50 -49: The Return of the Supreme Elder

“Kneel before me!”

Wang Shiqi took direct action against Ye Xuan!

A terrifying suction force attacked Ye Xuan, almost instantly shaking him to his knees!

Boom————

But just then, Zhou Youwei, who had been sitting beside Ye Xuan without speaking, made her move.

The sun and the moon rose together, Mystic Ice and Fierce Sun, two extreme powers merged into one and transformed into a palm strike, blasting towards Wang Shiqi.

Wang Shiqi’s expression slightly changed, and he thrust out a palm in response.

Bang Ka————

Their palms clashed, and an earth-shattering noise erupted immediately.

Thud thud thud————

Then, Wang Shiqi was forced to retreat several steps, his complexion somewhat pale.

On the other hand, Zhou Youwei remained seated beside Ye Xuan, calm and unaffected.

This caused Wang Shiqi’s expression to shift uncontrollably before finally showing a hint of a smile, “The Holy Daughter of the Emperor Immortal Sect truly lives up to her reputation as the number one pride of Lie Tian Heavenly Country, indeed extraordinary.”

“This is the Emperor Immortal Sect, General Wang is requested to conduct himself with dignity,” Jiang Jing said with an ugly expression, chiding sternly.

Wang Shiqi’s sudden move was a clear display of disrespect, taking them lightly!

“Who dares to cause trouble in my Emperor Immortal Sect?”

Zhou Youwei and Wang Shiqi’s clash had drawn the attention of others from the Emperor Immortal Sect.

In a flash, Wu Jingshan, Qiu Wenhan, and Lu Chengde appeared out of nowhere, their gazes unfriendly as they stared at Wang Shiqi.

Wang Shiqi narrowed his eyes slightly, watching the three of them with caution.

Ye Xuan slowly rose from his seat and looked at Wang Shiqi, speaking lightly, “Today, I shall teach you a lesson on behalf of Wang Yanglong, lest you continue to be unaware of the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth, embarrassing him.”

“You…” Wang Shiqi flew into a rage, but before he could express his fury, a terrifying force enveloped him, swiftly drawing into his Divine Soul.

Wang Shiqi felt darkness before his eyes and then lost consciousness.

With a thud, Wang Shiqi fell to the ground.

“Hm?”

Everyone within the hall was startled, confused by the turn of events.

How could he suddenly fall like this?

They couldn’t help but look towards Ye Xuan.

It couldn’t be…

Did the son-in-law do this?

Ye Xuan glanced at Wang Shiqi and said calmly, “Throw this fellow out.”

“Tell the people from Lie Tian Heavenly Country, at the third quarter of the noon hour, the execution will proceed as planned, and if there are any objections, they are welcome to try and stop it.”

As instructed, Lu Chengde lifted Wang Shiqi and flew away, arriving at the mountain gate of the Emperor Immortal Sect, and threw Wang Shiqi out of the sect like discarding a dead dog.

The people from Lie Tian Heavenly Country who had been waiting outside the Emperor Immortal Sect were shocked at this scene.

“General!”

They caught Wang Shiqi and saw that he had fainted, completely unconscious; they were instantly enraged, “What does this mean from Emperor Immortal Sect, are you declaring war on Lie Tian Heavenly Country?”

Lu Chengde glanced at them indifferently and said blandly, “My son-in-law has spoken, at the third quarter of the noon hour, the execution of the one from Luotian Sacred Land will proceed as planned.

If Lie Tian Heavenly Country has any objections, feel free to send someone to intervene.”

With that, Lu Chengde turned and left.

This immediately incensed the people from Lie Tian Heavenly Country, but since they were in front of the Emperor Immortal Sect’s mountain gate, they could only suppress their rage and leave indignantly with Wang Shiqi, determined to report the incident to their sovereign!

The scene shifts back inside the great hall.

“Ye Xuan, this act is tantamount to tearing off the mask with Lie Tian Heavenly Country as well.

They may send someone to cause us trouble,” Jiang Jing said anxiously.

Ye Xuan shook his head slightly, “If they sent Wang Shiqi here, it means they were already prepared to break off relations with our sect.”

“In the end, it’s because our sect is weak; everybody wants to step on us and treat us like dirt.”

Ye Xuan said this with a steady gaze.

Hearing his words, everyone fell silent.

Even though Ye Xuan’s words were harsh, they indeed exposed the difficult situation the Emperor Immortal Sect was facing.

In this world where the strong reign supreme, the weak are bound to suffer.

And the current Emperor Immortal Sect was exactly in the position of the weak.

So, whether it was the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, the Luotian Sacred Land, or even the Lie Tian Upper Country, all came to suppress them.

“By the way, Supreme Elder Guo Yuancheng has returned,” Qiu Wenhan suddenly mentioned.

“Really!” Jiang Jing brightened up immediately.

The Emperor Immortal Sect was very short of people; if a Supreme Elder came back to take charge, the situation would improve a lot!

“He’s already in the Emperor Great Hall, let’s go see him together,” Qiu Wenhan said.

“That’s perfect, we’ll go together,” Jiang Jing replied.

Qiu Wenhan hesitated for a moment, then added, “Don’t get too happy, the intentions of Guo Yuancheng, the Supreme Elder, are no different from those of the General of the Lie Tian Upper Country.”

“What?!” Those who were overjoyed, like Jiang Jing and others, suddenly felt as if a bucket of cold water had been dumped on them, dampening their spirits.

Qiu Wenhan sighed and explained, “In his view, making enemies with the Luotian Sacred Land is a very unwise move; he said he has returned this time to mediate the grudge between the two factions.”

“Mediate?” Ye Xuan chuckled and said, “At this point, he still thinks about mediating?

This Supreme Elder must be out of his mind.”

Everyone fell silent.

Indeed, at this point, there was no possibility of mediation, yet the Supreme Elder was thinking about it, making one wonder what was on his mind?

“Who is saying that old man is out of his mind?”

At that moment, an aged voice suddenly echoed in the hall.

In the main seat of the Emperor Great Hall, a black-robed elder suddenly appeared.

The elder had white hair and beard, and his face was full of wrinkles, looking like he was half in the grave.

Yet, from his being emanated a faint immortal aura, as if he were an old Immortal from deep within the mountains.

“Supreme Elder!”

Everyone was surprised and immediately bowed to the black-robed elder in greeting.

The person in question was none other than Guo Yuancheng, one of the three great Supreme Elders of the Emperor Immortal Sect!

Guo Yuancheng waved his sleeve with a light ‘hmm’ and cast his gaze upon Ye Xuan, speaking indifferently, “Young man, was it you who just questioned my reasoning?”

Upon hearing these words, everyone tensed, wondering if the Supreme Elder was going to make things difficult for Ye Xuan.

“Elder Guo, you’ve heard wrong; he didn’t say anything about you,” Qiu Wenhan quickly attempted to smooth things over.

“No, I was speaking about you, claiming you’ve got a problem in the head,” Ye Xuan interrupted Qiu Wenhan, looking at Guo Yuancheng calmly and saying, “Our sect and the Luotian Sacred Land have entirely severed ties, there’s no possibility of mediation, and yet you speak of mediating the grudge between the factions.

Isn’t that a sign your brain isn’t working right?”

This statement visibly altered everyone’s expressions.

This was outright insulting the Supreme Elder to his face!

But thinking it through, after all, Ye Xuan faced the three ancestors with a breeze and an unperturbed stance.

In comparison, the status of the Supreme Elder was indeed a notch below that of the ancestors.

“Ye Xuan, show some respect!” Jiang Jing quickly admonished.

Guo Yuancheng, however, looked at Ye Xuan with a smiling face and spoke leisurely, “Ultimately, where does the karmic cause between the Emperor Immortal Sect and the Luotian Sacred Land lie?

It lies in the fact that Zhao Yulong died at our sect, and if I’m not mistaken, it was you who killed him, right?”

“Elder Guo, the situation was complicated at that time, it’s not Ye Xuan’s fault,” Qiu Wenhan tried to explain on Ye Xuan’s behalf.

“I didn’t ask you,” Guo Yuancheng glanced at Qiu Wenhan dismissively.

Qiu Wenhan had no choice but to shut his mouth.

“You tell me,” Guo Yuancheng turned to Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan maintained a composed expression, smiling lightly as he answered, “Without concealing anything from you, Supreme Elder, Supreme Elder Leng Rufeng, along with the six Elders, Chief Disciple Leng Yifan, and the Luotian Sacred Land’s Saint Heir Zhao Yulong, were all killed by me.”

Upon these words, everyone’s expression drastically changed.

As expected, when they covertly glanced towards Guo Yuancheng, they noticed his expression growing increasingly unpleasant.

“A mere youth at the Divine Gate Realm dares to make such rampant claims?” Guo Yuancheng spoke steadily and slowly.

Guo Yuancheng no longer looked at Ye Xuan, instead turning his gaze to Jiang Jing, speaking gently, “Jiang Jing, as an Elder, and even the wife of the Sect Master, how can you allow such a person to make decisions for our sect?”

Jiang Jing, somewhat helpless but unable to disrespect Guo Yuancheng, bowed and said, “Ye Xuan is now the Chief Disciple of our sect and indeed possesses the right to participate in making decisions.”

“What?” Guo Yuancheng was taken aback, then looked at Ye Xuan and Jiang Jing again before slamming the table with a laugh of anger, “A mere Divine Gate Realm being worthy to become the Chief Disciple of our sect?

What on earth are you all doing?”

This outburst made everyone present feel a bit peculiar.

The Emperor Immortal Sect had faced many issues recently, almost all of which had been resolved by Ye Xuan’s actions.

Considering these merits, it would not just be the position of Chief Disciple that Ye Xuan deserved; even a place among the Elders would be absolutely warranted.

“You sure are full of bluster, old man.

I just wonder if you’re also this imposing when facing people from the Luotian Sacred Land,” Ye Xuan remarked with a shake of his head and a slight chuckle.
