"Shall we start then?" he asked, revealing a calm smile.
Three talisman papers burned in his left hand, slowly turning to dust. Initially, everyone was stunned by Xu Shan's sudden counter. However, it didn't take long for them to notice three Talismans in his left hand.
The talismans were made in high quality talisman paper. However, the patterns that were carved on the talisman were nothing that they had ever seen before.
It was like a completely unknown talisman. However, since it belonged to a Prince, it made Elders feel that the Eternal Dynasty had progressed a lot in talismans.
They didn't realize that the talisman was completely useless. Xu Shan had simply used high quality talisman paper to carve a random pattern.
Since he was not interested in revealing that he was a Celestial Warrior, he used the Talismans as an excuse. It was also for a moment like this that he had used a real top grade talisman in the disciple selection ceremony in his fight.
From this point on, the credit for his sudden increase in strength belonged to the Talismans, giving him free reign. What was even better was that no one could sense his Celestial Energy now, unless he wanted them to, all thanks to his Celestial Spirit growing a little.
As soon as all the Talisman Paper burned, Xu Shan disappeared.
Yu Ming was taken back by the sudden attack, falling on the ground. However, he quickly managed to control himself, pushing his body up quickly.
Unfortunately for him, even though Xu Shan was slightly weaker in terms of Celestial Aura, but his high grade Celestial Spirit made up for the difference.
As soon as Yu Ming regained his balance, a dagger stabbed in his shoulder, pushing him back again.
The Elders were taken aback, reacting slowly. However, by the time they reacted, it was too late.
Xu Shan appeared behind Yu Ming, holding both his hands. He crushed Yu Ming's hands, before stomping on his back, thrashing the young man who hadn't expected it in the least.
Xu Shan placed the top of his dagger on the head of the young man. A little movement and the young saint was going to be killed!
All the Elders froze in place. Even Ye Han hadn't expected Xu Shan controlling the situation so fast. In an instant, he had broken the control that the Celestial Palace had over them.
"As I said, shall we start?" Xu Shan repeated the same question again. However, this time, he was looking in a particular direction, above him.
Following his question, a man appeared in the sky, revealing himself. He was the Palace Master of the Celestial Palace. Even though he had arrived as soon as Xu Shan attacked his son, he hadn't shown himself since if he did, then it wasn't a matter of children but the entire Eternal Dynasty was going to get involved.
However, even he hadn't expected that his son was going to fail in a frontal confrontation. What made him even more wary were those talismans!
The Eternal Dynasty had talismans that could temporary give a mortal enough strength to face people like his son? That was information that he couldn't ignore.
If the Eternal Dynasty could really create such Talismans, that meant they had an unending supply of warriors to fight wars for them, since even the armies made from mortals could deal damage to Celestial Warriors in that case.
That kind of strength alerted him, at the same time, making him concerned. If that was really the case, then a war with the Eternal Dynasty was the last thing he wanted.
"Do you know what you're doing?" The Celestial Palace Master asked, frowning.
"I know. I'm executing the person who tried to attack me, as per the Royal Law of my homeland!" Xu Shan responded calmly. "What do you think?".
"This place isn't your homeland. If you killed my son, do you know the consequences you'll have to face?" The Celestial Palace Master calmly asked. He didn't do anything too drastic, since he knew how stubborn this young man could be. His son's life was in Xu Shan's hands.
"A threat is the last thing that'll work on me, Palace Master." Xu Shan's face was covered in a devilish grin, as if his Demonic Heart had completely taken over temporarily, wanting him to create chaos and kill!
However, there was more to what he thought. Even though he didn't want to go this far, things had become troublesome. Since those people insisted on seeing his rings, it came as a headache, since he had the dead body of one of their disciples in his ring.
Even though the body wasn't the person they were looking for, it still wasn't something he could show them.
Unfortunately, it didn't look as if these people were going to give up either. Because of that, Xu Shan decided to push forward his plan, which he had kept reserved for when he was going to leave!
When Ye Han left the guest house secretly to kidnap a disciple that they could interrogate a few hours ago, he had another purpose! If anything, coming back with a disciple was only secondary. The primary aim was to gain control!
Moreover, it looked as if he had achieved that purpose. Xu Shan could feel a subtle connection with Three Ghost Flags that Ye Han had planted in three different corners of the Celestial Island, increasing the control range!
Usually, Three Ghost Flags required three people to control them. However, that wasn't the only method. The reason it needed three people was because it needed the strength of three sixth grade or higher Celestial Spirits to maintain.
However, Xu Shah had something much stronger! His Celestial Spirit had a grade that he couldn't even count, which gave him more control.
Qin Ye sent people with the Three Ghost Flags to kill him. However, Xu Shan decided to use that reward to his own advantage!
Even the Palace Master didn't know, but the Disciples with low tier Celestial Spirits slowly started losing control of their thoughts, entering the control of Xu Shan. There was only one thought in their minds as they all left their courtyards.
This was where the downfall of the Celestial Place began, all because of a so-called mortal…
