536 Surprise Attack (2/2)

It was said that was the original place of the temple, but that was really long ago and the place had undergone countless changes since then. The Chen's family nest had already moved elsewhere, and this served just as the family's gathering place. Naturally, there was a branch of the clan responsible for the temple's security and looked out for any talent arising among the Chen kinsmen. This was a noble service, as for this type of family, every new talent that arose helped increase the family's influence. Even though they had no desire to take over the Divine Wind Palace, they wanted to maintain a superior position there, and power was absolutely essential for that.

Chen Shoubai was an outstanding figure in the family. He ranked among the top five of the Chen family in terms of power.

Being such an important person within the family, the leader of the temple could not neglect him and had to welcome them.

”Chen Yuhai of the Chen Ancestral Temple in Mountainside Town is visiting the three deacons!” Chen Yuanhai was a very capable middle-aged man, who looked almost as old as Chen Shoubai. However, in terms of actual age, Chen Shoubai was much older and held a more senior position.

”Well, let me introduce His Majesty the Emperor Yan Yuntian from the Central Mainland Region of the Jin Dynasty. This powerful contender for the throne of Human Emperor is King Wuyang Zhou Bao of the Jin Dynasty, a man of immeasurable power!”

”I have met His Majesty and King Wuyang!” Chen Yuanhai's complexion changed slightly, and being neither servile nor overbearing, bowed to the two people. Zhou Bao and Yan Yuntian both bowed back. It did not matter what Yan Yuntian's status was, he was now in someone else's territory. He was many miles away from the Jin Dynasty, and his title of emperor was not of great use here. As for Zhou Bao, he just did not want to cause trouble. He was not arrogant and seeing bystanders bow to him, it was natural that he should bow in return.

”Is the accommodation arranged?!”

”It has been arranged, in the South Court. Should His Majesty and King Wuyang have any requests, please tell us and we will oblige.”

”There is no special requirement. As long as you can accommodate us, all is fine!” Yan Yuntian was modest and maintained a low profile. However, his clothes, especially the Heavenly Crown of Peace on his head, showed off his formidable greatness, and he could not keep a presence as humble as he wished.

”Old Eagle, look at the purple air in the sky. It seems someone else has come to attend the Human Emperor-selecting Ceremony. How about we go and have a look, shall we?”

”Yes, let's see what qualification he has to come and attend the Human Emperor-selecting Ceremony. If he happens to die, we might even be gifted with his fate instead, which would be very beneficial to His Majesty's great cause.”

Deep in the mountains hundreds of miles away, the figures of two half-man-half-creatures were watching the purple cloud lying over Mountainside Town while having this conversation.

One of them, muscled and sturdy, had a human shape. However, his face was like a fierce tiger and on his forehead faintly appeared the Wang character. He had a long golden tiger tail dropping from behind. He indeed was morphing into a tiger.

The other man, slender and well-proportioned, was one head taller than his companion. His skin was extremely white, almost the color of milk, and his face was surprisingly handsome. It was his eyes that grabbed the most attention. They faintly gleamed with a golden light, as if they could see through all the things of this world. He had a pair of mighty golden wings on his back, as if cast from gold itself.

These two monsters were daring. They knew that there was a Transmitting Formation there. They had been hiding there for several days, watching the guys appearing for the Human Emperor-selecting Ceremony. As soon as Zhou Bao and Yan Yuntian showed up, the purple cloud from the Heavenly Crown of Peace grabbed their attention, immediately increasing their desire to kill.

Their bodies turned into two streams of light. In a flash, they arrived at Mountainside Town. The real, terrible inhibition was outside of the Transmitting Formation, but nowhere in Mountainside Town itself had any special type of inhibition, so there was nothing to block the way of these two Demonic Immortals. They rushed forth and stopped just in front of Zhou Bao and the others.

They were too quick. Yan Yuntian or Chen Shoubai had no time to react, only Zhou Bao did.

The tiger demon smiled strangely and stretched out his giant claw. He grabbed the top of Yan Yuntian's head without letting them react. Behind him, his tail cracked like a whip, and with it, he thrashed Yan Yuntian's body.
