Right at that moment, an apologetic voice sounded. "Celestial Emperor, you've come from afar. Please forgive us for not taking care of you properly."
In the next moment, another black-robed figure walked out from the sky.
Unlike the Chang Clan's Saints, this person had an extremely strange image embroidered on his chest.
That image was something that no one in the Nine Provinces would be unfamiliar with.
The reason for that was because that image represented the Soul Devouring Ghost Sect that had been the overlord of the Nine Provinces for over ten thousand years.
"Never would I have imagined that even an expert from the Soul Devouring Ghost Sect would come. It would appear that we won't be able to fight."
The crowd could not help but feel apprehensive when they saw who had arrived.
However, they soon recalled what that expert from the Soul Devouring Ghost Sect had said earlier.
Celestial Emperor?
Who was the Celestial Emperor?
Could it be that there were still Celestial Emperors in this world?
The crowd was puzzled.
That expert from the Soul Devouring Ghost Sect slowly walked over to Xiao Hei and said respectfully, "Peng Ancestor has arrived. Please forgive us for not welcoming you from afar. Peng Ancestor, please calm your anger."
Xiao Hei merely glanced at him indifferently and ignored him. He turned to the Chang Clan's group and said, "If you don't want to apologize, prepare your coffins."
Hearing those words, the expressions of the Chang Clan's group changed. They had originally thought that they would be fine with the arrival of the Soul Devouring Ghost Sect's expert.
Who would've thought that the Monstrous Race's Quasi-emperor before them would be so tyrannical?
If they did not apologize, they would die.
One must know that one had to look at the master before beating a dog.
Although the Soul Devouring Ghost Sect's expert did not say it explicitly, he had clearly lowered his stance. Yet, he was still so unforgiving.
He was not giving the Soul Devouring Ghost Sect any face at all.
Even a Quasi-emperor could not be this arrogant.
The expressions of the Chang Clan's Clan Master and the Saints of the Chang Clan all turned extremely ugly. Was apologizing that easy? Of course it was easy for ordinary people. It was nothing more than a matter of putting down their face.
However, to them, face was one of the most important things. They were truly unwilling to put it down just like that.
The Soul Devouring Ghost Sect's expert clearly did not expect Xiao Hei's attitude to be so unyielding. Even though he had arrived and expressed his apology, he still had no intention of letting the Chang Clan off.
Wasn't this a little too disrespectful?
Of course, while they were feeling displeased in their hearts, those emotions only lasted for an instant. On the surface, the experts from the Soul Devouring Ghost Sect still had amiable appearances.
There was nothing they could do. Someone in the Soul Devouring Ghost Sect had issued a death order. No matter what method they had to use, they had to make Lin Tian stay and invite him to the gates of hell.
Moreover, Xiao Hei's strength had somewhat exceeded their expectations. He had actually reached the Quasi-emperor realm and not the Divine Ancestor realm as they had expected.
Even in the entire Nine Provinces, this level of strength would make it an absolute top-notch expert. In addition, it and the people around it had the right to be so arrogant.
Seeing the Chang Family's Family Head looking at them, the experts from the Soul Devouring Ghost Sect naturally knew what he was thinking.
They just wanted him to stand up for them.
Unfortunately, at this time, even he could not easily offend Lin Tian and the others.
"Family Head Chang, you were indeed in the wrong in this matter. Apologize," the Soul Devouring Ghost Sect's expert could not help but sigh.
Hearing those words, the expressions of the Chang Family's Family Head and the others changed once again. They looked at the Soul Devouring Ghost Sect's expert in disbelief. Never had they imagined that this existence, who possessed a status that allowed him to do as he pleased in the Nine Provinces, would actually back down time and time again.
It was not only the Chang Family. Everyone in Fengdu City was shocked by this scene.
One must know that, with his status as an expert from the Soul Devouring Ghost Sect, there was absolutely no need for him to fear Xiao Hei.
Even if Xiao Hei was a Quasi-emperor, it would still be the same.
After all, who did not know that the Soul Devouring Ghost Sect was now fully deserving of being one of the strongest forces in the world?
Even if the Soul Devouring Ghost Emperor was no longer present, those generals that had once fought alongside the Heavenly Emperor had most likely not all died yet.
The foundation that they possessed could be said to be sufficient to make any force in the world fear them.
Not to mention a Quasi-emperor like Xiao Hei, even if another Quasi-emperor were to appear, their Soul Devouring Ghost Sect should still be completely fearless in the Ghost Province.
Yet now, the Soul Devouring Ghost Sect's expert had changed from his usual domineering attitude and was backing down time and time again in front of Xiao Hei.
Furthermore, he even wanted the Chang Family's Family Head and the others to apologize to him.
This caused many people in Fengdu City to be unable to understand what was going on.
However, soon, someone seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly raised his head and exclaimed, "I know who they are!"
"Who are they?"
Someone beside him asked out of curiosity.
The person who spoke was from the Divine Prefecture. He looked at Xiao Hei in the sky with a blazing gaze and said somewhat excitedly, "They are the reincarnations of the Sky Devouring Roc Ancestor and the Heavenly Emperor of All Spirits, whose names have now spread throughout the Divine Prefecture."
A Quasi-emperor level Demonic Roc and someone called the Heavenly Emperor together. If this combination was not them, who else could it be?
"The Sky Devouring Roc Ancestor? The Heavenly Emperor of All Spirits? "
Hearing these two names, everyone could not help but be stunned for a moment. The experts who came from places far away from the Divine Prefecture might still be unfamiliar with these two names.
However, the experts of the Demon Province and the Ghost Province, which were neighboring the Divine Prefecture, were much more familiar with them.
"It's them," many people looked at Lin Tian and Xiao Hei in surprise and uncertainty. Clearly, they had already heard of their famous names.
In fact, this was not surprising.
After all, before coming to the Ghost Province, Lin Tian and Xiao Hei had once set off a storm of blood in the Divine Prefecture.
A wooden coffin buried Chang Qing. This sentence had now spread throughout the Divine Prefecture.
After the fall of the Chang Qing Ancestor, the destruction of the Qiu Clan added fuel to the fire of Xiao Hei and Lin Tian's ferocity.
In the current Nine States, not to mention Saints, even Sages rarely fell. It was very difficult for them to fall.
However, in just a few days, a Saint Ancestor and a Saint Clan disappeared from the world just like that.
How could the world not be shocked?
Lin Tian and Xiao Hei's names naturally spread far and wide.
"If it's them, then everything that happened today can be explained," someone could not help but sigh and shake his head.
He naturally knew about the fierce reputation of Lin Tian and Xiao Hei.
These two people could even kill a Saint Ancestor without hesitation. Why would they care about the Soul Devouring Ghost Sect?
Most importantly, the Sky-devouring Roc Ancestor was rumored to be in the Saint Ancestor Realm at that time. Now, he had broken through to the Quasi-emperor Realm.
With such strength, not to mention other things, there was no problem for him to do as he pleased in the land of the Nine States.
At least, there were probably only a few people in the world who could make him stay.
As long as he did not die and protected Lin Tian, the Soul Devouring Ghost Sect was actually not a big deal.
After all, no matter how strong the Soul Devouring Ghost Sect was, they were only a force of Heavenly Emperors. On the other hand, Lin Tian himself was a Heavenly Emperor.
Why would they be afraid of the Soul Devouring Ghost Sect?
The reason why the experts of the Soul Devouring Ghost Sect retreated again and again was probably because they had thought of this point. They did not want their relationship with Lin Tian and Xiao Hei to be too strained.
After all, people who could see the future were not to be offended. If they were not careful, they might even destroy the foundation that the Soul Devouring Ghost Emperor had built over thousands of years.
