Chapter 566 - Does elder have any requests?

On the Storm Platform.
The powerful and provoking headmaster of the Great Hua Peak He Ju was similarly trembling with fear.
He felt his consciousness agitated, as if it was about to shatter at any time. He had no alternative but to consolidate and uphold his energy, and endure the pain of his consciousness being torn.
Old Fish’s quasi-emperor-like consciousness power cut across like a raging hurricane. Shrouded within, He Ju felt like a wisp of weak mist in the midst of a hurricane, without the slightest power to fight back. It was as if he seemingly would be ripped apart at any time and vanish like smoke in thin air.
He Ju, at this time, realized that his impulsive decision had led to that kind of disaster.
“This Master of the Thunder and Lightning Sect is so powerful! Even with my hundred of years of cultivation I cannot withstand the pressure of his consciousness power. Chen Shaohua that little bastard, how can he provoke the Thunder and Lightning Sect, and cause such a big mess for the Greater One Sect!”
He Ju suddenly felt a burst of fear. Cold sweat soaked his body. However, he felt slightly fortunate.
What he was fortunate for is that the one who died on the platform today was his own disciple, Chen Shaohua, and not the Thunder and Lightning Sect’s successor.
Otherwise, if Tian Huang was dead, in a towering rage, the master of the Thunder and Lightning Sect would most likely obliterate the Greater One Sect in an instant, and no one can escape death.
If Chen Shaohua was aware of his thoughts, then even in hell, it was likely that tears will not flow out even if he wanted to cry.
Just that at this time He Ju also no longer thought of his passed away disciple. When compared to the trouble before him, Chen Shaohua's death was not a matter that needed to be settled. Even if Chen Shaohua died one thousand times, as long as it could quell the anger of the master of the Thunder and Lightning Sect, He Ju would even personally kill Chen Shaohua one thousand times.
Old Fish stood with hands clasped behind his back on a floating peak.
His face was calm, his pupils like a sea that contained the stars. It was like he had been through the changes of the world, tranquil and without the slightest might, yet enough to send chills down one's spine.
Under such a might and power, even his wretched triangular moustache had become something that contained a myriad of righteousness and justice.
“Haha, I want to ask, who wants to make things difficult for my apprentice?”
Old Fish said in an indifferent tone.
This voice was like an alarm bell rang in the ears of everyone present. It was clearly without any attacking intent, but anyone who heard this voice was agitated, like the voice of a Demon God shaking everyone’s heart.
At this moment, even though there was no yuan qi fluctuating around his body, like an ordinary person, the people present dared not underestimate the Thunder and Lightning Sect master anymore.
There was utter silence on the platform, and no one dared answer.
Old Fish repeatedly asked three times, but no one dared to look him in the eye.
The wind rustled and swept up a few leaves.
Leaves whirled in the air, then floated around the foot of Old Fish.
The crowd looked over in the direction of the Greater One Sect’s floating peak, and before the shock had gone from their eyes there was a gloating look filling their eyes.
“Today is a rare lively event. Greater One Sect who had been powerful all this time, has really struck something hard this day. Interesting, interesting!”
“Probably because Greater One Sect thought they had never heard of the Thunder and Lightning Sect and saw them as weak and easily bullied. They tried to oppress them through power, but unexpectedly provoked a living Buddha.”
“The Thunder and Lightning Sect's foundation is so deep, but they had never revealed their powers. After today they will become a mighty figure that no-one dares approach.”
The crowd broke into spirited conversation.
He Ju’s complexion was gloomy, feelings of panic and fear inside as he struggled to withstand the pressure of Old Fish’s consciousness.
After a brief while, the transcendent-being-like Greater One Spiritual Master finally reacted.
The other peak masters of Greater One Sect also closely followed behind the Greater One Spiritual Master, soaring high up and coming towards the direction of the small floating peak that Old Fish was situated on.
They did not dare to get too close.
Stopping at a distance of around 50 meters, their position was slightly lower than the top of the floating peak in order to show their respect.
Under countless gazes, Greater One Spiritual Master forced a calm face, and in a respectful manner, along with the other several big influential authorities of the Greater One Sect, bowed in the direction of Old Fish. “We did not know honoured sir will come and treated you with neglect, you are?”
Old Fish chuckled.
“Everyone tries peaceful means before resorting to force. The rule of Greater One Sect is peculiar, taking strong measures before courteous ones.” The eyes of Old Fish swept past the several authorities of Greater One Sect, everyone shuddering with fear at his glance. Then the smile on his face suddenly faded, instantly becoming hostile, “Honoured sir? Pah, what are you, how dare you use this word. Ignorant younger generation, even your master's master will have to respectfully bow and call me Elder.”
Greater One Spiritual Master was furious, but did not dare to show it in the slightest.
The more arrogant Old Fish was, the more fearful he was of him.
Thinking of the master of the Thunder and Lightning Sect’s vast ocean-like consciousness power, it was indeed the most powerful he had seen before. As he hesitated, the rising imposing manner suddenly subsided and he no longer dared treat him with the slightest disrespect. He cupped one fist in the other and stooped down in the direction of Old Fish, performing the most respectful etiquette of a junior meeting an elder, and said in an extremely respectful tone, “Greater One Sect’s Patriarch Feng Wuhen pays respects to elder, I ask elder to calm your anger and please forgive us this time.”
This was considered as swallowing his pride.
In the past thousands of years, when had the master of Greater One Sect acted so humble.
Old Fish lightly snorted, and did not say a word.
Greater One Spiritual Master dared not treat him with disrespect, promptly said softly, “Elder, today it was unintentional that Greater One Sect offended elder. For elder to pay a visit to the Storm Platform is an honour of Greater One Sect. My disciple Chen Shaohua took advantage of the name of Greater One Sect to cause trouble. I was not aware of this, but I cannot escape the responsibility. If Elder cannot quell your anger, then please let Feng Wuhen bear the responsibly myself, Elder please spare Greater One Sect.”
He was directly pleading for forgiveness.
After all, having overseen Greater One Sect, an overlord-like sect of Clear River Domain for so many years, Greater One Spiritual Master’s scheming ability was really impressive. He knew that, the more he was humble and sincere, the better the final result would be. If he played tricks at this moment, it would only end up worsening the situation for him.
Greater One Spiritual Master's attitude had shocked the audience.
But after a more careful thought, it was only right.
After all, he was facing a suspected quasi-emperor-like existence.
The Nangong family, the Sky Demon Palace, and the Heaven Devastator Demon Sect, the three major forces, upon seeing such a scene, also sighed inwardly.
Greater One Spiritual Master was a same level of martial arts overlord as them, but he had to stoop down like that, which means that if they were to face the Master of the Thunder and Lightning Sect, it would be the same for them.
The eyes of the Old Fish fell on the body of the Greater One Spiritual Master.
“Your people are so detestable, to want to kill my disciple?”
Greater One Spiritual Master felt a chill down his spine, then hurriedly cupped his hands submissively to explain, “Elder please calm down, today's matter, that Chen Shaohua is to blame. But my junior brother, because of the pain of suddenly losing his beloved disciple, his actions and words were too extreme. I hope elder can forgive him.”
When He Ju heard this sentence, he immediately understood, his face took on a mournful look and hurriedly came forward to bow and explain, “Elder please forgive me, I am fascinated with martial arts, and still haven’t gotten married or have a child. That Chen Shaohua is my adopted son. I brought him up from a child and treated him as my real son. Watching him die today, seeing my child die before me, was really painful and I almost made a huge mistake because of a moment of impulse. Chen Shaohua is like this because I failed to discipline him correctly, I am to blame, I am willing to be punished.”
He Ju cupped his hands submissively with sorrowful eyes and humbly apologized.
“Haha...” Old Fish sneered.
Time seemed to have gone still instantly, there was not the slightest of sound.
The eyes of the crowd were wandering between Old Fish and Greater One Spiritual Master.
Greater One Spiritual Master had been in charge Greater One Sect for hundreds of years, and Greater One Sect was the leader of the major forces of Clear River Domain. Therefore Greater One Spiritual Master was well respected.
For a long time, let alone snorting disdainfully at him, even if one spoke louder in front of him, one would have been killed.
In the past hundreds of years, those that can be treated as equal to the Greater One Spiritual Master were all martial arts overlord existences. Even the obstinate and unruly Nangong Jue, in the face of Greater One Spiritual Master, was also fearful of the powerful and solid Greater One Sect behind him. Moreover, the other average and ordinary sects had no choice but to flatter the Greater One Spiritual Master to get what they want.
The Thunder and Lightning Sect, which suddenly appeared in the eyes of the crowd, was unheard of.
But, who would have expected this unremarkable looking Thunder and Lightning Sect to be so powerful!
The consciousness power and yuan qi cultivation were complementary, if the Thunder and Lightning Sect was measured based on the consciousness power of the master, then this person's cultivation is unique and there would hardly be any opponents that could be compared to him!
The silent atmosphere made all people feel depression and their hearts pounded.
The pressure of the consciousness that filled the sky made everyone tremble even more.
Time slowly went by.
Old Fish did not speak.
The people of Greater One Sect were as though they were awaiting a trial.
After a long time, Greater One Spiritual Master felt his bent back had become a little stiff.
In his always still and calm black pupils, was a hint of fury.
A circle of invisible ripple formed at Greater One Spiritual Master’s side, his mysterious silver sleeve slightly vibrated, and he made a sweeping motion with his horsetail whisk in his left hand.
Like there was a breeze blowing, Greater One Spiritual Master’s silver hair was dancing with the wind
“It is aggravating, I am so humble, does this person really want to bury my Greater One Sect? Detestable, ever since I became the master of Greater One Sect, when was there ever anyone that dared to talk to me like this. Who is this person, his consciousness is so powerful that it makes people tremble in fear and unable to control themselves. When did Clear River Domain have such an expert, could it be that he comes from other domains?”
Countless thoughts flashed across Greater One Spiritual Master’s mind, but they were all well concealed.
This Storm Sword Duel gathering, Greater One Sect had been preparing for a long time, all aspects have been taken into account. He only needed to take this opportunity to establish Greater One Sect as the overlord of Clear River Domain.
Who would have thought that such a deity-like being would suddenly appear halfway, and his painstaking plan would be destroyed. Greater One Spiritual Master's heart was dripping blood.
At the same time, he vaguely sensed something strange.
“The Master of the Thunder and Lightning Sect possessed such powerful consciousness power but there is not a trace of yuan qi fluctuating around his body like an ordinary person... I cannot see through his cultivation, is he deliberately hiding his cultivation? Or is his cultivation level too far out of mine for me to see? “
Thinking of this, Greater One Spiritual Master could not help but lower his head even more and continue to plead.
“Greater One Sect had offended elder, really deserves to die. Does Elder have any request? As long as it can make elder forget about this matter, Greater One Sect will do our best to meet elder's request.” He tried to test the other's bottom line.
“Requests? Meet? Haha, who do you think I am? Do you think you can bribe me?” Old Fish narrowed his eyes.
“We don't dare, we don't dare,” Greater One Spiritual Master hurriedly said. “I said the wrong thing, what I meant is...”
Old Fish directly interrupted him, “ Your meaning, I understand, but what is my identity, will I make things difficult for a little sect like you... The chaos of the secular world has nothing to do with me, hehe, as long as some people do not take advantage of one's position to bully people or bully my disciple, then I just came to watch the lively event, I have no time to care about your hideous mess.”
Once Old Fish finished his speech, he withdrew his consciousness power.
He sat down slowly, no longer caring about the matter.
The earth-shattering consciousness power receded like a tidal wave.
All of a sudden, the clouds rolling across the sky gradually dispersed, resuming its previous calm state——
