Sensing the killing intent emanating from Elder Tang, Jiang Yu couldn't help but take a step back, his throat bobbing as he stammered, "You... you want to kill me?"
Elder Tang shook his head helplessly, "If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for messing with the wrong person."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu immediately retorted angrily, "You're saying I shouldn't have provoked him? Have you forgotten about the Jiang Household?!"
Elder Tang calmly said, "Excuse my bluntness, but in this young master's eyes, the Jiang Household is nothing but a fart."
These words immediately caused an uproar in the room.
Someone asked incredulously, "How dare Elder Tang say such a thing? That's the Jiang Household!"
One of the men said, "I think Elder Tang has gone mad."
Another person warned, "Watch your words! Do you have a death wish? You dare to speak ill of Elder Tang?"
Upon hearing this, the man's expression changed slightly, but he still stubbornly insisted, "I'm just stating the facts. Don't you think so in your heart?"
The man was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said nothing.
Hu Xiaotian, "This guy's pretty good at flattering people."
Ye Lingxi laughed and said, "He must be hoping to gain some benefit from us, otherwise he wouldn't risk offending the power behind this young man for our sake."
Hu Xiaotian nodded. "I think so too, but what could his purpose be?"
Ye Lingxi pondered for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I can't think of anything."
Yan Qingwu suddenly said, "I should know."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingxi and Hu Xiaotian both looked at Yan Qingwu.
Ye Lingxi asked curiously, "What is it?"
Yan Qingwu said, "He probably wants to get the method to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm from Xiao Chen."
Ye Lingxi was taken aback. "You want to get the method to break through to Immortal Emperor from my brother?"
Yan Qingwu nodded and said, "Mm."
Hu Xiaotian asked, puzzled, "Why are you so sure?"
Yan Qingwu countered, "What do you think is most desirable for someone who has been stuck at the ninth level of the Immortal Sovereign Ninth Layer of thousands of years?"
Ye Lingxi pondered for a moment, then asked, "Break through to the Immortal Emperor?"
Yan Qingwu nodded and said, "Yes."
Ye Lingxi looked at Su Chen, "Brother, do you have a way to help someone at the Immortal Sovereign Ninth Layer break through to the Immortal Emperor?"
Su Chen glanced at Ye Lingxi, then nodded and said, "Yes."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingxi exclaimed excitedly, "Sister Qingwu is stuck at the Immortal Sovereign Ninth Layer! Quickly teach her how to break through to the Immortal Emperor!"
Su Chen shook his head and smiled, "No need."
Ye Lingxi was stunned, then asked in confusion, "Why?"
Su Chen glanced at Yan Qingwu and smiled, "With her talent for cultivation, does she need my help?"
Yan Qingwu smiled slightly.
Hearing this, Ye Lingxi nodded in agreement. "Indeed, with Qingwu's talent for cultivation, she could break through to the Immortal Emperor on her own. Why would she need someone else to teach her?"
As she spoke, she looked at Yan Qingwu and asked curiously, "Sister Qingwu, how much longer until you break through to the Immortal Emperor?"
Yan Qingwu smiled sweetly, "It'll be soon, not long from now."
Ye Lingxi exclaimed excitedly, "Haha, once you break through to Immortal Emperor, I'll have another powerful backer!"
Su Chen and Yan Qingwu exchanged a glance, then shook their heads and smiled.
Ye Lingxi smiled. "Of course, I was just joking."
Yan Qingwu asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Ye Lingxi smiled and said, "I don't want to hide behind you forever. I want to stand in front of you and protect you!"
Yan Qingwu was stunned.
Su Chen smiled with satisfaction.
Hu Xiaotian looked at Ye Lingxi with complicated emotions.
For a while before, wasn't he always by Ye Lingxi's side?
He knew how hard Ye Lingxi had worked, how many injuries she had suffered, and how many grievances she had endured during that time.
He asked Ye Lingxi why she was working so hard.
Ye Lingxi replied with a smile that she didn't want to always hide behind Su Chen Su Chen; she also wanted to stand in front of him and protect him.
Hu Xiaotian was stunned for a moment because he hadn't expected Ye Lingxi's target to be this.
To be honest, this goal is too difficult, almost impossible.
Why?
What we need to know is, what is the only way for Ye Lingxi to protect Su Chen?
He definitely needs to surpass Su Chen in strength, right?
But Hu Xiaotian knew exactly how strong Su Chen was.
So powerful it's despair-inducing!
So powerful that it's impossible to surpass!
Therefore, Ye Lingxi's goal is really too difficult.
But Hu Xiaotian had to admit that Ye Lingxi Ye Lingxi really working hard towards this goal, so he didn't discourage her at the time, but instead encouraged her to keep going.
Although Ye Lingxi's goal is difficult, what if she achieves it?
No one can predict the future. Perhaps now, that goal seems like an unattainable star, full of unknown difficulties and obstacles.
But the wonder of life lies in its uncertainty; perhaps at some moment, a special experience can become the key opportunity to achieve one's goals.
Therefore, don't easily dismiss those seemingly unattainable dreams and goals. As long as you hold onto hope and persevere, who can say that miracles won't happen in the future?
Hu Xiaotian believed that Ye Lingxi would definitely be able to achieve this goal someday.
We'll wait and see!
Xiahou Yuan overheard Su Chen and the others' conversation clearly. He murmured, "The method to break through to the Immortal Emperor, the method to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm..."
After repeating the same words several times, Xiahou Yuan suddenly looked at Jiang Yu, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, and grinned, " Jiang Yu, prepare to die!"
As he spoke, he opened his palm, and a giant axe appeared in his hand.
Everyone present was taken aback by Xiahou Yuan's action.
Someone asked, "Lord Xiahou Yuan was perfectly fine just now, what happened to him?"
Everyone looked puzzled, and no one could answer the question.
Jiang Yu trembled, his gaze fixed on Xiahou Yuan, "You... you want to kill me too?"
Xiahou Yuan's lips curled up. "So what if it is?"
Jiang Yu's face turned pale, and his voice trembled as he said, "You guys are really crazy!"
Elder Tang looked at Xiahou Yuan with a puzzled expression, "What are you doing?"
Xiahou Yuan grinned and said, "Guess."
Elder Tang's face darkened. He ignored Xiahou Yuan and instead looked at Jiang Yu, his eyes flashing with killing intent.
"Let me!"
Xiahou Yuan, holding a giant axe, slowly walked towards Jiang Yu.
Feeling the murderous intent of the two men, Jiang Yu nearly wet himself in fear. His eyes were filled with endless terror. Without further hesitation, he turned and ran towards the door.
But with his strength at the Immortal Venerable Realm, how could he possibly escape from two Immortal Sovereign Realm Ninth Layer Peak experts?
If Jiang Yu really escapes...
Elder Tang and Xiahou Yuan could just kill themselves by crashing their heads into a hole.
After all, there's no point in living, so it's better to be dead.
The moment Jiang Yu set off, two terrifying forces instantly suppressed him.
Jiang Yu was immediately suppressed on the spot and unable to move.
Xiahou Yuan laughed, "Kid, you think you can run away from us? How much do you underestimate us?"
