It was already evening, the sun was setting in the west, the scorching sunlight dissipated, and a gentle breeze blew by.
However, no one felt any coolness. It was as if a fire was burning inside their bodies. They even sweated, wetting their clothes and long hair.
All of this originated from the aura in the imperial city, which was gradually getting stronger.
It was as if a god or demon was gradually awakening, its aura grew stronger little by little, enveloping people's bodies and minds. The incomparable pressure oppressed everyone's souls, and many people were almost unable to breathe!
The pressure was filled with an extremely powerful imperial aura that made people unable to help but worship. The ordinary residents of Fengyang City could no longer bear this kind of oppression and they knelt on the ground one after another, their faces filled with shock and fear.
Wu Hou kowtowed and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to the old ancestor and respectfully welcome him back to the world!"
"Greetings to the old ancestor, and respectfully welcome the old ancestor back to the world!"
In the imperial city, whether they were the sons of marquisates, the imperial guards, or the concubines and princes, they all knelt on the ground, gazing at the source of the aura with respectful and pious expressions.
"Another ancestor?" Han Tian and others stood up and stared away. They were no longer as calm and composed as before, and there was a bit more solemnity between their brows.
"I have been sleeping for so many years," a light voice sounded from the imperial city.
"My dear ancestor, you have been sleeping for one thousand five hundred years," the emperor responded respectfully, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
"What?"
Wu Tian and his companions trembled violently. The shock in their hearts could not be described in words. Who could have imagined that the owner of this voice was actually an old monster who had been sleeping for fifteen hundred years!
"In just fifteen hundred years, so many young talents have appeared in the five continents. Is this a sign of the beginning of troubled times?" The voice was whispering softly, and no one could hear it, including Wutan, but little Wuhao heard it clearly.
"Troubled times?" Xiao Wuhao sat cross-legged in the scorching sun, staring straight ahead with his brows slightly furrowed, as if searching for relevant memories.
"There are only 1,500 people, but the Confucian Dynasty has fallen to such a state. A few young brats dare to act tyrannically in the imperial city and wantonly kill people from the dynasty. Rufeng, do you admit your guilt?"
"Confucianism is incompetent, please punish me, ancestor!" The emperor was terrified. At this moment, he was no longer the master who controlled the fate of millions of people, but an ordinary descendant of the royal family.
"well!"
After a sigh was heard, a figure walked out from the imperial city step by step. It seemed to be very slow, but in just a moment, it descended over the sky.
This is an old man, dressed in linen and wearing straw sandals. If you only judge by his appearance, he is the kind of person that no one would pay attention to if he were in a crowd. He is very ordinary.
But, in terms of temperament, no matter where he goes, he is a dazzling star that no one can ignore.
“So strong!”
Immediately, Wutan's pupils contracted and his hair stood on end. An unprecedented sense of crisis, like a torrent, flooded his entire mind. Without thinking at all, he retreated violently and stood side by side with Han Tian and others.
Not only Wutan, but Han Tian and the other two felt the same as well. They stared at the unremarkable old man opposite them, and a strong sense of uneasiness rose in their hearts.
Everyone understood that this was a monster, a terrifying old monster.
Dongfang Xiao looked at the old man with a frown on his face, as if he had remembered something that he himself could not believe. Finally, he could not help but ask, "Are you the first emperor of the Great Confucian Dynasty, Ru Fengren?"
"Who are you?" The old man looked over, with some confusion in his eyes. After a moment, he said uncertainly: "Are you Dongfang Xiao?"
"It's me," Dongfang Xiao nodded and bowed, saying, "I'm Dongfang Xiao, the junior, meeting Senior Ru."
"Time flies so fast. The little kid back then has grown into a powerful warrior in the divine transformation period," sighed the old man Ru Fengren. Time flies, and after a retreat, everything has changed.
Then, the old man glanced at Wu Tian and the others, frowned and asked: "Are you with these people?"
Dongfang Xiao hurriedly shook his head to deny: "Senior Ru, you have misunderstood. I just saw that they had monkey wine, so I shamelessly came up to drink some. If you mind, I will leave now."
"How disloyal," Han Tian muttered, rolling his eyes.
"You can't blame me for being disloyal, but this old man is so strong that I can't afford to offend him if the Pavilion Master is not here."
Dongfang Xiao explained to Wutan and the others through voice transmission that Ru Fengren had been a well-known strong man for 1,500 years. It was said that he had reached the great stage of divine transformation. He was also the grandfather of the contemporary emperor Ru Feng.
He has been in seclusion for fifteen hundred years. Now that he has come out, his cultivation must have made a breakthrough, and he may even have reached perfection. He is not someone I can afford to offend.
Dongfang Xiao also advised Wutan to quickly take Han Tian and others and escape through the Starry Realm, otherwise a disaster would befall them and they would not be able to escape even if they wanted to.
"The Perfectionist!"
Wutan was extremely shocked. If it was a cultivator in the minor success stage, with the strength of himself and Han Tian and others, it wouldn't be a big deal. But the major success stage and the perfect stage were completely different.
The gap between each small realm in the Divine Transformation Period is an insurmountable chasm. Being able to fight against one level is already extremely rare. If you want to fight against two levels, it is impossible unless you can revive the imperial soldiers unlimitedly.
What’s more, he is a powerful person who has surpassed the third level of perfection. He is simply an invincible natural enemy!
"No problem!"
The old man shook his head slightly, and then his eyes swept over Wutan and the other three one by one, seeming to be very appreciative. He nodded and said: "No matter in terms of qualifications or talent, you are the best among your peers. If I give you a few hundred years, you will definitely become a hegemon and even surpass me. If I kill you all, I will really not be able to bear it."
When Rufeng heard this, he immediately said anxiously: "Grandfather, you can't be soft-hearted..."
"Shut up. If you dare to say anything more, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Ru Fengren shouted coldly, without considering the affection between grandfather and grandson. To be honest, an old monster like him who has lived for thousands of years does not attach much importance to things like family affection. He only values his own strength.
Rufeng's body stiffened, with a look of struggle in his eyes. Finally, he sighed, stood up, took a few steps back, stood silently aside, and said no more.
Even his own grandson Rufeng was like this, let alone Wu Hou, who had been kneeling in the air, not daring to move, sweating profusely, for fear that he would accidentally anger this old ancestor and be killed with a single finger.
“Your name is Wutan, right?” Ru Fengren smiled slightly, like a kind and amiable old man, without any dangerous aura.
Wu Tian did not answer, but just nodded slightly.
"As long as you hand over the Wanhua Celestial Phenomenon and your invisibility treasure, I can guarantee that I will not pursue any of the issues that happened today. I will even agree to that if you want to become the emperor of the Great Confucian Dynasty," Ru Fengren put forward the conditions.
Ru Feng's body trembled violently when he heard this, but due to Ru Fengren's divine power, he didn't even dare to breathe, let alone protest.
"So simple?"
Wu Tian was surprised, because looking at Ru Fengren's expression, he didn't seem to be faking it and was quite sincere. However, he was not stupid enough to believe that the other party would let him go so easily.
"Of course it can't be that simple. I won't do such a stupid thing as letting a tiger go back to the mountains. If you and your friends want to survive, you have to become my servants." Ru Fengren was still smiling, with no change from before, but in the eyes of Wutan and the other three, it was completely different.
If it was a kind smile before, then now it is the devil's weird smile, extremely creepy!
After a short silence, the solemnity on Han Tian's face suddenly disappeared, and he even jokingly said, "Do you really want this handsome guy to be your servant?"
"Haha, the moment I showed up, I sensed the aura of the Ice Order from you. I guess you have some relationship with those old monsters in Ice Valley!"
Ru Fengren paused, smiled faintly and said: "However, if you rely on them, you are very wrong. There is no holy ban on teleportation between Xuanbing Continent and Zhongyao Continent. If you fly alone, with their speed, it will take at least one day. One day is enough for me to kill you and then find a place to hide. As for the Great Confucian Dynasty, it is dispensable."
"Old monster?" Wutan looked at him in confusion.
"This matter is very complicated, let's talk about it later," Han Tian transmitted, and then looked at Ru Fengren, changing his usual evil look, and said in a deep voice: "Do you mean there is no room for negotiation?"
"Yes, I can choose to kill you all and grab the treasure myself," Ru Fengren smiled.
Wu Tian frowned and said, "I have a question. Rufeng and Ruchen are both descendants of yours. Why didn't you help Ruchen when he was in trouble? Instead, you let Rufeng do whatever he wanted and murdered his own brother?"
"Haha, for people who practice cultivation, family affection means nothing," Ru Fengren only said this sentence and did not discuss the issue any further: "I will give you three breaths to consider whether you will obey me or disobey me."
"one"
The expressions of Wu Tian and the other three all darkened, because no matter from Ru Fengren's expression or his words and actions, they could tell that he was not joking.
"two"
The faint voice, like a death warrant, made Wu Tian and the other three feel depressed.
"No, let's retreat first." Wutan has a stronger self-esteem than others, but he understands the situation clearly. To maintain his self-esteem, he must first save his life. If he loses his life, what dignity can he talk about
However, the next moment, he was stunned, because he found that he could not sense the existence of the starry world. It seemed that a mysterious force concealed the secret and cut off his connection with the starry world. He could not even contact Xiao Wuhao!
Wutan looked at Ru Fengren and knew without thinking that it must be this man who did it, because here he was the only one who had this ability.
"three"
"I, Wu Tian, would rather die in battle than have my fate manipulated by others!"
A tremendous murderous aura burst out from Wu Tian's body, and soon after, clanging sounds exploded. The three spears and five other imperial weapons appeared one after another, floating in front of him. The power of the imperial weapons immediately spread in all directions!

According to previous statistics, more people support three chapters a day. However, since many book friends have not read it yet, I will wait until tomorrow morning to make a decision.
In addition, I would like to add that my typing speed is very slow, not as fast as those who write very fast. I write three chapters a day, which is close to 10,000 words. Including the revisions, it takes at least twelve hours, so this is my current limit. However, I will work harder to make this book more exciting to give back to everyone for their support for me. Please continue to support me as always and let Shura Tianzun make it to the top of various lists. I would like to thank you in advance.
