Chapter 1951: The Temple’s Secret
Zhou Yu sneered coldly.
"Do you really not understand?"
"Alright, then explain to me how, in a Human Clan Plane with such sparse Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power, your Temple alone can cultivate more than twenty Emperor Realm Experts?"
"How did you achieve this?"
"Speak up!"
Facing Zhou Yu’s questioning, Ji Baisheng’s expression turned exceedingly grim.
The dozen or so Emperor Realm Experts behind him also had their expressions change drastically.
Some displayed uncertainty and suspicion, apparently unaware of how Zhou Yu had figured it out.
Others revealed killing intent. Clearly, Zhou Yu had touched on their core secrets.
Zhou Yu paid no attention to any of this.
He just looked at Ji Baisheng calmly.
Feeling the coldness in Zhou Yu’s gaze, beads of sweat appeared on Ji Baisheng’s forehead.
"Mr. Zhou, I... I really don’t know what you’re talking about?"
"But the Emperor Realm Experts of our Temple were cultivated step by step."
"Of course, our Temple has a thousand years of inheritance, and we lack neither Spiritual Medicine nor Spiritual Land."
"Perhaps that’s the reason, so..."
Hearing this, Zhou Yu’s lips curled into a dangerous smile.
"It seems you’re not planning to tell the truth!"
With that, Zhou Yu directly reached out, grabbing at Ji Baisheng from a distance.
Ji Baisheng’s face drastically changed, not expecting Zhou Yu to suddenly make his move.
He immediately attempted to mobilize True Qi to resist.
However, an overwhelming force assaulted him, directly dispersing the True Qi within him.
In the next moment, his throat was directly seized, and he was instantly pulled into Zhou Yu’s hand.
Seeing Zhou Yu suddenly act against Ji Baisheng, the dozen or so Emperor Realm Experts behind him froze, then they all burst into killing intent, surrounding Zhou Yu.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yu sneered.
He waved his hand.
The Immortal Black Mountain appeared in an instant.
The next second, the Immortal Black Mountain expanded to a hundred zhang, pressing down on the group of them.
None of them had ever witnessed such a terrifying method.
They only saw a hundred zhang tall giant mountain suddenly appear above their heads, pressing down on them.
The terrifying pressure made them all feel a crisis of death.
In an instant, everyone unleashed their strongest attacks, striking at the Immortal Black Mountain above.
However, their attacks landed on the Immortal Black Mountain without even stirring a single ripple, let alone shattering the Black Mountain.
In the blink of an eye, the Immortal Black Mountain descended.
A terrifying force field enveloped them.
At once, their faces changed drastically, with some wanting to escape, only to realize they were engulfed by a strange force field, rendering them immobile like being stuck in a quagmire.
At this moment, the Immortal Black Mountain came crashing down!
Thud!
In an instant, the dozen or so Emperor Realm Experts all spewed blood from their mouths and fell to their knees.
Many among them had broken meridians, with blood vessels bursting.
In the blink of an eye, they were reduced to a bloody mess.
Just as everyone thought they would die under the Immortal Black Mountain, suddenly, that terrifying giant mountain shrank and then flew toward Zhou Yu.
It turned into a fist-sized Black Stone, floating in front of Zhou Yu.
At this moment, everyone looked at Zhou Yu with eyes full of horror.
Zhou Yu’s methods had surpassed their understanding.
Clearly, if Zhou Yu wanted to kill them, it would be as simple as a wave of his hand.
It was only then that they deeply realized how terrifying Zhou Yu was.
Ji Baisheng, snapping back from his daze, turned pale and knelt on the ground.
He looked at Zhou Yu in fear.
"Mr. Zhou, you... are you a Cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm?"
Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes, saying with a faint smile:
"You do have some insight!"
This remark was tantamount to an admission.
Ji Baisheng’s eyes grew even more astonished.
He had just felt that Zhou Yu’s power was excessively formidable.
By rights, the Human Clan Plane’s Martial Arts can only reach the Emperor Realm.
How could Zhou Yu be this powerful?
It wasn’t until he saw Zhou Yu display the Immortal Black Mountain just now that he realized.
At this moment, he felt parched, his eyes filled with disbelief.
The Cultivation Inheritance had been extinct for millennia, yet unexpectedly now, a Cultivator had appeared.
If not witnessed with his own eyes, he would never have believed it.
Ji Baisheng opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say.
Finally, he took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, and said:
"Since Mr. Zhou is a Cultivator, we naturally do not dare to offend."
"What Mr. Zhou wants to know, I dare not hide anything."
"It must be that Mr. Zhou has already seen it; this Copper Tripod is indeed a Magic Treasure."
"Apart from connecting to Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power, it... indeed can plunder Martial Artist’s fortune!"
Hearing Ji Baisheng’s admission, Zhou Yu sneered.
"So, this is the secret behind your Temple’s prosperity for thousands of years."
"Just sucking blood from all the world’s Martial Artists."
"Those bullshit three lists are your means of extracting Martial Arts’ fortune, right?"
At this moment, Ji Baisheng was pale, not daring to contradict in the slightest.
He nodded tremblingly.
"Mr. Zhou, we... we were wrong!"
Zhou Yu snorted coldly.
"Then let me ask you again, when the Power of Demon God descended and the Ancestor emerged, why was there not a single person from your Temple who came to fight?"
In Zhou Yu’s questioning, there was a subtle but clear undertone of icy killing intent.
Back then, if the Temple had come out in full force, perhaps the result of this battle wouldn’t have been so tragic.
The old man and the others might not have had to die.
Faced with Zhou Yu’s lethal questioning, Ji Baisheng trembled in his Divine Soul.
"We... we..."
He faltered, unable to speak.
Zhou Yu snorted coldly:
"There’s no need for you to speak; I already know."
"This war was your best opportunity to extract Martial Arts’ fortune."
"Whether the Dark Clan people died or the Human Race died, it was beneficial to you, without any disadvantage!"
"Perhaps, when that battle took place, you were here, drinking and celebrating lavishly, am I right?"
Ji Baisheng shivered in fear.
He hurriedly kowtowed.
"No, no, no, Mr. Zhou, we intended to make a move!"
"We just didn’t expect..."
"Please, Mr. Zhou, forgive us; we will never make such a mistake again!"
Hearing this, Zhou Yu sneered:
"That’s right, you won’t make such a mistake again."
"Because you won’t have the chance!"
With that, Zhou Yu directly struck with a palm.
Bang!
Ji Baisheng didn’t even have the time to react before he was killed by a single palm strike from Zhou Yu.
Both his physical body and Primordial Spirit were obliterated.
After killing Ji Baisheng with a palm, Zhou Yu turned to look at the remaining dozen Emperor Realm Experts.
"As for you!"
"You may escape death, but not punishment!"
He directly pronounced the sentence!
With that, Zhou Yu struck out with another palm...
