Elder Yang Was Actually a Saint King?

The guards entered the main hall to report.

Elder Yang and Chen Ning waited outside.

This was the first time Chen Ning had heard of Elder Yang's name.

"So your Yang Yongnian."

"Hahaha, my name is nothing to mention. I was originally a shepherd, a professional shepherd, but because of my weak nature, I was later called Old Man Yang."

It didn't take long.

The guard then left and returned; he wasn't alone.

They saw a middle-aged man dressed in brocade robes slowly walk out of the hall.

Upon seeing Old Man Yang, he cupped his hands and said, "Old Elder Yang, it's an honor to have you here. Why didn't you let me know beforehand? I could have been prepared."

They always showed this respectful attitude when meeting the head of the family.

The guard who had previously been somewhat stern with the Old Man Yang suddenly felt a wave of fear.

His face was full of panic.

They were afraid that the old man and the child would come to investigate.

Fortunately.

Someone of that status wouldn't bother with such a trivial matter.

Old Man Yang cupped his hands to the head of the Dongfang family and said, "I apologize for my abrupt arrival, so I informed you beforehand. Please forgive me, Head of the Dongfang family."

"It's alright, Elder Yang, don't say that here. Please come with me into the hall. This time, the Dongfang family must properly thank Elder Yang for his gift back then."

"Patriarch Dongfang, there's no need for such formalities. I've come today with a request: I wish to retrieve the Star Soul Cauldron."

"Star Soul Cauldron?"

A strange look flashed across the face of the Dongfang family head, who had been all smiles.

He still smiled and said, "Then please, Elder Yang and this young man, come in first before we talk."

Not long after.

Chen Ning followed Elder Yang to the main hall of the Dongfang Aristocratic Clan.

The current head of the Dongfang Aristocratic Clan is named Dongfang He, and he is at the Saint King Realm.

He is one of the strongest beings on this continent.

The Nebula Continent is ultimately a remote place, with no God Clan taking root on this land. Therefore, the strongest beings here are only Saint King.

But the Saint King.

On this continent, he was no different from a true king.

The other Saint King was the head of the Ximen Aristocratic Clan.

With these two top-tier combatants, the Dongfang and Ximen Aristocratic Clan were able to become two giants.

Dominating all others.

Chen Ning was already quite astonished that the Old Man Yang could bestow such a treasure upon someone back then.

Most importantly, this head of the Eastern family, a dignified Saint King, treated the Old Man Yang with great respect.

This isn't a relationship that can be solidified by just one treasure.

This must also be due to the Old Man Yang's own strength.

Could it be... that the Old Man Yang is also a Saint King?

Many times.

Chen Ning even treated Elder Yang as an ordinary old man.

Because he was so humble, he was the kind of person who Ren Yuan and dutiful.

But you can think about it more carefully in retrospect.

Could someone who can appear alongside Sui Qingshan and his ilk be just an ordinary old man?

"Elder Yang, why did you suddenly decide to take back the Star Soul Cauldron? Is there some hidden reason behind it?"

Sitting in the main seat, Dongfang He frowned and asked.

"This old man has a new master, and it's just the right time to use this treasure to improve my cultivation level, so I've come here abruptly to retrieve the Star Soul Cauldron."

The Old Man Yang smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang He first gave Chen Ning a deep look, a hint of surprise in his eyes, then laughed loudly, "So that's how it is. Now this Star Soul Cauldron is in the hands of my Dongfang Aristocratic Clan. If this young brother needs Star Soul Essence to improve his cultivation, he can simply take a few drops."

Obviously.

Dongfang He had no intention of handing over the Star Soul Cauldron.

Instead, he was willing to give the Star Soul Liquid to Chen Ning.

The Dongfang and Ximen families had been vying for the Star Soul Cauldron for many years, but finally reached an agreement for the two families to jointly control it.

Because of this treasure.

This has also led to the emergence of many outstanding individuals among the younger generations of both families.

Now, asking him to hand over this treasure is something Dongfang He is extremely unwilling to do.

Not only Dongfang He, but the Ximen Aristocratic Clan, if they knew about this, would also be unwilling to let go.

But if it's just taking some Star Soul Liquid, it's really nothing.

But Old Man Yang clearly didn't just want to get some Star Soul Essence.

"Patriarch Dongfang, I threw this item away, and it is indeed inappropriate for me to ask for it back now. But please have pity on me. If you return the Star Soul Cauldron, I will be eternally grateful."

The Old Man Yang's words were very humble.

This completely surprised Chen Ning.

This is clearly my own property; there's absolutely no need to be so subservient.

And if this continues...

This will lead to Dongfang He's attitude becoming increasingly assertive.

"Elder Yang, I respect you as a Saint King level expert, so I didn't say anything too harsh just now and gave you some face."

The smile on Dongfang He's face gradually faded, "Once such a treasure is in the hands of my Dongfang family, there is absolutely no way to take it away. Therefore, I can only bestow some Star Soul Essence upon this brat."

Upon hearing this, the Old Man Yang hesitated, and after a long pause, he murmured, "But my new master is a genius; a few Star Soul Essence Liquids are just a drop in the ocean. We need a precious cauldron..."

"No need for further words, please leave."

Dongfang He stared at the Old Man Yang and spoke in a cold voice.

This Old Man Yang suddenly appeared on the Nebula Continent more than a hundred years ago. He clearly had the realm of Saint King, but he had no Saint King demeanor at all.

He looks just like a rustic old man.

Initially, the appearance of such a powerful figure caused considerable apprehension among the Dongfang and Ximen families, who began to negotiate with him.

Later, after figuring out this person's personality...

Then it doesn't matter anymore.

Furthermore, since the two family heads had wanted to spar with him, the Old Man Yang kept avoiding them. Therefore, Dongfang He guessed that the old man must have obtained some kind of fortuitous opportunity.

Although his realm had reached the Saint King.

But it's just an empty shell.

The foundation is unstable.

That's why I've been avoiding taking action.

Later.

In order to protect himself, the Old Man Yang threw out the Star Soul Cauldron, attracting the attention of various powerful Aristocratic Clan across the continent at that time.

Final.

It was fought over by the two most powerful Aristocratic Clan, the Dongfang and Ximen families.

Later.

The Old Man Yang practically vanished from the Nebula Continent.

I saw him again today.

That's why Dongfang He rushed out, only to find that this person was still the same as he was back then.

He might have once held this old man in some regard.

However, this person has never made a move, and his cultivation level has not changed in the past hundred years, so it is estimated that he has reached the end of his martial arts path.

Most importantly, this person remains as humble as ever.

So.

There's nothing to worry about.

He might have been somewhat respectful at first, but once he learned the other party's purpose, Dongfang He's attitude changed drastically.

Now.

It's time to see the guests off.

"Patriarch Dongfang!"

The Old Man Yang suddenly rose from his seat, staggered to Dongfang He's side, and tugged at his sleeve, pleading, "Please! Please have mercy and return the Star Soul Cauldron to me."

Dongfang He's face turned completely cold. A slight burst of energy emanated from his hand as he pushed the Old Man Yang away, saying, "Old Man Yang, are you going to refuse a polite toast only to suffer a penalty shot?"

The moment Old Man Yang was pushed to the ground, Chen Ning could no longer sit still. The Dongfang Aristocratic Clan was indeed Deceiving People, but Chen Ning was no match for the Dongfang Aristocratic Clan now.

The realm of the Dongfang He Saint King Realm.

It can be considered to stand at the pinnacle of the Nebula Continent.

Chen Ning came to Elder Yang's side, reached out to help him, and prepared to leave with Old Man Yang.

At this moment.

The Old Man Yang blamed himself, saying, "Chief, I am useless..."

"Elder Yang, it's not your fault, let's go."

"The leader..."

The Old Man Yang's voice suddenly changed, becoming even lower and deeper. "I originally intended to retrieve the Star Soul Cauldron for you without resorting to force, but now it seems that widespread bloodshed is inevitable..."
