Chapter 1628 - 1627: Master of the Heavenly Court
The azure shadow moved incredibly fast, reaching the sky over Medicine Sect Mountain in the blink of an eye.
Below, Ye Sword Saint also sensed the presence of the azure shadow. He immediately looked up and glared coldly at the azure shadow descending from the sky. As the shadow became nearer, Ye Sword Saint flicked his finger, and the longsword below instantly flew to his hand. He looked up at the shadow with a solemn expression.
However, the azure shadow did not descend toward him. After rushing down, it landed directly on Medicine Sect Mountain.
At this moment, the people on Medicine Sect Mountain finally saw clearly. This azure shadow was actually an old man dressed in a blue Taoist robe.
The old man looked to be around seventy or eighty years old, with a head full of lifeless silver hair. His face was gaunt, giving off an eerie sense of death.
Yet, as he stood there, no one dared to underestimate him. The azure aura around him shot straight into the sky, seemingly capable of connecting with the heavens, leaving people awestruck.
Everyone’s expressions changed, and everyone stared in disbelief at the old man, not one of them knowing who he was.
In the air, Ye Sword Saint frowned deeply. He looked at the old man, and his face turned uncharacteristically grave.
The old man, however, remained calm. He stood with hands behind his back, quietly observing Ye Sword Saint in the air, and spoke with a hoarse, weathered voice: "To err is human, Ye Sword Saint. Though these people indeed disrespected your daughter, their crimes do not warrant death. Why pursue such relentless slaughter?"
Ye Sword Saint’s face turned cold, and he replied in a deep voice: "Whether or not I kill, does it concern you?"
"Not at all!" The old man shook his head.
"Then what are you doing here?" Ye Sword Saint retorted coldly: "This place is Medicine Sect Mountain, adhering to protocol, not within your Heavenly Court’s jurisdiction. Here, I can kill Land Immortals, commoners, anyone, and it’s irrelevant to your Heavenly Court. You may be the master of Heavenly Court, but you have no control over me!"
