329: The Angry Supreme Elder
"Who on earth is it? How dare they destroy my Disciple's Dantian!"
Just then, a cold voice rang out.
Following that, an old man with an aura as deep as an abyss, profound eyes, and white temples appeared in the main hall.
His appearance seemed to cause the temperature of the entire hall to plummet, and an invisible pressure spread out.
This white-templed old man was none other than the Grand Elder of the Heavenly God Palace, Supreme Elder Xu.
At this moment, his expression was gloomy, and his whole body emitted a chilling aura.
"Revered Master, you have finally returned."
Seeing Supreme Elder Xu arrive, Su Yuwen, who had previously felt hopeless, finally ignited a glimmer of hope for revenge. His eyes flashed with a venomous light, as if he had grasped a lifeline.
"Grand Elder." Seeing Supreme Elder Xu arrive, Dugu Yuan bowed respectfully, his expression tinged with a trace of awe.
Supreme Elder Xu did not speak. He walked up to Su Yuwen and began to carefully examine him. His gaze was focused and sharp, as if he wanted to see through every detail of Su Yuwen's body.
A moment later, a cold glint flashed in Supreme Elder Xu's eyes, and he asked in an icy tone: "What exactly happened?"
His voice seemed to come from the nine nether abyss, making people feel a chill down their spines.
"Grand Elder, it happened like this."
Dugu Yuan hurriedly recounted the whole story.
He spoke very quickly but clearly, detailing the conflict and fight between Yang Lingchen and Su Yuwen.
"You mean to say that my Disciple was crippled by a brat in the Heavenly God Realm?"
Supreme Elder Xu's voice was extremely cold, and his eyes revealed a bone-chilling coldness. His face was terribly gloomy, as if it could drip water.
"If the Grand Elder has any doubts, you can ask your own Disciple."
Dugu Yuan said, his expression still respectful, but his tone revealed a trace of firmness.
Supreme Elder Xu looked at Su Yuwen and said: "Is what Dugu Yuan said true?"
"It... it is true."
Su Yuwen hurriedly lowered his head; he dared not meet Supreme Elder Xu's oppressive gaze. His body trembled slightly, his heart filled with fear and regret.
"Useless thing! I have spent over a hundred years cultivating you, and you were actually crippled by someone in the Heavenly God Realm!"
Supreme Elder Xu shouted sharply, his voice echoing in the hall, making everyone's ears buzz.
Then he turned his head to look at Dugu Yuan and said: "Where is that Yang Lingchen?"
His gaze was like a knife, as if he wanted to pierce through Dugu Yuan.
"Grand Elder, calm down. As for matters between the younger generation, there is no need for us elders to intervene."
At this time, Shen Mingyang stood up, a gentle smile on his face, but his eyes revealed firmness.
"Palace Revered Master, you say it lightly, but the one who was crippled is not your Disciple." Supreme Elder Xu said coldly, his tone full of dissatisfaction and anger.
Shen Mingyang said: "Although it is not my Disciple who was crippled, I have already understood the ins and outs of this matter very clearly."
"Oh!" Supreme Elder Xu said with a gloomy tone: "Since the Palace Revered Master understands the ins and outs, why not tell me about it."
He crossed his arms over his chest, his eyes fixed on Shen Mingyang.
"This matter happened on Yirou Peak, which is the cultivation place of my two daughters. From the course of events, Su Yuwen and Nangong Tianming were the ones who came to cause trouble."
Shen Mingyang said slowly, his voice unhurried but full of majesty.
"Coming to cause trouble is one thing, but as a Void God Realm seventh-layer Cultivator, to be crippled by a new Disciple in the Heavenly God Realm—shouldn't he blame himself for being poorly skilled?" Shen Mingyang continued.
"Our Heavenly God Palace is a place that values Geniuses. A Prodigy like Yang Lingchen, who possesses such strong Cross-Rank Challenge ability, should be given key cultivation."
"Grand Elder, you wouldn't target a talented youth just because your own Disciple was crippled, would you?" Shen Mingyang said, his gaze fixed on Supreme Elder Xu.
Yang Lingchen was his daughter's Disciple after all, so he had to stand up and speak for Yang Lingchen.
Shen Mingyang stood up to speak for Yang Lingchen not only because Yang Lingchen was his daughter's Disciple, but the main reason was to suppress Supreme Elder Xu.
"Does the Palace Revered Master mean that my Disciple was just crippled for nothing?" Supreme Elder Xu sneered, his eyes full of mockery.
"Of course that is not what I mean." Shen Mingyang smiled calmly and said: "But Yang Lingchen is a Junior after all. If you personally take action, it will only spread and ruin the reputation you have built up over tens of thousands of years. I have an idea here, it just depends on whether you are willing to listen."
"If the Palace Revered Master has something to say, feel free to speak." Supreme Elder Xu said coldly, his face still gloomy.
"Grand Elder, don't you have other Disciples?" Shen Mingyang stroked his beard and said: "Since it is a matter of the younger generation, why not let the young people solve it themselves?"
"The Palace Revered Master makes sense. It is better to let young people handle young people's matters. I just hope that the girl Xinrou won't be too sad when the time comes." Supreme Elder Xu sneered.
In his view, Shen Mingyang saying this was nothing more than favoring Yang Lingchen, because Dugu Yuan had just said that Yang Lingchen was Shen Xinrou's man.
"Rou'er is still young. Even if she encounters some sad things, it will only be temporary." Shen Mingyang said with a smile.
"Since the Palace Revered Master says so, then I can rest assured." After Supreme Elder Xu finished speaking, he took Su Yuwen and left the main hall.
"Rou'er, this girl, is really becoming more and more outrageous. It seems this marriage alliance can only let Yi'er go."
Shen Mingyang muttered, then flew towards Yirou Peak.
...
Yirou Peak, Shen Xinrou's palace.
Just then, Shen Mingyang's figure flashed suddenly and instantly appeared on the top of Yirou Peak.
"Outrageous! What kind of behavior is this!"
The moment Shen Mingyang appeared, monstrous anger instantly surged in his eyes.
"You bastards, get out here!"
Shen Mingyang's voice was like a thunderclap, instantly resounding throughout the entire mountain peak.
