"No! It's nothing!"
Despite Ge Ya's complete loss of cultivation, his innate domineering aura still ignited the deepest fear within Su Jin, causing his hair to stand on end and him to frantically wave his hands.
Ge Ya went back to his room to sleep.
Su Jin wiped away a cold sweat, panting heavily, and said, "Damn, the Devil Emperor is truly the Devil Emperor. Even in this state, he still managed to scare me so much I almost wet my pants! I really shouldn't have been so arrogant in front of him!"
Just as Xie Feng was about to say something, the gate of the young master's mansion was suddenly kicked open violently with a "bang," and a group of menacing people walked in!
" Su Jin, it must have been you!"
The newcomer angrily accused him; his face was still childlike—it was Fang Chong!
Su Jin didn't take the child seriously at all, and scoffed coldly, saying with a sneer, "What are you doing here instead of studying, kid?"
Fang Chong said angrily, " The Long-lasting Eternal Grass behind the clan's gate has been completely uprooted. You are the only one in the clan who dares to be so rebellious!"
Su Jin spread his hands. "Evidence? What evidence do you have?"
Fang Chong gritted his teeth and pointed at him. "You! Scoundrel!"
At this moment, Su Jin suddenly changed his expression and said fiercely, "You little brat, get out of my way! Don't bother me!"
Fang Chong was trembling with rage. He said to the dozen or so men behind him, "This guy dared to offend me! You, beat him to death!"
The subordinate stood still.
Fang Chong's eyes widened. "Did I just let my words go in one ear and out the other?"
One of them said hesitantly, "Young master, he... he's the eldest young master, we dare not lay a hand on him..."
Another person urged, "How about... you go yourself, young master?"
Fang Chong roared, "If I can beat him, what use are you? You're all trash!"
Everyone was so frightened that they fell silent.
Su Jin picked at his ear and stepped forward. "You guys are so noisy. Can't you go back to your own territory and argue? All this chattering, do you think you're crows or frogs?"
Fang Chong clenched his fist, ready to strike, but suddenly, he saw something and his expression immediately became respectful. He lowered his head and said in a loud voice, "Clan Queen, you've arrived!"
His voice revealed a sense of superiority, as if he were borrowing someone else's power.
Outside the gate, a cold wind swept in, and Nan Mingli, dressed in splendid robes, slowly appeared, her expression icy as she stared at everyone present!
Su Jin's expression immediately turned cold.
Fang Chong pointed at him and complained, "Clan leader, he bullied me!"
Nan Mingli glared at Su Jin, flicked her sleeve, and said coldly, "I've come to tell you that the Illusory Void Tournament is tomorrow. Are you ready?"
Su Jin said coldly, "No need for the clan empress to trouble herself!"
Nan Mingli's red lips curled slightly, and she said meaningfully, "Then you'd better... make yourself stronger..."
Su Jin remained silent, observing coldly.
Nan Mingli's eyes darted around, and she asked seriously, " Fang Chong, what are you doing here?"
Fang Chong replied, "Clan leader, it must have been this kid who pulled up all your Long-lasting Eternal Grass! I just couldn't stand it anymore!"
Nan Mingli coldly laughed, "It can't be him, his abilities... aren't that extraordinary!"
Su Jin said coldly, "Is there anything else? If not, please leave!"
Nan Mingli said, "Your father's health is getting worse; you'd better go see him."
Su Jin said, "This matter is none of your concern, Clan Head! I will take care of my biological father!"
"Then... you must take good care of me..."
Nan Mingli smiled, her gaze sliding to Xie Feng, her long eyebrows slightly furrowed, "And you are?"
Su Jin said, "My guest!"
Nan Mingli said, "Guests always have names, right?"
Xie Feng asked with a smile, "How resilient are you?"
Nan Mingli said, "Not bad."
Xie Feng said, "My surname is Xie, and my given name is Feng."
Xie Feng!
Nan Mingli's expression changed slightly. No wonder she asked about his endurance earlier; it turned out he was number one on the Heavenly Ranking!
A name that shook the entire world!
Especially yesterday, that incredible feat of leaping from the Indestructible Realm to the Indestructible Saint —who in the Origin Realm doesn't know about it? Who doesn't know it?!
Nan Mingli chuckled, " Su Jin, where did you make such a remarkable friend? May I ask where Young Master Xie is from? Tell me your origins so I can pay you a visit sometime."
Xie Feng said, " Eastern Dawn Valley!"
Nan Mingli's expression changed drastically. Her eyes darkened, and she asked in a cold voice, "You mean... Eastern Dawn Valley?!"
Xie Feng nodded. "Absolutely! Besides... I even accidentally killed your Indestructible Realm elder. It's all their fault for breaking the rules and trespassing on my territory."
"So it was you who killed him!"
Nan Mingli was furious. She moved swiftly and struck with her palm, causing space to distort and a hundred-foot-high shockwave to soar into the sky!
Xie Feng's eyes turned cold. With a wave of his hand, the Extreme Dao Sword appeared out of thin air, its blade aimed at Nan Mingli's neck. The wildly unleashed Sword Qi forced her to stop ten steps away!
Fang Chong and his group behind Nan Mingli were stunned by the sudden outbreak of the conflict!
Fang Chong reached out his hand to stop him. "No!"
Xie Feng said coldly, "Take one more step and your head will roll. If you don't believe me, I'll cut off one of your fingers as proof!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he twisted his wrist, and a wisp of Sword Qi shot out, severing Fang Chong's right thumb perfectly!
Fast, accurate, and ruthless!
A jet of blood Fang Chong from Fang Chong's fingertip into the air.
Fang Chong's screams continued.
The people behind him were also stunned!
Nan Mingli's face paled slightly. Remembering Xie Feng's strength, she finally came to her senses and slowly took two steps back.
Xie Feng sheathed his sword. "That's more like it!"
Su Jin was also stunned!
After backing down, Nan Mingli lost face and glared at Su Jin in anger and embarrassment. She turned all her anger towards Xie Feng into hatred and transferred it to Su Jin!
Her eyes were brimming with murderous intent!
Nan Mingli glared fiercely at Su Jin and stormed off!
Fang Chong and the others quickly followed!
"Brother Xie, that was so satisfying! It's good to have strength, look how angry you made that woman constipated! Hahaha!" Su Jin patted Xie Feng on the shoulder, overjoyed.
"Having the ability is indeed good."
Xie Feng wholeheartedly agreed with this sentiment!
After the initial joy, Su Jin suddenly became worried. "But if that's the case, Nan Mingli will definitely hate us. Look at the look in her eyes at the end, she wanted nothing more than to kill me right then and there!"
Xie Feng coldly replied, "I want to provoke her. The angrier she gets, the more she'll retaliate against you, and the more I'll achieve my goal."
Su Jin's eyes widened, somewhat puzzled. "Why is that?"
Xie Feng said, "People lose their rationality when they are extremely angry. What I want is to take advantage of her irrationality to get rid of her! If she was just a thorn in your side before, now that she knows you have me as an ally, and at the level of Indestructible Saint, she will definitely feel that her position and life are in danger, and she will be even more eager to get rid of you! At this time, because of the haste, her plan will inevitably be full of loopholes. As long as we use these loopholes, we can bring her down and let you succeed to the throne safely!"
