The water of the Daytime Milky Way was boiling, as if trembling in fear.
Yet the most fearful at this moment were none other than the old man and the young man.
The old man was no ordinary figure. In the mysterious Sacred Valley, he was renowned, a great personage with both status and strength.
But in the face of the power that had sealed the Daytime Milky Way, even he had no ability to resist.
The old man felt he had gambled wrong.
This suddenly appearing power must belong to an existence protecting Chu Feng.
And the opponent was so powerful that he had no strength to fight back.
“This is your brilliant idea. You are going to get me killed.”
The old man looked at his disciple, his eyes filled with rage, the kind of gaze that wished to strangle his disciple alive.
If not for his disciple’s suggestion, he would never have chased Chu Feng, nor harboured crooked thoughts about the power on Chu Feng’s body.
But now, it was too late.
Chu Feng’s identity was indeed extraordinary. There was an unparalleled expert secretly protecting him.
Harbouring crooked thoughts towards Chu Feng was equivalent to committing a capital crime.
“I… I…”
The young man had lost all his previous arrogance and pride. He was so nervous he could not even speak. His fear was no less than his master’s.
Plop.
Suddenly, the young man knelt on the ground and then kowtowed upwards.
He had completely lost the arrogant,狂妄, and domineering aura of a strong expert he had before.
Now, he was merely a living being with a desperate desire to survive.
“My lord, we have no malice towards that genius. We were only joking.”
“If my master and disciple truly had malice towards him, we would not have let him leave.”
The young man desperately explained, and his humble attitude made it seem he was not lying.
But his master looked at this disappointing disciple and shook his head repeatedly.
What kind of person was the opponent? How could he be deceived by such a low-level lie?
It was over. The old man knew that today, he and his disciple were likely to perish here.
“If I had known this calamity was coming, I would not have pursued that fellow here.”
The old man sighed.
“Who are you pursuing?”
Suddenly, a deep voice came from the sky.
The voice had no discernible direction, as if it came from the entire void.
It was lofty, deep, resonant, and even carried a sacred aura, like a question from a god.
“A mysterious person. I do not know exactly who he is.”
“I only know he wears a red robe and a red bamboo hat, his face cannot be seen clearly, and his specific strength is unknown.”
“But this person specialises in slaughtering ancient races. Multiple ancient races have died by his hand.”
“My disciple and I were pursuing him only to find out why he is doing this.”
The old man did not hesitate at all and spilled everything he knew in one breath.
He had indeed lied to Chu Feng. He and his disciple were not just passing by.
They knew who had slaughtered this ancient race.
It was a man in a red robe.
They simply did not know where that person came from or why he was doing this.
“People of the Sacred Valley should stay properly in the Sacred Valley.”
“If you come out into the world, you will inevitably get involved in the struggles of contemporary martial cultivators.”
“As a reminder, that Chu Feng is not someone you can touch.”
“If you truly act against him, even if I spare you, that person will not.”
“If you anger that person, let alone you two, even your entire Sacred Valley will not have a single person left alive.”
The deep voice descended again, still sacred beyond compare. It pierced deep into the hearts of the master and disciple, with unparalleled shock value that made even their souls tremble.
But after the voice fell, it did not sound again.
Even the power sealing the master and disciple disappeared with it.
That being had very likely left.
The master and disciple looked at each other, somewhat in disbelief.
They had actually escaped death and survived the calamity?
Yes, escaped death. They both knew that if that being wanted to kill them, it would be a matter of mere thought.
The world of martial cultivators was just so miraculous. The difference in realm meant a world of difference in strength.
He and his disciple both possessed the power to make Chu Feng vanish into ashes with a thought.
But the being just now similarly possessed the power to make them both turn to ashes.
He could not determine what realm that being’s cultivation was.
But he knew the opponent’s strength was far above his own.
For such an existence, even whether the strongest Valley Lord of their Sacred Valley could contend with him, the old man was not certain.
But he was certain that, apart from the Valley Lord, counting everyone in their Sacred Valley, not a single person could contend with that being just now.
Yet what shocked him most was that the being had mentioned that person.
The implication was that the so-called that person was an even more terrifying existence, one who could easily make their Sacred Valley disappear from this world.
“Master, this disciple knows his mistake.”
Suddenly, a crying voice rang out.
It was his disciple.
This arrogant young man was now wailing loudly, kneeling before his master and kowtowing in admission of fault.
“Stop crying. What use is crying?”
The old man helped the young man up.
Although his eyes had been full of rage earlier, he actually cherished this disciple greatly.
“Now you know there are heavens beyond heaven and people beyond people?”
The old man asked the young man.
“I know. This disciple will never dare look down on others with dog eyes again.”
The young man said through snot and tears.
He was truly frightened. He knew they had been just a hair’s breadth from death. He and his master had picked up their lives.
“Alas, actually your master has also been taught a lesson.”
“We of the Sacred Valley have not emerged for a long time. We thought no one could rival us now.”
“Yet unexpectedly, as soon as we came out, we encountered that unfathomable red-robed person who specialises in killing ancient races.”
“We originally thought that red-robed person would threaten the status of our Sacred Valley.”
“If we eliminated him, our Sacred Valley would have no rivals.”
“Yet unexpectedly, today we encountered this kind of existence again.”
“Alas, it seems the current world of martial cultivation is far more terrifying than we imagined.”
“We still need to return and discuss properly with the Valley Lord.”
As the old man sighed, he flipped his palm, and a compass appeared in his hand.
This compass was very special, gleaming with golden light. At a glance, it was clearly an extraordinary treasure.
At this moment, the compass was pointing in one direction.
But after glancing at the compass, the old man put it away.
“Master, we are not pursuing anymore?”
The young man asked.
“No more pursuing. Return to the Sacred Valley.”
As the old man spoke, he soared into the sky.
The young man glanced in the direction Chu Feng had left before following his master and departing.
And that glance was filled with nothing but fear.
However, what the master and disciple did not know was that the existence which had filled them with fear had not left.
High in the void, deep in the ninth heaven, a pair of eyes was also gazing in the direction Chu Feng had gone.
“Kid, this is the last time I help you.”
“From now on, you will have to rely on yourself. Otherwise… it would go against your father’s wishes.”
