Chapter 260: The Process
In the Qingyun Dao Sect, the bunch of men in black would have never thought that Daoist Tai Hua was a supreme expert.
A Mahayana realm powerhouse.
There were very few in this world.
‘How could such a powerhouse appear in a small sect?’
At the rear cliff of Qingyun Dao Sect, Daoist Tai Hua removed the spirit talisman on his chest.
He was neither happy nor did he intend to boast. Instead, he looked at the men in black helplessly.
Daoist Tai Hua had a complicated look in his eyes. He was helpless and did not bear any hatred against the people.
“Senior, Senior, I hope you will forgive me.”
“We are just following orders, this is not our intention at all, I hope you will forgive us.”
The men in black began to chicken out.
They immediately knelt on the ground and begged for forgiveness, because they didn’t know what to do apart from that.
They were facing a Mahayana realm powerhouse.
It would be an understatement to say that they were worlds apart from Daoist Tai Hua.
All of them tried to flee.
Facing a Mahayana realm cultivator, they really couldn’t resist at all. All they felt was fear and respect.
In the entire Qingyun Dao Sect, only one person was pleased while the rest were gloomy.
Even Daoist Tai Hua was displeased.
Da Xu was the only one who was happy.
After being tortured for such a long time, he didn’t expect that the Sect Leader was actually a hidden expert.
To be honest, Da Xu was curious at first, but the Sect Leader was clearly a supreme expert so there was no need for him to keep hiding.
Da Xu now understood that the Sect Leader was trying to confuse them.
He pretended to be weak at first, but his agenda was to force them to reveal the mastermind.
It was an impressive trick, but the only drawback was that it had put him under a lot of suffering.
Now that he had finished suffering, he was enjoying the bliss.
Da Xu struggled to break free from the light of the mirror.
He attacked right away and beat the people up into a pulp. He didn’t forget how they tortured him just now.
However, before they attacked, Da Xu looked at Daoist Tai Hua.
The latter seemed to be very troubled and vexed. After sensing the gaze that was shot on him, he neither answered nor restrained his intentions.
Da Xu immediately attacked and beat them up without hesitation.
He was extremely violent and brutal. After all, they didn’t show him any mercy just now.
“Stop fighting, stop fighting, you’re going to kill us.”
“We’ll tell you, we’ll tell you everything. Seniors, please spare us.”
“Exalted Immortal, Senior, we were just following the orders. We’re not the mastermind.”
They were beaten up so badly that they started to doubt life.
They were crying and screaming on the ground, completely spineless.
It was hard to imagine that the Emperor Star of the Great Xia Dynasty would send such people to assassinate Ye Ping.
‘They’ve only been beaten up for a short while and they can’t stand it anymore?’
“Enough, Da Xu.”
At this moment, Daoist Tai Hua sighed and stopped Da Xu.
“Sect Leader, are you going to let these guys off just like that?”
Hearing Daoist Tai Hua’s voice, Da Xu was a little depressed. In his opinion, it seemed that this group of people had come over to assassinate them.
How could he let them off just like that?
However, Daoist Tai Hua did not answer Da Xu and instead looked at the group of people.
“Have the royals of the Great Xia Dynasty already found out about Changyu’s identity?”
Daoist Tai Hua spoke up and looked at everyone calmly.
“Changyu?”
“Senior, it’s Ye Ping.”
“Yes, Senior, you are wrong again, we have come to deal with Ye Ping.”
Everyone spoke up seriously. They were insistent on correcting Daoist Tai Hua’s mistakes.
“Okay, do they know about Ye Ping’s identity?”
Daoist Tai Hua didn’t have much to say as he merely asked about that.
“Yes, the Emperor Star is already aware of Ye Ping’s identity.”
The man in black replied but the Emperor Star he was talking about was not the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, but the Crown Prince, who was the future Emperor Star.
“Indeed.”
Daoist Tai Hua sighed as he stood near them and slowly spoke.
“Senior Brother, you really guessed correctly, the true demon is hiding in the Great Xia Dynasty.”
However, Daoist Tai Hua shook his head helplessly.
He then waved his hand and looked at Da Xu.
“Da Xu, send them home.”
Having gotten his answer, Daoist Tai Hua had nothing more to say. Since they could not be used, he asked Da Xu to send them home.
However, as soon as he said that, Da Xu was stunned.
He didn’t quite understand the meaning of this sentence.
However, before the men in black could explain further, Daoist Tai Hua waved his hand and sealed their mouths, rendering them immobile and unable to speak.
At this moment, Da Xu probably understood what Daoist Tai Hua meant.
“Okay, Sect Leader.”
Da Xu was overjoyed. He had been greatly angered previously and he was also the Ghost King so he was used to doing such things.
Daoist Tai Hua sat alone on the rear cliff of the Qingyun Dao Sect and fell silent.
His eyes were full of helplessness.
He had just removed the spirit talisman of his body.
In fact, he was indeed a hidden expert, but it was not because he didn’t like to brag.
Rather, more than twenty years ago, he had been chased by a bunch of people after he stole Su Changyu from the palace of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The process of the entire matter was extremely complicated.
More than twenty years ago, everyone in the world knew that an auspicious light descended from heaven and the world was full of auspiciousness when the Tenth Prince was born.
However, no one knew that there was endless sanguine light after the auspicious light.
A fiend was also born on the very same day.
The reason that Daoist Tai Hua stole Su Changyu away was because he had calculated with the Supreme Heavenly Secret that someone wanted to harm the infant Su Changyu.
He wanted to sacrifice Su Changyu to awaken the fiend.
As an orthodox cultivator, Daoist Tai Hua naturally could not let this happen.
Hence, he intervened and saved Su Changyu.
However, Daoist Tai Hua did not expect that the person who wanted to harm Su Changyu was his Senior Brother.
His Senior Brother had defected to the Fiendcelestial Cult and attempted to use Su Changyu’s blood to awaken the Fiend of Destruction.
Hence, more than twenty years ago, he and his Senior Brother had a huge fight in Qingzhou, which he won by a close margin as he injured his Senior Brother and then sealed his cultivation level while hiding in the Qingyun Dao Sect.
However, he did not expect…
He encountered such a troublesome matter that left him with no choice but to remove the spirit talisman.
Once he did, his Senior Brother would detect him immediately.
In other words, things had gotten much more troublesome.
However, Daoist Tai Hua knew that there were many things that could not be kept hidden now, so instead of continuing to hide, he might as well be open and aboveboard.
He would stay firm and deal with everything that came his way.
However, at this moment, someone spoke up slowly.
“Junior Brother, we haven’t met in more than two decades. Miss me yet?”
