Chapter 919: Killing the Rat
The pressure in the hallway spreads in the area by the time the others chase after the person had sneaked inside the Pill Tower. Even Hei Yu, Tan Shengyu and a few members of the Evernight Manor had followed the Pill Tower Master, the two Grand Elders back to the tower to find the last person who wanted to steal the legacy of the Divine Doctor. Who would have thought they would suffer realm suppression as soon as they entered the floor where the warehouse is located. Those who are early God King realm puke blood on the spot as they were unable to block this heavy aura that suddenly assaulted them as they came out of the elevator.
Ugh~
Among them only Tan Shengyu was unaffected and most of them felt the pressure of a false emperor.
"Wh-What happened to you guys?" Tan Shengyu asked, looking at his comrades falling on one knee even Hei Yu can barely stand up.
On the other hand, everyone looked at him like they were seeing a ghost, they all were face questioning him why he is unaffected by the pressure from the blind old man’s cultivation realm.
Hei Yu asked bewildered, "How come you are unaffected?"
"Are you truly in the God king realm?" Pill Tower Master Han Siyu asked in disbelief.
Tan Shengyu nodded his head and said, "Yes. I’ve just recently broken into the God King realm. Is there a problem? Also why are you suddenly kneeling? Do I need to kneel too? But the Mistress and my Master said, I can only kneel before them and my old man."
"You don’t feel pressure from someone’s realm coercion? Are you dumb or a monster?" Grand Elder Su asked while staring at Tan Shengyu with round eyes of disbelief.
Everyone was looking at Tan Shengyu like a monster. Only Grand Elder Li Houye was observing Tan Shengyu all over. After all, his god king realm cultivation isn’t fake. This false emperor realm coercion isn’t something a God king realm cultivators can bear. But the fact that Tan Shengyu is unaffected by the aura of their seniors is something they can see with their own eyes and it was definitely not faked. Then he noticed the two jade tokens hanging on Tan Shengyu’s waist and also screamed in shock.
The insignia of sun and moon. These are characters that are exclusive to two empires in the Core Region. The Immortal Sun Empire bears the crimson gold sun as their insignia while the moon insignia is something the ancient clan, the Yue Clan, owned. Moon bearing crest is something the Everlasting Moon Empire used as their own insignia. In the whole Immortal World no one used these two insignia unless they came from those two famous empires.
Upon seeing this jade token and the memory of him calling that young swordman’s man master and that quiet, yet commanding young lady in veil. He had an extremely terrifying guess in his mind, the kind that would make the whole Immortal Realm explode once it was exposed. His face turned pale and he had forgotten to resist the aura pressure on him and almost fell face first on the floor. If not for Tan Shengyu grabbing his arm, he might be kissing the ground by now.
Tan Shengyu after grabbing Grand Elder Li, said, "Elder Li, are you alright? Did you slip?"
Unexpectedly with the support of Tan Shengyu, Grand Elder Li felt that the pressure on him had disappeared. Under everyone’s gaze, Li Houye was able to stand straight without pressure.
Grand Elder Su Kan exclaimed, "Lao Li can you stand without feeling the pressure?"
"But the aura isn’t gone yet?" Pill Tower Master Han Siyu said.
On the other hand, the second to notice the anomaly on Tan Shengyu was Hei Yu. He reached a hand and grabbed Tan Shengyu’s other hand. Now two uncles and one grandpa were holding hands like children and the sight well it was something that can be hardly explained with words. However, the others realized something when they saw Hei Yu being able to move normally after grabbing Tan Shengyu’s hand.
Pill Tower Master Han Siyu realized something, he reached out to touch Grand Elder Li Houye’s hand and like he had expected, as long as there is some kind of connection with Tan Shengyu, something on him was capable of completely blocking the coercion from the blind old man’s high realm. Han Siyu and Hei Yu pulled some kind of rope from their storage and let the others hold on to it. The moment they did the pressure had lessened greatly as expected.
Suddenly, they all looked at Tan Shengyu, looking at something strange and something that cannot be explained by logic. These stares creepy out the hell of Tan Shengyu.
Trembling for a moment, Tan Shengyu said, "Stop looking like that! I didn’t do anything. Really!!"
Sigh~
"Alright. Stop teasing him. Let’s go. By now Senior Kun should have killed the rat," said Pill Tower Master Tan Shengyu.
They resume their intention to head to the warehouse. As expected when they arrived they saw the blind old man who guards the warehouse suppressing the Quasi-Emperor cultivator from the Yun Clan.
"So the Yun Clan even sent a Quasi-Emperor Cultivator," Hei Yu murmured.
The blind old man spoke, "You guys are finally here."
Upon seeing them, he immediately controlled his aura and not let them be affected, then his eyes lingered at Tan Shengyu for a while and only calmed down when he saw the jade tokens on his waist. Once everyone noticed that the aura around them had disappeared they let go of whatever attached them to Tan Shengyu. After all, they look a bit ridiculous just now. As if they are children playing a human train connected through something and moving in a synchronized manner.
{We greet the Senior!}
The people of the Pill Tower, Hei Yu and the people under him had clasped their hands with their backs lowered and greeted the Senior before them. The reason is simple, he is stronger than any of them. On the other hand, Tan Shengyu who couldn’t feel any pressure was left like a mushroom peeking out its head among the grasses that bowed their leaves under the strong breeze.
Tan Shengyu looked around but didn’t follow the others but he at least clasped his hand towards the blind old man.
"Tan Shengyu greets the Senior!"
The blind old man didn’t seem offended by Tan Shengyu’s light greeting and responded to all of them with a hum. Others raised their backs and thanked the seniors while the others were surprised while the Senior before them wasn’t offended by the action of Tan Shengyu were bewildered while those who knew why kept their mouths shut tight. They do not have the right to speak of those two exalted beings’ names.
Senior Kun asks, "Do you need this one alive?"
"No need. Senior, feel free to do as you wish," said Pill Tower Master Han Siyu.
As for the man who was suppressed, that he was bleeding in his seven orifices and was glaring at Pill Tower Master Han Siyu with a death glare. If a glare can kill Han Siyu and the blind old man would have died multiple times.
"The Pill Tower had hidden their cards well. To think you have a False Emperor by your side. The Yun Clan will not let this go!!!"
Under everyone’s gaze the man turned into a pile of ashes and ended up looking like a pile of garbage to be cleaned up.
The Blind Old Man said, "Take it away. A Quasi-Emperor remains can be used as a material for pill refining. Just make sure to purify it before using it."
"Thank you, Senior Kun!" Pill Tower Master Han Siyu took the pile of ashes away and kept it safe.
Senior Kun spoke again, "Don’t forget to clean up the place. The Mistress would be coming back for tomorrow. Keep her tower clean."
As the Pill Tower Master and the Grand Elders had expected, this Senior had already known about the return of the real owner of the Pill Tower. That’s why he didn’t make a move to stop the purging when it had happened this morning. Because he already knew that the one who had arrived with the Pill Tower Master this morning is this era’s Divine Doctor and his real master.
"Yes, Senior Kun. Everything will be cleaned up and repaired before the sun rises."
The Pill Tower Master and the Grand Elders had once again clasped their hands and bid their farewell before leaving with the others. Only when they left did the blind old man look at the departing figure of Tan Shengyu’s back.
He mumbles, "Even his disciple had this blinding aura on him. But his disciple was my new Mistress’s subordinate and he had allowed that? The world must be ending soon."
Then the old man had resumed to his original meditation state guarding the entrance to this warehouse as if he was some kind of statue whose existence was only to protect the piece of legacy left behind by his former owner, the late Divine Doctor.
