Paragon of Sin

being merely a few feet away from Wei Wuyin, he still demanded someone else to take action.
The skinny old man glanced at He Yanglei, a trace of contempt emerged in his eyes, and he looked away.

Regardless of what, since Wei Wuyin had come infinitely close to killing He Yanglei, he had to give an explanation.
In a way, he had failed in his duties to protect his life.
With a faint sigh, he lifted his right hand.
The movement was unfathomably slow, but Wei Wuyin felt as if it was all that existed in this world.

With a faint sigh within his heart, he decided to risk it all despite their extremely close distance.
Those silver eyes of his became radiant. 

Just as the skinny old man ’s hand was about to touch Wei Wuyin, to the point where Wei Wuyin hadn ’t even noticed how close the tip of his fingers were, he stopped.
It was only then that Wei Wuyin realized that he hadn ’t registered the skinny old man ’s movements, that he wasn ’t even able to move or react. 

How terrifying was this?!

”Who are you? ” The skinny old man asked, inspecting Wei Wuyin with shock present within his eyes. 

Unsure of what was happening, Wei Wuyin didn ’t hesitate to say, ”It doesn ’t matter.
If a senior such as yourself seeks to act against a junior like myself, why have so many considerations? ” He faintly smiled, no longer deciding to risk it all. 

The skinny old man frowned.

”What are you doing?! Just kill him! ” He Yanglei demanded, but the skinny old man ignored him.
The skinny old man reached out, grabbing Wei Wuyin ’s shoulder.

Wei Wuyin could only watch as he was grabbed, feeling a distinct sense of helplessness overwhelm him.
What the hell was this? With all the power he had, all the trump cards he possessed, was the Mystic Ascendant Realm so vastly beyond his abilities that he couldn ’t even retaliate? 

He felt a strange power integrate into his body, inspecting every trace of his body, but his heart and Sea of Consciousness faintly trembled.
For some reason, he breathed a breath of relief.
It seemed Kratos and Eden were still capable of evading this strange power ’s notice.
They were his greatest secrets.

The skinny old man ’s eyes widened, looking at Wei Wuyin with a trace of terror and fear within.
”Who are you?! ” He asked again, this time causing He Yanglei ’s outrage to cease.
The recently resurrected existence trembled with shock.
Was Wei Wuyin someone special?

Wei Wuyin shook his head, not willing to answer.
He simply watched the old man with a quiet gaze.
It was as if he was accepting any fate that was left to him. 

After a long moment, the skinny old man lifted his palm and frowned even deeper.
When he inspected Wei Wuyin ’s body, bypassing the strange concealment he had, he learned about the truth! Wei Wuyin ’s cultivation foundation, level, age, quality of energies, and even his aspects were revealed.

To see innate energies so refined, he felt it unbelievable, but when he discovered the ten-rings that manifested around his Astral Souls within his dantian, his heart was shaken so thoroughly that he felt genuine fear.
An emotion he hadn ’t felt in a long, long time.

If someone said this young man didn ’t belong to a massive force or had extremely powerful backing, he would slap them dead for treating him like an ignorant fool.
The thoughts of acting against Wei Wuyin dissipated like the wind.
To add, Wei Wuyin was utterly fearless and even had the intention to fight him before.

Who had such a devastatingly powerful mentality? Only those who had absolute certainty that they wouldn ’t die! 

”… ” The skinny old man didn ’t say anything else, giving Wei Wuyin one last glance.
He turned around, and both he and He Yanglei vanished as if they were never there.
Only Wei Wuyin remained.

A divine beam surged down from the sky, carrying the eight tokens merged into one!
