Chapter 874: Chapter 871: The Former Crocodile Turtle, The Present Old Dog

“Who dares to disturb my slumber?”

A deep, ancient voice slowly emanated, vast and echoing, shaking people to their core.

When this voice sounded, it directly incinerated the mountains and rivers within a million miles!

The seemingly ordinary red flames appeared capable of burning everything, unstoppable by anything!

But when the fiery flames reached a certain Lingxiu Mountain, they halted completely.

On that mountain peak, there was an enormous drum a thousand feet tall.

Above the drum, a young man in a black robe stood, one hand behind his back and the other holding a drumstick, looking calmly at the gargantuan creature.

“A mere little turtle dares to call itself ‘I’?”

Ye Xuan smiled indifferently and said leisurely, “Indeed, the era has truly, goddamned, changed.”

“Hmm?”

Ye Xuan’s words surprised the giant beast within the flames a little. Its eyes turned and fixed on Ye Xuan, noticing the drumstick in Ye Xuan’s hand and seeing the Luotian Drum.

“Was it you, this ant, that disturbed my sleep?”

The giant beast, known to Zuo Yishan as the Burning Sky Ancestor, said slowly.

Waves of flames seemed affected, transforming into fiery tornadoes, rushing towards the Lingxiu Mountain where Ye Xuan stood.

Boom————

The fiery tornadoes swept in, crashing directly against the mountain, unleashing terrifying waves.

However, no matter how the fiery tornadoes attacked, the mountain remained unmoved.

As steady as Mount Tai.

This made Zuo Yishan, tense above the Nine Heavens, slightly relieved, but he was still on guard because he knew the Burning Sky Ancestor hadn’t truly acted yet.

“Great-grandfather, he…” Zuo Yangming looked at Ye Xuan below, blocking the Burning Sky Ancestor’s attack, momentarily unsure of what to make of it.

“Young Master Ye Xuan is not as simple as you think.” Zuo Yishan said softly.

Zuo Yangming’s expression was complex, his heart filled with countless emotions, and he murmured, “Is this that saying, the Ten Heaven Suppressing Ancient Orders, the tenth Heaven Suppressing Ancient Order, resides not in the order but in the person.”

“Indeed.” Zuo Yishan nodded slightly.

The ten Heaven Suppressing Ancient Orders, the tenth appears in a person, not an order.

At this moment, Zuo Yangming truly understood the meaning of this phrase.

“What on earth is his origin…” Zuo Yangming’s heart was filled with intense curiosity.

It was simply unbelievable.

That ancestral teaching was left by the ancestor of the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Emperor.

What does this represent…

Zuo Yangming suddenly felt fortunate, fortunate that he hadn’t chosen to reveal himself to kill Ye Xuan after witnessing his extraordinariness. Otherwise, who knows what might have happened.

“Hmm?” At this moment, Zuo Yangming’s expression suddenly tensed, focusing intently below.

In the terrifying black hole covering a million miles, the flames burned the sky.

And within the blazing flames stood a gargantuan figure like a mountain.

It moved its body, causing the void to tremble.

The one called the Burning Sky Ancestor seemed captivated by that tiny ant above the drum.

“You are a bit special, and not of the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect.”

The Burning Sky Ancestor said slowly.

Ye Xuan looked at the Burning Sky Ancestor and said leisurely, “Why did Mu Yun leave you here?”

The Burning Sky Ancestor’s aura suddenly hardened, becoming even more terrifying. It glared at Ye Xuan, its voice suddenly filled with anger, “Daring to call the Emperor Mu by name, you deserve death!”

Rumble————

In an instant, endless flames filled the sky, turning the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect into a sea of fire.

Especially where Ye Xuan was, it received special attention, surrounding mountains turning to ash!

“Zuo Yishan, did you bring this person here? Are you betraying Emperor Mu?”

After doing all this, the Burning Sky Ancestor’s eyes turned, looking towards Zuo Yishan above the Nine Heavens, speaking deeply.

Zuo Yishan’s expression was grave, and he spoke slowly, “You’re joking. An old man like me from the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect has no qualification to serve Emperor Mu.”

The implication was clear: I, Zuo Yishan, belong to the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, not a dog of Emperor Mu.

As for the Burning Sky Ancestor saying Ye Xuan was brought by Zuo Yishan, Zuo Yishan wasn’t foolish; he avoided this question, choosing not to answer.

Did Zuo Yishan bring Ye Xuan?

Of course not.

But also, yes.

He merely wanted to meet Ye Xuan, to confirm his identity; thus, you could say Ye Xuan was someone he brought.

Why say no then? It’s because once he learned Ye Xuan’s identity, Zuo Yishan had no qualifications to invite Emperor Ye.

It’s just that simple.

“Hmph, today your Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect will become an eternal sea of fire. I shall ensure this place burns for ten thousand years, with nothing surviving, as punishment for your disrespect towards Emperor Mu!”

The Burning Sky Ancestor, at this moment, was convinced of Zuo Yishan’s ‘rebellion’, speaking with a solemn voice.

The voice echoed continuously.

These words reached the ears of everyone in the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, causing turmoil immediately.

They had long seen the gigantic body of the Burning Sky Ancestor from afar and witnessed its terror. If it truly set out to annihilate their Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, what could they do?

“Everyone, stay calm. The ancestor must have a way to deal with this.”

Seeing the multitude of panicked disciples, Third Elder Ouyang Hongbo stepped forward to maintain control.

Dong————

And just as Ouyang Hongbo’s voice fell, another deep, majestic drumbeat resonated.

The drumbeat was like a clear stream flowing through everyone’s hearts, purifying their minds, calming their panic and bringing them to a curious stillness.

“It’s that drumbeat again…”

True Person Mo Yu muttered, looking towards the east, “There, who is casting this magic?”

“Do you even need to ask? It must be our ancestor intervening.” said one Elder with a smile.

“Such mighty power, indeed, only the ancestor could possess.” True Person Mo Yu didn’t refute.

However, Ouyang Hongbo and Great Elder Gu Qianqiu were deep in thought, feeling that it couldn’t be so simple.

The enormous creature claimed to be from Emperor Mu, conversing with the ancestor, and the Burning Sky Ancestor pointed out that the one taking action wasn’t from the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect.

All these elements seemed to suggest that the one acting was someone unexpected to them.

Who could it be…

If not for the ancestor’s decree, they would have desperately used their Divine Sense to probe the identity of the one taking action.

Too far separated, combined with the overwhelming presence of the Burning Sky Ancestor, they completely lost perception of that area, let alone know who it was.

“Is this drum a Great Emperor Immortal Weapon?”

As the third drumbeat sounded, the Burning Sky Ancestor looked towards Lingxiu Mountain once again, its eyes revealing a hint of surprise.

Seeing the unscathed mountain and the boy it considered an ant, the Burning Sky Ancestor’s heart sank slightly.

“Did Mu Yun teach you nothing else but how to be a good dog?”

Ye Xuan looked coldly at the Burning Sky Ancestor and said indifferently, “Oops, you’re not a dog, you’re a turtle.”

“The Burning Sky Alligator Turtle of yesteryear, now the Burning Sky Old Dog.”

“Today, your blood will proclaim to that traitor, the person he fears most…

“Has returned!”
