Ye Luo and the Pavilion Master of Yuheng Pavilion, Xu Ruobai, also turned their gaze toward this group of people. The pupils of the latter focused on Elder Shi with a slight condensation in his expression, while Ye Luo, upon seeing Elder Shi and his group, was startled, and his heart couldn’t help but shake.

Under the power of his Clairvoyant Eye, the battle wolves standing to the left and right of Elder Shi and another person turned out to be all experts of the ninth level of the Hua Yuan Realm. Not to mention that person, just the battle wolves.

Although he knew the other party was powerful before, he had thought at most the opponent was only of the Half-Saint Realm. Now, under the scan of his Clairvoyant Eye, the opponent turned out to be so strong. This was really fucked up!

And the dozens of people behind them all turned out to be experts of the ninth level of the Saint Realm, which was even more shocking to Ye Luo. He felt his heart pounding—were experts so undervalued now? A whole lot of them showed up at once, deeply impacting him.

Moreover, he also felt Elder Shi’s aura was somewhat different from before, giving off the air of a hidden master. But his Clairvoyant Eye found nothing when scanning the other, could it be that Elder Shi was also a hidden unparalleled master? Ye Luo secretly thought.

"Elder Shi, why have you come?"

Ji Mo quickly walked up to Elder Shi’s side, calling out with a respectful expression on his face.

"If I didn’t come, you would have turned the Capital City upside down," Elder Shi said indifferently, his words causing Ji Mo’s face to change.

"Who are you?"

Xu Ruobai looked at Elder Shi, frowning slightly, his eyes subtly scanning the group of people beside him, and his pupils flickered with a hint of surprise.

"I am just a nameless nobody from the Capital City. It is quite normal for the Pavilion Master of Yuheng Pavilion to not know me. However, Pavilion Master Xu, the Hidden Sect and the secular government have an agreement that Hidden Sect masters should not act recklessly in the secular world to disrupt its peace. I wonder what Pavilion Master Xu is planning to do?" Elder Shi spoke faintly.

The pupils of the members of the great families present were flashing constantly, their minds filled with many thoughts.

"I have not disturbed the peace of the secular world," Xu Ruobai spoke. "It’s just that this kid almost injured my disciple grievously, and I only gave him a slight punishment."

"Pavilion Master Xu, he is one of our government’s people and has even received an honor medal issued by our leader for his outstanding contributions to the country. I request that Pavilion Master of Yuheng let this matter rest," Elder Shi continued.

Xu Ruobai’s face darkened, and he glanced at Ye Luo, saying, "What if I say no?"

Elder Shi narrowed his aged eyes, a powerful aura suddenly burst forth, his gaze filled with a sharp brilliance as he looked at Xu Ruobai and said:

"If Pavilion Master Xu insists on going his own way, then he is making an enemy of the government. And making an enemy of the government means the War God’s team will order your execution!"

With the terrifying aura that suddenly erupted from Elder Shi, Ji Mo was shaken and retreated repeatedly. Everyone present was shocked, and the expressions of Xu Ruobai and Ye Luo both changed.

"The War God’s team will order your execution!"

"The War God’s team will order your execution!"

...

As soon as Elder Shi finished speaking, the battle wolf beside him, another person, and the dozens of Saint Realm ninth-level experts all shouted in unison.

Their voices thundered like lightning, and their momentum was rainbow-like!

A terrifying aura melded with an overwhelming killing intent burst forth from them, all converging to form a soaring murderous atmosphere, intimidating everyone present.

Everyone there, no matter who they were or how strong their abilities, were all shaken by this sky-high killing intent, feeling an inexplicable fear and suffocation.

Xu Ruobai’s expression abruptly changed, looking somewhat unsightly. The faces of the four Yuheng Pavilion disciples also shifted in reaction to the terrifying murderous intent; even as cultivators of the Hua Yuan Realm, they felt a chill down their spines.

Ye Luo’s heart was immensely shocked, his eyes flickering with light as he thought to himself in amazement that this group not only looked like martial arts experts, but also like hardened, iron-blooded soldiers.

The martial momentum emanating from their bodies, fused with their personal killing aura, combined with the collective presence of the others to form a heaven-reaching murderous intent, a pressure that far exceeded what a Hua Yuan Realm cultivator could endure.

Moreover, though Ye Luo did not know the full extent of Elder Shi’s strength, he had a creeping feeling that the elder was not the least bit inferior to the Pavilion Master of Yuheng Pavilion, a true reclusive master for sure.

"War God’s team! Are you from the War God’s team?" Xu Ruobai’s gaze flickered as he looked at Elder Shi and asked in a deep voice. At this moment, Ji Mo’s expression kept changing. After looking at the indifferent Elder Shi and the group of experts behind him filled with murderous intent, he shuddered and quickly stepped to Xu Ruobai’s side, whispering a few words in his ear.

"I never expected my casual visit to the secular world would lead to an encounter with the legendary War God’s team. You must be the leader of the War God’s team, truly a master of concealment," Xu Ruobai said lightly to Elder Shi.

"Pavilion Master Xu, do you still intend to take action?" Elder Shi’s gaze was fixed on Xu Ruobai as he spoke.

"Today, out of respect for the War God’s team, I will refrain from interfering. But Ji Lingtian is my disciple; anyone who opposes him opposes my Yuheng Pavilion," Xu Ruobai said, his eyes deep as he swept a glance at Ye Luo before stepping down from the platform.

Following that, the pressure emanating from Elder Shi dissipated into nothingness, and the overwhelming murderous intent receded like the tide.

At that moment, War Wolf came up to the platform, walked over to Ye Luo, and said, "How are you? Can you still move?" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Don’t worry, I’m fine," Ye Luo replied, taking out the last Qi Recovery Pill he had and swallowing it. He rapidly restored the True Qi in his body and then slowly stood up from the ground.

"Good lad, you actually have such a treasure," War Wolf said, his eyes showing a flash of surprise as he looked at Ye Luo.

Ye Luo walked down from the platform, looked at Elder Shi, and said with his hands cupped in thanks, "Thank you for your help, Elder Shi."

"That’s enough, let’s leave this place first," Elder Shi said indifferently.

"Yu Ru, let’s go," Ye Luo walked over to Qin Yuru and spoke, the latter looked at Ye Luo with affectionate eyes and nodded gently.

"Don’t you dare leave!"

Ji Lingtian, seeing that Ye Luo was about to take Qin Yuru away, could not help but shout out, his face filled with unwillingness.

"Do you want to continue fighting? Then have your master save you again?" Ye Luo’s eyes met Ji Lingtian’s, laced with mockery and disdain.

"You..."

Facing the disdain in Ye Luo’s eyes and his sarcastic tone, Ji Lingtian was instantly filled with rage, about to lose control and make a move again, but was held back by Ji Mo.

"Let’s go!" Ye Luo took Qin Yuru’s hand and walked openly toward the exit, followed by Feng Tian. Situ Luoyun and Leng Ruobing both hurried out as well.

Elder Shi also left without a word, with the War God’s team following closely. Suddenly, the banquet hall became completely quiet.
