"You, you, you! …Don't come any closer, I'm telling you, I'm a prized disciple of Emperor Ouhuang, you'd best not provoke me!"
Just as Ming Zhitian was about to make a move, Fei Jiang arrived. "Marshal Ming! So you are here. Your subordinate has found Ouhuang's hiding place."
"Oh?" Ming Zhitian asked with interest, "Bring this scoundrel along and lead the way."
"Yes, Marshal Ming!"
"Marshal… Marshal Ming? You… you! Are you the Divine Emperor of Cultivation?" Wei Sheng's eyes widened.
Emperor Ouhuang's Hidden Palace –
The three appeared here. The guarding disciples saw them and rushed forward. "Who goes there?!"
Seeing Wei Sheng being held captive, the guarding disciples immediately drew their swords. "Who exactly are you?! Release our senior disciple at once!"
Ming Zhitian stood proudly. "Call Ouhuang out to see me."
Before the guarding disciples could speak, Wei Sheng, emboldened by being on his own territory, said, "Who do you think you are? You think you're worthy of my master coming out to see you? You… Argh!!…"
Ming Zhitian casually stepped down. A "snap" of bone breaking was heard, and Wei Sheng's entire leg was rendered useless. Pain forced tears to well up in his eyes!
"Argh!… My leg!…"
Terrified, the guarding disciples rushed inside to report…
A moment later, a resonant voice boomed from within. "Who dares to harm this Emperor's beloved disciple? Seeking death?!"
A figure clad in golden robes flashed by. It was Emperor Ouhuang himself!
Wei Sheng cried out as if seeing his own father, "Master, save… save me!"
Emperor Ouhuang first looked at Fei Jiang and Empress Xingchen. Ming Zhitian then looked at him. "Ouhuang, do you remember me?"
Emperor Ouhuang's pupils dilated! How could he not recognize the person before him? Furthermore, in his eyes, the Ming Zhitian before him was like a towering tree, and he could only slowly tilt his head to look up at him.
Wei Sheng was still adding fuel to the fire. "Master, Master, he broke my leg, quickly! Kill him!"
Ming Zhitian glanced at him. "This good-for-nothing is your disciple?"
Emperor Ouhuang was now enraged to the extreme!
Seeing this, Wei Sheng rejoiced, believing Emperor Ouhuang was about to attack!
Little did he know it wasn't directed at Ming Zhitian, but at him.
Ming Zhitian said, "Your dog has offended me. You know what to do."
Wei Sheng was bewildered. Ming Zhitian was on their territory, and his master was also present, so why was he acting so arrogant?
Emperor Ouhuang formed a hand seal and unleashed his Baiyi Fist! However, it was not aimed at Ming Zhitian. Instead, he struck Wei Sheng, directly shattering his internal organs. Wei Sheng's eyes bulged, and he died a final death.
Emperor Ouhuang then hurried to Ming Zhitian's side and quickly knelt. "Ouhuang did not know of Master's return. Your subordinate pays respects to Master! I beg Master for punishment!"
Ming Zhitian said, "Ignorance is not a crime. Since you are willing to acknowledge me as Master, I will generously forgive you. All past grievances will be forgotten. Rise."
Emperor Ouhuang was overjoyed. "Thank you, Master!"
Ming Zhitian asked, "Have you seen Mo Li?"
Emperor Ouhuang nodded. "Your subordinate will take you there at once."
Mo Li Divine Venerable's Hidden Palace –
"Who?!"
Mo Li Divine Venerable himself flashed out. Upon seeing Ming Zhitian, he was extremely surprised. "Kid? You're not dead?"
Fei Jiang was displeased. "How are you speaking to Marshal Ming?"
Ming Zhitian waved his hand. "It's alright. Mo Li, I have returned now, and everything will be alright."
Mo Li Divine Venerable nodded, as if the clouds had parted and the sun emerged. He stretched out his hands, yawned, and sighed, "Finally, I don't have to hide like a rat anymore."
Emperor Ouhuang cupped his hands in salutation. "Master, may I ask… is the Ancient Immortal Emperor still alive?"
Ming Zhitian said, "He is dead."
"Dead??" Both Ouhuang and Mo Li were stunned.
