Upon hearing that, the old man immediately fell silent.
Not even Yan Nantian possessed such formidable strength to wipe out Heavenly Venerate and Dharma King level experts from the Evil Path Palace.
“Does Alliance Leader mean that there is an even more powerful person behind David?” asked the Great Elder.
“Correct.” The woman nodded. “When the Soul Eater came here, he was obviously seriously injured and was very hostile to David. But David’s strength was definitely not comparable to the Soul Eater, even Yan Nantian.”
“This means there must be someone even more powerful behind David, perhaps an expert from the tenth heaven or a higher realm.”
“Then, the reason why Yan Nantian is not afraid of the Soul Eater and wants to protect David must also be because of that powerful figure?” said an old man.
“Yes!” The woman nodded: “Yan Nantian, I know him well. Although this person has always been kind and fair, he will not do anything if there is no benefit in it.”
“Alliance Leader, what should we do next? We are afraid that it will be difficult to take action against David, who is under the protection of Yan Nantian,” said the Great Elder.
The woman stared out the window and pondered for a moment before slowly saying, “Let’s temporarily stop targeting David. I also need to go to the Yama Heavenly Sect.”
“Alliance Leader, what are you doing in the Yama Heavenly Sect?” asked an old man.
“Apologise,” the woman said slowly.
“Alliance Leader David injured our troops and even cut off the arm of the leader of the Four Shadow Guards” said the Great Elder hastily.
“So what?” replied the woman.
“If we spare David, or even apologize, wouldn’t we be ridiculed by other sects?”
“After all, the Soul Eater will soon recover and come out of seclusion. Won’t he be angry when he finds out what we’ve done?” said the Great Elder.
“If the Soul Devourer can be hurt once, then he can definitely be hurt twice. We can’t put all our eggs in one basket on the Soul Devourer.”
“What if David really has an extremely powerful figure behind him, perhaps even surpassing the tenth or twelfth level of the Celestial Realm?” asked the woman.
“That can’t be true!” said an old man, his face full of disbelief.
“Beyond the twelfth heaven? How is that possible? The area within the twelfth heaven is considered the lower heaven, while the thirteenth to twenty-fourth heaven are the middle heaven, and anything above the twenty-fourth heaven is the upper heaven.”
“To surpass the twelfth level of the Celestial Realm, I don’t need to explain the difficulty, and I believe the Alliance Leader is also aware of it. The powerful figure behind David is at most no higher than the twelfth level of the Celestial Realm.”
The other old man didn’t believe it either.
“Stupid…” The woman slowly got up and walked towards the exit of the hall, saying, “A mere third-grade Immortal dares to provoke the Evil Path Hall, dares to provoke Venerable Soul Eater, and even dares to roam the Nine Heavens. How strong do you think the person behind him is?”
The three elders and the Great Elder fell silent, because even though they had the strength, they did not have the courage to do so.
