Chapter 933: The Favors Owed by the Eight Venerables in Those Years

Ba Zun An?

Murong Ying didn't immediately realize who "Ba Zun An" was.

But soon, he noticed the figure standing above the domain, and his expression drastically changed, his pupils constricting sharply.

Di Ba Jian Xian?

You, Wang Chao, how dare you directly call out the name of the Di Ba Jian Xian?

"Calm down!"

Murong Ying immediately shouted, then dropped to the ground, and continued to send a message to "Wang Chao," saying:

"Stay completely calm, don't act rashly at all—the Di Ba Jian Xian is not someone the two of us can handle...

"He—how could he appear here?"

Xu Xiao Shou followed by squatting down, silently glancing at the captain who suddenly seemed lost and panicky, thinking to himself that he was very calm, but you seem to be falling apart.

Just from a name and a painted avatar, how could you be scared like this? You're a Zhan Dao expert, after all!

"Captain, this place is strange. The Di Ba Jian Xian appearing here might mean that inside the domain, there are his people too?" Xu Xiao Shou asked via message in Wang Chao's voice.

Murong Ying clearly hadn't calmed down yet, his face slightly pale, and he didn't respond.

Xu Xiao Shou had now seen the face of "Ba Zun An" and understood the immense mental damage it could inflict on someone like Hong Yi, who belonged to the Sheng Shen Dian Tang.

With a thought, he pointed at "Ba Zun An" in a somewhat panicked manner and said, "Captain, look quickly—he—he seems to have discovered our position!"

The painted avatar of Ba Zun An standing above the domain moved in response, tilting his eyes and glancing toward the large rock.

It was just a casual glance, and Xu Xiao Shou could clearly feel that at that moment, Captain Murong Ying's breathing stopped.

What echoed in his ears was the pounding of his frantic heartbeat.

"..." Murong Ying couldn't say a word for a long time.

Covering his ears while stealing the bell?

Xu Xiao Shou was speechless on the spot.

You're not playing by the rules!

Shou Ye is also a Zhan Dao expert like you, and I've never seen him react this badly. He even chased after the storyteller to fight him. But you, just encountering Ba Zun An once, are scared out of your wits?

At a time like this, shouldn't you use your calm judgment as the captain of the Hong Yi team and immediately send a message to Rao Yao Yao, warning that there's immense danger here?

Can't wait any longer... Seeing that Murong Ying still wasn't reacting, Xu Xiao Shou made the painted avatar of Ba Zun An coldly sweep his gaze once more before retracting it.

It was as if, in Ba Zun An's eyes, the two people hiding under the large rock were mere ants, not worth fearing.

The painted avatar withdrew his gaze and turned his sight back to the domain below his feet.

Though he couldn't see anything clearly, at that moment, he smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth and murmured, "Huang Quan?"

At the same time.

Xu Xiao Shou "sensed" that inside the domain, Huang Quan, who was steadily approaching Ye Xiao Tian, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He lifted his head, and beneath the mask, his eyes flashed with surprise.

"He can see!" In that instant, Xu Xiao Shou's scalp tingled, and his heart raced.

Huang Quan, inside Ye Xiao Tian's domain, could see the outside situation!

That meant, just now, when he and the captain arrived and waited in ambush, this guy had seen it all.

But, just like how the painted avatar of Ba Zun An was acting now...

They were all just ants, insignificant trash, not even worth a glance!

"Intent thought avatar?" Inside the domain, Huang Quan exclaimed in surprise, his voice laced with obvious doubt.

Xu Xiao Shou instantly understood the meaning.

Huang Quan had already noticed the appearance of the painted avatar of Ba Zun An, but he hadn't paid attention to it because he sensed how crude it was, for example...

It had no life force at all!

He should have immediately determined that this was a fake Ba Zun An.

But this fake Ba Zun An suddenly spoke, seeing through Ye Xiao Tian's incredibly solid space domain and revealing his identity, which puzzled Huang Quan.

A fake person couldn't possibly have the ability to see through a space domain at a glance.

So, Huang Quan's deduction was: the person standing above the domain, even if not Ba Zun An himself, was at least a crude intent thought avatar of his?

"Oh my kidneys..."

Xu Xiao Shou thought of this, and his back was soaked with cold sweat.

This Huang Quan was too terrifying, and his self-confidence was sky-high. Facing someone like this in a remote confrontation, he didn't dare be careless at all.

After Huang Quan's words, Xu Xiao Shou suppressed his inner fear and manipulated the painted avatar of Ba Zun An to shake his head slightly, then curl his lips and say:

"Interesting...

"Even Yan Wang has appeared in the human world. It seems my 'Feng Sheng Dao Ji' was thrown in the right place."

He said these vague lines roughly, not daring to say more.

The more you say, the more mistakes you make.

Leave some ambiguous information and let Huang Quan and the law enforcers speculate on their own!

Hiding behind the large rock, Murong Ying, who had just recovered from his state of fear and was trying to report the situation above, naturally fell back into a daze upon hearing this.

"Yan—Yan Wang?" he repeated unconsciously.

The "Yan Wang" mentioned by the Di Ba Jian Xian must be the dark organization Yan Wang that the higher-ups had been unable to track.

And earlier, that word "Huang Quan"...

So, the person inside the domain is the boss of Yan Wang, Huang Quan?

Murong Ying's mentality collapsed.

He had only just entered Zhan Dao, and hadn't even held the position of small captain for long. The legends of these dark organization bosses were something he had heard about while cultivating and growing.

Now, two of them were gathered right in front of him?

Was I just thinking of waiting for them to fight to the death inside the domain, then leading the team to rush out and kill Yan Wang's boss, Huang Quan?

As Murong Ying thought of this, his lips began to tremble.

His last bit of reason kept telling him not to delay, not to delay—he had to send a message to the higher-ups immediately!

He raised his hand toward the combat communicator and, without saying a word, tapped it three times to activate the highest-level danger alert.

At the same time, in a radius of a hundred li, all law enforcers' combat communicators vibrated.

"Beep beep beep!"

"Highest alert, coordinates as shown on the map. Nearby law enforcer teams, proceed immediately for support. Hold the enemy at all costs and buy time."

Xu Xiao Shou also received the mechanical voice from the combat communicator, along with a thought map injected into his mind.

The coordinates marked on the map were exactly where he was now.

Based on Wang Chao's memories, at this moment, nearby law enforcers would start swarming in droves.

Those farther away would tap their communicators three times first to relay the highest alert until the message reached Rao Yao Yao.

Theoretically, this process wouldn't take more than three breaths!

In three breaths, Rao Yao Yao could receive the message and start reacting!

Inside the domain.

At the same moment Murong Ying tapped the communicator three times, Huang Quan turned his head to look, his gaze landing exactly on the direction of the large rock outside the domain.

His face hidden under the mask showed no fluctuation, but his sudden premonition told him that the Yan Wang members would soon face danger.

Originally, even if Ye Xiao Tian used the domain, it might attract the attention of law enforcers.

But in Huang Quan's plan, the domain fluctuations from Ye Xiao Tian that outsiders detected would at most be at the Wang Zuo or Zhan Dao level, so it wouldn't bring much danger.

He never expected that a suspected intent thought avatar of Ba Zun An would suddenly appear on site, exposing his identity and instantly escalating the danger level here.

"What are you planning, Ba Zun An?"

Huang Quan's thoughts turned, and he quickly got an answer.

Ba Zun An belonged to the Sheng Nu, and the second-in-command of Sheng Nu, Wu Xiu, whose original name was Sang Qi Ye, was previously the vice dean of Tian Sang Ling Gong and had a connection with Ye Xiao Tian.

So, his appearance was probably just to rescue Ye Xiao Tian?

While he was pondering, Ye Xiao Tian, already severely injured, seized the gap in Huang Quan's attack and immediately dispelled the domain, turning to soar upward in an attempt to escape.

However, as soon as the domain was dispelled and he flew up, he brushed past the "Ba Zun An" above...

"This is?"

Ye Xiao Tian's eyes locked onto that face the moment he saw it—he couldn't look away. He recognized this person's identity at once!

The last time they met, the other was wrapped up as a masked figure, cutting off one of Ye Xiao Tian's arms during the night battle at Tian Sang Ling Gong.

Afterward, Ye Xiao Tian had collected all information on the Di Ba Jian Xian.

So, even though the person brushing past him this time had removed all his coverings, revealing his true face, Ye Xiao Tian immediately recognized him as Ba Zun An!

"So, the 'intent thought avatar' that Huang Quan saw inside the domain was this person?"

Ye Xiao Tian suddenly understood why Huang Quan had stopped in front of him earlier and said that meaningless phrase.

He didn't stop, continuing to flee while extending his spiritual sense to survey the situation around him.

Under the large rock, two law enforcers.

In the distance, countless auras were rapidly approaching.

"Dangerous beyond measure!"

Yet, even in such a dangerous situation, Huang Quan remained unfazed. He calmly looked at the "Ba Zun An" standing in the void and pointed at Ye Xiao Tian, saying softly, "You want this person?"

The Ba Zun An standing in the void showed no trace of cultivation or life aura; by normal standards, he was just a fake.

But Huang Quan knew that Ba Zun An was currently in a hidden sword state, and the more ordinary his intent thought avatar appeared, the more it couldn't be underestimated.

Facing the interrogation, "Ba Zun An" seemed completely relaxed, ignoring the impending danger, and just chuckled, "Give me some face, how about it?"

As he casually said this, Xu Xiao Shou, still hiding behind the large rock, was sweating on his forehead and feeling his soles grow cold, just like his captain Murong Ying.

He had once heard Ba Zun An say that in this world, if you encounter trouble, just mention his name. The younger generation might not care, but any real big shot who understands what "Ba Zun An" represents will give you some respect.

Now, he just didn't know if this Huang Quan would give face.

Dean, I've done my best! If this wave helps you get out of trouble, when we get back to Tian Sang Ling Gong, you'll have to reward me with at least ten plates of roasted goose!

Xu Xiao Shou was lost in random thoughts.

On the other side...

Face...

Huang Quan, still standing motionless on the ground, felt an unnamed anger rising in his heart upon hearing this.

You want face, I can give it to you, but as fellow lurkers in the darkness, why expose the existence of Yan Wang here to the Hong Yi's sight?

"If I don't give it?" Huang Quan narrowed his eyes under the mask and reached out, lightly grasping the void.

It was as if the heavens and earth were frozen.

At that moment, Ye Xiao Tian, who was fleeing quickly, felt that everything in the world was speeding up.

No, it's me who's slowing down...

Everything in the heavens and earth was moving normally, but only Ye Xiao Tian had become like a traded commodity, unable to move until the two behind him finished their conversation.

Ye Xiao Tian felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

In that instant, he vaguely understood what Elder Sang had once told him and Qiao Qian Zhi, Xiao Qi Xiu:

Hiding in a corner of Tian Sang Ling Gong and not venturing into the red dust doesn't mean you're transcending it—it just means you've been confined by Tian Sang Ling Gong!

Ye Xiao Tian hated his own helplessness in this situation.

Though his space mysteries were fully mastered, in front of true powerhouses, he was still like an ant, at their mercy.

In the void, "Ba Zun An" remained unmoved, not even glancing at Ye Xiao Tian, exuding an air of complete control and disdain for the world.

Behind the large rock, Xu Xiao Shou marveled inwardly at how useful Ba Zun An's face was.

Even now, Huang Quan only imposed the time-freezing power on Ye Xiao Tian and didn't dare probe "Ba Zun An" at all.

On the other hand, he manipulated the unaffected "Ba Zun An" to sneer and say:

"You can choose not to give me face, but in ten breaths, or thirty breaths, I can leave, you can leave, but the people behind you... might find it hard to escape."

As he spoke, he looked toward Jiu You Gui Ying and Bi An Hua Kai.

Though there was no killing intent in his eyes, Jiu You Gui Ying and Bi An Hua Kai felt an immense pressure bearing down, and they couldn't even lift their heads to meet his gaze.

Huang Quan fell silent.

He seemed to be weighing his options.

Should he forcibly take Ye Xiao Tian, including the hidden Sheng Yuan Jing Shi?

Or give Ba Zun An face and, before Rao Yao Yao arrives, immediately take all of Yan Wang's people and hide back in the darkness?

From his spiritual sense, Zhan Dao and Tai Xu auras were rapidly approaching.

As for Wang Zuo...

The outer perimeter of the area was already surrounded by nearby Wang Zuo law enforcers, but these people didn't dare come closer.

They didn't recognize Huang Quan,

but they knew the Di Ba Jian Xian standing fearlessly in the void.

One man guards the pass, ten thousand cannot pass!

"Huang Quan Daren..."

Jiu You Gui Ying was about to speak. As a member of Yan Wang, he wouldn't let himself cause trouble for Huang Quan.

If necessary, sacrificing himself and Bi An Hua Kai to preserve Yan Wang's secrecy, they were prepared for that.

But as soon as he spoke, Huang Quan flicked his sleeve, and two space vortices swirled, swallowing them whole.

Huang Quan hadn't left yet.

He stayed until the end, completely erasing the traces of the space vortices, then looked at Ba Zun An and said seriously:

"Today, I'll give you, Ba Zun An, this face. Remember, you owe me a favor."

With that, he glanced back at the approaching law enforcer auras, snorted coldly, and his figure shattered into golden spots, vanishing into the invisible.
