The elder brother who mistook his brother-in-law, and Ye Fan who could not explain himself

The bright moon and golden lotuses occupied the center of the battlefield, drawing everyone's gaze.

The Manifestations were as beautiful as a painting, dividing heaven and earth, with sea and moon standing opposite each other. A full moon like a great platter occupied the sky above the sea.

Golden lotuses bloomed across the ground, each an immortal blossom, pure and untrammeled. The aura of the Great Dao rose straight into the firmament. Amid immense rumbling, the bright moon revolved again and again, scattering silver radiance, serene and magnificent, as specks of holy light fell.

Ripples formed in the moonlight, crushing golden lotuses one after another.

Yan Ruyu raised a hand. Her Bitter Sea churned, and the golden lotuses grew anew. Golden Dao Lotuses unfurled and bloomed in the wind, releasing a refreshing fragrance. Golden petals shot skyward, glittering translucently as they clashed with the Divine Moon that kept shedding rosy light.

Rumble!

Their collision produced a roar like mountains crying out and seas surging. A clearly visible ripple spread, its shock waves pulverizing mountains and tearing apart the earth.

Suddenly, Ji Haoyue caught sight of Ye Fan. His eyes lit up, and he decisively abandoned Yan Ruyu to appear before him.

"It's you!"

"We haven't met in years, and you still owe me a duel!" Ji Haoyue's eyes shone, his essence, energy, and spirit boiling to their limits as he called eagerly to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan froze, pointed at himself, and said incredulously, "Me?"

"Me, fight you? Am I still asleep? Or are you?" Ye Fan could not believe it. Unlike in the original story, he had gained quite a few opportunities among the Demon Race this time, breaking through repeatedly, but... fighting Ji Haoyue?

What could a mere Other Shore cultivator like him possibly offer?

"Yes, fight me!"
