Chapter 2755

It was only after a full half an hour that Wen Zishan finished proclaiming. She withdrew her hand and looked at Yang Kai, asking, “Do you remember everything I said？”

Yang Kai replied solemnly, “I remember.”

“Very good.” Wen Zishan nodded in satisfaction and gestured with her hand towards the back. Chen Qian, who was standing behind Wen Zishan, immediately held an object and handed it to Wen Zishan.”

“Receive thisElder Jade Tablet. From now on, Yang Kai, you are aElder of my Qingyang Temple. You will advance and retreat with the temple, and live and die together with it！”

“I will follow the orders of the Lord!” Yang Kai held his hands high and received theElder Jade Tablet. Then, he returned the previous Qingyang Gold Token to Wen Zishan.”

From this moment on, Yang Kai was aElder of the Qingyang Temple. The Jade Tablet was not large and was also very light, but Yang Kai felt it was heavy in his palm. The heaviness came from the care and protection of the elders of the Qingyang Temple towards him.

“Offer sacrifices to the heavens！” Wen Zishan waved her hand and shouted in a deep voice.

“Roar…” A beast’s roar resounded through the sky. Looking in the direction of the beast’s roar, one could see that Qiu Ran was flying through the air, with a cage grasped in his hand. Inside the cage was a majestic beast. The beast was an ape-shaped monster. Its back was golden and shiny, as if cast from gold and iron. Even though it was imprisoned in the cage and bound by the power of the restriction, it still exuded monstrous fierceness. It continuously rammed its body against the cage but could never break free, roaring continuously.

“Golden-backed Heavenly Ape！” Someone exclaimed in surprise.

On the square, many of the Emperor Venerable Realm experts changed their complexions.

For the title of an elder, this sacrifice to the heavens is the last ceremony and it is also a bridge for the newly promoted elder to show off one or two supernatural powers and secret techniques in public, allowing everyone to see the strength of the newly promoted elder.

Generally speaking, the monster beast selected in this link is neither too strong nor too weak. If it is too strong and fails to succeed, it will surely make people laugh. If it is too weak, it will not be able to show the ability of the newly promoted elder.

And this time, the Qingyang Temple actually selected a monster beast as famous and fierce as the Golden-backed Heavenly Ape, which is really unexpected.

Although the Golden-Backed Celestial Ape is a lower-grade 12th-order monster beast, equivalent to only a 1st-layer Emperor Venerable Realm cultivator, if one were really to encounter such a monster beast, a 1st-layer Emperor Venerable Realm cultivator would basically have no choice but to flee in the face of it. Because the defensive power of this monster beast is extremely astonishing, and its recovery ability is also very strong. An ordinary 1st-layer Emperor Venerable Realm cultivator would have to go all out to kill it, and it is not necessarily possible to succeed.

Yang Kai looks to be only at the 1st-layer Emperor Venerable Realm. If he were really to face this Golden-Backed Celestial Ape, could he successfully complete this Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony？

Many people muttered in their hearts, fearing that if Yang Kai made a mistake and made the Azure Sun Temple a laughingstock, the matter would be unmanageable.

However, some people secretly guessed that the strength of this monster beast should have been restricted to make it easier for Yang Kai to kill.

Just as everyone was suspicious, Wen Zishan nodded slightly at Qiu Ran. Qiu Ran made several hand seals and suddenly removed the cage that imprisoned the Golden-Backed Celestial Ape. With a flash of light, even the restraining force of the prohibited was released.

“Roar…” An even more terrifying boomed out. Once freed the Golden-Backed Celestial Ape was like a tiger entering the forest or a dragon swimming in the sea. Its aura Youdaoplaceholder0, and it pounded its chest with both fists, making a dong dong sound.Its red eyes swept around.

Many people’s expressions changed in shock, and their hearts were greatly horrified.

This Golden-Backed Heaven-Penetrating Ape has completely lost its restraint, and in its fury, it is afraid that it will perform beyond normal. Now, a First-Order Emperor Venerable simply cannot be its opponent. Only a Second-Order Emperor Venerable can suppress it to some extent.

What is Qingyang Temple doing？ Wen Zishan has been shrewd all her life. Why is she confused at this time？ Something has gone wrong with the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony. Isn’t this going to make people all over the world laugh？

A flash of sword light, and Yang Kai has already levitated and flown up.

Before on Purple Bamboo Peak, Gao Xueting had clearly told him all the procedures. He also knew what he should do in this Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony. A mere Twelfth-Order Lower-Rank Monster Beast, he didn’t take it seriously at all.

A million swords were sacrificed and pointed remotely at that Golden-Backed Heaven-Penetrating Ape. The killing intent was locked onto this monster beast.

As if feeling something, stimulated by Yang Kai’s killing intent, the Golden-Backed Heaven-Penetrating Ape immediately looked back. Its demonic energy was rolling, and with a roar, it charged towards Yang Kai, wanting to tear Yang Kai into pieces.

Just at this time, a sudden change occurred. A stream of light suddenly shot over from the distance, as fast as lightning, piercing through the body of that Golden-Backed Heaven-Penetrating Ape and directly pouncing in front of Yang Kai.

“Who is it？” Wen Zishan shouted loudly. When she wanted to rescue, it was already too late.

With a clear tinkling sound, the Million Swords in Yang Kai’s hand flashed with light, and his figure burst backward, retreating a full thirty zhang before stabilizing his figure. His face suddenly paled, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

It was not until this moment that Wen Zishan stepped in front of that flowing light, and Gao Xueting also instantly arrived beside Yang Kai, blocking him behind her, her beautiful eyes vigilantly staring at the newcomer.

Peng…

With a dull thud, the golden-backed ape that was still full of vitality a moment ago actually exploded into a cloud of blood mist. In mid-air, it scattered and there was no trace of its bones left.

Everyone was stunned and stood up together. No one expected that someone would come and cause trouble in this final sacrificial ceremony, and not only kill the sacrificial object in one fell swoop, but also injure the protagonist of today’s grand ceremony.

This is slapping the Qingyang Temple in the face in public. How can this be tolerated？

However, being able to turn a 12th-order monster beast, the golden-backed ape, into a blood mist with one strike, this cultivation base is enough to shock people’s hearts. Among so many Emperor Venerable Realms present, definitely no more than three people can achieve this.

Who on earth dares to be so arrogant.

Looking closely, everyone couldn’t help but be stunned, showing a sudden realization, faintly feeling that today’s canonization ceremony might not end well.

“Elder Xue!” Wen Zishan’s eyes shrank slightly as she stared at the newcomer, her tone low, and her complexion a little ugly.

The person who came was actually Xue Zhengmao, an elder of the Star God Palace. This was something he didn’t expect. After all, Xiao Yuyang was already here. As an elder of the Star God Palace, one was enough. Why did this Xue Zhengmao come again？ And as soon as he came, he made trouble, and it was in such an occasion, not giving the Qingyang Temple any face at all.

While speaking, he looked over at Xiao Yuyang’s side and saw that Xiao Yuyang’s brows were slightly furrowed, as if he knew nothing about this matter.

“Hall Master Wen!” Xue Zhengmao replied indifferently. His gaze over Wen Zishan and landed on Yang Kai, and he said, “You are Yang Kai? You actually didn’t have anything serious after taking one of my blows. That’s quite remarkable. However… come with me first.”

As he spoke, he directly stretched out his hand to grab Yang Kai.

Wen Zishan’s expression turned angry, and he raised his hand and slapped out a palm towards Xue Zhengmao.

“Bold！” When Xue Zhengmao shouted angrily, he changed his claw into a palm and fought against Wen Zishan’s palm. The air wave swept through, and the void collapsed. Both sides took three steps back respectively, and it was actually a draw.

“Elder Xue, this seat respects you as a guest, but as soon as you come, you want to capture the elder of my temple. This matter doesn’t seem reasonable, does it？” Wen Zishan snorted coldly.

Xue Zhengmao said, “Your temple’s elder?” Wen Zishan, you are really going backwards as you live. Don’t you know how much trouble this brat has caused? How dare you still protect him? Do you want to disregard the foundation of Qingyang Temple?”

“I don’t know what kind of trouble Elder Yang has caused to make Elder Xue so angry？ I still need to ask for advice.” Wen Zishan did not give in at all.

“I won’t argue with you about these things. Today, I must take this Yang Kai away.” Xue Zhengmao snorted coldly, his attitude tough. He turned to look at Xiao Yuyang and said, “Elder Xiao, what do you think？”

As soon as these words came out, Wen Zishan’s expression changed slightly.

Although he was a Third-Order Emperor Senior, he could only deal with one person of the same cultivation level. If Xiao Yuyang also had the same idea as Xue Zhengmao, then Yang Kai would probably be doomed today. Even if all the Emperor Seniors in Qingyang Temple were dispatched together, they would not be able to keep him.

Xiao Yuyang frowned and said, “Five days ago, I reported this matter to the Great Emperor and am waiting for the Great Emperor’s verdict！”

Wen Zishan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Yuyang’s non-interference was a good thing for him. He was not afraid of just Xue Zhengmao alone.

“Hmph!” Xue Zhengmao didn’t get the answer he wanted and seemed to have some opinions on Xiao Yuyang as well. But since they were both elders of the Star God Palace and neither was more powerful than the other, even though he was unhappy in his heart, he couldn’t say much. He turned his head and looked at Wen Zishan and said, Hall Master Wen, the ceremony has not been completed yet. This brat Yang Kai is not yet aElder of your temple. Hand him over to this old man and let me take him away. It will only be beneficial to your temple and there will be no harm.

Wen Zishan shook his head and said, “Although the ceremony has not been completed, Yang Kai has already received theElder jade disc. Who dares to say that he is not aElder of the temple?

“Are you so stubborn that you have to wait until the Great Emperor is angry before you are willing to bow your head？” Xue Zhengmao shouted angrily.

Wen Zishan smiled lightly and said, “The Great Emperor is wise and mighty. How could he be angry because of this kind of thing? Maybe he will even award Elder Yang for cleaning up the portal for the God Palace.

“You’re so presumptuous!” Xue Zhengmao’s face turned iron blue.

Wen Zishan said coldly, “If you want to take Elder Yang away, you have to pass this seat first.”

“Do you really think I don’t dare to attack you？” Xue Zhengmao gritted his teeth and shouted in a low voice.

“Didn’t you already make a move before？” Wen Zishan retorted tit for tat.

These two Imperial mirrors, one sentence after another neither giving in to the other. Seeing that the anger was getting stronger and stronger, it seemed that they might fight at any time, which made the guests present tremble with fear and sweat all over their backs.

If these two were to fight, it would be lively indeed, but perhaps we ourselves would be affected by it.

No one wants to see such a thing happen.

Both of you, please calm your anger. Both of you are the mainstays of the Southern Domain. You meet often. Why be like this？” Feng Ming of the Wuhua Palace stood up and tried to persuade them.”

That’s right. Both of you, don’t be angry. Sit down and have a cup of tea first.” Zeng Yuan, the vice president of the Qiyao Chamber of Commerce, also stood up and said.”

Chen Wenhao of the Tianwu Holy Land said in a deep voice, “Didn’t Elder Xiao say that he is waiting for the Great Emperor’s decision? Five days have passed. Presumably it won’t be long before the Great Emperor’s will is issued. Why is Elder Xue in such a hurry at this moment?”

Xue Zhengmao frowned and, after pondering for a moment, said, “Fine, then this will wait here quietly for the Great Emperor’s order. I’ll see how you, Wen Zishan can protect that brat at that time.”

As he spoke, he glared at Xiao Yuyang. He was also very angry about today’s matter. He originally thought that with his appearance, Yang Kai would surely be caught without a fight. He didn’t expect that Wen Zishan would not give him face like this. More importantly, he didn’t even know that Xiao Yuyang had reported the matter here to the Great Emperor. If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have come up with this. Anyway, the Great Emperor’s order will be issued in a few days. With the Great Emperor’s order, how dare Wen Zishan resist？
