“Uncle Tan Cang, please do not speak nonsense. Ye Chu did not deceive me. I came here of my own free will.” Tan Miaotong stepped forward to speak to Tan Cang, “Uncle Tan Cang, please go back. Tell Father that if he does not cancel the arranged marriage, I will never return.”
“Miss, you…” Tan Cang grew somewhat anxious. Their mission was to bring Tan Miaotong back.
“Uncle Tan Cang, please return!” Tan Miaotong continued.
“Miss!” Tan Cang strode forward, reaching out to grab Tan Miaotong, “It is dangerous for the Miss to be outside. Better to come back with this old servant.”
Seeing the other’s hand about to reach Tan Miaotong, Ye Chu stepped forward, blocking Tan Cang, “Elder, rest assured. I will take good care of Miaotong. There is no need to worry about her safety.”
“You?” Tan Cang looked at Ye Chu and said, “Wuxin Peak is indeed quite good. Few dare come here looking for trouble. However, you are not qualified enough. You cannot protect the Miss either.”
“If I cannot protect her, could you protect her?” Ye Chu smiled at Tan Cang and said, “The distance from here to the Tan family is extremely far. I too fear the Elder cannot ensure Miaotong’s safety. Elder, please return.”
Hearing Ye Chu’s words, Tan Cang’s pupils suddenly contracted. He stared fixedly at Ye Chu and said, “You mean I am inferior to you?”
“Does this even need to be said?” Ye Chu smiled at Tan Cang and said, “Elder, please return. Miaotong is very safe here. Nobody can bully her.”
“Hmph! The Tan family’s affairs do not need your Wuxin Peak to interfere. If it were someone else from Wuxin Peak, I would admit my inferiority. But you, I do not take seriously. At this moment, you had best step aside sensibly. I am taking our family’s Miss away. This has nothing to do with you.” Tan Cang’s tone grew somewhat unfriendly. He had no good impression of Ye Chu to begin with. In his view, Tan Miaotong had been tricked up the mountain by Ye Chu.
“Whether you take me seriously or not is not important. What is important is that this is my territory.” Ye Chu looked at Tan Cang and said, “Elder, please return!”
“What if I insist on taking the Miss away?” Tan Cang glared at Ye Chu.
Ye Chu shrugged, “Then I can only offend the Elder!”
“With just you?” Tan Cang sneered, “If you have the ability, fight me alone. Do not rely on Wuxin Peak’s power. Did you not claim you could protect Miaotong? Must you also rely on others’ hands?”
“The grudge between your Tan family and Ye Chu has nothing to do with my Wuxin Peak. Play as you please, play to your heart’s content. If this lad cannot beat you, you take the beautiful Miaotong away. We will absolutely not stop you.” Jin Wawa had somehow come over here. Looking at Ye Chu, he smiled with schadenfreude. His words nearly made Ye Chu kick him hard a few times.
Tan Cang was stunned, but then overjoyed, “Then so be it!”
With that, he shot to Ye Chu’s face, staring at him and saying, “Please, let us see how you stop me.”
Ye Chu took a deep breath. Looking at Tan Cang’s eyes full of fighting spirit, he knew this battle was unavoidable.
“If you can defeat me, I will turn around and leave the mountain at once,” Tan Cang said. “If you lose to me, then do not interfere with my Miaotong’s affairs.”
“Fight then, do I fear you?” Ye Chu snorted, standing in mid-air, glaring at the other.
Tan Cang’s aura surged forth, a terrifying, vast momentum shooting straight up. Each surge shredded space. Ye Chu stood above the void, feeling this surging momentum, his body tensing.
This was a Sovereign, with formidable aura, no weaker than Bamboo Sovereign, perhaps even slightly stronger.
Facing a Sovereign, Ye Chu dared not underestimate him. Especially a Sovereign from a Holy Land, who was even more terrifying.
“Uncle Tan Cang, please go back quickly. I said I will not return, so I will not return.” Tan Miaotong, seeing Tan Cang targeting Ye Chu, grew somewhat worried and could not help shouting.
“Miss, once I defeat him, I will naturally return.” Tan Cang’s gaze fell on Ye Chu. His aura surged forth, sweeping towards Ye Chu like a tornado. He had originally thought such momentum would give Ye Chu a headache, but Ye Chu stood steadily there, not the slightest change.
“Eh…” Tan Cang showed some surprise. He naturally could detect that Ye Chu had not yet stepped into the King realm. Yet someone who had not reached the King realm could be fearless before a Sovereign’s momentum. This was somewhat astonishing.
“This bit of momentum cannot do anything to me.” Ye Chu stared at the other. At this moment, he had reached the ninth level of the Profound Origin realm, with formidable strength. How could the other’s momentum suppress him?
“Good! Good! Good! I originally thought it would be very dull, but it seems you can still catch one or two of my moves.” Tan Cang stared at Ye Chu and laughed heartily. Power surged on his fist. As his artistic conception surged, power interwove through his body, surging boundlessly, radiance dazzling.
“One or two moves? You think too highly of yourself.” As Ye Chu spoke, his artistic conception also surged forth. As Ye Chu’s artistic conception shook, vast power surged, transforming into a huge starry sky. The starry sky was dazzling, nine stars merging into one, from which terrifying sword light condensed.
Ye Chu knew the gap between him and a Sovereign. Ordinary moves were useless against a Sovereign. Ye Chu had no choice but to mobilise his pattern mark, pushing it to the extreme, so that he could fight a Sovereign.
Ye Chu’s power shook unceasingly. Each shake sent a surge of sword intent rushing out, transforming into a terrifying giant sword in the void. The giant sword circled around Ye Chu, extraordinarily powerful.
Tan Cang was also stunned seeing this scene, somewhat surprised in his heart. He had not expected Ye Chu’s power to reach such a level. Though it could not match a Sovereign, it was far stronger than a King.
“As expected of someone from Wuxin Peak, none are simple.” Tan Cang had originally thought Ye Chu was a soft persimmon, but now it seemed the other was also a terrifying figure. Once he grew up, he would become a madman who made people’s hearts skip a beat.
“Wuxin Peak is indeed a gathering place for madmen and monsters. The Miss absolutely cannot stay here long.” Tan Cang secretly resolved to defeat Ye Chu quickly and take Tan Miaotong away from this madmen’s gathering place.
“Not bad, but you have ultimately not reached the Sovereign realm. You are still not my match.” Tan Cang stared at Ye Chu and said, “As a cultivator, you should know the gap between the two.”
“Sovereigns, I have killed them before. If we do not fight, how do you know I am not your match?” Ye Chu stared at the other and said.
“You think me easy to fool?” Tan Cang cursed. The power on his body grew even more majestic. Each movement transformed into a male lion. The male lion roared, its voice shaking heaven and earth, echoing ceaselessly above Wuxin Peak.
This also attracted Ou Yi’s arrival. Ou Yi looked at the two confronting each other, a smile filling the corners of his mouth. This was too interesting. To be able to watch a show while enjoying the pleasure of seeing his own peerless beauty in the mirror every day, what a wonderful life this was.
