Before anyone arrived, the thick sense of oppression already surged forward.

Everyone's expressions changed.

At this moment.

The sea was calm, and the battleships seemed frozen on its surface, not moving a bit, while everyone looked towards the distant horizon, their hearts involuntarily starting to beat slightly faster.

The previously arrogant Luofu Sword Venerate respectfully bowed:

"Welcome, Red Sun Martial Saint!"

Swoosh!

In an instant, the entire audience was in an uproar.

Everyone's minds heated up, the blood in their bodies started to boil, although they had guessed part of it from the newcomer's self-introduction, now with Luofu Sword Venerate's confirmation, there was no doubt about his identity.

Red Sun Martial Saint.

A Martial Saint who had just emerged recently, furthermore, had established the Red Sun Sect, stirring the winds and clouds across the world. The Great Yan Martial Saint personally allocated a region for the Red Sun Sect to use freely, with full dominion rights.

Only now did everyone realize, Luofu Sword Venerate had already joined the Red Sun Sect, presumably, the Red Sun Martial Saint had promised some terms.

Taoist Longshan's heart sank.

The sudden reappearance of Luofu Sword Venerate to stir up others' greed had already made the situation difficult, and now, it had escalated to an extremely challenging mode, with the arrival of an Ancient Saint, leaving him without any confidence.

Under the gazes of everyone.

An extremely luxurious golden carriage appeared, surrounded by Celestial Human Realm experts on all four sides, lifting the carriage, the sight already awe-inspiring, but what drew the most attention was the old man in the carriage, clad in a golden red magnificent robe, like the great day, hair and beard entirely red, with a bald head at the top, exposing a shiny head.

This bald elder lay leisurely on the carriage, beside him were several stunning women casting longing glances, their arms like soft willows, with utmost tenderness and charm.

The carriage stood in midair, the Celestial Human Realm martial artists lifting it had proud chests, not only without a trace of shame, but with immense pride.

Ask the world, how many can pull a carriage for a Martial Saint?

"We pay respects to the Red Sun Martial Saint!" A vast voice sounded in unison, everyone bowed their heads to show respect.

Strength is revered.

A timeless truth everywhere.

But True Martial Sect members did not move.

Even fools could see the visitors' bad intent.

Luofu Sword Venerate coldly shouted:

"Taoist Longshan, the Martial Saint asks you, why do you not respond?! Do you dare to despise the Martial Saint?"

At this moment, he felt quite spirited, releasing long-suppressed anger.

Since the rise of True Man Tianjian, his days had been miserably difficult, often being ridiculed, but now, with the Red Sun Martial Saint backing him, he was no longer afraid, thinking that even True Man Tianjian, no matter how strong, could not surpass a Martial Saint?

Seeing the True Martial Sect in a wretched state now only brought immense satisfaction to him.

Taoist Longshan gazed at him deeply, then slightly bowed towards the old man in the carriage:

"I've met the Red Sun Martial Saint, my humble self did not lie. Upon entering the True Martial Hall, I luckily passed the first test of comprehension, the Yin Yang Fist, but failed at the second test, the Four Symbols Palm. However, I did pass a few combat tests and gained some opportunity rewards."

"But as for the True Martial legacy, indeed, my humble self did not obtain it."

He spoke earnestly, even mentioning the names of the tests within.

Everyone looked thoughtful.

Could it be that the mysterious changes were really unrelated to the True Martial Sect?

Red Sun Martial Saint laughed, finally casting his first glance at Taoist Longshan since his arrival. His laughter carried a hint of ridicule, seemingly mixed with disdain:

"I am aware."

"The True Martial Hall's test is inherently unreasonable, the nine tests of comprehension are immensely difficult, with no hope for anyone to pass. Throughout ancient and modern times, no prodigies have managed to pass. Given that you, approaching a hundred years old before reaching Celestial Human Realm, are a waste, how could you possibly pass?"

Everyone's expressions changed.

Taoist Longshan reaching Celestial Human Realm near a hundred years old was already top-tier talent. If such individuals are considered waste, what would that make them, even less than waste?

True Martial Sect members were indignant.

But Taoist Longshan's expression remained calm.

"Since the Martial Saint knows our True Martial Sect did not obtain the inheritance, may we be allowed to leave."

Red Sun Martial Saint slightly straightened up, looked at Taoist Longshan with interest:

"No."

Taoist Longshan asked in a deep voice:

"Why?"

In the Red Sun Martial Saint's eyes, a bright light suddenly shot out, shining brilliantly like the great sun, his power overwhelmingly majestic, his voice vast and grand:

"Because you disrespected me."

Taoist Longshan's expression changed, only feeling overwhelming pressure descending, as if seeing two great suns appear in the sky, one hanging high in the sky, the other close at hand, the terrifying pressure causing cold sweat on his forehead. He tried to resist using the Power of Heaven and Earth, but it was to no avail, the changes of Yin and Yang were powerless before such absolute power disparity.

"Pfft."

Taoist Longshan's face flushed red, he spat blood and flew back.

Ye Qinghe and others caught him, also spitting blood, just the slightest aftershock causing unbearable pressure for them, they dared not express their anger, could only clench their fists tightly.

Everyone held their breath.

The previous strength of Taoist Longshan was witnessed by everyone, but now in front of the Red Sun Martial Saint, he seemed like a child, making everyone realize even more the significance of Ancient Saints, this was a gap in strength like a chasm, there were even rumors this was far from the peak of Ancient Saints.

Taoist Longshan steadied himself, spat another mouthful of blood, his lungs shaking, clearly taking internal injuries.

He understood.

This was the Red Sun Martial Saint not even bothering to take him seriously, striking casually, otherwise, he would be killed instantly. A sense of powerlessness arose in his heart, looking at Luofu Sword Venerate beside him, he understood, this Red Sun Martial Saint was just finding an excuse, the real reason likely being to vent for his newly recruited subordinate.
