Chapter 859

Four venerable emperors descended upon Yunluo Holy City; no matter the reason, this surely signals major trouble.

The steward who had been pressing step by step and constantly mocking Ye Zhangqing, now under the pressure of the four venerable emperors, was completely dazed, his eyes filled with terror as he looked at Ye Zhangqing before him.

Although he was extremely unwilling to admit it in his heart, the four venerable emperors, aside from their Yunluo Holy Land, left only the Yaochi Holy Land and the Dao Yi Shengdi.

Moreover, those old women from the Yaochi Holy Land obviously would not appear for no reason, idly causing trouble in their Yunluo Holy City.

Then only one possibility remains...... but how could that be possible?

This kid just activated a distress talisman; why would it provoke the emergence of a venerable emperor ancestor?

Moreover, they are the four venerable emperors, which seems to be all the venerable emperor ancestors of the Dao Yi Shengdi.

The steward only felt that even breathing was now slightly difficult.

As for the members of the Spirit Chef Alliance nearby, they each let out a helpless sigh.

Here they are, what was supposed to come has come. You say, Yunluo Holy Land, why stir up these trivialities for no reason? Now it's fine, the four venerable emperor ancestors have all arrived—how will you respond?

The pressure quickly approached, and soon appeared above the skies of Yunluo Holy City.

At the same time, the interior of Yunluo Holy Land also fell into chaos.

Originally calm and even leisurely sipping tea, Grand Elder Wang Lin, upon sensing the aura of the four venerable emperors appearing in Yunluo Holy City, became completely dazed.

"Why would there be a venerable emperor?"

"Someone come."

He immediately ordered someone to investigate; the appearance of the four venerable emperors in Yunluo Holy City is definitely no minor matter.

Moreover, the Yunluo Saint Lord is currently imprisoned in the Iron Prison Pass, the four ancestors are in seclusion, and within the holy land, Wang Lin's cultivation is the highest, making things even more troublesome.

Even now, Wang Lin still hasn't realized how great a disaster he has caused.

And upon arriving at Yunluo Holy City, Yun Xiantai, Yu Mo, and the other two quickly locked onto Ye Zhangqing's location.

Under everyone's gaze, the four tore through space and appeared one after another beside Ye Zhangqing.

"Youngster Zhangqing, are you alright?"

"We were worried sick about you."

"Which bastard is causing you trouble?"

"You're not hurt, right? Let me check you quickly."

The appearance of the four completely shattered the last shred of hope of the Yunluo Holy Land's steward.

The Dao Yi Shengdi, indeed, are the ancestors of the Dao Yi Shengdi, and they truly came for this kid before us.

He just couldn't understand: what virtue or ability does this kid have to make the four venerable emperor ancestors of the holy land come in person?

You know, in their Yunluo Holy Land, even an inner disciple couldn't possibly summon the ancestors in person; just having a Great Saint Elder come would already be considered good.

Look at this kid—just a simple distress talisman actually summoned the four venerable emperor ancestors of the Dao Yi Shengdi.

By the way, isn't the teleportation array in the holy city closed? Then how did they manage to arrive so quickly?

Another question, but now is obviously not the time to discuss it, because the gazes of the four from Yun Xiantai have already fallen upon us.

As the four appeared, Ye Zhangqing didn't say much more, truthfully recounting the events without deliberately exaggerating anything.

After hearing Ye Zhangqing's account, the four from Yun Xiantai instantly understood what had happened, their gazes sweeping back and forth over the Yunluo Holy Land's steward and the group led by the sturdy man.

Facing the gazes of the four from Yun Xiantai, they no longer had their earlier arrogant and conceited demeanor.

One by one, their faces turned pale, their legs uncontrollably trembling—damn, it's too frightening.

"Senior, I................"

The steward of Yunluo Holy Land still wanted to insist a bit longer, but Yun Xiantai completely ignored him, merely glancing at him casually, causing the words at his lips to be swallowed back.

Afterwards, their gaze turned to the group of sturdy men.

By this time, the sturdy men had already been frightened into kneeling on the ground.

They are different from the Yunluo Holy Land's steward, after all—the steward at least has the backing of the Yunluo Holy Land, perhaps allowing him to barely save his life.

But they are different; they have no background at all—if someone wants to kill them, there's basically no pressure.

"Senior, we........... we misunderstood, we misunderstood."

Several people repeatedly explained.

"A misunderstanding? Hah, how interesting—do you even believe what you're saying?"

Yun Xiantai smiled faintly.

"No........ we......... this............"

Upon hearing that, the sturdy men could no longer speak clearly, stammering and unable to utter a complete sentence.

Seeing them like that, Yun Xiantai also couldn't be bothered with nonsense, and asked calmly.

"With just you few, you don't have the capability—speak, who is behind the scenes directing this?"

"I.......... I......... I.........."

Facing Yun Xiantai's inquiry, the leader of the sturdy men hemmed and hawed but dared not speak.

During this, he furtively glanced at the Yunluo Holy Land's steward, but received only a warning gaze in return.

"If you dare to betray me, you're as good as dead."

Seeing this, the sturdy man's heart grew even more like dead ashes.

However, the two's actions did not escape the notice of the four from Yun Xiantai; seeing the sturdy man's hesitant, unwilling-to-speak demeanor, Yun Xiantai spoke unhurriedly.

"Since you're unwilling to speak, then this matter can only be borne by you."

"But are you sure you can bear it? If I were you, I would without hesitation reveal the person behind the scenes—this is your only chance."

His tone was calm, yet the calmer it was, the more the sturdy man feared.

He truly couldn't bear it, after all—they are holy land ancestors; wanting to kill him would be as easy as could be.

Moreover, it's estimated that by then even wanting to die would be difficult.

Right now, this strong man's heart is full of regret; back then, it wasn't that he was greedy for those resources, so why did he have to do this?

Well now, that sum of resources is definitely hopeless, and even whether his life can be spared is uncertain.

Not to mention them, even whether that steward of Yunluo Holy Land can survive is uncertain.

Under the strong pressure of the four from Yun Xiantai, this strong man finally couldn't hold back and blurted out the truth.

Not only did it clear Ye Zhangqing's innocence, but it also completely exposed that steward of Yunluo Holy Land.

According to the strong man, they were all set up by that steward of Yunluo Holy Land.

Furthermore, he promised them that after success, everyone would get their share of benefits.

Under the temptation of numerous cultivation resources, in the end, the strong man and his companions could not resist the lure, so they came.

Hearing the strong man's account, that steward of Yunluo Holy Land grew anxious and immediately shouted angrily.

"You're talking nonsense, spitting blood..."

But before he could finish speaking, he was directly crushed to the ground by Yun Xiantai's overwhelming pressure, and the earth cracked inch by inch from the tremendous force.

"Shut up, let him speak."

"Keep going."

Having received the signal, the strong man continued speaking, and finally even produced his own space ring to prove his innocence.
