Chapter 1471: Chuifeng God Emperor
CHAPTER 1471: CHAPTER 1471: CHUIFENG GOD EMPEROR
The emotions in the hearts of Master Ma Zhi and others were quite strange, even they found it hard to describe.
Before the duel between Saint Master Jing Yan and Kunlong Mountain Master, deep in their subconscious, they seemed to want to see Jing Yan make a fool of himself as the Saint Master. They didn’t want to acknowledge Jing Yan’s status as the Saint Master, nor did they want to be led by him. But after Saint Master Jing Yan killed Kunlong Mountain Master, they didn’t feel the imagined sense of loss or anger.
Perhaps, deep down, they didn’t want the All Paths Spirit Mountain’s branch to fall completely. The emergence of a strong Saint Master like Jing Yan might not be entirely a bad thing.
However, asking them to immediately change their previous intentions is impossible. The inertia is too great to change all at once, and it’s not something that one or two people can decide to alter.
During the Wandao Assembly, when Jing Yan personally executed the traitor Kunlong, he also didn’t think he could immediately unite the four Spirit Mountains with the main branch Spirit Mountain to jointly resist the Wanbao Divine Hall. Jing Yan was fully aware that achieving this couldn’t be done in a single step, nor could it be rushed.
Hovering in the sky, after collecting Kunlong’s leftover resources, Jing Yan didn’t immediately return to the All Paths Square.
Jing Yan’s gaze was directed towards the far-off sky, his expression grave.
A presence was concealed in the distance.
Although this presence was very faint and almost undetectable, Jing Yan still sensed its existence.
The person corresponding to this presence was undoubtedly extremely powerful, powerful enough to make Jing Yan hold his breath and focus intently.
Jing Yan didn’t know who this person was, whether they were an enemy or a friend.
However, the fact that this person didn’t intervene to save Kunlong when Jing Yan killed him made Jing Yan feel somewhat relieved.
During the process of killing Kunlong, Jing Yan had already sensed this hidden presence. However, as he was then engaged in a duel with Kunlong, he temporarily acted as if this presence did not exist.
"Why hasn’t the Holy Master returned yet?"
"Yeah! With Kunlong dead, what’s the Holy Master still doing there?"
"Look, the Holy Master seems to be staring in one direction. Could there be someone hiding there?"
"It’s really so! But... who could it be?"
The elders of the All Paths Spirit Mountain suppressed the excitement and elation from Jing Yan’s killing of Kunlong, and their expressions became serious and contemplative.
The elders of the All Paths Spirit Mountain were indeed very excited a moment ago. They didn’t expect Saint Master Jing Yan’s strength to be so formidable. That Kunlong Mountain Master, a Divine Sovereign level God Lord, who had commanded the Northern Branch Spirit Mountain for countless years, was effortlessly slain by Saint Master Jing Yan.
It was only after Kunlong Mountain Master’s death did they realize how truly powerful their Saint Master was, far beyond what they had imagined.
Ruo Bing Supreme Elder’s expression was also somewhat awkward. Previously, he wanted to replace Saint Master Jing Yan to face off against Kunlong. In retrospect, this turned out to be completely unnecessary.
"Friend, since you’re here, why not show yourself?"
Jing Yan, with focused eyes, spoke, his voice slowly spreading.
Upon hearing Jing Yan’s voice, everyone in the All Paths Square was finally certain that there indeed was someone hiding in that spot. Surprisingly, none of them had noticed.
Then, as Jing Yan finished speaking, the space in that region suddenly twisted. Numerous law patterns emerged and transformed. A silhouette began to gradually become clear.
Seeing the figure emerge, the martial artists in the All Paths Square were all stunned. There truly was someone hidden in that place. It wasn’t far from the All Paths Square, yet none of them had noticed. If not for Saint Master Jing Yan, they might still be unaware of a martial artist being hidden there even now.
"I have long heard of Saint Master Jing Yan, and seeing you today, it is indeed extraordinary," the now-visible figure said.
This person appeared extremely old, with even their body slightly hunched. But beneath this aged exterior hid a power that made even Jing Yan’s soul tremble.
Within the space surrounding this body, the foundational and Order Laws seemed to possess life, happily circulating. In that region, near the old man, it was as if it was another world.
"This..."
"Chuifeng God Emperor?"
"Isn’t this Chuifeng God Emperor?"
The martial artists in the All Paths Square cried out in surprise upon seeing the old man in the sky.
Seeing this, Master Ma Zhi of the Eastern Branch Spirit Mountain also widened his eyes.
He exclaimed, "Chuifeng Supreme Elder, why have you come? Didn’t you say you weren’t interested in joining the commotion?"
Master Ma Zhi was quite surprised by the arrival of Chuifeng God Emperor.
Before setting out to attend the Wandao Assembly, he had specifically asked Chuifeng Supreme Elder, yet Chuifeng had no intention of coming. Chuifeng was also the only Divine Emperor strong person in the entire All Paths Sacred Land currently.
Previously, Chuifeng God Emperor seldom participated in various events within the All Paths Sacred Land. Although he was in the Eastern Branch Spirit Mountain, he never acted oppressively towards the main branch Spirit Mountain.
Jing Yan listened to the whispers of the martial artists in the All Paths Square and understood that the old man opposite him was indeed Chuifeng God Emperor.
Regarding Chuifeng God Emperor, Jing Yan had learned about him previously. The elders of the main branch Spirit Mountain had introduced Jing Yan to the Chuifeng God Emperor of the Eastern Branch Spirit Mountain. Jing Yan did not expect that Chuifeng God Emperor would come.
Looking at the Chuifeng God Emperor opposite him, Jing Yan’s eyes glinted.
"So it’s Elder Chui Feng, esteemed and well-known!" Jing Yan cupped his hands.
"Holy Master, you’re too kind. I apologize for not notifying you in advance of my visit," Chuifeng God Emperor said in a calm tone.
"Elder Chui Feng you flatter me! It’s truly an honor to have you visit personally, how could I take offense?" Jing Yan said with a laugh.
Up to this point, Jing Yan was still uncertain about Chuifeng God Emperor’s attitude. Hence, even though he spoke politely, he was cautious. Before him was indeed a real Divine Emperor strong person, an apex existence in the All Paths World, at the same level as Master Zhan Yue God Emperor, a formidable figure.
If Chuifeng God Emperor bore animosity towards him, then Jing Yan would have to be wary.
Even though Jing Yan was strong enough to effortlessly kill Kunlong God Sovereign, he knew that if he were to face a Divine Emperor strong person, he might still find it difficult.
The people of the All Paths Spirit Mountain, such as Ruo Bing and others, also gazed at Chuifeng God Emperor with tense eyes. Jing Yan was unclear about Chuifeng God Emperor’s attitude, and they were equally unclear.
If Chuifeng God Emperor were to attack the Holy Master, then what should they do?
