Ling'er did not answer Chu Tian's words, her surprised gaze fixed on him, a look of incomprehension in her eyes.
"You... are you from my sect?"
Chu Tian rolled his eyes.
"If I say no, will you believe me? Why do you say I'm from the Soul Spirit Sect?"
Chu Tian felt very distressed.
He really wanted to ask, "What did I do wrong? Tell me and I'll change."
"Mmm... I believe you!" Ling'er nodded very solemnly.
Seeing that she believed him, Chu Tian was about to say something when he heard Ling'er continue.
"Who is your master? I didn't expect... there to be other branches, wandering in this Western Wasteland... It must have been hard for you all these years, right? Don't worry, after this is over, I'll tell my master to bring you back to the Central Continent!"
"What the hell?" Chu Tian was stunned for a moment.
Then, he understood what the girl was saying.
After waiting for so long, what he had said was all in vain.
She meant that Chu Tian's sect had not announced to its disciples that they were a branch of the Soul Spirit Sect!
That was why Chu Tian had denied it.
"Your Soul Spirit Sect really knows how to put on airs. Is it that impressive?"
Chu Tian was completely speechless.
Ling'er heard this and rolled her eyes.
However, she waved her hand, indicating she didn't care.
"Let's solve the current problem first. That fellow is indeed an elder of my Soul Spirit Sect, but he was stripped of his elder status and kicked out 800 years ago..."
"Hmph, it was I who didn't want to stay in such a pathetic sect anymore, so I left myself!"
As Ling'er was speaking, a scrawny old man.
Soared out of the imperial palace.
This fellow had no Yin spirits trailing behind him.
He walked through the air step by step as if tele-porting.
Yet his body moved as if teleporting.
In five steps, he arrived not far in front of Chu Tian and Ling'er. The last sentence was naturally spoken by him.
"Don't think I don't know, you are Ao Longtian. Eight hundred years ago, you practiced forbidden arts and attacked people of our sect, absorbing their physical bodies and souls to increase your cultivation. After being discovered, you betrayed us and fled. I never expected that after eight hundred years, you would be hiding in the Western Wasteland.
Now you're blockading Bian City, intending to perform forbidden arts and refine the blood and souls of these people, right?
I'm telling you, I've already notified the sect elders. They are on their way now, and this time you will surely be apprehended and killed."
Ling'er, the little girl, raised an eyebrow.
Her words also made Chu Tian understand that this old man, who looked like skin stretched over bones, was the "adult" those people were talking about.
Didn't you see the four guys who ran away earlier, now happily trotting back?
They had found their backbone, but as Chu Tian looked at them, they still avoided his gaze.
Clearly, Chu Tian had scared them, and they didn't even have the courage to meet his eyes.
"So you guys are having a family dispute. Nothing for me to do here, I'm leaving!"
Chu Tian looked around and realized that this old fellow was not to be trifled with.
Although he was as thin as skin and bones, the power of his blood and qi was something Chu Tian had never seen before.
"Want to leave? Leave your life behind."
The old man looked at Chu Tian, his aura surging, and the greed in his eyes was almost bursting out.
Chu Tian looked at the old man and couldn't help but chuckle.
"I say, Old Lantern, don't you have some peculiar habit? I'm a decent person, only liking women. Don't stare at me with those lecherous eyes, believe it or not, I'll throw you into a latrine for three days and three nights, then take you out and deep-fry you, making the legendary stinky tofu!"
The old man was stunned at first, then his body trembled, clearly angered by Chu Tian's words.
"Hehehe..." Ling'er, not at all opportune, giggled beside him.
The four guys opposite them turned purple. Although they didn't know what Chu Tian's stinky tofu was, it was definitely not a good thing.
He dared to speak to the adult like this, truly unaware of the immensity of heaven and earth. However, their purple faces were not from fear.
It was because their bodies were trembling uncontrollably, their faces constantly changing, as if they were suppressing some laughter.
Looking at the old man, Ao Longtian...
His face was grim, his body trembling.
This sentence had actually angered the once peerless prodigy who had dominated an era to such an extent.
Chu Tian admired his own ability.
It seemed that in the past, he wasn't very good at verbal sparring.
It seemed he was truly influenced by his surroundings; it was all Zhao Lei and Xiao Hei's fault for corrupting him.
Zhao Lei, far away in another world, sneezed inexplicably. Looking at the blazing sun, he felt a chill.
"Is this corpse still not used to the sun? Why is this sunlight so cold?"
Zhao Lei muttered to himself.
"Lei Zi, do you think this outfit looks good?"
Just as Zhao Lei was wondering, Ye Ling's voice came from afar.
He quickly and eagerly agreed and ran over.
...
In the Yin-Yang Realm, after Chu Tian's retort to the old fellow, he also chuckled heartily.
"You... you dare to laugh? I'll tear you into eight pieces! No... I will devour your flesh and blood and make you a part of my body!"
Ao Longtian let out an angry roar, his hair standing on end, and killing intent as sharp as a sword filled his turbid eyes. At this moment, Ao Longtian's hatred reached its peak; he wished he could devour Chu Tian alive.
*Hum...*
The old man's body trembled as if all his muscles were vibrating.
This made his entire body shake, reaching a certain frequency. This vibration, like a layer of protection, seemed to expel the air around him in an instant.
*Boom...*
With an explosion, the old man unleashed a punch towards Chu Tian. A massive fist silhouette shot directly at Chu Tian.
Endless dust and sand swirled into the air, and Chu Tian's figure actually disappeared, along with Ling'er and the phantom of the purple little fox.
"Killed in an instant?"
The four people behind Ao Longtian were greatly surprised.
Ao Longtian's punch was too fast, with no charge-up at all, directly launching a lightning-fast strike. This was the terrifying power of the adult.
Excitement appeared on the faces of the four people. Following such a powerful adult, they would surely become famous throughout the world in the future.
The adult had also promised to help them improve their physical strength, allowing them to withstand stronger Yin souls and spirits.
*Chik chik chik...*
However, their thoughts did not last long before they saw the adult's body move.
It was shooting towards the ground.
Following the direction of the adult's movement, they then discovered.
There...
That so-called fellow was not dead.
Chu Tian had just dodged Ao Longtian's attack with Ling'er, and upon landing, he told Ling'er and the others to get away.
As for himself, he slightly bent his legs.
*Boom...*
The ground rumbled, and his body shot out like a cannonball towards the descending old man.
"Go down!"
The old man saw Chu Tian ascend and, placing his hands together, pressed down on Chu Tian with a palm strike.
A giant palm appeared, like the Divine Palm of the Tathagata, and was already above Chu Tian's head.
"Be careful!"
Ling'er saw all this, extremely worried, and shouted.
"Don't worry about me, get away!" Chu Tian didn't have a good impression of the woman. He had been put in a passive position just now to save her.
Now that she was foolishly staying below and not leaving, she was just causing trouble for him.
