Nie Tian could not help but frown as he stared at the black-robed figure above the Void.
It was an old man with wrinkles all over his aged face. His body was short and stooped, and he looked like a withered leaf in the wind as he stood there.
However, his aura was frightening, and a dark aura was vaguely circulating around his body.
Although that dark aura did not appear to be powerful, it felt like an ocean if one were to sense it carefully — vast, boundless, and endless.
Judging from his aura alone, the black-robed old man's ability did not seem to be beneath Anye Mingya's.
At the moment, the black-robed old man's face was gloomy, and his pair of cold eyes were staring fixedly at Nie Tian.
"Laozu!" Ye Chenli exclaimed in surprise as he abruptly turned towards the black-robed old man, his eyes filled with delight.
"The Third Patriarch of Death Night!" Anye Mingya frowned as well. He actually did not notice that there was someone hiding in the Void.
Still, he quickly recognized who it was: it was one of the Third Patriarchs of the Death Night Empire.
The Death Night Empire was extremely powerful, and had three individuals on the same level as Laozu, known as the Third Patriarch of Death Night.
It was rumored that the Third Patriarch of Death Night had the ability of Demi Saint.
"That old man has such a powerful aura. What level of champion is he?" Nie Tian's gaze trembled as he stared at the black-robed old man, his heart filled with shock.
"That old man is about the same level as Anye Mingya, and should be a Demi Saint." Fat Cat's deep voice rang then.
"A Demi Saint?" Nie Tian did a double take before asking, "What level is that, Xiao Fei?"
Nie Tian had already learned about the Demi Saint realm before.
Not too long ago, he had even heard Fat Cat mention a Demi Saint.
And now, another Demi Saint had appeared.
He could not help but feel a little confused.
"Nie Tian, now that you've asked, I'll tell you about it," Nie Tian said. Fat Cat frowned. "Actually, there are three intermediate levels between Overgod pinnacle and Saint: Demi Saint, Demi Saint, and Demi Saint."
"Demi Saint! Demi Saint! Fake Sage! "Nie Tian's eyes flickered when he heard what Fat Cat said. He secretly memorized the three realms.
Fat Cat nodded. "Half Sages are people who are far stronger than peak Paramount Gods. But there's a huge gap between them and sages."
"For example, Ming Jianyu. Ming Jianyu, the Yin Moon Emperor, and the Dark Asura Deity are all Half Saints."
"As for Demi Saints, they are the champions who are extremely close to becoming Saints."
"The three Legendary swordsmen and the old man in front of you are all Demi Saints."
"As for Pseudo Holiness, it's a little more complicated. Pseudo Saints, as the name suggests, are false saints. "
"A False Saint. Although he is a False Saint, he is still stronger than a Demi Saint."
"That's because Pseudo Saints are already able to produce Sage Qi, and possess strength comparable to Sages. The only difference is that they are unable to release Sacred Light."
"Holy Light is the light of a Saint. This is the symbol of a Saint."
"Only those who possess the Holy Light are true saints."
"Pseudo Saints are False Saints precisely because they do not have the Holy Light."
After saying that, Little Fat Cat nodded and did not say anything else.
Nie Tian's gaze was quivering. Although he was very shocked by Fat Cat's words, he was already very clear.
Demi Saint, Demi Saint, and Pseudo Saint. The three tiers in between were each more powerful than the last.
It was especially true for Pseudo Saints, who would almost have the combat ability of a Saint. The only difference was that they did not have the Holy Light.
"Xiao Fei, is that mysterious person a Pseudo Saint?" Nie Tian could not help but ask when he suddenly thought of the mysterious person.
Anye Mingya and the others were all Demi Saints.
On the other hand, the mysterious person had taken on a combined blow from both Anye Mingya and Guangwu Fengnian, and was clearly more powerful.
That was why Nie Tian really wanted to know if the mysterious person was a Pseudo Saint.
"I don't know." Unexpectedly, Fat Cat shook his head and said, "That mysterious person is definitely more powerful than Anye Mingya and the others, but I can't be sure if he has reached the threshold of Pseudo Saint."
Nie Tian stared blankly for a moment. It appeared that Fat Cat's current senses could not differentiate between Demi Saints and Pseudo Saints.
Still, he was now certain that Pseudo Saints were the pinnacle champions of the Forsaken Lands!
There were probably not many Pseudo Saints in the entire Forsaken Lands.
Nie Tian's expression could not help but darken when he ascertained the black-robed elder's ability.
That elder clearly did not come with good intentions. He had no intention of letting Nie Tian leave, and was instead intent on keeping Nie Tian here.
Ye Chenli had addressed the elder as Laozu, which meant that the latter was clearly from the Dying Night Empire and was probably here for the Nine-Hearts Bewitching Lotus.
That was when Laozu looked at Anye Mingya and said calmly, "Lord Sword Saint, please leave. Leave the matters here to this old man."
"What do you mean by that, Your Excellency?" Anye Mingya was aware of Passing Night Laozu's identity, but he did not know who he was. He smiled Coldly and said in a low voice.
"Hmm?" Passing Night Laozu could tell that Anye Mingya's tone was displeased, and his eyes narrowed as he smiled and said, "Lord Sword Saint, are you really going to let this kid go?"
"Of course!" Anye Mingya laughed loudly and said, "This is an agreement between me and him. Do you think that I would go back on my word?"
Passing Night Laozu's expression darkened. He clearly did not expect that Anye Mingya would have such an attitude.
Nie Tian's gaze fell on Anye Mingya, and the corner of his mouth could not help but curl up.
He had not misjudged Anye Mingya. The latter was a man with the demeanor of a swordsman.
"Lord Sword Saint, this old man knows what you are thinking." Passing Night Laozu smiled sinisterly and said, "If you are afraid that what happened just now will be leaked, this old man can personally kill three thousand of the Passing Night Imperial Guards."
"As for Ye Chenli, he will not say a word."
"As for this old man, I will not even leave the Passing Night Empire, let alone say anything."
"Lord Sword Saint, what do you think of this old man's suggestion?"
His voice was not loud, but it resounded in everyone's ears like a clap of thunder.
In particular, the faces of the three thousand Passing Night Imperial Guards turned pale with fright.
In order to help Anye Mingya keep the secret, Passing Night Laozu was going to kill them all!
"Are you insulting me by saying this?" Anye Mingya growled and said, "I, Anye Mingya, am not a good person."
"However, I have my own principles. Let me be a vile person who goes back on his word."
"I'm sorry, I, Anye Mingya, can't do that!"
His ice-cold words were loud and clear, sonorous and forceful.
Passing Night Laozu's face darkened again. He did not expect that his words would directly provoke Anye Mingya.
He had originally thought that Anye Mingya was worried about his reputation, so he wanted to let Nie Tian go.
However, it now seemed that Anye Mingya was a man of principle who took his promises very seriously.
"Lord Sword Saint, this young man is someone that the person behind you wants. Are you really going to let him go?" Passing Night Laozu's eyes were extremely gloomy as he asked in a deep voice.
It was obvious that he wanted to use the person behind Anye Mingya to pressure him.
