Ye Xiwen wore a faintly smiling expression, clearly teasing him. Yet this purple-haired middle-aged man was far more calculating than anyone had imagined. Without changing his expression, he merely said, "Naturally. Fellow Daoist, you bought the Yimu Azure Dragon for the price of an Emperor Lord Dao Artifact. Isn't that already taking a tremendous advantage? What's more, you killed him and seized the Yimu Azure Dragon. Doesn't that break the rules?"
He simply pretended not to hear the faint mockery in Ye Xiwen's words.
Only then did the many powerful onlookers understand why this situation had arisen. So it involved the Yimu Azure Dragon. Quite a few people present knew of and were familiar with the Yimu Azure Dragon, and naturally understood what it was.
Before Ye Xiwen had come down, they had already known that the purple-haired middle-aged man's target was Ye Xiwen. He had not hidden it, but none of them knew why he was targeting Ye Xiwen.
Many people looked at Ye Xiwen with greed flickering in their eyes.
Although they knew Ye Xiwen was likely not someone to be trifled with, that was the Yimu Azure Dragon—not some ordinary treasure. Even an Yimu Azure Dragon that had not ascended into a dragon could allow an ordinary Emperor Lord to cross another stage without much difficulty after consuming it.
In particular, several Heavenly Venerables and Emperor Lord experts from the Qingmu Era were present, their eyes brimming with greed. Their justification was far more sufficient as well. The Yimu Azure Dragon was a treasure nurtured by their era, so they naturally had the right to demand it back. As for who it would belong to after it was returned, did that even need to be said?
"Breaking the rules? Hahahaha, what rules? How ridiculous!" Ye Xiwen laughed
