As soon as the old man arrived, the previously noisy venue suddenly fell much quieter. The forces from Dan Valley had previously mocked and ridiculed them, but as soon as the old man arrived, they all fell silent.
Everyone knew that when the old man got angry, there was no one in the world who wasn't afraid of him. No one dared to offend such a person.
Watching the old man sit down in the distance, although also on the side of the Tianwu Alliance, it was clear he didn't want to be mixed up with the Tianwu Alliance.
Seeing this scene, a trace of sadness appeared in Qu Jianying's eyes. Clearly, because of the matter of driving Long Chen away, the old man had already held a grudge against her.
She didn't care about anyone's misunderstanding, but the old man's coldness deeply pierced her heart.
"I'll go over for a bit."
Li Tianxuan, who had been sitting next to Qu Jianying, stood up.
"Forget it, that old bastard is like a stone in a cesspit—stinky, hard, and stubborn. He won't listen to anyone's explanation."
If you go over and explain, he won't treat you kindly. Don't make trouble for yourself—let him be. Qu Jianying shook his head and stopped Li Tianxuan; he knew the old man all too well.
"This matter is actually a misunderstanding. Just explain it clearly." Li Tianxuan said that he had arranged for Qu Jianying to do all this. Now that Qu Jianying was being blamed and the old man misunderstood, he felt guilty.
"Not every misunderstanding can be resolved. If one is solved, the next will be born. The two of us, in this lifetime, that's how it is." Qu Jianying looked at the old man's tall figure and sighed in disappointment.
Seeing Qu Jianying say this, Li Tianxuan fell silent. Clearly, only the two of them truly understood the conflict between Qu Jianying and the old man; no one else could do anything about it.
The old man came in and brought in thousands of righteous cultivators. After entering, they all saluted Qu Jianying. Through secret communication, Qu Jianying finally realized that no one had come in for so long—it turned out it was all Tianji Island behind it.
Qu Jianying's brows furrowed and he was about to stand up, but Li Tianxuan held him back. Li Tianxuan smiled slightly and said, "
Today, we're all just spectators. Long Chen is the real star. Long Chen already secretly sent me a message, telling us not to worry about anything and just focus on watching the show."
"This little bastard is the complete opposite of that old bastard—one is stupid to death, the other slippery and slippery. That little rascal won't reveal a single bit of information, which makes me worry. If I catch him, I have to give him a good beating. At least he can vent his anger." Qu Jianying said bitterly.
After Long Chen was expelled, he used information from the old man to report to Li Tianxuan that he was safe, and secretly kept in touch with Huayun Sect, but never contacted her. This made her so angry she wanted to curse, making her feel like Long Chen treated her like an outsider.
"Alliance Leader, I fully support this. Long Chen is a typical case of 'three days without fighting, tearing off the roof and tiles.'
If you don't keep an eye on him, do you believe he can ascend to heaven? If you, a leader who is busy with affairs every day, worry deeply about him, yet he doesn't appreciate it, such a person deserves to be beaten to death, making him unable to take care of himself. Sitting next to Ye Lingshan, Mo Nian, who was eagerly trying to curry favor, suddenly exaggerated the story. He absolutely couldn't let the chance to trick Long Chen slip by.
Ye Lingshan had been a bit overwhelmed by Mo Nian's enthusiasm. This person was good in every way, except for his words that were a bit wild and indistinct. He simply couldn't chat and was hard to respond, and as soon as he spoke, the topic would be dead.
At this moment, he was really fired up by adding fuel to Long Chen's spirit, his eyes shining brightly.
"Get lost, you're not a good person either. Tell me, stop tempting my disciple. She won't marry unless someone can marry into the family. Otherwise, don't have any ill intentions."
My disciple can't even win Long Chen away. With your clumsy pick-up skills, if I hadn't discouraged you, you'd be far worse than Long Chen. Qu Jianying said irritably.
Who is Qu Jianying? How could Mo Nian's little scheme possibly escape her thoughts? Besides, she didn't really like Mo Nian, always feeling that he was slick-tongued, even less reliable than Long Chen. Most importantly, when he smiled, he was so cheeky and uncomfortable.
"Alliance Leader, that's not right. My pickup skills are clumsy because I lack experience.
My lack of experience also proves that I am pure and innocent, never flirting with women. Unlike Long Chen, that playboy, I am like a sea of flowers, never touching a single leaf.
Looking across the entire Tianwu Continent, who could be as devoted as me, Mo Nian? Is I that focused? Mother-in-law, please agree to me! "Mo Nian actually knelt before Qu Jianying, even changing how he addressed him.
Ye Lingshan was both embarrassed and angry. This Mo Nian was just too stupid. Ye Lingshan had met countless people and had many suitors, but this was the first time she'd seen someone as exceptional as Mo Nian. She wished she could kick him to death.
"Bang!"
Ye Lingshan's wish came true. Mo Nian was indeed kicked out by Qu Jianying. Whether by coincidence or intention, Mo Nian actually flew straight toward the old man.
The old man reached out his large hand and caught Mo Nian. Mo Nian quickly stood up and bowed, "Thank you, father-in-law."
"Pfft."
The powerful figures present almost spat out their saliva. This Mo Nian was truly talented.
The old man and Qu Jianying's entanglements and entanglements were well known to the older generation. If it weren't for their discord, they would have been together long ago. Now, the father-in-law Mo Nian calls is truly remarkable, with a touch of brilliance.
The old man looked strange but didn't argue. He glanced at Qu Jianying in the distance, whose expression was somewhat unnatural, and just snorted coldly: "Kid, you can be Long Chen's brother, which is quite something. Don't always joke around; a real man should have the air of a real man."
As long as you're strong enough, what kind of wife can't you find? You pester me relentlessly all day, can you at least have some shame? Qu
Jianying felt a bit better seeing that the old man didn't refuse the title of 'father-in-law,' at least proving that he cared about her.
"Hmph, if he could have any shame, he wouldn't be called a 'West Scoundrel.' A wretch—what face does he have left?" From afar across the street came a cold snort—it was Huo Lieyun speaking.
Mo Nian was furious, pointing at Huo Lieyun and cursing, "You little brat, come out here! Today, I'll teach you how to behave."
Did you not drink enough pee last time? I'll make you a hot piece right here and eat it while it's hot—how about that? Mo
Nian had originally pointed at Huo Lieyun and cursed him directly, challenging him directly. The old man nodded, thinking Mo Nian still had the demeanor of a master and was a real man.
But after hearing the last sentence, the old man's face darkened. No matter how he heard it, it felt off. A true expert wouldn't say something so lacking in skill.
Huo Lieyun's expression changed, but he quickly suppressed his anger and sneered, "Who do you think you are?" He's just a mouse everyone despises. If I go all out, you'll still hide in that turtle shell and escape.
Besides, today's protagonist is Long Chen. Once I kill Long Chen, I'll deal with you, you wretch. "
That's right, Mo Nian, you wretch, what else can you do besides running away?" Born to be a turtle. Someone cursed loudly. This person was wearing the Ancient Family Alliance costume, clearly Mo Nian's old grudge.
"Mo Nian, if you swear to fight to the death and never flee, Senior Brother Huo will fight you to the death. Do you dare?" This time, the one who stepped forward was actually an ancient clan prodigy.
Why is the prodigy of the Ancient Clan also going head-to-head with Mo Nian? Suddenly, people realized that before the great war between the Yin-Yang Realm, Mo Nian's archaeological scope was limited to the Ancient Family Alliance.
After the great war between the Yin-Yang Realms, Mo Nian's business had expanded to include the ancient clans, evil paths, and Xuan beast clans. It was said that in recent months, Mo Nian had been frantically digging up the great tomb.
On average, he dug seven ancient tombs a day, driving some of the major clans of sects to the end of their wits, hunting him relentlessly. But with Mo Nian wielding the Earth-Splitting God Shuttle, no one could stop him.
Back when Mo Nian was still at the Transformation Spirit Realm, he was already slick and unstoppable. Now that he had advanced to the Life Star Realm, he was even more powerful, wielding the Earth-Splitting Divine Shuttle with ease. No one could do anything to him, and they were so angry they were grinding their teeth to pieces.
The most infuriating thing was that Mo Nian not only dug up the grave, but even overturned the large tomb, exposing their ancestors' bones in broad daylight. This was exposing the corpses, a grave taboo, yet Mo Nian did just that.
In Mo Nian's words, if I say something, I can do it. Weren't you trying to kill me? Come on, Long Chen is responsible for killing alive, I'm responsible for digging up the dead.
Nowadays, all major powers, wherever they have ancient tombs, live in constant fear, sending large numbers of people to guard the tombs day and night, and everyone is in constant fear.
Originally, any grudge was usually directed at the sect, not at the cemetery. Mo Nian pioneered another form of revenge on the Tianwu Continent, but it only made people hate him even more.
So when Mo Nian faced off against Huo Lieyun, Huo Lieyun only said one sentence, and thousands of powerful figures on the other side began to curse Mo Nian loudly.
Mo Nian opened her mouth, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't curse those people, her face flushed with anger.
"Don't chicken out, charge up and take them down. If any old guy steps in, I'll take care of it for you." The old man said.
Mo Nian felt a chill run down her spine. Old man, I don't have the guts you have. If I went all out, a single Fire Lie Cloud would be enough to keep me busy. Not only would I have Jiaoqi True Lord, but there would also be tens of thousands of prodigies from various races. Are you asking me to die?
"Ahem, old man, I actually want to fight my way through, but today's main character is Long Chen. I can't steal his spotlight. Let's wait until he arrives before we talk." Mo Nian chuckled and finally obediently returned to her seat.
But seeing Ye Lingshan glaring fiercely at him, it was clear that his earlier words had made Ye Lingshan feel a bit embarrassed. Mo Nian, helpless, could only hide beside Li Tianxuan. Li Tianxuan was always friendly, easy to talk to, and had the demeanor of a master. Mo Nian greatly admired him.
Just as Mo Nian sat down, the whole room suddenly erupted in commotion. A young man walked in slowly. He was handsome and exuded a scholarly air. However, people recognized him not because of his looks, but because in the void behind him, a massive color was spinning endlessly.
"Hu Feng, the heir of the Gambling Heavenly Dao."
Everyone's hearts skipped a beat. This Hu Feng was an extremely mysterious figure, who had risen to fame after fighting True Lord Jiaoqi.
Although that battle was merely a test between the two sides, Hu Feng's strange way of striking left a deep impression on people. Some even believed he was the strongest on the Tianwu Continent, but he was too low-key, and no one knew just how strong he really was.
Hu Feng's appearance immediately drew everyone's attention. Hu Feng looked around, and when he saw Mo Nian, he cupped his fists slightly: "
Brother Mo Nian, long time no see. You're as impressive as ever. Congratulations."
