Just as the old man was about to strike down Little Red, he accidentally discovered Xiao Bu Dian on Little Red's back, which made him withdraw his killing intent.
"Old man, he is my Disciple, let him go."
The next moment, the golden light barrier trapping Little Red shattered little by little, and beside Little Red, the space was instantly torn apart, and Ye Lin, with a smile on his face, stepped out from the spatial turbulence.
"Boss."
"Master."
Upon seeing Ye Lin, Xiao Bu Dian and Little Red both exclaimed in joyful surprise.
And Ye Lin never expected that these two fellows would arrive in this Ascension Prefecture one step ahead of him, and even try to compete for the ascension plate.
"May I ask which Fellow Daoist you are? This old man is Xuan Du, an Elder of the Grand One Immortal Sect in Ascension Prefecture."
Seeing Ye Lin before him, Xuan Du cupped his fists and bowed to Ye Lin.
From the way Ye Lin was able to easily resolve his techniques just now, Ye Lin was worthy of his serious attention.
"Disciple of Nameless Mountain, Ye Lin."
Ye Lin spoke with his hands behind his back.
Upon hearing the name of Nameless Mountain, apart from Xuan Du, the remaining seven people felt a jolt in their hearts; the person from Nameless Mountain had actually come.
"Oh? A Disciple of Nameless Mountain, may I ask why you are here? It can't just be to take your Disciple home, can it?"
Xuan Du's expression remained unchanged as he asked.
"I presume you also know my purpose. There's no need for you to play games with me."
Ye Lin looked deeply at Xuan Du and said.
This old man, actually playing games with him? Even a three-year-old child probably knew his purpose, right?
"So that's how it is. However, even if it's Nameless Mountain, you still have to respect the rules of our Ascension Prefecture, right?"
Xuan Du pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.
"Fellow Daoist, Nameless Mountain governs the Human Race Five Counties. In other words, all of the Human Race Five Counties belong to Nameless Mountain. Does Nameless Mountain need to abide by your rules to take something from its own territory?"
Ye Lin immediately placed a huge accusation on Xuan Du's head.
If Xuan Du said yes, then this ascension plate would be his, and he wouldn't need to exert effort to snatch it.
If not, then it would be an admission that Xuan Du, and even the entire Ascension Prefecture, had rebellious intentions, and that would be a huge accusation.
At that time, it was likely that the entire Ascension Prefecture would face a purge from Nameless Mountain.
Nameless Mountain had the power to suppress the Human Race Five Counties, which also meant it had the strength to purge the Human Race Five Counties.
However, with East Continent in such chaos now, for the sake of the entire Human Race, they were just temporarily not bothering with him.
If he dared to bring it out into the open, then perhaps countless Nameless Mountain armies would descend upon Ascension Prefecture tomorrow, thoroughly purging every force in Ascension Prefecture.
Upon hearing Ye Lin's words, Xuan Du's expression also became extremely solemn.
This Ye Lin looked young, but every word he spoke was profound.
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. Nameless Mountain governs the Human Race Five Counties, and the rules, naturally, are set by Nameless Mountain. We dare not make presumptuous judgments."
After pondering for a moment, Xuan Du slowly spoke.
He still didn't dare to clash head-on with Nameless Mountain; for an ascension plate, it wasn't worth it.
Furthermore, he didn't have the courage or the strength to clash head-on with Nameless Mountain.
"I hope so."
Ye Lin looked deeply at Xuan Du, then stepped forward. Under the gaze of the eight people, Ye Lin uprooted the entire ascension plate, and even the Ascension Pool within it was directly taken into Ye Lin's space ring.
"Since that's the case, gentlemen, have a good time. I bid you farewell."
After speaking, Ye Lin stepped onto Little Red's back. Little Red spread its wings and flew towards the distance, disappearing in an instant.
Watching Ye Lin leave, all eight people felt unwilling.
"Did... did he just take the ascension plate like that?"
