Being summoned by the Hall Master. What an honour!
Mu Rundong could not have been unaware of this.
Even he, as Saints City Manager, had only been fortunate enough to see the Southern Brilliant Hall Master once when appointed.
The Northern Brilliant Hall Master held even higher status!
Yet Qin Yichen had been personally summoned alone by the Northern Brilliant Hall Master.
Not only that, but he had even been promised a Sacred Land quota!
Meaning Qin Yichen could allow any person to enter the Sacred Land.
This was remarkable.
Within the Sacred Land, those who had received such special privileges were without exception the most outstanding talents! Moreover, as long as they survived, they could all become pillars of the Sacred Land!
Yet this Early Stage Martial Emperor Realm youth, aside from his somewhat distinctive temperament, Mu Rundong truly didn’t see what resemblance he had with those once-honoured peerless geniuses!
However, Dong Yu definitely was not speaking groundlessly. As for the details, these clearly weren’t things a mere minor Manager could speculate about.
“Brother Mu, weigh the importance yourself!” Dong Yu could only say this much. How to act was something he could not force upon Mu Rundong.
After all, Mu Rundong’s duty was to manage matters in Saints City. If something happened here, Mu Rundong couldn’t escape responsibility!
…
After brief preparations, Dong Yu directly brought Qin Yichen, mounted on flying beasts, swiftly leaving Saints City. They flew rapidly toward the Brilliant Sky Sacred Land’s direction, their posture as if afraid some accident might occur.
As they departed, atop a building in Saints City, a black shadow’s rather sinister gaze looked toward the city gate. The corner of his mouth suddenly curved into a cold smile.
“How naive. Dare to ruin our plans and still think you can return safely?” This black shadow chuckled coldly. Then, with a sleeve wave, several figures appeared behind him.
“Prepare to act!” As his words fell, those figures all nodded. Then, taking a step backward, they gradually vanished into the air.
Across the vast territory, the sky was cloudless, the scorching Sun hanging high, adding several degrees of heat to the land.
*Whoosh!* In this quiet sky, a sudden sharp sound of wind breaking arose. Then, a massive flying beast like flowing light streaked across the horizon, shooting toward the distance at an astonishing speed. In just a few breaths, it transformed into a small black dot, disappearing into the horizon.
That posture was like desperately fleeing.
Under this full-speed journey, approximately half an hour passed before the flying beast’s speed began to slow.
Upon the flying beast were precisely Qin Yichen, Feng Qianxue, Dong Yu, and their group.
At this moment, as the flying beast’s speed gradually slowed, everyone aboard seemed to sense something amiss, their expressions growing grave.
Mo Yuan and Mo Wen, two Peak Stage Martial Emperors, positioned themselves front and back, protecting the three in the middle.
“Since you’ve come, why not reveal yourselves? After hiding for so long, aren’t you tired?” Mo Yuan in front furrowed his brow, loudly demanding.
“*Kekeke!* Seems you detected us from early on!”
Just as Mo Yuan’s words fell, a sinister voice reverberated. On a nearby mountain peak, several figures emerged like phantoms.
Those figures stood like ghosts atop the mountain peak. Their entire bodies were wrapped in black robes, even their faces invisible. Only pairs of eyes brimming with cold killing intent were revealed. Clearly, these visitors came with ill intent!
Around these people, astonishing Yuan Energy fluctuations rippled. Formidable auras swept outward, adding several degrees of oppression.
Sensing the formidable auras emanating from those figures, Mo Yuan and Mo Wen’s pupils suddenly contracted.
They had originally thought escorting with their two selves was redundant. Even if some blind fools attacked their Sacred Land’s merchants in the shadows, surely no one would dare attack a Sacred Land’s Outer Sect Manager!
Yet the current situation clearly exceeded expectations.
“Who are you!?” Mo Yuan’s voice turned low and cold as he demanded. Facing ordinary Peak Stage Martial Emperors, he was confident he could fight two, even more.
But those figures before him not only included two at Peak Stage Martial Emperor Realm, but also three at the Late Stage Martial Emperor Realm! Moreover, judging by the murderous aura in their eyes, they clearly amassed such killing intent through slaughtering countless lives.
These were definitely not ordinary Martial Emperors!
This posture made everyone’s hearts sink a little.
“Kill!” Facing Mo Yuan’s interrogation, the several black-robed figures didn’t answer. A cold voice emerged from one, then those five black shadows burst forth simultaneously. Utterly disregarding their identities, Yuan Energy surged as they transformed into sharp offensive manoeuvres, enveloping everyone aboard the flying beast.
Seeing them attack so decisively, Mo Yuan and Mo Wen both stepped forward directly. Yuan Energy surged as they met the assault.
*Swish!*
In an instant, both sides clashed in combat.
*Bang! Bang!*
Violent Yuan Energy swept outward. The mountain peak below was forcibly shattered.
Facing the five-person siege, Mo Yuan and his companion quickly fell into disadvantage. Fortunately, their coordination was seamless, allowing them to hold on. However, under those five’s ruthless offensive, they found themselves in constant peril.
“Manager, Mo Wen and I will hold them off. You quickly escape!”
After forcing back a Peak Stage Martial Emperor attempting to breach their defensive line, Mo Yuan shouted.
Seeing this, Dong Yu showed no hesitation whatsoever. Directly nodding, the flying beast beneath his feet cried lightly, bursting forth in another direction.
In mere moments, the flying beast carrying three escaped beyond ten kilometres.
Yet at this moment, Qin Yichen not only didn’t relax, but his body suddenly tensed.
*Screech!* The flying beast, originally in flight, suddenly screeched sharply, its form abruptly halting mid-air.
“*Kekeke* Friends, why not come take a trip with me!?”
Before Dong Yu could react, a somewhat hoarse voice, seemingly deliberately altered, suddenly reverberated.
Under this voice’s pressure, the entire space seemed filled with massive crushing force. Like a great mountain, it pressed down toward the three. The originally scorching temperature in this realm suddenly, inexplicably dropped considerably.
“A Martial Ancestor!” Sensing this oppressive force, Dong Yu’s expression changed drastically.
It seemed matters had still developed toward the worst outcome!
