While He Yiming was sizing up the peak powerhouse of the human path, Franklyn was also sizing him up.
At this moment, even conceited people like Jin Zhengzhan and Li Jiangfeng kept quiet out of fear.
In front of a peak powerhouse of the human path, even a Five Qi Great Venerable did not dare to disobey, let alone ordinary Venerables who had just advanced less than 10 years ago.
The surrounding air became oppressive. Only a powerhouse of this level could bring such a huge pressure to these Venerables.
Franklyn nodded slightly and said slowly, "You're not bad."
Although he did not name the person, everyone present knew very well who he was evaluating.
The Venerables from the West all showed strong jealousy on their faces. Even Glinton from the Dark Coalition's parliament was not spared.
In the Western world, there were only a handful of people who could receive such an evaluation from this powerhouse. Moreover, this person who could make him say this on their first meeting was even more unique.
For a moment, even Edwin muttered in his heart. Even if He Yiming was a Five Qi Great Venerable, this praise was too much.
He Yiming showed a wry smile on his face. Although the other party's tone revealed undisguised admiration, this powerhouse's mind had firmly locked onto him.
Anyone who was locked onto by the mind of a peak powerhouse of the human path would never find it interesting.
"Your Majesty Franklyn, do you also think that I'm a fake?" He Yiming smiled helplessly.
Franklyn had a kind smile on his face. He did not answer He Yiming's question. He only said, "In the East's Zhongjing City, you killed three Western powerhouses?"
The eyes of Edwin, Glinton, and the others suddenly became sharp. Of course, they had heard of that rumor. However, unlike the Easterners, they only half-believed it.
The three experts possessed great reputations in the western world. They believed that unless it was a peak expert of the human dao, it would be impossible for someone to keep all three of them here at the same time.
He Yiming hesitated for a moment. He frowned and said slowly, "I won't attack unless I'm attacked."
Similarly, he did not directly answer the Pope's question, but everyone immediately understood the meaning of his words.
Although Jin Zhanzheng and the others were familiar with He Yiming, they suddenly realized that this young man, who had risen like a comet, had become unfamiliar.
Before Franklyn appeared, Jin Zhanzheng and the others still spoke freely, showing the strength and unyielding spirit of a Venerable One.
However, when this ordinary-looking old man appeared, both the Eastern and Western Venerables fell silent.
He didn't have a suffocating aura, nor did he have a dignified aura that made people unable to resist. However, he was like an omnipresent light that shone on everyone's hearts, making them unable to muster the slightest will to resist.
This kind of power that could subdue people without fighting had even exceeded the realm of the human dao. It was infinitely close to the illusory divine dao in the legends.
Of course, in the current world, even if one's mind was powerful to this extent, it was still impossible for one's body to break through.
Although the gap between the peak of the human dao and the divine dao was only one step, no one could cross this hurdle.
Even so, everyone stood with their hands tied in front of this old man. They even had a feeling that if this old man wanted to take their lives, they wouldn't even have the courage to resist.
However, when they looked at He Yiming in front of them, they were incomparably shocked.
Before an expert who stood at the apex of the human dao, He Yiming remained neither servile nor overbearing. Moreover, he did not give off a presence of dispiritedness or despair. Instead, he radiated with a powerful fighting spirit that was brimming with vigor.
Fighting spirit …
He Yiming actually had the fighting spirit to fight against a peak expert of the human dao!
For some reason, no matter which side the Venerables were from, they all felt genuine admiration for this extremely young powerhouse.
However, they did not know that He Yiming had already fought against two peak experts of the human dao. Moreover, with the white horse's help, he had even forced one of them to flee.
As a result, although he was still fearful when he faced a powerhouse of this level for the third time, his fear and dread had faded by a lot.
Franklyn sighed gently and said, "If that's the case, you can stay."
These words came out of his mouth very smoothly, and the others also felt that it was a matter of course, as if this matter was supposed to be like this from the start.
He Yiming's heart shuddered. Even he himself had such a feeling.
Inexplicably, when the old man said this, he felt as if he was surrounded by some kind of power. Even his body felt like it could not stretch out.
He Yiming's eyes lit up. His essential Qi circulated inside his body and burst out all of a sudden. A forceful aura surged wildly from his body. He had not taken out his Five-element Ring, but a multicolored airflow kept spinning around it.
He Yiming stared at the old man in front of him and asked in a deep voice, "What technique is this?"
The old man could not help but laugh. "This is the power of sound. Doesn't your pet have the same power too?"
He Yiming's gaze turned towards Treasure Pig. The little fellow's eyes were also staring at the old man, faintly having a trace of fear.
He Yiming was not unfamiliar with this look. When he encountered the giant sea monster in the outer sea and Great Ancestor Yellow Spring in the past, Baozhu also had a similar look.
From this, it could be seen that the little fellow was certain that he was no match for the old man.
He Yiming took a deep breath and pointed in the direction of Jin Zhanfeng and the others. "He can stay, but can they leave?"
Franklyn still smiled and said, "They are here to participate in the East-West Martial Arts Exchange. It hasn't started yet, so of course, they can't leave."
He Yiming raised his eyes slightly and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to keep all of them here?"
There was a hint of disbelief in his voice. Jin Zhanfeng and the others came from different sects, including the Grand Divine Wind Palace of the Eastern Continent, the Blessed Enclave, the Northwest Heavenly Lake, and the Southern Border's Glazed Island.
It was undeniable that Franklyn was indeed the most powerful person in the world, but it would be unwise to detain the core Venerables of these sects at the same time.
Franklyn seemed to have seen through his thoughts. He slowly said, "Get someone to go out and inform them. Let the elders in their sects come and take them back."
The expressions of the Venerables from the East and the West changed slightly. Only then did they realize that the Divine Hall's Pope had not come to ensure the fairness of the battle. Instead, he had come to keep the new Venerables from the East.
As for his goal, it turned out that he wanted to lure the powerhouses who were of the same level as him here.
Not only did the Venerables from the East not think of this, but the Venerables from the West also did not expect this.
He Yiming's face darkened as he asked, "Your Majesty, do you plan to contend against the entire Eastern World by yourself?"
Franklyn smiled faintly and said, "This is a game, but you're not qualified to participate now."
Everyone muttered to themselves, 'Even Venerable Five Qi is not qualified to participate. Doesn't that mean that only those at the peak of the human path can participate?'
The True Qi in He Yiming's body surged.
From the beginning to the end, he was the only person who dared to release his essential Qi in front of the elder. Moreover, he vaguely had the power to contend with the elder as an equal.
Needless to say, all of this was based on the fact that Franklyn did not react at all.
"Your Majesty, are you going to break the rules that have been passed down for thousands of years?" He Yiming questioned sternly.
Franklyn sighed and said, "The one who's going to break the rules isn't me, but Bing Xiaotian."
He Yiming was slightly stunned. He initially thought that the elder would talk about him, but he did not expect the elder to change the topic to the Northern Border Ice Palace.
He Yiming's eyes lit up as he was struck with a sudden realization. He exclaimed, "The Ice Island … The thousand-year-old Ice Island. You're here for the thousand-year-old Ice Island!"
A look of admiration appeared in Franklyn's eyes. He spoke slowly like an old man, "You're right. The Ice Island is the common property of all the people at the peak of the human path on the Eastern and Western Continents, as well as everywhere else. It's the only key left behind by the divine seniors thousands of years ago that can open the door to the divine path. However, Bing Xiaotian wants to shut us out and monopolize the Ice Island. " The elder paused for a moment. His eyes were calm and steady, and his tone did not fluctuate too much. It was as if he was not talking about the peak of the human path, but about trivial things that happened in the neighborhood. "The rules that have been passed down for thousands of years cannot be broken, no matter who it is."
Jin Zhanzheng and the others looked at each other. Just as the elder had said, this matter was not something that they could participate in.
Nevertheless, they understood that the thousand-year-old Ice Island was probably the only thing that could make the elder stay away from the Western world.
He Yiming nodded slightly. He cursed in his heart. It was all because of Bing Xiaotian and the other old men. In the end, they had to bear the consequences.
Franklyn had come to Nanjiang to stay behind because he had no other choice. He did not go directly to Beijiang's Ice Palace. Instead, he created trouble here to give both sides a chance to solve the problem. However, the unfortunate thing was that he was actually implicated in this matter.
With a deep sigh, He Yiming's eyes gradually became resolute.
"Your Highness, I'm sorry. He is not willing to stay."
His voice became louder and louder. It was as if thunder had exploded in the center of the island.
