Chapter 922: Chapter 919 Secret Talk

"Master, please don’t be like this. Brother Ye is truly here to request a talisman," Luo Jingcheng weakly said.

"Master, are you trying to take out your frustration on Ye Xuan because you got a beating from the three senior uncles?" Zhang Jingtong stated bluntly.

These words made Zhao Yuanxi’s mouth twitch.

These two silly disciples really know how to hit a sore spot.

Zhao Yuanxi looked at Ye Xuan with a dark face and a hint of warning, "Stop spouting nonsense in front of my disciples."

Ye Xuan shrugged, looking innocent, "I didn’t say anything."

"Since Young Friend Ye is here to request a talisman from the Master, this is significant. We should go inside to discuss," the slightly hunchbacked elder, Zhao Yuanxi’s senior brother Zuo Yuanshan, said softly.

The other three elders also kept a close eye on Ye Xuan.

While major forces like Wind and Thunder Mountain wanted to investigate Ye Xuan, they were unable to due to the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect’s obstruction. However, Dragon Tiger Mountain knew everything about him.

Long ago, back in the East Desolate, they had already noticed Ye Xuan.

Specifically, it started when Qiao Xinyu descended upon the East Desolate, that’s when they began paying attention.

Especially after Qiao Xinyu made contact with Ye Xuan; they prioritized investigating him further.

Although Dragon Tiger Mountain has few people, their methods are extraordinary, far surpassing those of other major forces.

They could easily investigate someone.

Therefore, Ye Xuan’s arrival did not make the four elders feel at ease.

Because the man in front of them was unfathomable!

"Alright, let’s discuss inside," Ye Xuan smiled faintly, not showing any signs of being intimidated.

Luo Jingcheng’s expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and he quietly passed a Divine Talisman to Ye Xuan, letting him hide it in his sleeve.

This made Ye Xuan quite amused.

This little guy is quite endearing.

Too bad he’s a guy.

Of course, Luo Jingcheng’s little action did not escape the four Heavenly Masters’ observation, but they didn’t care.

While Luo Jingcheng is indeed a minor Heavenly Master, they were authentic Heavenly Masters themselves, not afraid of a mere Earth Tunneling Talisman in Ye Xuan’s hand.

They had a thousand ways to deal with an Earth Tunneling Talisman.

"Please," Zuo Yuanshan made a gesture for Ye Xuan to proceed.

Without any unnecessary words, Ye Xuan walked directly towards the Daoist Temple.

The four elders followed behind him.

Their manner seemed to suggest luring him into a trap.

Luo Jingcheng watched with some worry.

Although this was the first meeting with Brother Ye, he felt a strong sense of familiarity during their short interaction, fearing his master would trouble Ye Xuan.

"Master." At this moment, Zhang Jingtong called out.

"Huh? What’s wrong?" Zhao Yuanxi turned back, puzzled.

Zhang Jingtong said earnestly, "He’s a tremendously good person."

Zhao Yuanxi’s face turned as black as ink, choosing to ignore Zhang Jingtong.

Zhang Jingtong watched as they entered the Daoist Temple and closed the door, softly muttering, "He once saved all living beings."

Lv Jingyun, standing closest to Zhang Jingtong, heard this clearly. She suddenly looked up at the gate of the temple, then turned to Zhang Jingtong, who seemed to be in low spirits, feeling a wave of astonishment rise within her.

Zhou Jingdu also fell into deep thought.

For a moment, the five remained silent.

Inside the Daoist Temple.

The four elders sat cross-legged in different directions, leaving Ye Xuan in the center.

It had the semblance of a court trial.

Ye Xuan sat cross-legged, facing Heavenly Master Zhao Yuanxi, and calmly said, "To be honest, Zhang Qingfeng didn’t leave you any talisman, not a single one, right?"

"You know nothing!" Third Senior Uncle Feng Yuande cursed grumblingly.

Zhao Yuanxi fixed his gaze on Ye Xuan, his eyes narrowing slightly, and said slowly, "Third Senior Brother, calm down. I’m quite curious about what position you hold in the Revenge Lineage?"

Ye Xuan remained unperturbed, speaking leisurely, "The highest position in the Revenge Lineage is the Chief. You can consider me as the Chief."

The four were shocked, but quickly dismissed it as unbelievable.

The Chief of the Revenge Lineage?

That’s impossible. If he really were the Chief, he should be in the Heavenly Domain by now, not here.

Zhao Yuanxi said faintly, "Since you are unwilling to say more, there’s nothing left for us to discuss."

Ye Xuan unhurriedly replied, "Aren’t you heading to the Empty Ancient City?"

Zhao Yuanxi squinted his eyes, "Who told you we were going to the Empty Ancient City?"

Ye Xuan grinned, "Naturally, it was your master Zhang Qingfeng."

Boom!

In an instant, a terrifying aura surged from the four elders, unfathomable and overwhelming!

Their Dharma Forms, visible to the naked eye, emerged behind them.

In that moment, the four appeared as peerless princes ruling over the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, commanding the world!

At this moment, Ye Xuan seemed like a small boat amid a raging storm, always on the verge of being overturned.

But Ye Xuan remained seated, unmoving as a mountain.

"What do you know about what happened back then?" Zhao Yuanxi’s tone turned solemn, his gaze intense and oppressive.

"What do you want to know?" Ye Xuan countered.

"Of course, whether Master entering the Dao Chu Ancient Land was the Revenge Lineage’s will or the Double Emperors’ will!" The hunchbacked elder Zuo Yuanshan, known as the senior brother of the four Heavenly Masters, exuded a forceful aura.

All three elders, Zhao Yuanxi, Liu Yuanhai, and Feng Yuande, fixed their gaze on Ye Xuan, as if they were ready to kill should he answer incorrectly.

Ye Xuan stroked his chin, considering, "Judging by your master’s character, entering the Dao Chu Ancient Land was likely his own decision."

Zhao Yuanxi frowned, displeased, "What do you mean? You don’t know in the end either?"

Ye Xuan smiled and said, "I came here to tell you that the ones you should guard against are not me, but the Spider Emperor’s people."

"The Spider Emperor..." Zhao Yuanxi and others had a slight change in expression.

This person was an Emperor General left in the Xuanhuang Great World by Empress Changxi. Although relatively weaker among Empress Changxi’s subordinates, an Emperor General is still an Emperor General, and with ninety percent of the powerful beings across All Heavens moving to the Heavenly Domain, this level is practically invincible.

"What exactly do you mean?" Zhao Yuanxi’s face was somewhat unsightly.

"It’s simple; you’ve been targeted by the Spider Emperor’s people again. This time, with the four Heavenly Masters heading out to the Dao Chu Ancient Land, they are well aware of your intentions. Do you believe that when you come out of the Dao Chu Ancient Land, Dragon Tiger Mountain will be full of the Spider Emperor’s people?" Ye Xuan said calmly.

"Why are you so sure?" Zuo Yuanshan stared at Ye Xuan.

"Because they know better than you... Zhang Qingfeng isn’t dead," Ye Xuan said with calm eyes.

"What!?"

At this statement, the four elders were all shocked.

The Master isn’t dead?!

For a moment, the four elders were somewhat at a loss.

Ye Xuan looked at the only one still able to maintain a trace of composure, Zhao Yuanxi, and said softly, "Take my advice, just go back."
