The roaring sound drew the attention of everyone around.
Everyone turned their gaze this way.
When they saw the aura emanating from Xu Nian's body, each of their faces revealed a trace of astonishment.
A One-star Body King?
And had he really just taken a Three-star Battle King's palm strike head-on and repelled the Three-star Battle King?
Who exactly is this youth?
The people from the Xu Family also showed surprised expressions.
Especially Xu Fenn and Xu Tong, who had mocked Xu Nian earlier; they looked at Xu Nian with disbelief.
Even Xu Long's brows furrowed.
Clearly, the strength that Xu Nian had shown had taken them by surprise.
Xu Xin did not feel surprised by the strength that Xu Nian had displayed.
But Xu Nian's sudden intervention did catch her off-guard.
Of course, the truly surprised ones were naturally the young man and woman from the Ye Family.
Especially the woman, who stared at Xu Nian intently with a particularly unfriendly gaze.
"Who are you? Why are you interfering in the affairs of the Xu and Ye Families?"
The woman asked coldly, her eyes revealing killing intent.
Xu Nian smiled slightly and said to the woman, "Xu Xin is my newly sworn elder sister; if you want to move against her, of course, I must intervene. Also, aren't you looking for the murderer who killed Ye Nantian? I can tell you for sure, Ye Nantian was killed by me."
The crowd around them all showed astonished expressions upon hearing this.
Was this guy admitting he killed a member of the Ye Family right in front of them?
Wasn't that seeking death?
Sure enough, as soon as Xu Nian spoke those words,
not only did the woman start to look at Xu Nian with malice, but the gaze of the young man also became particularly sharp.
Even a middle-aged man standing not far from the young couple stared at Xu Nian with an equally piercing look.
Xu Xin was taken aback and quickly tugged at Xu Nian's arm.
She had not expected Xu Nian to admit to killing Ye Nantian.
She had the protection of the Xu Family; even if the Ye Family knew she was the killer of Ye Nantian,
the Ye Family wouldn't dare to touch her.
But it was different for Xu Nian; he was alone.
In front of so many people, the Ye Family would not let him off easily.
Xu Nian felt Xu Xin's nervousness, turned around with a smile, and said to her, "Don't worry, it's okay. Since I dared to admit it, I'm not afraid of the Ye Family in the slightest."
Xu Xin heard this, paused for a moment,
but eventually nodded and did not speak further.
However, she had already decided in her heart that if the Ye Family were to make a move against Xu Nian,
she would ensure she responded first, and that would involve the Xu Family as well.
However, the crowd around them was shaken upon hearing Xu Nian's words.
"Who is this youth? To not even regard the Ye Family, isn't this courting death?" An Elder from the Artifact Refining Sect shook his head while looking at Xu Nian.
Yann Hong also scrutinized Xu Nian, and upon hearing the Elder next to her, she turned back and glared at the Elder.
"Are you saying the Sect Master is courting death?" Yann Hong said angrily.
"What? He is..." The Elder's eyes widened, showing an extremely horrified expression.
The other two Elders were also utterly shocked; Yann Hong's words were simply too startling.
Yann Hong, seeing the shocked expressions of the three Elders beside her, showed a trace of a seductive yet cold smile.
"Tell me, under the heavens, other than our Young Sect Master, who else do you think could reach the One-star Body King Realm before the age of eighteen? And moreover, to be able to compete with a Three-star Battle King without falling behind, how many could there be?" Yann Hong said with a smile.
The three Elders, upon hearing this, pondered for a moment before nodding deeply in agreement.
Apart from their Sect Master, that exceptional leader, who else could accomplish this?
After Yann Hong finished speaking, he looked back at Xu Nian, a playful smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, "Little Ancestor, it seems you indeed have quite a few beauties by your side! To be so boldly enraged for a beauty's sake, quite majestic!"
The young men and women of the Ye Family all stared at Xu Nian with extremely unfriendly eyes.
This guy actually said he doesn't fear our Ye Family in the slightest, isn't that a bit too arrogant?
"Kid, I don't care who you are, since you've killed someone from our Ye Family, you must pay with your life," the young man coldly snorted, and then a Five-Star Battle King's aura explosively released, pressing down on Xu Nian.
The woman also released an aura of a Three-Star Battle King Level, her eyes full of killing intent.
Xu Nian smiled slightly, his gaze showing no fear.
He planned to summon the Black Dog from the Demon Beast Ring and fight a battle to the death with these people from the Ye Family.
As long as he could protect his sister, he would spare no cost.
"Ye Chengyu, Ye Nantian attacked me by surprise, and he saved me. If you dare to lay a hand on him, I, Xu Xin, will fight you to the death," Xu Xin stepped forward and said coldly.
"Fine, since that's the case, I'll kill you too," Ye Chengyu coldly huffed.
Having said that, he was ready to make his move.
"Hmph, Ye Chengyu, do you really think our Xu Family has no one left? If you dare to touch Xu Xin, our Xu Family will definitely not let you go," simultaneously, the voice of Xu Long sounded.
Following that, three young members of the Xu Family approached, also emitting a strong aura.
As for Xu Tian, he was confronting an Elder from the Ye Family, both sides restraining each other.
Ye Chengyu and Ye Lan's brows furrowed.
With the addition of the three from the Xu Family, their situation had suddenly turned very unfavorable.
If a real fight were to happen, even with his Five-Star Battle King's cultivation, he definitely wouldn't have the slightest advantage.
Thereby, the atmosphere on the scene became extremely tense.
But it was no longer possible to erupt.
Since the Ye Family couldn't gain the slightest advantage and were instead at a disadvantage,
was there any point in continuing the fight?
Moreover, the Demon Emperor's Tomb hadn't even opened yet.
If they used their trump cards now, they wouldn't have any advantage in the subsequent struggle for treasures.
"Hmph, boy, don't give us a chance, or I will make sure you wish you were dead," Ye Chengyu coldly snorted and then angrily swept his sleeve and left.
The woman named Ye Lan also glared fiercely at Xu Nian,
then turned and walked away.
Xu Nian, seeing this scene, couldn't help but feel amused.
He had been ready to fight to the death, and yet it had amounted to nothing.
But then again, if the Emperor's Tomb hadn't opened yet,
nobody would want to reveal their true trump cards.
However, this incident was extremely disadvantageous for Xu Nian.
He, who had been standing in the shadows, had been pushed directly into the eye of the storm.
And now, the Fang Family would also start to doubt him.
But he didn't regret it in the slightest.
"Lin Long, thank you!" Xu Xin also understood Xu Nian's sacrifice and expressed her gratitude.
"You don't need to say thanks to me, everything I did was voluntary," Xu Nian said with a smile.
Xu Xin nodded and said no more.
"I really didn't expect you to hide your capabilities so well, it seems we've all been blind," Xu Tong and the others approached from a distance, the speaker being Xu Tong himself.
His eyes carried a mocking light.
As for Xu Long, his gaze was extremely cold.
Xu Nian, seeing this scene, knew that as one wave subsided, another rose.
