At this moment, Yan Ruyu, the person the two were talking about, was at the center of the Ghost Domain.
When he appeared, the entire main hall of the Divine Sect began to flicker with light.
A sense of doubt welled up in Yan Ruyu's heart.
The last time he came to the Ghost Domain was more than five hundred years ago. At that time, Bai Ze had signed a contract with the ancient ferocious beasts, and they had agreed not to enter each other's territories.
Now, so many years had passed in a flash.
How could such a mysterious palace appear on the land of the Ghost Domain?
With a thought, Yan Ruyu appeared in front of the induction stone.
Previously, the light should have come from this stone. What puzzled him now was who had been here before, causing such a phenomenon?
As soon as Yan Ruyu appeared, the many black - clothed men guarding the induction stone quickly picked up their weapons and pointed them at him in unison.
"Go and inform the grand elder quickly. An outsider has invaded."
But Yan Ruyu was looking at the induction stone, pondering something important.
He slowly approached the induction stone.
The people surrounding him immediately attacked, but they couldn't even get close to Yan Ruyu before being bounced back by his spiritual power.
"Quick, go and call the protectors."
Just as Yan Ruyu was about to reach out his hand towards the induction stone, four people suddenly appeared in front of him.
One of them was an old man, and the other three were young people. They all seemed to be quite capable.
"We are sorry for not giving you a proper welcome, honored guest. May I ask what your purpose is for coming to our Divine Sect?"
The Divine Sect? So the organization of this palace was called the Divine Sect?
Why did this place reek of the aura of alchemists?
Bai Zhi stepped forward and said, "Those who break in without permission will have only one fate."
But Yan Ruyu gently waved his sleeve, and the woman named Bai Zhi was instantly immobilized.
He squatted down, gently tapped the ground, and then waved his right hand. The stone slabs on the ground slid to both sides.
Beneath the stone slabs, there was flowing black water and intricate black tree roots.
Yan Ruyu frowned slightly.
Because he sensed that there was a great deal of the flesh, bones, and spiritual power of alchemists on these tree roots.
Was this such an evil way of nourishment done by this organization?
"Sir, what are you doing?"
At this moment, Grand Elder Yuan Tong slammed his staff on the ground. Suddenly, the palace trembled, and the stone slabs closed again.
Yan Ruyu stood up straight.
His cold eyes swept over everyone.
At this moment, he sensed a familiar aura. But he had no impression of anyone present.
"Grand elder, who is this person?"
The man was dressed in green clothes and had a peerless appearance.
A long flute slipped out of Yan Ruyu's sleeve. He held it in his hand and twirled it constantly.
The long flute? The green clothes?
Yuan Tong said in a panicked voice, "Are you the Emperor Venerable?"
Yan Ruyu said, "Why do you take the lives of innocent people?"
The man's voice was as mysterious as if it had come from beyond the nine heavens. As soon as he spoke, everyone in the hall felt a slight headache.
The appearance of the long flute meant that Yan Ruyu was angry.
Seeing this, Yuan Tong already felt that the person in front of him was indeed the legendary Emperor Venerable. Now, the Divine Throne was not in the hall, and the young master had just returned. They couldn't afford any more trouble.
The few people looked at each other and quickly knelt on the ground.
"Emperor Venerable, please judge clearly. Those alchemists were not killed by us. When we came here, they were already dead at the roots of the ancient tree. We are completely unaware of this."
Yan Ruyu narrowed his eyes slightly.
"There is the aura of a ferocious beast in your palace."
"Emperor Venerable, you can search at will. We found this place just to avoid the pursuit of the ferocious beasts. How could we possibly hide a ferocious beast in the palace?"
Yuan Tong's eyes didn't seem to be lying.
"Someone came here before?"
"No."
Yan Ruyu said, "You'd better be telling the truth."
At this moment, the sound of a dragon's roar came from outside the door. Yan Ruyu glanced at everyone and said, "I'll discuss this with you later."
Then he disappeared in front of the induction stone.
Yuan Tong let out a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Ming Yue asked, "Grand elder, is this person the Millennium Imperial Teacher?"
Yuan Tong nodded.
In this world, apart from him and the Divine Throne, no one else could emit such a terrifying power. With just a glance, he could cause the mountains and rivers to change.
"Inform the Spiritual Divine Throne to hide the palace. If it's too late, the secret of the Divine Throne and the major event of our Divine Sect may be revealed."
The few people also knew the seriousness of the matter.
They quickly returned to the inner chamber of the Divine Sect and then lit eight incense sticks. Immediately, the burning incense smoke slowly gathered into a human - like shape.
Seeing the appearance of the Divine Throne, everyone quickly knelt down.
Yuan Tong told him all about today's events in detail. The human - shaped figure formed by the green smoke nodded slightly and distributed his power to the five grand elders present.
"With the inheritance power of my son, you will surely be able to disappear without a trace this time."
Everyone took their seats and put their spiritual power and mental power into the formation. In less than a moment, the huge palace disappeared without a trace from its original place.
After Yan Ruyu dealt with the ferocious beast and turned back, he could no longer see the palace.
"This palace is really strange."
It seemed that some things were not much different from what he had imagined.
At this moment, in front of Yan Ruyu were the ancient ferocious beasts Taotie, Qiongqi, Hundun, and other fierce beasts.
He put the long flute to his lips, and the melodious music came out of the jade flute. The irritable ferocious beasts began to calm down slowly.
Yan Ruyu was communicating with the ferocious beasts.
There were hundreds, even thousands of ancient ferocious beasts on the opposite side. If just one of them got out, it could destroy an entire state. But at this moment, there was only Yan Ruyu facing them.
The sound of the flute stopped, and Yan Ruyu put down the long flute.
"I think you should all understand what I mean."
"This Nine - Regions Continent was founded by our Feng Clan's imperial family. If you really want to touch it, then the sons of our Feng Clan will surely fight you to the death."
The ferocious beasts took a step back.
The people of the Feng Clan were not to be feared. What was terrifying was the divine fire they carried.
Especially the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire. Once the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire appeared, eight out of ten demonic beasts in the Ghost Domain would be burned to ashes. If the three divine fires appeared at the same time, even these ancient ferocious beasts might not be able to escape the power of his long flute.
The fear of Yan Ruyu had a long - standing history.
"Xiaobai."
Hearing Yan Ruyu call it, Bai Ze twisted its body and came in front of the beasts.
The ferocious beasts took two more steps back.
"As long as you all abide by the rules we've set, we will also follow the contract. This land of the Ghost Domain will still be left to you."
Fortunately, Yan Ruyu had come in time. He had foresight.
Otherwise, those ferocious beasts would have broken through the seal and escaped from the Ghost Domain just now.
Now, Yan Ruyu had used the sound of the flute to soothe the emotions of the ferocious beasts and thickened the seal three times. At least for the next hundred years, the Ghost Domain would be safe.
Yan Ruyu mounted Bai Ze and rode away.
As he left, he looked at the place where the palace should have been and said calmly, "For the next hundred years, you can only stay in the Ghost Domain and reflect."
Yan Ruyu could see through the thoughts of the people of the Divine Sect at a glance.
