Chapter 494: Chapter 493: People from the Past

"I never said it was a one-on-one duel," the words of Hua Tianqiong made Wen Shiyu’s complexion change.

He instinctively scanned his surroundings, suspecting an ambush.

But after checking, he found nothing.

Wen Shiyu frowned tightly, staring at the blood-drenched Hua Tianqiong, unable to help feeling somewhat pity for him, "Is this pointless little trick your last stand?"

Hua Tianqiong smiled without answering.

Wen Shiyu’s frown deepened even more.

Hua Tianqiong coughed for a while, lying on the ground with a grin, "What I meant wasn’t that, but that the Emperor Immortal Sect will defeat the Yunxiao Sect, the Fierce Battle Sect, Qianyuan Cave Heaven, Purple Flame Mountain, Seven Killings Sect, Xuanyuan Sacred Land, Feixian Sacred Land, Canghai Sect, and Heavens Cloud Divine Sect!"

Wen Shiyu’s eyebrows smoothed out, and he chuckled, "You’re about to die, yet you’re still so naive?"

"Where do you think Emperor Immortal Sect’s chance of victory lies?"

"Of course, in the Emperor Immortal Sect," Hua Tianqiong replied.

Wen Shiyu shook his head and chuckled, not intending to further waste words with this old acquaintance, raising his hand to kill Hua Tianqiong.

Boom!

The next moment, Wen Shiyu’s expression changed dramatically.

Hua Tianqiong was taken aback, sensed something was wrong, and looked at Wen Shiyu.

"What have you done?" Wen Shiyu asked in a deep voice, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

"What did I do?" Hua Tianqiong was cluelessly baffled.

Wen Shiyu’s expression turned ugly; he took out a jade talisman and was about to crush it.

"Since you’ve come all this way, don’t be in such a hurry to leave," a hoarse old voice slowly rang out.

Wen Shiyu’s expression changed violently, and he looked incredulously at the old blind man who appeared out of nowhere, shaking his head vehemently, "Impossible, this can’t be possible!"

"You died in that battle forty thousand years ago, why are you here?!"

Wen Shiyu stared intensely at the old blind man, who looked like a beggar.

If someone from the Lie Tian Heavenly Country’s Imperial City were here, they would recognize this old beggar.

Known as the first beggar of Lie Tian Imperial City, although he was blind, he knew many things.

Even Hong Yunlie, the head of Lie Tian Academy, respected him as a master.

This blind beggar could offer guidance to everyone.

Every time he begged, he provided insights to people.

The entire Imperial City knew him.

Even the previous Emperor wanted to invite him back as the State Preceptor.

But at such times, this blind beggar would disappear.

This let the people of the Lie Tian Imperial City know that he was definitely a master.

However, regarding this, Hua Tianqiong was unaware.

Since he spent much of his time in a deep slumber and never concerned himself with worldly affairs.

But when Hua Tianqiong saw the blind beggar, he was shocked, then overjoyed, and then tearful, "Uncle?"

The blind beggar smiled slightly, "Little Tianqiong, why are you still so weak? It seems like you’ve never beaten Wen Shiyu."

Hua Tianqiong didn’t feel embarrassed at all, instead, he burst into a sheepish laugh.

Honestly, he thought he was certainly going to die; he didn’t expect a miracle to happen.

His uncle wasn’t dead!

Hahaha, it looks like the Emperor Immortal Sect will truly win this time!

"The guy from Yunxiao Sect really has no manners at all, don’t you knock when you enter someone else’s home?"

The blind beggar looked up at Wen Shiyu and said lightly, "It’s bad enough not to knock, but to kill someone, that’s a serious wrongdoing."

"Didn’t your elders teach you manners?"

Bang!

Wen Shiyu spit out blood, his face pale as he stared intensely at the blind beggar, completely aghast.

"Hua Yunzhang, how could you still be alive, you clearly died at the hands of Elder Hu Yun from the Fierce Battle Sect back then!"

Wen Shiyu still felt it was hard to believe.

That battle had many participants.

But not many survived until now.

Unfortunately, Wen Shiyu, Hua Tianqiong, and this blind beggar named Hua Yunzhang, were among them.

"That guy blinded me, it would be embarrassing to go to the Netherworld without avenging myself," Hua Yunzhang grinned.

"You want to kill me?" Wen Shiyu asked solemnly.

Hua Yunzhang chuckled, "I’d quite like to kill you, but it would spoil things, let’s wait for another three days."

Wen Shiyu’s expression was dark, and he remained silent.

He had never anticipated that coming alone to Lie Tian Upper Country, he’d be set up like this.

He had never thought that Hua Yunzhang was still alive.

In everyone’s eyes, the Lie Tian Heavenly Country had only Hua Tianqiong.

But now it seemed, he had thought too much.

Hua Tianqiong was just a facade, the real menace hidden behind was this Hua Yunzhang!

"Stay calm for three days," Hua Yunzhang waved his hand.

Boom!

Wen Shiyu was directly knocked out, falling to the ground motionless.

Suddenly, Hua Yunzhang helped Hua Tianqiong up and fed him an elixir, frowning as he said, "Why are you still in such a state?"

After taking the elixir, Hua Tianqiong’s injuries improved instantly. He forced a smile and said, "I thought there was no hope, so I just took the hard hits."

"Luckily, you were here; otherwise, I might have really died for good."

"Your life still has great use; you can’t just die so easily." Hua Yunzhang glared at him.

Hua Tianqiong chuckled, then suddenly thought of something and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, besides you, are there any others?"

Honestly, upon seeing his uncle, Hua Tianqiong saw tremendous hope.

Moreover, in the master’s hands, the power of the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple was still held!

This battle might really be winnable!

Hua Yunzhang shook his head slightly and said, "If we speak of Lie Tian Heavenly Country alone, aside from me, there are no others. However, in the Emperor Immortal Sect, I don’t know if Ning Zongtang is still alive."

"Old Ning?!" Hua Tianqiong gasped in shock.

Hua Yunzhang sighed and said, "Don’t get your hopes too high. That old fellow was injured more severely than I was back then. It’s difficult to say whether he could survive."

Hua Tianqiong was immediately disappointed.

If Old Ning were around, he probably could have forged half the heavens with just one sword.

Back then, he had admired Old Ning the most.

"Three days from now, you will take action together with me." Hua Yunzhang seemed very open-minded, "Having survived to this day, we were waiting for this moment to kill a few more and make it worthwhile."

"Alright." Hua Tianqiong responded firmly.

...

Emperor Immortal Sect, atop Cang Mountain.

Ye Xuan was sitting cross-legged on the Heavenly Thunder Stone, his complexion had recovered.

After sleeping for two days, his Soul Power had restored a lot.

Opening his eyes, a strange light flickered through them.

"So, within Lie Tian Heavenly Country, there is also an old fellow hidden..."

Ye Xuan mumbled to himself, somewhat surprised.

"Ning Zongtang, that’s the guy under the Divine Gate, right?" Ye Xuan’s lips curved up slightly.

An unexpected increase in combat strength.

Good.

It would be best if he didn’t need to make a move at that time, so he could be lazy for a bit.

What’s good about fighting and killing, isn’t sleeping much more comfortable?

After looking at the Seven Star Life Extension Lamp, Ye Xuan could make out.

It was stable.

It’s just unknown how much lifespan it can extend.

Everything is up to fate.

Ye Xuan withdrew his gaze, looked towards the sky dome, touched the Heavenly Thunder Stone beneath him, and mumbled, "When the time comes, you better bring down the heavenly thunder for me."

He wanted to use the heavenly thunder to step into the Miao Xuan Stage.

By then, he could try the Daoist Body of the Miao Xuan Stage to see what kind of power it held.

Perhaps, he should be able to easily defeat a small completed Divine Body.

Ye Xuan’s lips curved up slightly.

At the Mountain Gate.

Li Kuangtu was sitting cross-legged.

Twenty-two heads of the Netherworld Guides were placed beside him.

In just two days, Li Kuangtu’s injuries had completely healed, and his strength seemed to have advanced further.

This is the terrifying aspect of the War Demon’s path.

To prove the Dao through battle.

Fighting until severely wounded is exactly the best time for cultivation.

The way of the War Demon is precisely this operation.

One word—abnormal.

As mentioned before, the first generation War Demon of the Emperor Immortal Sect was the right-hand man of the Lie Tian Great Emperor—War Demon Hong Yuan.

And how did War Demon Hong Yuan obtain the path of the War Demon?

Behind everything, there’s a ’Ye’ character.

Through countless ages, behind many supreme powers, there’s always a ’Ye’ character.

Just like the ’Ye’ character that appears above the Divine Altar of the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple.

And just like the ’Ye’ character in the ancestral hall of the East Desolate Ye Family.

All of this points to one person—the Undying Night Emperor.

No one knows Ye Xuan’s real name.

They only know him as the Undying Night Emperor.

A single ’Ye’ character, representing the Undying Night Emperor.

And for Li Kuangtu to receive personal instruction from Ye Xuan was an immense honor.

Just like what Ye Xuan said when he planted the Dao Seal in Li Kuangtu’s Sea of Consciousness.

Now you might feel it’s a disgrace.

In the future, you will take pride in it.

(ps: emmm, going to sleep, see you tomorrow)
