Chapter 1553 The Scarlet Emperor

As the old man announced his name, he removed his hood, clearly revealing his face. He raised his head slightly and straightened his back.

Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong already had a taste of the other party’s strength and knew the other party was not an ordinary person. However, they were both confused; who was Ling Weiyang?

Yu Zhenghai said honestly, “I’ve never heard of that name.”

Ling Weiyang: “…” Ling Weiyang studied the two young men again. Finally, he asked, “Didn’t your elders tell you about the cultivation world?”

Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong shook their heads at the same time.

Ling Weiyang’s eyelids twitched. Then, he said, “In the cultivation world, people know me as… the Azure Emperor.”

Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong shook their heads again and said in unison, “Never heard of it.”

Ling Weiyang: “…”

“Senior, no matter what, we already have a master and a sect we belong to. As the saying goes, ‘A master for a day, a father for life’. If we betray our master and sect to accept you as our master, don’t you think we’d betray you in the future as well? You might as well let us go and find another talent,” Yu Zhenghai said with a smile.

Ling Weiyang shook his head. “That won’t do. How can I let go of those I’ve taken a liking to? However, your words do make sense. Character is important and something to be considered as well. Since you won’t betray your master, I’ll kill him first. Then, you won’t have to feel guilty about accepting me as your master.”

Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong: “…”

When Ling Weiyang saw the strange expressions on the duo’s faces, he thought they were afraid. Hence, he asked with a smile, “Who’s your master?”

Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong did not answer immediately.

Ling Weiyang’s cultivation base was clearly profound. Since he was known as the Azure Emperor, he was definitely a supreme being. They knew they could not easily make an enemy out of him.

With this thought in mind, Yu Zhenghai said, “My master is just a nobody. There’s no need to mention him.”

“That won’t do. Summon him here,” Ling Weiyang said.

“My master’s cultivation is inferior to senior’s. If senior kills my master, we’ll only hold a grudge against you. Why bother?” Yu Zhenghai said.

“You have a point,” Ling Weiyang said before he added, “Then, I’ll talk some sense into him. Summon him here.”

“My master isn’t in the Unknown Land,” Yu Zhenghai said.

“That’s not a problem. I’ll follow you to see him,” Ling Weiyang said.

Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong felt that things were not looking good. The other party was not easy to deal with and was also a pain to deal with.

Yu Zhenghai sighed before he finally said, “To tell you the truth, my master has been missing for many days. Both of us are looking for him.”

Ling Weiyang frowned slightly.

When Yu Zhenghai saw the change in Ling Weiyang’s expression, his heart relaxed. He said, “If you have the time, senior, why don’t you come with us to look for our master?”

In Yu Zhenghai’s opinion, an expert like Ling Weiyang definitely would not have time for this.

As expected, Ling Weiyang, the Azure Emperor, hesitated and fell deep into his thoughts. After a moment, he said with a regretful expression, “I’m afraid I don’t have so much time. I also need to look for someone.”

“Senior, who are you looking for? Maybe we can help you?” Yu Zhenghai asked.

Ling Weiyang looked at his surroundings. The person he was looking for was no secret anyway so he said, “The Unholy One.”

This was the person he mentioned earlier, right? What a scary title…’

The duo shook their heads and said, “We’ve never heard of him.”

Ling Weiyang had the urge to slap both of them as his eyelids twitched violently. However, on second thought, the era of the Unholy One had long passed. Although the Unholy One was famous, as time passed, not many people knew about him anymore. Moreover, the Great Void had made the Unholy One a taboo so no one dared to mention it. It was not surprising that the younger generation did not know about the Unholy One.

Finally, Ling Weiyang calmed down and nodded slightly.

At this time, Yu Zhenghai looked at Yu Shangrong meaningfully before he said, “Since senior doesn’t have the time, then we’ll take our leave now.”

If they did not leave now, who knew when they would be able to leave? In a way, they were very fortunate. If they had encountered someone from the Great Void or the Great Abyss Land, things would be bad.

“Hold on,” Ling Weiyang said sternly.

With this, Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong stopped moving

“You can leave, but I’ll have to leave a mark on you,” Ling Weiyang said. “A mark?”

“When I have the time, I’ll come and look for you. When your master meets me, not only will he not refuse, but he’ll even be eager to agree,” Ling Weiyang said confidently.

With that, Ling Weiyang launched two orbs of green light that looked like droplets of water toward Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong at lightning speed. They landed on the duo and disappeared.

Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong mobilized their Primal Qi and sensed their bodies but could not sense anything different. They naturally felt uneasy. They tried to use their Primal Qi again to force whatever it was out, but there was nothing.

Ling Weiyang said with a smile, “Don’t waste your energy. If you can undo it, I’d only be embarrassing myself.”

Ling Weiyang continued to say, “I’ll look for you after I find the Unholy One. At that time, I’ll speak to your master. Tell him to prepare to receive me. Remember. My name is Ling Weiyang.”

Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong were about to speak when Ling Weiyang vanished into the distant horizon. The duo looked at each in dismay.

“This is bad,” Yu Zhenghai said with a frown, “We’ve already been marked. If we return to Fragrant Valley, won’t we expose everyone’s location?”

Yu Shangrong nodded expressionlessly. “That old man isn’t simple. Since he dares to look for that whatever Unholy One, his cultivation can’t be worse off. With our strength, we won’t be able to undo the mark.”

“Then, what should we do now?” Yu Zhenghai asked.

“We can’t return to Fragrant Valley for sure. We’ll use talismans to keep in touch with the others. We’ll decide what to do once we find master,” Yu Shangrong said.

“This is the best choice.” Yu Zhenghai nodded.

The duo looked at the dense fog in the sky before they looked at the abyss again.

Yu Zhenghai suddenly asked, “Why did that old man want to accept us as disciples?”

Yu Shangrong said, “During the few exchanges earlier, I can feel a strange energy flowing in my Eight Extraordinary Meridians. If I’m not mistaken, he must have sensed the existence of our Great Void Seeds.”

Yu Zhenghai frowned and sighed. “It seems like we’re both unlucky today.”

“Not really. At least, he didn’t have any intention to kill us. At the very least, for now, he’s not an enemy. If we had met people from the Great Void, I’m afraid they would’ve taken us away forcefully,” Yu Shangrong said.

“Oh?” Yu Zhenghai turned around and sized Yu Shangrong up before he said, “Second Junior Brother, when did you learn from Old Seventh? Your analysis is very logical.”

Yu Shangrong smiled indifferently. “I’m not stupid. I’m just too lazy to use my brain.”

“Let’s cut the crap. We have to leave this place as soon as possible. If someone from the Great Void comes, it’d be difficult for us to leave,” Yu Zhenghai said before flying away.

Yu Shangrong followed suit.

The duo flew and landed on a mountain peak about 100 miles away from the runic passage.

Then, they used the talisman and told the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion about what they had seen, heard, and encountered in Dunzang.

Needless to say, everyone was greatly shocked.

The disciples of the Autumn Dew Mountain, and even Chen Fu, were shocked.

Chen Fu was worried so he sent some of his disciples to the western capital to investigate the situation.

As for Liu Zheng; Chen Fu’s disciple, he fainted when he heard about this. Great Han was ultimately his land, after all. Now that the turmoil in the cultivation world had affected the mortal world, it would definitely be a devastating blow.

In the sky 100 miles east of Ji Ming’s Pillar of Destruction, Ling Weiyang appeared.

He looked at Ji Ming’s Pillar of Destruction and the ice barrier that towered up into the sky. He could not help but shake his head as he said, “Scarlet Emperor, you’re the most ruthless father I know.”

As soon as Ling Weiyang’s voice fell, a tall and sturdy middle-aged man dressed in red robes appeared. His figure was graceful and elegant. His face was ruddy, and his eyes were piercing. He stood with his hands on his back as he said, “It’s not your place to comment on my family affairs.”

Ling Weiyang glanced at the red-clad middle-aged man and asked, “Why are you so irritable?”

The Scarlet Emperor did not reply. Instead, he asked, “Have you found him?”
