As soon as he finished speaking, an old man dressed in a white robe slowly walked down the cliff above the canyon.
His hair and beard were all white, his face was kind, and he emanated a faint golden light. Behind him, a pair of pure white wings faintly appeared. Although there were only two wings, they exuded a sacred and powerful aura.
When Yue Guan, Gui Mei, Snake Spear Douluo, and Qian Renxue saw the old man's face clearly, everyone was stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.
"Lord Yutian? What are you doing here?"
Yue Guan gasped in shock, his voice filled with astonishment and awe.
That's right, the newcomer is none other than Yu Tian, the patriarch of the Twin-Winged Angel lineage among the Angel and Angel lineages of Wuhun City!
Yu Tian, a level 98 power-attack type titled Douluo, does not hold any position in the Spirit Hall, but with the special nature of his Twin-Winged Angel Spirit and his powerful level 98 strength, he has extremely high prestige in Spirit City. Even Bibi Dong, who hates angels, does not dare to boss Yu Tian around before she has fully inherited the Rakshasa God position.
When Qian Renxue saw Yu Tian inside the carriage, her heart was filled with shock and disbelief—she never expected that Yu Tian would suddenly appear here.
The Twin-Winged Angels have always been aloof from worldly affairs and rarely concern themselves with the Spirit Hall. Yu Tian, in particular, has been in seclusion for many years. Why would he suddenly appear in this canyon today and even stop Yue Guan?
Yu Tian slowly landed in the center of the canyon, his gaze calmly sweeping over everyone present, finally settling on Yue Guan, his tone tinged with displeasure:
"Yue Guan, as a Title Douluo of the Spirit Hall, how dare you attack a group of young students in broad daylight? Aren't you afraid of damaging the Spirit Hall's reputation?"
Yue Guan quickly suppressed the murderous intent on his face, bowed respectfully to Yu Tian, and spoke with a hint of resentment:
"Lord Yutian, we are acting on the orders of His Holiness the Pope. Xue Tianxing and Tang San are a threat to the Spirit Hall; we must eliminate them!"
"On the orders of His Holiness the Pope?"
Yu Tian frowned slightly, his eyes sharpening, and then continued:
"Even if it's the Pope's order, you can't kill innocent people indiscriminately. These students are here to participate in the Continental Soul Master Competition; they represent the hopes of their respective academies. How can you just kill them like that?"
He paused, then continued:
"Moreover, Xue Tianxing is an exceptionally talented child, possessing an ultimate ice-attribute martial soul. He's a rare genius. If you kill him, wouldn't the continent lose a future powerhouse?"
Yue Guan wanted to argue, but Yu Tian raised his hand to interrupt her:
"Alright, I'm taking charge of this matter. Today, no one is allowed to harm these children. If you dare to lay a hand on them again, don't blame me for disrespecting His Majesty the Pope."
Although Yu Tian's words were calm, they carried an undeniable air of authority.
The pressure of a level 98 Title Douluo was slowly released, instantly enveloping the entire canyon.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei felt the oppressive aura, and their faces turned pale—although they were titled Douluo, the gap between them and Yu Tian, who was at level ninety-eight, was too great, and they were no match for him at all.
Ghostly figure stared at Yu Tian, secretly plotting in his mind:
Yu Tian has a special identity and great strength. If we forcefully confront him, we will not only fail to kill Xue Tianxing and Tang San, but we may also anger him. In that case, we and Yue Guan will be in deep trouble.
Perhaps we should take a step back and report to His Holiness the Pope before making any further plans.
Thinking of this, Gui Mei tugged at Yue Guan's sleeve and shook her head at him.
Yue Guan understood, and although unwilling, he still bowed to Yu Tian and said:
"Since Lord Yutian has spoken, we naturally dare not disobey. We will leave now."
After saying that, Ghostly Demon released the "Bipolar Stillness Domain," turned around with Yue Guan, and flew out of the canyon.
Before leaving, Yue Guan glanced back at Xue Tianxing, his eyes filled with murderous intent—he would remember this grudge and one day he would seek revenge on Xue Tianxing.
With the departure of Yue Guan and Gui Mei, the tense atmosphere in the canyon finally eased.
Liu Tianfeng, Dugu Bo, and the Serpent Spear Douluo regained their mobility and walked up to Yu Tian, bowing respectfully.
"Thank you so much for your help, Lord Yutian!"
Yu Tian waved his hand and said with a smile:
"No need to thank me. I just happened to be passing by and saw someone bullying a young person, so I couldn't help but step in."
He turned to look at Xue Tianxing, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes:
"You must be Xue Tianxing? Reaching the Soul Emperor level at fifteen and possessing an ultimate ice-attribute martial soul, you're truly a promising talent. Keep up the good work, your future achievements are limitless."
Xue Tianxing quickly bowed to Yu Tian:
"Thank you for your praise, Lord Yutian. I will certainly live up to your expectations."
Just then, Qian Renxue stepped out of the carriage, bowed respectfully to Yu Tian, and spoke in a deferential tone:
"Thank you for your help, Lord Yutian. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
Yu Tian looked at Qian Renxue, a complex light flashing in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, only nodded:
"Your Highness Xue Qinghe, there's no need for such formalities. It's not safe here; you should leave as soon as possible and head to Wuhun City."
After speaking, Yu Tian turned around, and the phantom image of the two wings behind him flashed. His figure instantly disappeared above the canyon, as if he had never appeared at all.
Looking in the direction where Yu Tian disappeared, everyone was filled with doubt—why did Yu Tian suddenly appear here?
Was he really just "passing by"?
Watching Yu Tian's figure disappear above the canyon, Xue Tianxing couldn't help but smile, his eyes full of understanding.
Everyone around him was puzzled by Yu Tian's sudden appearance, but he knew in his heart that Yu Tian's arrival was by no means accidental.
The moment Yu Tian appeared, Xue Tianxing sensed a familiar aura emanating from him, an aura subtly similar to that of his mother, Yu Ningxin.
Then, recalling what her mother had mentioned—that her father was the head of the Two-Winged Angel lineage named Yu Tian—Xue Tianxing knew the answer:
The man standing before me, Yu Tian, is none other than my maternal grandfather!
"No wonder he suddenly came to my rescue; it turns out my grandfather had been watching me all along."
Xue Tianxing felt a warmth in his heart.
The grandfather, who had only appeared in his mother's words before, was now standing in front of him, watching over him and even stepping forward in times of crisis. He felt an indescribable surge of emotion.
The tense atmosphere in the canyon gradually dissipated, and the carriages from various academies started moving again, slowly driving away from this canyon filled with danger.
The wheels rolled on, continuing towards Wuhun City. The atmosphere inside the carriage gradually returned to its usual relaxed state, but the lingering fear of the battle from just now still remained in everyone's hearts.
