Hearing the Name Is Enough to Scare You to Death

"Spare my life..."

Seeing the sword light slash towards him, the old man was so terrified he lost his soul and immediately begged for mercy.

However... it was already too late.

Sharp sword qi pierced through his head. The old man's expression froze, a trickle of blood seeped from his brow, and he swayed, falling to the ground.

"This..."

"He really killed him? He's so ruthless?"

Witnessing the old man die before their eyes, the cultivators' hearts trembled. They secretly glanced at Li Yu, and seeing that he didn't seem inclined to pursue the matter further, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Supreme? That's an unfamiliar title! Who is this person? To be able to turn an ordinary mortal into a powerful cultivator with a wave of his hand, such methods are truly terrifying!"

The cultivators feared Li Yu to an extreme.

When his disciples called out "Grandmaster, save me!" he could manifest. With a wave of his hand, he could create a powerful cultivator who could crush everyone. Such divine abilities were unheard of.

Mysterious! Profound! Such a person was truly not to be provoked!

"Zhou Yi he..."

Seeing Zhou Yi actually kill someone, Li Xiaoman and the other classmates were also frightened.

Living in a society governed by laws, the act of killing had an immense impact on these people. All the classmates looked at Zhou Yi with a hint of terror.

"Liu Yunzhi, we have a score to settle."

Zhou Yi turned around, his icy eyes fixed on Liu Yunzhi. Sword light, as clear as water, swirled around his fingertips, exuding a chilling coldness like the dead of winter.

"I..."

Liu Yunzhi's face turned pale, and he stumbled backward in fear. "Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi! We're classmates, do you really intend to kill me? I..."

"Classmates?"

A cold sneer appeared on Zhou Yi's face, and the finger wrapped in sword qi was already raised.

"When you framed me just now, did you think about us being classmates? You wanted my life, so why should I bother talking about being classmates? Die for me!"

The sword light flashed and disappeared, and Liu Yunzhi fell to the ground in response.

"Ah!"

The classmates cried out in alarm, staggering back a few steps, looking at Zhou Yi in horror, seemingly unable to believe it.

"He wanted my life, am I supposed to just let him slaughter me?"

Zhou Yi snorted coldly, ignoring the expressions of his classmates. He walked up to Li Yu and bowed, saying, "Grandmaster, your disciple has fulfilled his mission!"

"Very good!"

Li Yu nodded with a smile and gently waved his hand. A point of light detached from Zhou Yi's brow and fell into Li Yu's hand.

Zhou Yi's body trembled slightly, and he heard the Heavenly Book Spirit's report in his ear.

"Your Majesty, the Dao Ancestor has reclaimed his magic power. You have lost the Grand Void Sword Qi and your true essence magic power."

"It's truly... a little reluctant!"

The true essence magic power was gone, the Grand Void Sword Qi was gone, and his body felt hollowed out, empty.

Having felt extraordinary power, and then suddenly losing it, Zhou Yi couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.

"Your Majesty, the magic power bestowed was external power after all, not your own cultivation. Keeping it would be harmful. The Dao Ancestor's actions were for your own good."

"I understand, of course."

Zhou Yi took a deep breath, his heart calm and undisturbed, returning to his usual state of mind.

"Not bad! Not bad!"

Seeing Zhou Yi adjust his mindset so quickly, Li Yu truly began to appreciate him.

"Esteemed Sir..."

At this moment, an elder leading the group from the Spirit Void Grotto-Heaven stepped forward and bowed to Li Yu. "Esteemed Sir, we harbored greed and offended your disciple. We are truly sorry. Your magnanimity is as vast as the sea; we are deeply grateful for your forgiveness. The matter is now concluded, may we be permitted to take our leave?"

"Heh heh. You don't need to be so formal."

Li Yu smiled and nodded at the elder, then pointed at Li Xiaoman and the others. "These individuals came here partly due to my involvement, so I cannot simply ignore them. Their aptitude is quite good. You may take them under your tutelage and give them a future. What do you say?"

"Ah... Good! Good! Good!"

"That's wonderful! That's wonderful!"

The cultivators initially thought these promising young practitioners were no longer related to them. Hearing Li Yu's words now, it felt like a surprise gift from heaven, and they were overjoyed.

"Supreme Grandmaster, can we perhaps become your disciples?"

Li Xiaoman looked at Li Yu with a face full of hope.

"Ah! Right! Right! Right!"

"Grandmaster, please accept us as your disciples!"

Recalling Li Yu's divine abilities just now, and how Zhou Yi had instantly gone from a mere mortal to a powerful killer, how could they not understand that Li Yu was the true divine being? Naturally, they wanted to become his disciples.

"The poor Daoist and you truly have no master-disciple connection! This cannot be forced!"

Li Yu shook his head with a smile, then turned to look at Zhou Yi. "I have only manifested a clone here; my true body is still roaming the sea of stars and will need some time to return. You can wait here for a moment. Once my true body returns, I will explain things to you."

Without waiting for Zhou Yi's reply, Li Yu scanned the room with a glance and nodded with a smile. "This poor Daoist takes his leave."

As soon as the words fell, a flash of purple light streaked across the sky, and Li Yu's figure vanished.

"A clone manifested here, while the true body roams the sea of stars?"

"What kind of mighty power is that?"

Hearing Li Yu's words, the cultivators were dumbfounded. Such divine abilities were simply unimaginable!

"That... Young Master Zhou..."

The old man with a bronze complexion looked at Zhou Yi with an embarrassed expression, reaching out and slapping his own face several times. "I offended you greatly just now. Please forgive me, Young Master Zhou!"

"My apologies!"

The sinister old woman said with a fawning smile, looking at Zhou Yi expectantly.

"That... Young Master Zhou, we didn't know your background was so extraordinary. Please bear with us for any offense caused."

The old man from Spirit Void Grotto-Heaven also wore a fawning smile, continuously apologizing to Zhou Yi.

It wasn't that they were wrong to apologize!

Damn it, just a clone appearing had scared them half to death. Now, the true body was returning, and they were still expected to live!

"I already said in front of the Grandmaster that I wouldn't hold grudges, so naturally, I won't. You can rest assured!"

Zhou Yi replied in a calm tone, but inwardly, he was extremely pleased.

I am a disciple of the Dao Ancestor! With this mighty figure protecting me, who should I be afraid of? Who else would dare provoke me?

"Thank you for your magnanimity, Young Master Zhou!"

All the cultivators bowed to Zhou Yi, showing utmost respect and not daring to show the slightest disrespect.

"What kind of luck did this Zhou Yi guy get?"

Seeing this scene, Ye Fan felt a pang of envy and even more regret.

Li Yu was the first person he encountered! He had blocked his car on the road and been cursed at by him. If he hadn't cursed him then, but instead spoken kindly, perhaps this opportunity would have fallen to him.

"Why didn't he accept me? I was clearly the first one to meet him!"

Li Xiaoman also looked depressed. She had clearly met Li Yu before Zhou Yi, who only came later. Why did he choose Zhou Yi and not her?

"Young Master Zhou, may I ask what background your Grandmaster has? We are ignorant and ask for your guidance."

An elder respectfully asked Zhou Yi.

"You haven't heard of the Grandmaster's name?"

Zhou Yi looked at the cultivators with some surprise. "The Supreme Dao Ancestor? You haven't heard of him? Limitless Supreme Pure Moral Celestial Venerable, you haven't heard of him?"

"Moral Celestial Venerable!"

Upon hearing this name, the cultivators let out a strange cry, and with a thump, they all collapsed onto the ground, their bodies going weak, and sweat pouring down like rain.

"We're still alive, what great fortune!"
