After killing Canglan King, Ling Yu didn't even bother to collect the True Treasure; she simply turned and ran.
Right now.
A powerful figure with blood-red wings and seemingly shrouded in Black Mist appeared at the spot where Canglan King had died, his blood-red eyes flashing with a hint of anger.
" Ling Yu, I told you to stop!"
As they spoke, the surrounding space was completely Space Lock.
Even though Ling Yu had already escaped, she was still within the Space Lockdown area. Her figure was forced out of the Dark Universe, and her expression changed slightly.
" Demon Shadow Venerable, I'm sorry, I didn't hear you."
Ling Yu stopped and spoke.
Ling Yu already knew who the person in front of her was: the Demon Shadow Venerable of the Universe Mercenary Alliance, and also the teacher of Canglan King.
"Didn't you hear me? You think I'd listen to your nonsense! Ling Yu, you killed my disciple! Even if you're a genius from Virtual Universe Company, you owe me an explanation!"
The Demon Shadow Venerable snorted coldly.
Ling Yu's expression remained unchanged. " Demon Shadow Venerable, your disciple Canglan King, killed my father and destroyed my family. Who will give me an explanation? I have already shown great mercy by killing only him today!"
"Still dare to argue? I'll take you down today! Even if you are the disciple of the Chaos City Lord, you still have to be punished for killing our Mercenary Alliance's King-level Immortal!"
A sharp glint flashed in the Demon Shadow Venerable's blood-red eyes.
Ling Yu killed his disciple right in front of him, showing him no respect whatsoever. If he didn't regain his dignity after being humiliated by a junior, he would surely be ridiculed by others.
" Canglan King destroyed my family, where are you to uphold justice?" Ling Yu stood in mid-air, showing no fear whatsoever.
Although this Demon Shadow Venerable is not a member of the Virtual Universe Company, he is Human Race Universe Venerable and would certainly not dare to kill him.
"Stubborn fool!" The Demon Shadow Venerable's face turned ashen after being repeatedly refuted by the junior. Without further hesitation, he flapped his wings and a pair of blood-red claws tore through the void and grabbed at Ling Yu.
Ling Yu quickly dodged, and nine bolts of Thunderlight scattered in all directions, fleeing in all directions. The claw just barely grazed past her, and before she could catch her breath, the blood-red giant claw grew larger again, locking onto her tightly.
"Is this the Universe Venerable? As expected, even Invincible King is powerless against the Universe Venerable."
After killing Canglan King, Ling Yu had already predicted this scene, so it was not surprising.
On the other side, the Demon Shadow Venerable's expression also changed slightly.
This Ling Yu, merely King Rank, managed to dodge one of his attacks. Those nine Thunderlight were so fast they almost fooled him. If he hadn't Space Lock the space beforehand, he might have actually been able to escape.
Such a genius!
Even the Demon Shadow Venerable felt a pang of jealousy.
If it were an ordinary King Rank, such an offense would deserve to be killed. However, Ling Yu is a disciple of the Chaos City Lord and the Myriad Laws Venerable, with a powerful background. Even if he captures him, he must hand him over to the Human Race for judgment and dare not kill him on his own.
Even if it's a trial, the best outcome would be nothing more than a trip to the Starfield Prison, which wouldn't be a big deal.
The Demon Shadow Venerable only acted to save face.
"Even the most talented King Rank is still just King Rank. Even the True Yan King only managed to escape from a Elementary Venerable. If he encountered me, he would still be at my mercy."
The Demon Shadow Venerable snorted coldly, and his blood claws, like a huge crimson cage, slowly closed.
boom!!
Just as the blood claws were about to close and grab Ling Yu, a black iron rod appeared and slammed into the blood claws, sending them flying thousands of miles away, breaking several of their claw spikes.
Suddenly, a massive silver figure appeared, grabbing the black iron rod with one hand.
"The teacher's guess was right; there really is Universe Venerable shamelessly attacks a junior!"
A cold voice from Silver Eyes echoed through the starry sky.
"You are—" The Demon Shadow Venerable retracted his blood claws, stared at the long staff in the Silver Eyes's hand, and his expression changed drastically.
That black iron rod, capable of so easily destroying his Top-Tier Heavy Treasure weapon, must be a Supreme Treasure.
"I am a disciple of the Myriad Laws Venerable, Silver Eyes — Demon Shadow Venerable, you want to capture my junior sister, did you even ask me?"
The Silver Eyes spoke calmly.
"The disciple of Myriad Laws Venerable, Silver Eyes — Myriad Laws Venerable actually has a Special Lifeform disciple."
The Demon Shadow Venerable was utterly shocked.
This information was not included in his intelligence reports.
Moreover, this Special Lifeform's strength was actually no weaker than that of Universe Venerable.
" Ling Yu, you should leave now. Your teacher is waiting for you in the Ganwu Mystic Region," the Silver Eyes said slowly, turning his head.
"Senior brother----you----"
"Don't worry, I'm confident."
"Thank you, senior brother."
Ling Yu knew that staying here would only be a burden, so she turned and left without further hesitation.
Did I say you could leave?!
The Demon Shadow Venerable roared, its wings flapped, and it transformed into a streak of blood-red light, chasing after Ling Yu.
If Ling Yu leaves today, he will lose face big time. For Universe Venerable, this is worse than dying.
" Demon Shadow Venerable, your opponent is me!"
Silver Eyes figure flashed and stood between the two. His large eyes on his forehead opened, and countless compound eyes on his body locked onto the Demon Shadow Venerable.
The words had barely left his mouth.
The Endless Reincarnation of illusions had completely enveloped the Demon Shadow Venerable, and the extreme cold carried by the Ice Soul Jade Marrow was also corroding his soul.
The Ganwu Mystic Region, on Wind Thunder Island.
Having escaped the Space Lockdown, Ling Yu directly used the Plant Life Divine Kingdom Teleportation here.
--
He found Lu Qingshan immediately.
"Teacher, is Senior Brother Silver Eyes in danger?"
Seeing his anxious disciple, Lu Qingshan smiled, "So recklessly you went to kill someone, and now you're worried?"
"This disciple had anticipated that the Demon Shadow Venerable might intervene, but as the personal disciple of the Chaos City Lord and my master, even if the Demon Shadow Venerable had a hundred lives, he wouldn't dare to execute me privately. At worst, he could just go to that Starfield Prison. I didn't expect my master to send Senior Brother Silver Eyes instead."
" Silver Eyes is alright----" Lu Qingshan was very relieved about Silver Eyes. That Demon Shadow Venerable was only a Intermediate Universe Venerable. He had personally experienced Silver Eyes's Innate Secret Technique. If the two of them were to fight, who knows who would be unlucky? Moreover, Lu Qingshan had given Silver Eyes the Prison-Suppressing Coiling Dragon Staff that Venerable Zhen Yan had returned earlier. Even in a head-on fight, relying on the power of the Supreme Treasure, that Demon Shadow Venerable might not be a match for her.
Hearing his teacher say this, Ling Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Senior Brother Silver Eyes, you're only King Rank expert, I didn't expect you to be so powerful."
She recalled the moment when the Silver Eyes made his move and smashed the blood claw.
Lu Qingshan smiled and said, " Silver Eyes is Special Lifeform, with Gene Level 600 times, and his Body of Time is about to be perfected with Body Amplitude of 99 times. His divine body is enormous, and he also has Innate Secret Technique. Naturally, he cannot be evaluated using the standards of Human Race King-level Immortal. His strength is already no weaker than that of an ordinary Intermediate Universe Venerable."
"So, our Ganwu Lineage already has five Universe Venerable in combat strength?"
Ling Yu was shocked.
Thinking back to tens of thousands of years ago, when she was still in the Ganwu Mystic Region, the Ganwu Universe Country only had one Universe Venerable, the Ganwu Country Lord. But now there are five.
This is all thanks to the teacher. Not only did he cultivate the Venerable Zhen Yan Zhenyan, but he also took the powerful Special Lifeform Silver Eyes as his disciple.
Lu Qingshan chuckled softly.
"Your senior brother Silver Eyes sent an email. He has already left Canglan Star. This time, that Demon Shadow Venerable must be furious. You killed his disciple in front of him, and he wanted to arrest you for punishment, but Silver Eyes stopped him. It seems you even lost some of your divine body. This is even more painful for him than killing him."
"Then this disciple should be more careful when going out in the future." Ling Yu, putting herself in the shoes of the Demon Shadow Venerable, also sensed that the other party was about to collapse.
"There's no need for that." Lu Qingshan shook his head slightly. "He attacked you today, and you could explain it away by saying you couldn't help but be angry. But if he still attacks you after the Human Race has judged and concluded the matter, then it would be premeditated, and I wouldn't need to be polite to him."
" Ling Yu, you've been in the Ganwu Mystic Region these past few days. This matter will be resolved soon, so you don't need to worry. Your master and your fellow disciples are your support."
Thank you, teacher.
Ling Yu nodded gratefully.
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, raised his hand and took out a silver-white True Treasure sword, saying, "Now that you've become King-level Immortal, it's time to change your weapon. If you had used True Treasure before, you could have killed Canglan King with a single sword strike. He probably wouldn't have had time to call for help. Although this True Treasure is only at the level of Ordinary Heavy Treasure, it can still be considered top-tier among ordinary ones. It matches your attributes. Refine and use it during this period."
Thank you, teacher.
Ling Yu blinked and accepted the True Treasure sword.
After leaving Wind Thunder Island, Ling Yu continued to refine the treasure in the Time House. No sooner had she left than Lu Qingshan's message arrived.
[You bestowed upon your disciple the Ling Yu True Treasure Thunderlight Divine Sword, receiving a ten-thousand-fold return; you obtain the Purple Lightning Star-Shattering Sword.]
A sword flashing with purple Thunderlight appeared in Lu Qingshan's hand.
Countless purple runes shimmered on the sword, like bolts of lightning intertwining and coiling together.
Purple Lightning Star-Shattering Sword!
It truly is a Supreme Treasure weapon.
A smile appeared on Lu Qingshan's lips. Just as he had guessed, the return of ten thousand times for First-Class Genius could completely skip two major stages. The bestowal of Ordinary Heavy Treasure could yield the return of Supreme Treasure.
This True Treasure weapon was merely an experiment he conducted.
Lu Qingshan checked his inventory.
"Unfortunately, among the spoils obtained from the Xue You Clone, there were no ordinary Domain Type or palace-type True Treasure. It seems I still need to exchange them from the clan and bestow them upon Ling Yu. Although the Black Sand Sea is good, it is only at the level of Top-Tier Heavy Treasure, which is still a bit lacking. Domain Type supreme Supreme Treasure are more befitting of my status Universe Overlord."
Lu Qingshan sent an email to Venerable Zhen Yan, asking him to run errands and exchange one ordinary Domain True Treasure and one ordinary palace True Treasure from the Race Treasury and deliver them to him.
When Zhen Yan exchanged for Special Lifeform and Earth Soul Pearl last time, there were still 0.4 Supreme Treasure Point left. Lu Qingshan temporarily stored them with him. These Supreme Treasure Point could be exchanged for True Treasure Points, which would be more than enough to buy a few Ordinary Heavy Treasure.
The Universe Mercenary Alliance, Glory Continent.
In the vast, white, icy world, the Demon Shadow Venerable looked at the email he had received, a flash of anger in his eyes.
Why did it turn out this way?!
The Demon Shadow Venerable made a call to question him.
A man with a pure white complexion and a gentle demeanor appeared opposite them.
--
" Demon Shadow Venerable, I am very sorry, but this was decided by a committee vote. It is true that your disciple Canglan killed Purple Feather King's father and family. Purple Feather King's revenge is justified, so he should not be punished. If anyone is to blame, it is your disciple's skill that is inferior. Both were King-level Immortal God, yet they were killed by the other party."
"Damn it, that Ling Yu is the personal disciple of the Chaos City Lord. He's World Lord Level cultivator who has conquered the Primal Heavenly Mountain. How could my disciple possibly be his match?"
"The Demon Shadow Venerable roared."
They were both King Rank, so they deserved to be killed?
He and the Star Prison Demon Lord are both Universe Venerable! What kind of ridiculous reason is that??
"This matter is already decided and cannot be changed. Demon Shadow Venerable, as a fellow Universe Venerable of the Universe Mercenary Alliance, I kindly remind you not to lay a hand on Ling Yu. Even if it's a minor injury, the Chaos City Lord might only give you a warning, but that Myriad Laws Venerable is extremely protective of his own. The Alien Race Universe Venerable who assassinated Ling Yu outside of Manka Star was easily killed by him, and he even threatened that even if he were resurrected, he would be hunted down forever."
"Furthermore, according to the intelligence agency of our Universe Mercenary Alliance, the four High Universe Venerable Demon Race perished in the Guixu Secret Realm might be related to Myriad Laws Venerable —of course, this is just speculation, and there is no evidence to support it."
Upon hearing this, the Demon Shadow Venerable's flames of anger were instantly extinguished!
He thought of that terrifying, silvery-white behemoth.
That Special Lifeform, merely King Rank, actually caused considerable damage to his divine body. Such a terrifying Special Lifeform even took the Myriad Laws Venerable as his master— the Myriad Laws Venerable ' strength is probably not as simple as it appears on the surface.
If the Demon Race Universe Venerable and the Myriad Laws Venerable who died in the Guixu Secret Realm are related, then----
" Void Venerable, I understand. I accept the committee's decision. This matter ends here."
After saying this, the Demon Shadow Venerable hung up the phone and slumped into his chair, as if he had lost all his strength.
Although the Canglan King was ostensibly his disciple, he was actually the descendant of the child he had fathered with a Alien Race in his early years—but he had not told anyone about this, not even the Canglan King himself knew it.
Although the Canglan King possessed considerable talent, becoming Marquis was already his limit. He only achieved his current status because of his support, but he never expected—
The Demon Shadow Venerable shook his head. Although Canglan King was his descendant, he had countless descendants. The other party was already dead, and even if he were resurrected by chance, he would continue to be hunted down by Ling Yu. Since that was the case, let's just pretend that this matter did not exist.
Myriad Laws Venerable
A hint of fear flashed in the eyes of the Demon Shadow Venerable. If the Void Venerable's guess was correct, then the strength of the Myriad Laws Venerable was terrifying!
Time flies, and four years have passed in the blink of an eye.
The fact that Ling Yu killed Canglan King of the Universe Mercenary Alliance as soon as he broke through to the Immortal caused some ripples, but the discussions quickly subsided.
Because something bigger has begun.
The Universe Peak Genius Battle, hosted by Virtual Universe Company and personally presided over by Myriad Laws Venerable, has begun!
