Shrouding the Heavens

Chapter 375 - 376 Chapter 381 Divine Order

376: Chapter 381 Divine Order 376: Chapter 381 Divine Order “Senior Li, your wisdom shines like a torch; these two clearly can’t afford to lose and are trying to renege.” “The Source Technique battle has already concluded.

If you’re men, don’t be so petty; hand over the Qilin Seed quickly.” The young members of the ancient Source Technique families wore smiles and spoke up enthusiastically.

Naturally, they were happy to see this situation, hoping more “old acquaintances” would step forward for them.

Li Heishui was seething with anger, wanting to stomp on these people’s faces.

He knew that they were mocking him and Ye Fan for lacking any background.

Slowly, he calmed himself and began to sneer.

“The rare treasure that Brother Gu Feng uncovered should be more valuable,” said Yaoyue Kong, the Young Master of the Heavenly Demon Palace, firmly standing on Ye Fan’s side at this crucial moment.

Prince Xia Yiming of Great Xia nodded and said, “A living member of an Ancient Royal Family is a priceless treasure; through it, we can truly comprehend the great secrets of the Ancient Times.” “That’s not correct.” Grand Elder Li Yishui from the Illusion Destruction Palace shook his head, his face bearing a sardonic smile.

He glanced at Ye Fan and said, “A member of an Ancient Royal Family cannot be tamed and is of no use.

On the contrary, that supreme evil weapon is of immeasurable value.

What can you offer in comparison?” “Grand Elder Li’s words are true; it’s just an ancient monkey and serves no real purpose,” Nangong Qi smiled and nodded.

Ye Fan calmly spoke, “Since you insist on saying that a living member of an Ancient Royal Family is inferior to a supreme evil weapon, I’ll give you a simple example.

Let me ask you: what about the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Technique of the Fighting Saint Ape clan?” The young members of the ancient Source Technique families were momentarily speechless.

When examined closely, this was an immortal inheritance, its value beyond estimation.

“Can it be compared to the ancient scriptures of the Sacred Lands?

Can it overshadow that supreme evil weapon?” Ye Fan continued to question, leaving the members of the ancient Source Technique families speechless, unable to counter.

“We were hesitant just now, but now it seems that the value of a living member of an Ancient Royal Family is enormous and indeed more precious!” “That’s right!

Even in the Ancient Times, there were only two or three Fighting Saint Apes, comparable to Great Emperors.

Their cultivation methods are naturally world-shocking ancient scriptures and priceless treasures!” Some of the older men present nodded in agreement, voicing their assent.

They were eager for the divine medicine but were not willing to blatantly distort the truth.

Grand Elder Li Yishui from the Illusion Destruction Palace shook his head and laughed, “You are all mistaken.

The human race may not be able to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Technique of the Fighting Saint Ape clan.

Thus, it cannot be considered precious.” Ye Fan sneered, “You speak nonsense.

The ultimate limits of cultivation are interconnected, and the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Technique is invaluable.

Besides, some ancient scriptures from the Sacred Lands of the human race are derived from inheritances from the Ancient Times.” “Why is it always you, this old coot?!” Li Heishui was genuinely fed up with him.

“Young man, watch your words, lest you invite disaster!” Grand Elder Li Yishui’s expression darkened.

“You think you’re worthy of my respect?” Li Heishui shook his head.

Immediately, Grand Elder Li Yishui’s murderous intent flared.

He said, “A junior who shows no respect for his elders!

Today, I will teach you some manners!” He was about to strike.

Although he was speaking to Li Heishui, it was apparent he intended to suppress Ye Fan as well.

“These two are too arrogant; they need to be taught a lesson.” “Insulting a senior is a grave crime; they should be suppressed for several years.” The young disciples from the ancient Source Technique families were eager to see someone take action, and they sneered, chiming in agreement.

Step by step, Grand Elder Li Yishui from the Illusion Destruction Palace approached.

Having found an excuse, he was about to act brazenly in public.

“Li Yishui, your mom is calling you home for dinner!” Suddenly, such a shout came from outside the crowd, loud and clear.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was petrified.

Ye Fan knew it had to be Pang Bo.

Such words were too unconventional in this world; only he would dare to shout them.

“Who is it?!

Who?!” Li Yishui was livid.

That someone dared to speak to him like this made him feel as if his pants were on fire.

Only then did the crowd burst into laughter.

Many of the older figures couldn’t hold back their smiles, and the young people laughed uproariously, swaying back and forth.

Ye Fan said playfully, “Old man, why don’t you go home for dinner first?

Your mom is looking for you.” “HAHA…” Everyone laughed heartily.

Even the members of the ancient Source Technique families had twitching mouths, straining not to show their amusement.

Li Yishui was the Grand Elder of the Illusion Destruction Palace.

At his age, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say he practically had one foot in the grave.

Yet, someone had trotted out his mother to call him home for dinner.

How could he possibly endure such a thing?

At this moment, he felt as if someone had stepped on his tail.

Enraged and humiliated, he faced Ye Fan and Li Heishui with boundless murderous intent, intent on killing them both to vent his anger.

“I’ll send you on your way!” “Old coot, don’t think of yourself as some Peacock King, suppressing whoever you please!” Li Heishui remained unflustered, throwing a Black Iron Order at the face of the Grand Elder from the Illusion Destruction Palace.

“A junior dares to be so disrespectful to me!

Even taking your lives would not be excessive!” Li Yishui said coldly, catching the Black Iron Order with a BANG, intending to crush it.

However, after trying several times, he couldn’t budge it and was greatly surprised.

“Old guy, take a good look at what that is!” Li Heishui sneered.

“The Undying’s Divine Order!” Many older figures nearby exclaimed in horror, their faces paling.

The iron order was as black as ink, lacking any luster.

It was merely palm-sized, with an indistinct mountain engraved on it, veiled in clouds and mist.

Grand Elder Li Yishui stared at the iron order in his hand, his eyes glazing over, his body trembling slightly.

“How…

how do you have this…?” “It’s truly…

the Undying’s Divine Order.” “Who are they?

Why do they possess such an item?” …

All the older figures were astonished, their expressions changing as if they had seen a viper or a scorpion.

The Undying—mysterious and terrifying—was the foremost bandit of the Northern Region.

His cultivation base was so profound that no one could fathom it.

A thousand years ago, he hunted down a Peacock King, nearly driving them into the Taichu Forbidden Area.

He even lay in wait outside a Sacred Land for years, and when an influential figure finally emerged, he took their head.

He represented mystery and dread.

To this day, no one has seen his true appearance; whether he is male or female remains unknown.

People only knew that he was exceedingly old and unimaginably powerful, but no one could say for how long he had truly lived.

In the Northern Region, his name was synonymous with terror.

Many said it was better to provoke a Peacock King than to make an enemy of him; otherwise, one might not even know how they died.

The Black Iron Order was his legacy.

Only two or three such tokens existed, and they were life-saving Divine Orders.

Even those from the Sacred Lands were extremely wary of it.

At this moment, An Miaoyi, Jin Chixiao, and all the Saint Heirs displayed peculiar expressions.

The gazes of the elder figures changed as they looked at Ye Fan and Li Heishui.

They knew that possessing the Undying’s Divine Order meant that very few people in the Northern Region would dare to act recklessly against them.

“Weren’t you planning to take our lives?

Come on, we’ll let you kill us,” Li Heishui said, taking two steps forward.

The Grand Elder from the Illusion Destruction Palace’s face turned crimson with extreme embarrassment.

He was caught in a dilemma.

Who would dare to kill affiliates of the Undying in public?

Even if Li Yishui had ten times the courage, he wouldn’t dare to act, unless he had a death wish.

CLANG!

Lost in thought, his hand trembled, and the Black Iron Order fell to the ground, emitting a crisp metallic sound.

“You dropped the Divine Order.

Are you planning to move against us?” “I didn’t drop it!” The Grand Elder from the Illusion Destruction Palace’s face changed dramatically.

He quickly picked up the Black Iron Order, fearing that some peerless demon might appear and obliterate him with a single finger.

“My two young friends, this old man has greatly offended you previously.

Please forgive me.

I was muddled; please don’t hold it against me,” Li Yishui’s face was flushed with shame.

As he spoke these words, he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

He returned the Divine Order with both hands, then turned and left.

He truly couldn’t bear to stay any longer, filled with a sense of defeat and humiliation.

“Time for dinner!” Pang Bo hollered again from the crowd.

“Who is that?

I admire you so much!” Li Heishui laughed loudly, looking around for the shouter.

The others couldn’t help but twitch their lips.

This was too vicious.

How could Li Yishui face anyone in the future?

“Seniors, you lost,” Ye Fan said, bringing up the result of the Source Technique duel again.

“Wrong, young friend.

You still have to hand over the Qilin Seed.” Nangong Qi shook his head.

The members of the ancient Source Technique families were adamant, claiming the supreme evil weapon was priceless and that they had won.

The four great ancient Source Technique families had deep roots in the Northern Region and held significant influence.

Many Great Sects sought their services, so naturally, some of their “old acquaintances” were present.

“Hand over the Qilin Seed!

You’ve already lost!” “The outcome is decided!

Quickly admit defeat to Grandmaster Nangong!” “How about we call it a draw?” …

The youths of the ancient Source Technique families and their “old acquaintances” spoke up one after another, applying pressure.

After all, the other side possessed the Divine Order; they wanted to take a step back and settle for a draw.

Naturally, some couldn’t stand by and watch, taking Ye Fan’s side and starting to argue on the spot, while many more remained indifferent, considering it none of their business.

“Ridiculous!” On the grounds, a figure appeared silently.

It was the Red Dragon Daoist, returned.

He seemed like a plague god, and the Stone Garden instantly fell silent.

“Do you even comprehend the value of the Ancient Royal Families?” He swept his gaze leisurely over the members of the ancient Source Technique families.

No aura fluctuation emanated from him, yet the pressure was suffocating.

Everyone was surprised.

What relationship did the Red Dragon Daoist have with Gu Feng?

It was obvious he intended to stand up for him.

“Clearly defeated, yet you still try to use your power to bully others?

Have you no shame?” The Red Dragon Daoist’s expression was cold.

He clasped his hands behind his back, looked at Nangong Qi, and said, “If we must settle things by power, then what if I use my power to obliterate you all?

Would you submit then?” Everyone was shocked.

The Red Dragon Daoist clearly had a significant relationship with Gu Feng and intended to intervene.

Many, including An Miaoyi, Yaoyue Kong, and the various Saint Heirs, showed expressions of intrigue.

The faces of Nangong Qi and the others turned deathly pale; all were utterly terrified.

How could they dare provoke this old Daoist, a man who had even hunted down a Peacock King?

“We admit defeat and accept our loss,” Nangong Qi said, lowering his head.

With the Red Dragon Daoist intervening, who would dare to object?

Never mind that justice was on Ye Fan’s side; even if it wasn’t, they would have had to submit.

“Thank you, Senior!” Ye Fan stepped forward and paid his respects.

The Red Dragon Daoist nodded and then scanned the crowd with incredibly sharp eyes, saying, “Anyone who dares to act against him will be showing disrespect to me, this old Daoist.” Upon these words, everyone sucked in a cold breath.

With this peerless demon offering such protection, who would dare to make a move on Gu Feng?

Moreover, Ye Fan’s Source Technique was astonishing.

Many Great Sects had long desired to recruit him, and now they certainly wouldn’t dare to be negligent.

“Little Brother Gu Feng, you’ve defeated a Source Technique Master, achieved fame in a single battle, and won millions of jin of Source.

You absolutely must treat us!” An Miaoyi secretly transmitted her voice, her eyes sparkling.

Even the proud and aloof Saint Heirs and Saint Ladies had their own considerations.

This young man might very well become a Heavenly Source Master in the future; they had to establish good relations with him.

TOLL…

Suddenly, the No Beginning Bell tolled again!

The divine city resonated, and everyone looked astonished.

They knew that the assault on the Purple Mountain had finally reached its conclusion.

ROAR…

Suddenly, terrifying roars echoed, accompanied by shrill screams.

“What happened?” Everyone’s expression changed.

ROAR…

The roars shook the heavens, as if countless unknown creatures had appeared in the divine city.

“The assault on the Purple Mountain has concluded, but these roars…” Many cultivators were uncertain and suspicious.

“Oh no!

Ancient beings have emerged!” Frightened cries came from afar.

“The Purple Mountain has been breached!

Many Ancient beings have come out and are chasing after us!” Warning cries tore through the sky.

The divine city was thrown into chaos.

Terrifying Ancient beings had emerged, crossing the void to enter the divine city.

This was horrifying news.
