......
Xuanhuang Great World.
There is the Nine States Land.
Wuming Sword Sage once told Ye Xuan, the ones descending to the lower realm from the Xuanhuang Great World this ti are as many as two hands can count.
Besides Wuming Sword Sage, there are nine others.
The nine are spread across the Nine States.
One more person has also descended to Daozhou.
Daozhou, Central Earth.
The leading Daoist sect in Central Earth Divine Continent ——— Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect.
Deep within the sea of clouds.
There is a paradise isolated from the world, with a small courtyard.
In the small courtyard, an old man with a white beard leisurely sways on a rocking chair, mumbling to himself: "Shedding all the burdens, tsk tsk, feels so comfortable."
The old man gently shakes a palm fan, utterly relaxed.
But in the next mont, the old man’s actions abruptly halt, he floats up from the rocking chair, gazing at the depths of the sky do, his old eyes squinting into a slit.
Boom!
The next instant, a divine light descends from the sky, piercing a massive hole through the layers of clouds in the sky do.
Yet, the old man does not pay attention to all this, but instead stares at the person who appeared out of thin air before him, feeling his scalp explode!
The old man takes half a step back, then unflinchingly bows respectfully and says: "This old one is Zuo Yishan, paying respects to Emperor Ling Xiao!"
The newcor, dressed in a cloud-patterned white robe and wearing Light Cloud Boots, with white hair flowing, a grand stature, and eyes emitting divine light, casually glances at the old man, then walks to the rocking chair, naturally lying down and letting out a comfortable moan.
Only then does the handso man, whom Zuo Yishan called Emperor Ling Xiao, lazily speak: "Zuo Yishan, you seem quite comfortable every day."
Zuo Yishan, sowhat embarrassed, replies: "This old one has nothing to do every day, just idling ti away here."
"Oh?"
Emperor Ling Xiao squints at Zuo Yishan, smiling slightly, and slowly says: "If there’s nothing to do, idling ti away, then how do you explain the death of the Burning Sky Alligator Turtle?"
Although Emperor Ling Xiao’s tone is very calm, the underlying pressure makes Zuo Yishan’s heart run cold.
This is to hold him accountable!
Zuo Yishan does not argue, imdiately bows his head, and says: "This incident is indeed my fault; I ask Emperor Ling Xiao to impose punishnt."
Emperor Ling Xiao squints his eyes slightly at Zuo Yishan, remaining silent.
Zuo Yishan maintains his bowing posture.
The atmosphere in the air is sowhat eerie.
Bang————
The next mont, Zuo Yishan suddenly flies backward, blood seeping from his mouth and nose, falling outside the courtyard.
Zuo Yishan dares not defend himself, enduring the blow, awkwardly stands up from the ground, walks back to the courtyard, and resus his bowing posture.
Emperor Ling Xiao had already lost his previously soft deanor, now looking sharply at Zuo Yishan as if to see through him entirely.
Subsequently, Emperor Ling Xiao’s tone devoid of emotion, coldly says: "Did you really think aiding Emperor Ye could be hidden from all? The Double Emperors see it clearly; my descent to the lower realm is to deal with you traitors."
Hearing this, Zuo Yishan appears confused and says: "Emperor Ye?"
Emperor Ling Xiao glances at Zuo Yishan, indifferently saying: "Don’t play dumb with ."
Zuo Yishan laughs bitterly: "I truly know nothing about this matter!"
Emperor Ling Xiao shows a trace of a mocking smile in his eyes but does not elaborate.
This little old man, though ignorant, isn’t foolish after living so long, knowing that such matters cannot be admitted to.
Once he admits, then as the Emperor General sent by the Empress to the lower realm, I’ll have to deal with him properly.
Yet if he really kills this old man, his operations in the lower realm will undoubtedly be hindered.
So both sides remain tacitly aware.
"Enough, considering we were once acquainted, I won’t say more to you."
Emperor Ling Xiao waves his hand.
"Thank you, Emperor Ling Xiao," Zuo Yishan promptly replies.
Emperor Ling Xiao slowly closes his eyes, while his divine sense expands, almost instantly enveloping the entire Central Earth.
"Hmm?"
Emperor Ling Xiao suddenly hesitates, rapidly withdrawing his divine sense.
"Why has that old guy co out?!"
Emperor Ling Xiao appears puzzled and uncertain.
Just now, his divine sense extended to Dragon Tiger Mountain, detecting a familiar aura.
That aura makes him highly wary.
Dragon Tiger Mountain’s old Heavenly Master ——— Zhang Qingfeng!
Wasn’t he already forced into Dao Chu Ancient Land? How could he still be alive?
Or did he fake his death back then?
That’s impossible; the Double Emperors personally took action back then.
Who in this world can withstand the Double Emperors?
For a mont, Emperor Ling Xiao is uncertain, deciding to report this news back to the Empress later.
Buzz————
At this mont.
Emperor Ling Xiao’s heart stirs slightly; he doesn’t avoid Zuo Yishan and directly takes out the Jade Token.
Activating his divine sense, a line of text surfaces on the Jade Token.
"Subordinate has t the young man nad Ye Xuan..."
Emperor Ling Xiao writes quickly with his divine sense: "Find a chance to stay by his side, gain his trust."
Monts later, the Jade Token responds with a single word.
"Okay!"
With that, Emperor Ling Xiao retrieves the Jade Token.
The entire scene falls into Zuo Yishan’s eyes unchanged.
But Zuo Yishan cleverly pretends not to have seen anything.
However, Emperor Ling Xiao is unwilling to let Zuo Yishan go, smiling as he says: "You saw everything just now. I won’t hide; my descent is indeed for Emperor Ye. Yet my strength is limited, and the Heavenly Dao Suppression makes it difficult to breathe, so assistance is needed."
"Zuo Yishan, choose your side."
Emperor Ling Xiao says this directly, not giving Zuo Yishan the chance to dodge.
Zuo Yishan’s heart is already heavy, yet he outwardly remains calm, saying: "Emperor Ling Xiao, I am just a recluse, really not wanting to be involved in these things."
Emperor Ling Xiao isn’t surprised by Zuo Yishan’s response, smiling and saying: "I understand, but it’s fine. Just have the current Sovereign of the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect et ."
Zuo Yishan sighs inwardly, knowing there’s no escape.
After pondering for a mont, Zuo Yishan gives a slight bow to Emperor Ling Xiao, saying: "Please give this old one three days’ ti."
Emperor Ling Xiao waves his hand: "No problem."
Zuo Yishan bows: "Thank you, Emperor General."
Then, Zuo Yishan exits this cloud sea, returning to Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect.
Emperor Ling Xiao watches Zuo Yishan leave, rhythmically tapping the rocking chair’s armrest, softly muttering: "If you’re sensible, you’ll bow your head. Otherwise, if you dare to risk your life and inform Emperor Ye, your Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect will be wiped out under my palm."
Though whispered, it lands like thunder in the ears of Zuo Yishan, who has returned to the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect.
Zuo Yishan’s expression turns wooden, silent.
Indeed, he had that thought.
But now, there’s nothing he can do.
’Emperor Ye, you’ll just have to rely on your own awareness...’
