âJiao Linghe! To think that you dare to step foot in this place again just to attack me? This is a rebellion!â Deacon Xiao stood up angrily while caressing his face.
Yi Tianyun sighed as he was kind enough to let the man live, but he was starting to regret it now. âYou still have the guts to say that? Now I give you two choices, either you take us to second elder, or I will slap you once again!â Yi Tianyun said coldly.
Deacon Xiao was furious after hearing Yi Tianyunâs words, âHuh? You wish! If you want me to take you to the second elder, apologize to me now!â Deacon Xiao said with a smirk on his face, but he made a wrong decision here. Yi Tianyun slapped him in the face once again, and it was so fast that Deacon Xiao didnât have the time to react!
âWhat did you just say? Go on, spit those words once again!â Yi Tianyun said coldly while Deacon Xiao was lying on the ground with blood dripping from his mouth and broken teeth. But the look on Deacon Xiaoâs face was still furious as his pride was getting trampled.
âI will not take you there!â He said between his broken teeth. Yi Tianyun slapped him once again, further injuring Deacon Xiaoâs face.
âAre you sure you wanted this?â Yi Tianyun said calmly.
Jiao Linghe and Shi Xueyun silently watched the scene from the side as they thought that Yi Tianyun was ruthless, but the Deacon was to blame as well!
âI will bring you there!â Deacon Xiao said weakly as he couldnât stand the pain anymore. Thus Yi Tianyun stopped and dragged Deacon Xiao to stand back up and pushed him to start walking. The Deacon immediately walked towards the second elderâs place with a bitter look in his eyes. Many disciples of Sealing Heaven Divine Nation who saw Deacon Xiao were confused when they saw Deacon Xiaoâs swollen face. However, they couldnât bring themselves to ask as Deacon Xiao seemed to be with a guest.
Most people there didnât know Jiao Linghe, unless theyâve been staying there for a long time like Deacon Xiao.
With Deacon Xiaoâs guidance, they walked deeper into the mountain. This mountain was called Fengtian Mountain, and it was guarded by two Spirit King Experts as it was the most important sacred mountain for Sealing Heaven Divine Nation!
If anyone wanted to hike up the mountain, they had to show a secret order or notify the elders to enter. And thus, after Deacon Xiao was close enough to the guards, he immediately ran over and shouted nonsense. âThese people are trying to broke into Fengtian Mountain! They even hurt me and threaten me to get their way!â Deacon Xiao shouted as he ran to the guards.
Yi Tianyun sighed and immediately rushed over and slapped Deacon Xiao once more. This time, Deacon Xiao was left unconscious from the attack, but Yi Tianyun still didnât kill him. The expression of the guards quickly changed. When they noticed Jiao Linghe in the midst of strangers who came with Deacon Xiao, they immediately realized that Deacon Xiao was making a false accusation.
But still, they didnât approve of Jiao Linghe coming back after running away with their young master in the past.
âI want to see the second elder.â Jiao Linghe said solemnly.
The two guards looked at each other and closed their eyes as they found the situation bothersome. âAlright, I will report this situation to the elders and ask if they allow you to enter Fengtian Mountain. In the meantime, you all stay here.â One of the guards said with a solemn face.
The guard immediately left towards the mountain to report, leaving the other guards to treat Deacon Xiaoâs injuries. But after a while, a new voice boomed from the side, startling Jiao Linghe and the guards.
âYou again!â the old man shouted.
âLong time no see, Third Elder!â Jiao Linghe greeted coldly. She didnât show any respect for the old man as she looked at him disinterestedly.
The third elder was surprised by Jiao Lingheâs attitude, but when he saw the young man beside her, he finally noticed that the face was familiar. âIs that young man Yi Xingchenâs son?â the third elder said solemnly.
âYes, I want him to meet the second elder. But, what is it to you?â Jiao Linghe said calmly.
âCapture them!â The third elder said calmly as he pointed his finger towards Jiao Linghe and Yi Tianyun. The disciples who came with the Third Elder immediately surrounded them as they followed the third elderâs order.
âWhat is the meaning of this, Third Elder? We just wanted to see the second elder, and you want to capture us? Did you want to kill me now?â Jiao Linghe said coldly.
âWhy wouldnât I do this? Yi Xingchen has betrayed the family to be with you! It was a give that Iâd capture and interrogate you regarding that matter. It was a shame for Sealing Heaven Divine Kingdom to lose Yi Xingchen, but we have to uphold the law!â the Third Elder said calmly.
âReally? I wonder if you have anything to do with us being hunted down on the past!â Jiao Linghe said calmly. The Third Elderâs expression changed a little bit, but it didnât show much for others.
âWhat are you saying? You didnât even bother keeping contact with us for so long, and now you accused me of hunting you down? We are searching for you, but we didnât want to kill you!â the Third Elder said calmly.
The third elder was back to his poker face after that, but Yi Tianyun knew better. The slight change of expression in the third elderâs expression earlier showed that he knew something about the hunt for Jiao Linghe and Yi Xingchen.
