The person who spoke was a 27th-level Dao realm expert.
No matter how strong Kingslayer was, he had no power to resist this person.
The difference was too great.
This person was once a human king as well, and as such had the duty to support other human kings.
Fengkong was almost killed by Kingslayer back then, so taking revenge now would be justified.
Kingslayer felt a little nervous.
He was naturally not afraid of Fengkong, but if that person were to make a move, the situation would be different.
"Many thanks for Senior Brother's good intentions. Back then, it was only a misunderstanding."
Feng Kong cupped his hands in thanks.
The human kings of the later generations would usually address the human kings of the previous generations as senior brothers to indicate that they were of the same bloodline.
Kingslayer heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Fengkong with a friendly gaze.
"If you don't mind, then so be it. However, Kingslayer was indeed insolent and violated the dignity of the human kings back then. He must be taught a lesson."
He raised his hand and formed a fist. As he was about to hit Kingslayer…
"Ancestor Hong has already forgiven me. How dare you attack me, old thing? I'm close to Ancestor Hong," Kingslayer said hurriedly.
He did not want to be tortured in public.
He immediately used Hong Yuanchu as a shield.
The former human king was stunned, and did not attack.
"You dare to spout nonsense?"
What kind of person was Ancestor Hong?
He could be considered the strongest backer of the human king lineage.
He was the legendary human king who had led the rise of the human race and suppressed the demon and monster races.
"I am a man of my words! Hmph, if you don't believe me, you can ask Luo Xinbai."
"Also, my master is someone that even Ancestor Hong respects. Don't think that you're the only one with a backer," Kingslayer said as he straightened his back.
Hmph! He also had a backer.
Even Hong Yuanchu could not punish him as he wished!
The former human king's face darkened and he put down his hand. Those words could not be taken lightly.
Fengkong stared at Kingslayer.
Was the person that Kingslayer talked about the same one he was thinking about?
However, he did not recall Chu Xuan taking him in as a disciple.
Was this guy so thick-skinned?
In a daze, his memories returned to his youth. Back then, on the battlefield, Kingslayer was also a famous genius. The two of them were once comrades.
Back then, Kingslayer was also a person with skin as thick as a city wall.
He still remembered that he shamelessly went to curry favor with a Heaven realm expert and got a lot of benefits.
It was only after he cultivated the Extreme Dao that he became decisive in killing and lost the shamelessness he had when he was young.
"Kingslayer? Is he really your master?"
Seeing Fengkong's questioning gaze, Kingslayer briefly felt a pang of guilt. Then, he patted his chest and said, "Of course he's my master!"
"You're just as shameless as you were when you were young," Fengkong sighed.
"Compared to these old guys, I'm just a young man."
Kingslayer looked at the group of elders with disdain.
His words attracted a lot of unfriendly gazes.
Many experts looked at Kingslayer with cautious expressions.
Did this guy have a Daoyuan realm expert backer?
It was no wonder he grew to this level. It seemed that there was someone supporting the Extreme Dao, and that this person was a powerful Daoyuan realm expert.
Boom!
Three days later, the gate opened a foot wide.
Through the crack of the door, one could see the ancient path that led to an unknown place.
They could vaguely hear terrifying roars coming from afar.
At the other end of the ancient path, some living beings of the abyss had already stepped onto the ancient path and were heading toward the nine zones.
The terrifying roars seemed to be filled with violence and sin.
Many experts' expressions turned grave.
This trip was full of dangers and countless opportunities.
Who could kill their way into the abyss?
Who would dare to charge into the abyss?
In the chaos abyss, there had to be terrifying experts.
A figure appeared silently.
She was dressed in black and had a beautiful, but expressionless face.
Her eyes seemed to contain an unknown, profound charm of the Great Dao.
Hei Yue!
Ding Yue's mouth was wide open, and he was completely dumbfounded.
26th level of the Dao realm!
Hei Yue was actually the most powerful one among the disciples.
"Junior Sister, why are you so strong?"
Ding Yue did not feel good.
He was the eldest senior brother, but he had been surpassed by his junior sister.
Although Chu Xuan did not give them a ranking, according to the usual practice, the first one to enter was naturally the eldest brother.
In order to live up to his supposed title, he had put in all his effort and constantly improved his cultivation. He wanted to become the strongest one among his fellow disciples.
Only then would he be worthy of the position of the eldest brother.
"My innate divine soul has been restored," Hei Yue replied softly.
Although her innate divine soul had been restored, Hei Yue still did display her emotions openly. She was already used to her previous expressionless self.
Ding Yue suddenly stopped.
He naturally knew about Hei Yue's innate divine soul.
He also knew about the grudge between her and the Tianyue Tower.
Her innate divine soul had already been fixed when she became Chu Xuan's disciple, so since Hei Yue was mentioning it again now, it meant that the missing part of her divine soul had been found and returned to her.
It was precisely because of this that such a huge transformation had occurred.
"Congratulations, Junior Sister."
The innate divine soul was indeed extraordinary.
Ding Yue looked at the ancient path with a determined look in his eyes. Only his junior sister had surpassed him.
The others were not as good as him.
He was still worthy of the title of eldest senior brother.
This time, he had to rise up and catch up to his junior sister!
The senior and junior brothers and sisters talked about the past through voice transmission, each sharing their own experiences about their transformation. When they outlined the fact that they had inscribed Great Dao runes, they unexpectedly discovered that this was a commonality between all of them.
Chu Pingfan also joined in.
Hei Yue did not comprehend or inscribe a Great Dao rune, but her innate divine soul was the embryonic form of the laws.
Therefore, she also shared some of her comprehension of the laws.
Ji Dexin was shocked to see Hei Yue. He had made the right choice.
This sister of his was extraordinary.
"Tianyue Tower has already perished. Little sister, are you going to come back to the Ji family?"
Ji Dexin asked with a sigh.
"What do you think?"
Hei Yue did not hate this brother of hers.
He had once protected her.
Of course, she did not have any deep feelings for him.
No matter what, he was still her elder brother and had protected her several times.
Had it not been for Ji Dexin's dominance and power, she would have had to pay a heavy price to escape Tianyue Tower's pursuit.
Ji Dexin nodded and did not say anything.
Heiyue hesitated for a moment and sent a message to Ji Dexin, "The ancient path leads to an abyss. Although there are opportunities, the danger inside is real. You have to be careful when dealing with it."
"I understand, thank you."
Ji Dexin felt very assured. His sister still cared for him.
Hei Yue thought of what Chu Xuan had said, which was that Ji Dexin was the reincarnation of a half-saint of the celestial. She hesitated for a moment, but did not ask Chu Xuan to clarify.
Ji Dexin's identity was not important.
He had once protected her, and now that she had the chance to protect him through a crisis. That was enough.
As for what Ji Dexin's goal was, it did not matter.
"The ancient path might have been triggered when my innate divine soul was restored. You all have to be careful."
Hei Yue continued to communicate with Ding Yue and the others.
"Really?"
Ding Yue and his fellow disciples were shocked.
If the ancient path was triggered by her, then her innate divine soul was too terrifying.
"It should be the case. As for why it was triggered, I'm not too sure. Master didn't mention it."
Hei Yue nodded.
"Junior Sister, be careful. I'm afraid there will be experts watching you," Ding Yue said with a serious expression.
"It doesn't matter. As long as we don't leave the ancient path, those experts won't be able to enter."
Hei Yue was not too worried about this.
Moreover, even if there were experts targeting her, her master would deal with them, right?
