Open up and break into another world

“Should I give this jade slip to Yang Wei for his viewing pleasure?”

Just as Xu Ming was hesitating, a fiery red figure rapidly broke through the air.

“It’s a Dao Venerate!” Xu Ming's expression sharpened, and a slight sense of vigilance arose.

However, Xu Ming wasn't too worried; after all, the Dao Venerates of the Asking Dao Palace couldn't casually attack the geniuses within the Divine Kingdom.

Whoosh—

In the blink of an eye, this Dao Venerate mighty figure descended upon the area where Xu Ming was.

On his fiery red robe, a phoenix reborn from the ashes was joyfully dancing in a sea of fire. However, his gaze wasn't fiery, but rather, sinister.

“Venerable Dan! You've come!” Yang Wei shouted excitedly.

“Mm!” The newcomer coldly grunted.

“Venerable Dan,” Yao Yu, had extremely high attainments in the art of alchemy; it was even rumored within the clan that he was very likely to become Elder Maple Leaf's successor.

The reason why Yao Yu came here was actually to help the disciples of the Purple Moon Holy Land heal their injuries.

Yao Yu coldly glanced at Xu Ming, then directly stepped into Yang Wei's residence. Looking at the room full of “cripples,” he couldn't help but frown: “How can so many of you have been beaten to such a state?”

The disciples of the Purple Moon Holy Land respectfully surrounded him.

Yang Wei even tearfully complained: “Venerable Dan, that Xu Ming outside is far too arrogant! He relies on having many Dao Talismans to cripple dozens of our disciples… Moreover, he's now blocking our door, provoking us; it's truly infuriating! —Please, Venerable Dan, take action and uphold justice for us!”

Yao Yu said expressionlessly: “The Asking Dao Palace has its rules; it's impossible for me to take action to help deal with Xu Ming; otherwise, I would be violating the rules!”

“Alas…” Although Yang Wei and the others had long expected Yao Yu to answer this way, they still couldn't help but feel a wave of disappointment.

“However…” Yao Yu added, “Since the higher-ups of your Purple Moon Holy Land entrusted me to look after you a bit within the Divine Kingdom, I naturally can't stand idly by in this matter… How about this, I'll help you heal your injuries first; after the healing is complete, I'll step forward to mediate a truce for you!”

Mediate a truce…

The disciples of the Purple Moon Holy Land were naturally not very satisfied with this outcome. However, they couldn't do anything to Xu Ming at all; a truce might be their only option!

Moreover, it was better for Venerable Dan to take the initiative to mediate a truce for them than for them to beg Venerable Dan to step forward and help mediate, right?

He threw out a pile of pills and cast a series of secret techniques; in no time, he had dealt with everything.

“Alright, after you recuperate for a few days, you'll be fully recovered!” After completing the healing, Yao Yu said, “Now, I'll go help you mediate a truce!”

Saying that, Yao Yu directly walked outside, coldly looked at Xu Ming, and said in a tone that brooked no refusal: “Xu Ming, for my sake, let the grudges between you and the Purple Moon Holy Land end here! Let both sides cease hostilities!”

The faces of the Purple Moon Holy Land disciples all revealed expressions of humiliation. In their view, making peace with Xu Ming was undoubtedly an extremely humiliating matter.

Xu Ming looked at this Venerable Dan Yao Yu, then looked at the people of the Purple Moon Holy Land, remained silent for a good while, and then looked at Venerable Dan with a face full of doubt: “Who… are you?”

Who are you?

Yao Yu was stunned—you actually don't recognize me?

The disciples of the Purple Moon Holy Land were also stunned. Yang Wei even jumped out and scolded: “Impudent! Xu Ming, you truly have eyes but cannot see; you actually don't even recognize the dignified Venerable Dan Yao Yu!”

“‘Venerable Dan’ Yao Yu?” Xu Ming's voice carried a hint of doubt, “Never heard of him!”

Xu Ming had really never heard of him!

“You…” Yao Yu was instantly so angry that his face turned green, “You've never heard of me!?”

“Is it strange that I've never heard of you?” Xu Ming said nonchalantly, “Among the mighty figures in alchemy, I've only heard of one, and that's our human race's number one alchemist—Elder Maple Leaf!”

Yao Yu was one of Elder Maple Leaf's personal disciples. Since Xu Ming had brought up Elder Maple Leaf's name, he naturally couldn't say much; otherwise, it would be disrespectful to his own master!

Xu Ming wasn't actually deliberately bringing up Elder Maple Leaf's name, but… he had really only heard of Elder Maple Leaf!

Honestly speaking, was there something wrong with telling the truth?

Yao Yu forcefully suppressed his anger and coldly snorted: “Xu Ming, I don't care whether you've heard of me or not; in any case, from now on, you and the Purple Moon Holy Land will shake hands and make peace—no objections, right?”

“Well… I have some objections!” Xu Ming smiled disdainfully, “I never intended to shake hands and make peace with the Purple Moon Holy Land! After all… I'm completely unilaterally trampling on them right now, so why should I shake hands and make peace?”

Shaking hands and making peace was something that only happened when both sides were of equal strength!

Right now, Xu Ming was steadily suppressing and trampling on them, so why should he shake hands and make peace? Even if there was a truce, it should be the Purple Moon Holy Land paying a sufficient price and then begging Xu Ming to raise his hand in mercy and let them off!

“You're not giving me face!?” Yao Yu's gaze became increasingly cold.

“That thing…” Xu Ming smiled, “I haven't even heard of who you are, so why should I give you face!? —Not giving you face is considered provocation?”

“Arrogant!! Truly too arrogant!!” Yao Yu said in exasperation, “Do you think that just because I don't dare to attack you in the Divine Kingdom, you can be unscrupulously arrogant!? —Since you refuse a toast, then you'll have to drink a forfeit!”

After Yao Yu finished speaking, he re-entered Yang Wei's residence and directly took out several bottles of pills and tossed them over.

“This is…?” Yang Wei received the pills and asked in confusion.

“Inside, they're all Limit-Breaking Pills! After taking them, you can unleash an attack that far exceeds your own strength once!”

Yang Wei was immediately overjoyed: “Thank you, Venerable Dan! Thank you, Venerable Dan!”

At the same time, Yang Wei couldn't help but mock Xu Ming in his heart: “Venerable Dan gave him a chance for ‘peace’; he didn't cherish it; now it's good, he angered Venerable Dan; isn't this courting death? —Limit-Breaking Pills! After I take them, I can completely break through a low-grade Venerate-tier warship!”
