Chapter 1270: A Failed Display of Power
As a god, the purple-haired old man's move, which had been accumulating power for so long, was naturally grand in scale.
Even though he controlled the power he radiated, it still affected the flower beds and lawns of the Wang Gong garden that had just been rebuilt not long ago.
Plants that could grow in the Plague Divine Kingdom already possessed considerable toxicity and resistance to poison.
But under the energy fluctuations of this black-purple spiral, they all withered and rotted, turning into dust, blown away by the surging air waves, as if they had never existed.
This was still with the purple-haired old man trying his best to control it; if he had gone all out regardless of everything, everything in the Wang Gong would have completely rotted by now!
Hmph, even if my seniority is not as high as yours, this 【Poison Burial Palm】, which has been accumulating power for a long time, is enough to make your soul tremble!
Furthermore, you are still in such a breezy posture; this time I will definitely make you taste bitterness!
However, the scene the purple-haired old man imagined did not appear.
Seeing Yun Shen maintained his original posture, standing in place without moving at all, just taking the hit with his back.
The black-purple spiral condensed in the purple-haired old man's palm was stuck on Seeing Yun Shen's back, blocked by a layer of golden light emitted by the Merit Divine Halo.
The purple-haired old man's expression gradually changed from his original sneer and complacency to suspicion and uncertainty.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Although because this was not a life-and-death battle, the purple-haired old man did not use desperate moves, this move was definitely not weak; how could this person have no reaction at all?!
When the power of this palm gradually dissipated, the purple-haired old man stood behind Seeing Yun Shen, his eyes complex and shocked.
He really didn't move at all...
Although he had restrained himself a bit and didn't cause too much impact on the outside world, since the other party could not move at all, it could be said that there was no impact at all, which meant that the other party's strength was far above his own!
However, the purple-haired old man also noticed that this layer of defense on Seeing Yun Shen was all brought about by the power of merit.
It was just that the purple-haired old man didn't care about this point; after all, since the day he was born, except for this Adventurer incident, there had never been a world-ending crisis in the whole world, and it was impossible to obtain such terrifying power of merit.
As for the incoming Adventurers?
According to the information obtained from soul-searching, there was no such possibility at all; the ages of this group of Adventurers were very limited, so where would they have the opportunity to obtain such a massive amount of merit?
After a long time, the purple-haired old man sighed deeply, bowed, and cupped his hands, "Senior's divine powers are peerless; this junior is convinced."
"Oh? You're not continuing?"
Seeing Yun Shen's voice remained indifferent, and he turned around to look at the purple-haired old man who was bowing before him.
"Senior's cultivation reaches the heavens; this junior naturally should not overestimate his own strength and waste Senior's time."
The purple-haired old man was ashamed, suspecting that this Senior cultivated merit to become a god, which was why he could use the power of merit to form defensive means.
One move or three moves, what difference could it make?
Seeing Yun Shen: "Mm, remember the ten-fold compensation."
Purple-haired old man: "... After this junior returns, I will order people to send the compensation and properly repair all the damage."
This small matter didn't count for anything to the purple-haired old man; it only took one sentence, and people below would do it.
After the purple-haired old man left, Seeing Yun Shen finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Thank goodness, this time it was considered a successful bluff.
Existences like this who stand at the peak of a world are less likely to take risks and fight with their lives.
Especially since the purple-haired old man couldn't see through any of his information, he would naturally be cautious in his actions.
The more arrogant and confident he was, the less the other party dared to act rashly.
In fact, even if the purple-haired old man really stayed to ask Seeing Yun Shen various questions about cultivation, it might not necessarily stump him.
Although he didn't understand, there were plenty of people in the Flat Peach Immortal Realm who did!
If he needed to guide the purple-haired old man, he would let Wu Xiangning use the Heavenly Derivation Small Spirit Communicator to contact the Eternal Divine Beast in the Flat Peach Immortal Realm, and then convey it to Seeing Yun Shen through mental communication.
However, since it wasn't needed, Seeing Yun Shen wouldn't waste that effort.
"For a long time in the future, the Soul-Suppressing Kingdom will not be harassed by these indigenous powerhouses."
This was the biggest gain from bluffing the purple-haired old man; strike one blow to avoid a hundred blows.
Even a god had suffered a setback here, so some small fry would be even less likely to disturb him.
At the same time, even if there were some big commotions in the Soul-Suppressing Kingdom in the future, it would basically not arouse the covetousness of outsiders.
The special ghost-raising method that the outside world had always believed the Soul-Suppressing Kingdom possessed would also be regarded as the handiwork of this "Ancestor."
It was just that there was one drawback to this, which was that Seeing Yun Shen could not use the Merit Divine Halo in the Main World for a long time in the future.
Otherwise, if the outside world learned that he possessed great merit, not only would this matter itself be very strange, but it would also attract the renewed attention of the powerhouses of the Plague Divine Kingdom, which would expose his identity as an Adventurer.
After the purple-haired old man left, he ordered people to prepare a compensation gift to be sent to the Soul-Suppressing Kingdom and had people repair the Wang Cheng.
Yes, not the Wang Gong, but the entire Wang Cheng.
The Wang Cheng itself was in a semi-ruined state; logically speaking, this shouldn't be his responsibility, but he still did a favor.
Anyway, it wasn't him who was tired.
It was precisely this move that attracted the attention of many unknown people.
Someone came to ask the purple-haired old man what happened, and the purple-haired old man gave an ambiguous answer, the general meaning being that he met a Senior and they talked happily, and he even guided him for several hours.
He just wouldn't say that he had been accumulating power for several hours.
With the purple-haired old man's endorsement, in the eyes of most indigenous powerhouses in the Plague Divine Kingdom, the suspicion on the Soul-Suppressing Kingdom was completely cleared.
However, this also attracted the attention and suspicion of many lords, but for a while, they didn't dare to act recklessly.
What if it was true? What would they do then?
Several days passed, and Seeing Yun Shen felt quite speechless listening to the reported news. ===== CHAPTER 1272 =====
