As he looked at the clear and boundless azure sky, the First Palace Master's face under the mask was filled with a solemn expression. His heart was also incomparably solemn. Just a moment ago, he had clearly sensed an extremely powerful aura sweep past his body. The strength of that aura caused him to have difficulty imagining exactly what level of expert the other party was.
At this moment, even Gu You, who was within Xiao Yan's body, had completely hidden his aura. Xiao Yan was only relying on the last threads of Dou Qi that he had squeezed out from his body to barely support himself in the sky.
"Cough cough …"
Xiao Yan coughed intensely. His eyes followed the direction that the First Hall Master was looking at. There was not even a single person in the vast sky. How could there be someone there?
However, just as Xiao Yan was about to question Gu You with a heart filled with doubt, he discovered that he had completely lost contact with Gu You. Gu You seemed to have suddenly disappeared into thin air, causing Xiao Yan to feel surprised.
Xiao Yan seemed to have thought of something when he once again looked at the sky. The expression on his face changed once again. It should be known that Gu You had never hidden his aura even when facing Old Luo's group. Today, however, he had decisively severed all contact with Xiao Yan. It was not difficult to imagine just what level of expert this person that the First Hall Master had mentioned was.
The First Hall Master's face was grave as he looked at the distant sky. Cold sweat involuntarily flowed down his forehead under the mask. The sweat followed his face and rolled down to his chin.
"Ghost Hall? Ha ha, what an arrogant aura. "
It was a long while later before a faint laughter was slowly emitted from the sky. The laughter was old and calm, and it did not contain the slightest emotion. However, the thing that caused the First Palace Master's expression to change was that the temperature around him had actually instantly dropped the moment this laughter sounded. It was so much so that he could clearly see some fine ice shards in his eyes.
Seeing this scene, even Xiao Yan involuntarily felt shocked, let alone the First Hall Master.
It was hard to imagine just how terrifying this mysterious person's strength was to be able to affect the temperature of the world with just a single sentence.
"Ghost Palace is handling matters. Unrelated people should not disturb us. Your Excellency, please leave, otherwise …"
Even though the First Palace Master knew that the other party was a super expert whose strength far exceeded his own, he still braced himself and spoke. The moment he opened his mouth, he brought up the Ghost Palace in front of him. He believed that with the Ghost Palace's reputation on the continent, anyone who knew about it would avoid it.
But …
"Hehe, otherwise what?"
Hearing that, the aged voice sounded once again. This time, the words that sounded were filled with sneer and disdain towards the Ghost Palace.
"You!"
Hearing this, the First Hall Master's face could not help but change slightly. He was just about to shout angrily, but when he thought of the other party's terrifying strength, he did not dare to say anything. Instead, after hesitating for a moment, he hardened his heart and opened his mouth again.
"Looks like you sincerely want to become enemies with my Ghost Palace!"
"Hmph, Ghost Palace when you open your mouth. Why? Do you really think that the entire continent belongs to your Ghost Palace?"
After the soft snort sounded, an invisible energy swiftly swept toward the First Hall Master. Before the First Hall Master could dodge, it violently landed on his chest.
"Grug!"
With a 'grug' sound, the First Hall Master suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. His feet staggered back over ten steps before he managed to stabilize his body. His face was filled with horror as he looked at the sky.
"I am the Ghost Palace Master. By injuring me today, you have something to do with the Ghost Palace …"
"Get lost! You are merely a branch hall master. What is there to be arrogant in your words? Forget about you, even if the true hall master of your Ghost Palace was here today, it would still be useless! "
Before the First Hall Master's voice sounded, the mysterious old man suddenly let out a cold snort. The invisible energy once again sent him flying ten thousand feet away.
"Grug!"
As his throat rolled, the face of the First Hall Master instantly turned swollen red. After which, a large mouthful of fresh blood was involuntarily spat out. After the fresh blood was spat out, the face of the First Hall Master under the mask swiftly turned ghastly white. His pair of shady old eyes were filled with horror.
Only at this moment did he truly see clearly that the words spoken by this mysterious expert were likely true. If he were to stubbornly insist on doing things his way and use the name of the Ghost Palace to force the latter back, it was likely that the latter would end up harming him.
"You …"
The First Hall Master inhaled a deep breath of air. It was a long while later before he once again opened his mouth. This time around, his tone lacked the arrogance from before. Over half of the turbulent black-colored fog around his body had also been withdrawn.
"Good, good, good. Your strength is extremely great and I am indeed speechless. I will remember today's matter. In the future …"
"You really speak a lot of nonsense. Get lost!"
The expression on the First Hall Master's face under the mask became slightly dull when he heard this. The muscles at the corner of his eyes twitched involuntarily. Even though fury rose in his heart, he did not dare to voice it out.
After all, up until this moment, this mysterious expert had yet to reveal himself. Even so, he was still able to injure him quite badly. It was not difficult to imagine just what kind of terrifying existence this mysterious person was.
The First Hall Master turned around unwillingly. His eyes revealed a reluctance to part as he looked at Xiao Jin, whose body was covered in blood and flesh. The greed deep within his eyes had yet to disappear. However, due to the person behind me, I only have the intention but not the guts.
The First Hall Master could clearly sense that there was a pair of sharp eyes staring at him from behind. He did not doubt that if he dared to have any thoughts about Xiao Jin by the side, the latter would mercilessly use just a gaze to kill him.
Unwillingly, the First Hall Master clenched his teeth. His gaze turned and instantly landed on Xiao Yan, who was floating in the air below.
From the First Hall Master's point of view, the reason why the mysterious expert valued Xiao Jin so much was perhaps because he had discovered that Xiao Jin's body was not ordinary. It was human nature to have a greedy heart. This was a reasonable explanation.
However, Xiao Yan was different. He was an ordinary human. There was nothing special about him. Moreover, he was only a five star Half Martial Emperor. He was not worthy of the attention of an expert. Since that was the case, the latter should not care too much if he wanted to take Xiao Jin away.
After descending, the First Hall Master was lifted up by Xiao Yan's hand as he struggled helplessly. The First Hall Master then turned around and cupped his hands towards the person behind him. He was about to leave. That mysterious expert did not seem to have any intention of stopping him. This caused the First Hall Master to inwardly sigh in relief.
However …
"Roar, roar, roar …"
Although that mysterious expert did not care, it did not mean that Xiao Jin did not care about Xiao Yan. Seeing that Xiao Yan was about to be taken away, Xiao Jin, who was already heavily injured, started to struggle violently once again.
Xiao Jin's injured body forcibly turned around and rushed towards the First Hall Master.
Unfortunately, Xiao Jin's injuries were not shallow. After struggling for a long time, he could only add to his injuries and was unable to save Xiao Yan.
"This bastard, he truly deserves to die!"
Seeing that Xiao Jin had started to struggle again, the First Hall Master's heart could not help but tighten. He cursed in his heart and wanted to quickly leave with Xiao Yan.
"Stop!"
The First Hall Master let out a soft cry. Even though his heart wished that he could ignore Xiao Yan, turn around, and flee, he still helplessly stopped. He slowly turned his body around. His hand, which was holding Xiao Yan, was unwilling to relax even a little.
"This old man does not wish to say anymore. You should understand what I mean."
The aged voice was still very calm. However, within this calmness, there was an additional meaning that did not allow for any rebuttal.
"Eh … haha, I do not know what you mean by these words …"
"Swoosh!"
Before his voice sounded, an incomparably sharp rushing wind sound suddenly sounded in the sky. A Dou Qi pillar in the empty air violently shot toward the First Hall Master with lightning-like momentum.
Although this attack appeared ordinary, the First Hall Master's expression suddenly changed drastically the moment the sound was transmitted over. It was likely that he would not be able to block this attack even if he were to put everything he had on the line!
"This junior understands. I will release him now. I will take my leave!"
The First Hall Master released his hand and turned around to flee. The mask on his face had also fallen because of his momentary fear, revealing an old face that was filled with wrinkles under the mask. However, at this moment, this old face was filled with fear.
"Chi!"
The instant the First Hall Master turned around, the Dou Qi pillar also brushed close to his left face and swiftly flew past.
The sharp wind tore half of his face into a bloody mess, revealing his high cheekbones under his skin. Even half of his eyeballs were exposed to the air. At the same time, his left ear and the skin around it were also torn apart.
"Ah!!!"
The intense pain had nearly covered his consciousness. However, in the end, the First Hall Master still forcefully endured and swiftly fled from this place.
It was only at this moment that Xiao Yan finally sighed in relief. Soon after, however, the expression on his face became even more solemn.
First, he had finished off the fox. At this moment, he had sent away the tiger. At this moment, there was still an even more ferocious lion in front of him. If he did not handle this properly, it was likely that Xiao Yan would be similarly in danger!
Before knowing the true intention of the other party, one should not easily believe anything. After all, this was human nature. Only benefits would be the reason why they would act. Otherwise, who would care about the life and death of a five star Half Emperor?
