This old man could tell that
"Hmm, that I can't tell you either!"
Yang Kai grew exasperated and snapped, "Then what CAN you tell me?"
The old man thought for a moment, reached out and patted Yang Kai on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Cultivate hard. Ascend to the Emperor Realm as soon as you can. The future of the Star Realm depends on all of you."
"Get lost!"
The old man was not the least bit offended. He simply gave Yang Kai an amused look, then turned around. His expression turned solemn as he called out in a clear voice, "Everyone, if you would hear this old man's advice, please leave this place immediately. It is extremely dangerous here. If you remain any longer, your lives will be at stake."
His earlier spear strike had been casually neutralized by the old man, so he knew that although the old fellow was only at the Third Stage of the Dao Source Realm, his true strength was unfathomable. He dared not underestimate him in the slightest. If any other Dao Source Realm cultivator had spoken like that, he would have already blasted them with his spear.
"Since you seem so knowledgeable, why don't you tell us — which Great Emperor left this skeleton behind?" Liang Qiu shifted the topic, bringing up the skeleton hidden within the black hole.
Earlier, when Mo Xiaoqi's Sacred Soul Seal had suddenly unraveled, everyone's attention had been drawn to that crisis. Filled with dread, none of them had the mood to concern themselves with the Great Emperor's skeleton or the spatial ring.
But now that the Sacred Soul Seal crisis had been resolved, everyone's attention naturally returned to that spatial ring.
Liang Qiu's question hit the mark. Everyone looked at the old man with curiosity, hoping he could provide an explanation.
The old man's expression grew grave. "Regardless of which Great Emperor left these relics behind, it no longer matters. In the ancient battle between the Great Emperors, the war was devastating — the sun and moon were blotted out. Only a handful of things survived. All the remaining artifacts were smashed to pieces. There can't possibly be anything worthwhile inside that spatial ring. I suggest you all stop coveting it."
"You expect me to just take your word for it?" Liang Qiu snorted coldly.
"I believe him!"
Liang Qiu glanced at her and pursed his lips. Lan Xun was the daughter of Great Emperor Mingyue. With her speaking up to support the old man, he couldn't very well keep arguing against him.
Lan Xun said, "Senior, what exactly is the danger here? If it's convenient, could you tell us?"
The old man frowned. "Lives are at stake, Miss Lan. Take your people and leave this place at once."
Upon hearing this, Lan Xun considered for a moment, then nodded. "Since the senior says so, this junior will take her leave. Please take care, senior."
As she spoke, she glanced at Yang Kai. Seeing his expression of complete indifference, she didn't try to persuade him. Instead, she turned to the cultivators observing from a distance and called out, "Senior brothers and sisters from the Southern Domain — if you trust Lan Xun, leave this place immediately!"
With that, she immediately shot off into the distance. Although
Once she left, many of the elite cultivators from the Southern Domain among the onlookers summoned their artifacts and departed one after another.
It was clear that the Star God Palace's influence in the Southern Domain was immense. No ordinary person could have achieved the same effect.
Several hundred of the several thousand people were gone in an instant.
If it were just Xia Sheng alone, he might not have left. After all, he was also an Emperor Realm cultivator. But Xiao Baiyi and Murong Xiaoxiao were with him, and he had to consider their safety. He couldn't gamble with their lives.
"
Yao Si raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "I go where I please. No one can order me around!"
As the son of a Great Emperor, he was naturally extremely proud. Though the old man had displayed somewhat earth-shattering abilities earlier, thinking he could give orders to Yao Si was a bit premature.
The old man sighed upon hearing this, then suddenly waved his hand. A streak of light shot toward Yao Si at lightning speed.
Yao Si's expression changed. He hurriedly circulated his Emperor Yuan and retreated at full speed, trying to dodge the attack.
But to his horror, the streak of light was impossibly fast — far beyond anything he could evade. Not even his protective Emperor Yuan provided the slightest defense.
The light struck him directly.
Yao Si was forced back several steps, his face turning deathly pale.
"You old bastard! How dare you ambush someone!" Liang Qiu shouted in both fury and shock.
He was furious because the old man was utterly shameless, launching an attack without the slightest warning. He was shocked because even Yao Si hadn't been able to withstand the ambush. Such strength was absolutely terrifying.
They had ascended to the Emperor Realm here in the
If he could so casually ambush Yao Si, wouldn't ambushing them be just as easy?
