Chapter 169: Confucian Sage: Ye Bai's Parents Are Still Alive!

Sima Kong made a phone call to Sima Cheng!

Upon hearing this, Sima Cheng's first reaction was not even joy, but shock and disbelief!

"Startled, startled the four at the very top?!"

"Hiss!!"

"How is that possible!!"

A hundred years ago, when the Dimensional Gate first descended, humanity initially faced a disaster akin to the end of the world because all technological weapons were rendered useless.

Among the many countries on Blue Star, the tiny island nation even declared its national collapse in just three days!

Great Xia was slightly better off due to its vast territory and sparse population.

But countless people still perished at the hands of the Alien Race, and countless cities were destroyed!

Finally, four sages appeared who saved the building from collapsing.

When they first appeared, they already possessed the strength of the Sixth Grade Martial Dao Grandmaster Realm.

Their power could collapse mountains, and their Qi and Blood could open Heaven!

They charged into the tide of the Alien Race, slaughtering ten million Alien Beasts in a single day! Among them were even the strongest Seventh Grade Alien Races that had invaded Blue Star at the beginning of the Dimensional Gate's descent!

That battle established the status of Great Xia as the absolute number one in martial strength, even looking at all the countries on Blue Star, after the start of the High Martial Era.

It established the foundation for the people of Great Xia to live and work in peace for the past hundred years!

Those four have also survived to this day.

They have long since achieved the status of Martial Saint.

They are the recognized Human Ceiling of Great Xia, and even all of humanity!

It is not an exaggeration at all to say these four are like gods or immortals.

In fact, starting several decades ago, the people of Great Xia stopped worshipping immortals and gods, turning instead to believe in the Four Saints!

Sima Cheng knew that Ye Bai's talent was extremely extraordinary, possibly the first in the hundred years since the start of the High Martial Era.

But in his eyes, that was only to the extent of being comparable to those four—and that was just his own assessment, the kind he dared not guarantee.

He never imagined that this talent upgrade would actually cause a Human Ceiling to arrive in person amidst a busy schedule!

And he, too, believed in the Four Saints!

"Which, which one of those four has come?" Sima Cheng asked again, his voice trembling.

"It should be Lord Wensheng, who bestowed the Mending Heaven Stone!" Sima Kong said.

"Lord Wensheng... he is actually the one respectfully called the Confucian Sage, the most revered Wensheng in the world!!" Sima Cheng's clenched fists were trembling!

"When will the Lord arrive?"

He decided to tidy himself up properly to welcome his idol with the best possible appearance.

"Now..." Sima Kong said.

"Hm?!" Sima Cheng subconsciously thought he had misheard.

The Four Saints had not spent much time within the borders of Great Xia for decades.

Instead, they sat in command at the boundary between the endless alien domains and human territory.

Not to mention that the distance to Jiangcheng was beyond imagination, and they could not easily leave.

How could it be that just as Sima Kong received the information, he had already arrived...

Silence!

But before Sima Cheng could ask again.

Where Wangxing Pavilion No. 38 was located, everything suddenly fell into absolute silence!

The sound of cicadas outside and the blowing wind all vanished instantly.

The few of them could only hear their own heartbeats and breathing.

More importantly.

A middle-aged man dressed in Confucian robes, holding a feather fan, with a scholarly and easygoing temperament, suddenly appeared in the living room.

The man did not emit a shred of aura, giving people the feeling that he was just an ordinary person.

The moment Sima Cheng saw the man clearly, his pupils shrank violently! His body trembled wildly!

Qin Churan, Li Qingqing, and Liu Qingtian were equally uncomposed.

Xi Qian was the first to react; even she, with her Ice Mountain demeanor, revealed a look of reverence.

Even the usually unserious Zui Xiaoyao subconsciously straightened his back.

One of the four Human Ceilings of Great Xia, Wensheng, had descended upon Jiangcheng!

Who in the world does not know you?

"Greetings, Lord Wensheng!"

When he came to his senses, Sima Cheng's first reaction was one of fanatical fervor, and he was about to bend his knees to half-kneel to Wensheng!

Liu Qingtian did the same.

Because Wensheng was the one in charge of the Great Xia Military.

Strictly speaking, he was their supreme superior!

"No need to be so serious. I came here today only representing myself; I just wanted to see the child of my old friends."

Wensheng did not move, but two gentle streams of Qi and Blood supported Liu Qingtian and Sima Cheng.

Then, before the few could react, his gaze had already fallen upon Ye Bai.

"Ye Bai...

This child, without realizing it, has actually grown so big."

"It is truly unexpected that the two of them did not settle this child in Shangjing or Magic City, and even less in their hometown, but placed him in Jiangcheng instead." He waved his feather fan lightly and said.

"Swish!" At this moment, everyone present had their expressions change wildly!

They might not have understood the meaning of Wensheng's first sentence.

But how could they not realize now that Ye Bai was the child of the old friend Wensheng spoke of?

The terrifying identity of Ye Bai's parents was also absolutely beyond the imagination of any of them?!

"W-Wensheng, are you saying that Shanhe and Xiuxiu are not ordinary Martial Artists, right? Then can you tell me, are they still alive?" Qin Churan was the first to recover.

Compared to the extraordinary identities of Ye Shanhe and Qiguan Xiuxiu, she cared more about the two people themselves.

Twelve years!

She had always thought that the Ye Shanhe and Qiguan Xiuxiu she was once close to were just ordinary Martial Artists.

It was said they were missing, and no news of their deaths had been sent back, but in reality, they had long since died in the Wilderness or some Dimensional Gate due to an accident, so she had told Ye Bai long ago that Ye Shanhe and Qiguan Xiuxiu had passed away.

Wensheng's words made her see hope!

"Although I am also not clear on where they are right now."

"However, what is certain is that they are still alive."

Wensheng said.

"Good, that's great! When Xiaobai wakes up and learns of this, he will definitely be very happy!" Qin Churan wept with joy!

However.

"No, this matter cannot be let known to this child for the time being."

Wensheng continued to speak.

"Because as fellow Human Ceilings, the fact that they are clearly alive, and that they know the things they did back then surely made many people dissatisfied—even leading them to target Ye Bai—yet they have delayed their return.

They must be trapped in a place where I and the Martial Saint and the others cannot carry out a rescue."

"This child is too weak right now; letting him know these things would only increase his pressure in vain."

The tone remained calm.

"Hiss!" These words falling into the ears of Liu Qingtian, Sima Cheng, Xi Qian, and the others were completely like a thunderclap!

"Wensheng says that Ye Bai's parents, like him, are both Human Ceilings?!"

And they did things that made many people dissatisfied...

C-could it be that Ye Bai's parents are those two..."

The Tianyu Two Saints!

In the decades since the Four Saints were crowned as Human Ceilings, they were the only two in Great Xia hailed as the most promising to become the new two ceilings!

Most crucially, these two were also the most controversial Martial Saints to date.

Because during the period of their rise, they benefited countless people in Great Xia.

The number of Eighth-Rank Emperor Bloodlines of the Alien Beast Race, Royal Clan members of the Succubus Race, and Evil Spirit Emperors of the Evil Spirit Race who died at the hands of the two saints exceeded the number of fingers on two hands!

Yet twelve years ago, for unknown reasons, they opened a thousand Dimensional Gates within human territory, causing countless people to suffer disasters and multiple cities to be destroyed as a result...

"I thought the Tianyu Two Saints had long since been killed by the Four Saints because of their past mistakes..."

"I didn't expect that not only are they still alive, but the Four Saints have no intention of holding them accountable, and even want to bring them back..."

"The events of twelve years ago perhaps have other secrets..."
