At this moment, Mo Ye Han was under immense pressure, his blood boiling, eyes widening slightly, and his breathing becoming noticeably rapid, losing all traces of his former arrogance.
Facing a Great Ascension Venerable, a Void Refinement prodigy couldn't stir up any waves!
He remained silent, as the little girl and the red lion did not make a move.
If he were to reveal the truth now, they would surely be implicated, and Chen Xun, having no background, would have no one to protect him.
The real purpose of staying here was to deal with these people, and disrupting the scene was only one of the objectives.
He intended to delay as long as possible; as for other matters, he was truly powerless, as they were too entangled.
Buzz—
A loud noise echoed from the distant sky, and a woman in green, with long hair flowing, stepped through the air towards them.
Her gaze was like lightning, her demeanor fierce, exuding confidence and authority with every gesture.
"Old Flood Dragon, you dare to touch the Daoist of my Dongxuan Dao Academy?!" The woman's aura was fierce, her presence overwhelming, as if she had already received the news and had been rushing here.
"Master!"
"This is none of your concern, shut up."
The woman glanced at the agitated Mo Ye Han and directly scolded him, "You've lived all these years for nothing, being scolded by this old Flood Dragon."
Mo Ye Han lowered his head, losing all his demeanor, clearly having some childhood trauma related to this woman.
"Human, Yuxuan... when have I ever scolded him?!"
Flood Dragon Venerable's voice boomed like thunder, yet his momentum was somewhat suppressed by the woman, "After all these years, you're still so unreasonable. What is your purpose in returning to the Mengmu Sea Region?"
"If you, an old Flood Dragon, can return, why can't I?"
Yuxuan slightly raised her head, as if challenging him to a duel, "And what is your purpose in returning?"
In this world, it seemed only the two of them remained, and everyone else fell silent.
Especially Ji Guang, who stood there with his head lowered and hands clasped, cold sweat dripping down continuously, unable to evaporate.
The two weren't just speaking; it was a battle of auras, and they were the unfortunate bystanders caught in the crossfire.
Ji Guang felt bitter and speechless, having been dragged into this by Mo Ye Han, making everything go awry!
"My lineage works for the Xuanwei Celestial Palace, yet was slaughtered by villains, and only your disciple was present at the scene."
Flood Dragon Venerable's massive body floated in the air, his voice steady, "This isn't just a vendetta or dispute; it concerns the dignity of the Xuanwei Celestial Palace."
"Such righteousness, Mo Ye Han!"
"Disciple here."
"Was this your doing?!"
"Reporting to Master, it wasn't my doing, nor was I involved."
"Useless." Yuxuan frowned slightly, seemingly quite dissatisfied, "If it wasn't you, why did you call me here? And in such a hurry?!"
Mo Ye Han was dumbfounded, barely able to hold his ancient spear: "..."
Flood Dragon Venerable's expression was also quite displeased, not wanting to waste time here.
With Yuxuan present, it seemed nothing could be gleaned, so he decided to return and investigate himself, hoping they wouldn't be caught by the Celestial Palace first.
A dragon's roar echoed through the sky, and a group of Flood Dragons was about to leave, but a sword light blocked their path.
Yuxuan raised an eyebrow: "Old Flood Dragon, did I say you could leave?"
"What do you mean?" Flood Dragon Venerable wasn't angry, but the surrounding Flood Dragons looked furious.
The Flood Dragon clan of the Eight Veins was inherently fierce and greedy, as evidenced by the news from the Nine Heavens Immortal Sound Array Disk.
Wherever there was profit, the Eight Veins Flood Dragon clan would be there!
Especially when the Celestial Palace made a move, they would surely be at the forefront, upholding the Celestial Palace's dignity.
Even if the opponent was a Tribulation Crossing Venerable, there was no doubt they would roar at the strong with this mission.
Just as Yuxuan was about to speak, the surrounding energy surged, and a spatial passage suddenly opened, from which a golden ancient war chariot slowly emerged.
If you observed from afar, you couldn't see the chariot's form, but if you glanced at it, a faint character "Mo" would form in your mind!
It was as if what emerged from the spatial passage wasn't a chariot, but a character, an ancient family of cultivators.
An elder with white hair like silver sat on the chariot, his eyes bright and piercing, like an ancient mountain, unmoving yet containing vast mana, impossible to ignore.
"Greetings, Venerable Mo!"
"Greetings, Venerable Mo!"
...
Everyone from the Xuanfeng Celestial Palace bowed in another direction, their eyes filled with increasing astonishment, and their cold sweat growing denser. What... what was this?!
Ji Guang's mouth twitched, truly eye-opening, this was the real gap between ordinary cultivators and prodigies, with one background after another appearing.
Ordinary cultivators dreaming of becoming prodigies and making it onto the Chaos Immortal Spirit List was a pipe dream, at least in this grand world of cultivation.
Venerable Mo, Flood Dragon Venerable, Yuxuan, stood in the sky, their expressions more composed than the other, all suppressed by this elder, rumored to have reached the mid-Great Ascension stage!
The elder smiled slightly, looking at Flood Dragon Venerable: "Fellow Daoist, he indeed wasn't involved, and your clan's deaths have nothing to do with him. Why not let this matter rest for old I's sake?"
"Indeed, old Flood Dragon, this was ordered by the Xuanwei Celestial Palace. Do you intend to overstep? The Celestial Palace will provide an explanation!"
Yuxuan's gaze turned serious, her voice cold, "Let this matter end here, after all, the Eight Veins Flood Dragon clan's lair is still in the Mengmu Sea Region, let's not disrupt our relations."
Flood Dragon Venerable laughed, amused by Yuxuan's shamelessness, as their families had no relation, yet she was trying to tie them together.
He looked at the elder from the Mo family, nodding heavily: "This matter, I will wait for the Celestial Palace to give my clan an explanation, you need not pressure me, I see the situation clearly."
With those words, he led the Flood Dragons away towards the sky.
This time, no one stopped them, as communication between Great Ascension Venerables was simple, a word, a glance, and they understood each other.
They were all old monsters, no need to play tricks in front of each other.
It was merely to have his lineage withdraw from the siege, letting the Celestial Palace consider on its own, giving Mo Ye Han more chances to protect the person he wanted.
Mo Ye Han dared to stay here alone, his purpose was too simple.
Especially since these two understood and directly pressured him, but the real reason for letting go wasn't this.
It was that the Xuanwei Celestial Palace would surely give his lineage a satisfactory explanation, though he couldn't directly take revenge, as the warnings from these two were too heavy.
Ji Guang and his group were still somewhat confused, and the arrival of these Great Ascension Venerables had left their thoughts stagnant.
But this matter could only be reported truthfully, as they couldn't participate further.
Then the group from the Xuanfeng Celestial Palace also bowed to the two and left, not daring to stay a moment longer.
The two merely glanced at the departing figures, then focused their attention below, on Mo Ye Han!
Mo Ye Han trembled, cold sweat breaking out all over, unsure whether to feel relieved or terrified under the gaze of two Great Ascension Venerables.
"Mo Ye Han."
"Ancestor."
"Since you wish to protect this person, we won't interfere further, this is all we can do to help you."
The elder's expression was calm, seeing through Mo Ye Han's thoughts, "Do not involve yourself further, the Celestial Palace will decide everything, you are not yet qualified to speak."
Yuxuan nodded gently beside him: "Mo Daoist is right, let this matter end here."
Mo Ye Han solemnly clasped his hands: "Yes, thank you Ancestor, Master, for your aid."
The two exchanged a glance, nodded, and were unwilling to stay any longer.
Mo Ye Han followed them, leaving directly, with all traces here erased.
Yet Mo Ye Han frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "Brother Chen, this is as much as I can help you."
He slowly glanced in a certain direction, but after a brief pause, he continued to follow the two elders away.
