Sect Leader Mystic Sky stood up, and a sharp light shot out from his eyes.
“Is the news reliable?”
Mystic Sky could not help but take this seriously. This was a major event that concerned the lives of countless creatures in the Great Wide World, as well as the heritage of the Mystic Sky Sect and the entire human race.
Ou Yangming nodded and asked, “Brother Mystic Sky, do you still remember the mighty figure from the otherworld that we met in the Ancient Demons’ ruins?”
“Yes.” Mystic Sky’s voice was a little low. He still had some impression of the Nine-sworded Ruler.
Ou Yangming continued, “That guy escaped from the ruins with serious injuries. Later, I found him and killed him, then I got the news from him. That guy is called the Nine-sworded Ruler. He’s an elder of the Third World’s Heavenly Path Alliance.”
“The Heavenly Path Alliance!”
Mystic Sky did not look good. The other higher-ups of the sect also widened their eyes.
That was a powerful force.
Even the Mystic Sky Sect was nothing in front of the Heavenly Path Alliance.
The Great Wide World was divided into 3 parts. The Mystic Sky Sect was only a part of the Humans, whereas the Heavenly Path Alliance was the master of the entire Third World.
“How confident are you?” Mystic Sky looked very serious.
If Ou Yangming had not been deceived by the other party, the Great Wide World would probably be in big trouble.
“I’m 100% confident.”
Ou Yangming slowly stood up after he finished. “And I also know that the Immortal Path to Heaven will open in 2 years. The Nine-sworded Ruler was only the first almighty powerhouse of the Heavenly Path Alliance to enter the Great Wide World. They’ll send even more formidable people here. There are also Ruler Ying and the mysterious elder behind him. Big Brother Mystic Sky, don’t you have any guesses?”
Mystic Sky’s gaze froze. “You mean…”
“Their style of doing things is too strange. They’ve never appeared before in the Great Wide World. I think they should be from another world as well,” Ou Yangming eventually voiced out his guess.
If Ou Yangming had not mentioned the Immortal Path, the Mystic Sky Sect’s sect leader and the others would not have thought this. Nonetheless, if the path was really opened, the possibility of them being powerhouses from another world was very high.
The air gradually quieted down, and everyone fell into deep thought.
On the Spiritual Herbs Mountain, the large group of outer sect disciples still had not dispersed.
Recalling the scene just now, their eyes were filled with disbelief.
“Isn’t Ou Yangming the new outer sect disciple of the Mystic Sky Sect? How could he have such powerful strength?”
“Ruler Ming, that’s Ruler Ming!”
2 days ago, Steward Mo had discussed the topic of Ruler Ming with a few old friends. In his heart, his respect for Ruler Ming was like the endless mountains in the distance.
Nevertheless, at this moment, he was surprised to find that Ruler Ming had suddenly become an outer sect disciple of their Mystic Sky Sect. Moreover, the Ruler was under his jurisdiction.
Steward Mo could not accept the change in Ou Yangming’s identity.
“Ruler Ming is so powerful. If that mysterious elder hadn’t acted, Ruler Ming would probably have been able to kill that mighty figure, Ruler Ying.”
A few outer sect disciples looked at the distant mountain and whispered.
The others looked at the Bai brothers, Steward Mo, and the Law Enforcement Department’s disciples sympathetically.
Ruler Ming was their sect leader’s honored guest, yet these people had planned to capture him just now. They were simply courting death.
“Bai Chi, Bai He. What do you want to do?”
Steward Mo suddenly turned around and saw the Bai brothers, who were planning to escape.
The anger in his heart surged. Thinking carefully, he and Ou Yangming did not have any grudges. It was entirely because of the brothers’ instigation that he was dissatisfied with the young fellow, which led to the subsequent events.
“Steward Mo, we plan to feed the spirit beasts…” Bai Chi stammered.
The 2 of them had left the Firewood Mountain due to their good results in the previous examinations. As such, they were assigned to the Spirit Beasts Mountain.
“Feed the spirit beasts?”
Steward Mo’s eyes were filled with a cold glint. He coldly shouted, “I don’t think you’re going to feed the spirit beasts. You’re planning to escape, right?”
He was like an old fox. How could he not see through the thoughts of the brothers at this moment?
They knew Ou Yangming’s true identity, and they were afraid that the other party would seek revenge later. They probably wanted to escape.
The 2 of them were insignificant figures. As long as they disappeared from the Mystic Sky Sect and hid in a place, a big figure like Ruler Ming might not spend much effort to find them.
Their thoughts were not bad, but Steward Mo could not let them get what they wanted. They could run, but he could not.
The Bai brothers were the root cause of the disaster. If they left secretly and if Ruler Ming were to hold someone accountable, would it not all fall on Steward Mo?
This definitely would not work. With Steward Mo’s small arms and legs, he would not be able to withstand Ruler Ming’s anger.
“No, sir, we’re really going to feed the spirit beasts!” The Bai brothers were flustered.
Steward Mo had guessed their thoughts.
If a person did not do what was best for himself, Heaven and Earth would destroy him. The brothers would not consider what would happen to Steward Mo after they left. Their lives were the most important.
“Is that so?”
Steward Mo sneered and shouted, “Disciples of the Law Enforcement Department, listen to my orders. Take down these 2 villains who were disrespectful to Ruler Ming and await his orders.”
“Yes, sir.”
More than 10 disciples of the Law Enforcement Department drew out their longswords and surrounded the Bai brothers.
The disciples of the Law Enforcement Division were the elites among the outer sect disciples. They were the strongest and each of them was an Advanced Spiritualist. Facing these people, the Bai brothers did not dare to move at all, not to mention Steward Mo was also watching from the side.
Very quickly, the Bai brothers’ spiritual powers were sealed, and they were pressed to the ground by a few people.
They begged for mercy loudly, but no one sympathized with them.
If they angered a powerful expert, even the school master of the Alchemy School would not be able to save them. Furthermore, how could a figure like the school master speak up for mere outer sect disciples?
The Bai brothers were finished. Even if Ruler Ming did not pursue the matter, they would be eliminated from the outer sect.
“Lock them up in the Law Enforcement Hall and guard them well. Don’t let them escape.”
Steward Mo said seriously, giving the disciples a look as he spoke.
Those disciples naturally understood Steward Mo’s thoughts. They had a part in attacking Ruler Ming just now. This was a good opportunity to make up for their mistakes. They must not mess it up.
After the brothers were captured, Steward Mo finally let out a breath. He was still anxious.
Fortunately, he had discovered it early and did not let these 2 fellows slip away. Even if he were to die, they would be buried together with him.
The banquet on the main peak had dispersed. After Ou Yangming had revealed the news of the Immortal Path to Heaven, everyone’s interest in the banquet had obviously decreased by a lot.
In the face of a great enemy, everyone felt a tense pressure.
Ou Yangming was a powerhouse in the third step, and he was even stronger than Ruler Ying. His strength had surpassed that of Sect Leader Mystic Sky, so his words still carried a lot of weight.
The banquet ended in a hurry. Sect Leader Mystic Sky chose to enter closed-door cultivation. He had to restore his strength to its peak within these 2 years.
These powerhouses of the Mystic Sky Sect also had their missions.
They had to pass this news to other sects and clans to ensure that the Humans’ sects and clans in the Great Wide World had powerhouses above the second step. The others had to find out this news as soon as possible.
Ou Yangming dismissed the people who were serving him and walked alone in the Mystic Sky Sect.
On a flat piece of land on the main peak.
More than 10 men and women were gathered. They were talking excitedly about the battle just now.
These people were not old, at most 15 or 16 years old. All of them were dressed luxuriously, and the clothes on their bodies looked like extraordinary treasures.
A youth held a long spear in his hand and suddenly stabbed at a rock.
“Boom!” The sound of an explosion rang out.
The rock turned into pieces, and dust filled the sky. A few girls pinched their noses and quickly moved to the side.
Afterward, the young man said proudly, “What do you think? Does this move of mine have some of Ruler Ming’s charm?”
“Pfft, pfft, pfft!”
Jianjia’s face was full of disdain. She rolled her eyes at him and said, “Lil’ Ye, this move of yours can only be compared to the outer sect disciples at most. You’re far from Ruler Ming.”
“Yes, yes!”
Another chubby little girl looked at the dust in the sky with disdain, then she said, “Elder Sister Jianjia is right. Ruler Ming can destroy a mountain with just a trace of the aftershock. Your spear only broke a big rock. You’re not even as powerful as me!”
After saying that, she walked toward another rock and sat on it.
“Crack!” The rock cracked.
The small rock was unable to withstand the force and broke into several pieces.
“Bao is so powerful!”
“Younger Sister Bao is too powerful!”
The others cheered happily.
These young people were all pampered young masters and young ladies. They were not strong, but their statuses were not low. Who asked them to be backed by at least an elder at the peak of the law boundary?
The handsome young man just now snorted unhappily. He looked at the others and said, “Don’t think that I’m not as good as Ruler Ming. I’m definitely better looking than him. I’m the most handsome man in the Mystic Sky Sect.”
When the young man spoke, he even brushed his hair.
“Ugh…” Jianjia, Bao, and the other girls all looked like they were vomiting.
“Lil’ Ye, just give up. You look like a dog, and you’re far from Ruler Ming,” Jianjia said mockingly.
The youth was not convinced. He questioned, “How do you know that I’m not as good-looking as Ruler Ming? Don’t tell me that you’ve seen him. When Ruler Ming was fighting with Ruler Ying I watched the whole process yet couldn’t see his appearance clearly. Besides, it was so far away. Do you have clairvoyance?”
Jianjia snorted. “Do you think I’m like you, a country bumpkin?”
“Elder Sister Jianjia, why did you scold me?” The fat girl was not happy.
“I’m not talking about you, Bao.” Jianjia patted her head and looked at the young man again, “I’ve seen the Ruler long ago and even talked to him!”
“Hahaha…”
Hearing Jianjia’s words, the young man suddenly held his stomach and laughed.
“You don’t believe it?” Jianjia’s eyes widened.
“I’d be a ghost to believe you.” The young man laughed and looked at the people around him, asking, “Do you believe her?”
Other than Bao, everyone else shook their heads.
They did not believe that Jianjia knew the Ruler and even talked to him.
“Jianjia, stop bragging. Do you think we’ll believe your lies?”
“Yes, what’s the identity of Ruler Ming? If your father, the master of Heavenly Star Mansion, had met him, I’d still believe it. As for you…”
The person who spoke shook his head.
