The Old Beggar
"Senior."
Yun Ting's tone darkened. Given his strength as an immortal king, it wasn't easy for him to respectfully address the old beggar as "senior."
But despite his kind words, the old beggar didn't appreciate it at all. Instead, he pushed his luck.
"I hope you won't make a mistake."
He really couldn't figure out the old beggar's limits. Suppressing his anger, Yun Ting tried his best to dissuade him. However, after crossing the line, the old beggar didn't even look at him. Instead, he continued to drink from his gourd.
Creak.
He clenched his fists.
Yun Ting could no longer endure such disregard. Not to mention, the old beggar had so many subordinates behind him. If he continued to cower like this, he'd likely lose all his dignity in the sect.
The old beggar truly did give him a frightening feeling, but ….
He was an immortal king!
Boom!
Boundless spiritual pressure radiated from his body. Sensing the surging spiritual pressure, the old beggar arched an eyebrow and glanced at Yun Ting.
However, he only glanced at him for a moment before looking back down and continuing to drink.
This truly provoked Yun Ting. He didn't hold back any longer, gathering spiritual energy into his fist.
"Punch of Destruction."
This punch seemed capable of ripping apart the heavens. Wherever it passed, the air twisted and warped.
The members of the Hall of Slaughter grew even more excited by the spiritual pressure. Quite a few of them could already imagine the old beggar's fate.
In particular, the Hall of Slaughter who'd berated the old beggar at the start snorted.
"Show off, then. You won't even know how you died."
But what they couldn't believe was that the old beggar had effortlessly caught the Punch of Destruction, which seemed capable of shattering heaven and earth.
This was especially true for his carefree expression, which caused the members of the Hall of Slaughter to reveal expressions of astonishment.
"I said anyone who crossed the line would die. Why didn't you listen? Forget it, it seems you're still useful, so I won't kill you. "
The old beggar snorted coolly. With a wave of his hand, he tossed the immortal king Yun Ting to the ground and made him his cushion. Then he turned to the other members of the Hall of Slaughter and snorted.
"What are you waiting for?"
Even the Immortal King Yun Ting had been easily subdued by this old beggar. How could they, mere Sky Immortals and Human Immortals, dare to provoke him?
In the blink of an eye, the members of the Hall of Slaughter fled in panic, afraid that they would die at the old beggar's hands if they were too slow.
"He's a good seedling, but he doesn't learn well. Of all the sects you could've provoked, you had to provoke the Hundred Flowers Gate. Who gave you the courage? "
With that, the old beggar turned his head and spoke into the sky.
"Come out."
Before long, two middle-aged men descended from the sky. They'd personally witnessed the old beggar subdue Immortal King Yun Ting with a wave of his hand.
Subduing an early-stage Immortal King with a wave of his hand. What kind of strength was that?
Could it be that this old man was a consummate stage Immortal King?
When they thought of this, the pressure on the two middle-aged men multiplied. They respectfully walked over to the old beggar's side and bowed.
"Senior."
"Yes."
The old beggar's reaction was very cold, which made the two middle-aged men complain incessantly. However, they didn't dare to be too obvious and could only stand aside with their heads lowered.
"You … are from the Hundred Flowers Gate?"
"Yes."
"That's perfect. This person seems to be the leader of the Hall of Slaughter. I've already sealed his spiritual sea. Take him back. As for how you deal with him, that's up to you. "
He kicked Yun Ting over to the two middle-aged men. By the time they came to their senses, the old beggar was nowhere to be seen. The two middle-aged men glanced at each other, seeing the shock in each other's eyes. Then, their gazes fell on Yun Ting.
They reached out and picked him up, then disappeared from the ancient path.
In the Hundred Flowers Gate's front hall, Li Jiayi's mind was in turmoil when she heard that Yun Ting had broken through to immortal king. She'd been at the peak of the sky immortal realm for more than ten years, but even after all this time, she still hadn't managed to pry into the path of immortal king.
The Hall of Slaughter was preparing to attack the Hundred Flowers Gate, and Yun Ting had broken through to immortal king. The atmosphere was tense.
But who would've guessed ….
"You said a senior took action? With a wave of his hand, he captured Yun Ting? "
If it weren't for the fact that the head of the Hall of Slaughter had appeared in the main hall, Li Jiayi wouldn't have dared believe that the scout she'd sent out was telling the truth.
Her gaze fell on Yun Ting. His hair was disheveled and his face filthy. He was tied up and kneeling on the ground. His expression was one of unwillingness.
Just now, Li Jiayi had probed Yun Ting's spiritual sea. His spiritual sea was several times larger than a sky immortal's. From this, it was clear that he'd broken through to immortal king.
After all, Yun Ting was only forty years old, yet he'd already begun prying into the path of immortal kings.
Li Jiayi's heart ached, but at the same time, she was filled with suspicion.
Even a peak immortal king would find it difficult to suppress an immortal king with a wave of his hand, not to mention Yun Ting's Slaughter Arts, a battle technique with incredible destructive power.
There was no such expert in the entire Immortal Region.
Could it be that an expert from the three sacred lands or the Beast Region had come to his aid?
"Did you get a good look at that senior's face?"
Li Jiayi frowned at the two middle-aged men. She wasn't an ungrateful person. If she knew who that senior was, she'd definitely pay him a visit and thank him.
"This ….."
One of them revealed a troubled expression. In that kind of situation, he wouldn't dare look at that senior's face even if he was given eighty times the courage.
The person with him, on the other hand, took out a jade slip from his pocket.
"We recorded this while we were hiding in the clouds. That senior should be inside."
Li Jiayi took the jade slip and probed it with her spiritual awareness. When she saw the old beggar's face, she froze in place, shock written all over her face.
"Jiayi, we're here."
At that moment, Zuo Mo of the Treasure Tower and Xue Qi of the Leisure House arrived. When they saw Yun Ting tied up on the ground, they couldn't help but freeze.
"He's here? Didn't they say he was already an immortal king? Did you break through as well, Jiayi? "
Li Jiayi shook her head, then repeated what the two middle-aged men had said. Zuo Mo furrowed her brows.
"Senior, he tied Yun Ting up with a wave of his hand? Does someone like that exist in the Immortal Region? Or did the sacred lands intervene? "
"I thought about it before, but they showed me this," Li Jiayi tossed the jade slip to Zuo Mo.
Then, she said, "That senior is inside. Take a look … I think … I think … never mind, take a look first."
Zuo Mo was rather surprised by Li Jiayi's reaction. She didn't hesitate and probed the jade slip with her spiritual awareness.
The jade slip flew out of her hand, then she saw Zuo Mo grab Li Jiayi's shoulder and ask nervously, "That senior is inside.
Zuo Mo immediately grabbed Li Jiayi's shoulder and asked nervously, "Where is he? Where is he?!"
"On the ancient path outside Hundred Flowers City."
"The ancient path outside Hundred Flowers City."
"I'll go find him." Zuo Mo turned around, but Li Jiayi stopped her. "Don't go. He already left when I handed him over to my people. But are you sure it's him? H-isn't he supposed to be in your clan's ancestral hall? "
"Then do you think it's him?" Zuo Mo asked.
"I …" Li Jiayi hesitated, then bit her lip and said, "I think it's him. Even though I didn't see his face clearly, I just think it's him!"
Li Jiayi's expression was filled with indescribable certainty. Zuo Mo's eyes actually reddened when she heard those words. However, a beautiful smile rippled on her face.
