--- Chapter 140 ---

After the whole ordeal with the Demon King, the elders of Four Great Sacred Grounds surround Yu Long warily. From the look of their faces, they are ready to pounce him if they notice something is wrong.

Yu Long dug his ear and gazed at the elders calmly.

His acts are something that the elders who lived hundreds, if not thousands, of years, couldn't understand.

Yu Long doesn't even look like he was twenty years of age.

So, how did he maintain his composure in front of these people?

Well, first of all, they are weak. Of course, Yu Long wouldn't utter that right away, as it would break his cover.

"Yu Long... From the Lost Heaven Sect?" One elder from a bird-shaped profound ark frowned. "I haven't heard about such a sect before."

Yu Long smiled and responded, "Wow, don't tell me you lived under the rock all this time. How could you not know about the Lost Heaven Sect when your sect master has readily tried to get on our coattail for years?"

The elder on the bird-shaped profound ark lashed angrily, "What did you say?"

"I will kill you, brat!"

A violent silver and golden light traveled across the air. It was the power of the Sun and Moon, intertwining into the shape of a spear and reaching Yu Long's head at lightning speed.

'So much for being a monarch-level elder. I guessed those hundreds of years were 'literally' used to cultivate his ego, not his cultivation.' Yu Long thought at this sight.

Everyone blinked and expected Yu Long's head to pop like a watermelon.

However, Yu Long casually stretched his right hand, creating a violet-colored sword. The sword lit up and released a high-powered beam, burning the air rapidly.

BAM!

The spear burned into light particles. It was the result of heating the profound energy within its technique.

Yu Long glanced at the elder on the bird-shaped profound ark and commented, "No one would say a thing now, right?"

"Unless you wanted me to kill this annoying fossil. Because I can and would if you keep pushing me."

What Yu Long said was to confirm his position in this conversation. Since their arrival, they have done nothing but glare at him suspiciously.

They couldn't believe a young man like Yu Long could fend against the Demon King Yun Canghai. No, they couldn't imagine it because that was too ridiculous.

But now, Yu Long proved he was at the same level as them despite not having the presence of a monarch-level expert.

The elder who asked Yu Long a question earlier coughed and cupped his hand, "Young Hero, please forgive our rudeness. What you said earlier was unbelievable, but we believed you now."

"My name is Long Gang. I'm an elder dispatched by the Absolute Monarch Sanctuary."

"I'm sorry on behalf of that fellow."

"As you can see, each of us was in a closed-door cultivation and the closest to Heavenly Sword Villa, so we didn't know much about the state of this world before rushing here when someone triggered the Heaven's Might Soul Suppressing Formation's mechanism."

He activated [Kaiju Maker] and accessed Ling Yuefeng's brain, extracting information. After getting what he wanted, Yu Long released Ling Yuefeng's neck and kicked him like a dying dog to the side.

"You're lucky that you still have some uses..." Yu Long spared no eyes for Ling Yuefeng and left the room. He was 'bizarrely' greeted by Ling Yuefeng's wife, Xuanyuan Yufeng.

He frowned, "What do you want?"

Xuanyuan Yufeng stared at Yu Long silently and opened her mouth slowly in sadness, "W-Why didn't you help my uncle earlier... He could have life and not end in such a torturous death!"

Yu Long rubbed his forehead and returned, "In that moment, whose life is important? Your uncle or my wives?"

"Even if you give me a second opportunity, I'd still step up to protect my wives by fighting the Demon King. He's a powerful expert, and you told me to step out when he was unstable?"

Xuanyuan Yufeng's eyes became dim as tears welled up. She dropped down on the ground and cried her eyes out.

"Put yourself in my shoes. if not, you're just an idiot." Yu Long said while looking down at Xuanyuan Yufeng.

Well, Ling Kun deserved to die anyway. If he didn't fall today, he would use everything he had to put down others.

Yu Long walked past Xuanyuan Yufeng and went to the Sword Management Terrace.

"AAAAAAAAH!!" Xuanyuan Yufeng cried and slammed her hand on the ground. She hated this world.

Why can't she be strong enough to decide her own fate?

Why can't she be more beautiful?

Why can't she have such a husband like Yu Long? A man who cared about his wife, even in the face of death.

She hates it, hates it to her very bones!

"Do you want power?" An ethereal voice whispered. It was a devilish yet charming voice.

Xuanyuan Yufeng lifted her head and saw a white-haired female ghost hovering in the air.

"I can give you power... But it comes with a price." Said the ghostly figure.

"Give it to me."

"Give me power!"

"Fufu, very well." The ghostly figure giggled. "I will loan you some power, but first. You may sleep and awaken anew."

And with that, Xuanyuan Yufeng was knocked out cold.

"What a fine specimen. Nothing is better than a desperate woman." The ghostly figure bursts into a green flame and enters Xuanyuan Yufeng's body.

"This will be my gift for him~!"

...

Yu Long arrived at the Sword Management Terrace and frowned at this sight before him.

"What's the meaning of this?" His indifferent voice sends a chill down everyone's spine.
