Although Xiao Hei's physical body is now comparable to that of a cultivator undergoing Fifth-Level Lightning Tribulation, however...
Ji Yang had only stepped into the Sixth-Level Lightning Tribulation.
He's only one minor realm higher than Xiao Hei.
For Xiao Hei, this was hardly a difference at all.
Even though Ji Yang is the Holy Son of the Seven Treasures Holy Sect, he is a level stronger than ordinary cultivators who have undergone the Sixth-Level Lightning Tribulation.
But so what?
Over the years, how many prodigies and monsters has Xiao Hei crossed borders to beat up?
Watching Xiao Hei's aura erupt in full force.
The residents of the holy city were all slightly taken aback.
The disciples and elders of the Holy Sect also gasped in shock.
No wonder he was able to crush Senior Sister Tingquan.
No wonder they didn't back down at all when facing the Holy Son.
Unexpectedly, the opponent's physical strength was approaching that of a cultivator at the Fifth-Level Lightning Tribulation!
"Moreover... his bloodline strength seems a bit too high, doesn't it?" The disciple who came out with Ji Yang frowned slightly. "Even I can feel that his bloodline is being suppressed."
The bloodlines of the disciples of the Seven Treasures Holy Sect, while not as powerful and pure as those of the Four Great Beast Clans who specialize in bloodline cultivation, are still far superior to those of ordinary people.
This is the first time I've been so thoroughly suppressed.
Another disciple nodded in agreement, his eyes filled with solemnity. "It's not just the bloodline, even the soul is trembling."
Moreover... facing this aura of bloodline and demonic energy, he actually felt a surge of desire to submit to him!
He overheard the conversation between two of his direct disciples.
The elders' expressions also darkened.
Xiao Hei hadn't used his full strength or released his bloodline earlier, so he didn't feel anything.
Now, at the moment when Xiao Hei fully unleashed his bloodline, just as the two disciples had said, this feeling swept over their State of Mind like a raging storm!
Not to mention the weaker outer and inner disciple disciples.
"What... what kind of bloodline is this? And its level is so high?"
now.
The very top of the Seven Treasures Holy Pagoda, the seventh floor.
Only the sect leader and patriarch of the Seven Treasures Holy Sect are allowed to stay on this level for an extended period.
But.
An uninvited guest arrived at the seventh floor of the Holy Tower, which is usually deserted.
In a magnificent, golden hall, filled with the Seven Treasures Holy Light.
An elderly man and a middle-aged man sat facing each other.
"Is this the Holy Devil Bloodline? I never imagined that the Holy Devil Bloodline, which invaded the Divine Realm during the Demon Realm's heyday, would still exist." The old man sat cross-legged on a futon, his long white hair covering his body and face, obscuring his expression.
The middle-aged man was the current sect leader of the Seven Treasures Holy Sect.
Upon hearing the old man's words, the Seven Treasures Chief God was startled, " Holy Devil Bloodline?"
However, he quickly realized, "That's right, only those with the Holy Devil Bloodline possess this ability. Even I have felt discomfort in my bloodline."
At this point, the Seven Treasures Sect Master looked at the old man and pondered, "If the Divine Realm knew that the Holy Devil Bloodline still existed, what would they think?"
"You must understand, the Divine Realm is incredibly tolerant. They'll do anything to nip even the slightest threat in the bud!"
The old man's tone still carried a hint of decay, yet even in his decay, he still exuded a sharp edge!
"How dare the Divine Realm descend to the mortal realm to take action now? In High Antiquity times, they secretly instigated the Evil Devil Domain to destroy the Mortal Realm's lineage, and even earlier, they secretly participated in the extermination of the Chaos Divine Dynasty."
"After these two incidents, they have been restrained. If they dare to descend to the mortal realm again or engage in any underhanded activities, the guardians will not stand idly by."
"Oh?" the Seven Treasures Sect Master said, "So, senior, you're also on this Holy Demon's side?"
The old man said, "Don't make me repeat myself. I'm protecting this kid today. After today, you can do as you please."
"Of course, if it's a fight between peers that ends in death or defeat, then it doesn't matter."
At this point, a cold light pierced through the old man's cloudy eyes and landed on the Seven Treasures Sect Master.
"If you want to do something shameless like an elder bullying a younger generation, then this old man will also stoop to doing the same to your Seven Treasures Holy Sect, understand?"
The Seven Treasures Sect Master frowned slightly.
The old man in front of us has already gone this far.
Even if they wanted to, it would be impossible.
After all, the other party was someone who stood on the same level as their ancestor.
If we look at seniority...
Even the patriarch had to call this old man "uncle"!
"Alright, there's no point in talking to a brat like you who hasn't even grown his beard yet. I'll go talk to that slippery fellow inside."
After saying that, he disappeared from the spot.
The Seven Treasures Sect Master's brows twitched repeatedly.
Only this old man would dare to call him a brat who hasn't even grown his hair yet, the current sect leader of the Seven Treasures Holy Sect.
and...
He even called his ancestor a slippery character.
What else is there to say?
Their seniority is indeed high!
"Well, no matter what... with the Holy Devil Bloodline, and with even this old man personally coming out of seclusion to protect him, he can't possibly die in the Seven Treasures Holy Sect."
The Seven Treasures Sect Master sighed helplessly and murmured, " Ji Yang won, that's better, at least we can save some face."
If we lose, we'll just have to accept it.
Thinking about this...
The Seven Treasures Sect Master beckoned, and an old man instantly appeared beside him.
"Go and tell them not to make things difficult for that outsider on the Seven Stars Platform."
The old man was slightly taken aback, but he nodded nonetheless.
As the old man was about to leave, the Seven Treasures Sect Master thought for a moment and then said, "Oh, right, also send out an imperial edict, telling the disciples and elders outside not to cause any more trouble for the Nine Dragons Divine Dynasty."
"At the same time, withdraw the bounty on the Nine Dragons Divine Dynasty and order those four forces to return."
"Also, we should have Ji Yang bring generous gifts to apologize to Mu Fusheng."
I've said so much already.
The old man became increasingly surprised and puzzled as he listened.
Finally, after the Seven Treasures Sect Master finished speaking, he asked, "Sect Master, why is this? What will other forces think of us if we do this?"
The Seven Treasures Sect Master gave a wry smile.
How could he not know the extent of the damage this incident would cause to the sect's reputation?
But...
The Holy Devil Bloodline, coupled with the fact that the old man personally stood up for them.
No need to even think about it.
What terrifying entity stands behind these young men?
So, what the hell does face matter?
Apologize and back down first, at least we can't let the relationship get any worse!
Although the Seven Treasures Sect Master did not believe that the other party could destroy the Seven Treasures Holy Sect.
It's best not to offend someone with such great power if possible.
"Never mind that, just go and relay my orders."
The old man could only nod and disappear into the holy tower...
