Chapter 496: He He Zongzhu! Something terrible has happened!

Meanwhile, deep within the Eight Gates Heaven-Tilting Hall, inside a grand hall built entirely of mysterious ice jade.

Boom!

The entire grand hall suddenly trembled violently, and the hanging ancient bronze bell rang without wind.

The figure sitting cross-legged on the cold jade bed suddenly opened his eyes, two rays of divine light cutting through the dimness like lightning.

"Who dares to cause trouble in my Eight Gates Heaven-Tilting Hall?!"

Yuan Tianhe roared, and nine purple pillars of energy rose around him.

This contemporary He He Zongzhu of the Eight Gates Heaven-Tilting Hall had a face as firm as if carved by a knife, with a golden vertical mark between his brows shining brilliantly.

When he stood up, the temperature of the entire grand hall plummeted, and layers of frost condensed on the ground.

As the He He Zongzhu of a hidden sect, how could he let people be presumptuous on his turf!

The disciples standing in the hall shivered, their foreheads pressed to the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

The He He Zongzhu had been in seclusion for three months, yet today he was awakened by someone—who could withstand this fury?

Yuan Tianhe waved his sleeves and said coldly: "Order the seven Elders to activate the 'Heavenly Net Array'! I want to see which blind person..."

Before the words could finish, the hall door was pushed open violently.

The sinister Elder stumbled in, his face as pale as paper: "He He Zongzhu! Something terrible has happened!"

Yuan Tianhe stood with his hands behind his back, his robes moving without wind, and he snorted coldly: "What's the panic? I already know someone has trespassed on the island. With the strength of that person outside the island, it is normal that you are no match. Wait for me to..."

The sinister Elder stomped his feet in anxiety: "He He Zongzhu, no, don't be in a hurry!"

Yuan Tianhe frowned: "What do you mean?"

The sinister Elder swallowed his saliva and said tremblingly: "The one who came is... is the Emperor of May Tian Ce, His Majesty Li Chen! He says he is here to... to inspect!"

Crack!

The mysterious ice jade floor within a three-zhang radius under Yuan Tianhe's feet suddenly cracked.

The anger on his face instantly solidified, replaced by an expression of having seen a ghost.

"You... you said who?" Yuan Tianhe seemed to want to confirm.

The sinister Elder said with a serious face, "It is His Majesty Li Chen! It is that May Tian Ce Son of Heaven who suppressed and killed the Taihua Sword Sect alone! His subordinates in the Sage Realm are as numerous as clouds, and it is said that two of the three major Daoist Alliances in the cultivation world have already been completely controlled by him."

He said this to keep the He He Zongzhu from being impulsive.

Yuan Tianhe gasped, and fine beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

The He He Zongzhu of the Eight Gates Heaven-Tilting Hall, who had just been imposing, was now like a helpless child.

He had seen many powerhouses, but this was his first time seeing an Emperor in the Sage Realm.

After all, there weren't many Emperors in the Sage Realm, and he had happened to encounter one.

He suddenly erupted and slapped the back of the sinister Elder's head: "You bastard, His Majesty has arrived, why didn't you say so earlier!"

This slap looked fierce, but in reality, not even half a point of force was used.

The sinister Elder understood and cooperated by staggering a few steps, saying with a mournful face: "This subordinate only just found out."

This was giving Yuan Tianhe a way out, because Yuan Tianhe wasn't just about to go deal with Li Chen, and the disciples were all watching.

Yuan Tianhe took a deep breath and quickly tidied his clothes: "Quick! Notify the kitchen to prepare 'Nine-Turn Spirit Ginseng Tea', and have the Treasure Pavilion bring the 'Thousand-Year Flesh Lingzhi'!"

Even if the Sect Masters of other hidden sects visited, Yuan Tianhe would not use such high-specification treatment to entertain them.

It can be seen that he still had a certain amount of awe for Li Chen.

In other words: at the very least, he was unwilling to offend Li Chen for no reason.

Who doesn't know that Li Chen is the true master of this May Tian Ce Dynasty.

Having said that, he strode toward the outside of the hall, the anger on his face long gone, replaced by a spring-breeze-like smile. ===== CHAPTER 497 =====
