Chapter 575: The Arrival of a Higher Realm Expert
Chapter 575: The Arrival of the Upper Realm Expert
"..."
Within the remaining area of the Town Prison, thousands of figures stood respectfully within a forbidden area of the sect.
In the depths of this forbidden area was a massive formation disc.
This was the coordinates where the upper realm expert would land upon arrival.
At this moment, the Saint Lord of the Town Prison, Huo Tianya, had a tense expression. Behind him, ten Palace Lords stood in a single row, with the eleventh Palace Lord positioned at the end.
Ling Tianyu!
Following them were various elders and important figures of the Town Prison sect, including core disciples.
It could be said that apart from those supreme existences who remained secluded, the upper echelons of the Town Prison sect had gathered here, fully prepared for a long time.
"They're here!"
Suddenly, the experts at the Heavenly Dan Realm level all looked up.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!" Accompanied by a thunderous roar from the sky, a stream of lightning-like radiance descended and struck directly onto the massive formation disc!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Enormous waves of energy, impacts, and dust spread out explosively!
Huo Tianya and the other experts swiftly waved their hands to block these energy waves.
Everyone's gaze focused as they looked towards the dissipating dust.
Soon, the dust settled, revealing the appearance of a middle-aged woman.
She wore a light blue robe and carried a blue sword on her back. Her aura was deep and immense, far beyond imagination.
Astonishingly, it was the representative from the upper realm who had arrived here!
Nangong Maran!
"Town Prison sect?" Nangong Maran furrowed her brows and inquired.
"Change of personnel?" Huo Tianya was taken aback. The last time they sent Nangong Li to the lower realm, it was clearly an elderly individual.
Nevertheless, Huo Tianya quickly knelt down and respectfully spoke, "Huo Tianya, Saint Lord of the Town Prison sect in the lower realm, greets Senior Nangong!"
"Hmm!" Nangong Maran nodded in satisfaction.
As long as the landing coordinates were secure, it was fine.
Although inter-realm travel techniques were now perfected, accidents could still occasionally occur.
The massive formation disc was precisely for establishing coordinates and ensuring safety.
"Where is Nangong Li? Bring her over!" Nangong Maran spoke slowly.
"Um..." Huo Tianya's brows furrowed, and he hurriedly looked at Ling Tianyu.
"Senior, Nangong Li is on her way and will arrive shortly. Senior has come from the upper realm, please take the opportunity to freshen up and rest a little bit!" Ling Tianyu waved his hand.
Almost instantly, nearly a hundred maids respectfully stepped forward.
"This is the highest-grade Spirit Pool of this realm, infused with a trace of the Water of Life as the pool's water, combined with ninety-nine petals of fifth-grade Spirit Flowers! It will surely provide some relief to Senior's fatigue!" Ling Tianyu replied respectfully.
"Hmm! Not bad! Very well!" Nangong Maran nodded and expressed satisfaction with Ling Tianyu's arrangements, then left with the maids.
"Nangong Li has arrived. She will wait in the main hall!"
"Understood!"
Nangong Maran gave a casual order, but before Huo Tianya could speak, Ling Tianyu responded promptly.
"..."
A glint of murderous intent flashed in Huo Tianya's eyes, but he remained silent.
Many elders looked at Ling Tianyu and then at Huo Tianya, sensing an ominous atmosphere in the air.
It seemed like something significant was about to occur in the Town Prison sect.
"Elder Ling Tianyu, when did that senior arrive?" Huo Tianya suddenly spoke.
"That senior... hmm?" Ling Tianyu was about to reply when his gaze suddenly shifted.
"Whoosh!!!" A streak of light flashed, and in an instant, it flew into the Town Prison sect, landing directly in Ling Tianyu's hand.
"The senior has already arrived! Saint Lord, please wait a moment. I'll go welcome them!" Ling Tianyu replied, then took a step forward and swiftly headed towards the entrance of the Town Prison sect.
"Hehe! Just a little fellow. He really thinks highly of himself!" With Ling Tianyu gone, Huo Tianya's expression suddenly turned fierce.
"Indeed, this person is audacious, daring to show off in front of the upper realm expert!"
"Exactly, Saint Lord, Ling Tianyu, this person, really doesn't consider you in his eyes!"
"Hehe, once his task is completed, we'll eliminate him!"
...
Several trusted elders of Huo Tianya spoke without hesitation.
"What do you think, Palace Lords?" Huo Tianya nodded in satisfaction, then turned his gaze to the other Palace Lords.
"Hehe, what the Saint Lord said is absolutely right!"
"True, Ling Tianyu must be killed!"
"This kid has become increasingly arrogant lately! It's better to eliminate him before his wings are fully grown!"
...
The five Palace Lords didn't waste words and directly expressed their opinions.
"The Saint Lord is absolutely correct!"
In addition to the four Palace Lords who had previously seen the imposter Senior He Yiming with Ling Tianyu and another Palace Lord, they also responded respectfully.
"Hmm!" Huo Tianya nodded in satisfaction.
In Huo Tianya's view, despite Ling Tianyu's abilities, his rise had been too brief, and he hadn't firmly established himself in the Town Prison sect.
Displaying himself so urgently—what good would it do even if Huo Tianya killed him now?
Look at it this way, is there anyone willing to speak up for him?
Obviously not!
"Welcome Senior Nangong Li!"
"Greetings, Senior!!!"
...
Just then, a notification sounded within the main hall.
"Hehe, a mysterious senior? Old man really wants to see who this person is!" Huo Tianya laughed and led ten Palace Lords and other strong individuals of the Town Prison sect directly to the sect's main hall.
On one side of the main hall, seats were arranged, and two figures were seated there.
One of them, dressed in a silver-blue dress, was none other than Nangong Li, whom the Town Prison sect was very familiar with!
The other...
Was He Yiming!
Within the Town Prison sect, apart from Huo Wuji, who had belched his last breath, and Number Seven, no one else knew He Yiming's true appearance.
Huo Wuji had no chance to expose He Yiming's identity, and Number Seven naturally wouldn't foolishly reveal himself.
So, when Huo Tianya and the others saw He Yiming, they were all shocked.
So young?
Huo Tianya tried to use his discerning gaze to catch a glimpse of He Yiming's cultivation and age, but an invisible force completely blocked his vision, causing him to refrain from
further scrutiny.
".｀ Fifth Palace Lord of the Town Prison sect, greets Senior!"
"Seventh Palace Lord of the Town Prison sect, greets Senior!"
"Ninth Palace Lord of the Town Prison sect, greets Senior!"
"Tenth Palace Lord of the Town Prison sect, greets Senior!"
...
However, at this moment, the four Palace Lords who had gone with Ling Tianyu previously all kneeled on one knee without a word, respectfully speaking up.
Each person's expression was extremely earnest, devoid of any falsehood in their awe and reverence.
This scene naturally shocked everyone present.
"Senior, this person is Huo Tianya, Saint Lord of the Town Prison sect. These ten individuals are the Palace Lords of our Town Prison sect!" Ling Tianyu stood at the side and respectfully introduced them.
He Yiming didn't even spare a glance at these people, his gaze fixed solely on Nangong Li.
Time was running out.
He Yiming only wished to look at Nangong Li a few more times during this fleeting time.
Nangong Li was also quietly gazing at He Yiming.
"Damn it..." Huo Tianya, the Saint Lord of the Town Prison sect, exploded in anger!
This person who held him in such disdain, if it were someone else, he would've killed them long ago!
However, this person before him was unpredictable.
Moreover, the upper realm's Nangong family expert was still present, and Nangong Li was here as well. It wasn't convenient to take action!
For now, he had to endure.
"Huo Tianya, greetings, Senior!" Huo Tianya opened his mouth and casually performed a salute.
However, He Yiming still didn't turn his head to look.
Huo Tianya was nearly driven mad, but just then...
"Nangong Li, it's time to leave! The family has allowed you to be willful for so long, and you still haven't come back!"
A domineering and overbearing voice suddenly resounded!
