Chapter 787: Continuing the Journey
Upon hearing the words of the Holy Palace's Law Enforcement Great Elder, the demon disciples finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They were indeed very angry at Lin Feng's actions.
They stood with Xiao Ye to expel Lin Feng because they were infuriated by Lin Feng.
However, as Lin Feng is currently the number one devilish disciple of the Holy Palace, if such a thing as expulsion were to spread, the Taiyi Palace would surely become a joke.
Thus, their greatest concern was that the law enforcement elders of the Holy Palace might punish them upon learning of this incident.
After all, they were just disciples and lacked the right to expel disciples of the Holy Palace, let alone their top devilish disciple.
But hearing the words of the Holy Palace Main Hall's Law Enforcement Master put them at ease.
It seemed that these law enforcement elders had indeed been following them all along, witnessing everything firsthand.
Xiao Ye also smiled slightly, as the decision of the law enforcement elders was very satisfying, fair, and just to him.
"Then Elder, did you also see when we encountered the Ultimate Palace martial artists and fought them?" Xiao Ye asked.
"Indeed!"
The Law Enforcement Great Elder of the Main Hall nodded.
"Those Ultimate Palace martial artists, we noticed them from the beginning, but seeing their cultivation and strength weren't too strong, we decided to leave them for you to practice against."
"I just didn't expect the leader of those Ultimate Palace martial artists to know the long-lost summoning secret skill, and when he was about to use it, Junior Brother Yang almost couldn't resist jumping out to help, but I stopped him."
"When Junior Brother Yang saw you take out the Emperor Weapon, he held back, and you did not disappoint him by killing the leader with one stroke." The Law Enforcement Great Elder of the Holy Palace Main Hall said with a smile.
"I see!" Xiao Ye nodded, giving a grateful glance to Elder Yang, who appeared calm and composed.
Though Elder Yang didn't say it, his concern for Xiao Ye's safety was always on his mind.
"Hmph, you cheeky boy, you really scared the old man this time!" Elder Yang mockingly scolded with a smile.
"After seeing you easily deal with the Ultimate Palace's martial artists and then expel Lin Feng, we set off early so that if we encountered danger on the way, we could handle it ourselves. If the danger was small, we'd leave it to you to hone your skills."
"Like you, we encountered a space rift on the road and entered this strange space, where we got entangled with the Emperor Martial Realm ferocious beasts." Elder Yang continued to explain.
At this point, Xiao Ye and the fifteen devilish disciples nodded in sudden realization.
No wonder they met the Holy Palace elders here.
"Alright, Junior Brother Yang, say no more. During this mission, we already lost a demon disciple, so we should give these little guys some time to quickly restore their cultivation."
"Remember, even though we are here, there will still be casualties during the mission, as we won't intervene too many times; everything depends on yourselves, understood?" The Law Enforcement Great Elder of the Holy Palace Main Hall spoke solemnly.
Everyone nodded, and their moods turned heavy.
Indeed, the danger of this mission had exceeded their expectations, and the death of a devilish disciple had placed immense pressure on them.
Subsequently, these law enforcement elders sat firmly in the four directions, forming a circle around the devilish disciples to let them restore their cultivation as quickly as possible.
Having fought with the Emperor Martial Realm ferocious beasts for so long, the law enforcement elders had also sustained significant losses, and they too were seizing time to restore their cultivation, leaving only one law enforcement elder to keep watch for any disturbances around.
The space fell into silence, and the King Martial Realm ferocious beasts on the other side did not follow them, disappearing without a trace, as if they'd retreated somewhere unknown.
Since there were so many people around, Xiao Ye couldn't find a secluded place to practice alone, so he suppressed the Four Emperor Skills and silently devoured the King Crystal to replenish the losses in the realms of fire, earth, and water.
Fortunately, the Empress had left a sealing on Xiao Ye's body, preventing other strong practitioners from spying on his secrets, so after suppressing the Four Emperor Skills, there was no need to worry about Ai Te's secret being exposed.
Nevertheless, the commotion from Xiao Ye's cultivation was still enormous.
Rumble!
Seated solemnly on the ground, Xiao Ye seemed enshrouded in Divine Light like a cocoon, with every part of his body glowing; surging blood Qi flowed through him, roaring like ocean waves.
In this space, the wind howled and thunder rumbled, as a towering pillar of light shot up from Xiao Ye, piercing the clouds.
"This..."
The fifteen devilish disciples and the eleven law enforcement elders in the field were awakened by Xiao Ye's colossal cultivation commotion, watching him with faces full of shock.
"What kind of cultivation technique is this kid practicing?"
One of the law enforcement elders released his powerful Emperor's Martial Intent, trying to scan Xiao Ye but was stopped by a cold hum from Elder Yang.
Swoosh!
Two powerful Emperor's Martial Intents clashed in the void, creating waves like ripples on water, spreading ominously in all directions.
The elder, seeing Elder Yang's demeanor, withdrew his Emperor's Martial Intent with a wry smile.
He was sure that if he continued probing Xiao Ye's secrets, Elder Yang would certainly confront him relentlessly.
"As expected of Junior Brother Xiao Ye, his cultivation technique is terrifying, truly an enigma."
"Junior Brother Xiao Ye will undoubtedly bring glory to our Holy Palace soon."
...
The fifteen devilish disciples looked at Xiao Ye with envy.
At this moment, they felt admiration and joy for Xiao Ye's might, without a hint of jealousy.
Xiao Ye's previous actions had thoroughly earned their respect and won them over, including the Red Robed Gentleman, who previously had some minor conflicts with Xiao Ye.
The stronger Xiao Ye became, the happier they were, as Xiao Ye represented the face of their Holy Palace.
After two hours, all the Holy Palace's devilish disciples were ready, each with sharpening gazes, their cultivation almost fully restored, and their wounds mostly stabilized.
"Since everyone is prepared, let's continue on our way."
"Remember, this mission is extraordinary, and there might be unforeseen dangers ahead, so everyone must be cautious," the Law Enforcement Great Elder of the Main Hall finished speaking, then took to the sky with the ten elders.
