Chapter 331: Late Awareness
Nine Provinces Continent, Ming Province, in the holy city.
Ying Clan, Elder Hall.
“What’s going on? Why can’t we contact Patriarch?”
A Ying expert paced the hall anxiously.
“Could the patriarch have been attacked?”
“Impossible. With Patriarch’s strength, unless that City Lord personally makes a move, who can do anything to him?”
Someone immediately retorted.
“Uh… that’s true.”
“…”
“Elders, Patriarch is back!”
At this moment, a guard stood outside the door and reported.
“Hahahaha, I knew that Patriarch would be fine!”
“Tch, that’s not what you said just now.”
“Quick, where is Patriarch?”
“…”
Without any time to think, everyone hurriedly went out to welcome him.
It had to be known that to the current Ying Clan, Ying Shan was an existence that held up the sky. If anything happened to him, the entire Ying Clan might be destroyed. How could everyone not be happy when they learned that Ying Shan was fine?
Not long after, Ying Shan was welcomed by many Ying Clan experts to the Elder Hall.
“Patriarch, what’s going on? Why haven’t I been able to contact you these past few days?” The First Elder asked.
“It’s nothing. I encountered some accidents when I left Blue Essence City.”
Changing the topic, Ying Shan ordered, “Pass down the order. Prepare to gather our forces. We will attack the Hua Province tomorrow and head straight for the Black Fiend Pavilion.”
“Attack the Hua Province?”
The First Elder was stunned. “Didn’t you go to negotiate?”
In the First Elder’s opinion, with the appearance of that City Lord, he should have forcefully stopped the war. Why would he allow them to continue fighting?
“I did. However, Zhu Huang is dead now.”
Ying Shan did not continue, but everyone present were all old monsters that had lived for tens of thousands of years. How could they not understand what this meant?
Just like the Ying Clan, Zhu Huang was the pillar supporting the Black Fiend Pavilion. In other words, Zhu Huang’s death meant that the Black Fiend Pavilion was done for!
As the saying went, monkeys would scatter when the tree fell. Without a tenth realm Great Void Stage expert holding down the fort, would those former vassal forces still be willing to stand with the Black Fiend Pavilion?
Next, the Ying Clan would not need to wage a large-scale war at all to destroy the Black Fiend Pavilion!
“What? Zhu Huang is dead?”
The First Elder was shocked. “Are you serious?”
“Why would I lie to you?”
Ying Shan said indifferently, “I saw it with my own eyes. His soul was destroyed.”
In order to confirm that Zhu Huang had already died, Ying Shan specially went to look at the huge pit Qin Jue had made. Even Zhu Huang’s corpse had turned into mud and he was deader than dead.
“!!!”
Hearing this, the First Elder finally stopped doubting and roared with laughter. “Hahaha, that old thing is finally dead!”
It wasn’t just the First Elder. All the Ying Clan experts present revealed joyous expressions and were incomparably excited.
During the time they fought with the Black Fiend Pavilion, countless clan members had died. They had long been furious and wished they could tear the pavilion master of the Black Fiend Pavilion, Zhu Huang, into pieces. Now that Zhu Huang was dead, it was naturally great news for all of them.
“Did Patriarch kill him?” After calming down, the First Elder asked.
“No.”
Ying Shan shook his head.
First Elder was stunned. “Then was it City Lord Shen?”
“No.”
Ying Shan shook his head again.
“…”
If it wasn’t the patriarch or City Lord Shen, who could it be?
Was there anyone else in the Nine Provinces Continent who could kill Zhu Huang?
Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Just as Ying Shan was about to describe his encounter outside Blue Essence City in detail, a white figure suddenly rushed in from outside.
“Father!”
The white figure was extremely fast and pounced into Ying Shan’s arms.
“Mm? Why are you here?”
Ying Shan was surprised.
If Qin Jue were here, he would definitely recognize the white figure. It was the third miss of the Ying Clan, Ying Yue!
“I miss you.”
At this moment, Ying Yue no longer had the high and mighty appearance from before. She was more like a girl who couldn’t help but act coquettishly after being away from her father for a long time. She was extremely cute.
“Hai, I really don’t know what to do with you.”
Ying Shan said helplessly, “Father has business to attend to. You should leave first.”
“No!”
Ying Yue’s face was grave as she said firmly, “Didn’t Father promise me that as long as I returned from this training, you would allow me to participate in the Elder Hall?”
“…”
Ying Shan pondered for a moment and was slightly stunned. He seemed to have said this before. He could only smile bitterly and say, “Alright, then you can sit beside me first.”
“Sure!”
Ying Yue nodded heavily and obeyed.
In the Ying Clan, the authority of the Elder Hall was only inferior to that of the patriarch, so almost every member of the clan wanted to join the Elder Hall and become a higher-up. Ying Yue was naturally no exception.
However, according to normal procedures, only those above the sixth realm of the Great Void Stage and who had contributed to the clan before were qualified to participate in the Elder Hall. However, Yin Yue received special treatment since her father was the patriarch.
Regarding this, the Ying Clan experts present chose to turn a blind eye and pretend not to see it.
Then, Ying Shan deliberated his words and spoke tirelessly.
In the beginning, Ying Yue didn’t think much of it, but when he heard Qin Jue and Killing Dao appear, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.
“Father, did the woman have a hoarse voice and was the man really handsome?” After hesitating for a moment, Ying Yue couldn’t help but ask.
Ying Shan was stunned. “You know them?”
“Yes, Ling Feng, Mo Cheng, and Yan Ji were all killed by that woman.”
Ying Yue didn’t hide anything and told him about her experience on the floating continent.
“…”
Ying Shan was stunned. He never expected that his daughter had actually come across Qin Jue and Killing Dao before!
Fortunately, he had always taught his daughter not to cause trouble. Otherwise, Ying Yue would have died with those three pieces of trash.
“Girl, you did well.” Ying Shan praised.
“Hehe, according to my speculation, that woman might have already reached the fifth realm of the Great Void Stage, so I didn’t dare to provoke her.”
“The fifth realm of the Great Void Stage?”
Ying Shan’s expression was strange as he said faintly, “Do you know how terrifying that woman is?”
Without waiting for Ying Yue to speak, Ying Shan continued, “She only used two moves to kill the two tenth realm Great Void Stage Pill Void Fiends!”
“As for that youth, he insta-killed Zhu Huang. This was even after he had devoured the spirit energy of the two Pill Void Fiends and forcefully advanced to the Half God Stage!”
“???”
Ying Yue could hardly believe her ears. Originally, she thought that the sixth realm of the Great Void Stage was already the limit of Killing Dao’s strength. She was shocked to find out that Killing Dao could even kill an expert at the tenth realm of the Great Void Stage!
Most importantly, that handsome youth without any spirit energy could instantly kill a Half God Stage expert!
Ying Yue was stunned. Only now did she realize what she had overlooked.
…
…
“Central Star Domain…”
Outside the Nine Provinces Continent, Qin Jue spread out the ancient map and carefully searched for the exact location of the Central Star Domain. Sure enough, Ying Shan had made many detailed markings on the map.
It had to be said that with the strength of Ying Shan, it was simply a miracle for him to successfully arrive at the Central Star Domain and return alive.
“Yes.”
Qin Jue’s pupils constricted as he quickly spread out his spirit sense without end!
