Ross ultimately did not charge at Ye Haochuan’s Divine Concealnt Sword, and he certainly wouldn’t admit he was afraid of death. The reason he gave himself was that seeking one’s own death in such a way was an act of cowardice shirking responsibility.
What he had to do was bear the disgrace and, in the days to co, return the sha of today intact to Huaxia.
He didn’t reach out to shake Ye Haochuan’s hand, but instead, using his last bit of strength, slowly stood up.
At this mont, Long Xiaotian also ca in front of Ross, pretending to be "apologetic" and said, "The younger generation doesn’t know any better when making a move, and I hope His Highness Ross forgives this."
Saying so, he turned his head toward Ye Haochuan, with a face full of "reprimand," saying, "You scoundrel, how could you be so harsh to His Highness Ross? The status of His Highness Ross in the Church is not sothing you can offend! Quick, apologize to His Highness Ross!"
Ye Haochuan listened with amusent; Long Xiaotian seed to be reprimanding Ye Haochuan, but every word sounded like he was saying: you, a person of such exalted status and identity in the Church, can’t even best a re junior of the Ancient Martial Arts Sect. Aren’t you embarrassed?
Clearly, Long Xiaotian had mastered the skill of rubbing salt into wounds.
Since Long Xiaotian had already made his move, Ye Haochuan, as the support, naturally had to follow suit.
Only to see him, with a face full of "remorse," cupping his fists towards Ross and saying, "I am truly sorry, Your Highness Ross. I was unaware of Your Highness’s combat prowess before and lost my propriety; I hope Your Highness will pardon ."
What he implied was, had he known Ross’s combat capacity was so weak, he would surely have held back.
Those around, who didn’t understand Chinese, saw Ye Haochuan’s posture and thought he was sincerely apologizing. Only they didn’t understand why Ross’s complexion not only didn’t improve upon hearing this but turned even darker.
Before Ross could respond, Ye Haochuan’s voice sounded again: "Your Highness Ross, rest assured, next ti we duel, I will surely strive to control myself and ensure you won’t suffer even the slightest injury again!"
Phew~
Ross could no longer hold it back and spewed a mouthful of old blood, fainting away.
"Kid, your words were a bit over the top!" Long Xiaotian, with a face full of "anxiety," propped Ross up, softly scolding Ye Haochuan.
Damn, clearly it was you who stirred this up, and now you’re blaming , aren’t you?
Ye Haochuan looked down on Long Xiaotian relentlessly.
The church folks were all shocked and hurried around, carrying Ross off for dical attention.
"Given His Highness Ross’s physical discomfort, we shouldn’t disturb any longer, and thus take our leave!" Long Xiaotian smiled slightly, cupping his hands to another steward of the Church.
"No way! Ye Haochuan is suspected of coveting our Church’s treasure, I cannot let him leave!" The steward coldly shouted.
"Say I am coveting your treasure; do you have any evidence?" Ye Haochuan said coldly, his eyes filled with killing intent.
The steward couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart, just about to speak, when Long Xiaotian suddenly spoke in a deep voice, "For the Church to confine without reason our Ancient Martial Arts Sect’s elite disciple, isn’t that sowhat unreasonable?"
With Long Xiaotian’s fair lips and white teeth coming into play, Ye Haochuan instantly beca an elite disciple of the Ancient Martial Arts Sect, his status instantly elevated significantly. Even though the Church usually looked down on Xuann, they wouldn’t dare take rash action against the Ancient Martial Arts Sect’s elite disciples without cause.
"This..."
The steward was at a loss for words but heard Long Xiaotian continuing, "If you are determined to detain us, I will have to ask the Sect Leader to directly negotiate with the Pope. Ye Haochuan is one of our Ancient Martial Arts Sect’s most valued young disciples, absolutely cannot be jeopardized!"
"This..." The steward was thoroughly shocked, if it escalates to the level of the Pope, this matter indeed becos tricky. After all, they detained Ye Haochuan for several days without any evidence, which was clearly unreasonable.
With Ross’s fainting, the Church side lost their backbone. Although the steward had so power, he dared not bear the responsibility of causing friction within the alliance.
After thinking for a mont, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "We can let people go, but we need to investigate this matter thoroughly. If Ye Haochuan truly covets our Church’s Holy Object, we hope the Ancient Martial Arts Sect won’t shelter him."
This statent was rely a way for him to find an excuse to step back. Long Xiaotian didn’t pay it any mind, slightly cupping his hands, taking Ye Haochuan away in high spirits.
The steward glared angrily at the departing back of Ye Haochuan, his eyes filled with killing intent.
This ti the Church ended up disgracefully embarrassed to the extre, all thanks to Ye Haochuan.
Undoubtedly, from today on, Ye Haochuan will be the enemy of everyone within the Church.
Ye Haochuan didn’t know he had been completely placed on the Church’s opposition list, but even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.
A self-important Church is rely that; as long as they don’t tear up the alliance treaty with Xuann, they cannot do anything to him.
"Good kid, it hasn’t been that long since we last t, yet you’ve grown to this level. That Ross at Core Formation Realm Late Stage, even I may not be able to defeat him, yet you bested him. Seems my old bones are of less and less help to you." Long Xiaotian laughed heartily.
Ye Haochuan chuckled stiffly, actually winning against Ross this ti was entirely a stroke of luck. Even using the Communicating with God Treasure Order, fighting against soone at the Core Formation Late Stage was still a bit forced.
If not for Ross revealing a flaw at the last mont, comparing the Spiritual Energy, he undoubtedly would have lost.
"Brother Long, you’re too modest. I haven’t congratulated you yet, on advancing to Core Formation Late Stage, your strength surging once more!"
"Ah, getting old, the speed of cultivation cannot compare to you young ones. Stayed at Core Formation Mid-Stage for ten years before barely advancing." Long Xiaotian shook his head with a bitter smile, "You’re not bad, Holy Hand made the right choice."
"Indeed, this humble I, am truly an unparalleled genius in the world!" Ye Haochuan said flamboyantly, then his expression changed, seriously saying, "Right, I have sothing I want to ask you."
Imdiately, Ye Haochuan told Long Xiaotian about the light and shadow mark on Lin Qingxuan’s back.
Long Xiaotian furrowed his brow, contemplated for a long ti, and ultimately still shook his head saying, "I have lived so long yet have never heard of such a mark. But if it truly has been identified as a Divine Sacrifice, the situation might be sowhat grim!"
Even Long Xiaotian didn’t know the origin of the light and shadow mark, this matter was really potentially troubleso.
Ye Haochuan intensely gritted his teeth, harboring imnse hatred towards the Dark Church.
"If anything happens to Qingxuan, I will surely use all the blood of the Dark Church to offer a sacrifice!"
Long Xiaotian didn’t know Ye Haochuan’s thoughts at this mont, and continued, "The trouble you’ve caused this ti isn’t small, either. We should hurry back to Huaxia; staying here makes one uncomfortable."
"No rush, I still have matters unfinished! They confined this humble for so long, leaving just like this would be too cheap for them!" Ye Haochuan sneered.
