Chapter 837 (Scared Pee-less by the Face)
Seeing Mao Ying's demeanour, as well as the tone of his speech, several Emperors began to feel puzzled. If something significant had indeed happened and was delayed, they wouldn't be able to avoid responsibility.
"Mao Ying! You better have a good explanation, or your captain position will be at an end!" The captain of the inner court's enforcement team coldly exclaimed. It was unprecedented for someone of King level to scare away seven or eight Emperors in one go. If Mao Ying didn't have a solid reason for his actions, he was in trouble.
"No need for you to say anything! Get out of my way!" Mao Ying strode directly past the seven or eight Emperor, who sighed in relief and quickly followed him.
In the mountains on the edge of the Broken Vein Mountain, there stood the sect's main hall.
Behind the main hall was an endless sea, with waves crashing against the cliffs below, creating a soothing sound.
"Stop!" Two guards outside the main hall shouted coldly. At a glance, it was clear that these two guards possessed Order level strength. They were undoubtedly the elite defenders of the Broken Vein Mountain.
At this moment, Mao Ying dared not force his way in. He yelled loudly, "I have something urgent to report to the Sect Master, and it concerns the safety of the entire Sapphire Continent!"
Hearing Mao Ying's words, the two guards were visibly surprised because the situation sounded extremely grave.
The group of Emperors also landed.
The main hall's doors were closed, and inside sat two individuals.
One was Sect Master Zhang Changhen, a middle-aged man who appeared scholarly and gave off the air of a literati. He wore a plain white robe and had a gentle smile on his face, but his eyes were sharp and penetrating. This Zhang Changhen was an Overlord!
The other man sitting below him was a middle-aged individual with a stocky build, and one's first impression of him might be... a butcher.
The primary reason for this impression was the excessive grease on his face, which would undoubtedly glint in the sunlight. Moreover, he was less than 160 cm tall, making him resemble a round blob.
However, nobody dared to call him a blob because he was also an Overlord. He had come today to chat with his friend Zhang Changhen.
"Changhen, I heard that there are two extraordinary disciples in your sect. Is that true?" Lu Yan asked while sipping his exquisite Spring Leaf Tea.
Zhang Changhen chuckled softly, "I knew it. Why did you suddenly come here? It turns out you're here for my disciples."
"Changhen, you know me. I just love exceptionally talented individuals," Lu Yan laughed heartily. His laughter, combined with his appearance, was quite an incongruous sight, like a valiant warrior suddenly transforming into a small, chubby man.
Zhang Changhen raised the cup of Spring Leaf Tea in front of him, took a small sip, and smiled without saying a word.
"I mean, Changhen, you're not going to be stingy about this, are you? Can't you spare one for me?" Lu Yan began to negotiate, which was his original intention.
Zhang Changhen put down his tea cup and said with a smile, "Why don't you go to the Divine Scripture Academy? Perhaps you can obtain one there."
"The Divine Scripture Academy? The one that lacks human warmth? I feel uncomfortable just looking at their faces. Changhen, please don't be like this."
"Lu Yan, it's not that I'm stingy, but I plan to take this pair of siblings as closed-door disciples. The Divine Scripture Academy probably has the same idea since extraordinary talents are hard to come by."
"It's precisely because extraordinary talents are rare that I wanted to share one with you. You'd have less pressure. When you need them, I can deliver them to you. How about that?"
"Lu Yan, this matter regarding the siblings isn't open for discussion."
"You... are so stingy! Incredibly stingy! I don't want to talk to you anymore!" Lu Yan huffed in frustration.
Zhang Changhen chuckled and shook his head. At their age, hearing such words was quite amusing.
While the two were conversing, Mao Ying's voice could be heard from outside.
After hearing Mao Ying's words, the two Overlords exchanged a glance. Could this be related to a crisis affecting the entire Sapphire Continent?
"Come in!" Zhang Changhen called out mildly, and the curve of his smile gradually disappeared as the aura of a Sect Master enveloped him.
On the other hand, Lu Yan had no intention of intervening. He simply wanted to listen and see what kind of situation could threaten the safety of the entire Sapphire Continent. It sounded too far-fetched.
You think it's the return of that skeleton, but that's impossible. They even burnt the bones back then.
Standing outside, Mao Ying heard the voice and felt a sense of relief.
The guards opened the doors, and Mao Ying quickly rushed in, followed closely by the Emperors. It seemed like Mao Ying was about to assassinate the Sect Master.
"Sect Master!" Mao Ying knelt down and shouted.
"Sect Master!" The Emperors behind him also paid their respects.
Zhang Changhen asked in a low voice, "What is all this commotion outside? Have you forgotten decorum?"
Indeed, Lu Yan, who was here today, didn't know how to react to such a situation.
Lu Yan originally didn't want to get involved, but he was curious, so he asked, "What is this crisis you're talking about on the Sapphire Continent? Is the sea going to flood the Sapphire Continent?"
Mao Ying said in a deep voice, "Sect Master, this matter is of great importance, and the fewer people who know about it, the better."
Lu Yan laughed and shook his head. Everyone was already so scared.
Even Changhen's face lost its colour. He said solemnly, "Report the matter if it's important. If it's not, you will receive punishment from the enforcement team."
Mao Ying had no other choice but to activate the black plate in his hand. A cloud of mist rose up, and everyone watched as an image gradually appeared.
However, when the image finally appeared, everyone was shocked, and the entire hall fell into a deathly silence.
Even Zhang Changhen and Lu Yan, who were both Overlords, felt their scalps tingling when they saw the skeletal face.
Their thoughts immediately returned to the battle from ten years ago.
Both of them had participated in that battle, and they were well aware of what this skeletal face represented. It was the existence that could destroy the heavens and the earth. Many Overlords had fallen in that battle, which demonstrated the formidable power of these individuals.
They never expected to see it again after ten years.
Although there were many undead creatures in the Sapphire Continent, their facial features might differ slightly, but the crucial point was the aura emanating from this face. It was identical to the undead creatures from back then, with an arrogant demeanour, as if everyone before them were spicy chickens.
The Emperors standing in the back were also shocked. They hadn't participated in that destructive battle, but they had heard about it, and it was recorded in the annals of the Sapphire Continent.
Even when teaching their disciples, they often used it as an example. It was an epic battle.
"Close the doors!" Zhang Changhen reacted and shouted in a deep voice.
The guards outside, unaware of what was happening inside, promptly closed the doors.
Lu Yan set up a barrier to isolate the hall because the upcoming conversation was indeed crucial.
This kid hadn't lied. This matter was genuinely related to the safety of the Sapphire Continent.
The Emperors in the back now understood why Mao Ying was in such a hurry. If they were in his shoes, they would probably be paralyzed with fear.
Everyone continued to watch, and after a long while...

Dear Friends, Family, and Celebrants of Kwanzaa,
As we gather together to celebrate Kwanzaa, the holiday that honors African heritage and culture, let's embark on a journey filled with unity, creativity, and a dash of humor!
Kwanzaa is a time for reflection, a time to connect with our roots, and a time to appreciate the beauty of our African traditions. It's a celebration that brings us closer to our ancestors and strengthens the bonds within our community.
During these seven days of Kwanzaa, as we light the Kinara and discuss the principles of Nguzo Saba, let's not forget to add a sprinkle of humor to our festivities. After all, laughter is a universal language that transcends boundaries and brings us closer together.
So, as you gather around the table to share meals, stories, and laughter, remember that Kwanzaa is not just about the seriousness of tradition but also about the joy of togetherness. Share your funniest family anecdotes, exchange jokes, and enjoy those hearty laughs that make your belly ache.
And while we celebrate Umoja (Unity), Kujichagulia (Self-Determination), Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility), Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics), Nia (Purpose), Kuumba (Creativity), and Imani (Faith), let's also celebrate the humor that binds us.
Let's make this Kwanzaa a time of joy, reflection, and shared laughter. May the principles of Kwanzaa guide us through the year ahead, and may the spirit of unity and humor stay with us always.
With love, laughter, and unity,
No Wife No Life
