Just as he released the yellow sandy wings and flew toward the VIP spectators' area below, everyone's attention was transferred toward him.
Even Xiao Yan and others glanced in his direction; at the same time, the Mu and Nalan clan leaders also became confused seeing Jia Xing Tian releasing his wing and dou qi pressure.
While the guardian Jia appeared and halted in midair in front of Shen Yi and his father,
Immediately directing everyone's attention toward them, everyone became thoughtful looking at Shen Yi and his father; everyone recognized his father, but some became confused about Shen Yi's identity.
Shen Han was also startled by the guardian's arrival, and he hurriedly walked forward and saluted. He gestured toward Shen Yi and introduced him.
"Master guardian, this is my son, Shen Yi. He returned after a two-and-a-half-year disappearance."
Shen Han glanced at Shen Yi and spoke, "Yi'er, this is the guardian of the Jia Ma Empire, a strong Dou Emperor expert."
Shen Yi nodded and clasped his hand toward the guardian Jia and spoke, "Greetings, Guardian Jia."
The audience immediately remembered his identity.
"Isn't this boy the one in the rumor who destroyed the Mo clan… He looks extremely young, the same age as Yan Xiao."
Nalan Jia, the grandfather of Nalan Yanran, walked forward and commented, looking at Shen Yi deeply; he was really surprised by the Shen Han introduction just now.
"Maybe the rumors are false. I would rather believe some passing experts destroyed the Mo clan instead of believing that such a young man can do it. How old was he when the Mo clan was annihilated? I remember it was a few years ago…" Nalan Su shook his head and refuted the rumors after hearing his father's words.
Even Mu Chen, the Mu clan leader, sat up straight looking at Shen Yi. "We will find out soon; the guardian Jia probably is looking for him to confirm the rumors."
Guardian Jia nodded, looking at him while fixing the glass patch on his eyes, and he asked majestically,
"Shen Yi, I heard about you. I was waiting to meet you. It's good to see you so young and energetic. Now can you tell me if the rumors regarding the Mo clan are true or not? Was it you who destroyed the Mo clan?"
After speaking, he glanced at him with a deep gaze, waiting for his reply. The silence spread through the whole venue; even Xiao Yan was looking at Shen Yi thoughtfully.
"This guy was always mysterious and strange; if rumors are really true, then his current strength must be unfathomable."
He thought to himself while waiting for the confirmation like everyone else.
Shen Yi walked forward and stood in front of his father and replied calmly, "It was really me who destroyed the Mo clan, and I took an oath to kill any surviving Mo clan members if I see one of them anywhere in the future."
Immediately silence spread around; some spectators sucked in a cold breath, and the remaining audience were surprised also by his answer, while Nalan Jia and Mu Chen's brows furrowed.
"This boy is extremely ruthless… How did the Mo Clan offend such a monster?"
Nalan Jia muttered thoughtfully as his expression became more solemn looking at Shen Yi.
Guardian Jia was also surprised by his answer, and then he laughed and spoke.
"Hahaha, today's younger generation are really boastful."
He raised his arm, and three sand whirlpools condensed around him; the next moment, these three whirlpools shot toward the Shen Yi like three sand spears.
"Sigh… it seems the years of peace made the older generation conceited and forgetful about the sky."
Shen Yi spoke with a sigh; the next moment, the three sand spears froze in the void in front of him and then slowly dissipated.
A heavy suppression spread around, covering the whole capital city of Jia Ma.
Guardian Jia and other experts froze in place; their expressions sank.
Rumbling!!!
Dark lightnings inexplicably fell from the sky one by one, tearing through the surrounding void.
"This is… what?"
The audience were horrified and fell back from their seats; even Nalan Jia and Mu Chen stood up from their seats and exclaimed,
"Void is torn open… He is Dou Venerate."
Everyone glanced in the direction of Shen Yi with horrified gazes.
Shen Yi didn't care about them; he just walked forward toward the frozen guardian Jia. He stepped on the void; the void below his feet cracked in the shape of scattering lightning.
Crack! Crack!! Crack!!
Each step spread the cracks even more. Guardian Jia's heart sank more and more as if death were coming toward him, but he felt helpless in front of such power. His face was pale and ashen as if blood had been dried away from his veins.
"Grandpa…" Princess Yue'er and Yao Ye both exclaimed with pale and worried expressions after seeing Shen Yi appear in front of their grandfather without any dough wings.
Immediately, Hai Bidong and Fa Ma flew out from the main podium, appeared in front of Shen Yi, and saluted.
"Please, Venerable Shen, show mercy. He didn't intend to harm you from the previous attack; it was just a test."
Fa Ma hurriedly interjected and asked for forgiveness on behalf of the guardian.
"Venerable, you are also a citizen of the Jia Ma Empire, and he has been guarding the empire for the past hundred years; please show mercy."
Hai Bidong also spoke solemnly with a salute and bow.
Shen Yi raised his brow, looking at them, and then he turned around and glanced at his father below.
Immediately Shen Han nodded and took a deep breath and said hesitatingly,
"Yi'er, he didn't mean that… The chairman, Fa, is right. He just wanted to test you."
Shen Yi sighed and shook his head, looking at the frozen figure of Guardian Jia in front of him. He is fixed in place by his void skill ability that every dou venerate possesses, let alone a dou emperor. Even a dou zong-level expert won't be able to budge an inch with his nine-star peak dou venerate-level void lock.
"It seems the citizens of the Jia Ma empire love their guardians, but you should believe in the younger generation more instead of testing them at every turn… Some of them may even surpass you in no time, like me."
Shen Yi reminded them, and the figure of Guardian Jia was loosened; everyone sighed in relief, including the Jia guardian.
