Chapter 1160: Zhao Qianhe
The elder's sudden appearance, as well as the young man coughing up blood, caused everyone's expressions to shift dramatically.
The situation had instantly reversed.
The elder was obviously a member of the Xiao Family, and judging from his aura, he was far stronger than an earth supreme.
"Hah ….."
Ye Zichen, who was still seated, laughed. He looked up calmly at the man in the crack, then his gaze landed on Chen Chenghe and the others.
Chen Chenghe and Senior Brother Huang of the Yellow Wind Sect were as pale as paper.
Xiao Hu was nicknamed the Lightning Tiger.
He was the third elder of the Xiao Family's Punishment Hall and Xiao Zhan's master. He was also a supreme diviner expert.
Back then, before the Upper Three Realms were as harmonious as they were now, Xiao Hu was already famous far and wide. The battle that made him famous was during the Xiao Family's resistance against the yao. He'd single-handedly defeated a million enemy elites, killed three Earth Fiend Yao Divine Generals, and heavily injured several others.
After all these years, no one knew if he'd taken that final step and become a ruler.
"You're the leader of Upheaval?"
Xiao Hu's expression was cold, and as he spoke, the nine heavens rumbled.
"You dare collude with yao? You're truly unforgivable!"
His thunderous roar reverberated through the clouds. Instantly, Jiao Qi, Meng Huairong, and the yao in the Yao-Sealing Pagoda revealed pained expressions.
Ye Zichen and the others sensed nothing out of the ordinary. It was obvious that Xiao Hu was only targeting Jiao Qi and the other yao.
"Return to the Yao-Sealing Pagoda."
Given their strength as earth supremes, how could they possibly resist the pressure of a diviner? He transmitted to the yao in the Yao-Sealing Pagoda, then disappeared from their line of sight.
Everyone watched in astonishment as they disappeared. At that moment, Ye Zichen spoke up.
Ye Zichen spoke up, "Senior, may I ask why you're here?"
Xiao Hu furrowed his brows. He'd clearly locked onto Jiao Qi and the others, yet they'd disappeared right before his eyes. When they vanished, he'd used his divine sense to cover the entire mountain, but still hadn't found their location.
It was impossible for an Earth Sovereign to lose sight of him.
Of course, he wouldn't bring it up. He was a mighty half-step Sovereign Realm expert. If he let a few Earth Supreme Realm demons escape from under his nose, he would lose a lot of face.
"You're asking me … I'd like to ask you the same thing. Why did you seal my disciples' divine cores and bind them here?"
"They destroyed my city and wanted to destroy my sect. I captured them and prepared to kill them to pay respect to the souls in the city. "
"They are from the Xiao Family, my disciples," Xiao Hu said with a dark expression.
"So what?" Ye Zichen pursed his lips into a smile, then grabbed Xiao Zhan by the hair and lifted him up. "You beat up the young, and here comes the old. The Lightning Emperor's Xiao Family really does live up to their reputation."
A playful smile spread across Ye Zichen's face. When Chen Chenghe heard that Ye Zichen dared slander the Xiao Family, his gaze was filled with astonishment.
This was a deva, and most likely a Sovereign.
If the other party wanted to kill him, a single glance would be enough. Just where did he get the courage to mock him like this?
"You're seeking death!"
Up in the sky, Xiao Hu's expression was as dark as the abyss. He slammed his palms through the air and slammed them down on Ye Zichen.
His hands blotted out the sun and the sky. Everyone caught a whiff of death.
Ye Zichen was already preparing to open the Yao-Sealing Pagoda. He didn't care if the Divine Mountain bastards died or not, but he had to save Upheaval's members.
However, at that moment, not too far away from where Xiao Hu had slammed his palms down, a pale white hand appeared and smashed it to pieces.
All of a sudden, Xiao Hu looked in the direction where the palm had landed.
At the foot of the Northern Divine Mountain stood a beautiful middle-aged woman in a jade-green dress. Her skin was fair and her eyes were like peach blossoms.
"Zhao Qianhe, what's the meaning of this?"
Xiao Hu's brows furrowed into a frown when he called out the person's name.
The beautiful woman gently smiled, her fingers stroking her white and tender earlobes, her red lips slightly parted.
"Tiger Lei, this is the Northern Divine Mountain. Do you really think it's your Central Divine Mountain? How dare you act so rashly?"
"Can't you see that my Xiao Family is here?"
Zhao Qianhe's expression was as gentle as ever. She held a jade-green umbrella in her left hand as she stared at Xiao Hu from afar.
"I'm sorry, I can't see."
Xiao Hu's eyes flashed. Zhao Qianhe was intentionally making trouble for him.
"What on earth are you doing here?" asked Xiao Hu.
"Why do you care? This is the Northern Divine Mountain's territory. I can go wherever I want. Who are you to tell me what to do?" Said Zhao Qianhe disdainfully. "But if you dare cause trouble again, I don't mind teaching you a new lesson on behalf of the Lightning Emperor!"
Xiao Hu's expression instantly froze. Although the woman looked weak and delicate, she held a high position in the Sea of Innocence.
She was a third-stage ruler. Xiao Hu had no choice but to fear her.
Whoosh.
She dared speak to Tiger Lei like this? When the people below heard this, they exploded. In the entire God Realm, there were probably no more than a hundred people who dared speak to him like this.
The people below were all waiting for Tiger Lei's answer, but his response made everyone's jaws drop.
"Then if I don't do anything, will you just stand by and watch?"
Tiger Lei admitted defeat.
He was a mighty elder of the Lightning Emperor's Punishment Hall. Back in the day, he'd struck terror into the hearts of all yao.
"That depends on my mood."
"Boss, who's that?"
Wei Jie couldn't help but ask. Ever since Xiao Hu appeared, Ye Zichen had been acting especially confident. It was obvious he had someone backing him.
Now that Zhao Qianhe appeared, he was absolutely certain this was Ye Zichen's trump card.
If even Tiger Lei admitted defeat, Wei Jie couldn't help but want to know her identity.
"I'm not sure."
Ye Zichen shrugged. The only reason he was confident in front of Tiger Lei was because he had the Yao-Sealing Pagoda. Even if Tiger Lei wanted to kill them, he could bring them all to the Yao-Sealing Pagoda. He really didn't know who this woman was.
"If it's not convenient for you to say, then forget it."
Wei Jie shrugged. He was already completely certain this woman was Boss Ye's backer. It was just inconvenient for her to say it. However, now that he knew such a powerful figure stood behind Upheaval, Wei Jie felt more confident.
Ye Zichen couldn't be bothered to explain things to Wei Jie. He frowned at Zhao Qianhe, but at that moment, Xiao Hu suddenly spoke up.
"Kid, if you know what's good for you, you'll release my disciple."
"Why? I already said I'm going to kill them to honor their souls!" said Ye Zichen.
He'd had a bellyful of pent-up anger at Zhao Qianhe, but now a nobody like Ye Zichen dared provoke him? Xiao Hu felt like exploding!
"Alright, I'm standing right here. Kill them for me to see!"
"No problem."
Ye Zichen didn't hesitate at all. A longsword suddenly appeared in his hand. The blade flashed, and Xiao Zhan's head fell to the ground.
Blood spurted out half a meter into the air. Even as his head fell to the ground, his eyes were filled with confusion.
Perhaps even as he died, he was wondering why his master had come, but he'd still died.
The onlookers froze. Their minds had already gone blank. All they could see was the spurting blood and the head falling to the ground.
