Celestial Peak

Chapter 452: Too Elaborate

Roan looked to the side and smiled at the sight of the Deities, he asked them, "I saw three of you with him, didn't think you would still let him live after he stole the Mother of Beasts  from you"

"He" Qinyang was about to say something but Yuan Qing suddenly knocked her unconscious. With this, the Young Miss wouldn't do anything unnecessary.

Yuan Ming raised her brows, "I wasn't really born in the Era of Primordial Creations so I don't know what you're talking about. I was born in the right Era when the Mother just returned to us, how, about you? With that said, how about you? Aren't you pissed off that your Father has yet to even properly take over?"

"touch." Roan laughed and then looked over in Wang Ling's direction who just stopped crashing on the trees, "I am going to kill him, are you not going to help?"

With Yuan Qing taking care of the unconscious Qinyang, it was Yuan Ming who still answered with a lazy yawn, "By all means, I would love to see a Devil beat him up. But, yeah, you're not going to fool us with that, like those fools."

When Yuan Ming's soft voice finally echoed, the aged masters surrounding the area had already moved. Roan, now surrounded by countless weapons was asked by a white-haired old man, "You, who are you to attack a member of the Sword Tower?"

Roan raised his brows and just smiled, "Someone you can't handle." 

BOOM*

Roan stomped at the ground and destroyed the earth! The surprising shift in the environment did not create any unwanted repercussions, but it gave Roan enough of an opening to strike at one of the aged men.

An old man flinched feeling the pressure behind Roan's fist. He knew he was either going to die or be incur serious injury, [Shit!] he cursed as he steeled his mind.

BAM!

The old man heard the impact of a fist meeting flesh, but he was still alive and he was not in pain. He opened his eyes and what he saw was one of the four Sword Tower members stepping up to stop the fist.

Yuan Ming looked at the human and just stated for everyone to hear, "This is a private matter of the Sword Tower, everyone is barred from doing getting involved. Try anything and you would die by his hands."

Yuan Ming saw Roan's smile and just clicked her tongue thinking how she was the one who had to deal with this nuisance, "Take this." Yuan Qing ducked and then got close to Roan.

'This is going to hurt even if you are a Devil.' Yuan Ming said through voice transmission.

'You're too young to think you can hurt me. Also, do not use water qi or any of the Origin Arts.' Roan responded.

'Such a hassle.' But she proceeded 

She placed her hand over his abdomen and then, gathered ominous clouds of dark qi, over at the center of her palms. She created a sphere of darkness before detonating it at close proximity, "Darkness Cloud Technique: Dark Flower!"

BOOM! The roar of a fake technique echoed.

Roan was sent flying to the opposite side where he sent Wang Ling flying. Yuan Ming lazily chased after and the spectators interested in watching their fights went and followed. Those who left wanting to heal Wang Ling were stopped by Yuan Qing who was holding Qinyang.

"We will take care of our problems. No need to worry about our companion. Go and pursue your own desire." Which, in less subtle words meant, Mind your own business

The old man could sense the dangerous air around Yuan Qing and left without saying much. He went after the fight between a member of the Sword Tower and the unknown assailant, from afar the sound of explosion echoed.

With Qinyang in hand, Yuan Qing just watched this unfold and then just started walking towards the forest where Wang Ling was sent crashing to. Whilst he walked, her mind began working, "I couldn't quite smell that Devil's scent. Is he someone beyond six wings? If so, that should explain why he didn't injure any of the aged Mortals." Yuan Qing stated as she reached Wang Ling.

Ten meters before reaching Wang Ling, she stopped and then looked to her side, "His name is Wang Ling and apparently he is hiding from his Impostors to avoid having the Universe overrun by the desperate attempt of the Emperor's in killing him."

These words were said and from complete direction Yuan Qing was looking, came down Chang Ping hold a sword as she reeled back her very fine slaughter qi, "So Roan was right? For the Master's companions to pick up on his plan, how amazing."

Yuan Qing shrugged her shoulders, "If that Devil had any interest in killing us, he would have already killed me and the others in seven seconds at most. If my estimation of his strength and age is correct, even with the combined strength of my twin and I would find it hard to stall for time to let the Young Miss escape much less slay him. Also, to be honest, it wasn't that complicated to begin with."

Roan was another mystery added to the twins' catalogue of never-ending new things to find. The last entry was Wang Ling's existence, and now Roan, they were in the same category of people with mysterious backgrounds. 

"He's a weird person, isn't he? He looks like he's more muscle than brains but he was the one who thought this plan up." Chang Ping said as she looked to the side where Wang Ling groaned on the ground. Chang Ping helped Wang Ling stand up.

Rubbing his neck, Wang Ling sat on the cold hard ground, "What the hell was Roan thinking? If I was not fast enough in moving my neck it would have been serious problem!" Wang Ling complained as he finished making internal introspections.

Wang Ling, after crashing through several trees suffered any injuries whatsoever.

And with a sigh he stood up thanks to the help of his disciple, and then at the very next moment, two figures came from above and landed without creating any mess.

Yuan Ming and Roan who was supposed to be in the middle of a heated fight slipped off the old masters' radar and circled back to the place where Wang Ling was sent flying.

With Wang Ling standing tall, Roan's eyes quivered and an almost instinctive smile blossomed on his face. He took a knee and said, "I Welcome the return of the All-Father."
