The old woman couldn't help but think that if Zhou Yan were to make a move, she would absolutely be unable to resist him.
Not only the old woman, but all the powerful figures present, including the middle-aged man, had their faces turn pale with fright.
"Who... who exactly is this person! How can they possess such immense power!"
"This is bad, this person must be a supreme expert, let's run!"
"Yes! Run, flee!"
The numerous powerful figures present were all in a panic.
They knew that they were no match for this mysterious young man. He was like a god of death, capable of slaughtering them all with a single thought.
Seeing their terrified expressions, Zhou Yan chuckled coldly and said, "It's too late to run now. I don't think you have a chance to escape."
As he spoke, Zhou Yan's palm suddenly clenched, and a terrifying suction force condensed in the void, enveloping the ancient city.
"Rumble!"
Zhou Yan's power was extremely terrifying. The ancient city was also greatly affected. Under the impact of this force, the entire ancient city instantly collapsed.
Huge cracks spread through the void like a spiderweb, soon covering the entire ancient city.
"Rumble!"
The collapse of the entire ancient city caused a violent tremor, and endless dust billowed, obscuring the entire city.
Under this cloud of dust, Zhou Yan's figure also disappeared without a trace.
......
At the same time, in another corner of the ancient city, an old man in gray clothes, bearing blood-red skull patterns, also opened his eyes.
A dense aura of malevolence flickered in his cloudy eyes.
"Damn it, someone else has broken in again!"
"But this person who broke in this time is so young and so powerful. It's truly bizarre!"
The gray-robed old man's face was extremely grim.
"No, I must investigate thoroughly. Who is it that has managed to enter our lair twice in such a short span of days? If I hadn't discovered it quickly, the entire ancient city might have been completely destroyed!"
"It's a pity that I'm severely injured right now, otherwise, I could have fought him to the death!"
The gray-robed old man's face was filled with anger, but in the end, he still sighed.
......
At the same time.
Inside the pavilion where Zhou Yan had first entered the ancient city.
Within the pavilion, there was only a wooden table.
Beside the table was a tea set. The teapot and cups were still emitting a faint heat.
Zhou Yan sat opposite the tea table, his eyes calmly observing the other person.
Although the old woman's cultivation was not weak, she was old and severely injured, so she had no chance of escaping Zhou Yan's grasp, let alone fleeing.
With a step, Zhou Yan appeared before the old woman and pressed her into the stone chair.
"Speak, who exactly are you?" Zhou Yan asked sternly, staring at the old woman.
"Who I am is not important. What's important is that I won't tell you who I am," the old woman shook her head.
Zhou Yan sneered, extended his right hand, and spread his fingers. A powerful suction force immediately wreaked havoc within the old woman's body, causing her to tremble.
The pain on the old woman's face intensified, her facial muscles contorted, as if she were enduring endless agony.
Her teeth began to chatter.
"Your body is about to break down."
Zhou Yan looked at the old woman indifferently and said.
Upon hearing this, the old woman was stunned. Then, a hint of horror appeared in her eyes, because she found that her body was indeed on the verge of shattering, and the pain seemed several times more severe than her existing injuries.
"You... who exactly are you?" the old woman gritted out.
"Who I am is not important to you. What's important is, I want to know which sect you belong to?"
Zhou Yan looked at the old woman indifferently and said.
Hearing this, the old woman frowned, clearly unwilling to reveal her identity.
"I don't know!"
"Since you're unwilling to speak, you'll have to stay here and have tea with me."
As Zhou Yan's words fell, he prepared to walk towards the old woman.
Seeing this, the old woman's face suddenly changed, and she quickly shouted, "Stop!"
"Oh?" Zhou Yan stopped and turned his head, looking at the old woman with interest.
"I can tell you which sect I belong to and let you leave here, but you must guarantee that you won't trouble me in the future."
"Oh?" Zhou Yan was slightly taken aback, then sneered, "What makes you think I'll believe you? Why should I agree to your terms?"
"Because... because... because you are the Demon Lord!"
A look of terror appeared on the old woman's face as she said, "In front of my master, although your strength is formidable, you are still no match for my master."
"Demon Lord?"
Zhou Yan's eyes narrowed, and then he said with a cold laugh, "Even if I am the Demon Lord, so what? I'm not someone who enjoys killing."
"So, don't worry, I won't deal with you."
"With that said, can you tell me what you know now?"
Zhou Yan finished speaking and sat back down on the stool, crossing his legs.
"Your name is Zhou Yan?" the old woman hesitated for a moment, then said.
"Yes."
"You are from the Eastern Domain, meaning you lived in the Eastern Domain for a period of time, correct?"
"Yes," Zhou Yan nodded.
Upon hearing this, the old woman's expression turned grim.
She never imagined that the other party was from the Eastern Domain.
The Eastern Domain was one of the three great imperial clans, its power even surpassing that of the four great imperial clans of the Holy Domain.
In the eyes of those imperial clans, the entire Eastern Domain belonged to them. Therefore, in their eyes, a mere Eastern Domain was as insignificant as an ant.
Of course, this was only in their eyes.
After all, the area of the Eastern Domain was much larger than the Holy Domain.
"What is your origin?" Zhou Yan asked.
"I am from the Saint Realm."
"Saint Realm?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan couldn't help but frown.
How had he never heard of the Saint Realm, and that there was a place called the Saint Realm within it?
Could it be that this place was a world similar to the one they were in?
"You are from the Saint Realm, and where did you come from?" Zhou Yan continued to press.
"Heh, I naturally have my reasons for all of this. You only need to know that I am from the Saint Realm." the old woman said indifferently.
"I advise you to honestly tell me everything you know."
