Chapter 1798: Chapter 912: The Arrival of the Semi-Saint! Dominating the Scene

In his hand, he held a square seal that emitted a hazy white light and was engraved with mountain and river patterns. The ocean-like pressure emanated from this seal!

The young man’s gaze swept across the figures in the night sky who had suddenly quieted down due to his appearance. He spoke lightly, his voice not loud but clearly spreading in all directions.

"Everyone, the item stolen by Yun Gucheng, I, Tantai Mingjing, will compensate on his behalf."

He paused, his tone still calm, but carried an undeniable weight.

"I ask everyone to give me, Tantai Mingjing, some face and let this matter rest.

What do you say?"

"Tantai Mingjing?!"

"Is it him?! The youngest Semi-Saint of the Tantai Family?!"

"He actually came personally?!"

In the night sky, a suppressed exclamation and commotion arose.

Soon after, one by one, those figures originally hidden in the night’s folds or space ripples were compelled to reveal their true forms. Gu Sheng looked up and saw, apart from the young man named Tantai Mingjing, twelve figures floating in the air!

There were elderly men with white hair and a white beard, middle-aged men with sinister expressions, graceful women, and sharp-auraed youths... There were people of all ages and genders, and without exception, the aura each emitted had reached the Venerable Realm!

Among them, the aura of two individuals was like a deep abyss sea, clearly having reached the Fifth Transformation level of the Venerable!

Gu Sheng glanced at Yun Gucheng, who was struggling to get up with his breath weakened to the extreme, and then at those twelve intimidating Venerable figures in the sky, especially those two Fifth Transformation experts, and couldn’t help but speak with a tone carrying an indescribable oddity.

"Yun Gucheng, you said... you could risk your life to block for ten breaths... is it these twelve Venerables? Also including the two Fifth Transformation ones?"

Collapsed on the ground, Yun Gucheng heard this, abruptly coughed up a mouthful of blood with fragments of internal organs, wiped the blood off his lips with the back of his hand, lifted his head, gazing at those powerful figures in the sky with eyes devoid of fear but filled with nearly obsessive perseverance and resolution, he rasped out.

"Risking life... can always... make a bet!"

Tantai Mingjing’s sudden appearance, and his casual obliteration of several Venerable attacks, a single palm sending the desolate, life-burning Yun Gucheng back, and his outright statement of compensating on Yun’s behalf, made the previously murderously charged night sky suddenly quiet.

The twelve Venerable Realm experts from different forces focused their gaze on this young man with a jade-like face with varied expressions—mostly with suspicion and deep fear.

After a brief silence, the burly man with the hottest temper, who had previously clamored to personally kill Yun Gucheng, couldn’t help but speak. His voice was still loud, but it had lost some of its previous recklessness.

"Tantai Mingjing? Despite being from the Tantai Family, you cannot be so biased towards this thief, can you? He stole our Holy Fire Sect’s Supreme Treasure ’Flame Sun Heart Lamp,’ a token of our sect’s heritage, how can mere compensation suffice?"

Another old man with a sinister demeanor also chimed in darkly.

"Indeed! Our Heavenly Array Sect’s ’Ten Thousand Formation Map’ is the culmination of our ancestor’s efforts and concerns the sect’s foundation, how can it be allowed to be lost? Young Master Tantai’s mere statement of compensation is too simplistic!"

Tantai Mingjing calmly swept his gaze over the two who spoke, his gentle eyes seemingly capable of penetrating hearts. He did not anger but plainly reiterated his identity.

"My name is Tantai Mingjing."

Simply repeating his name, yet the invisible weight within his calm tone made the burly man and sinister elder catch their breath.

They could question the Tantai Family’s bias, but would not dare lightly question the words spoken by such a young Semi-Saint! Especially a semi-Saint from the deeply profound Tantai Family!

The elder, who first recognized Tantai Mingjing, and was relatively older, quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully towards Tantai Mingjing, smoothing things over as he spoke.

"So it’s Mr. Mingjing himself, my disrespect! Since Mr. Mingjing is willing to come forward with assurances, we naturally trust the credibility of the Tantai Family.

However... the loss assessment will take some time. Once we return to our sect, we will calculate in detail and send the list to the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall in Tianyuan Emperor City, what do you think, sir?"

Tantai Mingjing slightly nodded, essentially accepting this proposal.

The elder felt relieved, quickly signaled to the surrounding other Venerables. Seeing the strongest among them accepting, naturally, no one dared have further dissent, and they all restrained their auras, indicating agreement.

Tantai Mingjing spoke no more, raised his right hand, and casually snapped his fingers.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

...

Twelve light but clear sounds of space fracturing rang out! In the night sky, beside each of the twelve Venerable Realm experts, an abrupt black space fissure opened, and an immense suction emerged instantly, giving them no chance to react, swallowing all twelve figures completely!

The space fissure then closed, the night sky returning to silence as if those twelve powerful Venerables never appeared.

Below, in the small courtyard, the collapsed Yun Gucheng watched, dumbstruck, waves raging in his heart! In a snap, space shifting, sending away twelve Venerables! What sort of Divine Skills is this?! Is this the might of the Holy Realm?!

What shocked him even more was the layered Array he personally laid down to stop Venerables for a moment, yet before Tantai Mingjing, it was as if nonexistent!
