Chapter 153: The Sudden Appearance of Lord Xiao Shijiu
The faint voice did not infuse much power, yet it floated out plainly, and everyone could hear it clearly.
Although the voice was calm, it was filled with a deep loneliness that penetrated the soul, along with a sense of boredom, as if facing hundreds of masters from the Ye Family yet still unable to muster any spirit.
Everyone suddenly awakened and hurriedly exited their tents, looking up.
Not far away, about fifty yards away, at the top of a large tree, a solitary figure stood with hands clasped behind his back, gazing at the sky, dressed in black, fluttering in the wind.
The impression he gave was that this person might soar away at any moment, returning to the vastness of heaven and earth.
"This senior is..." Among the Ye Clan, Ye Wutian, the fourth master, asked with a deep breath, "May I ask what business you have with our Ancestral Patriarch?"
The man in black looked up at the sky, his robe billowing slightly. Then he slowly lowered his head, gazing at Ye Wutian and deeply looked into his eyes.
As Ye Wutian's gaze met his, he suddenly felt that the other’s eyes transformed into the vast night sky, dotted with numerous stars. In that instant, he was dazzled, a sense of dizziness rising from deep within his soul. Though his body stood still, it felt as if his spirit was upside down.
Unable to control himself, Ye Wutian placed a hand on his forehead, tightly closed his eyes, and moaned, "Senior..."
He could no longer speak.
Everyone else looked at each other in shock.
Although Ye Wutian had only called out one title, everyone knew that this brief two-character address was truly a plea for mercy.
The one who was known for being lawless, Ye Wutian, actually became like this under the gaze of the other? Then how formidable must this person be? It was evident.
The man in black raised his head again, gazing at the bright moon in the sky with a hint of melancholy. After a long while, he softly said, "Ye Wangan, if you do not come out, I shall enter."
The voice was calm, but the underlying threat was evident.
If you do not come out, I will kill my way in! With your little manpower, it won’t be enough for me to make a round trip of slaughter! If you don’t want every member of the Ye Family to die here, then obediently come out!
Though these words were not spoken, every member of the Ye Family clearly felt their presence in their hearts!
At the same time, a hint of murderous intent floated in the air, gradually expanding. The killing intent was faint, almost imperceptible.
The man in black sighed lightly, a trace of helplessness showing.
Everyone sensed what this sigh meant: Ah, I still cannot control my killing intent; my cultivation level is still lacking...
Everyone was stunned in response.
Only those at the saint level or above could extinguish killing intent to invisibility. This man in black before them had managed to do so to a degree yet was still unsatisfied...
A voice from the Ye Family camp sounded heavy: "Such a decisive battle should have been between the younger generation to vent some frustrations, and us elders simply training... Yet, you Xiao Family unexpectedly dispatched a master like you?"
The tone of the voice revealed dissatisfaction. Clearly, they were blaming the Xiao Family for making a big fuss.
"Hehe... Us elders?" The man in black atop the tree let out a faint chuckle, "Ye Wangan, who are you calling... us elders?"
Ye Wangan's voice replied, "Isn't it us?"
The man in black fell silent for a moment. Then suddenly, he shouted with divine soul power: "Ye Wangan!"
With this shout, all the Ye Family experts suddenly felt an immense blood sea appear in their souls.
After this loud shout, a massive wave surged within the blood sea! The crimson blood color connected with the long sky and earth, leaving no other color.
Unable to help themselves, they all abruptly closed their eyes, their bodies swaying. For a long time, they did not dare to open their eyes, their faces filled with shock.
