The Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master was dissatisfied with Nalanye because he discovered that not a single divine light in the Sky Martial Sacred Bowl was missing.
Actually, it should be said that he could sense that not a single divine light in the Sky Martial Sacred Bowl had gone missing.
Although every divine light was extremely important to Sky Martial Underworld Hall, the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master had been hoping that Nalanye would be able to obtain one of the two divine lights that he deemed rather powerful.
However, Nalanye had not obtained any.
The Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master did not doubt Nalanye’s abilities, but he felt that the reason for Nalanye’s failure must have been that he had aimed too high.
This sort of situation wouldn’t have happened if Nalanye hadn’t aimed for the sky!
“Nalanye, this is the direct disciple of Sky Martial Underworld Hall, Wanyan Tiannu. He is also going to enter Wanyu Sacred Mountain this time.” Although he wasn’t pleased, he did not want to fall out with Luo Yunyang. Hence, he still had a smile on his face as he introduced a Mysterious Underworld powerhouse to Luo Yunyang.
Wanyan Tiannu had a golden scaled body. Although this physique wasn’t considered too big among the Mysterious Underworld Race, he gave off a very strong vibe.
He shot an icy, provoking glance at Luo Yunyang while he was being introduced by the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master.
Although this person was only a ninth-level Heavenly Venerate, Luo Yunyang could sense from his aura that he could definitely rival an initial-stage Taishi Yuan Venerate.
“Nalanye, although I don’t really like you, I’ll definitely help you since the hall master has instructed me to do so.” Wanyan Tiannu then added smugly, “However, I feel that the odds of you beating Jiuzi Xuanming are very slim.”
The Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master was rather angered when he heard that. However, he didn’t reprimand Wanyan Tiannu.
Luo Yunyang smiled at the unrestrained Wanyan Tiannu. “Really? I believe that it is very likely that I will win. Actually, I should say that I’ll definitely win.”
“Does your confidence stem from the fact that you are a Yuan Venerate? Let me tell you something. While there is a vast gap between a Yuan Venerate and a Heavenly Venerate, it is not an insurmountable difference. Figures like me and Jiuzi Xuanming will never treat such a gap seriously,” Wanyan Tiannu said arrogantly.
He had placed himself and Jiuzi Xuanming at the same level while kicking Luo Yunyang down to a lower level.
Luo Yunyang hit back immediately at Wanyan Tiannu. “The difference between you and Jiuzi Xuanming is too huge. Don’t consider yourself equal to him, as this would be rather humiliating for me.”
“After all, Jiuzi Xuanming and I are the ones fighting for the inheritance of the Second Ancient Yuan Underworld Lord now. Not you.”
Wanyan Tiannu’s expression was ice-cold, and his stare seemed able to freeze the entire atmosphere.
He glared furiously at Luo Yunyang. If it hadn’t been for the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master, he might have attacked Luo Yunyang right then and there.
Luo Yunyang responded with an indifferent expression and had a thought at that moment. He realized that Wanyan Tiannu did not have a good relationship with the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master.
“Enough! Both of you are elites of Sky Martial Underworld Hall and should work together on Wanyu Sacred Mountain. How atrocious of the two of you to squabble before reaching Wanyu Sacred Mountain!”
As soon as he said that, he said sternly, “Wanyan Tiannu, you better remember this. From this day onward and until the end of the expedition on Wanyu Sacred Mountain, you’ll have to abide by Nalanye’s instructions.”
“Don’t blame me for giving you hell if I find out that you have any intention of being disobedient.” As he said that, an invisible pressure began to shroud Wanyan Tiannu.
Although Wanyan Tiannu’s body trembled greatly under that pressure, his eyes were still burning with rage.
Eventually, the arrogant Wanyan Tiannu lowered his tone and replied, “I will comply.”
As soon as he said that, he glared angrily at Luo Yunyang and didn’t conceal his raging killing intent one bit.
It seemed like the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master was also somewhat wary of Wanyan Tiannu. Hence, he acted as though he didn’t see Wanyan Tiannu’s actions.
Luo Yunyang had managed to sound out the relationship between the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master and Wanyan Tiannu. Thus, he did not care about the petty tricks of Wanyan Tiannu.
“Hall Master, why is the Divine Incarcerate Race willing to share the treasures of Wanyu Sacred Mountain with us?” Luo Yunyang shifted the topic of the conversation.
The Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master smiled but did not answer. Instead, Wanyan Tiannu smirked coldly and replied, “Wanyuan belongs to the Divine Incarcerate Race, but they are not able to swallow the treasures within the mountain by themselves.”
“Hence, the Mysterious Underworld Race has the chance to explore Wanyu Sacred Mountain. If you don’t even know this, you will become a laughing stock if martialists from other races hear this. Needless to say, you will lose your dignity completely.”
The Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master did not speak again. He merely flicked his sleeves before appearing with Luo Yunyang and Wanyan Tiannu above a massive transportation array.
The transportation array was thousands of miles wide and the array inscription formed by cast metal was frantically absorbing the surrounding spirit essence. Although the might of the array formation wasn’t on display, it still felt formidable.
“Greetings, Hall Master.” Two Mysterious Underworld elites, one black and one white, greeted the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master at the same time. Both of them were very respectful.
The Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master’s attitude towards the two Mysterious Underworld Race elites was very nice as well. He laughed heartily and said, “I guess the two of you are representing Sky Gold Underworld Hall and Sky Moon Underworld Hall at the Wanyu Sacred Mountain Meet.”
After saying that, he pointed at Luo Yunyang and added, “This is Nalanye. I think there’s no need for me to introduce him.”
“Brother Nalan, I’m Fengyuan Wanli, a disciple of Sky Gold Underworld Hall. I look forward to working with you.” The black-scaled Mysterious Underworld Race martialist smiled as he spoke to Luo Yunyang.
Fengyuan Wanli’s cultivation was also at the ninth level of the Heavenly Venerate, but the capabilities he displayed were not any weaker than Wanyan Tiannu’s capabilities.
Wanyan Tiannu was annoyed by Fengyuan Wanli’s words. While he was prepared to throw some shade at him, he realized that the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master was staring at him with an icy glare. Although he was reluctant, he still swallowed whatever words had been about to escape his mouth.
At the same time, the other person, who had a full body of white scales, also spoke to Luo Yunyang courteously. This was Yue Lengfeng, an elite of Sky Moon Underworld Hall and also a ninth-level Heavenly Venerate.
As soon as Luo Yunyang greeted the two martialists, another group of people appeared in front of him.
The most glaring member of this group was the Grand Deacon of Ancient Underworld Hall. However, Luo Yunyang’s attention was on Jiuzi Xuanming.
Even though Jiuzi Xuanming behaved in a very low-profile manner, nobody could ignore his presence. Even the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master involuntarily looked in his direction.
“Greetings, Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master.” The Grand Deacon of Ancient Underworld Hall didn’t seem happy with the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master, yet he still paid the due respect.
The Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master responded with a snort before saying, “How can Sagu not come to such an important event? It seems like he really trusts you. However, I wonder if you’re worthy of his trust.”
The Grand Deacon, who felt as if he had taken a slap to the face, could only answer honestly, “The Hall Master is busy, so he asked me to pass on a message to you. He will have to trouble you with his.”
“However, the Hall Master did say that he will definitely come personally to fetch Jiuzi Xuanming after the end of the Wanyu Sacred Mountain Meet.”
The meaning of this sentence was to tell the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master to forget about using any dirty tricks because the Ancient Underworld Hall Master could arrive at any time he wanted.
The Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master snorted in disdain before shooting a glance at Jiuzi Xuanming. Although his eyes were burning in fury, he stayed silent eventually.
“Let’s go. All of you will be able to arrive at Wanyu Sacred Mountain with this massive array formation.” The Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master quickly formed some hand seals after speaking and a passageway flickering with a black radiance appeared before them.
Jiuzi Xuanming viewed everything, from meeting Luo Yunyang and others to entering the massive array formation, with indifference.
His eyes merely swept across Luo Yunyang briefly as well.
It was obvious that he did not consider Luo Yunyang a significant opponent. The Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master, who was acclaimed a big shot, was also disregarded by him.
Although Luo Yunyang believed that Jiuzi Xuanming’s aura was very calm and tranquil, he could still sense that Jiuzi Xuanming had improved tremendously since their last battle.
The massive array flashed, causing Luo Yunyang to sense a huge change in his surroundings. When the flash dimmed, Luo Yunyang discovered that he had arrived at the foot of a towering sacred mountain.
The sacred mountain was millions of miles high. Luo Yunyang could feel how majestic it was upon seeing it for the first time.
There were no other words to describe it except for majestic.
Just as Luo Yunyang stared closely at the massive sacred mountain to size it up, another area of luster began to illuminate not far away from him and his group.
It was another transportation array. As it was completed, Luo Yunyang could clearly see the appearance of some newcomers.
Luo Yunyang was slightly shocked when he saw those people, as they looked exactly like humans.
As he was reeling from the shock, he even saw someone who looked familiar!
