I'll Send Out Our Fourth Elder First

Inside the reception hall at this time.

The Yama Holy Lord sat calmly in his seat.

Of the eight elders, seven have arrived today.

The Second Elder Meng Yuyi, was the only one absent.

However, the other elders are ranked one level lower.

Only Cang Yue's position is comparable to that of the Yama Holy Lord.

The personal presence of the leader of a super sect is enough to warrant serious attention.

Moreover, the relationship between the two factions is currently in a delicate state.

A hint of schadenfreude flashed across the Fourth Elder's face.

Don't be fooled by the calm and composed demeanor of the Yama Holy Lord; he's probably already furious, which is why he's come here to demand an explanation.

If today's events are not handled properly, they could very well escalate into a conflict between the two factions.

Thinking of this, he transmitted his voice to the Eighth Elder Lin Xiaotian, beside him. "See, I told you to listen to me, but you wouldn't listen. Now that the Yama Holy Lord has come in person, things are not going to end well."

Upon hearing this...

Lin Xiaotian's expression also shifted. Normally, he wouldn't advocate pursuing the crime of the Yama Holy Sect offending the sect leader.

But inexplicably, he came up with that strange law.

The key is not to go against Chen Ning's will.

It didn't end well.

But now even the Yama Holy Lord has come to our door, and he's very serious, not lively at all.

He was beginning to waver slightly over that ironclad rule.

At this moment, three figures slowly walked in from outside the reception hall.

Just when everyone was bored, they all turned their attention to that direction.

All that could be seen was Chen Ning striding ahead, his face calm and composed.

Su Ling'er followed closely behind.

The last figure aroused everyone's suspicion.

"Huh? Why is someone walking backwards?"

"Isn't this... isn't this Deacon Wang?"

Soon, an elder recognized Wang Feng, who was walking backwards.

Deacon Wang is the chief deacon of Vermilion Bird Peak, responsible for handling miscellaneous affairs. Because it is Vermilion Bird Peak where Chen Ning is located, it is a place that many people pay attention to, and they are quite familiar with Wang Feng.

"Deacon Wang, it's alright, don't be afraid. Just stay here and don't move. I'll finish dealing with things here."

Chen Ning assumed that Deacon Wang must have been caught off guard by this scene and was feeling a bit flustered, so he carefully offered a word of reassurance.

Then, under everyone's gaze, he calmly walked to the highest seat and sat down.

He glanced at the Yama Holy Lord a few more times.

As expected, he possessed an extraordinary appearance, and his attire and demeanor exuded the air of a powerful and unfathomable figure.

He clearly holds a high position and exudes an imposing presence without needing to be angry.

But this Yama Holy Lord, doesn't seem to enjoy watching the spectacle.

She never glanced at Wang Feng once.

Chen Ning's impression of him immediately changed.

As expected of the Yama Holy Lord, he is truly extraordinary. While others watch the spectacle, he remains steadfast in his principles, unmoved by external influences.

High!

Little did they know.

At this moment, the Yama Holy Lord was in turmoil, and he was trying his best to suppress his strange feelings.

If he still harbored any illusions before, now that he has witnessed Wang Feng's miserable state, he can make a definitive judgment.

This young leader of the Dragon-Seeking Sect is truly ruthless and insidious.

He killed Venerable Huang, tortured Wang Feng, and forced himself to submit.

Each and every one of these incidents demonstrates his skill and ability.

The key point is that at this moment, the young sect leader was still pretending as if nothing had happened.

Such profound cunning, such a composed temperament.

That's impressive!

Moreover, he brought Wang Feng to the palace today, intending to intimidate him.

Wang Feng, standing at the entrance of the main hall, glanced at the Yama Holy Lord in a panic, and cold sweat immediately broke out on his back.

How embarrassing...

Chen Ning noticed that the Yama Holy Lord looked unfathomable, and wondered what he was thinking.

But I couldn't let the conversation fall flat, so I asked, "Um... what's your surname?"

The words were spoken in a single breath.

Everyone's expressions were somewhat strange.

The Fourth Elder sneered inwardly.

This sect leader is so rude; he has truly brought shame to the sect.

The Yama Holy Lord is the leader of a sect with a ten-thousand-year-old lineage. He values these formalities the most, and just one sentence from him is enough to make people look down on him.

Cang Yue, sitting next to him, was about to whisper a reminder.

Unexpectedly, the Yama Holy Lord Hell laughed heartily, "Sect Leader Chen is truly a remarkable person. How about we skip the formalities and address each other as brothers from now on? I'm a bit older than you, so I, your foolish brother, am getting the better deal, hahaha..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ning was slightly taken aback.

This Yama Holy Lord is way too familiar with everyone!

We're not familiar at all. Who are you?

But he still agreed verbally, "Very well, then, Brother Yama, what advice do you have for me today, as you Dragon-Seeking Sect?"

Upon hearing this...

The four elders standing in the following positions had darkened faces.

What happened?

Why is the Yama Holy Lord so polite?

This doesn't seem like his temperament.

Rumor has it that this generation's Yama Holy Lord is extremely powerful, so why does he seem a bit reserved when he sees Chen Ning today?

A smile appeared on Lin Xiaotian's face.

He guessed right, and he was right after all!

One must never disobey the sect leader's will.

He glanced at the Fourth Elder again.

It was as if I was seeing my past self.

He was incredibly confident back then, thinking he could oust the sect leader from that position, but he ended up suffering a setback.

At this moment, the Yama Holy Lord also spoke, "My foolish brother has come here today because your sect sent a message asking my Holy Sect to apologize."

"So, you've come here to interrogate me?"

Chen Ning had already learned of the telepathic message from the Yama Holy Sect through Cang Yue.

A powerful person Yama Holy Lord would naturally not agree to apologize.

Their arrival today must be ill-intentioned.

So he was somewhat prepared.

"Brother Yanluo, I am not familiar with the rules, but both our sects are extraordinary. I don't think it's necessary for our two sects to fight to the death. We can each select a few elders and let them fight for a while. Deaths and injuries are not a concern. I will send out my fourth elder first!"

The words were spoken in a single breath.

The Fourth Elder was startled, and cold sweat poured down his back.

He hurriedly said, "Sect Leader... I am old and not skilled in combat. I'm afraid... I cannot shoulder this responsibility."

"It's alright. If you die in battle, it will be considered a sacrifice for the sect. We will remember you forever."

A hint of encouragement flashed in Chen Ning's eyes.

Hopefully, this will boost the morale of the Fourth Elder.

If the Yama Holy Sect is unwilling to let this go, then the only option is to activate this plan and send these undercover agents to fight to the death.

Perfect!

The Fourth Elder's legs went weak, and he almost couldn't stand up.

Yama Holy Lord, hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Brother, you misunderstand. I have not come here to interrogate you, but to sincerely apologize."

These words were spoken.

Everyone present was taken aback.

The Fourth Elder, in particular, looked extremely grim.

But there was also a sliver of relief at having survived a disaster.

This is quite contradictory.

"My foolish brother has failed in managing his subordinates, which has disturbed you, my virtuous brother. It was perfectly reasonable for you to kill him, so how could I possibly blame you? I have come to apologize and have brought two Mid-Grade Spirit Artifacts and over a thousand High-Grade Origin Stone with me. I only hope that you will not blame me for arriving so late."

Yama Holy Lord, finished speaking.

The elders looked at each other, stunned.
