, "You're much smarter than him…"

All of a sudden, Xiao Yunhe recalled the old man who chased after Wu Chao in the golden lotus domain. Then, he asked with a frown, "Is your master the Pavilion Master of the golden lotus domain's Evil Sky Pavilion?"

Yu Shangrong was slightly surprised. "You know my master?"

"..." Xiao Yunhe's eyelids twitched. Indeed, it was that old man. His frown deepened when he recalled the six fire spirit stones. After a moment, he suppressed the surprise in his heart and said, "I met him once. I didn't expect to meet his disciples here."

Yu Zhenghai said, "Since you know my master, you should know his temper."

"Indeed. His temper is rather bad. If it weren't for my six fire spirit stones, Wu Chao would've died," Xiao Yunhe said with a sigh.

When the captain heard this, he said angrily, "Tower Master, he took your six fire spirit stones?! Great, this is a fine time for us to take revenge!"

…

In the Evil Sky Pavilion.

Lu Zhou frowned slightly.

Xiao Yunhe was quite tactful and knew not to make enemies easily. As expected of the former Tower Master of the Black Tower Council. Even if he had lost five Birth Charts, his knowledge and experience were not something people could compare to.

He continued to observe the situation. 

…

When the captain of the blackguard saw the lack of reply from Xiao Yunhe, he continued to say, "Tower Master, we have to get rid of the root of the problem so there won't be problems in the future!"

…

Lu Zhou suddenly grew furious.

Buzz!

He instinctively raised his hand and shouted, "You don't know what's good for you!"

Lu Zhou had no reason, and his heart was immediately burning with anger.

A 400 to 500-foot Thousand Realms Whirling avatar towered in the sky above the Evil Sky Pavilion's eastern pavilion. The golden astrolabe was like the sun, illuminating the entire Golden Court Mountain.

Boom!

Shen Xi, Li Xiaomo, and the other prominent figures from the sect in the golden lotus domain raised their heads immediately.

A golden Great Vajra Wheel Palm Seal broke the gates of the eastern pavilion and flew out.

Upon seeing this, Pan Zhong shouted, "Cr*p! Protect the barrier!"

"I'll do it." Shen Xi flashed up to the sky and used his huge black astrolabe to block the incoming palm seal.

Boom!

Shen Xi felt a huge force slam against his astrolabe. His arms went numb immediately, and the astrolabe trembled. His hair stood on ends immediately. He was shocked as he looked at the towering golden Thousand Realms Whirling avatar above the eastern pavilion. 'Why's the difference in our strength so big when we both have four Birth Charts?'
