The news that the First Hall Master of Hong Meng Sacred Hall was descending on Hong Meng Sacred Hall swept across the 36 Great Cosmoses like a whirlwind.
Almost everyone knew that Luo Yunyang was in pretty deep trouble this time.
Huge trouble! So great that it would make anyone tremble in fear!
The Da Qian Master and the others had gathered. They did not enter the territory of Hong Meng Sacred Hall but were monitoring everything that was happening in Hong Meng Sacred Hall at all times.
Although he had thought of any scenario that might happen when he had decided to rebel against Tianding Realm, they were still terrified when the day eventually came.
Indeed, they were terrified!
After all, he was not only the First Hall Master of Hong Meng Sacred Hall but also an existence that was half a step away from becoming a Taiyi Yuan Venerate. This sort of existence was so powerful that ordinary folks could not even imagine how strong his cultivation was.
“We have to take action!” The Da Qian Master looked at the three other Hall Masters and said, “We will encounter more trouble in the future if we don’t even dare go up against the First Hall Master of Hong Meng Sacred Hall now.”
“Take our respective Ancestral Masters for example!” The Xuan Pin Sacred Hall Master sounded a little gloomy. “They abandoned the five Sacred Halls many years ago, so we will never agree to let our five Sacred Halls become their puppets again!”
The Xuan Pin Sacred Hall Master’s attitude had always been the most delicate among the leaders of the five Sacred Halls. However, her attitude this time was resolute.
Although the Battle Hall Master and the Dark Hall Master did not speak, their expressions showed that they agreed with what the Xuan Pin Sacred Hall Master had said.
“Let’s take a look at what he is going to do first. We’ll move out together if Hall Master Luo Yunyang can’t hold him off.”
“After all, he is only a half-step Taiyi Yuan Venerate!” The Da Qian Hall Master’s last sentence sounded as though it had been said to pump up him and his compatriots.
While the three of them were talking, the huge Hong Meng Sacred Hall was already in a state of panic.
Although there were many Yuan Venerates in Hong Meng Sacred Hall, there were also many disciples who were not afraid of dying. However, the First Hall Master of Hong Meng Sacred Hall’s status had really shocked them.
Many people did not even know what they should do.
Even Yuan Venerate White Crane, who was always calm, could only stand aside quietly while waiting for Luo Yunyang to respond.
“I haven’t seen you in years. How have you been?” A faint voice echoed across Hong Meng Sacred Hall. Every disciple of Hong Meng Sacred Hall was very familiar with this voice.
This voice was here to rescue them from the oppression they were facing.
After the voice faded, figures of the Divine Elder appeared in every corner of the entire Hong Meng Sacred Hall.
In the sky, on the ground, on every brick of Hong Meng Sacred Hall, between every door of Hong Meng Sacred Hall…
It felt as though the figures had surrounded and engulfed the massive Hong Meng Sacred Hall. When they all took a step forward at nearly the same time, they converged in one in an instant.
A seemingly ordinary Divine Elder appeared in front of everyone.
The First Hall Master of Hong Meng Sacred Hall glanced at the Divine Elder in a strange manner as he lamented. “I really never thought that you’d actually reach this point!”
The First Hall Master of Hong Meng Sacred Hall did not mention what point he was referring to exactly, but it had to be something incredible to surprise him that much.
The Divine Elder replied faintly, “Hall Master Flowing Sky, you are no longer the Hall Master Flowing Sky of the past.”
The Divine Elder said this very abruptly as if for no rhyme or reason, but the First Hall Master of Hong Meng Sacred Hall was startled the moment he heard it.
“Divine Elder, I am still the same person!” After a short pause, the First Hall Master of Hong Meng Sacred Hall replied softly.
The Divine Elder shook his head and did not argue about this matter any further. Obviously, he did not care who was right or wrong about this.
“Why have you come, Hall Master Flowing Sky?”

Upon hearing that the Divine Elder had changed the subject, Hall Master Flowing Sky responded, “This rebellious Luo Yunyang actually imprisoned my disciple. I have come to make him understand what it means to respect his elders!”
“Respect his elders? Hall Master Flowing Sky, are you kidding me? Since the day Hong Meng Sacred Hall was founded, there have been no rules that mention masters and disciples.” The Divine Elder’s tone was ice-cold. “This was the decision of the Divine Ancestor, don’t you know that?”
Hall Master Flowing Sky, who was already a half-step Taiyi Yuan Venerate, would definitely ruin anyone that dared question him.
However, the person questioning him now was the Divine Elder. Not only did he have a deep relation with Hall Master Flowing Sky, but his cultivation also made Hall Master Flowing Sky deeply apprehensive.
Therefore, when Hall Master Flowing Sky was asked a question in return, he replied, “Divine Elder, arguing with you about this is of no use. Let Luo Yunyang come out here and explain why he suppressed my disciple!”
The Divine Elder sounded as calm as ever as he said, “Hall Master Luo is training in seclusion in preparation for the selection of the position of the Human Ruler. He has no time to come over.”
“I’m very aware of your disciple’s situation and I believe you must be as well. I once asked you if you were severing all ties with Hong Meng Sacred Hall with your departure. Tell me, what was your answer back then?”
Hall Master Flowing Sky could not recall when was the last time he had been interrogated by someone. However, regardless of how unwilling he was to answer, he had to respond. “At the time, that was the Divine Ancestor’s arrangement. I did not know when I would return.”
Almost everyone could tell that this half-step Yuan Venerate, who was like a supreme existence, seemed a little short of breath while responding.
“Since you understand everything, then why didn’t you stop your disciples from demanding those valuable treasures when they came to Hong Meng Sacred Hall?” The Divine Elder ignored Hall Master Flowing Sky’s reply and pressed on with his interrogation.
Hall Master Flowing Sky’s expression changed greatly as he replied, “Divine Elder, although your cultivation has improved a lot, you aren’t my disciple. You can’t stop me!”
Those watching the situation unfold immediately understood what was going on as soon as this was uttered. They knew that Hall Master Flowing Sky was no longer prepared to reason because he knew he was wrong.
The people from the five Sacred Halls of the Human Race felt extremely nervous, while the martialists in Tianding Realm were excited. After all, Hall Master Flowing Sky represented their interests and they would find it difficult to accept it if he returned defeated.
The Divine Elder said solemnly, “I can’t stop you, but the Divine Ancestor promised me that he would help me once when I was serving him back in the day.”
Hall Master Flowing Sky had never thought that the Divine Elder would have such a trump card up his sleeve. He knew that the Divine Elder would never dare to lie to him about something like this.
A whole bunch of thoughts went through Hall Master Flowing Sky’s mind momentarily. Although he was confident about beating the Divine Elder, he could not prevent the Divine Elder from requesting help from the Divine Ancestor.
The situation would be very unfavorable for him if the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor came.
After mulling this over for a moment, Hall Master Flowing Sky said, “Divine Elder, I’ll show you some face for the sake of our many years of friendship. I’m fine with not seeing Luo Yunyang, but my disciple must be handed over today!”
“Take him!” The Divine Elder did not hesitate this time before he formed a series of hand seals quickly. Lu Xinlong and Zhong Ming, who were both suppressed, appeared in the void immediately.
Both Lu Xinlong and Zhong Ming looked very battered due to being suppressed. Zhong Ming especially so, because Luo Yunyang had looked into his memories. Thus, his body trembled evidently when he appeared in the void.
“Greetings, master!” Lu Xinlong was someone who had reached the Yuan Venerate level at a young age. Hence, he calmed down very quickly before greeting his master.
Lu Xinlong had already thought about his master’s arrival while being suppressed. Therefore, after greeting his master, he said softly to Hall Master Flowing Sky, “I hope the master can address this issue for his disciple.”
“You useless thing! Your cultivation is lacking. What a disgrace… What can your master do in this case?” Although Hall Master Flowing Sky’s tone was serene, there was a hint of coldness within.
This coldness even made Lu Xinlong’s heart tremble.
“Go reflect on your mistakes after you return with me!” he told Lu Xinlong icily before turning to the Divine Elder and saying, “Once the position of the Human Ruler has been confirmed, the Human Race will be unified and led by the Human Ruler.”
“In order to integrate all sorts of forces within the Human Race and thus withstand future calamities, the Human Ruler will have enormous authority.”
“Divine Elder, on account of our many years of friendship, let me give you a piece of advice: The tides are changing, so you should take care of yourself properly.”
Although Hall Master Flowing Sky was speaking to the Divine Elder, other Human Race martialists felt chills running down their spines.
They knew very well that they would all be part of the changing tides mentioned by Hall Master Flowing Sky.
“According to the decree of the Divine Ancestor, every Yuan Venerate can fight for the position of the Human Ruler. However, this doesn’t mean that people from Tianding Realm will surely obtain it.”
The Divine Elder’s expression was calm, but his tone was firm. “I believe Luo Yunyang will not let us down.”
“Then let’s wait and see!” Hall Master Flowing Sky smiled faintly as he spoke. He looked at Lu Xinlong and Zhong Ming before gently waving his sleeves and disappearing into the void with them.
“The great momentum of the world is vast and mighty. Those who abide will live, and those who oppose it will die!”
The clear, crisp voice reverberated in the void. This was the last sentence said by Hall Master Flowing Sky, but there was clear deterrence in it.
The Divine Elder gazed at the void around Hong Meng Sacred Hall calmly and did not say a word as he walked towards the huge Hong Meng Sacred Hall.
Every step he took was calm and steady!
