Chapter 659 - 313 Absurd Answer
Yuan Wu promptly clasped his hands together and performed a respectful bow, “I have seen the Military Leader, we, we were just passing by and felt the presence of an Immortal Star, so we came to pay our visit!”
While Yuan Wu was speaking, Nuke led the others out.
He, too, had a respectful expression on his face as he bowed to Yu Tianfeng, “Nuke has seen the Military Leader.”
“Nuke of the Three-Eyed Star Region? I’ve heard of you, you have decent talent,” Yu Tianfeng glanced at Nuke and nodded slightly.
Nuke’s eyes lit up, and he quickly showed a smile, “The Military Leader flatters me! We mean no offense by coming to this Immortal Star, it was purely coincidental.”
Yu Tianfeng turned to Lu Yi and asked, “Yi’er, have they done anything improper? How do you want to handle this?”
Nuke and Yuan Wu, along with the others, had their pupils shrink, feeling a tremendous shock in their hearts as they looked over to Lu Yi.
To think that the Military Leader of the Star Realm Army would actually consult the opinion of a True Immortal?!
Who on earth is this person?!
Their nerves suddenly on edge, they looked at Lu Yi, sweat breaking out on their backs.
Gauging from the situation, if the True Immortal in front of them decided to deal with them, the Military Leader of the Star Realm Army probably wouldn’t show any mercy!
Even if Nuke himself was the heir to the Bolos Chamber of Commerce and held a distinguished status in the Three-Eyed Star Region, the case would likely be the same.
Lu Yi glanced at the tense crowd, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile, “They’ve been quite polite, and haven’t made any rash moves. Uncle Tianfeng, it’s all right.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianfeng nodded slightly, “Since you’ve said so, I won’t pursue the matter any further.”
Nuke and the others instantly relaxed completely, feeling as if they had been spared from a calamity.
Nuke was relieved that he had instructed Yuan Wu to be a bit more respectful earlier; otherwise, the story might have been very different.
“Uncle Tianfeng, let’s go. We can rest at our White Cloud Immortal Sect, you must be tired from the long journey,” Lu Yi offered.
“Hahaha, the old ancestor himself told me to come over, how could I not? Am I looking to be killed by the old ancestor?” Yu Tianfeng said jokingly.
He was well aware of how high this young man’s status was in the heart of the Yu Family Ancestor now.
The disciples of the Yu Family’s direct lineage couldn’t even compare to him.
While Yu Tianfeng spoke jestingly, Nuke and the others nearby were numbed.
The Yu Family Ancestor personally gave instructions?!
Was it just for a mere True Immortal that he sent the Military Leader of the Star Realm Army himself?!
The Star Realm Army is always busy, after all, they have to deal with the Jiuyou Battlefield, fight against the Heavenly Demon Group, and their area of responsibility is so vast that the number of tasks they need to handle is nearly countless.
The Military Leader is not a person who has much free time, yet here he was, arriving at the earliest opportunity.
This True Immortal was actually considered so important by an Immortal Venerable Level powerhouse?!
How could that be?
Nuke and his companions were unable to comprehend this.
Watching Lu Yi and Yu Tianfeng and the others moving away, Nuke and his group remained in the vacuum of space.
With the Military Leader of the Star Realm Army present, they naturally didn’t dare act rashly.
As they watched the departing figures, Yuan Wu and the others fell silent for a moment. Yuan Wu turned to Nuke, “Young Master, what should we do?”
Nuke, eyes flickering and filled with curiosity, asked, “Have any of you ever seen that… young master?”
Nuke thought it over; that man’s cultivation base wasn’t even as high as his own, likely just entering the realm of a True Immortal not long ago.
However, he still referred to him as a young master.
After all, his status was incredibly noble, someone that even the Yu Family Ancestor, an Immortal Venerable Level being, would personally take care of, was definitely not someone a fifth heir of a top power in the Three-Eyed Star Region could compare to.
Yuan Wu and the others exchanged looks and all shook their heads, “We have never seen him before.”
A middle-aged man hesitantly spoke up, “Young Master, could that young master be an important person from the Yu Family? Perhaps not in the Yu Family’s Star Region but staying here instead?”
Nuke shook his head, “Even if he were an important person from the Yu Family, he would not draw such attention from an Immortal Venerable Level powerhouse. That’s an Immortal Venerable! How many talents and powerhouses does the Yu Family have? Why would an Immortal Venerable take such care for just one person like this?”
“Then who is he?” the people wondered.
Nuke shook his head, and at that moment, his body stiffened, and his eyes widened suddenly as if he had thought of something.
He mumbled to himself, “…Taoist energy, could it be…no, it can’t be! How is that possible?”
“Young Master?” Seeing Nuke’s ghost-like expression, Yuan Wu and the others grew worried.
Nuke, who was exceptionally talented and steady from a young age, now showed an expression they had never seen before on his face.
“Are you all right, Young Master?” concerned, Yuan Wu asked, “Should we head back?”
Nuke came back to his senses, grabbing Yuan Wu’s arm, all three of his eyes showing an indescribable look, and he said, “…Yuan Wu, what do you think is the likelihood that the movement of Taoist energy earlier was caused by that young master?”
Hearing this, Yuan Wu didn’t hesitate to shake his head, “That’s impossible! It cannot be! We felt the Taoist energy from such a great distance, if we were closer, it would have been like a tidal wave! Such a disturbance could not possibly have been caused by a True Immortal! At the very least, it would have to be an Innate Spirit Treasure or even something more powerful, or perhaps an Immortal Monarch or an even stronger being.”
Nuke’s expression was strange as he responded, “Then, if the Taoist energy indeed came from that young master, would the Yu Family Ancestor take special care of him.”
“Of course…” As he said this, Yuan Wu suddenly paused, and his entire being froze.
