Urban Supreme Wild Son-in-Law War God

Chapter 152 Descending the Mountain

From the killing intent emanating from the old Taoist's body, it was clear that quite a few had died at his hands.

Logically speaking, Taoist philosophy emphasizes a clear heart and few desires, so how could he allow so much blood to stain his hands?

"Hehe, where I come from and where I must go are also of no importance,"

the old Taoist said with a light laugh.

Then he picked up the teapot on the stone table in front of him and poured a cup of tea, which he handed to Ye Ling.

Ye Ling's lips curved into a smile as he reached out to take the teacup.

When Ye Ling's hand touched the teacup, an indescribable terrifying power suddenly burst forth from the teacup.

However, Ye Ling had already seen through the old Taoist's intentions and laughed to himself.

The next moment, a power no weaker than the old Taoist's, and even stronger by a few degrees, exploded from Ye Ling's hand.

The old Taoist, who had just had an air of nonchalance, suddenly changed his expression.

The others present did not notice the abnormality between the old Taoist and Ye Ling.

"This tea is indeed excellent,"

Ye Ling remarked with a light laugh as he took the teacup.

The old Taoist did not speak but looked at Ye Ling with eyes full of wariness.

Then Ye Ling drank the tea in his cup in one gulp and said with a smile, "Now that we've had the tea, it's time for us to leave."

With that, he slowly stood up, and Su Rou, seeing this, also promptly got to her feet.

The two of them then left the courtyard, leaving behind two bewildered people and the old Taoist, whose complexion had turned somewhat pale.

After Ye Ling left, the master of the observatory and another person immediately turned to look at the old Taoist sitting between them.

The master of the observatory asked in bewilderment, "Big brother, what does that guy mean?"

"Could it be that he has already seen through our identities, big brother? Why didn't you make a move just now?!"

As his words fell, the old Taoist spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

The bright red blood immediately splashed on the stone table in front of the old Taoist, even reaching several of the teacups.

Upon touching the tea, the blood quickly diluted and then rapidly dissolved into the tea.

"Big brother!"

The master of the observatory and the other person exclaimed in shock.

The old Taoist's complexion rapidly turned pale at a visible rate.

Looking weak, he waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "This person, his strength, is probably still above mine!" Stay connected via empire

Hearing this, both showed disbelief on their faces.

They knew full well what strength the old Taoist possessed; the Taoist was indeed a bona fide high-ranking Battle King!

Ye Ling seemed to be only about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, how could his strength be above that of the old Taoist!

"Big brother, how is this possible! You are a high-ranking Battle King, and that guy looks like he's probably not even thirty years old. How could his strength possibly exceed yours!"

"Even those legendary martial talents of our Dragon Nation, spoken of in awe, presumably couldn't step into being a high-ranking Battle King before thirty!"

"Big brother, could it be that you saw wrong?"

The master of the observatory said with a grave expression.

The old Taoist wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at the master of the observatory, and said gravely, "I haven't gone senile yet, how could I possibly have felt it wrong!"

"Even though I was caught off guard by him during our brief encounter, it can't be denied that his strength is also above mine!"

"It's unexpected that our Dragon Nation has produced such a powerful young man; I also don't know if this fellow coming to the East Sea and visiting our East City Observatory has discovered us."

Hearing the old Taoist's words, both showed shocked expressions.

What it means to have a high-ranking Battle King under thirty can only be understood by those with sufficient strength.

"He probably hasn't discovered us; if he had, he likely wouldn't have left so easily."

After pondering for a moment, the master of the observatory spoke.

The old Taoist nodded slightly, and then spoke, "What you said is true, if he really discovers our identities, I'm afraid he won't let us go easily."

"Regardless of whether he has discovered us or not, having such a high-ranking warrior king staying in the east city is a threat to us."

"Immediately contact the fourth brother and have him return from the Eastern Alliance to inquire into that guy's background."

Upon hearing this, the two immediately nodded.

A high-ranking warrior king, ordinary people would be detected as soon as they approached him.

The fourth brother, mentioned by the old Taoist, whose qinggong skills were transcendent, was naturally the best choice.

"The fourth brother is highly skilled in qinggong, making him the most suitable to investigate that guy's background,"

the temple master said solemnly.

...

Meanwhile, Ye Ling and Su Rou had also returned to the riverside.

There were no boatmen at the riverside at the moment, so the two of them were walking slowly along the shore.

"Big Brother Ye, that old Taoist just now, he wasn't an ordinary person, was he?"

Su Rou suddenly asked.

Ye Ling nodded and asked with a smile, "Did you also notice his extraordinariness?"

"Not really... It's just that the aura about him made me feel uncomfortable all over."

Su Rou shook her head, then continued, "Especially when that old Taoist looked at me, it made me feel as if I were being targeted by fierce beasts, and it was very oppressive in my heart."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ling burst into laughter.

"Haha, those three guys probably still think they've hid themselves well, yet even you have noticed their peculiarity,"

Ye Ling said, laughing.

Su Rou also gently laughed and asked, "Then Big Brother Ye, do you know their identities?"

"I can't confirm their identities just yet, but I believe it won't be long before they reveal themselves,"

Ye Ling said, chuckling.

As they spoke and laughed, a boat stopped at the shore.

Su Rou didn't ask further, but pointed to a boat near the shore and said, "Big Brother Ye, there's a boat coming!"

She had already grabbed Ye Ling's hand and was running toward the boat.

Feeling the softness in his hand, Ye Ling smiled and shook his head.

"Boatman, to the other side, shall we go?"

Out of breath, Su Rou said to the boatman.

Seeing that as one group of passengers disembarked, another arrived immediately, the boatman also quickly showed a smile.

"Come, come, come, both of you get on the boat!"

the boatman said, smiling.

Ye Ling helped Su Rou onto the boat, and without any dilly-dallying, the boatman started rowing the oar, heading slowly toward the other shore.

"Are you two also heading to East City to burn incense and pray to the gods?"

"I wonder if you have seen that old immortal from East City Temple?"

While rowing, the boatman asked.

Ye Ling nodded and said with a smile, "Of course, we have seen him. This old immortal really lives up to his reputation!"

"Haha! Our East City, being surrounded by mountains and waters, is naturally a place where outstanding people rise above the land, and having such an old immortal residing in East City Temple, I believe he can also protect the peace of East City,"

the boatman said, laughing.

Hearing this, Ye Ling smiled and nodded, but did not continue the conversation.

Meanwhile, Su Rou was staring at the glittering water beside her, lost in thought.
