Chapter 7: How Does It Feel to Have Your Underwear Seen Through?
In the sky above the Purple Empyrean Sect, Yin Tianchen—white-bearded and hunchbacked—had a spirit herb tied around his waist and was holding a black fish in his hand.
Yes, this white-bearded elder was the same one from the Three Lives Secret Realm earlier.
Judging solely by his appearance and demeanor, he looked more like an ordinary fisherman. Almost no one would associate Yin Tianchen with being a third-level Emperor Realm expert.
But every sentence he had just called out contained extremely powerful imperial rhythms.
Upon seeing this, Zi Zhantian, the Sect Master, immediately soared into the air, as if facing a great enemy.
Standing opposite Yin Tianchen, Zi Zhantian could very clearly feel that this pressure far exceeded that of the three ancestors—including the Ninth Abyss Ancestor—from before.
The former Yellow Springs Sect Master Yin Xuan, who was shoveling manure, immediately put down his dung bucket when he saw his clan elder personally arriving at the Purple Empyrean Sect.
As a core descendant of the Yin family, one of the seven great families, he vowed that after his clan elder leveled the Purple Empyrean Sect, he would definitely make Zi Zhantian eat excrement!
However, Yin Tianchen in the sky did not confront Zi Zhantian, but instead very politely said: “Purple Empyrean Sect Master, I am Yin Tianchen, specially coming to the Purple Empyrean Sect to apologize!”
“Apologize?” Zi Zhantian returned the greeting to this Emperor Realm expert before him, “What offense has Elder committed?”
“Hehe, I am related to the great battle that the Purple Empyrean Sect experienced a month ago.”
Yin Tianchen stroked his beard and laughed lightly.
“My unworthy descendant Yin Xuan listened to slander, which led to disaster.” Yin Tianchen’s expression slightly changed as he repeatedly shook his head, “Today, I have mainly come to meet Friend Lin Xuanqing and apologize.”
“Yin Xuan, Yin Tianchen…”
Zi Zhantian immediately understood that the elder before him was a senior relative of Yellow Springs Sect Master Yin Xuan.
Goodness, he had never heard before that Yin Xuan had such a powerful elder!
Fortunately, this person looked rather kind and had only come to apologize, avoiding a great battle.
So, Zi Zhantian clasped his hands and said: “In that case, I will immediately report to the Ancestor. Please wait in our Purple Empyrean Treasure Hall, Elder.”
Yin Tianchen nodded, then asked: “Purple Empyrean Sect Master, could I first see that unworthy descendant?”
“Rest assured, Elder.”
After saying this, Zi Zhantian first guided Yin Tianchen to the Purple Empyrean Treasure Hall, then flew toward the Tai Xu Palace.
“Ancestor, an elder just arrived outside the sect. He is a senior relative of the former Yellow Springs Sect Master Yin Xuan, specifically coming to apologize.”
“Yellow Springs Sect Master’s senior? What realm?”
“Um, conservatively estimated, at least second-level Emperor Realm.” Zi Zhantian thought carefully, “But this disciple feels that this Elder Yin Tianchen’s imperial rhythms are very powerful, possibly more than second level.”
“Oh, that’s easy then.”
Lin Xuanqing gestured for Zi Zhantian to withdraw, indicating that he would arrive shortly.
…
Meanwhile, in the Purple Empyrean Treasure Hall, Yin Tianchen sat quietly in the arranged seat, waiting for Lin Xuanqing’s arrival.
However, before that, Zi Zhantian kept his promise and first brought Yin Xuan over.
The moment Yin Xuan, with eyes full of resentment, saw his clan elder, he showed great confusion.
Why didn’t the clan elder go back to the family to bring the other three clan elders?
No matter how powerful the Purple Empyrean Ancestor was, he couldn’t possibly fight one against four and kill four second-level or above Emperor Realm experts, could he?
At this moment, Yin Tianchen’s voice suddenly transmitted into Yin Xuan’s mind.
“Xuan’er, don’t worry.”
“I have a wonderful plan.”
Hearing his clan elder say this, Yin Xuan dismissed the doubts in his heart.
He silently stood beside Yin Tianchen, feeling that “this time it’s solid.”
“Elder Yin, please have some tea.”
Zi Zhantian personally poured tea for Yin Tianchen.
“Thank you, Purple Sect Master.” Yin Tianchen completely lacked the airs of a great emperor as he accepted the teacup, “However, Purple Sect Master, why hasn’t Friend Lin arrived yet?”
“As for the Ancestor’s actions, I as a disciple dare not ask too much.” Zi Zhantian said after taking a sip of the fragrant tea, “Perhaps after waiting a bit longer, the Ancestor should arrive.”
However, Yin Tianchen sat in the Purple Empyrean Treasure Hall for an entire afternoon, and Lin Xuanqing still hadn’t come.
He and Zi Zhantian had already drunk two large pots of tea just sitting there.
Yin Xuan on the side finally couldn’t bear it and directly became angry: “Zi Zhantian, your ancestor has such great airs!”
Yin Tianchen immediately scolded: “Xuan’er, shut up!”
“We are guests, and we’ve come to apologize. What’s wrong with waiting a while?”
Then he secretly transmitted to Yin Xuan: “Xuan’er, you’re still too young. This is the Purple Empyrean Ancestor testing our sincerity.”
“He’s not afraid of me getting angry, which means his strength is indeed third-level Emperor Realm without doubt, and he’s doing this deliberately.”
After hearing this, Yin Xuan pondered for a while and closed his mouth.
Zi Zhantian was slightly embarrassed, thinking to himself, why hasn’t the Ancestor arrived yet?
When he went to report earlier, didn’t the Ancestor say he would come shortly?
Just then, a familiar white-robed figure appeared outside the Purple Empyrean Treasure Hall.
Yin Tianchen immediately looked over and involuntarily asked in a soft, puzzled voice: “A mortal?”
Lin Xuanqing walked with his hands behind his back, slowly entering the long hall, breathing somewhat heavily.
“My goodness, coming down from the Tai Xu Palace to the Purple Empyrean Treasure Hall for the first time, such long cloud steps and mountain roads, I’m exhausted…”
Indeed, because Lin Xuanqing had no cultivation, he had walked down the ten-kilometer route.
“Friend, sorry to keep you waiting, my apologies.”
Lin Xuanqing casually sat on the cushion in front of the table, then took a big gulp from the teacup.
He was truly thirsty.
But in Yin Tianchen’s eyes, it was a completely different scene.
“Is a powerful treasure concealing his cultivation, or is his cultivation originally far above mine?”
“Or is it the legendary heaven-defying technique that only ninth-level Emperor Realm can practice—Mortal Dust Heart Tempering?”
Yin Tianchen used all his strength to observe Lin Xuanqing, even developing bloodshot eyes, but still couldn’t discern anything.
No matter how he looked, Lin Xuanqing was just a mortal, an unmistakable mortal.
“Friend, you haven’t been resting well lately, have you?”
Lin Xuanqing noticed Yin Tianchen’s red eyes and put down his teacup as he spoke.
Unexpectedly, this simple sentence brought enormous pressure to Yin Tianchen.
Before coming, in order to deal with Lin Xuanqing, he had indeed repeatedly pondered for a long time, thinking of many plans to destroy the Purple Empyrean Sect.
Who would have thought that the Purple Empyrean Ancestor had already anticipated it!
Combined with his deliberate delay in arriving earlier, this made Yin Tianchen, who had lived for tens of thousands of years, begin to feel some terror.
He felt as if his underwear had been seen through~
However, having survived for tens of thousands of years as a top expert in the celestial domain, he quickly regained his composure.
“Ahem, Friend Lin, let’s discuss the main matter.” Yin Tianchen sat upright, “This time, I’ve specifically come to apologize.”
“This boy Yin Xuan had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Lu Rising Dragon Domination, offending you and the Purple Empyrean Sect. Please be lenient.”
As Yin Tianchen spoke, he took out a storage pouch from his sleeve.
“There are 30,000 premium spirit crystals in here, as compensation for the Purple Empyrean Sect’s losses.”
“30,000 premium spirit crystals?”
Zi Zhantian’s eyes grew wide when he saw the storage pouch.
This was no small amount.
The Purple Empyrean Sect had a premium spirit crystal mine below it, but its annual output was less than one-tenth of 30,000.
However, Lin Xuanqing didn’t intend to accept it.
For him, what use were spirit crystals?
The key was Reputation Points.
This Emperor Realm elder called Yin Tianchen had delivered himself to the door; it would be a waste not to harvest some points.
So, Lin Xuanqing activated his show-off mode again.
“30,000?”
“Do you take this Seat for a beggar?!”
