Extortion

"Haha~" Xiao Han shrank his neck slightly and chuckled dryly.

How could he not understand the implication of Heavenly Sound Old Man's words? Over the years, Ye Shenghan and Yin Xin's relationship had grown stronger, and it was almost a foregone conclusion that Heavenly Sound Old Man and Ye Jianxin would become in-laws.

Even if it's just to prevent Sound Valley's son-in-law from becoming an orphan, Heavenly Sound Old Man has to find a way to save Ye Jianxin's life.

As the "culprit" who brought the two younger generation together, Xiao Han was finding it hard to withstand the intense gaze of Heavenly Sound Old Man.

"Should we kill these guys?" Heavenly Sound Old Man turned his gaze to the five Dou Sheng from the two major forces, including the Great Heavenly Venerate, who were now like fish on a chopping board, and asked.

"Let's leave that aside for now." Xiao Han waved his sleeve, gathering the two helpless people and three beasts together. He then called out to a point in the Void Space, "Shouldn't you all show yourselves and try to rescue these useless trash?"

As soon as Xiao Han finished speaking, the space rippled, and two figures walked out side by side. When Heavenly Sound Old Man saw the two, his whole body tensed up immediately, and he was about to make a move, but Xiao Han quickly stopped him.

"Hehe~"

A figure in gray robes smiled, cupped his hands, and said, "I am Soul Hall Master, Hun Miesheng, greetings to Your Excellency Ice Saint."

That warm smile made the latter feel a sense of disgust. "Hun Miesheng, you don't need to be so polite. We've known each other for a long time!" Xiao Han said with a smile, but the smile on his handsome face was devoid of any warmth.

To be precise, this should be the first formal meeting between Xiao Han and Hun Miesheng. When the other party saved the Saint Gu You, he only heard his voice but did not see him.

However, despite it being their first meeting, Xiao Han made no attempt to conceal his killing intent towards Hun Miesheng; this wasn't an isolated case. Hun Miesheng felt the same way; they were both beings who wanted to eliminate each other as quickly as possible.

"Heh!" At this moment, the purple-robed elder beside Hun Miesheng sneered and mocked, "Hun Miesheng, it seems your reputation is waning. A junior who has been cultivating for less than two hundred years dares to speak to you like this."

"Senior Thunder Phoenix is right. How can I compare to you?" Hun Miesheng simply smiled at the purple-robed elder's mockery, showing no concern whatsoever, and even treated the elder with the respect due to a junior.

"Thunder Phoenix?" Xiao Han's expression hardened. " From the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan?"

"Of course!" The purple-robed elder's face showed pride, quite satisfied with Xiao Han's sensible manner.

Xiao Han was unaware of Thunder Phoenix's inner thoughts. At this moment, Lei Huang's expression was solemn, and he became even more cautious about the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan's foundation.

The old man from the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan named Thunder Phoenix in front of me didn't have a single appearance in the Original work.

However, this does not mean that the latter is not strong. Thunder Phoenix did not make a move, but under Xiao Han's detection, she could not hide. The aura she emitted faintly reached the Four Star Dou Sheng Late Stage.

His strength was almost on par with Hun Miesheng's, and since the cultivation speed of Magical Beast is far lower than that of Human Race, he was clearly an old monster who had lived for thousands of years. No wonder Hun Miesheng had to call himself a junior in front of him.

But...

Xiao Han's lips curled into a disdainful smile. No matter how long he lived, he was just Four Star Dou Sheng. Hun Miesheng simply didn't care. Otherwise, how could he tolerate such an old codger making a racket in front of him?

Xiao Han was only slightly surprised that the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan was willing to send four Dou Sheng, and his tone changed accordingly.

"What, are you two going to make a move?" Xiao Han asked with an innocent smile. He had already made up his mind; now was the perfect time for the Langya Pavilion to establish its authority.

Once his and Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice's "true strength" is revealed, Langya Pavilion's position will be incredibly secure in Central Plains, where those below the fifth star level are not allowed to act arbitrarily, allowing them to develop peacefully before the later major battles.

"Boy, release Phoenix and the others to me, and I may forgive your disrespect," Thunder Phoenix sneered. "Otherwise..."

Then he made a threat.
