Fortunately, the name Ye Li was not unfamiliar to Luo Jinghui; in fact, it had recently become quite well-known.
No wonder he came with Chen Zhan; it seems an apology letter alone is not enough to show his sincerity?
Luo Jinghui smiled slightly, his fingertips tracing the cloud patterns on the Jade Slip.
Anyone capable of publicly slaying Creation Realm Snake Lord in the royal city must possess a cultivation level far surpassing that of True Person of Divine Connection like myself.
Yet now, such a powerful figure has to bow his head and apologize under the might of the Heavenly Talisman Sect.
This feeling of being turned upside down made every pore on his body open up.
Even the current sect leader of the Heavenly Talisman Sect has rarely accepted apologies from the Creation True Monarch.
This is the downside of caring for the common people: practicing Martial Dao makes it impossible to sever emotions, and we are destined to use them until death...
Luo Jinghui gradually suppressed the smile in his heart, instead adopting a numb expression as if he had just experienced the pain of losing his daughter, even his voice became hoarse:
"So it's Elder Ye from the Eastern Continent! I've heard of your name before, how could I not remember you?"
"But I'm currently in the Rear Mountain and it's inconvenient for me to receive guests, Trouble leave..."
Before he could finish speaking...
The Communication Jade Slip suddenly vibrated, as if the other party didn't want him to utter the words of refusal. "Sect Master Luo is joking."
"This is a matter of great importance; how could we possibly refuse to see it?"
Hearing the slightly cold words from the other end of the Jade Slip, Luo Jinghui frowned slightly and turned to look at the Heavenly Talisman Old Ancestor beside him, wanting to ask this Martial Dao True Lord, who served as the pillar of the sect, for instructions.
The gray-robed youth pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.
This signaled to him that he should agree to the matter and not make any further excuses.
The Southern Continent Heavenly Supervision Department is not a fool; excessive underestimation will only cause unnecessary Trouble.
"Since that's the case..." Luo Jinghui's brows twitched slightly before he spoke into the Jade Slip:
"Please wait in the main hall for a moment, I'll be there as soon as I've finished what I'm doing."
After the communication with the Jade Slip was cut off.
Luo Jinghui couldn't help but ask the gray-robed youth:
"Old Ancestor, they've clearly come to apologize. Why take it so seriously? Wouldn't it be better to let them cool off for a few days?"
"Too much rigidity leads to breakage. This Ye Li from the Eastern Continent is at least a True Lord. Do you really think he has no temper?" Old Ancestor Tianfu looked at him coldly and said indifferently.
"If I weren't there to oversee things within the sect, even considering the situation in the Southern Continent, he wouldn't have taken you, a True Person of Divine Connection, seriously, let alone come to apologize in person."
"Otherwise, why do you think I advocated for him to simply write an apology letter?"
"It's precisely to avoid making a fool of ourselves and wasting the opportunity to promote our reputation."
As he spoke, he withdrew his gaze, stood up, walked past Luo Jinghui, and then admonished him:
"Everything requires careful timing to avoid getting burned. If you continue to be so eager to put on airs and treat people coldly, you'll only make the Heavenly Talisman Sect suffer sooner or later."
"Be careful, one day you might not even be able to hold onto your position as sect leader."
"Let's go and see what this elder from the Eastern Continent is really up to."
His gray robes shimmered with Talisman- like patterns, and in the blink of an eye, they transformed into talisman paper and vanished into the Rear Mountain.
"..."
Luo Jinghui was scolded until his face turned green, but he didn't dare to show it at all, and only dared to vent his anger on other easy targets.
When it comes to easy targets for venting, Elder Eastern Continent is a perfect example.
Therefore, he activated the Communication Jade Slip in his palm once more.
This time, however, the target of his contact was no longer the gatekeeper, but all the elders within the sect who knew the inside story. He wanted everyone to see the humble appearance of this True Lord the Eastern Continent when he apologized!
When the elders of each peak received the Communication Transmission.
The words "True Lord of the Eastern Continent apologizes with thorns on his back" on the Jade Slip were particularly eye-catching.
The magnificent Heavenly Talisman Sect was constantly filled with elderly men in long robes.
Ye Li watched all of this calmly, without showing the slightest intention to stop it.
My mood unconsciously lifted.
Could it be that the Southern Continent Director of the Celestial Observatory is reporting false information even on such matters, and that the Heavenly Talisman Sect is actually a respectful and honorable Mountain Gate that honors its guests?
Otherwise, he couldn't understand why the other party would gather such a large number of sect elders.
Aside from demonstrating the importance attached to his arrival, there seems to be no other deeper meaning.
Upon seeing this, the Heavenly Talisman Old Ancestor on the main seat had a dark look on his face, and cursed inwardly:
"That idiot!"
Only family members know their own affairs.
Luo Jinghui, a puppet sect leader he'd watched grow up, was someone he knew what Luo was up to just by looking at him. He could easily guess Luo's intentions.
Several elders within the sect, who were at the half-step Creation Realm, never truly believed in Luo Jinghui's position as sect leader.
So this guy clearly wants to use the prestige of this True Lord of the Eastern Continent to consolidate his own sect leader position, which is like a castle in the air!
Old Ancestor Tianfu originally intended to stop it.
The White-robed Youth remained calm and composed, as if watching the various roles on stage take turns on stage.
He gradually felt relieved.
Time passed gradually.
As the daylight shone brightly, the entire Heavenly Talisman Sect gradually became noisy, with the sounds of laughter and conversation from many disciples faintly drifting into the main hall.
Until the main hall was more than half full.
Sect Master Luo Jinghui finally arrived, stepping into the main hall belatedly. He was wearing brand-new sect master robes and looked calmly at the Eastern Continent True Lord.
"I apologize for keeping you both waiting. Summoning the sect elders took some time, so I hope Elder Ye won't mind. You only need to..."
"It's alright." Ye Li put down his teacup, interrupting him again:
"I've only come to ask your clan a few questions, and I'll leave after that."
Upon hearing this, Luo Jinghui's expression immediately became uncertain.
It was one thing to keep him silent in the Communication Jade Slip, but now this person dares to do this in the main hall of the Heavenly Talisman Sect!
Absolutely arrogant and domineering!
Feeling the strange looks from those around me.
Luo Jinghui's feet gradually gripped the ground, and he felt a raging fire burning in his chest. He immediately gritted his teeth and shouted:
"Put your question aside for now. Trouble explain the tragedy in Central Continent Royal City first: why did you arbitrarily kill my sect's prodigy?! Who gave you that right?!"
"Given by the Divine Continent Heavenly Supervision Department."
Ye Li's voice was calm. "If you have any questions, you can ask them. Now it's my turn to ask."
"It happens to be related to this matter."
He slowly rose to his feet, raising his eyes to look at the furious Luo Jinghui, his dark eyes revealing little emotion.
"Is it true that your sect threatened the Heavenly Supervision Department to curse and kill the elders of the Eastern Continent?"
The young man's calm voice echoed within the main hall. Everyone sensed that something was amiss. This elder from the Eastern Continent didn't seem to be there to apologize to the Heavenly Talisman Sect; rather, it seemed he was there to interrogate them...
Old Ancestor's lips twitched slightly.
The look in his eyes as he looked at Ye Li gradually turned to pity.
Now that things have come to this, he could roughly guess the Eastern Continent elder's plan. He wanted to use this matter to eliminate the hidden dangers within the Divine Continent and to truly implement the so-called Divine Continent laws on their deeply rooted prestigious sects.
That's a bit ridiculous.
That's the downside of the Divine Continent Heavenly Supervision Department.
Although they can act as watchdogs to protect their safety, there are still often stubborn and unruly new True Lord emerging from within their ranks.
Tian Qingwu was like that back then, and Ye Li is like that now; both have the urge to flip the table.
But this table has been sitting here peacefully for tens of thousands of years.
Do you think you can just tear it down like that?
"Ye Li... right?"
As he spoke, Old Ancestor Tianfu also propped himself up on his seat, his voice filled with earnest advice. "As someone who's been through this, let me give you some advice."
"Never think that you are invincible just because you have advanced to the Martial Dao True Lord."
"The universe is vast, and our ancestral planet is also vast."
"You can't even dominate the Divine Continent right now. If you really want to overturn the table, wait until you become a Saint of the Great Void Realm."
"As for now, regarding your question, I can only say—"
He paused for a moment, then smiled and asked:
"So what if you're a young man?"
