Chapter 1589 1592: Ultimately, the Fallen Leaf Returns to Its Roots
We must know that Song Jianye is also a formidable expert at the Great Perfection of Late Stage Grandmaster level!
Although he hasn't made it onto the Heavenly List, part of the reason is that he seldom takes action. If it truly comes to a fight, he may not be weaker than Fein.
Yet now, facing the strength of this strong figure before him, he directly feels a sense of defeat!
This is extremely terrifying.
This indicates that the strength of this powerhouse before him far surpasses him!
Xu Hao looked indifferently at the red-robed elder, saying, "A Half Supreme Master with one foot into the half-step Martial Sovereign realm? Or perhaps a powerhouse infinitely close to a half-step Martial Sovereign?"
Though it sounds a bit awkward, the strength of this red-robed elder is indeed just so; he is a powerhouse on the same level as Camus!
When one's strength reaches a certain height, making further progress requires tremendous effort. Advancing further from a hundred-foot pole is just like this.
It is extremely, extremely difficult.
However, with each bit of progress, significant changes occur.
This is the reason why even when strength reaches the Great Perfection of Peak Late Stage Grandmaster level, different experts still have a considerable strength gap.
The red-robed elder glanced at Song Jianye and the others, finally resting his gaze on Xu Hao's face, smiling slightly, "Not bad! It seems you are also someone at this level, otherwise, you wouldn't sense it so clearly. I didn't expect you, Xu Hao, barely twenty or so, to have such great skill. Truly, as the saying goes, 'a hero emerges young!'"
"Who are you?" Xu Hao discreetly protected Qin Yao behind him.
"Hahaha! You don't need to worry, I bear you no ill will, at least not for now; I'm merely passing by. I didn't expect you to notice me. I suspect you let the Niu family go because you were wary of me, right? But you've misunderstood; I have no intention of sheltering the Niu family.
However, you cannot completely destroy the Niu family right now, and their Golden Horn cannot be taken. Back then, those who attacked only killed the Niu Family Patriarch at the time, didn't they? The cause and effect involved here are vast, not something you can move with your force alone," the red-robed elder said with a faint smile.
Xu Hao immediately grew intrigued, "Who are you really? Why are you telling me these things?"
The red-robed elder laughed heartily, saying, "Xu Hao, no need to dwell on my identity. When the time is ripe, we shall meet again. But perhaps by then, we may become adversaries! Yet if you manage to subdue my descendants and make them submit completely, I would become your ally. It all depends on you!"
Having said this, the red-robed elder left directly.
Xu Hao did not stop him.
This elder is clearly a member of a powerful family and one of the most influential, but which family's powerhouse is he exactly?
Reaching such a realm in Qinggong as Leaving No Trace on Snow is not something an ordinary powerhouse can achieve, perhaps some half-step Martial Sovereigns can't even reach it!
Yet the red-robed elder before him has achieved it!
The Moon Goddess Successor murmured, "I understand why you let the Niu family and others go now. With such a powerhouse lurking nearby, it is indeed prudent to be cautious, this isn't Australia, and you know I can't withstand this guy's strength, and perhaps before you manage to deal with the Niu family members, I would already be defeated by him."
Song Jianye and the others were instantly shocked.
Xu Hao wanted to eliminate the Niu family members, which would take at least over three minutes?
Yet this young woman claimed she could last three minutes before being defeated by the red-robed elder!
She must at least possess the Great Perfection of Peak Late Stage Grandmaster level strength!
And she is even stronger than Xu Hao himself, at the Great Perfection of Peak Late Stage Grandmaster level!
Who is she really?
Song Jianye and the others were filled with doubt.
"Indeed, you are too weak," Xu Hao mocked, swiftly dodging a slap from the Moon Goddess Successor, and said, "Let's go, take Old Master Song and the others home."
Song Jianye sighed slightly, saying, "Actually, I don't really want to go back. If Tianyou and the others want to leave, they'll probably take everything with them. When we return, it's just going to be..."
He thought for a moment and said, "Oh well, let's go back. After all, leaves must return to their roots."
The great upheavals of the past few days made this elder appear somewhat withered, seemingly adding a few years to his age.
Such a thing should not happen to a powerhouse at his level.
In front of the Song family gate.
Standing here once more, Song Jianye was filled with sorrow.
He touched the pillar of the gate, not realizing it had been damaged, and murmured, "The Song family in Zhongzhou is not considered a very strong family, merely at the bottom of the Twelve Families, but it has been passed down for a thousand years!
Yet now, these unfilial children have abandoned the legacy left by their ancestors and went to develop along the coast on their own. It seems good, but there, it's like duckweed without roots! Can they develop well? Will they be ostracized? Will Camus plot against them?"
