Chapter 288 Tide Emperor

Chapter 288 Tide Emperor

At this moment, Bai Ke and his group had already returned to Tian Ce Palace via the teleportation array.

After Tian Xin entered the fray, she didn't say a word, leaving Bai Ke and Liu Yiji behind. She then took to the air and flew towards Tianxiu Peak.

Liu Yi stroked his beard, watching Tian Xin's departing figure, his feelings a mix of emotions.

He sighed softly, then turned to Bai Ke and said:

"Young friend, I'll take care of taking these corpses to the Hall of Law Enforcement for processing. Please open the Lingyun Ferry so I can transport the corpses out."

"No need for such trouble." Bai Ke cast a control-releasing spell on Lingyun Ferry and then said, "Elder Liu, you can control it now. Please go ahead."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yi was overjoyed, knowing that Bai Ke trusted him and had entrusted him with the temporary use of such a valuable flying artifact.

He loved collecting all sorts of treasures and took a liking to Lingyun Ferry at first sight, having long wanted to try it out. He smiled and said to Bai Ke:

"Young friend, aren't you afraid I'll kidnap this treasure?"

"Old Liu, you're teasing me. I know you like collecting treasures. If you find this magical artifact interesting, you might as well take it back and play with it."

"Haha, young friend, you really understand my taste. I won't return this treasure to you after I've used it; I need to study it carefully for a few days."

Liu Yi couldn't wait to step forward and place his hand on the surface of Lingyun Ferry, injecting his spiritual energy imprint.

A moment later, Liu Yiji sensed that Lingyun Ferry had established a connection with him and couldn't wait to go in and take control of it.

"Old Liu, I'll leave the matter of the body to you. My father just sent me a message, and I have to go to Tian Ce Peak. I'll take my leave now!"

Liu Yi was having a great time maneuvering the Lingyun Ferry, performing various difficult flight maneuvers, and completely ignored Bai Ke's words.

Bai Ke shook his head and smiled bitterly before using his Immortal Crossing technique to fly towards Tian Ce Peak.

Just before he reached the teleportation array, he received an urgent message from Bai Yan, telling him to go to the Ascension Hall immediately after returning to the sect, as there was something very important.

Bai Ke was wondering what urgent matter Bai Yan might have that made him so eager to go over.

Could it be because of the mission to capture Ling Feng? Or is it about the Holy Son's coronation ceremony? It shouldn't be in such a rush...

Lost in thought, Bai Ke unknowingly arrived at the Heavenly Ascension Hall, only to find two Nascent Soul stage elders standing guard at the entrance.

"Am I seeing things? What kind of important meeting is it today? They've even made two elders guard the gate!" Bai Ke muttered to himself, feeling that something was amiss today.

The two elders at the entrance saw Bai Ke and quickly waved to him, calling out, "Why are you only arriving now? Hurry up and come in, they're all waiting for you!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ke hurriedly stepped forward, pushed open the palace door, and was immediately terrified by the scene inside.

In the main hall, more than twenty white-haired elders were sitting in the seats of the Supreme Elders! However, Master Liu sat behind these elders, which indicated that he was of lower seniority than most of the elders present.

At this moment, the person sitting on the sect leader's throne was not Ning Fengyi, but a red-haired old man who was resting with his eyes closed!

Ning Fengyi and Bai Yan actually stood obediently next to the seats of the Supreme Elders.

The guest seats, which Bai Ke usually treated as mere decorations, were unusually occupied by an old man with a lewd appearance, and a veiled girl stood beside him.

Everyone was silent and quiet.

As Bai Ke pushed the door open, it immediately made a sharp "creaking" sound.

At that moment, everyone's eyes were instantly drawn to him.

Bai Ke suddenly felt immense pressure!

Is this some kind of ghost story? Or is there going to be a war in the Mountain and Sea Realm? Why have all the Supreme Elders come to the Heavenly Ascension Hall for tea?

And then there was the red-haired old man sitting on the sect leader's throne. Bai Ke recognized him immediately by his distinctive red hair.

That was the most senior elder currently existing in the Tian Ce Sect, a peak cultivator in the late Mahayana stage, a man standing at the pinnacle of the current Mountain and Sea Realm, whose Daoist name was Venerable Tianxu.

In terms of seniority, even Master Liu would have to call him Ancestor. He was also the great-grandmaster of Bai Yan and Ning Fengyi.

As for the lewd old man and the veiled girl Bai Ke, he had never seen them before.

Being stared at by so many powerful figures made Bai Ke feel extremely uncomfortable, but he still forced himself to bow and greet them:

"Bai Ke, the 78th generation disciple, pays respects to all the Supreme Elders! Pays respects to the Supreme Grandmaster!"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Tianxu, seated on the sect leader's throne, nodded slightly and said softly, "So this is the newly promoted Holy Son. His aptitude is quite good. Come in."

After Venerable Tianxu finished speaking, Bai Ke breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked to Bai Yan's side, lowering his head and staring intently at his toes, pretending to be well-behaved.

"Now that everyone is here, Emperor Tide, you may begin," said Venerable Tianxu, staring at the lewd old man.

The lewd old man sitting in the guest seat was none other than the Tide Emperor. With a wave of his hand, a burst of spiritual light shone towards the center of the hall, slowly forming a glowing spiritual screen.

This is essentially a projection screen for the cultivation world, just like the projection stone effect that Bai Ke used to demonstrate the small world of Tian Long Ba Bu.

After the spiritual screen solidified, a clear image slowly appeared from it.

The land shown on the screen, covered in array patterns, appeared to be part of an array. A huge crack had opened in the land, from which gray mist was gushing out wildly.

More than a dozen elderly men sat around, releasing their spiritual power to suppress the spread of the mist. The Tide Emperor held an array plate and was setting up an array on the gap.

The video stopped playing here, and the Tide Emperor continued:

"After the incident involving the fifth sect leader, the formation that my Tide Sect was responsible for guarding developed a loophole, and the rift in the other world tore a corner of the formation apart."

“Originally, we were able to suppress it. But in recent years, the gap has been widening, and it suddenly doubled in size half a year ago.”

"The otherworldly aura gushing out from the crack is getting stronger and stronger. A month ago, even a divine sense of a terrestrial immortal tried to peer into the formation through this crack, but we blocked and cut it off by working together."

"After that, the seniors in charge of guarding the area were under increasing pressure, so I had to set up a large array around the gap to temporarily control its expansion."

"But once the great formation is completely exhausted, and the gaps continue to widen at this rate... to be honest, my Tide Gate absolutely cannot suppress it!"

"Our Tide Sect knows that it was the fifth sect leader's actions that led to this situation, but..."

As Tide Emperor finished speaking, he suddenly knelt down before Heavenly Void Venerable.

Everyone was shocked!

Then the Tide Emperor continued...
