Chapter 1140 The Prophecy (2)
Xing Yongnian frowned deeply and said. "To tell everyone the truth, I have no idea either."
His words immediately stunned everyone in the avenue.
Xing Yongnian said further. "It can be interpreted in many ways."
He glanced at the word "Heaven" and continued. "Heaven, in this sentence, could be the Divine Realm above us. And the word 'Beyond' might refer to ascension."
He took a deep breath and said with a serious expression. "I dare not confirm it, but from my point of view, it could mean the ascension is the only way out for us."
Silence blanketed the avenue as soon as his voice fell. If it was as Xing Yongnian said, it meant this world was destined to fall.
Thinking of this, the faces of those people from the second-rate forces immediately turned ashen. They might be powerful, but it was far away from ascending to the Divine Realm. Perhaps they couldn't achieve it in their lifetime… Wouldn't this mean they were doomed?
Du Xiaotian frowned deeply and suddenly said. "Do not panic, everyone… As Palace Master Xing said, this isn't the final verdict. It could also mean that there might be a helper from the Divine Realm coming."
His words were quite effective as everyone's mood gradually calmed down. That was right. Even Xing Yongnian, who performed the divination, didn't dare to confirm it. It could be other meanings, right?
Du Xiaotian looked at Yun Lintian and asked. "What do you think about this, Sect Master Yun?"
Everyone immediately turned to look at Yun Lintian. Although they didn't know why Du Xiaotian asked him for an opinion, since he could lead several powerhouses, it meant he was extremely extraordinary. Perhaps he could understand the prophecy.
Yun Lintian's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this. He glanced at the words "Beyond Heaven" in the sky for a while and turned to Xing Yongnian. "I heard that the founder of the Star Gazing Palace is still residing in your palace. Why doesn't Palace Master Xing invite his esteemed self out? I believe he must have an explanation for this."
Xing Yongnian's expression was calm, without a slightly fluctuating mood. He smiled and said. "Grand Ancestor has long been disregarding worldly affairs. I'm afraid Sect Master Yun's suggestion cannot be fulfilled."
"Really?" Yun Lintian responded instantly. A smile appeared on his face as he said further. "As far as I know, he had just sent his subordinate, Blue Demon, over to kill me a few months ago, and now you said he doesn't care about the worldly affairs?… Seriously, Palace Master Xing. Do you think everyone here is a fool?"
Hiss—
The crowds took cold breaths upon hearing this. Among them, there were some people who knew about this incident, and they couldn't help looking at Xing Yongnian thoughtfully.
However, Xing Yongnian's expression didn't change in the slightest. He replied calmly. "It's true that there's a grievance between Sect Master Yun and my Star Gazing Palace. However, I can tell you that it has nothing to do with Grand Ancestor."
"The one that planned everything is my youngest son, Xing Renshu. Since he met you last time and was defeated under your hands, he was unconvinced and wanted to seek revenge."
"I don't know what happened, but he went to see our Supreme Elder Xing Guiren and asked him for help. In the end, it was Elder Xing who committed a despicable crime against you."
He took a deep breath and said further. "You might not know this. Elder Xing has great authority in his hand. He can command Blue Demon at will."
Yun Lintian suddenly interrupted him. "There's no need to say further, Palace Master Xing. I already know that you have punished him. However, from what I know, your eldest son, Xing Chen, is behind all of this. Why are you insisting it is your youngest son? Could it be you feel that your eldest son is more useful than your youngest son, and you want to keep him?"
A cold glint flashed through Xing Yongnian's eyes briefly. Before coming here, he had prepared a sufficient method to deal with Yun Lintian if he were to ask this. However, he had underestimated Yun Lintian's boldness. This person didn't give him a face at all and directly confronted him in front of everyone here.
Seeing Xing Yongnian go silent, Yun Lintian said further. "Honestly, asides from the alliance, I come here to ask compensation from your Star Gazing Palace… My condition is simple. Just hand Xing Chen and Blue Demon over to me, and we can write off this grievance."
Yun Lintian's condition immediately stunned everyone in the avenue. They thought Yun Lintian was already bold enough to interrupt Xing Yongnian, but they were wrong. They still underestimated him.
Xing Yongnian's eyes narrowed slightly. "Isn't it too much, Sect Master Yun?"
"Too much?" Yun Lintian sneered. He glanced at Lin Xinyao and said. "If it wasn't for her, I would have died in Blue Demon and Xing Chen's hands long ago. Do you think it's too much to hand over the offenders?"
Without waiting for Xing Yongnian to respond, Yun Lintian said further as his aura gradually rose. "Of course, if you feel it will make your Star Gazing Palace lose face for handing them over, we can decide by force right here and right now. I have no problem with it."
As his voice fell, Long Jinwei, Long Ying, Qing Xiaoting, Nantian Xiulan, and Tao Kang immediately released their auras.
At the same time, the five Star Guardians beside Xing Yongnian immediately released their auras as well.
In that instant, the entire avenue was enveloped with terrifying pressure, making everyone difficult to breathe.
The two sides continued to stare at each other without backing down.
Seeing this scene, Du Xiaotian took a deep breath and said. "Please calm down, everyone. We both know this will lead to no benefit and give an advantage to the Poison Valley. Why don't we step back and solve the problem peacefully?"
However, Yun Lintian merely glanced at him and said. "You better shut up, old man. I haven't calculated the debts between us yet. Don't rush to repay it."
The crowds were numb by Yun Lintian's boldness already. They couldn't help looking toward Xing Yongnian and Du Xiaotian, waiting for their response.
