At the same time, after Luo Xiu left the courtyard, a figure suddenly flashed where Luo Xiu had been sitting. A middle-aged man sat on the chair and looked at the old man in front of him. He asked in a strange tone, "What is this brat doing here?
Did he find out about our plan?
Or does he have other ideas? For example, he wants to give up the management rights of Hao Yue City! "
Facing the middle-aged man's blunt words, the scene was very peaceful, but the old man didn't dare to be negligent. He hurriedly stood up and respectfully said, "Ancestor, this person should have come here to warn us, but his attitude is quite interesting. He seems to have guessed our thoughts and came here to tell us that he has seen through our plans. This time, he only came here to make us express our stance. And from his appearance, it is clear that he knows something about the abnormality of the spatial passage under Hao Yue City. Of course, I dare to say that even if he knows, he should only be guessing."
If Luo Xiu was here, he would definitely be shocked to see the middle-aged man's appearance. This was because the person who came was Ancestor Heavenly Star. Moreover, this person was currently looking at the cup in front of him with a playful expression. After hearing the old man's words, Ancestor Heavenly Star's expression didn't change, but his expression revealed a hint of thought-provoking. "Oh, Ancestor Heavenly Star doesn't seem to understand.
"Oh, from the looks of it, that True Monarch Hao Yue isn't stupid. He should have already sensed something, so there's no need to worry too much. However, what this old man is curious about is, where did this brat Luo Xiu come from? Have you investigated his background? I remember that True Monarch Hao Yue has always been a loner. Where did such a fellow disciple come from? Moreover, according to this old man's observation, this brat's cultivation of the Lunar Scripture has already reached the realm of perfection. This is not something that can be done in a short period of time. Where did this brat pop out from?
The Old Man has only been in seclusion for a hundred years, but the outside world has changed so much. What's wrong with this world? "
The Devouring Heaven Emperor was interested in another matter. For example, Luo Xiu's true identity. Therefore, when he asked this question, he changed his previous carefree attitude and his tone became unprecedentedly serious.
"Reporting to Ancestor, regarding Luo Xiu's identity, we only know that he is the disciple of Supreme Hao Yue's junior brother. The two of them shouldn't have any contact before this. It should be more than ten years ago when this brat suddenly appeared. At that time, Hao Yue City was being schemed against by the Heavenly Dragon Sect. Supreme Hao Yue had no choice but to interrupt his recuperation and come out to suppress the rebellion. In the past ten years, this brat has been managing this city. Therefore, my understanding of him is only based on the information I have gathered over the past ten years. After Ancestor's reminder, no one has been able to find out about Luo Xiu's origin!
I only know that Luo Xiu's master is called Daoist Tian Xuan, and he should be True Lord Hao Yue's fellow disciples. Previously, this brat wasn't well-known because Daoist Tian Xuan and True Lord Hao Yue didn't have a good relationship. As for why Luo Xiu could gain True Lord Hao Yue's trust, this subordinate doesn't know. However, this subordinate guesses that it should be because True Lord Hao Yue has been seriously injured all these years and urgently needs a successor. If this is the case, we will have to change our method. Otherwise, if we leave this brat alone, it will have a great impact on our Dragon and Tiger Sect's plans. Tsk tsk, thinking about it this way, this brat is quite a hindrance! "
The old man replied respectfully. In his explanation, he seemed to look down on Luo Xiu. However, he had no choice but to hold his nose and endure, which gave people an extremely strange feeling.
"Daoist Tian Xuan, tsk, let me think. Why do I feel that this person is somewhat familiar?
Oh, that's right, I remember now. This Tian Xuan Daoist is the guy who once destroyed the Wuyi Mountain Branch, right? Hahaha, then he and that Xiao Jingming are mortal enemies. Didn't they say that Xiao Jingming died ten thousand years ago?
And when did he take in such a disciple? The cultivation realm of the Lunar True Scripture on that brat Luo Xiu could no longer be suppressed. This brat had definitely cultivated the Lunar True Scripture for over a thousand years!
I don't think it's very likely that he's Daoist Tian Xuan's disciple. There might not be any connection between the two. The Old Man believes that he's quite good at reading people. This brat is obviously from an unorthodox background. No matter how clever his disguise is, it's not difficult to tell from his behavior that this brat is a complete newcomer. If it weren't for the Lunar True Scripture concealing his aura, the Old Man would suspect that this brat is an Ascender from the lower realms! "
After hearing the old man's words, Ancestor Heavenly Star stroked his chin and fell into deep thought. Then, he slowly opened his mouth and spoke. The certainty in his voice caused the old man before him to tremble and lower his head even more.
"This subordinate once suspected this person's identity, but over the years, he rarely showed himself. Because of his cultivation, I couldn't follow him too closely. There aren't many strong people in this branch who can silently follow him. I only know that this person often takes out some strange things. For example, the thing at the city gate that can detect one's cultivation aura. I carefully checked it and found that it doesn't belong to the category of magic weapons. Moreover, this person often plays some videos in the huge square in the city. He calls them movies, and many of them are about the big and small matters of this world!"
In short, this brat Luo Xiu has a lot of strange things that the Old Man can't see through. I've been in this world for more than ten thousand years and have never seen someone like him. There's definitely something wrong with this person's identity. He shouldn't be on the same side as True Monarch Hao Yue! "The old shopkeeper explained his investigation to Ancestor Heavenly Star with a respectful and hesitant expression.
"Arrange for people to investigate this brat's identity as soon as possible. Send some hidden guards. The Old Man wants to find out where this brat came from. I want to know everything about this brat over the years, especially when he appeared in Hao Yue City. Also, investigate the whereabouts of that Old Man Tian Xuan. I don't know why, but I have a feeling that he's already dead!"
Ancestor Heavenly Star looked into the distance at this moment, his face no longer as calm as before. His tone was extremely strict as he looked at the old man in front of him and ordered.
The old man felt that the change in Patriarch Heavenly Star was exceptionally strange, because he rarely saw such a solemn expression on the Patriarch's face. However, he did not say anything. He bowed and left, leaving Patriarch Heavenly Star alone on the spot.
A moment later, a figure flashed in the courtyard. A stranger appeared next to Ancestor Heavenly Star. This person was extremely short. If it weren't for his flat face, everyone who saw him would think that he was still a child. However, the moment this person appeared, Ancestor Heavenly Star suddenly turned around and looked at this short old man with a guarded expression.
"Hehehe, you didn't expect this, did you?
Heavenly Star, we haven't seen each other in a long time. Don't be nervous. Why are you guarding against this king like you're guarding against a thief? This king thinks that he's a pretty good person. What's with your attitude? Do you really want this king to reason with you with his fists? "
At this moment, the short old man had a faint smile on his face. The imposing manner of looking down on the world stunned Ancestor Heavenly Star. At the same time, Ancestor Heavenly Star felt a chill in his heart.
This was because he knew this guy and deeply understood that this guy in front of him was not to be trifled with. This dwarf-like old man was the Mountain Guarding Monarch from the Cold Winter Palace. This person's cultivation was unfathomable and he loved to poke his nose into other people's business. Therefore, when Ancestor Heavenly Star saw this old man appear, his first reaction was to turn around and run. There was no other way. He had a guilty conscience. If this old man from the Cold Winter Palace really stuck to him, there would be nowhere for him to hide.
"Mountain Guarding Monarch!
You followed me!
Damn it!
What are you doing?! "At this moment, Ancestor Heavenly Star was no longer as calm as before. He questioned in a flustered and exasperated manner.
There was no other way. This short old man, Mountain Guarding Monarch, was definitely an existence that could not be trifled with. This old man in front of him could be said to be one of the few people that could not be trifled with in the entire Azure Cloud Great World. Moreover, he was ranked at the top.
Mountain Guarding Monarch, as the name implied, was the person who oversaw the Two Boundary Mountain back then. However, this old man was somewhat unreliable and often went out. As a result, the Two Boundary Mountain was destroyed, resulting in the creation of two spatial passageways that connected to the Black Demon Region. Therefore, Ancestor Heavenly Star was absolutely unwilling to see this old man appear here.
It should be known that he was able to open the spatial passageway previously because he took advantage of the time when Mountain Guarding Monarch went out to play.
He did not expect that this old man would come looking for him just as he began to jump out and before he could even make a move on the spatial passageway below Hao Yue City. Under such circumstances, Ancestor Heavenly Star was driven mad.
At this moment, Mountain Guarding Monarch looked at the flustered and exasperated Ancestor Heavenly Star in front of him. Instead, he looked at the surrounding environment with great interest, completely ignoring Ancestor Heavenly Star's unusually irritable reaction.
At this moment, Mountain Guarding Monarch looked at Ancestor Heavenly Star with a face full of curiosity and excitement. The expression on his face was eager to give it a try, as if he had seen an evenly matched opponent of the same level. He could not wait to give it a try.
"Hehe, you're really audacious. You actually dared to take advantage of the Old Man's absence to open that spatial passageway without permission. Although you handled the aftermath very cleanly, have you thought about what will happen to the hundreds of millions of lives that you indirectly caused? You're making things very difficult for the Old Man. Heavenly Star, this king is telling you, if you don't want to die, stay put for the Old Man and let the Old Man beat you up. Otherwise, if I really get serious, I'll definitely make you die without a burial place!"
At this very moment, the Mountain Vanquishing Monarch's smile was replaced by a sinister and terrifying expression. He squinted his small eyes and looked at Ancestor Heavenly Star. His words were extremely domineering. The arrogance and unruliness of being in control of everything caused Ancestor Heavenly Star to open his mouth several times, but he was unable to say anything in rebuttal.
With that, the Mountain Conqueror Monarch's expression became stern. He did not wait for Tian Xing to explain himself. Light flickered in his hands and violent energy was poured into his gloves. He swung his fists out in a flash. Wherever the wind from his fists passed, it was like a thunderclap as it violently attacked Ancestor Tian Xing. As soon as the violent energy appeared, the defensive formation of Hao Yue City was instantly drawn in.
At the same time, Luo Xiu, who had just returned to the City Lord's Mansion, was also attracted by the huge commotion. After that, he turned around to look in the direction of the energy fluctuation, and with a flash of his body, he had already arrived in front of the Dragon and Tiger Sect's shop. However, the Dragon and Tiger Sect's shop no longer existed, and only a huge deep pit appeared here. In the sky, two figures were entangled, one tall and one short. Both of them were restraining their auras, and were fighting with their bodies close to each other. The incomparable fighting style made Luo Xiu somewhat interested, but he realized that there was not a single person around who was curious to watch.
While Luo Xiu was still wondering who dared to make a move in Hao Yue City, a light flickered beside Luo Xiu. True Monarch Hao Yue also appeared beside Luo Xiu. He raised his head and looked at the two people fighting. The corner of his mouth twitched, and he said somewhat speechlessly, "Tsk!
Why is he here?
Why are these two guys fighting?!
It shouldn't be possible! "
"Martial Uncle, you know the person who made a move. Who are these two people?
The tall one seems to be Ancestor Tian Xing. As for the short man, I have no impression of him at all. I've never seen him before. However, this person is able to suppress Ancestor Tian Xing. Where did he come from? Could it be that an expert has returned from the universe?! "
Luo Xiu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He then turned around and looked at True Monarch Hao Yue expectantly, hoping that he could clear up his doubts.
"That person is called the Mountain Suppression Monarch. As for his specific name, even I don't know. I only know that this person has been called the Mountain Suppression Monarch ever since he came to this world. His cultivation is unfathomable, and he likes to meddle in other people's business. I reckon that this Old Man came here because Ancestor Tian Xing wants to harm my Hao Yue City. Or perhaps Ancestor Tian Xing's previous practice of burying hundreds of millions of lives angered him. However, I also want to know the reason. Hehe, with the Mountain Suppression Monarch taking action, even if the Dragon Tiger Sect doesn't die, they will lose a layer of skin!
I really want to know what that old bastard Tian Xing is thinking now. Hehe, who knows what kind of strange things will happen after provoking this lone Mountain Suppression Monarch! "
Stroking the beard under his chin, True Monarch Hao Yue had a gloating look on his face. His words were full of malice. The mockery in his words was not concealed at all. His gloating tone made Luo Xiu twitch his mouth.
However, just as Luo Xiu was about to speak, he was suddenly stunned. This was because he realized that two more figures had soared into the sky and were heading towards the battle between the two of them. Halfway there, they directly attacked, and the target of their attack was actually the short Mountain Guarding King.
