"As expected of me, I shattered the Talent Crystal Pillar directly. The difference between me and the other Heavenly Prodigies is clear."
Seeing the Talent Crystal Pillar shatter, Ye Xinran said with a confident and pleased expression.
She then looked around at the people nearby, noticing that everyone's jaws had practically dropped in shock.
"Um... Holy Master?"
Seeing Xuanyuan Chen looking stunned, Ye Xinran tentatively called out.
Her voice snapped everyone back to attention.
"Heh heh heh, I didn't expect to find three good ingredients this time, and one of them is such a prime specimen!"
Just as Xuanyuan Chen was about to speak, a hoarse and unpleasant voice echoed throughout the entire plaza.
At the same time, a man in black robes, enveloped in demonic energy, suddenly appeared above the plaza.
Upon seeing the man in black robes appear, Xuanyuan Chen and the four Elders' expressions immediately turned grim.
"What a powerful aura! This is... a Great Sage!"
Xuanyuan Chen guessed the opponent's realm, realizing he was significantly stronger than himself.
In the void.
"Hall Master, this fellow has quite the guts to actually make a move here. I thought he wouldn't dare to show himself after hiding for so long."
Seeing this, Shangguan Shi chuckled.
"Xuanyuan Chen and the others can't defeat him, so they'll have to bring out the old guy sleeping in the Forbidden Land. He was already hesitating, but seeing Xinran's talent must have made him impatient."
Ye Chang'an also sneered.
It was clear that the presence of the man in black robes had already been detected by the two of them.
However, since this fellow was practically handing himself over, Ye Chang'an didn't mind sending him off.
To target Ye Xinran? That's practically asking for death.
On the plaza, Ye Xinran's eyes narrowed as she looked at the suddenly appearing man in black robes.
She had a premonition that he was coming for her.
"Are you here to cause trouble, sir?"
Looking at the man in black robes, Xuanyuan Chen's eyes held a cold glint, and his tone was icy.
This was his territory; could he possibly back down?
"If I devour them, I can also become an Emperor, heh heh heh!"
Even now, he felt completely in control.
After speaking, he glanced at Lin Tianci and Jin Xiaoya, his eyes flashing: "Hmm? A girl from the Jin Family of the Myriad Treasures Building, someone from the Lin Family... I didn't notice them just now."
Seeing Jin Xiaoya and Lin Tianci, the man in black robes seemed to hesitate.
"Forget it, consider yourselves lucky."
Clearly, he believed he couldn't afford to offend the Myriad Treasures Building and the Lin Clan.
He then shifted his gaze back to Ye Xinran on the plaza, his eyes filled with greed.
"You don't seem to have any backing, so accept the unfairness of fate, little girl."
With that, the man in black robes was about to make a move on Ye Xinran.
Just then, Xuanyuan Chen instantly appeared between the man in black robes and Ye Xinran, and took a palm strike from the man in black robes.
A powerful spiritual energy fluctuation swept out, sending Xuanyuan Chen flying backward until he stopped in front of Ye Xinran.
However, he spat out a large mouthful of blood.
The man in black robes, on the other hand, didn't take a single step back.
Seeing this, several Elders were about to step forward to help, but due to the vast difference in power, they were directly restrained in place by the man in black robes.
The man in black robes hadn't even glanced at the Elders from beginning to end.
The man in black robes looked coldly at Xuanyuan Chen: "Is your Heavenly Extremity Sacred Land going to oppose me for a genius who hasn't fully grown yet?"
"She is someone from my Heavenly Extremity Sacred Land."
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Chen wiped the blood from his mouth, his tone firm.
Looking at the figure shielding her, Ye Xinran felt a warmth in her heart, deeply moved.
Can't find the book title? Try searching for the author, perhaps the title has been changed!
"Holy Master..."
In the void.
Ye Chang'an continued to watch everything unfold.
He also wanted to see how far Xuanyuan Chen would go to protect Ye Xinran.
On the plaza.
Hearing Ye Xinran's voice, Xuanyuan Chen turned his head and smiled, "Child, don't worry, he can't touch you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow flashed past, and Xuanyuan Chen immediately met it.
Unfortunately, the outcome remained the same. After only a few moves, Xuanyuan Chen was heavily injured.
Looking at the powerful black-robed man, Xuanyuan Chen's expression was a little conflicted.
He wanted to awaken the Old Ancestor sleeping in the Forbidden Land, but doing so would affect the future of the Heavenly Extremity Sacred Land.
Each sleeping Old Ancestor could only make one move, and this was a major matter.
However, Ye Xinran, a Heavenly Prodigy unparalleled in the past and present, could lead the Heavenly Extremity Sacred Land to the absolute peak.
Just as Xuanyuan Chen was about to make up his mind, Ye Xinran spoke.
"Holy Master, I appreciate your kindness, but since the opponent is here for me, I cannot drag you down."
With that, she looked at the black-robed man again, "You can only make a move against me while I haven't grown yet. If we were in the same realm, I would kill you like slaughtering a chicken."
"If you give me some more time, you won't even be able to look up to me. Attacking the weak and bullying the strong is despised by the world."
"Kill me or skin me quickly, don't dawdle."
After venting her anger, Ye Xinran felt much better.
The next moment, a figure appeared in her mind.
"Dad, I think I'm going to break my promise. I can't find Mom, and I can't go back to see you..."
Thinking of this, Ye Xinran's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Above, the black-robed man didn't care about Ye Xinran's scolding, as he was preparing to reap the rewards.
Seeing the black-robed man's intentions, Jin Xiaoya's heart tightened, and she was about to ask Jin Chuan to make a move.
Even if Jin Chuan might not be the black-robed man's opponent, the Myriad Treasures Building's reputation should still matter to the black-robed man, right?
But just then, a cold laugh came from the void.
"Heh heh, bullying the weak? If you mess with my daughter, then you are... dead."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.
At the same time, a figure in white appeared in the void, looking down at all living beings like an immortal king descending from the nine heavens.
Seeing the white-clothed man appear, Xuanyuan Chen and the black-robed man were both stunned.
This unprecedentedly powerful aura surprised both of them.
The black-robed man was even a little terrified.
He could feel a strong killing intent from the white-clothed man, and he had a premonition that he had no power to resist.
Looking at Ye Chang'an in the void, Ye Xinran was also stunned, but after reacting, her heart was filled with both confusion and excitement.
"Dad? What is this?"
Hearing this, Ye Chang'an looked at Ye Xinran with a gentle gaze and smiled, "Xinran, who said you don't have a backer? Dad tells you, your background is huge."
After speaking, Ye Chang'an turned his gaze to the black-robed man, his eyes changing, and killing intent erupted.
"Die."
The single word, like rolling heavenly thunder.
In the eyes of everyone, the black-robed man instantly exploded into a mist of blood.
Everyone, including Xuanyuan Chen, felt a storm surge in their hearts, and even fear appeared in many people's eyes.
Their mouths were wide open, and the scene was dead silent.
With a single word, a Great Sage Realm expert was annihilated.
Even an Emperor Realm expert couldn't do that, right?
Ye Xinran was also frozen in place.
