Chapter 68: Uncovering the Ruthless Lineage

Surrounded by many powerful men from the Taixuan Sect, the Green Emperor's heart beat slowly, and a red divine light fell down, covering an area of ​​several miles in radius, protecting Hua Tiandu's three masters and apprentices, Ji Haoyue, and Li Xiaoman.

"boom!"

The star peaks in the distance were also urged to rise up from the ground, hanging high in the air, emitting an unparalleled glow, as if they were about to suppress something in the next moment.

In this tense atmosphere, the Ji family elders, together with a group of seniors behind them, were all trembling with fear, fearing that a fight would break out between the two sides and implicate the two geniuses in the family.

"Are there any misunderstandings between the two fellow Taoists? If there is any misunderstanding, just resolve it. Why do it have to be like this?" Ji Hong, the old man of the Ji family, who was also Ji Ziyue's great-grandfather, had to step out to mediate, fearing that the two younger generations of the family would die here.

"Fellow Daoist Ji Hong, you have seen all these things. If this person had not been too bullying, why would my Taixuan Sect have started a war?" The Lord of Xingfeng said coldly.

Compared to before, his attitude and words have improved a little.

It was not that a conscience suddenly arose in his heart, but that he was greatly intimidated by the fire region of over a hundred miles in the sky and the Heart of the Green Emperor.

If this disaster is not handled properly, the entire Taixuan Sect will be completely wiped out.

“Fellow Daoist Tiandu, you are Ziyue’s master, and he is also a benefactor of my Ji family!” Seeing that the attitude of the Lord of Xingfeng had improved, Ji Hong hurried to appease Hua Tiandu.

"Fellow Daoist Tiandu, the Lord of Xingfeng and I are close friends. In my opinion, why don't you both sit down and talk first?"

"If the misunderstanding can be resolved, wouldn't everyone be happy?"

"If not, today's battle will surely result in rivers of blood and countless lives lost. I'm afraid we will be criticized by people all over the world and left with a bad reputation!"

"Fellow Daoist Hua, even if you don't consider yourself, you should at least consider your two disciples, right? Their cultivation is low, and they can't withstand the aftermath of the war!"

……

Ji Hong's earnest advice was also well-reasoned and well-founded.

"Since Zi Yue calls you grandpa, I have to give you face." Hua Tiandu's expression changed, "Then let's first see whether there is a 'misunderstanding' between me and Taixuanmen!"

At that moment, his mind moved, and the Green Emperor's heart shook. Two blood-red holy lights flowed out, making everyone feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

As countless people watched, a stream of blood flew into Li Xiaoman's body, waking her up.

The other blood energy was much more domineering. With lightning speed, it directly imprisoned the Saint Yaoguang in the distance within the blood-colored light shield and moved to the side of Li Xiaoman.

"Think twice, fellow Daoist!" The mighty one of Yaoguang Holy Land shouted, "Fellow Daoist, please do not make an irreparable mistake due to a momentary impulse!"

Everyone else was a little confused. This mysterious Taoist was clearly confronting the Taixuan Sect, so how could he have captured Saint Yaoguang?

Isn’t this scene chaotic enough?
"Don't worry, everyone. I am the head of a sect. How could I embarrass a woman?" Hua Tiandu said generously, "I detained her here just to clarify some things."

After that, he turned his gaze to Li Xiaoman, who had remained quiet after waking up, and asked, "Do you still recognize me?"

"Of course I recognize him!" Li Xiaoman moved her body from a sitting position to a kneeling position, and saluted respectfully. "Master, you saved my life twice. How dare I be ungrateful?"

"Thank you, Taoist Priest, for saving me from the water and fire and letting me escape from the sea of ​​suffering!"

"Okay!" Hua Tian nodded with satisfaction, "Since you still have a conscience, I will fulfill my original promise."

"Let me ask you, do you still want to become my disciple?"

Hearing this question, Li Xiaoman's originally fearful heart immediately calmed down a bit, "Xiaoman is so lucky to be able to become Master's disciple!"

"Hahaha~"

Hua Tiandu laughed three times and said, "From now on, you will be my third disciple after Zi Yue, and you will be an outer disciple of my Yuhua Sect."

"Since you have already become my disciple, I will ask you a few questions. You must answer truthfully without any deception!" "Yes! I will obey your orders!" Li Xiaoman replied respectfully.

"In front of these seniors, tell me whether the young grandson of the Star Peak Lord, Hua Yunfei, has practiced the Heaven Devouring Demon Art? Is he related to that ruthless man?"

When this question was asked, not only Hua Yunfei and the Lord of Xingfeng trembled all over, but even the people from other major forces were horrified.

“Swallow…the…devil…power…”

"A lineage of ruthless people?"

All the powerful people present were well-educated and they all recalled the records in ancient books.

"The Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Art is a tradition passed down by the ruthless emperor."

"This technique is called a demonic technique because it is too cruel and bloody. It requires the consumption of various special physiques to achieve perfection. It can be called a 'man-eating' technique. It is the devil among the devils! The outlier among the outliers!"

"Rumor has it that countless years ago, the ruthless sect was wiped out by several major holy places. I didn't expect that after countless years, it would appear again!"

……

Under the gaze of everyone, Li Xiaoman fell silent.

"Why? Is this question difficult to answer?"

"I saw you and Hua Yunfei have a close relationship before. Don't you know this problem?"

"If you don't know, forget it. I won't make things difficult for you."

Hua Tiandu put his hand on the top of Li Xiaoman's head and slowly stroked her hair, as if he was comforting this disciple, with a very tolerant look on his face.

Li Xiaoman's body trembled noticeably. She lowered her head and closed her eyes tightly. No one could see what was in her heart.

But after a moment, she opened her eyes, looked at Hua Tiandu, and said with courage: "Disciple dare not deceive Master, Hua Yunfei has indeed cultivated the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art!"

"He also passed on some of his magic skills to the Crocodile Ancestor Divine Embryo!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there were cries of surprise from the crowd.

People from several major forces looked at the Lord of Xingfeng and Hua Yunfei behind him with unfriendly eyes.

This is because countless years ago, their ancestors had participated in the battle that exterminated the ruthless sect, and the two sides were in a fight to the death.

"She is lying! How can she, a cultivator from the Secret Realm of Wheel Sea, recognize the Heaven-Devouring Demon Art?" The Lord of Star Peak's face turned pale and he quickly explained to the people from the major forces around him.

Then, he looked at Li Xiaoman and asked, "Your origins were unknown at the beginning. If it weren't for my kindness in taking you in, how could you be in this situation now?"

"As a disciple of Xingfeng, is this how you repay the sect?"

Under the repeated questioning of the Lord of Star Peak, Li Xiaoman raised her head and looked into the distance. She noticed Hua Yunfei's gaze, and a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes. Finally, she lowered her head and fell silent again.

Seeing this scene, Hua Tiandu's mouth curled up slightly, and he withdrew his hand and put it behind his back.

He looked at the well-behaved Saint Yaoguang - Yao Xi, who was standing beside him, and used his internal energy to draw a lifelike portrait in the air. It was the mysterious man who had ambushed him in the Fire Region.

"Do you know this person?"

"This boy has achieved a vision, so he must be no unknown person. Is he from your Yaoguang Holy Land?"

"Say!"
