Chapter 1282 - Celestial Chi Yan
That hand was akin to the hand of a deity, filled with towering might that couldn’t be blocked…
But when that hand was about to envelop the region, the space before Mu Chen’s group suddenly shattered and a red gourd bizarrely flew out.
When the gourd appeared, it covered its path in crimson light that looked like the source of a volcano. That crimson luster was actually blazing flames, and every single speck of that crimson light contained a magmic ocean…
The temperature in this region had also soared, even the surrounding region gradually boiled.
An endless crimson luster soared into the sky and clashed with the massive hand. In that instant of the clash, the entire region trembled with countless clouds starting to blaze from the high temperature.
Under that crimson light, the massive hand swiftly dried up with cracks covering it, and in the next moment, that crimson light was petrified.
The hand soon crumbled, before it was reduced to countless fragments of stones that rained down from the sky, lifting shocking waves in this sea region.
When Gu Shihuang and Liang Xiesha saw the hand crumbling, deep shock flashed in their eyes, along with fear on their faces. Evidently, this scene had startled them.
The one that made a move must have been a genuine Heavenly Sovereign, and such a terrifying attack was actually so easily resolved. How frightening must the opposing party be?!
Before such an expert, Perfected Earth Sovereigns like them were merely ants.
When the red gourd destroyed that hand, it flew back and fell not too far away from Mu Chen’s group under their astonishment.
At this moment, they realised that the one that made a move was an old man in plain clothing, and they had no idea when he appeared there.
The old man smiled with his eyes narrowed before he grasped the red gourd and took a mouthful from it. At that moment, Mu Chen and the rest could sense the crimson magma-like liquid flowing into the mouth of that old man.
Even without touching it, Mu Chen’s group could sense the terrifying temperature. They knew that they definitely wouldn’t be able to drink magma like wine as that old man had done…
Mu Chen and Luo Li exchanged a look and they could see the shock in each other’s eyes. Judging from the move earlier, this old man was a genuine Heavenly Sovereign!
However, they had no idea why a Heavenly Sovereign that they were unfamiliar with would help them.
However, the old man did not bother about their shock. After taking a mouthful, he raised his head and looked at the spatial vortex behind Gu Shihuang and Liang Xiesha with a smile. “The Ancient Buddha Clan is a reputable clan, why are you degrading yourself to make a move at a younger generation?”
Gu Shihuang and Liang Xiesha kept quiet out of fear and did not speak. The vortex behind them maintained a brief silence, before an aged voice resounded, “So it’s Celestial Chi Yan of the Ancient Spirit Clan. However, our Ancient Buddha Clan and Ancient Spirit Clan have been minding our own businesses, why are you interfering in the matters of my clan?”
The old man that was called the Celestial Chi Yan smiled and shook his head. “There’s a seed that this old man has been searching for a long time, so how can I allow your Ancient Buddha Clan ruin it for me?”
“Hmph, this brat is the sinner of my Ancient Buddha Clan. If your Ancient Spirit Clan wants to take him away, I’m afraid that the waves aren’t something that even you, Celestial Chi Yan, can bear!” An enraged voice rang out from the vortex as it echoed.
Rolling his eyes, Celestial Chi Yan pointed at Luo Li, before pointing at Mu Chen. “The seed that this old man is speaking about is her, hot him.”
When Mu Chen saw this, he could only awkwardly shrug his shoulders.
That intent from the other side of the vortex had also felt relieved before he spoke once again, “Since that’s the case, then you can take her away. But that sinner must remain!”
When Luo Li heard his words, she immediately rebuked, “If Mu Chen is staying, so am I!”
Finishing her words, she turned to look at Celestial Chi Yan. “This Junior appreciates Senior’s kind intention.”
When Celestial Chi Yan heard her, he wasn’t angered but nodded his head with a smile before he turned to look at the vortex. “Looks like I can’t let this child stay. Since that’s the case, if you’re unwilling to let it go, then let this old man will have a taste of your Ancient Buddha Clan’s power…”
As he spoke, the red gourd also gradually emanated a scarlet luster before a terrifying temperature instantly swept out between the heavens and earth.
Seeing the decisiveness of Celestial Chi Yan, the vortex fell into silence. That Heavenly Sovereign from the Ancient Buddha Clan was clearly enraged. Today’s matter was something he had done under his own will, and if the clan knew about it, it would inevitably cause him some trouble.
Especially if this matter gets to Qing Yanjing. With her character, she would surely flare-up. She was something that not even the Grand Elder could suppress, so he would definitely be the one to suffer.
As the vortex remained silent, Celestial Chi Yan turned to glance at Mu Chen with shock flashing in his eyes and sighed, “This child is a good seed, your Ancient Buddha Clan is living in plenty without appreciating it. If this child is properly groomed, he will surely become a Heavenly Sovereign in the future. Yet, you guys are treating him as a sinner, how ridiculous.”
Hearing Celestial Chi Yan’s evaluation of Mu Chen, an unhappy snort rang out from the other side of the vortex, but he did not make any explanation. “Since Celestial Chi Yan wants to interfere in this matter, so be it. But I hope that you are willing to bear the consequences it may cause!”
Celestial Chi Yan chuckled, “Then it’s my business, none of yours.”
The Heavenly Sovereign from the Ancient Buddha Clan also knew that no progress could be made in this matter. Spiritual Energy swept out and sucked Gu Shihuang and Liang Xiesha into the vortex before emanating spatial fluctuation and gradually disappeared.
With the vortex’s disappearance, the terrifying pressure that enveloped this region had also swiftly receded, restoring light to this place once again.
Mu Chen, Luo Li, and Long Xiang felt heavily relieved, since the pressure coming from a Heavenly Sovereign was too powerful. That sort of existence wasn’t something that they could deal with at the moment.
“Thanks for the help, Senior.” Mu Chen turned around and respectfully cupped his fists towards Celestial Chi Yan.
Celestial Chi Yan waved his hand as he cast a strange glance at Mu Chen with a smile. “Child, even without this old man, I believe no one can do a thing to you today.”
He cast a profound glance at the stone talisman that was still in Mu Chen’s hand. He had sensed the powerful aura left on it that left even someone like him fearful.
Mu Chen lightly smiled before he exchanged a glance with Luo Li and said, “Senior, I wonder what is the matter you have to be looking for Luo Li?”
He did not store the talisman and allowed Senior Chi Yan to sense it as a form of intimidation. That’s because he wasn’t sure about Senior Chi Yan’s intentions for Luo Li. If it’s nothing good, then Mu Chen would let him know that even if he couldn’t confront a Heavenly Sovereign, it didn’t mean that he didn’t have any means to do so…
In this world, borrowing the power of someone else was also a strength.
Luo Li had also directed her bright pupils at Celestial Chi Yan with doubt. When the latter saw Luo Li’s gaze, he smiled with his eyes narrowed. “Actually, the reason for this old man to look for her is simple… I want her to be the Holy Maiden of my Ancient Spirit Clan.”
“Holy Maiden again?!” Mu Chen and Luo Li’s face slightly changed upon hearing that.
“*Cough* The Holy Maiden of our Ancient Spirit Clan isn’t the same as the West Heaven Temple!” When Celestial Chi Yan saw their cautious gazes, he immediately explained, and judging from the looks of it; he actually knew that the West Heaven Battle Emperor had tried to recruit Luo Li as the Holy Maiden.
“Senior, this Junior is the Patriarch of the Luo God Clan, not to mention that I’m not someone from the Ancient Spirit Clan, either. So this Junior appreciates your kind intention.” Luo Li shook her head and rejected Celestial Chi Yan’s kind intentions. Although the Ancient Spirit Clan was one of the five Ancient Clans in the Great Thousand World, she had no plans to cling onto them.
Seeing how Luo Li refused without any hesitation, Celestial Chi Yan was stunned. After all, the Ancient Spirit Clan was so famous in the Great Thousand World, and there’s practically no one that didn’t want to have a connection with them. But in the eyes of Luo Li, she actually wasn’t bothered about it.
Facing this outcome, Celestial Chi Yan could only have a sour face.
Mu Chen and Luo Li exchanged a look before they decided not to pay attention to him with rapport.
Mu Chen turned to look into the depths of the Spiritual Jade Island and said to Luo Li, “Let’s save Big Sister Ling Xi first.”
Luo Li nodded her head and the two of them headed into the depths of the island, leaving Celestial Chi Yan stunned on the spot with a bitter expression.
…
At the same time, far away in the Ancient Buddha Clan
A black-robed old man looked at Gu Shihuang and Liang Xieshe, who were trembling, and said with a cold voice, “The two of you are truly gutsy, my talisman is not for you to use to deal with that sinful child!”
Gu Shihuang and Liang Xiesha’s faces were drained of color, but the both of them did not dare to refute.
Seeing how useless the two of them were, the black-robed old man snorted before his gaze flickered. “The two of you will follow me and pay a visit to the Young Master, and report everything you know about that sinful child to the Young Master for him to make a decision.”
When he finished his words, he waved his sleeve and left. When Gu Shihuang and Liang Xiesha saw this, they immediately followed up as well.
The three of them passed by many buildings before arriving at a stone platform that was built on a sheer cliff with clouds surrounding the stage. An azure-clothed man was quietly sitting there. His aura was as deep as the abyss and unfathomable, along with a crystallised pagoda that could be seen through his slightly opened eyes.
When the black-robed old man came before the azure-clothed man, he stood with his hands behind his back, while Gu Shihuang and Liang Xiesha respectfully kneeled.
““This subordinate pays respect to the Young Master!””
The azure-clothed man slowly opened his eyes and looked at the sea of clouds with a faint smile, before his voice slowly resounded without any emotions, “The two of you have seen that sinful child?”
But when that hand was about to envelop the region, the space before Mu Chen’s group suddenly shattered and a red gourd bizarrely flew out.
When the gourd appeared, it covered its path in crimson light that looked like the source of a volcano. That crimson luster was actually blazing flames, and every single speck of that crimson light contained a magmic ocean…
