Celestial Emperor of Devouring

Chapter 1027: Chapter 1017: Thunder Patriarch’s Wrath

"Such disrespectful juniors!"

The fierce gaze of Lei Ting Patriarch swept over Tang Yuyan, not considering the chief of the Star Ancient Sect Elder Council worthy of regard.

In the eyes of Lei Ting Patriarch, Tang Yuyan was merely a junior and not qualified to speak with him.

Tang Yuyan felt the gaze of Lei Ting Patriarch, her heart tightened slightly, but her face remained calm.

Although Tang Yuyan’s cultivation was not high, she could feel the terrifying and boundless aura of Lei Ting Patriarch.

His old eyes turned towards the palace of the Star Ancient Sect, and Lei Ting Patriarch said in a deep voice, "Let the Sect Leader Zhuqing of the Star Ancient Sect come out! I want to see if the Star Ancient Sect dares to disrespect me today."

The voice resounded through the venue like muffled thunder.

His tone was filled with dominance and authority, as if his orders could not be questioned.

Tang Yuyan frowned slightly, a wave of displeasure rising in her heart.

Staring at Lei Ting Patriarch, Tang Yuyan coldly said, "Who do you think you are? The Elder Council of the Star Ancient Sect is not a place for you to run wild."

Lei Ting Patriarch sneered slightly, exuding disdain, and said imposingly, "Little girl, you are not qualified to speak with me. Let Zhuqing come out, I want to talk with him."

Tang Yuyan was about to retort when a figure slowly emerged from within the Star Ancient Sect.

This person was Zhu Qing, the Sect Leader of the Star Ancient Sect.

Zhu Qing’s expression was stern, with an air of authority in his eyes.

Zhu Qing’s aura was powerful, not inferior to Lei Ting Patriarch at all.

Looking at Lei Ting Patriarch, Zhu Qing slightly cupped his hands and said, "Lei Ting Patriarch, today is the Elder Council of my Star Ancient Sect, what is your business here?"

Lei Ting Patriarch snorted coldly, saying, "Zhuqing, I’ve come here today to have the Great Elder of the Thunder Immortal Sect attend the Elder Council. Since I personally came, I presume you will not refuse."

Zhu Qing’s expression changed slightly; he didn’t expect Lei Ting Patriarch to be so domineering.

Shaking his head slightly, Zhu Qing said, "Lei Ting Patriarch, not just anyone can attend the Elder Council, and only Chief Tang Yuyan has the final say, rules cannot be broken, not even I as Sect Leader can interfere."

"Chief Tang Yuyan is personally appointed by the ancestor of the Star Ancient Sect."

These words from Zhu Qing undoubtedly moved Tang Yuyan greatly, filling her with confidence.

Lei Ting Patriarch’s eyes grew cold, he said sternly, "Zhu Qing, are you not giving me face?"

Lei Ting Patriarch clearly didn’t believe Zhu Qing’s words; how could the Sect Leader of the Star Ancient Sect not be able to interfere?

Zhu Qing’s expression didn’t change, he smiled faintly and said, "Lei Ting Patriarch, rules are rules. If Chief Tang says your Great Elder is not qualified to attend, then he is not qualified."

"If you insist on forcibly interfering with the Elder Council and disrupting it, then do not blame me for being impolite."

While speaking.

Zhu Qing’s aura suddenly intensified, overwhelmingly terrifying and powerful, even stronger than Lei Ting Patriarch.

Even if Zhu Qing’s cultivation was not above Lei Ting Patriarch, he would still be unafraid.

"Hmph! Do you think I’m afraid of you?" Lei Ting Patriarch shouted angrily, his vast and powerful aura erupting once again.

Zhu Qing’s old face darkened, slightly angry, "Lei Ting Patriarch, today is the Elder Council of the Star Ancient Sect. I advise you not to cause trouble; everything can be discussed after the Elder Council."

"This junior claims my Thunder Immortal Sect is not qualified; I want to know what qualifies as ’qualified.’ If you can provide an answer that convinces me, I will leave immediately; otherwise, I’m not done with you!" Lei Ting Patriarch said coldly, refusing to give in.

Unfazed, Zhu Qing said, "I have said, Chief Tang Yuyan has the final say."

"Then there’s nothing more to discuss." Lei Ting Patriarch said coldly, his terrifying aura continually rising, becoming even more frightening.

The burgeoning clash between the two late-stage demigod powerhouses terrified everyone present.

At this moment.

The atmosphere on site grew tenser; everyone fell silent, their hearts in their throats.

Everyone feared the terrifying power struggle between the two.

All present were well aware that if these two clashed, it would likely lead to destruction, plunging the entire Divine Realm into ruin.

Lei Ting Patriarch’s expression became even more grim; he hadn’t expected Zhu Qing to be so unyielding, not giving him any face for Tang Yuyan.

Lei Ting Patriarch was seething with rage inside, but he also knew the power of the Star Ancient Sect was not to be underestimated.

If they truly fought, not only would it create enmity with the Star Ancient Sect, but Lei Ting Patriarch was also not fully confident of victory.

Just at that moment.

Thunder Immortal Sect’s leader stepped forward, whispering, "Patriarch, don’t act rashly. The Star Ancient Sect’s strength is not weak, if we forcibly engage, it could result in mutual injury."

"The prestige of the Star Ancient Sect in the Divine Realm is extremely high; becoming enemies with them could isolate the Thunder Immortal Sect."

"With this old patriarch’s strength, will I really fear them?" Lei Ting Patriarch said angrily, "If I’m provoked enough, I’ll self-destruct and take them down with me!"

Zhu Qing openly disrespecting him in front of various powers was something Lei Ting Patriarch could not stomach.

As a dignified ancestor of the Thunder Immortal Sect, he could not afford to lose face like this.

Even though Lei Ting Patriarch’s power and status were not above Zhu Qing’s, few in the Divine Realm were Lei Ting Patriarch’s equals.

If it came to a life-and-death battle, Lei Ting Patriarch was indeed not afraid of Zhu Qing.

These words caused.

The Thunder Immortal Sect leader to be terrified to the core.

In his view, sacrificing Lei Ting Patriarch’s life over an Honored Guest Elder position was simply not worth it.

At this point.

Zhu Qing coldly remarked, "Lei Ting Patriarch, today is our Star Ancient Sect Elder Council. I wasn’t planning on taking issue with you, but if you insist on disrupting the council, I’m not opposed to resolving you first!"

Having repeatedly failed to persuade Lei Ting Patriarch, his antics disrupted the Star Ancient Sect Elder Council.

Zhu Qing could no longer tolerate his behavior.

"Resolve me?" Lei Ting Patriarch grew more enraged, harshly saying, "Zhu Qing, you speak as if you can kill me at any time."

"If you really have that ability, give it a try! Even if it costs me this life today, I will show you the consequences of underestimating me!"

"Buzz buzz!"

As the angry words fell, a wave of extreme terrifying Immortal Power erupted from Lei Ting Patriarch’s body, transforming into a terrifying storm, causing the Star Ancient Sect to tremble violently.

Just as the two were about to clash, the powerful figures from various forces watched with pounding hearts, while the timid ones fled for their lives.

A battle between late-stage demigod powerhouses was surely a cataclysmic event.

However.

Just then.

A voice that struck fear into Lei Ting Patriarch emerged.

"Lei Ting Patriarch, you have quite the nerve, daring to come to the Star Ancient Sect and disrupt the Elder Council." The icy laughter of Gu Chenfeng resounded.

"Gu Chenfeng!" Lei Ting Patriarch’s old face changed drastically, deducing from the voice that it was Gu Chenfeng.
