I just traveled through time and you told me that Taoism is gone?

Nanjiang City, outside a private estate.

At this time, two figures were standing outside the gate of the manor, pacing back and forth while rubbing their hands. They looked obviously anxious.

"Guardian Ye, it's been half an hour and the leader still refuses to see us. What should we do?"

These two people were none other than Ye Su and Nie Tian, ​​who were defeated in the hands of Zhao Xuanling and fled in despair.

At this time, Nie Tian's arm was also wrapped in a thick bandage, and the blood dyed the bandage red.

Despite this, he still insisted on waiting in front of the door.

The two of them failed to complete the task. After returning, they wanted to explain and report to the palace master in person and strive for leniency.

But it turned out that the leader's personal bodyguards went in to report and no news came back for such a long time, which made the two of them increasingly unsure.

They knew how ruthless the leader was. Cramps and peelings were common occurrences in the hands of his leader. Everyone in the Lord God's Religion was afraid of this leader, and they were no exception.

Ye Su was also very anxious. After hearing Nie Tian's words, he frowned deeply and said nothing, wiping the sweat from his hands.

What can he do if the leader doesn't reply? If you want to avoid the pain of flesh and blood, you can only calm down and continue to wait.

Now this is the only chance for the two of them to get a lighter sentence, and he doesn't want to give up just like that.

After another tens of arduous minutes of waiting, the big iron gate of the manor made some movement.

"squeak--"

With a sound of metal friction, the large iron door slowly opened, and a man in a black robe slowly walked out.

"Protector Ye, Protector Nie, the leader invites you."

The man has a handsome face and looks to be in his early twenties, but judging from his expression and behavior, he has a maturity and stability that is beyond his age.

When Ye Su and Nie Tian heard that the leader had agreed to meet them, they were overjoyed and hurriedly clasped their fists at the man respectfully and said:

"Thank you, Guard Ling."

"Ah."

Facing such respectful attitudes from Ye Su and the others, the man remained expressionless, without even looking at the two of them. He whispered a promise and turned around to walk towards the manor.

Seeing the man's lukewarm look, Ye Su and the two felt awkward.

They knew that Guard Ling had a special status and no one except the leader had the authority to command him, so they did not dare to say anything.

Thinking about it, because Ye Su and Ye Su were so respectful to a young man who was only in his early twenties at such an age, this guard Ling's status in the leader must be higher than the two of them.

Seeing Guard Ling walking towards the manor, the two of them hurriedly followed him towards the inside.

"Guardian Ye, do you think the leader can spare us?"

The moment he stepped into the gate of the manor, Nie Tian's face no longer looked overjoyed.

On the contrary, his face was already covered with cold sweat, and even his voice was trembling. He asked in a low voice that only Ye Su could hear.

After calming down and thinking about it again, although the leader agreed to see them, it did not mean that he would be lenient.

Considering how ruthless the leader is, it is absolutely impossible to say that he is not afraid.

However, Ye Su's condition was slightly better than Nie Tian's at this time. At least there was not much fear on his expression.

"Oh...just let it be your fate."

Ye Su sighed helplessly and looked up at the bright moon in the sky. Perhaps this would be the last time he could see the moon.

He knew very well how much the leader valued the Earth Source Spirit. Now that the Earth Source Spirit was taken away, Ye Su would not be surprised even if the leader directly punished him with death.

He only asked the leader to see that he had been loyal to the Taiyin Palace over the years and let him live.

There is a long way from the gate to the inside of the manor, but today, the two of them felt that time passed very quickly, and Ye Su and the two of them also walked this way very hard.

Guard Ling didn't pay attention to the state of the two of them, and stopped in front of a villa with the name "Conference Hall" written on the door.

Reaching out and pushing open the door, the villa was brightly lit and the empty hall was very quiet.

In the huge room, there was only a middle-aged man with an extremely kind face, sitting on a master's chair at the end of the hall, quietly holding a book and reading carefully.

Guard Ling walked into the house, stood in the middle of the hall, and said respectfully to the middle-aged man not far away:

"Master, the people have been brought here."

"Oh, I see."

A deep voice sounded, and the powerful pressure in the voice scared Ye Su and the two people who were following Guard Ling to tremble.

"Subordinates retire."

Guard Ling had completed his task of leading the way. He bowed slightly to the middle-aged man, then retreated outside the house and closed the door smoothly.

"Bang."

The moment the door closed, the sound of the door closing frightened Ye Su and the two of them, which showed how nervous the two of them were at this time.

There were only three people left in the room at this time, but the middle-aged man did not speak and was still looking through the books in his hands.

Although the man did not speak, his powerful pressure was impacting the fragile hearts of Ye and Su all the time.

The more this happened, the more nervous Ye Su became. They both knew that this might be the calm before the storm.

"Snapped!"

Just when Ye and Su were so nervous that they didn't dare to take a breath, the middle-aged man suddenly closed the book in his hand.

"Where is the Earth Source Spirit?"

The middle-aged man sat up, looked up at Ye Su and Nie Tian who were frozen in place, and said with a smile.

Although the middle-aged man had a smile on his face, a hint of murderous intent could be seen beneath the smile.

Ye Su and the other two were trembling all over. Although they had already thought of their words before coming, they were facing the middle-aged man at this moment, but they did not dare to speak when the words came to their lips.

"say!"

When the middle-aged man saw that the two of them were still silent, the smile on his face disappeared, and the decibel level of his voice instantly increased a lot.

"Pfft!"

Ye Su and the other two were frightened by the middle-aged man's voice and fell to their knees.

"The... leader... the Earth Source Spirit was... snatched away by a man dressed as a Taoist priest."

Ye Su knelt on the ground, his voice kept trembling, and he didn't dare to raise his head while speaking.

"Robbed?"

The middle-aged man repeated in a cold voice, the coldness in his eyes was intimidating, and the originally kind and kind face turned into extremely ferocious at this moment.

Although he had already guessed it, now that he heard Ye Su say it himself, he still couldn't help but be furious.

"Shh!"

The middle-aged man stood up suddenly and threw the book in his hand towards Ye Su.

The book that was released from his hand rushed towards Ye Su like a cannonball. It was so fast that the naked eye could not locate the trajectory of the book.

"boom!"

While he was breathing, a loud noise was heard, and the book hit Ye Su hard on his chest.

Ye Su felt his eyes go dark, as if he had been hit by a hard boulder. The blood in his body surged instantly, and he felt a sweet and fishy smell coming up in his throat.

Before he could react, the huge impact sent him flying directly, hitting the wall behind him heavily.

Nie Tian, ​​who was kneeling beside him, was also knocked to the ground by the huge impact. At this moment, he was paralyzed on the ground in fear, and all the strength in his body seemed to have been drained away.

Perhaps due to nervousness, a large amount of blood flowed from the broken arm.

Facing the middle-aged man not far away, he could not feel any resistance at all.

In his heart, this man is the incarnation of God, an existence that mortals cannot compete with.
