“You forced me to do this!”
Yang Yan’s expression was cold as he directly took out a jade tablet and crushed it!
In an instant, invisible energy ripples spread out, quickly disappearing into the void like mercury.
“Brother…”
Witnessing this scene, Yang Gang and Yang Men both revealed shocked expressions. Even they did not expect Yang Yan to be so decisive.
Others might not know, but Yang Gang and Yang Men knew that the jade tablet actually came from their patriarch.
Because he wanted to break through to the God King Stage, the patriarch had been in seclusion for 10,000 years. Unless he encountered a clan extermination crisis, he absolutely could not be disturbed.
As for that jade tablet, it was specially used to awaken the patriarch when the clan was in danger of being wiped out!
However, because the Yang Clan had always lived in seclusion, in addition to the destruction of the Heavenly Palace, there were no longer any factions in the Inner Realm that could contend against them. The Yang Clan had almost never encountered a clan extermination crisis, causing Yang Gang and Yang Clan to almost forget about this matter.
Now that Yang Yan took out the jade tablet and crushed it, it meant that the patriarch was about to be awakened!
Thinking of this, the two of them looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief.
With the patriarch stepping forward, he believed that this divine artifact in front of him was absolutely not a match!
“Oh, are you going to send out a signal?”
Qin Jue put his hands behind his back and didn’t care.
It was a familiar plot. Usually, when the younger ones were beat up, they would ask for the older ones to come and avenge them.
However, in this case, the younger ones just happened to be very old.
On the other hand, Killing Dao didn’t care about that. Boundless energy condensed above her head and transformed into a sword light that was ten thousand feet long and slashed towards Yang Yan and the others, not giving them any chance to be complacent.
“Damn it!”
Yang Yan could not help but curse as he hurriedly circulated his spirit energy to dodge. He was in a sorry state.
After ten days and ten nights of bitter fighting, Yang Yan had long realized that no matter what, he absolutely could not fight Killing Dao head-on. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even know how he died.
After all, Yang Yan couldn’t even match her at his peak, let alone now.
Fortunately, Yang Yan reacted quickly and dodged in time. He was not hit, but Yang Gang and Yang Men were not so lucky.
Although the two of them had already retreated with all their might, they were still injured by the sword qi. There were sinister injuries on their chests and they were constantly bleeding, causing them to look extremely miserable.
“Pu!”
The two of them immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, and their auras became dispirited and completely lost their ability to fight.
“Yang Gang! Yang Men!”
Seeing this, Yang Yan had no choice but to release his spirit energy to envelop the two of them and pull them to his side.
At this moment, Yang Yan was incomparably regretful. Why did he have to provoke this monster?
So what if they awakened the patriarch? At this rate, the three of them would be killed before the patriarch could arrive.
Hu!
In the next moment, the sword light tore through the void and changed directions before continuing to slash towards the three of them. Its power was even more terrifying than before!
“It’s over…” Yang Yan’s face was ashen as he said in despair.
Seeing that the sword light was about to land on Yang Yan and the other two, a large spirit energy hand suddenly stretched out across the endless void. It spread out its five fingers and forcefully blocked the sword light!
Boom!
The void shook as two completely different energies instantly collided. It was like a thunderclap that flashed, illuminating an area of 50,000 kilometers and making the void seem as if it was daytime!
When the light dissipated, the spirit energy hand grabbed the sword light firmly and did not move at all. No matter how Killing Dao tried, it could not move an inch forward!
“We… aren’t dead?”
At the same time, Yang Gang opened his eyes with a surprised expression.
“This aura…”
Beside him, Yang Men’s pupils suddenly constricted, revealing an unbelievable expression.
“It’s Patriarch!”
Yang Yan was overjoyed.
Before he could finish his sentence, a figure silently appeared on the spirit energy hand. Clearly, he was the one who had controlled the spirit energy hand to intercept Killing Dao’s attack.
The person who had arrived was wearing green clothes, silver hair, and a slender figure. He was handsome and delicate like a woman. Especially his two phoenix eyes, they were filled with charm. Merely based on appearance, he was almost not inferior to Killing Dao.
His cultivation far surpassed Killing Dao’s, and he had already reached the peak of the upper realm True God Stage!
“Patriarch!”
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Yang Yan hurriedly lowered his head and bowed.
“Yang Yan, you better give me a reasonable explanation.” The person frowned and said coldly.
Seeing this, Qin Jue was rather surprised. The other party’s first reaction was actually not to attack Killing Dao but to condemn Yang Yan. Interesting.
“Yes!”
Yang Yan couldn’t help but shudder. He could only explain the entire matter in detail and did not dare to add anything extra.
“How dare you!”
The person said coldly, “Yang Yan, do you still remember what I told you before I entered seclusion?”
“I remember.”
Yang Yan was covered in sweat and shivering.
For hundreds of thousands of years, under the patriarch’s lead, the Yang Clan had always lived in seclusion. No matter what happened in the outside world, they were not allowed to interfere. In the patriarch’s words, it was to avoid being tainted by unnecessary karma and implicating the clan.
Moreover, before the patriarch entered seclusion, he had specially instructed Yang Yan not to come into contact with the experts of the outside world.
Otherwise, after the Heavenly Palace was destroyed, they would have been the ones to rule the Inner Realm.
“In that case, what is the meaning of this?” The person glanced at him with killing intent.
“Patriarch, I really didn’t know that this divine artifact already had an owner.”
Yang Yan wanted to cry but had no tears to shed. He tried his best to explain himself.
“Hmph, you interrupted my seclusion because of this. I’ll deal with you when I get back!”
After reprimanding Yang Yan, the person first turned around and looked at Killing Dao. Then he cupped his fists at Qin Jue and said, “Friend, I am Yang Potian. This should be a misunderstanding. I hope you can be magnanimous and forgive me. Let the three of them go. I am willing to compensate.”
“…”
Was this guy really an upper realm True God Stage expert? Wasn’t he too cautious and servile?
Just as Qin Jue was thinking, Killing Dao said, “I don’t want any compensation. I have to make them apologize!”
“Uh… are you sure?”
Yang Potian was stunned.
“That’s right!”
In Killing Dao’s opinion, True God Stage experts were all proud and arrogant. They treated their dignity more important than their lives, so how could they apologize so easily? Unfortunately, she had underestimated the deterrence Yang Potian had towards Yang Yan and the others.
“Did you hear that? Apologize!”
Yang Potian ordered without hesitation.
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Yang Yan and the other two hurriedly shouted, “Sorry, we were wrong. We shouldn’t have attacked you. Please spare us!”
Killing Dao: “??”
What was going on?
Did they really apologize so easily?
Was there a mistake somewhere?
“Is that good enough?” Yang Potian asked with a smile.
Yang Potian was extremely happy after learning that the whole matter could be resolved without compensation.
As for dignity? What was the use of dignity?
Moreover, Yang Yan and the other two were the ones at fault. It was only right for them to apologize.
“…”
Seeing Killing Dao remain silent, Yang Potian thought that the other party was still unsatisfied, so he waved his hand and shouted, “Kneel!”
The three of them looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and knelt down with a plop. “Sorry, we were wrong. Please be magnanimous and spare us!”
Killing Dao : “…”
Qin Jue :”…”
Something was wrong with this patriarch!
