Chapter 614 - 609: Mounting Troubles

"Well, this will be interesting," Exalted Yu commented. He wasn't actually present, using an incarnation art to manifest himself here, but his spiritual senses reached his true body. Avidly aware of everything occurring, he felt excited at what would unfold.

This was especially after noticing the arrival of that oppressive figure. While he wore a hood that concealed his facial expressions, his attire spoke volumes. The nine-colored design with perfect proportions and symmetry was accompanied by a large, white embroidered character at his heart.

It said: Guardian.

There was only one individual in the entire Elementus Domain, in the entire True Element Sect, allowed to wear that character, to wear that design. The Guardian of the Elements, Han Yahui!

Even Exalted Yu felt an unfathomable pressure just observing this figure! And he wasn't even really here. Feeling his real body quiver slightly, he decided to just act as an observer for now.

The Tang Clan that seemed to be moving domineeringly forward halted instantly after that figure appeared, clearly the screeching of space relieved their urgency. This figure was someone even the Tang Clan was cautious of!

Lin Xianxei's bit her lower lip in stress, her beating heart was unable to calm down. She expected this to occur, but she couldn't fathom the end result. She feared for Lin Ming, yet if Lin Ming didn't come with her, he would have certainly been branded as a fugitive, and his identity as a Chosen wouldn't protect him. He absolutely couldn't forgo that identity!

Just Venerable Spiritwalker wasn't a figure Lin Min could face, let alone the Tang Clan or the Guardian of Elements, Han Yuhei!

Han Yuhei's eyes glinted from beneath the hood. His spiritually overwhelming eyes focused on Lin Xianxei's body for a long moment, instigating a minute long silence, before he moved slightly. Lin Xianxei nearly jumped out of her skin when Han Yuhei appeared beside her. She hadn't even sensed the slightest hint of his arrival. It was as if a deadly tsunami appeared out of nowhere, yet all she could do was be frozen in fear.

Lin Ming tightly clenched his fists. Who was this guy? Why was Lin Xianxei so terrified?

Han Yuhei's steps were completely soundless, as if floating. He reached out and took Bai Yuxi from Lin Xianxei's arms. As he did, his oppressive presence dwindled into a gentle gust. The soft body of Bai Yuxi was taken, and Lin Xianxei offered no resistance.

Han Yuhei carried her softly in his arms in a bridal carry, her neck nestled between his shoulder and neck. Bai Yuxi's pale complexion instantly grew healthier, rosy and flushed with blood. Even her soft, pitiable breathing grew strong. She moved on her own, getting closer to Han Yuhei's body.

Han Yuhei's features were still hidden, but his gaze lifted, turning towards Lin Ming.

At that moment, Lin Ming felt his entire body descend into the depths of an unknown world. All his secrets, all his thoughts, and even his emotions and past was as if it was completely seen through by that gaze. Exposed, he didn't back down. He felt as if his entire soul was being searched, stripped completely bare.

His grey eyes radiated a fiercely retaliatory light, utterly fearless. With a throat-filled roar, Lin Ming's astral force erupted in fury! He was not one to bow before anyone, to be examined freely, to be humiliated in such a manner! He had his own pride!

"..." Han Yuhei remained silent. The breathing of the crew all halted simultaneously, absolutely fearful. If this man raged, they would all die.

"One favor," Han Yuhei countered.

Exalted Yu's entire expression brightened considerably at those words. With a brilliant smile, he nodded. "Venerable Spiritwalker agrees. She'll contact you within a few years, please be ready."

With that, his incarnation couldn't sustain itself any longer and vanished.

Han Yuhei's aura seethed a little, the Voidship's formations started to shatter, suffering damage. With a soft snort, he vanished with Bai Yuxi. He knew that he was schemed against, and Bai Yuxi was the target of this, but what could he do? The financial situation of the True Element Sect couldn't afford this.

There were several minutes of silence, and the Spiritwalker Voidship was decommissioned. It'll likely take them months to perform repairs. Fortunately, the life support and shielding remained alive, but motor functions, fueling ports, and steering formations were completely damaged. They couldn't move even if they wanted to.

Lin Xianxei and Lin Ming soon recovered their composure. Lin Ming took a long, steady breath, staring at the far off distance into the depths of the Elementus Domain. He couldn't help but ask, "Who the hell was that?"

Lin Xianxei softly replied, "Bai Yuxi's grandfather, the Guardian of the Elements. He protects the entire Elementus Domain, the strongest expert of our True Element Sect."

Grandfather?!

STRONG EXPERT?!

"How strong is he?" Lin Ming didn't expect Bai Yuxi's background to be so terrifying. Why was she serving as an Overseer for a Chosen Trial?

"...He's an Earthly Saint. Don't set your eyes too far, focus on your own path. A single step at a time." Lin Xianxei cautiously warned.

Lin Ming felt his heart throb. An Earthly Saint? How powerful were they?! Wait...

"What about Master?" If Han Yuhei was the strongest expert of the Elementus Domain, then what about the Divine King Han Xei? After all, he was a Chosen of Divine King Han Xei's faction, and Senior Sister Lin promised that becoming a Chosen enabled him to be his disciple. Together, they would be junior and senior disciples under the same master.

Lin Xianxei's expression slightly changed, but before she could answer, spiritual waves battered their Voidship! It violently rocked in the Dark Void like a boat smashing against raging tidal waves!

"The Tang Clan has come to collect!"

The troubles kept mounting.
