Yang Muqian swept Ye Kaishan with a disdainful gaze and said coldly, "The one he offended was not me."
"But His Highness!"
At those words, everyone present looked utterly bewildered.
His Highness? What Highness?
Ye Wanrou's speech was sealed at the moment, and her body kept swaying as she struggled to break free from her restraints.
She was frantic with anxiety. If her Lineage was implicated because of her, then she would never be able to forgive herself.
Chu Yun knew that it was time for him to make his entrance.
Escorted by Luo Feng and Xuan Feng, he slowly stepped forward into the sky.
Ye Wanrou was also brought over by that shadow guard.
"Undo the seal on her mouth. Let her speak," Chu Yun said as he looked at the shadow guard.
"Yes, Your Highness."
The restriction on Ye Wanrou's mouth was undone. She immediately looked nervously at Chu Yun with both eyes. "Chu Yun, what exactly do you want?"
"My clansmen have not offended you. You cannot hurt them!"
Chu Yun gave a cold smile. "Ye Wanrou, I told you, I gave you a chance to choose."
"These two are your parents."
"Now, choose one of them to die."
"The other one will live."
Ye Wanrou shook her head in terror and cried out desperately, "No! I won't choose!"
"Chu Yun, whatever you want to do, do it to me. Humiliate me if you want, make me do anything—I'll do it!"
"I beg you! I beg you not to implicate my clansmen!"
Hearing his daughter's desperate pleas, Ye Zhengxian felt as though his heart were being twisted by knives, his face filled with grief.
He had roughly guessed that this Chu Yun must have an extraordinary background.
Otherwise, the Seventh Elder of the Wangxian Dao Sect could not possibly have personally stepped forward for him.
"Ye Zhengxian, if you agree now, I can still save your daughter and help you settle everything before you."
At that moment, the voice transmission of the man called Lu Yue rang in Ye Zhengxian's ears.
Ye Zhengxian struggled for a while before decisively making his choice. "Fine! Lord Lu Yue, as long as you act, I agree to the Young Master's conditions!"
Lu Yue smiled in satisfaction. "Good."
At that moment, Lu Yue stepped out from the Ye Family camp. "Elder Yang, I'm afraid you cannot touch Ye Wanrou or the Ye Family."
Lu Yue's words immediately drew everyone's attention toward him.
Yang Muqian stared at him with an unfriendly expression. "Peak Shattering Realm? Who are you?"
"Who I am is not important."
"My cultivation is indeed inferior to yours, but Ye Wanrou is a concubine my Young Master intends to take."
"Therefore, regardless of this young master's background or identity, no one may touch Ye Wanrou or the Ye Family."
Lu Yue's tone brimmed with confidence and assurance.
It was as if he did not take the Wangxian Dao Sect or Chu Yun seriously at all.
Asura Venerable stood in the rear. After glancing at Lu Yue and observing the aura of the cultivation technique he practiced, he had already roughly guessed his origins.
"Hm?"
Lu Yue, meanwhile, suddenly felt a chill run through his entire body from Asura Venerable's glance, and a prickling unease rose in his heart.
"Strange. Why do I feel like this?"
He merely found it strange and did not take it too seriously.
Seeing Lu Yue act so arrogantly, daring to boast before Yang Muqian as a mere peak Shattering Realm cultivator, Chu Yun revealed an intrigued expression. "Is that so?"
"Then what if I insist on touching them today?"
"What can you do to me?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yue's expression gradually turned cold and stern. "If you touch them, you will be declaring war on my Young Master."
"You will also be cutting off your own path to survival!"
A fierce glint flashed through Luo Feng's eyes. "Insolence!"
"A mere Shattering Realm cultivator dares threaten His Highness!"
Luo Feng showed no mercy. A force of Nirvana descended, transforming into a mountain of a hundred thousand feet that pressed down upon Lu Yue.
Lu Yue was crushed until he could not even raise his head. Before Luo Feng, he had no power to resist whatsoever.
"A Nirvana Realm expert!"
"You truly are not afraid of death, are you?"
"If you touch me, none of you will live!"
A flash of blood light flickered deep within Lu Yue's eyes, and a hidden seal within his soul shattered.
Majestic blood energy suddenly surged forth, transforming into enormous blood clouds above the Ye Family. Blood Mist drifted through the air, while countless strands of blood energy, like needles and threads, traced out a colossal Blood Mist phantom in the bloody sky, towering shoulder to shoulder with mountains—grand and earthshaking.
"A... Battle Venerable Body!"
"No!"
"This is only a strand of Battle Venerable Body consciousness. It does not possess the Battle Venerable Body's complete supreme combat strength!"
"But even so, it is still a Venerable!"
"There is actually a Venerable-level figure behind this man!"
"Who exactly is he?!"
As they looked at the Battle Venerable Body consciousness shrouded in endless blood energy above the Ye Family, countless people in Jubei City gasped in amazement, most of their faces filled with shock.
Which Venerable was this?!
"A mere Nirvana Realm cultivator dares bully someone from my Blood God Sect!"
"You are utterly insolent!"
Although it was only a strand of Battle Venerable Body consciousness, the power of the Venerable Realm still crushed everything across an absolute gulf. Even if countless Nirvana Realm cultivators joined forces, they would still be no match.
A furious shout carrying the heavenly might of a Venerable shook the heavens, directly sending Luo Feng flying.
At the crucial moment, Asura Venerable appeared behind Luo Feng and caught him with one hand, preventing him from being injured.
"Many thanks, Venerable," Luo Feng immediately said.
Asura Venerable nodded, then slowly walked toward that Battle Venerable Body. "It seems this ant is your servant."
"As for the Young Master he spoke of, I presume that is your lecherous son."
"Heh... Blood Profound, they say that the longer one lives, the lower one's spirit becomes. After all these years, why are you still such trash?"
"You only know how to bully the weak with strength? Showing off before juniors is useless. If you want to fight, I'll play with you."
Asura Venerable's tone was filled with contempt and mockery.
Both were Venerable-level figures, yet Asura Venerable merely standing there—his aura and the heavenly might of a Venerable emanating from him—completely overwhelmed the other.
"Shu... Shura!"
"Why are you here?"
The Battle Venerable Body consciousness's expression changed slightly. Clearly, it had not expected to encounter Asura Venerable here.
"Asura Venerable!!"
"It is actually Asura Venerable of the Shi Family!!"
"What is happening today? What exactly did the Ye Family do to bring Asura Venerable here in person?!"
The many onlookers were even more stunned, deeply shaken by the scene before their eyes.
"Where my true body is has fuck all to do with you."
"There is no fun in destroying one of your consciousness bodies. How about this—bring your true body here."
"We'll have a fight to the death. What do you say?"
Asura Venerable showed no courtesy whatsoever, speaking freely to that strand of Battle Venerable Body consciousness before countless living beings of Jubei City.
The Battle Venerable Body consciousness's face immediately became exceedingly unsightly.
Naturally, he could not possibly bring his true body to Qingzhou to fight Asura Venerable.
Though they were both in the Venerable Realm, Asura Venerable's combat strength far exceeded his.
There was no need for him to humiliate himself.
"Shura, there is no need to take today's matter to the point of life and death, is there?"
"Lu Yue, what is going on? Explain everything clearly to this true body," the Battle Venerable Body demanded as he looked at Lu Yue.
Lu Yue's face was filled with horror. Once he recovered, he immediately told him everything.
When he learned that it had all started because his son had been overcome by lust, the Venerable's expression grew even uglier. "Shura, I will let Lu Yue leave. Do as you please with this matter. This true body will not interfere."
Before Asura Venerable could agree, Chu Yun spoke first. "Wait!"
"He thinks he can come whenever he wants and leave whenever he wants, without leaving anything behind."
"Isn't that far too disrespectful toward this Prince?"
Chu Yun faced that Battle Venerable Body head-on.
Even though it was a Venerable, Chu Yun was not afraid with his uncle backing him at his side!
"Hiss..."
"He is directly confronting Blood Profound Venerable!"
"Who exactly is this person?!"
"He is so young, yet far too arrogant, isn't he?!"
