"When Lin Qian and the others returned, they learned something—Ye Nanxin had been challenged."
"The challenger was naturally the grandson of the Third Elder, Lan Yi, who had been rejected by Lan Fenger."
"At that time, many from the Star Sky Blue Phoenix Clan had gathered around the battle platform, watching the duel between the two."
"On the platform, Ye Nanxin and Lan Yi kept colliding, and to everyone's surprise, the latter was completely being suppressed."
"By the time Lin Qian arrived at the edge of the battle platform, the challenging duel had already begun."
"And when he reached the side of the platform, Lan Ning and others were also quietly present, standing among the crowd, silently watching the situation on the platform."
"Ye Nanxin on the battle platform was majestic, his whole body bathed in blazing flames."
"The aura emanating from him fiercely suppressed Lan Yi, who was unable to resist this force."
"And in his eyes, there was also a full display of fear. The kind of being Lan Fenger's husband was not a secret in the Star Sky Blue Phoenix Clan, as he had gathered quite a bit of information."
"Because Lan Fenger had never thought to hide her husband's background."
"Thus, everyone in the Star Sky Blue Phoenix Clan knew that Lan Fenger's husband was but a common man from a remote land of the Human Clan."
"This was also why Lan Yi challenged Ye Nanxin, despite his own inferior aptitude and weaker realm among his peers. He knew that his opponent shouldn't be a match for him."
"But when they crossed hands, he was shocked to find that the opponent's realm was no different from his own. During the fight, he was even relentlessly suppressed."
"Ah!" On the battle platform, Lan Yi, unwilling to concede, roared angrily, his blue Stellar Soul Energy transforming into burning swords, continuously thrusting towards Ye Nanxin."
"However, Ye Nanxin on the same battle platform, faced with Lan Yi's rapid onslaught of Starry Sky Sword Qi, did neither dodge nor evade."
"Below the platform, Lin Qian, without any trace of worry and instead shaking his head lightly, said, 'The gap is too big!'"
"As Lin Qian's words fell, the Starry Sky Power that formed the burning sword qi pierced towards Ye Nanxin's body."
"At that moment, many of the Star Sky Blue Phoenix Clan members couldn't bear to continue watching."
"However, contrary to their expectations, the image of Ye Nanxin being penetrated by thousands of Starry Sky Power sword qi didn't materialize."
"Instead, each beam of sword qi formed by the Starry Sky Power burst upon touching Ye Nanxin's body, transforming into specks of flame light that dissipated into thin air."
"This sight shocked the observers of the Star Sky Blue Phoenix Clan gathered around."
"Ye Nanxin stood still, taking Lan Yi's offensive without a scratch?"
"Despite both being at the First Level of the Qi Refining Realm, the disparity in strength was immediately clear."
"At that moment, they also put aside their disdain for Ye Nanxin, marveling instead."
"Moreover, at that time, they finally realized that the aura emanating from his body was subtly suppressing theirs."
"It seems, your son-in-law is no ordinary man," Lan Zhi, who had followed to watch the battle below, remarked as he looked up at the scene, marveling at Lan Yi beside him, "Although his current realm isn't exceedingly strong, it's apparent that his future achievements will be remarkable."
"It's really bizarre, first Lin Qian and now this son-in-law; the people your family attracts are truly exceptional," Lan Zhi suddenly realized, finding the situation very intriguing.
Lan Zhi's words, imperceptibly bringing a smile to Lan Yi's face, were indeed true.
On the battlefield above, Ye Nanxin's speed was far faster than Lan Yi's — in a flash, she closed the distance and kicked him to the ground.
Although it was just a simple kick, it was as heavy as a thousand pounds, causing Lan Yi to cover his abdomen, unable to stand, bending his body painfully on the ground like a shrimp.
Looking at Lan Yi on the ground, there wasn't a trace of sympathy in Ye Nanxin's eyes; if her own realm had not advanced, if her good son-in-law hadn't enhanced her qualifications, it might have been she who lay there.
"It's clear, the winner of this match is me." Watching Lan Yi lying on the ground, Ye Nanxin declared her victory with a calm demeanor, turned, and walked down from the battlefield, while the Fiery Flame Soul Energy dissipated from her body.
Above the battlefield, both Fenger and Ye Xin were below; they looked up at Ye Nanxin walking towards them, each wearing a smile.
However, immediately after, their expressions drastically changed, as they spotted Lan Yi, who had unexpectedly stood up off the ground, suddenly brandishing a sharp Soul Device longsword, emitting a dangerous aura, stabbing towards Ye Nanxin.
"Shameless!" Alerted by the noise behind her, Ye Nanxin swiftly turned around, her Soul Device bursting forth again, the Elemental Artifact Heart and Elemental Components reappearing, assuming a combat posture unique to the Human Clan.
Elemental Weapon Armament!
The previously dispersed Elemental Artifact Heart and Elemental Components instantly formed a red longsword, its blade shimmering like flowing magma, exuding intense heat.
Her sword swung down like a volcanic eruption; the scorching Fiery Flame Sword Qi, like bursting sparks, blasted towards Lans Yi's face.
The terrifyingly hot flames, like flowing magma, poured over Lan Yi's body, who immediately let out a wretched scream, his hand unable to steady the sword, which fell to the ground.
At that moment, Ye Nanxin, raging with anger, struck with the force of an infernal monarch, a power too formidable for Lans Yi in blue garb to withstand.
Just then, a great hand formed of Soul Device materialized out of thin air, pulling Lans Yi from the magma-like flames. Furthermore, a forceful Palm Power struck towards Ye Nanxin.
This palm, containing terrifying power, shockingly dispersed the magma-like flames, but the flames surrounding Ye Nanxin couldn't be dissipated.
"Hmm?" This scene clearly surprised the one who had intervened, eliciting a shocked exclamation.
Just then, an invisible surge appeared as Lan Ning's figure abruptly materialized in front of Ye Nanxin.
"How dare you!" Lan Ning, his expression stern, thunderously reprimanded, causing the palm force to violently dissipate; simultaneously, a figure fell from midair onto the battlefield, with Lans Yi landing beside him.
The person who fell was not young, resembling an elder, yet he was enveloped in a remarkable aura.
It was none other than Third Elder Lan Shou, looking unsettled at Lan Ning.
"Lan Yi is my son-in-law; what do you mean by attacking him lethally, disregarding me?" Standing in front of Ye Nanxin, Lan Ning glared darkly at Lan Shou.
Lan Shou's expression fluctuated, and after a moment's stare at Lan Ning, he showed no fear, but instead said coldly, "Lan Ning, the Starry Sky Blue Phoenix Clan has decayed because of you. Can just anyone become our clan's son-in-law? Hmph!"
After speaking, Lan Shou took Lans Yi and left directly, showing no regard for Lan Ning.
This scene caused a stir among everyone, making Lin Qian, who was watching, also filled with puzzlement.
Third Elder Lans Yi dared to confront the Great Elder Lan Ning within the clan? Interesting!
