However, when almost everyone else was kneeling, there were still two figures standing there dumbfounded, as if their souls had flown away.
They were precisely Shen Mengli and Shen Menghan!
Obviously, Venerable Yue Yi saw that they were still standing there and couldn’t help but say in a low voice, "You two, why don’t you quickly greet the Emperor?"
"The two of them don’t need to."
Su Han looked at the two of them, a slight smile curving at the corner of his mouth.
He hadn’t expected to encounter these sisters who had once made him laugh and cry right here.
Back when the Extraterritorial Demons erupted, even the Phoenix Sect was like a clay god crossing a river, unable to protect itself, let alone protect others.
Su Han had once sighed, thinking that Shen Mengli and Shen Menghan were already dead.
After all, even a Heavenly Emperor Realm couldn’t survive, let alone the two of them.
Unexpectedly, they managed to persist until now.
Perhaps it’s indeed a kind of luck...
Looking at Shen Menghan, an image of that exquisite and translucent white body floated into Su Han’s mind.
Even he couldn’t help but blush slightly with embarrassment.
Honestly, he felt nothing for Shen Menghan; the blush was only human nature, nothing else.
Looking back, Shen Menghan had once been so furious that she wanted to kill Su Han.
Su Han himself was fed up with her repeated confrontations, and he almost lost his temper.
Now, thinking about it all, it all seems like past clouds and smoke, passing with a laugh.
While Su Han was lost in thought, Venerable Yue Yi’s voice came through again.
"Pardon them, Emperor. They might be young and ignorant, perhaps shocked, which is why they act this way. I hope you won’t mind, Lord Emperor."
Hearing this, Su Han glanced at Venerable Yue Yi.
He hadn’t expected that even in such a situation, Yue Yi would still speak for Shen Mengli and Shen Menghan, especially since there wasn’t much of a relationship between them.
The previous scenes had actually been observed by Su Han as well.
From the moment Zhanh Hai drove them out, Su Han had already come to know.
Admittedly, Venerable Yue Yi was indeed a person of integrity.
"It doesn’t matter."
Su Han smiled and said, "The two of them really don’t need to kneel to me."
Venerable Yue Yi was stunned.
He didn’t understand what Su Han meant by those words.
What did he mean by saying they really didn’t need to kneel to him?
The might of the Heavenly Emperor is inviolable; all cultivators below the Heavenly Emperor Realm must kneel immediately upon seeing him—surely that was expected?
Could it be... they knew each other before???
With this thought in mind, Venerable Yue Yi couldn’t help but shake his head silently.
If they had indeed known a figure of the Heavenly Emperor Realm, how could Shen Mengli and Shen Menghan have fallen to such a state?
Though filled with suspicion, he dared not ask.
Yet his son, in his ignorance, suddenly raised his head and asked, "May I ask, which sect’s Emperor are you?"
Upon hearing this, Venerable Yue Yi’s expression changed drastically, and he immediately rebuked, "Insolent! Is it your place to ask where the Lord Emperor comes from? Quickly apologize to the Lord Emperor!"
"I just want to know the identity of the Lord Emperor, so I can properly repay him for saving my life in the future..." Zhanh Hai said softly.
"It’s okay, if he wants to know, then I’ll let him know."
Su Han squinted, staring at Zhanh Hai for a long time before saying:
"I am the one you’ve spoken of so derisively, as if I were nothing but rubbish or a mere ant, who was supposedly already killed by the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects, or perhaps annihilated by the Extraterritorial Demons... Su Ba Liu!"
Su Han enunciated the last three words one by one.
And after he had spoken, everyone’s heads shot up, eyes filled with intense disbelief!
"Su... Su Ba... Liu?"
Zhanh Hai stared blankly at Su Han, stammering with each word.
Venerable Yue Yi’s complexion changed dramatically!
He had once been a dominator, indifferent to worldly matters. Although Su Han’s reputation wasn’t small, he had never seen him, not even interested in his portrait.
So he did not recognize Su Han.
But now, hearing Su Han’s response, Yue Yi instantly understood why Su Han had said that Shen Mengli and Shen Menghan didn’t need to kneel.
"Su Han? Phoenix Sect Leader???"
"How could it possibly be him..."
"How could it be in such a short time that he reached the Heavenly Emperor Realm? A hundred years? Several hundred years?"
"Not to mention he was just a Divine Sea Realm, even if he were in the Fusion Realm or Dao Sovereign Realm, it wouldn’t be possible to reach the Heavenly Emperor Realm in such a short time!!!"
"But if it’s not him, why would Shen Mengli and Shen Menghan be stunned, why would they have such expressions... why would he not let them kneel!!!"
With endless questions in his heart, there was no one but Su Han who could give him the answers!
Moreover, being a shrewd man, Venerable Yue Yi would absolutely not ask!
"Bang!"
He suddenly kneeled on both knees in the starry sky, trembling, "Spare my life, Lord Emperor, spare my life!!!"
"It was my poor management that led my son to be so ignorant, I beg the Lord Emperor to be generous, considering... considering... he’s still young, please forgive him this once!"
"Enough!"
Su Han furrowed his brow, waved his hand, and lifted Venerable Yue Yi to his feet.
"A Dao Sovereign Realm Peak Super Powerhouse behaving like this—what a disgrace!"
"But..."
Venerable Yue Yi looked towards Zhanh Hai, wanting to speak but not knowing how.
And over there, Zhanh Hai was already trembling all over, his face full of fear.
He could never have imagined that the person he always disregarded, viewed as a waste, rubbish, an ant, would today, descend like a celestial god and save them.
The most crucial part is...
All the things he had said earlier had been overheard by him!!!
"Your son’s foolishness is indeed due to your poor teaching; you must acknowledge this."
Su Han looked at Venerable Yue Yi and said, "However, considering you saved Shen Mengli and Shen Menghan, I won’t hold this against you."
"But in the future, you better manage his mouth well, always remember, illness comes from the mouth, trouble comes from the tongue!"
How could Su Han possibly haggle with someone like Zhanh Hai?
Of course, this was indeed thanks to Venerable Yue Yi.
Earlier, Su Han had seen with his own eyes how Venerable Yue Yi was willing to risk his life to save Zhanh Hai.
Such fatherly love was something Su Han respected.
For he was also a father.
"Thank you, Lord Emperor, thank you, Lord Emperor..."
Tears welled up in Venerable Yue Yi’s eyes, his face full of gratitude.
He was genuinely fortunate to have rescued Shen Mengli and Shen Menghan from the Group of Extraterritorial Demons.
The original intent was, if given the chance, to let them escape and find Su Han; if the latter were alive, he could extend his protection to Zhanh Hai.
Who would have thought, it turned out to be a twist of fate, saving his own son.
