Hai Weier couldn't help but giggle when the young Taoist Zhen Xing spoke, as the other party had clearly misunderstood. She flew to his side, determined to tease this little brother for calling her "Sister."
"No, as the strongest of the younger generation in the Taoist sect, how can you, a young monk, have such thoughts? What if your future enemies are all women? What if a female demon appears and wreaks havoc, and only by killing her can the slaughter be stopped? What will you do then?"
Hai Weier looked at Zhen Xing playfully, her eyes filled with amusement.
Zhen Xing's face turned red from her words, but he didn't panic. Instead, he took a few steps back, creating some distance between himself and Hai Weier.
"Sister is mistaken. I am not the strongest of the younger generation in the Taoist sect; my senior brother is. I was sent out by my master to gain some experience. And what you mentioned, those situations won't happen so absolutely. Besides, even if I encounter them, there will be other ways to deal with them."
"You young Taoist can certainly talk. Hmm? Your senior brother? Is your senior brother even more formidable than you? Why isn't he here tonight?"
Hai Weier's eyes flickered as she looked at him in disbelief. Two young emperors in the Taoist sect? And this young Taoist just said it so openly, without any attempt to conceal it?
"Senior brother is very powerful, but he is an ancient being. He was sealed for a long time until now. He went to Wan Shou Mountain to hunt demons, so he didn't come here."
The young Taoist Zhen Xing said, his eyes shining brightly when he spoke of his senior brother, clearly indicating his high regard for him.
Very powerful? An ancient being? Went to Wan Shou Mountain to hunt demons?
Hai Weier was surprised. Although the young Taoist Zhen Xing was only at the mid-stage of the Emperor realm, he gave off an unfathomable aura. Moreover, the Taoist sect had always been mysterious, and among those of similar cultivation levels, as long as the difference wasn't too great, one should not underestimate them.
But who would have thought there was a senior brother even more powerful than this young Taoist, an ancient being no less, who went into Wan Shou Mountain alone?
One must know that Wan Shou Mountain was the territory of the demon race. Without absolute self-preservation capabilities, going to Wan Shou Mountain was tantamount to suicide. Furthermore, with the demon race fully invading the human domain, if any humans were discovered in their territory, they would likely be besieged immediately, and even attract top-tier experts to hunt them down.
Who could it be? Hai Weier mused. She and her brother had been in slumber for longer than Heaven and Earth, and the major powers had also fallen into slumber much earlier. The ancient era had not shown itself much in the outside world, so she didn't know much about it.
However, one thing she was quite certain of was that the Daozi of the Taoist sect in every generation of the ancient era were the cream of the crop of their time, possessing terrifying strength and undoubtedly ranking among the top ten in combat power for the younger generation!
The Taoist sect has truly surprised us this time, everyone present murmured to themselves after hearing the young Taoist's words.
The fact that this young Taoist was sent out by the Taoist sect to travel clearly indicated that the sect's strong figures placed great importance on him, and he was bound to be a prominent figure among the younger generation in the future.
Coupled with his mysterious senior brother, wouldn't that mean that the Taoist sect would have two top-ten powerhouses among the younger generation in not too long?
"Rumble!!!" Just as Hai Weier was about to try and extract more information from the young Taoist Zhen Xing, a deafening roar echoed from afar, followed by an enraged shout.
"Leng Feng!!! Are you mad?? You're trying to kill me?"
From a distance, Lie Yangtian roared, his body covered in blood as he fled rapidly. Meanwhile, Leng Feng's face was stern, filled with killing intent, as he relentlessly pursued him.
Everyone present was startled. Lie Yangtian had been defeated? And the struggle among the younger generation had only just begun, yet someone was already about to die?
It was known that although there were casualties in the battles among the young powerhouses of each ancient era, they never went for the kill. After all, their battles were meant to strengthen themselves for the war against the demon race.
And now, at the very beginning, Leng Feng was intent on killing Lie Yangtian. They had only met today, with no prior grievances, yet Leng Feng dared to resort to such viciousness?
In the distance, Leng Feng was getting closer and closer to Lie Yangtian. The phantom behind him had become incredibly real, exuding a terrifying aura. Lie Yangtian seemed to have nowhere left to escape.
"Bold of you, junior, to act so ruthlessly?!!"
At this very moment, a booming roar suddenly came from afar, and a colossal hand traversed the sky, shielding Lie Yangtian.
A terrifying aura instantly filled the entire wilderness, changing the expressions of everyone present.
The power was comparable to that of a Overlord, and the newcomer was likely not far from the Overlord realm.
"How can a junior be so vicious? Is this how the Desolate Hall educates its disciples?"
From afar, the powerful expert, after examining Lie Yangtian's injuries, spoke with immense fury in his voice.
With a point of his finger, he aimed at Leng Feng.
Upon seeing this, Leng Feng's face changed drastically. He retreated rapidly, but his speed was far too slow compared to the colossal hand. After all, the opponent was a powerhouse comparable to an Overlord, and this attack was as powerful as an Overlord's. Leng Feng had no way to escape.
"Old man, are you shameless? You interfere in a dispute between juniors, and now you're pushing your luck?"
Leng Feng cursed in desperation, seeing that the opponent's finger was about to land on him.
"Presumptuous!!! To dare harm this seat's disciple, I shall kill you!"
At this very moment, a grand voice resounded through the heavens and earth. In the distant sky, a terrifying figure, as tall as the sky, appeared before everyone.
The owner of the colossal hand immediately stopped his finger and quickly vanished, taking Lie Yangtian with him.
"Lord of the Desolate, you are mistaken. Our sect's holy son was nearly killed, and my heart was anxious for his safety, causing me to act impulsively," the owner of the colossal hand responded.
Hearing this, everyone present was shocked. The Lord of the Desolate! The colossal figure in the sky was the Lord of the Desolate! He had personally intervened to save Leng Feng!
"Begone! If there is a next time, this seat will surely slay you!"
The Lord of the Desolate reprimanded, and then his figure instantly dissipated.
