Standing nearby and watching, the Sword Lunatic crossed his arms, tilted his head, and sized up Tianji Old Man, who was shrouded in flashing light.
Smacking his lips twice, he stroked his chin and muttered with a serious face:
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Looking at this fellow's face, his forehead is dark, and a malevolent energy hovers between his brows. This is clearly a sign of an impending bloody disaster!”
The Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor, the Yunhua Ancestor, and Emperor Tianqi stood nearby.
They were already filled with anxiety as they waited for the divination results. Hearing the Sword Lunatic's words, their faces instantly turned livid.
Three icy glares swept over the Sword Lunatic in unison as they roared in their hearts:
What the hell do you know? You're just a sword user, yet you dare to read the face of a peerless diviner?
You're really like a dung beetle playing the groom—putting on quite the show!
The Sword Lunatic found their stares baffling. Blinking, he pointed at Tianji Old Man and said to the three of them,
“Why are you staring at me? Look at him! He's already sweating...”
The three of them were startled. They quickly turned to look at Tianji Old Man, and their hearts immediately sank.
Tianji Old Man's forehead was already drenched in dense beads of cold sweat.
How could this be? In the entire Xuantian Continent, is there actually someone who can surpass Tianji Old Man in divination?
The Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor and the others muttered to themselves, filled with disbelief.
In their eyes, Tianji Old Man was the absolute ceiling of the art of divination. Such a situation shouldn't be happening.
“He's just sweating, not bleeding. He should be fine, right?”
The Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor frowned.
The Tianqi Ancestor and the Yunhua Ancestor nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, Tianji Old Man stared at the mist before him, the sweat on his forehead growing heavier.
He had already pushed himself to the limit, but he found that he couldn't penetrate the mist at all.
Let alone see the truth hidden behind it.
He was horrified. He had encountered a true master this time, and not just any ordinary master.
Right at that moment, with a loud boom, the mist began to churn.
Just as Tianji Old Man was exhausted and felt the urge to retreat,
the dark gold mist in front of him suddenly billowed violently, and an intense sense of danger washed over him.
Tianji Old Man's face paled, and he cried out in alarm in his heart.
Terrified, he was about to cut off the divination.
But just then, a sky-covering giant palm suddenly thrust out from the mist. Carrying unparalleled pressure, it slapped straight down toward him!
Its speed was incredibly fast, and its power was terrifyingly immense.
Tianji Old Man didn't even have the chance to dodge or defend.
He only felt a boundless force crash violently into his soul.
His vision instantly went black. His soul throbbed with excruciating pain, and he lost consciousness entirely as the invisible force sent him flying.
“Holy crap!”
“Tianjizi!”
“What happened?!”
“Why did he fly back like that?”
The Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor and the other two gasped in shock, their faces filled with astonishment.
Just a moment ago, they had watched as Tianji Old Man broke into more and more cold sweat.
His state had been extremely poor. But while they were worrying,
who could have expected that Tianji Old Man would suddenly be blasted away by an invisible, terrifying force!
The three of them instinctively wanted to rush forward to catch him.
However, their bodies barely moved before they abruptly froze, filled with apprehension:
This kind of bizarre backlash... if some curse or ominous misfortune clings to us, wouldn't that be a huge trouble?
Hesitating, the three of them could only watch as Tianji Old Man crashed heavily onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
“Damn, you guys are so heartless. You didn't even try to save him...”
The Sword Lunatic had assumed the three of them would catch him, so he hadn't planned on stepping in.
He hadn't expected them to just stand there.
The three of them were speechless at his accusation:
You didn't move to save him either, yet you have the nerve to blame us!
The Sword Lunatic quickly stepped forward, squatted down, and extended a finger.
He carefully checked Tianji Old Man's breathing, then let out a long sigh of relief, patting his chest as he exclaimed,
“Phew, he's still breathing. No need to attend a funeral feast and give spirit stone contributions. That saved me a bunch of spirit stones!”
By then, the Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor, the Yunhua Ancestor, and Emperor Tianqi had also rushed over, crowding around Tianji Old Man.
Emperor Tianqi, looking anxious, was the first to speak:
“What's wrong with him?”
The Sword Lunatic stood up, rolled his eyes, and stared at Emperor Tianqi as if looking at an idiot, his tone dripping with disdain:
“Are you stupid? Are your eyes just for decoration?
Can't you see he's injured? It's so obvious, why even ask?”
Emperor Tianqi was already furious because Tianji Old Man was heavily injured.
Being snapped at like this by the Sword Lunatic made him instantly blow his top. His murderous intent surged as he glared at the Sword Lunatic with wide eyes, gritting his teeth:
“Impudent brat! Today, I will tear out your tongue and slaughter you!”
The Sword Lunatic wasn't afraid at all:
“Whoa, whoa, whoa. You're an ancestor of an empire, after all. Don't talk about killing and slaughtering all the time. You should quickly check on Fellow Daoist Tianji instead!”
“Fellow Daoist Tianqi, calm down. The matter at hand is more important...”
Seeing this, the Yunhua Ancestor quickly stepped forward to hold back the raging Emperor Tianqi, speaking in a soothing tone.
He was terrified that Emperor Tianqi would start a fight with the Sword Lunatic on the spot, completely throwing everything into chaos.
After calming Emperor Tianqi down, the Yunhua Ancestor turned to look at the Sword Lunatic. His face was cold, and his voice carried a heavy warning:
“Fellow Daoist Jian, I hope you shut your mouth immediately and stop talking. Otherwise, we will throw you out!”
The Sword Lunatic opened his mouth, about to argue back,
but he forced himself to hold back. He couldn't let them kick him out.
Thus, he nodded, crossed his arms, and stood to the side, muttering to himself:
Fine, I won't talk. Who wants to deal with you guys anyway!
By now, the Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor had already examined Tianji Old Man's condition.
He also fed him a recovery pill.
“He is heavily injured and unconscious. His divine sense has been damaged.”
Hearing the Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor's words, the Yunhua Ancestor and the Tianqi Ancestor also frowned deeply.
Did Tianji Old Man manage to calculate who the culprit was before this?
At the same time, they understood that the culprit's strength or the power behind them was definitely not simple.
Emperor Tianqi looked irritably at the unconscious Tianji Old Man:
“When will he wake up?”
The Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor shook his head and sighed,
“I don't know!”
The Tianqi Ancestor's face turned even uglier. Didn't this mean they had busied themselves for half the day all for nothing!
The culprit was still at large!
Whether the culprit was at large didn't matter; the real issue was the immortal-grade techniques and immortal artifacts!
The three of them stared at the unconscious Tianji Old Man, falling silent for quite a while.
The Sword Lunatic was so bored he yawned one after another.
Finally, as he let out his eighth yawn, the Tianqi Ancestor said in a deep voice,
“What do we do now?”
The Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor and the Yunhua Ancestor exchanged a glance.
Suddenly, they looked at the Sword Lunatic.
“Fellow Daoist Jian, is there still no news of your sect's Saint?”
the Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor asked.
The Sword Lunatic was taken aback. What is this? Are they talking to me?
Immediately, he looked up at the sky and remained silent.
“What kind of attitude is that? We're talking to you!”
the Tianqi Ancestor barked angrily.
The Sword Lunatic rolled his eyes and looked at him like he was an idiot.
“You!”
Just as the Tianqi Ancestor was about to blow his top again, the Yunhua Ancestor realized what was happening and quickly said,
“Fellow Daoist Jian, you can speak now!”
