<h4>Chapter 912: The Sudden Appearance of Neenth Master Xiao</h4>


    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios


    Not much energy was exerted in speaking these few words, but everyone could clearly hear them.


    Although that person spoke it indifferently, it’s full of bleakness and boredom, as if he couldn’t raise his spirits in front of the hundreds of experts of the Ye n.


    Everyone from the Ye n woke up instantly, and walked out of their tents, looking into the distance.


    They saw that above a tree 400 to 500 feet away, there was a figure standing with his hands sped behind his back. He was looking up towards the sky, and his ck robes fluttered in the wind.


    He gave people the feeling that this person would be gone with the wind at any moment and vanish in the expanse of heaven and earth.


    “This elder is...” Fourth Master Ye, Ye Wutian, mustered his courage and asked, “What are you here for?”


    The man in ck continued to look up at the sky. Then, he slowly lowered his head and gazed deeply at Ye Wutian.


    The moment his eyes came into contact with Ye Wutian, Ye Wutian felt that that person’s eyes suddenly turned into a starry night sky, and instantly, he felt dizzy even from the bottom of his divine spirit. Although he stood still, he felt that his divine spirit had already turned upside down.


    Ye Wutian couldn’t help but hold a hand on his forehead, and he tried hard to close his eyes. Then, he groaned, “Elder...”


    He couldn’t speak further.


    Everyone was stunned.


    Although Ye Wutian only addressed that person, everyone knew Ye Wutian was already asking for mercy as he said this one word.


    Ye Wutian ¹ , who was also known for hiswlessness, actually became like this? It was conceivable how strong the opponent was.


    The man in ck raised his head up again, and looked at the bright moon in the sky a little sorrowfully. After a long, long time, he said lightly, “Ye Wangran, if you don’te out, I’ll go in.”


    His voice was soft, but the threatening tone in his voice was obvious.


    <i>If you don’te out, I’ll attack! These few experts that you have aren’t even enough for me to kill! If you don’t want your Ye n members to die in my hands, thene out now!</i>


    Although this sentence wasn’t said, everyone in the Ye n was clearly aware of the existence of such a sentence!


    At the same time, a spell of death enshrouded the entire region, and it gradually spread out. It was faint, and it was hard to catch its presence.


    The man in ck on the tree let out a soft sigh. There was a hint of helplessness in the sigh.


    Everyone sensed what this sigh meant: <i>Ah, I can’t control the spell of death well. My cultivation still isn’t enough...</i>


    Everyone was at a loss of what to say.


    Only Supreme Martial Artists above the fifth stage could make the spell of death invisible. This man in ck in front of them could already make the spell of death hard to catch the presence, but still, he wasn’t satisfied...


    A voice rang heavily from the Ye n’s camp, “Such a decisive battle was originally intended for the junior generation to vent their frustrations, and the older generation to practice their cultivation... Why has your Xiao n sent such an expert like you here?”


    There was a little dissatisfaction in his voice. Obviously, he was ming the Xiao n for making such a big fuss over a small matter.


    “Haha... older generation?” the man in ck on the tree said as he let out a slight chuckle, “Ye Wangran, who’s... from the older generation?”


    Ye Wangran said, “Isn’t it us?”


    The man in ck on the tree became silent. At the next moment, he suddenly used the power of his divine spirit to let out a yell, “Ye Wangran!”


    Along with this yell, all the experts from the Ye n felt an ocean of blood appearing in the conscious space of their divine spirits.


    After that yell, that ocean of blood suddenly surged up huge waves! Bright red color connected with heaven and earth, and there’s no other color in sight.


    They couldn’t help but shut their eyes and shake their bodies. They dared not open their eyes for a long time. Every one of them looked dumbstruck.


    A ck figure flew out from the Ye n’s camp. After flying near the ground for 300 feet, he turned around elegantly and rushed up towards the sky, like a rocket, to arrive at a height of 500 feet above the ground, then he flew backward.


    The distance between him and the man in ck pulled apart again. He settled at the top of the tree 300 feet away from the man in ck.


    All his movements were smooth. From flying on low grounds, then turning around, rising up to the sky, retreating backward to standing still on the tree, he didn’t exchange a breath.


    He was really more flexible than a bird.


    But Ye Wangran looked cautious and grim. Looking at the man in ck clothes and veil opposite him, he took in a deep breath and said, “You’ve such great forces in your divine spirit!”


    The man in ck snorted and said, “Ye Wangran, which generation of the Ye n are you from?”


    Ye Wangran straightened his back and said, “I’m the 65th generation of the Ye n and the direct line of descent of the Ye n. I’m positioned number six in our n!”


    Although he didn’t acknowledge his opponent to be his senior, the fact that he answered the opponent’s question truthfully already showed his attitude: <i>I’m lower than you in terms of seniority.</i>


    The man in ck let out an ‘oh’, then said with a slight smile, “65th generation... Erm, I remember that I’m the 59th generation... Haha... I didn’t expect there’s already someone from the 65th generation of the Ye n who has be a Supreme Martial Artist.”


    He seemed to look nk for a while. After a long time, he asked, “How’s Elder Ye Di?”


    Ye Wangran was silent for a while before he said, “He’s alright!”


    Since he didn’t know the opponent’s identity, he could only mention vaguely about this.


    “Erm...” The man in ck seemed to be very satisfied with Ye Wangran’s answer. He sighed, saying, “How many years have passed... This moon today is still the moon in the past.”


    This made Chu Yang, who was hiding in the Nine Tribtions Space, almost want tough aloud: <i>If the bright moon isn’t the bright moon in the past, can it even be a sun?</i>


    Ye Wangran deeply agreed with the words. He actually also sighed, saying, “In this versatile world, the only thing that remains unchanged is this moon...”


    The man in ck said lightly, “Thew of nature also doesn’t change!”


    Ye Wangran shuddered. Then he said respectfully, “Elder, thank you for your teaching. Yes, thew of nature also remains unchanged.”


    The man in ck nodded gratifyingly. “You learn well!”


    His hands were still sped behind his back as he looked at the moon. He said in an ethereal manner, “Today, the moon is bright while the stars are dull. I suddenly feel a little sorrowful... So I decided toe out and have a walk...”


    Ye Wangran said respectfully, “I see.”


    The man in ck continued to say, “The enmity between the Ye n and my Xiao n hassted for a long time. But both sides have been cordial to each other all along, and even if life and death matters do ur, they won’t go to war against each other. Ye Wangran, do you know why?”


    Ye Wangran said respectfully, “Back then, nine of our elders swear to the Nine Tribtions Sword that we descendants of the Ye n will be brothers to one another forever. If there is any one of us unworthy to be part of the Ye n, he shall be executed by the nine great ns together.”


    The man in ck nodded slowly, saying, “After I finished my closed-door training, I looked at the moon and it stirred up my emotions. Then, I got to know that your Ye n has carried out an attack against us, so I decided toe out to walk around.”


    Ye Wangran groaned in his heart: <i>You wanted toe out to walk around... But why did youe to find me? How can I stand against you in walking around...</i>


    “Then, I suddenly got to know that there’s someone from the Ye n who’s called Ye Wangran...” The clothes of the man in ck fluttered silently in the air, and so he smiled silently. “This name exactly describes the sorrow I have this night ² ... So I came to have a chat with you.”


    Ye Wangran’s face looked bitter. He thought: <i>It turned out to be the fault of my name. </i>He asked, “May I know who you are...”


    The man in ckughed. “I’m the 59th generation of the Xiao n and ranked 19 in my n. So do you know who I am now?”


    Ye Wangran instantly changed color on his face. He looked even more respectful now, and said, “Elder, so you’re Neenth Master Xiao who’s known back then for breaking the ground with only a stroke of the sword! Back then, the Three Disaster-Making Supremes adventured in the South-East region and imed that they were unparalleled, and you were sent by your n to kill these three people; It was said that you defeated them with only a stroke of the sword! This made these three people submit to you, and from then on, they disappeared from the martial world... It was said that the stroke of the sword that you made was called ‘Mountain- and River-Moving Technique’!”


    The man in ck seemed more solitary. He said indifferently, “This is a past event. There’s no use in mentioning it now.”


    Ye Wangran said, “Yes.”


    The man in ck stood quietly and still as if he was caught in the memories of the past.


    He didn’t move. Ye Wangran didn’t dare to move either.


    He didn’t talk. Ye Wangran also dared not to talk.


    The forces of divine spirit exerted by this man was aplete blow to him. Now, Ye Wangranpletely believed that this man in ck in front of him was that Neenth Master Xiao who once dominated the Upper Three Heavens as well as all the experts in the world!


    Legend had it that although the rank of the Xiao n’s descendants after his generation exceeded this number ’19’, no one dared to be ranked ’19’!


    Ever since Neenth Master Xiao utilized that Mountain- and River-Moving Technique, his rank prevailed.


    In the face of such a legendary character, even Ye Wangran, this Supreme Martial Artist, also had to show visceral reverence towards him!


    After a long time, this ‘Neenth Master Xiao’ flicked his sleeves, and he fluttered off the tree, flying into the shades of night. He said lightly, “Come with me.”


    Then he flew away without turning his head back.


    Ye Wangran kept up with him without hesitation.


    In front, this ‘Neenth Master Xiao’ wasn’t traveling at a fast pace. At least, in the eyes of Ye Wangran, this Supreme Martial Artist, the speed was really not fast. It was at least the speed that a Martial Saint would travel...


    Ye Wangran really didn’t understand why ‘Neenth Master Xiao’, this elder, would want to travel at such a slow pace and wasn’t in a hurry at all when this elder wanted to have a chat with him.


    But ‘Neenth Master Xiao’ had his hands sped behind his back all along. Facing the moon and clear sky, this ‘elder’ flew forth elegantly. It seemed that as he was flying forth, he was also thinking about his past, being sentimental, and trying to understand something...


    Such ethereal posture of the ‘elder’ made Ye Wangran act cautiously, and he even dared not to speak which would otherwise disturb this ‘elder’. And he could only travel as fast as the elder. So, Ye Wangran conscientiously traveled 200 feet behind the elder and followed behind his back patiently.


    “Ye Wangran, look at the scenery of this South-East region. How is it?” this ‘Neenth Master Xiao’ spoke again as he continued to fly on. He seemed to be testing Ye Wangran.


    Ye Wangran looked around in midair, and praised, “The mountains are magnificent, towering and precipitous, and the heaven and earth look just like they are one body. This kind of scenery is really unmatched in the world. It’s no wonder that the Xiao n can produce so many experts in such a beautiful ce.”


    “Haha...” ‘Neenth Master Xiao’ shook his head slightly apanied with soft sounds ofughter.


    “Elder, what do you mean?” Ye Wangran asked humbly.


    “Back then, I was fortunate to be able to visit the sceneries of Zhongdu together with Ye Di. Ye Di asked me: Neenth, what do you think about the sceneries of Zhongdu?” Neenth Master Xiao said lightly.


    Ye Wangran instantly raised his spirits and said, “Then, elder, what did you reply then?”


    The two silhouettes drifted quietly across the sky like flowing clouds.


    Ye Wangran suddenly felt there were four strong auras hiding beneath them, but ‘Neenth Master Xiao’ didn’t react to them, so Ye Wangran pretended that he didn’t sense them, and continued to follow behind ‘Neenth Master Xiao’.


    <i>They are only four Martial Saints...</i>


    <i>Since Neenth Master Xiao hase personally, how could he devise a sneak attack?</i>


    For this, Ye Wangran had unconditional trust towards the demeanors of elders!


    Not only him, but this also applied to everyone from the nine big ns. If such unparalleled expertsy hands, they would definitely cause the earth to shatter and mountains to crack! Why would they still need to carry out sneak attacks or device conspiracies?


    Besides, Ye Wangran was filled with curiosity and had a strong thirst for knowledge. He knew that since this ‘elder’ said to bring him here, then this ‘elder’ meant to teach him something. Usually, a word of advice from such experts was far better than decades of hard practice in martial arts.


    How would Ye Wangran be willing to let go of such an opportunity?


    ‘Neenth Master Xiao’ smiled slightly, and flew for some miles like a light wind, before he stopped and said, “Back then, when Ye Di asked me this question, I thought, why did he ask me this question?”


    He said lightly, “But when I asked you just now, you replied to me without hesitation. This means that you didn’t think about it.”


    Sweat instantly soaked Ye Wangran’s body!


    It was a vast difference between taking the initiative to think and not thinking at all!


    “Elder, please point out.” Ye Wangran only felt a cold breeze sweep by and he felt a chill over his body. At this moment, he actually had the sense that autumn hade.


    “Back then, I thought about it and answered: There’re ages toe for both Zhongdu and South-East region,” ‘Neenth Master Xiao’ said smilingly.


    Ye Wangran started to ponder on the words.


    <i>There’re ages toe for both Zhongdu and South-East region.</i>


    <i>The tone isn’t soft when he said this. He’s clearlyparing the Xiao n and Ye n. And, he’s really quite bold to be able to say this in front of Elder Ye Di. I really wonder whatment Elder Ye Di gave back.</i>


    As he thought, he asked, “Elder, how did Elder Ye Di reply you?”


    ‘Neenth Master Xiao’ shook his head smilingly. He said, “Back then, Elder Ye Di said: Neenth, you’re really clear-eyed and talented in your generation!”


    <i>Clear-eyed and talented in your generation!</i>


    Ye Wangran shuddered. He pondered carefully on the meaning of this sentence. This sentence obviously had some derogatory connotations but also had some positive meanings to it. But why did Elder Ye Di say this?


    He thought for a long time but couldn’t find an answer. He finally asked, “Then, Neenth master, what do you think of my answer?”


    He seemed to beparing himself to that ‘Neenth master’ back then.


    He wanted to know the difference between him and ‘Neenth master’.


    Unwittingly, ‘Neenth Master Xiao’ had already led Ye Wangran to drift across four or five mountain tops and got far from the ck Pine Forest.
