Chapter 787 – Then I’ll Take It By Force! (1/2)
A white robed old man and a black robed old man stood in midair high above Lunar Rite Hall.
The black robed old man frowned as he looked at Lunar Rite Hall that had been blasted apart. He said, “They’re all dead?”
The white robed old man grunted coldly and said, “How could they possibly survive when I was the one who attacked? The Lunar Rite Hall was really audacious to actually dare to kill a member of my Gu Clan. I really was too impulsive. I shouldn’t have annihilated them in an instant. I should have captured them, extracted their souls, and used their souls to light soul lanterns!”
The black robed old man shook his head while his brows were knit even more tightly together. He said, “Gu Tan, do you feel like something is slightly off?”
“What is?” asked the white robed old man.
The black robed old man replied, “You really are able to instantly annihilate them with your strength, but you didn’t use your full strength. Under such circ.u.mstances, many of them should have definitely been able to survive. I’m not doubting your strength, but you should be clearly aware that many members of Lunar Rite Hall are quite strong.”
Gu Tan pondered deeply for a moment, and then his divine sense swept out into the ruins of Lunar Rite Hall. A long time pa.s.sed before he withdrew his divine sense, and a ferocious expression appeared in his eyes, “There are no corpses or traces of blood at all. Someone saved them!”
“Who do you think it is?” The black robed old man’s face had become solemn.
Even though Gu Tan’s eyes had a ferocious expression, there was also a tinge of solemness in there. After all, that person had been able to rescue a few hundred people before them without making a single sound, that showed that the person’s strength might far surpa.s.s them!
“Could it be Supreme Exalt He or the others?” asked the black robed man.
Gu Tan shook his head and said, “No. If it was him, then he would only have to say the word. After all, how could we not give him face?”
The black robed old man sighed softly, “Forget it. Let’s not pursue the matter. Even Half-Saints aren’t safe in this world now. We should quickly head back and cultivate so that we can step foot into the realm of high-grade Half-Saints as soon as possible. At least we might have a chance at survival then.”
Swoos.h.!.+
Suddenly, a very fine and soft sound arose from the ruins. It was extremely soft, but Gu Tan and the other black robed old man had heard it.
“Get the f.u.c.k out here!” Gu Tan roared furiously as he slapped his palm down, and the ruins below instantly exploded apart.
Swoos.h.!.+
That soft sound appeared in the distance!
Gu Tan and the black robed old man exchanged glances, and then they didn’t hesitate to chase after it.
It didn’t take long for them to arrive before the city gates.
“He left the city!” The black robed old man spoke in a low voice, “Should we pursue?”
One could only leave and couldn't enter through the grand formation around the city.
“Yes!” A ferocious expression arose in Gu Tan’s eyes, “He seems to only possess a formidable concealment technique, but his strength should only be ordinary. Otherwise, he would absolutely not flee.”
The black robed old man said, “Gu Tan, forget it. He seems to be slightly mysterious. We’ve destroyed Lunar Rite Hall, and it can be considered as avenging our juniors. Since he wants to save those members of Lunar Rite Hall, then just let him. In any case, the members of Lunar Rite Hall wouldn’t dare to show themselves in the city anymore, and only death would await them outside the city and its grand formation!”
“They were rescued right under our noses. That’s like a slap to our faces. Once news of this spreads, we’ll definitely become the laughingstock of this city. If you’re afraid, then just head back. I’ll pursue him on my own!” Gu Tan’s figure flashed out of the city once he finished speaking.
The black robed old man hesitated for a moment before following Gu Tan. The Gu Clan was the number one clan in the Hallowed Grounds, and he really didn’t want to offend it.
Just like that, both of them pursued Yang Ye until they arrived in the mountains over a thousand kilometers away.
“Gu Tan, he seems to be drawing us over here on purpose!” The black robed old man glanced at the surroundings, and his eyes were filled with vigilance.
At this moment, Gu Tan noticed that the situation was bad as well. Because a sound would resound every single time that they were about to lose track of Yang Ye, and it allowed them to locate their target once more. Just as the black robed man said, he felt that something was off as well. So, Gu Tan aroused the intent to retreat when he thought of that.
Suddenly, a mysterious force appeared on them, and they instantly dropped down to the Monarch Realm!
“The Stone of Suppression! You’re Yang Ye!” The black robed old man was horrified, and even his voice was trembling. He didn’t even hesitate to turn around with the intention of fleeing. At the same time, 50 Half-Saints appeared around them, and most of these Half-Saints were mid-grade Half-Saints!
We’re finished! Both Gu Tan and the black robed old man had despair on their faces.
