The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2502: Chapter 2502: Master’s Judgment

Gao Zhenjiang was also feeling frustrated.

He, Gao Zhenjiang, was at least a somewhat influential figure within the Heavenly Domain.

Yet Wu Ling and the others questioned him to his face, which was a form of insult.

”Elder Gao, what do you mean by this? You just said you wanted to prove that the Hongmeng Cultivation Tower is the Heavenly Cultivation Tower, and now you say it’s not, expecting us to believe you. Isn’t this contradictory?” Sima Rongjie said loudly.

”Heh, I think Elder Gao is getting a bit muddled, right? Elder Gao Zhenjiang, if I were you, I would leave Hongmeng City immediately. Some matters, even with the intervention of the Golden Toad Commerce, won’t benefit at all.” Chai Chong sneered.

”Dear young friends, may I say a word first?”

This time, it was Master Ru Yueyi who spoke.

Although Gao Zhenjiang asked him to wait a moment, he naturally moved forward a bit after hearing the debate outside the Hongmeng Cultivation Tower. At this time, he interjected and said this.

As soon as Ru Yueyi spoke, the eyes of everyone present shifted to him.

”Old man, where did you pop out from?” Someone beside Sima Rongjie fixed their gaze on Ru Yueyi, shouting harshly.

Clearly, many in the group were displeased with Ru Yueyi’s ”dear young friends” greeting. These individuals weren’t ordinary cultivators; they held high positions in their respective powers. Suddenly emerging and addressing them as young friends, some might not mind, but certainly, some wouldn’t be pleased.

Ru Yueyi’s pupils slightly contracted.

Old man?

He indeed was an old man, but there are very few in the world who would dare call him that to his face. Even leaders of superpowers like the Golden Toad Commerce are mostly respectful before him.

”Old thing, get lost! Is there a place for you to speak here?” Chai Chong waved his hand at Ru Yueyi as if shooing a fly away.

Even Sima Rongjie, upon seeing Ru Yueyi, had a change in expression. He felt this person looked somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

Master Ru Yueyi’s name is undoubtedly legendary within the Heavenly Domain. However, not many truly recognize Ru Yueyi himself. Generally speaking, one would need to have a very high status to see Master Ru Yueyi in person. How could ordinary cultivators have the opportunity to meet Ru Yueyi?

It’s quite normal for Chai Chong and others not to recognize Ru Yueyi.

Even Sima Rongjie, an important member of the Sima Family, hadn’t seen Ru Yueyi in person but had seen his image, leaving some impression in his mind. He pondered, recalling where he might have seen this elder.

”A bunch of foolish things, really knowing no better. Daring to act wildly before Senior Ru Yueyi!” Gao Zhenjiang suddenly shouted, rebuking Sima Rongjie’s group angrily.

”Haha, Ru Yueyi is...” Chai Chong started laughing but his voice suddenly vanished.

He had already remembered, realizing he had heard of the name Ru Yueyi before.

Chai Chong isn’t normally that irritable; it was just that he was being heavily suppressed by City Lord Jing Yan here and couldn’t shout against him. But he wasn’t so afraid of Gao Zhenjiang. Although his strength was far inferior to Gao Zhenjiang, he was from the Eight Gods Pill Sect. Gao Zhenjiang wouldn’t dare kill him easily, even if he had ten times the courage.

However, as he realized the significance behind the name Ru Yueyi, he instantly felt a shiver sweep through his entire body.

Not only him but Sima Rongjie also trembled.

The cultivator who had just called Ru Yueyi ”old man” now seemed half a head shorter, holding his breath.

”Greetings, Master!” Sima Rongjie quickly reacted, bowing to Ru Yueyi in respect.

”Master, I am Sima Rongjie of the Sima Family. Our Sima Clan Leader often mentions you, Elder.” Sima Rongjie was extremely respectful in attitude.

Master Ru Yueyi nodded at Sima Rongjie and merely said, ”Good!”

”You all need not feel uneasy. I came this time just to experience the cultivation room of the Hongmeng Cultivation Tower. Meeting you is purely coincidental. The proof that Gao Zhenjiang mentioned earlier, I believe, was to have me verify it.” Ru Yueyi’s face resumed a kindly expression as he chuckled lightly.

”Master, I... I didn’t know it was you earlier. I...” Chai Chong spoke tremblingly.

In the Heavenly Domain, there are very few people or forces that the Eight Gods Pill Sect dare not offend, and Master Ru Yueyi and the Array Formation Family behind him are definitely among them.

Master Ru Yueyi waved his hand, not saying much more.

”Master, I’ve long heard of your great name, but I’ve never had the chance to visit. It’s truly a fortune for my Hongmeng City for you to come here.” Jing Yan cupped his hands to Ru Yueyi and said.

”City Lord Jing Yan, you’re too kind,” Ru Yueyi glanced at Jing Yan.

His attitude towards Jing Yan was neither warm nor cold.

It’s quite usual, as Ru Yueyi and Jing Yan had no particularly close relationship. If it weren’t for Gao Zhenjiang’s persistent requests, he, Ru Yueyi, would not likely have come to Hongmeng City to experience any Heavenly Cultivation Tower. To put it plainly, he came for the sake of Gao Zhenjiang and had nothing to do with Jing Yan, the City Lord of Hongmeng City.

”City Lord Jing Yan, now that I’m here, if possible, I’d like to experience your Hongmeng City’s cultivation room right away,” Ru Yueyi slowly stated.

Ru Yueyi also knew Jing Yan was exceptionally powerful; the matter of Jing Yan slaying four Red-Clothed Killing Stars of Yama Palace was something someone of Ru Yueyi’s stature certainly was aware of. However, he wouldn’t treat Jing Yan with any special attitude because of it.

With influence reaching Ru Yueyi’s level, there really is no need to look at anyone else’s expressions. If he didn’t want to come to Hongmeng City, even if Jing Yan visited him personally, he wouldn’t agree.

”Sure!” Jing Yan nodded.

Jing Yan looked at Sima Rongjie and the others and said, ”City Lord Sima, and you idiots! Now, you’d best leave my Hongmeng City. If you insist on staying, once Master Ru confirms through his experience that the Hongmeng Cultivation Tower is indeed a Heavenly Cultivation Tower, my attitude will not be as courteous as it is now!”

Jing Yan’s voice carried a trace of coldness.

However, since Sima Rongjie and the others had come, it wasn’t possible for them to leave easily. Even with Master Ru Yueyi’s arrival, they had no plans of retreating just yet. Master Ru Yueyi hasn’t confirmed or determined the level of the Hongmeng Cultivation Tower, has he? Sima Rongjie and the others were quite sure the Hongmeng Cultivation Tower couldn’t be a Heavenly Cultivation Tower. With Master Ru Yueyi’s judgment that the Hongmeng Cultivation Tower wasn’t a Heavenly Cultivation Tower, the Hongmeng Cultivation Tower would truly have no chance of recovery.
