It was because Deacon Rong was the personal servant of the Holy Lord, having followed him for many years, that her status on Sacred Mountain was far beyond that of ordinary people.
"We were overwheld by the situation for a mont and spoke without thinking. We hope that Deacon Rong can forgive our impertinence! Please help alleviate our troubles!" Elder Xu’s face turned slightly red.
Deacon Rong had a cold expression and didn’t respond. She walked straight ahead, motioning for the two to follow her.
On the way, Elder Xu and Elder Liu looked at each other with a tense atmosphere weighing heavily on their hearts, making it hard to breathe.
With their white hair, the two already powerful individuals felt an unprecedented ntal pressure before reaching Holy Lord’s residence.
After going through several winding and rough stone paths, amidst the swirling dust, Elder Xu and Elder Liu, two elders, arrived at a quaint and ancient stone door.
Surrounded by towering cliffs and mountains, lush and green, Deacon Rong lightly knocked on the door outside, bowing his head.
"Holy Lord, Elder Xu and Elder Liu have returned!"
After a while inside the stone door, a clear and bright sound of dripping water could be heard along with a faint and ancient female voice.
"Elder Xu, Elder Liu, what did you gain from this trip?"
Upon hearing Holy Lord’s voice, Elder Xu and Elder Liu couldn’t help but tremble slightly.
Considering whether to ntion the strange behavior of Fifth Saint Child in the Chaos Realm, Elder Liu took over the conversation, speaking with great respect.
"Dear Lord, this ti Baicao Mountain has suffered a great disaster because of Su Yi. The Fifth Saint Child, in the end, separated from us and went to pursue the last Water Crimson Heavenly Crystal."
After a mont, the old voice beca more powerful, and the surrounding spirit birds scattered as if they felt the imnse pressure and flew away imdiately.
"Because of Su Yi, they left and never returned! Su Yi caused the entire Baicao branch to suffer, yet the two of you ca back unhard!"
Dear Lord, actually… the two elders have been troubled in their hearts. When we were in the Chaos Realm, they proposed to destroy the Overlord Sect but Xue Honglou stopped them.
Unexpectedly, Xue Honglou managed to escape the surveillance of Elder Xu and Elder Liu along the way, leaving alone. Eventually, it was discovered that he had been practicing in the Spirit Treasure Tower for a period of ti, causing great concern.
Within the Baicao barrier, they didn’t even say a word to defend themselves. For the sake of Ouyang Jinwei, they selfishly entered the barrier to seize the Water Crimson Heavenly Crystal without any care or consideration!
"Actually, what? Do the two elders have any objections to my decision of assigning you to protect the Saint Child?"
"No, no! It is our duty to protect the Saint Child. How could we dare to question it?" Liu Feng was extrely respectful and humble.
Inside the stone door, there was a long period of silence, and in the awkwardness, Elder Xu’s eyes lit up.
He imdiately said, "But on this trip, Fifth Saint Child advanced to the Yuan Emperor second stage after the Yuan Void Realm! Such talent and strength is truly a blessing from my Sacred Mountain!"
"Where is Fifth Saint Child now?" asked the Holy Lord with an old voice, showing endless indifference. It seed not strange at all that Fifth Saint Child’s cultivation would advance rapidly.
"Um…"
Elder Liu frowned at Elder Xu, complaining that it was his fault for being so anxious to leave. If anything happened to Fifth Saint Child, they would be in big trouble. Elder Xu’s face turned pale and he didn’t dare to speak.
"You can go now! I have assigned the two of you to protect Fifth Saint Child for these days, but you were underutilized! Go rest at the Holy Spirit Peak for a year!"
"Holy Spirit Peak!"
Both of them looked at each other, their faces imdiately darkened. Holy Spirit Peak was where the Sacred Mountain’s practitioners would cultivate in seclusion. It implied that they would be confined there for a year and not allowed to leave.
Elder Liu quickly pulled Elder Xu, who was filled with anger, and comforted him softly, "Be content! It’s just confinent, no other punishnt. If Baicao Mountain was involved, you would have suffered!"
Upon hearing this, Elder Xu nodded repeatedly, feeling relieved and no longer concerned. The two of them transford into two golden lights and flew towards Holy Spirit Peak.
After the two people left, Deacon Rong continued to face the stone gate with great respect and whispered, "Holy Lord, Xuanyuan Zhisun from Baicao Mountain has co with the people below to apologize, how should we handle this?"
"If he can’t even handle a little kid, Xuanyuan Zhisun can disappear too! Let Great Saint Child and Elder Qin handle it!"
"Yes!" Deacon Rong whispered and went down to give instructions.
"Drip, drip!"
Inside the stone gate, the sound of clear and pure water droplets echoed, and a faint voice ca again.
"Hey, stinky kid, you’ve returned to the sect, why don’t you show yourself?"
"Holy Lord!" A woman’s voice exclaid softly, trembling with fear in her voice.
"Old lady, I’m back!"
Only a seductive and glamorous figure supported a figure covered in blood and walked in tremblingly.
Xue Honglou and Li Ling, who had just co back from the Heavenly Crystal barrier, heard Xue Honglou calling Holy Lord. Li Ling imdiately felt weak in the knees.
She looked at Xue Honglou with fear, as if she was staring at an extrely terrifying monster.
Calling him Holy Lord was like asking for trouble.
"No manners at all! After so many years, you still act so recklessly!"
"I am not a person from Sacred Mountain, so why should I have any manners?" Xue Honglou smirked and said softly.
"How dare you! Even if you’re not from Sacred Mountain, after all these years, you must have realized that Sacred Mountain has treated you well!"
Xue Honglou frowned and remained silent.
"Why did you go to Chaos Realm? Didn’t I tell you to beco stronger before investigating?" Holy Lord asked.
"I believe I am already strong enough!" Xue Honglou raised his head, his eyes filled with resentnt and a desire for revenge that reaches the sky!
"Then who gave you such a loss? You overestimated yourself!" Holy Lord sneered, but still with a hint of satisfaction.
"Boom!"
Inside the stone gate, a powerful and destructive aura rushed towards Xue Honglou like a raging tide, causing the entire gate to tremble with a faint sound.
"Pfft!"
Li Ling felt a surge of blood inside her chest, then she fell weakly to the ground, unable to get up. She could only watch as Xue Honglou’s vitality recovered, and she sensed that Xue Honglou’s energy had instantly stabilized. Holy Lord was actually healing Xue Honglou!
"I almost obtained the Water Crimson Heavenly Crystal this ti!" Xue Honglou’s face was filled with sadness, a glint of determination flashed in his eyes, along with endless resentnt.
"Is it that Su Yi?" Holy Lord’s voice was hoarse.
"Yes, he is around the sa age as the Ninth Holy Maiden, but his cultivation level is already close to mine! And at that ti, his strength suddenly skyrocketed, which was quite strange!"
"Bring him back with the Sky Wind Ranked Battle! I want to see if it’s related to that incident! Such talent, yet he was hard by Wang Quande!" Holy Lord said softly.
"Okay, but what about Weichi Changfeng in the Sky Wind Ranked Battle?"
"There isn’t much ti left for the Sky Wind Ranked Battle for those under 35 years old. If you can’t defeat him, it won’t be easy for to handle, you know?"
Holy Lord laughed softly and said, as if Xue Honglou’s injury this ti made Holy Lord reassess the thoughts of both of them.
