Who was Luo Hou?
He was known as the Demon Ancestor and one of the Chaos Demon Gods. If he allowed Ye Xuan to personally kill Wutian in front of him, he would lose all face.
"If I want to kill someone, no one can survive. Even you, Luo Hou, can't protect me."
Ye Xuan whispered hoarsely. He didn't move, but a bloody light flashed across his eyes. However, what happened next made Luo Hou's expression change. He looked at Ye Xuan with a cold gaze.
Bang!
"Ah!"
With a loud sound, the Bloodsoul Thread that had been planted on Wutian's body was activated. Wutian's entire body exploded into a cloud of blood mist. Even his own soul was not left behind.
Silence, silence, extreme silence.
Luo Hou was expressionless. Only wisps of demonic light rippled out. He looked coldly at Ye Xuan. His ten fingers were slightly clenched, and a murderous aura flashed in his eyes.
Everyone could feel that a great battle between Luo Hou and Ye Xuan was about to break out. The members of the Celestial Court glared at Luo Hou. Wisps of terrifying murderous intent filled the air, faintly surrounding Luo Hou.
"Haha!"
Suddenly, the coldness on Luo Hou's face disappeared. He once again recovered his smile. Where was the slightest anger and murderous intent?
"He's just a mere disciple. If Fellow Daoist Ye wants to kill him, then so be it. Even if Fellow Daoist Ye doesn't kill him today, this ancestor will still make him die without a burial ground," Luo Hou said bitterly.
Vicious, ruthless, and extremely shrewd.
These words fully explained Luo Hou's character. His own disciple being killed by Ye Xuan did not arouse his anger. On the contrary, he was talking to Ye Xuan with a smile. Just based on this point alone, the members of the Celestial Court looked at each other in astonishment.
Everyone thought that Luo Hou would fly into a rage. It must be known that Ye Xuan killing his disciple was a slap to his face. If he endured it, it would be a great humiliation.
However, no one had expected that Luo Hou actually didn't flare up and had instead restrained himself. This simply caused everyone to be surprised and bewildered, and they were completely unable to figure out what Luo Hou intended to do.
Not only were the members of the Celestial Court bewildered, but Ye Xuan also frowned. He didn't think that Luo Hou would be so patient. Even at this moment, he was still so calm.
Logically speaking, Luo Hou was known as the Ancestor of All Demons. All the Demon Cultivators in this world respected him. He was also one of the Chaos Demon Gods. Whether it was status or cultivation, he was not inferior to Ye Xuan in the slightest. The other party had no reason to endure him.
However, Luo Hou endured it and even lowered his posture. He didn't care about his face at all. His approach made Ye Xuan feel as if he had punched the air.
To put it bluntly, Ye Xuan wanted to tear apart this window paper. It was simpler than anything else to directly attack. He could also test the difference in cultivation between him and Luo Hou.
"Hmph, I thought that the Demon Ancestor was so great. It turns out that he's also afraid of the Celestial Court's power."
"Sigh, you're wrong. Now that the Celestial Court is established, even the Saints don't dare to provoke them. This Demon Ancestor naturally doesn't want to make an enemy of Ye Tiandi."
"He's just a person who doesn't live up to his reputation. It seems that no one in this world can keep Ye Tiandi in check."
The eight orthodoxies and Quasi-Sages were all whispering to each other. Although they tried to keep their voices low, everyone present was not weak. Naturally, they all heard what they were saying.
On the other hand, Luo Hou's expression did not change even though these people were secretly mocking him. He was still smiling at Ye Xuan.
What a terrifying person!
Ye Xuan's expression was calm, but he warned himself in his heart that the Demon Ancestor in front of him was not the greatest enemy he had encountered in the past. This kind of person did not even care about his face. This was what made him truly terrifying.
Throughout the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, those who became Saints and became Ancestors cared about their face the most. There was no exception. Even Ye Xuan was in this category.
However, Luo Hou was different. As the Demon Ancestor, he did not care about these things at all. This kind of person was capable of doing anything.
Scheming, ruthless, and merciless. Luo Hou possessed all the terrifying and unstable elements. He could not be taken lightly.
"Ye Daoyou, don't be angry. This Wutian is indeed my disciple, Sen Luotian. However, he betrayed his master long ago. Today's matter has nothing to do with me." Luo Hou sighed.
"Haha."
Ye Xuan laughed loudly and said, "It seems that I have misunderstood Fellow Daoist. Come, come, come. Fellow Daoist, please take a seat."
Ye Xuan cordially pulled Luo Hou to take a seat again. He did not mention anything about what happened just now. This allowed Luo Hou to sit side by side with Ye Xuan again. The smile on his face became even more brilliant.
Ye Xuan looked around at the members of the Celestial Court and pretended to reprimand them. "Why are you still not putting away your weapons? Do you want Fellow Daoist Luo Hou to see my Celestial Court as a joke?"
Following Ye Xuan's words, the members of the Celestial Court hurriedly put away their spirit weapons and returned to their seats. Taishang Laojun's face was pale. He knew that now was not the time to confess to Ye Xuan. He could only return to his seat and ponder about how to explain to Ye Xuan after this event.
"Ye Daoyou, I have something to say, but I don't know if it's appropriate." Luo Hou said.
"Oh?"
"Fellow Daoist and I feel like old friends at our first meeting. There's no harm in saying anything." Ye Xuan said gently.
"I see that Ziwei is simple and honest. Now that he's also a Sage-to-be, it's best for him to become the new Heavenly Saint. However, I'm an outsider after all. I can only express my own opinion." Luo Hou said sincerely.
"Celestial Emperor, it was disrespectful of me to question your decision just now. Now that I think about it, Ziwei Tian Di is the most suitable candidate to become the new Heavenly Saint." Taishang Laojun tried to interrupt, hoping to redeem his mistake.
"We're also willing to honor Ziwei Tian Di as the new Saint."
Ancestor Nether River and the others quickly stepped out and spoke to Ye Xuan. Apparently, they had finally realized that it was impossible for them, Sage-to-be, to become a Saint. Moreover, Ziwei was the candidate personally appointed by Ye Xuan. If they still persisted in going about things the wrong way, they would be truly stupid.
For a moment, everyone in the Celestial Court stood up and spoke. Ye Xuan was very calm. He looked directly at Ziwei, who was standing beside him, and said, "Brother, you've seen it. Now that you have everyone's support, quickly go and become a Saint."
"This …?"
Ziwei Tian Di was slightly hesitant. However, before he could speak, a gentle force pushed him up into the sky. This also woke Ziwei up instantly. He sighed softly in his heart.
Rumble!
The five-colored sacred stone rippled out again. Hong Meng Purple Qi floated above Ziwei's head. The scene of refining stones to mend the blue sky in the past reappeared between heaven and earth.
At this moment.
Ye Xuan sat upright on the Heavenly Platform. He looked up at the five-colored sacred stone in the sky. It was as if he could see the face of Sun Wukong. A bleak smile appeared on his face.
Brother, although I didn't use the five-colored sacred stone to become a Saint, I'll never forget what you've done for me. When I reverse the long river of time, I'll definitely go back to the past to prevent this tragedy from happening.
