“Miaotong!” Just as the crowd climbed over a high mountain and arrived at the location of the Holy Cliff, a shout reached the hearts of Ye Chu and the others. Ye Chu felt it was somewhat familiar. Turning to look, he saw Tan Chen leading a group of disciples right at the entrance to the Holy Cliff.
“Brother Tan Chen!” Tan Miaotong was somewhat happy and called out in a delicate and lovely voice, but after calling out this sentence, she remembered something and looked at Tan Chen weakly, saying, “Brother Tan Chen is not going to catch me and take me back, is he?”
Tan Chen smiled at Tan Miaotong, then turned to look at Ye Chu and said, “It has been a long time! Is Brother Ye well?”
“I am eating and drinking well, thank you for your concern!” Ye Chu looked at Tan Chen and smiled, “But Tan Chen is indeed very fast to find us so easily.”
“Brother Ye flatters me. We are merely waiting by a stump for a hare. Anyone who comes to the Red Dust Domain would surely not miss the chance to see the Red Dust Holy Cliff, would they?” Tan Chen smiled.
Hearing this, Ye Chu nodded and said, “Brother Tan makes a good point. The sights we have seen along the way are truly shocking. If one does not see it once in their life, they will surely be left with regrets!”
“Brother Ye is truly a soulmate!” Tan Chen smiled, “Only upon arriving here does one understand why the Red Dust Female Saint left behind so many legends back then. If a person could live to such an extent, this life would be without regrets. Although she is not a god in the literal sense, in the hearts of many, she is a god, the goddess of the world.”
“Brother Tan speaks the truth!” Ye Chu smiled, “How about you and I travel together?”
“Naturally!” Tan Chen smiled, leading the group of Tan family disciples to travel alongside Ye Chu. Ye Chu glanced at the Tan family disciples, among whom were experts at the Emperor realm.
“I have not seen Brother Tan Chen for a long time, and your strength has surged again. Congratulations!” Ye Chu smiled at Tan Chen, “If we were to fight this time, I fear it would be hard to defeat Brother Tan!”
“Brother Ye is too polite! Last time I was defeated by Brother Ye, I returned to the clan to enter closed cultivation. The clan provided countless resources and even used the clan’s holy artifact to barely allow me to reach the Emperor realm. Speaking of which, I am ashamed, as I cannot compare to Brother Ye’s self cultivation. Relying on your own strength to slay the outstanding figure of Bu Luo Mountain truly shocked an entire domain.”
Hearing Tan Chen say he reached the Emperor realm, Ye Chu could not help but want to curse. He thought these holy lands were truly heaven defying. He had worked so hard and had not yet reached the Emperor realm, yet they could easily reach it relying on their foundation. The circumstances of different people truly could not be compared.
But Tan Chen did not know that he also admired Ye Chu immensely at this moment. He had actually slain Bu Luo Xingchen of Bu Luo Mountain. Tan Chen had also crossed paths with Bu Luo Xingchen once, and that person was terrifying. Possessing the Bu Luo Holy Art, even ordinary Emperors were not his match, yet he still died at Ye Chu’s hands, proving that Ye Chu currently had no pressure fighting an Emperor.
If he had not relied on the clan’s foundation, he feared he would have been far left behind by Ye Chu. Thinking of this, Tan Chen could not help but sigh. He had previously wanted to temper himself more at the King realm, so that the benefits of relying on the foundation would be greater. It was only after being defeated by Ye Chu that he gave up this kind of tempering. Thinking about it, he had already lost to Ye Chu.
“This time, I must thank Brother Ye for taking care of Miaotong in the clan!” Tan Chen looked at Ye Chu and smiled, “The clan leader personally said he wanted to thank you properly.”
“Brother Tan and the senior are too polite. Miaotong and I are good friends, so it is only right for me to take care of her.” Ye Chu narrowed his eyes and looked at Tan Chen, saying, “There is no need to be polite about such a small matter. I will take very good care of Miaotong!”
“Thank you, Brother Ye, but this time we will take care of our clan’s holy maiden. We will not trouble Brother Ye!” Tan Chen looked at Ye Chu and smiled.
“It is no trouble! Doing things for Miaotong has never felt like a burden to me.” After Ye Chu finished speaking, he winked at Tan Miaotong.
Tan Miaotong clearly did not expect Ye Chu to speak so boldly in front of Tan Chen and the others. Her pretty face instantly turned a deep crimson. This crimson made people’s hearts tremble and was very captivating. That natural shy beauty made both Ye Chu and Tan Chen somewhat infatuated. She was a lovely girl. She might not have the transcending and stunning beauty of Lin Shixin, nor the myriad charming allure of Bai Qingqing, but she had a refreshing shyness that other women could not match, and her charm was not inferior to Lin Shixin and the others. Just like Bai Xuan’s gentleness, it was absolutely something Lin Shixin and the others could not compare to.
Tan Chen’s eye twitched, and several disciples behind him also had anger surging on their faces, but they were stopped by Tan Chen, who said, “Brother Ye is truly polite, then I will thank Brother Ye on behalf of Miaotong. However, this time we came, the clan leader repeatedly reminded us to bring Miaotong home. It is a waste of Brother Ye’s good intentions! This is also for Miaotong’s sake, after all, she is very unsafe outside.”
“I am very safe!” Tan Miaotong spoke up at this time, “Brother Tan Chen, go back and tell my father. When my father stops making me go on blind dates with that person, then I will go back!”
“Miaotong, you…” Tan Chen called out, not expecting the usually obedient and gentle Miaotong to be so strong willed at this moment.
“Brother Tan Chen does not want me to marry him either, right?” Tan Miaotong looked at Tan Chen with burning eyes, water rippling in her gaze, very bright and clear.
Tan Chen naturally did not want Tan Miaotong to marry that person. He had always loved this wonderful girl. However, he could not change what the entire clan had decided.
Previously, the elders in the clan sent the older generation of strong experts to forcibly take Tan Miaotong back. It was precisely to take care of Tan Miaotong that he volunteered to lead the team.
“What the clan leader and others have decided, neither you nor I have the power to change!” Tan Chen sighed, “Even if you do not go back, what is the use?”
Tan Miaotong suddenly blinked and said to Tan Chen, “Just pretend you have not seen me, wouldn’t that be fine!”
Looking at the cunning Tan Miaotong, Tan Chen felt a surge of pity. He glanced at the many disciples beside him and only then said, “Impossible! Unless I am powerless to take you away, otherwise I must take you with me!”
“Ye Chu! Let us go!” Tan Miaotong ignored Tan Chen, pulled Ye Chu, and walked upwards.
Ye Chu smiled at Tan Miaotong, then looked at Tan Chen and shrugged, saying, “I am sorry, Miaotong is unwilling to go with you, so I will naturally protect her. It is very simple for you to take her away. If she is willing, I will naturally let her go. But if she is unwilling, it is useless no matter who comes. You cannot take her away!”
“Brother Ye just opposed a holy land, are you going to oppose my Tan family as well?” Tan Chen looked at Ye Chu and said, “I really cannot rest assured with Miaotong following you. The people of Bu Luo Mountain are probably chasing and killing you all over the world.”
“But I am living perfectly well, yet many people from Bu Luo Mountain have died!” Ye Chu said to Tan Chen, “Of course, I am not afraid of Bu Luo Mountain, and I certainly will not be afraid of your Tan family!”
Ye Chu’s words made the group of disciples behind Tan Chen furious. Someone suddenly stepped forward, wanting to make a move against Ye Chu.
“All of you, stop!” Tan Chen shouted angrily, “At the Female Saint’s Holy Cliff, it is not your turn to lay a finger on anyone!”
Only after this sentence did the group of people suppress their reluctance. This place was the Holy Cliff. If they made a move here, those devout believers would probably pounce and surround to kill them.
No one dared to easily provoke the devout believers of the Red Dust Female Saint, let alone the holy land itself!
