Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 260: Chapter 259: Yuani Ling’s Fury

As Lin Yuan’s words fell, the face of the Grand Elder of Jade Void Palace, transformed into a human visage, immediately widened its eyes, a describable freezing chill suddenly erupted in the void.

That chill, piercing to the core, seemed to freeze everything. Everyone present found it somewhat difficult to breathe, only characters like the Sect Masters of First-Class Sects could breathe a little more easily.

“Say that again?” the Grand Elder of Jade Void Palace spat out, word by word.

Lin Yuan’s body trembled, but he finally said, “Dao Ye is dead.”

“Impossible!”

The Grand Elder roared angrily, “Dao Ye is my Direct Disciple. He was about to be promoted to Daozi. I had granted him several top-notch Purple Gold Level equipment and even a Holy Spirit Level weapon. Even people from other Super Sects couldn’t possibly injure him. How could he die?”

The others all remained silent, their mouths tightly shut, as if they had swallowed a fly.

They too couldn’t believe Dao Ye was dead, as in the past at the Gate of Deer Chasing, even the least fortunate among the Top Ten Super Sects hadn’t encountered death, had they?

That’s a Super Sect!

They had just been endlessly flattering, praising how formidable Dao Ye was, how powerful he was, and what he would be like after coming out. Yet, in the blink of an eye, Dao Ye was already dead…

“If you dare to deceive me, I will kill you first!”

The Grand Elder’s gaze unwaveringly fixed on Lin Yuan, and as his words fell, an indescribable pressure surged violently.

Lin Yuan was like being pressed down by tens of thousands of mountains, his face paled instantly, he staggered backward, and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

“Yuani Ling, this place is the domain of the Sect of the Battle God. What are you doing here causing a commotion?!”

Just when Lin Yuan couldn’t hold on any longer, a loud shout suddenly echoed from a distance, and immediately after, the tremendous pressure released by the Grand Elder, Yuani Ling, shattered with a bang, tearing many cracks in the void instantaneously.

“I have seen Protector Hann Yue.”

Upon seeing the newcomer, Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly paid his respects respectfully; everyone else bent down as well.

This person who shouted loudly was none other than one of the four protectors of the Super Sect, the Sect of the Battle God — Hann Yue.

“Hann Yue, you a deputy of the Sect of the Battle God, dare to play tricks on me!” Yuani Ling exclaimed.

“I am not playing tricks on you; everything I said is true!”

Seeing Hann Yue arrive, Lin Yuan also felt a bit more confident and said, “Indeed, Dao Ye is dead. The Princess of Peace personally witnessed his death and even brought his head out of the Gate of Deer Chasing. If you don’t believe it, Grand Elder, you can ask the Princess of Peace!”

“Dao Ye is my Direct Disciple. How could he possibly die?”

Yuani Ling still didn’t believe it, because he knew Dao Ye’s talent well, and it was precisely because of this talent that Yuani Ling was extremely fond of him. Thus, he didn’t believe Dao Ye could be dead.

Or rather, it’s not that he didn’t believe it, but rather… he didn’t want to believe it!

“Did you see it with your own eyes? If you dare to deceive me, I will search your soul!” Yuani Ling glared at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan shivered, displaying fear, and hastily retreated.

Soul Search?

If he really were subjected to a soul search, even if he didn’t die, he wouldn’t live much longer afterwards.

“You dare!”

Protector Hann Yue frowned and said, “Yuan Ling, today is the day I become the newly appointed protector of the Sect of the Battle God. If you truly wish to provoke me, I will personally visit the Jade Void Palace another day to spar with you thoroughly!”

Yuan Ling’s expression darkened, and he kept silent.

He didn’t want to instigate a war between the two Top Ten Super Sects, but he simply couldn’t accept the fact of Dao Ye’s death and thus displaced his anger onto Lin Yuan.

After a moment, Yuan Ling finally calmed down and coldly said, “You said that Dao Ye is dead and that you witnessed his death. Then tell me, who killed him?”

“A man named Liang Shaohui,” Lin Yuan said.

“Liang Shaohui?”

The Grand Elder frowned, “Is this person also someone who entered the Gate of Deer Chasing from the Dragon Martial Continent?”

“Yes, his cultivation base is so strong, it’s simply…”

“Boom!”

Before Lin Yuan could finish speaking, the void suddenly emitted a loud booming sound, and a giant hand seemed to abruptly swipe down at him.

“Protector, save me!” Lin Yuan’s face drastically changed. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

“Yuan Ling, are you truly intending to oppose my Sect of the Battle God?!”

As Protector Hann Yue spoke, he too rushed forward and struck with a palm.

Between the two of them, this seemingly simple strike was infused with indescribable massive force. Upon collision, they produced a thunderous roar, and the heavens were directly torn apart!

There was a terrifying burst of light from the center of the impact point, and all the void was shaken into nothingness. A massive black hole appeared in the entire sky, spreading an unknown distance, extremely horrifying.

“He is deceiving me!”

Yuan Ling snorted coldly, “If he had said that Dao Ye was killed by a giant beast within the Gate of Deer Chasing, I might have been inclined to believe him. But he claims that Dao Ye was killed by someone from the Dragon Martial Continent. If you were in my place, would you believe it?”

This he said to Protector Hann Yue.

The latter’s expression slightly darkened as he knew that Yuan Ling was right. The people from the Top Ten Super Sects of the Dragon Martial Continent were peak existences. Even if their talents did not surpass others, they had numerous methods capable of standing firm.

Besides, those who entered the Gate of Deer Chasing were geniuses, not mere strongmen. With Dao Ye possessing Purple Gold Level equipment and even Holy Spirit-Level weapons, how could he possibly be killed by someone?

“Most importantly, there were two beings at the Peak of the Dragon God Realm protecting Dao Ye. Even if Dao Ye truly was no match, with those two protecting him, not to mention, Dao Ye’s own strength is extremely strong. Even others from the Top Ten Super Sects couldn’t trouble him. If not deception, what is this?!” Yuan Ling continued.

“I haven’t lied to you. What benefit would there be for me in lying?”

Lin Yuan roared into the sky, “You didn’t witness that scene, naturally, you wouldn’t believe it. Even I can hardly believe it! But Liang Shaohui’s cultivation base is terrifyingly strong. Even after the two protectors at the Dragon God Realm Peak unleashed all their cultivation base, they were still instantly killed by Liang Shaohui. How could Dao Ye possibly escape from his grasp?”,

“Those two from the Dragon God Realm are also dead?” Protector Hann Yue showed doubt.

“Yes.”

Lin Yuan nodded, “I suspect that Liang Shaohui has already reached the Dragon Emperor Realm. He’s too strong, indescribably strong. Many people witnessed that scene, and actually, there’s Liushui Wuhen and Duanmu Ci as well!”

Suddenly, Lin Yuan remembered the two men, saying, “Liushui Wuhen and Duanmu Ci seem to have offended Liang Shaohui as well. After Liang Shaohui killed Dao Ye, he also captured these two in a Red Pouch. If you don’t believe me, you can inquire about it after the Gate of Deer Chasing closes, whether Liushui Wuhen and Duanmu Ci have come out!”
