Chapter 647: Master Yang Appears Again

"This?"

Master Wei and Ye Wentian looked at each other, as if they had seen a ghost.

President Wu trembled all over, as if someone had grabbed his neck, his eyes bulging: "It's... it's the convergence point! He... threw his shoe into the convergence point, resolving the conflict caused by the collision of three forces..."

The balance point of Mount Qingji, Dragon Scale River, and the earth vein was nearly impossible to find, but once found, maintaining balance was easy.

But... he had thought of formation plates, formation flags, and all kinds of powerful treasures; a single shoe defusing such a crisis... was too fierce!

What kind of means and ability was this?

Who exactly was this guy?

Just as they were astonished and at a loss for words, they saw Master Hong and Luo Xuan not far away, their lips trembling, and they knelt directly to the ground.

"Junior Hong Qian (Luo Xuan) pays respects to Master Yang!"

As soon as the figure in the air appeared, the two recognized him. It was none other than the extraordinary master who had displayed great power that night, causing the alliance of over a dozen forces to retreat in defeat... Yang Xuan!

They had thought they would not survive this time and were doomed, but never expected that Master Yang would appear at the most critical moment and resolve the crisis in one move.

At this moment, Yang Xuan stood in the air, riding the wind, giving off an aura of tranquility and inscrutability.

"Who is he..."

Ye Wentian, Master Wei, and the others turned their heads.

Seeing that disaster was imminent, a figure emerged from under the pool, and a single shoe defused the crisis. Just as they were filled with curiosity, they saw Hong Qian and the others showing such respect, and they all couldn't help but look over.

Even they couldn't solve the situation, but the other party did so easily; even a fool would know he was extraordinary.

"This is... Zhang Xuan's teacher, Master Yang! Even Hall Master Mo of the Mentor Hall of Hongyuan Empire must respectfully address him as... senior!" Master Hong swallowed and said.

Although it wasn't his first time meeting this Master Yang, the pressure he gave him was still so strong!

Especially in terms of soul, it was like facing an unassailable mountain, making one unable to muster any thought of resistance.

"Hall Master Mo addresses him as... senior?"

"Teacher of Master Zhang?"

Master Wei, Ye Wentian, and President Wu's pupils contracted, and their mouths twitched simultaneously.

Hall Master Mo was a peak six-star mentor, a super powerhouse who had truly reached the Saint level!

For such a person to address him as senior... just how strong was this man?

They had just dealt with Master Zhang until his 'corpse' was gone, not even ashes left, and now his teacher had arrived... How were they to explain?

If they had known he had such a formidable teacher, they would have watched him closely even at the risk of all dying here, and not let him go missing!

"Ye Wentian of Huanyu Empire (Wu Zun, Wei Jiang) pays respects to Master Yang!"

The more they thought, the more nervous they became, and the three hurriedly bowed.

"If my student Zhang Xuan had any fault, you could have rebuked and scolded him! But to abandon him and let him enter the pool—do you think... he has no one behind him?"

With his hands behind his back, Master Yang looked down coldly.

"We dare not..."

Seeing that he had indeed come for this matter, they were all startled and also filled with grievance.

We really wanted to save your student, but we didn't see him for a moment, and he crawled and jumped into the pool himself. The situation was complicated at the time; there was really nothing we could do...

"Good that you dare not!"

With a snort, Master Yang ignored the others and reached out his hand, grabbing downward. A unconscious figure slowly floated up from the pool.

It was Zhang Xuan!

This Master Yang, with a single reach, had retrieved Zhang Xuan, who had fallen into the pool and was somewhere unknown!

"Reaching through the air to grab without any discernible fluctuation of power?"

"This probably... can't be done even by a Saint First Level!"

Ye Wentian and Master Wei exchanged glances, swallowed, and their bodies trembled.

The action just now seemed simple, but as peak Mortal Transformation Eighth Level experts, they knew the difficulty!

They could also do some air-grabbing, but to find a person from the chaotic Purification Pool dozens of meters away and bring him out without any fluctuation of power... that was not something an ordinary person could do.

With this single move, the absolute control of power, even Mo Gaoyuan, Master Mo of Hongyuan Empire, might not be able to accomplish it!

A master!

Absolutely a master!

Ye Wentian, Master Wei, and President Wu exchanged glances, each tensing up.

Some mentors were very protective of their students; bullying his student was equivalent to damaging his face. If he truly became angry and punished them... although they held high positions in Huanyu Empire, compared to the man in the air, they were nothing!

"It was my failure to take care of Master Zhang. I beg... Master Yang to punish me!"

Gritting his teeth, Ye Wentian stepped forward.

The Purification Pool was under the control of the Huanyu Empire's royal family, and he had invited the other party. If anything happened to him, he would inevitably be implicated.

"Punish? If I wanted to punish, do you think you could still be standing here talking to me?"

Master Yang snorted coldly.

He flipped his wrist, tucked it behind his back, and the unconscious Zhang Xuan stopped in midair, floating quietly not far from him.

Seeing this move, everyone was terrified, their faces drained of color.

Without even touching him, merely by releasing his inner power, he made a person float beside him and fly—this... this method was simply heaven-defying!

The Cleansing Pool, formed by gathering the power of Qingji Mountain, Dragon Scale River, and the earth's veins, if left uncontrolled, could easily cause great suffering. As a master teacher, I am unwilling to see that, so I'll help you resolve it!

He glanced at Zhang Xuan, seeming to see that he was fine, and his expression recovered somewhat. He flicked his sleeve. "However, after this incident, the Cleansing Pool has suffered great damage to its vitality and will need fifty years to recover. But... the three forces are now balanced. From now on, you won't need the pool's eye to cultivate, and you won't be restricted to ten years!"

"No need for the pool's eye or the ten-year restriction?"

Hearing that it would take fifty years to recover, Ye Wentian was somewhat disappointed, but when he heard that cultivation would no longer require the pool's eye or be limited to ten years, his eyes lit up, and he nearly jumped with excitement.

Although the Cleansing Pool greatly aided cultivators, its power was too violent; one could only cultivate while in the pool's eye, and only for three days every ten years.

Once these restrictions were removed, such a vast pool could allow hundreds to cultivate simultaneously, and it would be inexhaustible... It was foreseeable that in fifty years, the Huan Yu Empire would have more and more experts, and among the second-rate empires, it would surely stand out!

Though it was still far from surpassing a first-rate empire, it would definitely make the entire nation more and more prosperous!

"Thank you, Master Yang!"

Ye Wentian knelt directly on the ground, his gratitude sincere.

Earlier, when the Cleansing Pool suddenly changed, he thought the Huan Yu Empire would perish under his rule and he would become its last emperor. He never dreamed that Master Zhang's teacher, unwilling to see suffering, would step in, not only solving the problem but also... removing the old constraints on the Cleansing Pool!

It could be said that this act not only saved the entire Huan Yu Empire but also gave it the potential to stand at the pinnacle of other second-rate empires!

A debt of gratitude as great as a second chance at life!

Seeing him kneel, Master Yang casually waved his hand, said nothing more, and stepped into the void, walking away step by step into the distance. The floating Master Zhang followed closely behind him, as if flying.

Soon they disappeared from sight.

"Flying while carrying someone..."

Watching them disappear, everyone swallowed hard.

Many hadn't heard the earlier conversation between Master Hong, Ye Wentian, and the others, so they didn't know how terrifying Master Yang was. But seeing him throw a shoe to resolve the Cleansing Pool that was about to explode at any moment, and then fly away carrying someone, left them utterly shocked.

No matter how foolish, they now knew how terrifying Master Yang was!

Those at the eighth level of Mortal Transformation, the Void Step realm, could step on emptiness and fly briefly, but it was only straight up and down, not much better than jumping.

Only by truly entering the Saint realm, reaching the first level, the Sky Chase realm, could one fly.

Even so, that only meant soaring through the sky alone. Someone like the one before them, carrying another person and coming and going as he pleased... was unimaginably powerful!

"Master Zhang... actually has such a powerful teacher?"

Xing Yuan swallowed hard.

Earlier, he had thought that if necessary, he would find a chance to teach that kid a lesson and tell him not to bother Princess Fei'er. Now he knew how foolish that idea was.

Fortunately, he hadn't acted; otherwise, not just him, but even his entire family wouldn't be enough for that man to swat away with one slap!

The gap was simply too vast!

Even their most powerful ancestor could fly, but carrying someone and leaving at will was something he couldn't do.

"From now on... I must cultivate good relations with Master Zhang!"

He made a silent decision.

"Master Zhang's teacher..." Princess Yu Fei'er's eyes widened.

No wonder this Zhang Xuan was so strange—a four-star master teacher who could make her lose repeatedly. So he had such a powerful teacher!

Trained by someone so formidable, even if she were a favored daughter of heaven, she naturally couldn't be a match...

"Hmph! Even if your teacher is powerful, I won't be your maidservant! I'll still bet with you..."

She gritted her teeth and clenched her delicate fists.

So what if he had a powerful teacher? She, Yu Fei'er, was also a princess of noble birth. Become his maidservant obediently?

Dream on!

At the first opportunity, she would still bet with him and win, to redeem herself...

But it seemed she had lost again this time, and she would have to pay another ten thousand spirit stones. She felt... so disheartened!

"Wonderful..."

Seeing Master Yang arrive in person and rescue Master Zhang,

Master Hong and Luo Xuan also breathed sighs of relief.

Luo Qiqi suddenly understood.

Earlier, she had wondered why Master Zhang's alchemy was so superb. With such a powerful teacher, his excellent alchemy skills were naturally obvious.

"Although the crisis at the Cleansing Pool has been resolved... given the current situation, we can't continue cultivating!"

After seeing off the invincible Master Yang, Ye Wentian looked at Luo Qiqi, Princess Fei'er, and the others, full of apology.

He had invited them to cultivate here to curry favor, but it had turned into a life-and-death race, nearly getting them all killed. How tragic.

"Indeed!"

Everyone nodded, turned to look at the Cleansing Pool, now like a ruin, their mouths twitching, and confusion in their hearts.

This thing had always been stable, hadn't it? Why did it suddenly... explode?
