Asura Mad Emperor

Chapter 201 A Mere Saint

"How do you know these things? Who on earth are you?"

Ye Xuanji took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, and fixed his gaze on Qinchuan.

He had not used the Heavenly Mystery Divine Pupil to probe Qinchuan's depths because his previous two attempts had failed and he had suffered backlash as a consequence.

If he were to continue to probe forcibly, the consequences would truly be unbearable for him.

Qinchuan set down his teacup, glanced at Ye Xuanji, and said in an unhurried tone, "Who am I? I am nothing more than the Saint Heir of this declining Congyun Sect."

"As for how I know these things, well... you can assume I learned them from reading books."

Upon hearing this, the corners of Ye Xuanji's mouth twitched. Such a perfunctory remark.

His gaze still intently on Qinchuan, it was obvious he did not believe Qinchuan's clearly dismissive statement.

However, Qinchuan had no intention of explaining any further.

In the eyes of others,

Ye Xuanji was a sage.

He was a renowned and formidable figure in the present Tianyuan Ancient Nation.

But in Qinchuan's eyes, a mere sage was hardly worth consideration.

To him, even sages were nothing but ants after all.

Ye Xuanji's silence did not lead to any supplementary explanation from Qinchuan, and this sudden quietness made the others present tense up, each sensing an oppressive atmosphere.

But in the end, the situation that the members of the Congyun Sect feared did not occur.

Eventually, Ye Xuanji picked up the Spiritual Tea in front of him and took a sip.

"Excellent tea."

Ye Xuanji felt the rich fragrance and the robust Spiritual Energy in the tea, his expression showing a slight emotional stir.

Such Spiritual Tea, even he, a sage, had not tasted before.

And with his broad knowledge and experience, he could not even identify this tea.

The tea gave him the same impression as the man before him, Qinchuan, elusive and inscrutable.

A single remark, "Excellent tea," broke the stifling atmosphere.

Ye Xuanji set down his teacup, returned to a state of calm, and spoke, "The words you spoke earlier were not false. Indeed, the pupil skill I just used is the lost Heavenly Mystery Divine Pupil."

"However, for you to say that I will not take action against Congyun Sect seems overly presumptuous!" Experience new tales on empire

Ye Xuanji spoke.

At these words, the high-ranking members of the Congyun Sect on-site felt a chill.

Upon hearing it, a faint smile appeared on Qinchuan's lips as he said with composure, "You won't take action, and you don't dare to."

"Since you possess the Heavenly Mystery Divine Pupil, you must have already seen the rising purple qi and the destiny that flows like a dragon around the Congyun Sect."

"You must have also seen the declining destiny of the Taixuan Sect, Li Mountain Sword Sect, Red Daen Gate, Five Elements Sect, Taiyan Sword Sect, and the like, with the aura of catastrophe lingering around them. Why is that?"

"You've seen all this, so you know that the Congyun Sect cannot possibly be wiped out! Such destiny is the will of heaven. To destroy the Congyun Sect is to go against the will of heaven; that's why the Taixuan Sect, Li Mountain Sword Sect, Red Daen Gate, Five Elements Sect, Taiyan Sword Sect, and the other sects that previously came to attack the Congyun Sect all suffered divine retribution, their destiny waned, and calamities emerged."

"With your mere Saint Realm cultivation, can you afford to defy the will of heaven?"

"Clearly, you have some self-awareness and know your own strength. That's why you brought substantial gifts to apologize, hoping to sever the calamity of the Taixuan Sect and perhaps the karmic ties you yourself have incurred."

"You should be grateful, grateful that you have awakened the Heavenly Mystery Divine Pupil and can see all this clearly."

"Otherwise, with your mere Saint Realm cultivation level, daring to defy the destiny decreed by the heavens, you would surely never recover from your calamity. So, you came here actually to save yourself, didn't you?"

Qinchuan spoke slowly and deliberately.

Not far away, the members of the Congyun Sect, as well as Zhou Yuanyi, standing behind Ye Xuanji, heard Qinchuan's words and all gaped in astonishment, feeling completely befuddled, not understanding what Qinchuan was really talking about.

However, these words fell into Ye Xuanji's ears like a thunderbolt on a clear day, striking his heart and sending a shiver through his whole being as he looked at Qinchuan with eyes suddenly filled with horror.

Because, what Qinchuan said was spot on!

He pierced through Ye Xuanji's purpose and intentions without missing a mark!

At this moment, a chill couldn't help but rise in Ye Xuanji's heart as he looked at Qinchuan with blazing eyes, full of shock.

He had attempted to fathom Qinchuan with the rumored Heavenly Mystery Divine Pupil twice, yet he couldn't see through Qinchuan in the slightest.

And yet Qinchuan, could see through him with absolute clarity!

He saw through his purpose, saw through his intentions, completely!

He had everything under control!

Who was this person before him, this seemingly mere sixteen-year-old youth, and what kind of divine being was he?

To possess such terrifying means!

Originally puzzled, the members of the Congyun Sect and Zhou Yuanyi, seeing Ye Xuanji's reaction, were also suddenly shocked. Could it be that what Qinchuan said was all true?

Ye Xuanji, coming to apologize to the Congyun Sect, was it to save the Taixuan Sect, was it to save himself?

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation on their scalps and their gazes involuntarily fell on Qinchuan, their hearts churning with agitation, unable to calm down.

Especially the members of the Congyun Sect, when recalling what Qinchuan had said during Ye Xuanji's earlier visit, couldn't help but draw a sharp breath.

Because at that time, Qinchuan had already stated that Ye Xuanji had come merely to offer an apology so they didn't need to worry.

Now thinking back, everyone felt even more astonished and uneasy. They couldn't imagine how Qinchuan had managed to see through everything and how he had everything so effortlessly under control.

Zhou Xi, serving by Qinchuan's side, now looked at him with eyes that shone brightly, the astonishment in her beautiful eyes was obvious.

"You are right, I have indeed come to offer an apology," Ye Xuanji finally said, sighing lightly as he managed to smooth the waves in his heart.

His gaze towards Qinchuan clearly carried a greater weight, and even a hint of wariness.

The presence of a Saint Realm powerhouse was now regarding a mere teenager from the Meridian Opening Realm with such caution and wariness.

To speak of it would sound absurd.

"Ancestor…"

Zhou Yuanyi couldn't help but open his mouth, but ultimately he hesitated, unsure what to say, feeling an overwhelming sense of blockage in his heart.

His Taixuan Sect, ever since Ye Xuanji had established the sect, had been thriving daily, developing rapidly, and eventually becoming the leading Superior Sect of Shanhe County.

And now, in an instant, the Taixuan Sect had suffered a severe blow, with its higher-ups and elite all but decimated here.

And the founder of his Taixuan Sect had to lower his head to apologize to the Congyun Sect!

Although Ye Xuanji had already said that he came to apologize earlier and had already presented generous apologetic gifts,

at that time, Zhou Yuanyi could still sense that even though Ye Xuanji was apologizing, his demeanor still concealed a bit of arrogance because Ye Xuanji was in control.

But now, with Ye Xuanji's soft sigh and his words, there was no longer any trace of that arrogance, instead carrying a hint of helplessness and compromise, which came as he passively admitted his mistake under the invisible pressure of Qinchuan's words.

One active, one passive.

Though seemingly the same outcome, the difference between the two is like heaven and earth.
