Chapter 1555: Preserve Your Dog Life for Future Revenge
"Good, good, indeed I, Ao Fangchen, have grown old. Even a youngster dares to ignore me now." Ao Fangchen’s face was filled with anger, and also with desolation."Elder Ao, the descendants of the Guardian of the Gods from various nations are crucial to the Continent. That’s why the Holy Master invited them back to the Holy Court. I hope Elder Ao can prioritize the bigger picture," said Ye Lanfeng.
"Hahaha, what, you’re trying to use the Holy Master to suppress me? One of you was one of the two strongest Saints a thousand years ago, and the other is the first Saint after a thousand years. You shamelessly teamed up to hurt me, yet you’re still talking to me about the bigger picture? I’ll fight you to the death!" Ao Fangchen’s dignity was heavily damaged, he couldn’t listen to reason. With an angry roar, he slapped his chest and spat a mouthful of blood.
The blood mist burned like a flame, it was the Blood Sacrifice Technique.
Even an ordinary Sword Master would gain a significant boost in strength by using the Blood Sacrifice Technique, let alone him?
In an instant, a huge array pattern appeared beneath his feet, and a rumbling sound echoed from the sky. The entire Holy Sword Peak was enveloped in a web of lightning.
By the looks of it, he was prepared to destroy his own cultivation, even sacrifice his life, to perish together with them.
Mu Hanyan never expected this old man to be more extreme than Jin Qisheng. It was just a small loss of face, yet he was willing to throw his life away.
"What the fuck, are you stupid? Sacrificing your life for face!" Jiang Yuzhe howled.
"Exactly, only Ling Baobao’s words are the truth: If we can fight, we fight; if we can’t, we run. Life is most important. Keep your life, and revenge can wait ten years," Zirong also howled, echoing Ling Baobao’s oft-repeated philosophy.
Huayue’s mouth twitched slightly, at such a moment, these two were still joking? And the term "life of a dog," he didn’t agree with that. It’s about valuing life, why call it a "dog’s life"? Although Baobao’s words were very reasonable. In fact, Han Yan had always acted this way, but Baobao’s words summarized it well.
At this, not only did Mu Hanyan and the others’ expressions change dramatically, but even the Holy Court Disciples below the peak turned pale. Once the power of this array was fully unleashed, they probably wouldn’t escape death either.
"Elder Ao, stop!" In mid-air, the Holy Master’s authoritative voice suddenly came, a seal dropped from the sky, enveloping Ao Fangchen within.
Ao Fangchen’s body trembled violently, and the array beneath his feet quickly disappeared.
"Greetings, Holy Master! Greetings, Holy Master!" The Holy Court Disciples breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly bowed to the Holy Master, only then realizing their backs were soaked in cold sweat, and their legs felt weak, as if they had just walked through the Ghost Gate.
"Elder Ao, don’t you know what this Holy Sword Peak is, don’t you know the prohibitions I previously set?" The Holy Master asked Ao Fangchen angrily.
"So what, Mu Hanyan caused my disciple to be seriously injured with his cultivation ruined, I’m just seeking justice from him. Jian Wuchen and Ye Lanfeng stepped in to stop me, should I just swallow my anger?" Ao Fangchen said indignantly, not backing down even in front of the Holy Master.
"I just heard about Yutang’s injury, I’m afraid some of his actions were also inappropriate. In my view, it would be better to investigate the truth before taking any action. If Mu Hanyan really intended to harm him, I will certainly seek justice for him," the Holy Master said.
"Hmph, what’s there to investigate? Even if Yutang did some wrong, it was just youthful ignorance, not a major mistake. Mu Hanyan and the others are unharmed, yet Yutang is seriously injured with his cultivation ruined, it’s clearly deliberate harm!" Ao Fangchen said angrily.
Mu Hanyan was amazed by this old man’s reasoning. In front of the Holy Master, he was still being so unreasonable. According to him, as long as Han Yutang didn’t kill anyone, it wasn’t a big mistake, just being willful. If he did kill someone, it would be an accidental death, deservedly so, and still just being willful.
"Elder Ao, you can’t say it like that..." The Holy Master seemed to share Mu Hanyan’s thoughts, said with a bitter smile. But before he could finish, Ao Fangchen interrupted.
"Then how should it be said? Holy Master, don’t forget who saved you back then. During the great war a thousand years ago, six of the seven elders of Divine Elder Peak died, I was the only one left. Yutang’s grandfather and maternal grandfather even died without their bodies being intact, both families have one descendant each, can you bear to see him become a cripple?" Ao Fangchen said with a choked voice, recalling the death of the other elders of Divine Elder Peak, he was deeply saddened and full of anger.
"Don’t worry, Elder Ao, I will keep Yutang’s matter in mind. Please return to the Divine Elder Peak first, I will definitely give you an explanation." The Holy Master sighed and said.
Not just those Holy Court Disciples, even Mu Hanyan could feel the Holy Master’s helplessness.
The seven elders of Divine Elder Peak had saved his life, among them, Han Yutang’s grandfather and maternal grandfather died tragically to save him. How could he turn against Ao Fangchen? The reason Ao Fangchen had his current status and reputation, why he was so arrogant and domineering, ultimately came down to this reason. People who rely on their merits and seniority aren’t only found in the mundane countries, but also in the Holy Court. And Han Yutang’s playboy behavior, acting recklessly without knowing the severity, also stemmed from this reason.
It can’t be blamed on the Holy Master’s weakness, as the entire Holy Court Continent has always upheld the values of Ren Yi, although in essence strength reigns supreme, the Holy Master, with his identity, absolutely can’t do something ungrateful. If he showed no difference between Ao Fangchen, Han Yutang, and others, it would only chill the hearts of the older generation of masters in the Holy Court. Who would still be willing to risk their lives for the Holy Court?
So, many times, he could only turn a blind eye.
"Then I will wait for the Holy Master’s explanation," Ao Fangchen snorted coldly and swaggered off.
Even though he was used to being arrogant, he still had to give the Holy Master some face in front of so many people. Moreover, he knew that today, in this situation, he couldn’t possibly harm Mu Hanyan, the Holy Master’s words just gave him a way out.
"You may disperse now too," the Holy Master waved to the Holy Court Disciples below the peak.
The crowd, already drenched in cold sweat, dared not delay any longer. After saluting the Holy Master, they quickly left.
"I’m sorry to have embarrassed you, every family has a skeleton in the closet," the Holy Master said self-deprecatingly to Mu Hanyan and the others.
At this moment, the Holy Master no longer had the majestic aura of a ruler of the Continent, deciding life and death with a single thought. Instead, he appeared kind and somewhat approachable, with a hint of helplessness, much like a family elder, making Mu Hanyan and the others feel a sense of closeness.
"The Holy Master speaks too seriously, it was my actions that were too reckless, causing you trouble," Mu Hanyan said somewhat awkwardly. However, if time were to rewind, Mu Hanyan would still act the same way. Han Yutang, the kind of person who, if let go, wouldn’t feel any gratitude, but instead would feel humiliated and come back with a vengeance.
