Elder Tian's appearance was out of Lu Xuan's expectations. Although Elder Tian helped Lu Xuan hide his tracks, Lu Xuan only guessed that he was acquainted with the Jiuhua Alliance. He shouldn't be a member of the Jiuhua Alliance. After all, if someone from the Jiuhua Alliance held such a high position in the Sikong family, there was no way the Anying Hall wouldn't know.
Plus, Elder Tian said he wouldn't help him too much. It was precisely because of this that Lu Xuan was so surprised by Elder Tian's appearance. Openly confronting Sikong Dong could be said to be a complete break with the Sikong family. Furthermore, he was up against a very powerful enemy. This was no small matter.
However, what truly shocked Lu Xuan was Elder Tian's strength. There was no need to doubt the might that Sikong Dong had displayed, yet this Elder Tian was able to break Sikong Dong's imposing manner with a casual sentence. His strength was most likely not inferior to Sikong Dong's …
"Isn't that Elder Tian?"
"Why would Elder Tian go against Elder Dong?"
"Could it be …"
For a moment, the warriors of the Sikong family whispered to each other. Clearly, they were no less surprised than Lu Xuan and the others.
"Elder Tian, what is the meaning of this?" Sikong Qing stared coldly at Elder Tian as he asked. He had just noticed that Elder Tian had addressed Sikong Dong as' Old Ghost Sikong '. Although Sikong Dong's age was indeed worthy of the title' Old Ghost ', it was undeniable that this was not a good term.
Elder Tian smiled when he heard that. He glanced at Sikong Qing and said, "I've been eating at your Sikong Clan for so many years. I have to do something."
Sikong Qing was so angry that he laughed. "Is this how you help the Sikong family?"
"No, no, no." Elder Tian waved his hand and said, "I only said to do something. I didn't say that I would help the Sikong Clan. For example … temporarily destroying the Sikong Clan's Palace Guarding Grand Array, or helping to stop the Sikong Clan's Old Devil."
When he said this, Sikong Qing's face darkened. The warriors of the Anying Hall and the Nangong family were pleasantly surprised!
So it turned out that the Sikong family's protective array suddenly couldn't be activated because of this Elder Tian! And at this moment, Elder Tian was clearly standing on their side!
For a moment, the martial artists, whose morale had declined, once again erupted with fighting spirit. Their previous morale wasn't called fighting spirit, it was called a will to die, because they only hoped that they would be able to send Lu Xuan safely out of here. Now that Elder Tian had appeared, he had given them another pillar of support. No one would doubt Elder Tian's strength.
"Who exactly are you?" Sikong Qing asked in a low voice.
Sikong Dong's eyes were fixed on Elder Tian as he said, "In the Heavenly Sword Continent, there aren't many people with your level of strength. Reveal your true appearance. I believe we should know each other."
Sikong Dong's words were not false. He was once an all-powerful person, and could be said to have stood at the pinnacle of the Heavenly Sword Continent. Furthermore, the strength that Elder Tian had displayed was in no way inferior to his. There was only a small group of people with top-notch strength in the Heavenly Sword Continent. Most of them had interacted with each other before.
Hearing that, Elder Tian laughed. He shrugged his shoulders, and a series of cracking sounds could be heard. Under the widened gazes of the crowd, Elder Tian's appearance and figure had quietly changed!
They saw that his appearance had become younger, and his figure had also become taller. If Elder Tian looked at least seventy years old before, he now looked at most fifty years old. Of course, that was just his appearance.
After seeing Elder Tian's true appearance, Sikong Qing suddenly revealed a surprised expression, while Sikong Dong's face sank. Both of them said at the same time, "So it's you!"
Obviously, both of them had completely recognized Elder Tian's identity! As for Lu Xuan, when he saw Elder Tian's appearance, he could not help but reveal a strange feeling in his heart. It can't be …
"Haha, it seems that this old man's concealment ability is not bad. After so many years, you still haven't been able to recognize me." Elder Tian's tone was rather joyful, even … with a hint of complacency. Obviously, he was rather proud of his concealment ability.
"Elder Tian, haha, what a good Elder Tian!" Sikong Qing said through gritted teeth. This person had practically hidden under his nose for more than ten years, but he had not been able to detect him at all!
"Isn't the word 'Tian' just a leaf? I've already told you," Elder Tian said with a grin.
Hearing Elder Tian reveal his surname, at this moment, Lu Xuan finally confirmed his suspicions. He respectfully bowed to Elder Tian, no, to be more precise, to Ye Ruida.
"Grandson Lu Xuan greets grandfather."
As soon as these words came out, the crowd was in an uproar, especially those of the Anying Hall. Almost all of them wore expressions of disbelief. Lu Xuan was the young master of the Jiuhua Alliance, but now he called this "Elder Tian" grandfather. Didn't this prove that this person was actually the old master?!
The moment he recognized Ye Ruida, all of Lu Xuan's doubts were instantly answered. Why did his father at first vehemently oppose him coming to the Holy Temple of Eight Directions, and then suddenly agree? Why did he and Ye Ruida "coincidentally" meet in the Skyspace Tower? Why did Ye Ruida help him hide his tracks, destroy the Protective Formation, and appear at this moment to stop Sikong Dong? All of this was because Ye Ruida was his grandfather!
In the past, Ye Wuhen had once told Lu Xuan that because he refused to marry and have children, he fell out with Ye Ruida. Ye Ruida swore that he would not return until he saw his grandson. Since then, in a rage, he left the Jiuhua Alliance and traveled the world. Even Lu Xuan himself didn't know where he went. He didn't expect that Ye Ruida would come to the Sikong family, change his surname to Tian, and become the high-ranking "Elder Tian" in the Sikong family.
However, although Ye Ruida didn't want to see his "unfilial son" Ye Wuhen, it didn't mean that he cut off contact with the Jiuhua Alliance. At least, Lu Xuan's great-grandfather, Ye Guangjian, knew Ye Ruida's whereabouts. When Ye Guangjian came out of Mount Jiuhua, he told Ye Wuhen about Ye Ruida's whereabouts. That was why Ye Wuhen agreed to let Lu Xuan come, and at the same time, let Ye Ruida meet his grandson, whom he hadn't seen for 20 years.
Under the surprised and surprised gazes of the people of the Anying Hall, Ye Ruida looked at Lu Xuan with a smile and said, "Good grandson, when I get rid of this old Sikong, we can have a good talk."
"Ye Ruida, you really talk big," Sikong Dong said with a cold smile. Sikong Dong coldly smiled, "When this old man roamed the world unhindered, you were just a child. Now, you dare to put on airs in front of me? Do you really think that the Sikong family is the backyard of the Ye family? You should call your father Ye Guangjian over to talk to me! "
The smile on Ye Ruida's face disappeared. He looked at Sikong Dong and said, "In the world of cultivation, age is not the most important thing. Now, even my grandson can take charge of an area and stir up trouble in the Sikong family. What do you have to be proud of?"
"Very well, then let this old man see what qualifications a junior like you has to be so arrogant!" Sikong Dong shouted angrily, and a verdant cane appeared in his hand, striking straight at Ye Ruida's head. Judging from Sikong Dong's attack, one could tell that he didn't care about Ye Ruida as he'd said. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken out a weapon.
In reality, it was just as Ye Ruida had said. In the world of cultivation, age was not the most important thing. There might be a big gap between 50 and 20, but the gap between 100 and 200 had obviously shrunk.
"Swords, attack!" Ye Ruida let out a loud shout and raised both of his hands. Shua, shua, shua. Ten long swords transformed into ten rays of sword light and instantly appeared. In an instant, a sword formation was formed and shot towards Sikong Dong like a shooting star.
At this moment, each of the ten long swords was flashing with a different color. Seeing the sword formation formed by the ten swords, Lu Xuan's eyes flashed with a strange light. His grandfather was also a genius in the way of the sword. It turned out that the Ten Supreme Swords could be used in such a way!
The Ten Supreme Swords were a martial skill passed down by Ye Tian. Although it was not the strongest sword technique in the Ye family, it had always been regarded as the Ye family's unique secret technique. In the past, the Ten Supreme Swords were used one after another, displaying the full power of the Ten Supreme Swords.
However, Ye Ruida took a different approach. He controlled ten swords at the same time, each representing one of the Ten Supreme Swords. It could be said that the Ten Supreme Swords were displayed at the same time!
If it was an ordinary martial artist, they would definitely not be able to control it. However, with Ye Ruida's strength, he was able to display the full power of the Ten Supreme Swords. When the Ten Supreme Swords were used at the same time, their power was unimaginable. In an instant, they were evenly matched with Sikong Dong.
Feeling the power displayed by Ye Ruida, Sikong Dong's heart sank. The Ten Supreme Swords that Ye Ruida used was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. Since Ye Ruida had changed the Ten Supreme Swords into a sword formation, how could he not have mastered the other sword formations?
Currently, the ten swords in Ye Ruida's hands could be said to be as easy to control as his own limbs. In a short period of time, Sikong Dong saw no less than four different sword formations in Ye Ruida's hands. Not only were they incomparably strange and unpredictable, they were also incomparably powerful. In a short period of time, he could forget about completely suppressing Ye Ruida.
Seeing the old alliance master display his invincible might and fight intensely with Sikong Dong, the members of the Anying Hall were incomparably excited. They usually hid in the shadows. Never would they have imagined that today, they would not only have the opportunity to fight alongside the young alliance master, but even the old alliance master had appeared. It was simply unbelievable.
However, at this moment, Ye Ruida's voice was quietly transmitted into Lu Xuan's ears: "Xuan 'er, this old geezer Sikong is not easy to deal with. Although he can't do anything to me, I can't do anything to him either. Take advantage of this opportunity and quickly retreat!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan's heart trembled and he immediately came to his senses. Although Ye Ruida's appearance had resolved Sikong Dong's crisis, they were still in a difficult situation.
At this moment, Sikong Dong also opened his mouth.
"Qing 'er, Ye Ruida alone cannot overturn the heavens. Right now, several of the Nine Eastern Alliance's powerhouses are being held back by us. Hurry up and capture that brat Lu Xuan!"
