“Yes, Ancestor!” Yang Ruyu immediately stopped throwing punches, then sat cross-legged and began to calm her mind and regulate her qi.
The old man behind her nodded.
The old man had a ruddy complexion and white hair like silver threads. He did not have a frail or senile appearance, but rather a vigorous and energetic one.
Most importantly, outside the old man’s body, there was actually a faint, visible glow.
If one looked carefully, they would be shocked to discover that the old man had been floating since he appeared, always maintaining a distance of one finger’s width from the ground.
This small village of Bocun was clearly hiding an extraordinary figure.
The old man’s eyes were as clear as water, pure like a newborn infant.
Most importantly, the old man’s entire body seemed to contain mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, with a continuous and vast internal force.
A master among masters.
This was absolutely a Martial Saint.
He could even be said to be the greatest Martial Saint in the world.
Yang Tiangang!
“This weather is also quite strange.” Yang Tiangang looked up at the sky, then shook his head.
“Ancestor, regarding that battle of Senior Zhou Qiankun, are we really going to interfere?” Yang Ruyu asked.
If anyone else asked this question, they would inevitably get a beating.
But Yang Ruyu was different. The Ancestor was extremely fond of her, and he had even raised her with his own hands.
“Of course, young people nowadays do not know the immensity of heaven and earth. As the director of the Martial Force Tribunal, I will naturally not sit by and watch,” Yang Tiangang said with his hands behind his back.
If others heard these words, they would probably be shocked to the extreme.
Because the renowned director of the Martial Force Tribunal was actually in such a small village.
However, it was actually not hard to understand.
After all, had not Luo Chen come here?
Although Yang Tiangang did not understand spiritual energy, during his past travels, he had accidentally discovered that cultivating in this village would yield twice the result with half the effort, and the effects were exceptionally good.
Therefore, a long time ago, probably over a hundred years ago, he had quietly retired to live here.
As for the grudges and conflicts in the outside world, he rarely interfered with them.
But this time was different, because he had heard from Zhou Qiankun that the young man had actually dared to say.
If this world is my enemy, I will destroy this world.
If this heaven and earth is my enemy, I will destroy this heaven and earth.
This was simply too arrogant.
Moreover, the one he provoked was actually someone from their Martial Force Tribunal.
How could this group of elders quell this anger in their hearts?
Looking across the world, even he, Yang Tiangang, would not dare to say such things. After all, no one could say clearly just how many capable and extraordinary people existed between heaven and earth.
Moreover, his age was already terrifyingly high, and he had witnessed so many heroes and outstanding figures.
He had also seen so many brilliant new stars rise and then quickly fade away.
This time, someone was clearly not putting their Martial Force Tribunal in their eyes.
“That is true. That young man is too arrogant and knows nothing of the immensity of heaven and earth,” Yang Ruyu said, shaking her head.
“If there is a chance, I would like to see just how capable that young man is, daring to challenge a Martial Saint like Senior Zhou,” Yang Ruyu said.
“Soon. When the time comes, I will take you out to look around,” Yang Tiangang said slowly.
Then the figure flashed, disappearing to who knew where.
It was just that these two probably did not know that the arrogant young man they were talking about was right next door.
Luo Chen had sat cross-legged all day. Fortunately, he could already go without food for short periods, so he did not need to eat.
By nightfall, the snow in the entire village had melted, and it even got hotter in the latter half of the night.
“What kind of damn ghost weather is this? I had to wear thermal trousers and a cotton coat this morning, but now it is so hot I want to turn on the air conditioning,” someone cursed when getting up in the middle of the night.
It was too abnormal and too strange.
It had been snowing heavily in the morning, but now many people were taking cold showers and turning on fans.
Yang Ruyu was the same. She had originally been wearing thermal trousers, but now she had quietly gotten up to take a cold shower with well water.
It was as if in just a few hours, winter had suddenly turned into midsummer.
Yang Tiangang did not pay much attention, because his body was protected by internal force. Although he could feel the temperature had risen a bit, he did not feel the change was too significant.
Moreover, although Luo Chen was right next door, this energy had been channelled downwards into the ground by Luo Chen.
And then dispersed.
The entire village now felt like a giant heated brick bed.
By four or five o’clock, Luo Chen had already walked to the top of the mountain behind the village.
That place was obviously where someone practised martial arts all year round, but Luo Chen did not care about that.
Instead, he chose a spot next to a large tree and sat down cross-legged.
The spiritual energy here was the most abundant and the easiest to absorb. For Luo Chen right now, even a wisp of spiritual energy was a life-saving straw.
Therefore, Luo Chen paid no attention to those things.
However, as the sky began to brighten, Yang Ruyu and Yang Tiangang also arrived.
This was something that seemed to be done every day since Yang Ruyu could remember.
Whether it was windy or raining, this had to be done.
Both of them would come here to practise their punches.
Yang Tiangang had even been practising here for almost a hundred years.
It was just that today, there was clearly an unexpected guest.
This made Yang Ruyu raise an eyebrow.
This kind of thing had happened before.
It was never more than two types of people. One type wanted to pursue her and deliberately came to wait for her. A few young men in the city had done this before.
The other type wanted to secretly learn his skills.
But clearly, she would not like either type, nor would she welcome them.
Therefore, Yang Ruyu raised her eyebrow and was about to drive the person away.
At this moment, Yang Tiangang slowly waved his hand.
He was actually a bit curious, because this young man seemed to have entered a meditative state.
Being able to enter a meditative state at such a young age was quite good and showed some mental fortitude.
However, he was only slightly curious.
Then he let Yang Ruyu drive the person away.
“Hey, you must leave here immediately.” Yang Ruyu was very impolite, walking directly up to Luo Chen and speaking to him condescendingly.
Luo Chen slowly opened his eyes and looked at Yang Ruyu.
“Is this your place?” Luo Chen truly just wanted to ask.
But in Yang Ruyu’s ears, it sounded like a mockery.
She instantly got angry. After all, she had been spoiled since childhood. Even provincial governors would not dare to speak to her like this when they met her, and even Grandmasters had to be polite in front of her.
Now, an ordinary young man actually dared to mock her.
“It is not mine, but we are going to use this place now,” Yang Ruyu said domineeringly.
“I do not care if you came to pursue me or to secretly learn my skills. Right now, you must leave here,” Yang Ruyu glared at Luo Chen.
“If it is not yours, tell me, on what grounds do you order me to leave?”
“And why on earth should I listen to you?”
