Chapter 226 A Catastrophe That Happens Every Hundred Years

The mysterious Elder Universe was probably the only person in the prefecture who could occupy a huge area of land for a vegetable farm.

Most of the people on the farm were ordinary people, whereas people from different forces dared not extend their forces into that area.

Ou Yangming hastened to the vegetable farm. Just as he was looking for someone to inform the elder of his arrival, the faces of the people who saw him changed, and they immediately fled.

‘Do I look that scary?’ Ou Yangming was puzzled as he touched his face.

Since he could not find anyone to deliver the message, and he did not want to waste time outside, he stomped his foot and entered the farm without permission.

As soon as Ou Yangming stepped into the courtyard, he sensed unusual energy brus.h.i.+ng past him. It was a mental power scan, which was automatically activated as though he had touched a switch when he entered.

Ou Yangming furrowed his eyebrows because he sensed a familiar feeling from the power.

It was not that he was familiar with the mental power’s source; he was familiar with its operation mode.

The Runes Secret Technique.

It was definitely an operation mode for the Runes Secret Technique.

Ou Yangming was struck with a thought, ‘Could Elder Universe be a great Runes Master

too?”

“Hmph, why have you come?” A familiar voice was heard as Elder Universe had unknowingly appeared near Ou Yangming.

Ou Yangming s.h.i.+vered a little because he did not realize how the elder had appeared.

Needless to say, had he already been on guard and entered the integration of Heaven and man, as well as the thoroughly meticulous state, he certainly would have noticed. Nonetheless, Ou Yangming did not do that recklessly because it would mean that he was challenging Elder Universe’s authority.

The young fellow took a deep breath and greeted, “Greetings, senior.”

“You’re excused.” Elder Universe looked at him in confusion and asked, “Why did you come here by yourself? You’re not here to set a fire, are you?”

“It looks like the elder regards me as an arsonist.’ Ou Yangming’s face darkened a bit. Nevertheless, when he recalled the previous incident, he felt like he had brought this upon himself.

Ou Yangming cleared his throat. “Elder Sister Ying is in isolated cultivation with her elder, so I came here alone.”

Elder Universe studied him for a while and said, “Young fella, did that little girl tell you that you can’t come in here as you wish? Heh, the last person who came in was a young fella in Extreme Grade. Do you know how he ended?”

‘A young fella in Extreme Grade?’ Ou Yangming was stunned.

He smiled bitterly. “Senior, I initially wanted to ask someone to inform you of my arrival, but they fled far away the moment they saw me. I can’t force them, so I could only enter without permission. Please forgive me, senior.”

Elder Universe scoffed. “When you set the fire back then, you made it look like a devil had reincarnated, so it’s natural that the ordinary people became afraid of you.” ‘If you recruited a few martial artists, the awkward situation wouldn’t have happened,’ Ou Yangming cursed while he forced a smile. Out of curiosity, he questioned, “Senior, what should the other people do if they can’t make their presence known?”

“Of course they’ll have to wait outside.” Elder Universe rolled his eyes.

“How long do they have to wait?”

“It depends on my mood. If I’m not in a good mood, they’ll have to wait forever,” Elder Universe answered casually.

‘Is that appropriate?’ Ou Yangming twitched his mouth. Despite that, when he thought about how the elder referred to a Supreme Great Ancestor as a young fella in Extreme Grade, it seemed like everything else did not matter.

Elder Universe waved his hand. “Forget it, forget it. You’re as dumb as a cow, I wonder what the little girl sees in you. Hmph, what do you have to say? Tell me quickly and get lost after that!” Ou Yangming instantly curbed his thought and asked, “Senior, I’d like to ask—what does ‘the man possesses Iron Blood Loyal Heart while the lady sacrifices for a n.o.ble cause’ mean?”

“What’?” Elder Universe tensed up abruptly, and his eyes looked fierce at that moment.

A mighty and irresistible power spread in the void at that instant. It was Elder Universe’s aura, which was as heavy as a mountain, and it was spreading far and wide without being restrained at all.

Ou Yangming quivered and subconsciously entered the state of the integration of Heaven and man.

Inside his spiritual world, he somewhat sensed a wall.

It was a wall gathered from one’s aura. Not even the slightest gap could be found on the wall, and it was incredibly terrifying because it was about to crush him.

Ou Yangming’s face changed, and he identified right away that he would not end well if he fought the aura rashly.
