CHAPTER 568: CHAPTER 568: RESPECTFUL

The most important thing was, Yang Tian himself wasn’t the one to carry out this action, but rather, it was someone strong by his side.

Where did they come from? They didn’t care!

All they knew was that this burly man, who was able to make an elder of the Ghost King Sect kneel on the ground, acted like an obedient servant in front of Yang Tian.

What they knew even more clearly was that Yang Tian was now their master, Chen Xue’s elder brother!

He was their God, their Sword Sect, returning to the heavens!

For a moment, if it weren’t for the presence of the white-eyed elder and another bandit’s Ghost Emperor, they would have cheered!

Compared to the people of Shenjian Sect, that white-eyed elder and the black-robed man behind him were absolutely hideous!

Especially that black-robed man, who shouted immediately, "Why... Why is it like this?"

He knew that the person captured by Di Hai was comparable to him in strength, at least in the narrow sense!

Now, when Di Hai captured his companion, it was as if he were casually grabbing a sack of goods.

Even when caught, his companion did not resist at all!

How could Shenjian Sect, one of the Four Great Sects, possess such a formidable individual?

He suspected that this person had abandoned his original sect, the Divine Sword Sect.

Of course, if Di Hai knew this, he would have laughed uncontrollably on the spot.

Who was he?

Even though he had now become Yang Tian’s servant, at his core, he was still one of the two kings in the most chaotic region of the Cultivation World, reigning over the boundless sea with unparalleled hegemony and standing above the Chaotic City!

He was a figure whom even the three great lords could only deal with on equal terms.

How could such a person be compared to Ye Wudao?

After all, Old Bai Mei was a true elder of the Ghost King Sect, and his strength was extraordinary. So, though he was initially shocked by Di Hai’s power, he quickly steadied himself and coldly commanded, "What are you panicking about? Am I not still here?"

After saying this, the people behind him promptly replied with a resounding "Yes."

Bai Mei assessed the situation and finally sneered with a cold hum, "Hmph! The old man did not expect to encounter a master when coming to the little Shenjian Sect, but we are the Ghost Emperor’s favored ones. If he dares to detain us, what could he possibly do?"

With that, Elder Bai Mei exhaled a breath, lowered his head toward Yang Tian, and coldly shouted, "Release my elder at once, or I will bathe you in blood!"

However, although his words were powerful, they sank like a stone into the sea, without any echo.

Yang Tian lowered his head, gazing at the elder of the Old Ghost Sect captured by Di Hai. His expression was sorrowful and somber as he spoke, "You just said that in the presence of the strong, one must kneel like an ant. That’s the correct choice, isn’t it?"

"You!"

The captive elder’s face immediately contorted with rage upon hearing those words.

Moments ago, he had said those exact words as many Shenjian Sect disciples groveled before him. Little did he expect that in the blink of an eye, he himself would grovel before Yang Tian and hear his own words thrown back at him.

For an elder of the Ghost King Sect, this was an unimaginable humiliation.

But just as Old Bai Mei said, this elder was still a senior figure within the Ghost King Sect. He couldn’t believe that Yang Tian was truly capable of capturing him—how was that even possible?

The man immediately sneered coldly, "I didn’t think you’d have such audacity. But so what? Would you dare kill me? If you kill me, you will face the wrath of the Ghost King Sect. The power of the Ghost King Sect is enough to destroy your godhood and your very being!"

"This exalted one doesn’t dare to kill you?"

Yang Tian chuckled lightly at this, lifting his gaze as he said calmly, "Actually, this humble one believes what you said earlier was incorrect."

"Incorrect? What... What do you mean?" the man asked in confusion.

Yang Tian’s voice remained indifferent as he said, "This humble one believes perhaps simply stomping you underfoot would be better.

"Killing you, for what?"

Hearing Yang Tian’s dispassionate words, rage caused Elder Bai Mei’s entire body to tremble uncontrollably.

Who were they?

They were one of the most powerful and prestigious clans in the Cultivation World, one of the Three Great Clans—the Ghost King Clan!

The name of the Ghost King Sect was like a golden banner in this world of cultivation. Who wouldn’t tremble in fear upon hearing this name?

Who wouldn’t pay their respects upon seeing the Ghost King Sect?

Yet now, right in front of his eyes, Yang Tian had slaughtered two Ghost King Sect elders without even blinking!

If he included Elder Ghost, it meant three Ghost King Sect elders had perished at Yang Tian’s hands. What kind of monstrous reality was this? How could Elder Bai Mei not be enraged?

"You’re courting death!"

In an instant, Elder Bai Mei’s furious roar resounded like thunder, shaking heaven and earth. A surge of blue flames erupted from his body, shooting straight into the sky.

As the flames surged upward, an oppressive force of Unity of Heaven and Man descended like Mount Taishan, crushing down upon Shenjian Sect with unstoppable might.

Clearly, Elder Bai Mei, a true Ghost Emperor-level powerhouse in the late stages of Tribulation, was finally enraged!

Under such pressure, the disciples of Shenjian Sect turned pale, and the elders of Shenjian Sect clenched their jaws, their bodies trembling ever so slightly.

Only Yang Tian and Di Hai remained calm amidst the storm, their faces devoid of expression.

"Master, allow me to handle this!"

Seeing Bai Mei in a fury, Di Hai let out a low grunt.

As someone who had sworn loyalty to Yang Tian, and to mask Yang Tian’s true identity, he had willingly changed his name and now posed as an elder of the Divine Sword Sect.

Nonetheless, he was once one of the two kings of the Chaotic City, a figure no weaker than Elder Bai Mei in the late stages of Tribulation.

Why would he fear Elder Bai Mei’s rage?

But Yang Tian simply shook his head lightly. With measured steps, he walked boldly into the air, his hands clasped behind him. He strode toward the enraged Elder Bai Mei as if the formidable and imposing figure before him was nothing more than grass, a tree, or a mere wisp of air—completely beneath notice, devoid of weight or dignity.

"Arrogant whelp, watch as this elder seizes your soul and condemns you to eternal misery!"

Seeing Yang Tian’s indifferent gaze, Elder Bai Mei sneered coldly. In that instant, a strange, otherworldly light glinted in his eyes, shooting straight toward Yang Tian.

This was a supreme technique of the Ghost King Sect, capable of directly wounding a person’s soul.

"An ant is, after all, just an ant!"

Facing the dazzling glow in Elder Bai Mei’s eyes, Yang Tian merely smiled faintly. But as he opened his eyes, his pupils turned endlessly black, as if they could engulf the entire world in impenetrable darkness.

In that moment, the light from Elder Bai Mei’s eyes struck Yang Tian’s black pupils directly.

"Foolish!"

Seeing Yang Tian dare to meet his gaze head-on, Elder Bai Mei’s face twisted into a sneer of disdain.

It must be known that the Eye Demon technique was grounded in a direct contest of spiritual power!

When it came to spiritual power, the Ghost King Sect, revered as a holy land for Ghost God cultivation, was unrivaled.

In the entire Cultivation Realm, there was no faction or sect that dared challenge the Ghost King Sect in matters of spiritual power!

Even when compared solely on spiritual power, the other two of the Three Great Clans—Jianling Sect and Qingling Sect—could only bow their heads in submission before the Ghost King Sect.

Yet now, Yang Tian had the audacity to meet his gaze directly and engage in a battle of spiritual power. Wasn’t this utter ignorance?

In Elder Bai Mei’s mind, the victor had already been decided in this instant!

"Haha! Despite the strange essence and strength within you, you are no true disciple of a great sect, and you’re far too young! How could you possibly know the depth of my Ghost Sect’s heritage or the true strength of Elder Bai Mei? Therefore... you can die!"
