Chapter 954: Chapter 951: The Old Heavenly Master

"City Soldier, I didn’t make a move; it was this old man Gu Shang who tried to overturn my stall. You must do me justice."

The ten-zhang tall black giant was the legendary Empty Ancient City Soldier!

Gu Shang, who was originally furious, suddenly froze in place.

Before Gu Shang could defend himself, the Empty Ancient City Soldier’s massive hand descended, directly grasping Gu Shang and coldly said: "Violating the laws of the Empty Ancient City, confined to prison for three days of reflection."

After speaking, the Empty Ancient City Soldier casually tossed Gu Shang away.

"You bastard butcher, I swear I’ll be at odds with you forever!"

Gu Shang’s voice filled with grief and anger lingered in the air.

However, he had already disappeared, presumably locked away in the prison.

The Empty Ancient City Soldier came and went like the wind; after dealing with Gu Shang, he vanished too.

"Hey, hey, hey, so satisfying." The Butcher stretched lazily and laughed gleefully, glancing sideways at the Xuantian Saint Heir and Nine Heavens True Person, whose faces had turned ashen, and said, "Don’t just stand there, keep selling."

The Xuantian Saint Heir and Nine Heavens True Person were not about to listen to the Butcher. They threw down the pork in their hands and left angrily.

"Come again next time." The Butcher shouted loudly, smiling.

The Xuantian Saint Heir and Nine Heavens True Person were indeed utterly distraught.

A group of Black Armor Army soldiers also exchanged glances, completely unprepared for this scene.

In the end, they could only leave along with them.

After they departed, the Butcher grumbled, "If you guys hadn’t plotted against me back then, would the one who became Emperor be your Xuantian Ancient Emperor? After becoming Emperor, you even chased me to this ghost place. Now it’s karma."

After muttering, the Butcher began selling again: "Selling pork, selling pork!"

On the other side, the Xuantian Saint Heir and Nine Heavens True Person, who had already left, looked extremely displeased.

"Saint Heir, where are you going?" Seeing that the Xuantian Saint Heir had no intention of stopping, Nine Heavens True Person couldn’t help but ask.

The Xuantian Saint Heir gritted his teeth and said, "I’m going to settle the score with that shopkeeper at the tailor shop!"

He had sold all of the Black Armor Army’s black armor for ten Golden Essence Copper Coins and then spent nine of them at that place to buy information.

And that information turned out to be false, leading them to be mocked and the real elders captured and imprisoned!

This vendetta must be avenged!

Nine Heavens True Person grabbed the Xuantian Saint Heir and solemnly said, "You also heard just now, that Butcher was the Mysterious Battle Saber Emperor, who fought against our ancestors back then. Moreover, the first Emperor General of our Xuantian Ancient Country, Gu Shang, is here too, which shows this city’s complexity. If we stir up more trouble, it’ll be unfavorable for us!"

The Xuantian Saint Heir retorted with a grim face, "So we just let it go like this?"

Nine Heavens True Person shook his head, "Naturally, we can’t just let it go, but our immediate priority is to figure out a way to rescue Gu Shang Elder. Only then can we gain the upper hand in this Empty Ancient City."

"From my observation, everything in this Empty Ancient City revolves around Golden Essence Copper Coins, so we have to find a way to earn more of these coins to handle matters more effectively."

"Hmm." The Xuantian Saint Heir calmed down, realizing that Nine Heavens True Person’s words made sense.

"Saint Heir."

At this moment, a Black Armor Army leader called out in a low voice, reminding the Xuantian Saint Heir.

The Xuantian Saint Heir looked up and found that not far away were Ye Xuan and his group.

"It’s them?" The Xuantian Saint Heir’s expression darkened slightly.

Nine Heavens True Person seemed to shrink like a mouse seeing a cat when he caught sight of the East Desolate Wolf, becoming instantly timid.

"Huh, how do these guys have so many Golden Essence Copper Coins?" The Xuantian Saint Heir suddenly noticed Ye Xuan and his group were stopping and starting, holding Golden Essence Copper Coins while buying various things.

This made his eyes a bit jealous.

He had used over a thousand sets of premium black armor to exchange for ten Golden Essence Copper Coins, and now he had only one left, yet these guys were casually shopping on the streets!?

An inexplicable feeling of jealousy surged in his heart.

"Saint Heir, don’t act impulsively..." Nine Heavens True Person quietly reminded.

The Xuantian Saint Heir squinted his eyes and said slowly, "I know, but just in time for us to ask how these people obtained their Golden Essence Copper Coins."

With that, the Xuantian Saint Heir started walking towards Ye Xuan and his group.

"This..." Nine Heavens True Person’s face turned pale, but he had no choice but to grit his teeth and follow.

At this moment.

"It’s those guys from the Xuantian Ancient Country."

Yao Yueqing also noticed the Xuantian Saint Heir and others, and whispered to Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan, of course, also saw the Xuantian Saint Heir and the others, but he didn’t care.

"Oh, what a coincidence everyone, didn’t expect us to meet again." The Xuantian Saint Heir called out as he waved from afar.

Unfortunately, everyone was busy choosing goods and ignored him.

The Xuantian Saint Heir’s lips twitched slightly, and he could only awkwardly put his hand down and approach with forced aplomb, cupping his hands to Ye Xuan, "Brother Ye."

Ye Xuan glanced at the Xuantian Saint Heir and said indifferently, "What’s the matter?"

The people seemed to have just noticed the Xuantian Saint Heir and each nodded, as a form of greeting.

The Xuantian Saint Heir smiled and said, "It’s nothing, just a bit curious about where these golden essence copper coins came from?"

"Given by a butcher." Qiankun Ancestor said with a smile.

"What?!" The Xuantian Saint Heir’s face immediately fell.

He instantly thought of the Mysterious Battle Saber Emperor!

"What’s wrong?" Qiankun Ancestor looked at the Xuantian Saint Heir with a half-smile.

The Xuantian Saint Heir coldly glared at Ye Xuan, snorted, and turned to leave.

"Goodbye." The Nine Heavens True Person also had an unpleasant expression, leaving with just a word.

"What’s with these guys?" Luo Jingcheng looked bewildered.

"Just being played for fools." Ye Xuan smiled indifferently.

Just now, when the Empty Ancient City soldier appeared, he naturally noticed and, using the Emperor Soul, observed and discovered the Xuantian Saint Heir and others being fooled.

Qiankun Ancestor’s words just now made the Xuantian Saint Heir and others think of the recent events, and it seems they felt conned along with the butcher, hence they left angrily.

This misunderstanding, it seems, cannot be untangled.

Of course, Ye Xuan didn’t mind.

"Are you all set?" Ye Xuan asked.

"All set." Everyone replied.

Ye Xuan nodded slightly and headed toward a corner of the city.

There, a standalone courtyard awaited.

At this moment, the gate of the courtyard was already open.

Behind the gate stood an old Taoist, waiting silently.

When Ye Xuan and his group appeared in the old Taoist’s sight, he suddenly froze.

"Grandpa!" Zhang Jingtong saw the old Taoist and immediately recognized him, running toward the elder.

"Little Jingtong?"

The old Taoist was utterly astonished.

"Master Ancestor!" The Four Little Heavenly Masters also recognized the old Taoist, and with joyful surprise, they rushed over.

"It’s really him..." The East Desolate Wolf following behind Ye Xuan felt a wave of shock seeing the old Taoist.

Who is this old Taoist?

Dragon Tiger Mountain’s Old Heavenly Master Zhang Qingfeng!

Before the Double Emperors became emperors, the fame of this Heavenly Master had already shaken the Xuanhuang Great World!

Even he, the East Desolate Wolf, would have to prostrate before him.

"Junior Ao Rulong, greets Old Heavenly Master Zhang." Fist Venerate Ao Rulong said respectfully.

"Junior Xu Zhengtao, greets Old Heavenly Master Zhang." Xu Zhengtao also said solemnly.

The East Desolate Wolf also cupped his hands in salute.

"Old Heavenly Master Zhang?!" Yao Yueqing lightly covered her red lips, her beautiful eyes full of astonishment, hurriedly and respectfully greeted, "Junior Yao Yueqing of Shaking Light Ancient Sect, greets Old Heavenly Master Zhang!"

In that era, the first person that came to mind when mentioning the Old Heavenly Master was Elder Zhang Qingfeng!

Therefore, there was only one Old Heavenly Master Zhang, and that was Zhang Qingfeng.

A presence that had disappeared for ninety thousand years!

Unexpectedly, he was truly here in Empty Ancient City.

Among them, only Ye Xuan and Qiankun Ancestor remained calm, showing no intention of saluting.

Zhang Qingfeng looked at Ye Xuan and knew this wasn’t the place to talk, so he said to everyone, "Come on in."

Everyone entered Zhang Qingfeng’s courtyard.

The Four Little Heavenly Masters and Zhang Jingtong were all teary-eyed with excitement.

Ao Rulong and others were also deeply moved.

After everyone finished their reunions, Ye Xuan said to Zhang Qingfeng, "Let’s talk inside."

"Alright!" Zhang Qingfeng readily agreed, then said to Zhang Jingtong, "Little Jingtong, take care of everyone, grandpa is going to have a chat with Young Master Ye."

"Okay, grandpa." Zhang Jingtong replied obediently.

The two of them entered the inner room together.

Yao Yueqing watched that scene with a strange look in her eyes.

Ye Xuan, just who is he really...
