"Thank you, you've successfully provoked my wrath..."
Yan Ming took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger. "If it had been you in the grove that day, you would know why I distanced myself from anything related to Xie Feng!"
Yan Ming closed his eyes slightly. Just thinking about that eerie night, that figure in white, and that terrifying interrogation still gave him nightmares every night!
Marquis of Mo Yang...
A name that makes the entire Dao Realm tremble at the mere mention of it!
"To describe cowardice in such a refined and elegant way, it seems you've truly been terrified by Shui Yunjun!" Kui Xin sneered, his eyes filled with contempt.
He still thinks that Yan Ming is afraid of Shui Yunjun!
"If you want to court death, I won't stop you. Now, begin your performance!"
Yan Ming shrugged. He had felt a little guilty about killing Yang Lin, which was why he had spoken up to remind him.
Since the other party is so ungrateful, let him be.
This guy will only drag the Pill Clan into the abyss!
Kui Xin didn't take it to heart; he turned his head away and said nothing more!
Time passed slowly, and the hall was filled with a large crowd, with people gradually gathering around the round table.
"Chief of the Dark Sea Clan, Haidera has arrived!"
" Star Clan Commander, Yi Cang has arrived!"
"Chief of the Cloud Clan, Yun Qingmeng!"
As several loud voices rose and fell, three important figures walked in. They were noble and dazzling, and their appearance astonished everyone.
"Although we are also a high-level power, this is the first time we've sat at the same table with the leaders of the ten major races!"
"That aura, that imposing presence—a great clan is indeed a great clan. Before them, I would want to bow down and submit!"
"Of the ten major clans, only the Literary Clan is missing!"
"As the most powerful clan in the Dao Realm, the Literary Clan will undoubtedly make a grand entrance!"
" Shui Yunjun is a beauty unparalleled throughout the ages! I once caught a glimpse of her from afar, and I still can't forget her to this day!"
"I heard that lately she's always had someone with her, and she's really good to this person, taking him everywhere she goes!"
"You're talking about Xie Feng! This guy is no ordinary person, number one on the Heavenly Pride Ranking! He even wrote the Preface to Tengwang Pavilion that could inspire Literary Dao Dragon and Phoenix! What's even more legendary is that, because of him, Flame Island was unscathed, while Asura Island was completely wiped out!"
"And the former patriarchs of the Spirit Clan and the Ghost Clan, Gu Tao and Netherworld, I heard they both died at the hands of Shui Yunjun! I also heard that Shui Yunjun helped Flame Island because of Xie Feng!"
"Who is this Xie Feng? Why would Shui Yunjun risk a complete falling out with the Spirit Clan and the Ghost Clan for him?!"
"Hiss! Thinking about it that way, this conference today was mainly hosted by their three clans, could it be that they're targeting the Literary Clan..."
Shh... Don't say things you shouldn't!
People started discussing it animatedly, and for some reason, their conversation inexplicably turned to Xie Feng. This name had a kind of magic; whenever they discussed important matters of the Dao Realm, they seemed unable to avoid mentioning him!
Head seat.
Kui Xin frowned. " The Literary Clan really knows how to act like big shots! Almost everyone's here, and they're the only ones who're late!"
Hai Kuoyun said, "The designated time hasn't passed yet. Pill Clan Chief, please calm down and wait patiently. After all, the Literary Clan is the leader of the Ten Great Clans. How can we demonstrate our status if we don't arrive a little late?"
You Chenfeng, "What I'm more concerned about is whether Xie Feng is coming or not!"
Hai Kuoyun sneered, "He will definitely come! Moreover, he and Shui Yunjun must know what we're going to do!"
"You knew all along and still dared to come? Are you that brave?"
"It's precisely because I knew that I dared to come; that's just Shui Yunjun's personality!"
" The Spirit Clan made a wise choice in appointing you as their new leader. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory!"
"No, it's not that I, the clan leader, understand Shui Yunjun, but rather that I understand the mindset of strong individuals like her—knowing there are tigers in the mountains, yet still venturing into the tiger's den! They are arrogant because they have strength!"
"Whether the plan succeeds or not depends on the two of you! This clan leader and the Pill Clan will stand firmly behind you, and will not hesitate to step forward if needed! It would be best if you also dealt with Yan Ming!"
Kui Xin and Hai Kuoyun are having a conversation.
You Chenfeng sneered, " Yan Ming is too cowardly. The deaths of Gu Tao and the former clan Netherworld Ming terrified him. He'd probably wet himself if he saw Shui Yunjun now. What a useless piece of trash! Since he chose to betray us, let him taste the bitter fruit of a traitor!"
Kui Xin and Hai Kuoyun nodded in agreement.
"Hey, aren't you guys talking too loudly? If you're trying to harm someone, can you at least make sure the person involved doesn't hear you?"
Yan Ming stared at them, utterly exasperated.
He was sitting not far away!
He heard every word of their conspiracy clearly!
Can't you show him some respect?
Let's have a discussion, but the noise level is a bit too high!
Yan Ming was speechless!
The three men's expressions changed, and they quickly turned their heads away, ceasing their discussion.
In a corner.
Dressed in black, the Dark Sea Clan Chief Haidera held a wine cup, looked at You Chenfeng and his companions, and smiled, " Mang Yan, they seem to be discussing something interesting."
A young man in armor beside him said, "About Shui Yunjun and Xie Feng!"
Haidera narrowed his sharp eyes, swirling his wine glass. "That name is familiar to me. A truly astounding figure!"
"It is said that Xie Feng is on good terms with many important figures, such as Shui Yunjun of the Literary Clan, Ge Kuangwo of Flame Island, Zhou Jin of the Dawn Forest, and Princess Lü Yan of the Cloud Clan. He has a wide network of connections, and it is because of him that the former patriarchs of the Ghost Clan and the Spirit Clan perished!"
Mang Yan explained in detail.
Haidera said, "Look at these three, they fear Shui Yunjun like a venomous snake or a ferocious beast. In my opinion, the one who truly deserves our attention is Xie Feng! A powerful figure of unknown origin is much more intriguing!"
Mang Yan raised his head. "Clan leader, what do you mean?"
Haidera lit up with anticipation. "It's been too peaceful for too long. I've almost lost my hunting instincts. Now, I want to have some fun! This Xie Feng is definitely a big fish that'll be a lot of fun!"
Mang Yan advised, "Clan leader, he has the backing of the Literary Clan. If we touch him, we will inevitably become enemies with Shui Yunjun!"
" Non-Self Dark Sea Clan hadn't kept a low profile and remained hidden in the sea, how could the Literary Clan be the number one clan in the world! Perhaps... it was possible four hundred years ago when Marquis of Mo Yang was alive, but now, with Shui Yunjun alone, it's not enough!"
Haidera's snake-like eyes narrowed slightly, a sinister smile playing on them.
As time passed, more people arrived in Delusion City, including Zhou Jin, Ge Kuangwo, and Chen Ling. After exchanging greetings, they took their seats.
After a moment...
" Literary Clan Chief Wen, Shui Yunjun has arrived!"
At this moment, as the announcer outside the door announced, the much-anticipated Shui Yunjun finally arrived, followed by Xie Feng!
The moment they appeared, a storm brewed within the hall!
Many gazes were cast upon me, each carrying a complex mix of emotions.
Hai Kuoyun and the other two sat up straight instantly, exchanging glances with calculating expressions on their faces.
