Chapter 720: Old Man Gu Yue Throws a Tantrum!
"City Master Ouyang, your grandeur as the City Master of Central Region is truly remarkable. You unreasonably revoked the qualification of my disciples from Yutian Palace to participate in the Saint Martial Assembly and took away our people. If you don't give Yutian Palace an explanation today, others might think that we are easily bullied!"
Guan Lan, the Deputy Palace Master, voiced his words while standing beside Palace Master Gu Yue, his gaze fixed directly on Ouyang Yuanfeng.
"Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan couldn't believe what he was hearing. There must be a misunderstanding!"
With things having come to this point, Ouyang Yuanfeng had little to say. All he could do was force a laughter, hoping to downplay the situation and resolve it easily.
"Misunderstanding, it is said lightly. In front of everyone's eyes, it is clear that I am a disciple of Yutian Palace. Yet, you don't regard Yutian Palace highly. I wonder if this is your intention, City Master Ouyang, or the intention of the Sacred Mountain?"
Deputy Palace Master Yan Lu also descended to the ground. The faint red glow in his eyes resembled fireworks, emanating an invisible wave of intense heat. It directly countered the icy aura that Elder Bing Fu had spread around, causing a white mist to fill the air instantly, creating a mysterious and enigmatic atmosphere.
"This..."
Ouyang Yuanfeng was at a loss for words. As the esteemed ruler of Central Region City, he could see clearly that the people before him were a group of extremely formidable opponents.
Never mind a few Deputy Palace Masters, they were all formidable opponents. Little did they know that even the rarely-seen Palace Master Gu Yue had personally arrived.
This matter now involves the Sacred Mountain. If I say the wrong thing, there might be some trouble for the Sacred Mountain.
"Yutian Palace should not bully others too much. That boy Yi Su seriously injured my child. He was so cruel and ruthless. He hindered the guards of Central Region and didn't take our city seriously. But don't forget, this is still Central Region!"
Kuang Guilan gritted her teeth, her eyes holding a touch of coldness. After all, this was still the city of Central Region, and the Sacred Mountain was the true ruler.
"As far as I know, it was clearly the son of the City Master of Central Region who acted arrogantly and rudely. He deserved to be taught a lesson. How audacious for him to treat Yutian Palace with such disrespect! Well, Yutian Palace will not tolerate any more mistreatment today. They think they can bully Yutian Palace as they please!"
Old Man Gu Yue fixed his gaze on Kuang Guilan. Despite his kind and gentle demeanor, his face suddenly turned pale. A faint icy coldness emanated from him, filling the air with an invisible presence that made Kuang Guilan inexplicably anxious.
"Listen well, disciples of Yutian Palace, raze the residence of this City Master to the ground!"
A voice, aged yet filled with fierceness, resounded through the night sky of Central Region city.
"Boom!"
"Roarrrr!"
In an instant, above the void, powerful auras of Yutian Palace surged, filled with energy that swept through, radiating brilliant lights. The night sky transformed with vibrant hues.
One by one, fierce demon beast mounts roared, exuding an overwhelming demonic aura, causing the City Master's residence to shake and tremble.
"Boom!"
Outside the City Master's residence, Elder Qi and others turned pale with fear.
Many powerful individuals from the City Master's residence had already gathered outside. Upon witnessing the situation, they could only prepare to take action. Among them, several mighty experts from the Yuan Emperor Realm soared into the sky, fully vigilant and on high alert!
"Hmph!"
Guan Lan, Yun Ding, and Yan Lu, the three Deputy Palace Masters, let out a cold snort. Their hand seals solidified as three powerful auras soared into the sky, terrifyingly intense!
"Scared of you, are we not?"
The Green Emperor could no longer contain his anger. His sparkling green eyes took on a chilling crimson hue, as if two blood moons were hidden within them. His body swelled with brilliant green light, and with a daunting "woo-woo" sound, he suddenly rose up, transforming into a massive hissing snake that coiled outside the City Master's residence, stretching for dozens of yards.
The Crying Snake looked menacing, with its entire body covered in green scales. Its four wings fluttered like ringing bells, exuding a sharp aura. Its blood-red eyes were intimidating, and its overwhelming presence sent shivers down one's spine, causing an eerie feeling!
"Crying Snake!" exclaimed the snake.
As the Crying Snake appeared in the sky, Elder Bing Fu, Ouyang Yuanfeng, and Elder Qi were all astonished.
All the strong individuals could see that the Crying Snake was no ordinary creature. The Crying Snake clan was well-known among the entire monster race, and they held a prestigious reputation.
"Whoosh..."
With such astonishing commotion, in certain secluded corners around the Central Region city, figures suddenly emerged in the low sky.
A veil of elusive essence instantly filled the air, pairs of eyes gleaming brightly in the night sky.
Many young people leaped to higher ground, their gazes directed towards the direction of the City Master's residence, each possessing remarkable charisma.
If Su Yi were here, he would surely recognize many figures, among them Gong Qianxing from Tianxuan Sect, Liu Xiaohu, and Li Qingwei from Qingyun Sect.
In a certain part of the sky, a short figure stood alone. Their face had a slightly aged appearance, with faint wrinkles that seemed to be traces left by time. However, their facial features were well-defined, indicating that they must have been a handsome man in their youth. The figure, though, was as thin and petite as a child of eight or nine years old, only reaching about half the height of an average person. They were dressed in a fitted robe.
This short figure stood in the low sky, gazing towards the direction of the City Master's residence. Their eyes held a hint of confusion as they mumbled, "Why did that old geezer Gu Yue have a conflict with the Sacred Mountain?"
Inside and outside the residence of the City Master, the winds roared and clouds surged, filling the air with an awe-inspiring atmosphere.
Kuang Guilan's face changed dramatically. How could she have thought that a single sentence would ignite the rage of Palace Master Gu Yue and lead to an imminent clash?
"Misunderstanding, it's all just a big misunderstanding!"
Elder Bing Fu could no longer bear it. If Central Region and Yutian Palace were to go to war today, it would involve the entire Sacred Mountain and the headquarters of Yutian Palace. The people from Yutian Palace are certainly not easy to provoke.
Gazing at Old Man Gu Yue, Elder Bing Fu forced a smile to his face. He clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "Palace Master Gu Yue, surely there must be a misunderstanding. Once this matter is thoroughly investigated, Yutian Palace will definitely be held accountable."
"Bing Fu, I am giving you face. Bring the person back to Yutian Palace for me. If even a single hair is missing, don't blame me for being impolite. The consequences, I'm afraid, are more than what ten Bing Fus can bear!"
Old Man Gu Yue looked calmly at Bing Fu and said, "As for disrespecting the disciples of Yutian Palace, we will remember this grudge. If there is a need for someone to seek justice from the Sacred Mountain, Yutian Palace will naturally send someone!"
"Someone, quickly bring the person out for me!"
Bing Fu's face turned pale and red, and he shouted loudly. Old Man Gu Yue's words filled him with fear and unease.
Elder Bing Fu still remembered what happened with the Gemini Sect in the past. The Gemini Sect had suffered a great loss in front of Yutian Palace. If this matter truly alarmed the headquarters of Yutian Palace, he wouldn't be able to take responsibility for it.
"Elder Bing Fu, the Yutian Palace has been too cruel to us. Please stand up for my child!"
Upon hearing these words, Kuang Guilan's face turned pale. Elder Bing Fu had just mentioned standing up for her son, but if he handed someone over now, she feared there would be no chance for revenge in the future.
"Shush, it's not your turn to speak here. You lack proper education. I will report this to the mountain gate."
Elder Bing Fu stared at Kuang Guilan scolding her, his brows furrowed. This woman still couldn't understand the situation even now.
Old Man Gu Yue, Cloud Cauldron, Yan Lu, and Guan Lan, the four Palace Masters of Yutian Palace, all appeared together. This lineup was enough to prove that the young man was extraordinary in the eyes of Yutian Palace. Rumor had it that the assessment was likely true, and he might possess a true Heavenly Grade soul that surpassed the level of a Half-Step Heavenly Grade soul. That's why Yutian Palace valued him so much.
Such a young boy, today, not only would he not dare to move, but even in Sacred Mountain, he would probably not dare to move.
Stirring up the people of Yutian Palace, the entire Sacred Mountain had to consider whether it could withstand such consequences.
"Be quiet."
Ouyang Yuanfeng instantly scolded Kuang Guilan. It was all because of this woman's excessive indulgence since childhood that led to her incapable son causing such trouble.
The situation today could not be more evident. Ouyang Yuanfeng, the City Master of Central Region, could not afford to provoke Yutian Palace.
"Elder Qi, quickly go and bring the person out, quickly!"
Ouyang Yuanfeng spoke and could only release the person at this point.
"Yes!"
Elder Qi immediately nodded and hurriedly walked into the City Master's residence.
"Palace Master Gu Yue, it's all a misunderstanding. How about going inside for a cup of tea?"
Elder Bing Fu forced a smile on his face, but deep inside, he felt quite frustrated.
He, the dignified Elder of the Sacred Mountain, was the leader this time at the Saint Martial Assembly. Although the Sacred Mountain sent more than just him as elders to the assembly, he held the foremost position.
Outside, Elder Bing Fu was always respected and treated with utmost courtesy. But today, his demeanor had reached a new low, as he had never before lowered himself in such a manner.
"Forget about drinking tea."
Old Man Gu Yue said softly, and then he didn't even bother to look around. His eyes, surprisingly, were slightly closed.
Elder Bing Fu's expression turned sour, but he managed to hide it. Old Man Gu Yue, on the other hand, simply ignored him as if he was of no concern at all.
"What is that fearsome creature?"
"Crying Snake, that is a powerful member of the Crying Snake clan, a strong member of the Demonic Emperor Realm's Crying Snake clan!"
Outside the City Master's mansion, in the bustling streets and alleys, a crowd of people gathered. Shadows moved around, and countless eyes looked up, gazing at the magnificent serpent hovering in the sky.
The overwhelming green light and fearsome demonic aura painted the sky, filling it with awe and terror.
"Wow, there are so many powerful individuals!"
"That's the Yutian Palace's powerful individuals, who are usually impossible to come across!"
"Why are so many powerful people from Yutian Palace surrounding the City Master's residence?"
"Didn't you hear? It was for that disciple of the Overlord Sect, Yi Su. They say Yi Su had previously severely injured the second young master of the City Master's residence, Ouyang Mingjie, and was taken away by the City Master's residence. That's why Yutian Palace came to surround the City Master's residence!"
"So that's it! Yi Su from the Overlord Sect, is actually that black horse! It is said that he is a Soul Tamer, and when he examines souls, it causes extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth!"
"The City Master's residence really hit a roadblock this time, thinking that Su Yi from the Overlord Sect was an unknown nobody!"
"..."
All around, there were countless conversations and loud noises, as countless gazes were fixed on the residence of the City Master.
These discussions didn't escape the notice of Elder Bing Fu, Ouyang Yuanfeng, and other powerful individuals. One by one, they had somewhat displeased expressions on their faces.
Not long after, from the residence of the City Master, several figures emerged.
"Whoosh..."
One by one, the gazes swiftly shifted away in an instant.
The closed eyes of Elder Bing Fu, as well as Old Man Gu Yue, Wang Quande, Ouyang Yuanfeng, and others, all fixed their gaze upon the figure that had stepped out.
