In contrast, the other branch peaks each had prodigies emerging, from Zhu Wanning of Phoenix Caw Peak and Guo Yourong of Divine Phoenix Peak, to the now suddenly risen Ye Chen and Lin Xiao!
If this continued, the status of Dragon Head Peak as the main peak would likely be lost!
"AHAHAHAHA, I'm greatly indebted to Sect Leader and Martial Nephew Xu for making way! My disciple, Ye Chen, is hardly deserving of such an honor! I'm truly overwhelmed!"
Yuanyi said with a humble expression.
Beside him, Ye Chen, however, was unrestrained, laughing even louder.
Xu Zhengqing's face was grim; he gripped the hilt of his sword, wanting to end his own life!
"Don't do anything foolish! I don't blame you!"
True Master Ziyun quickly shouted to stop him and grasped his disciple's hands.
At this moment, the dejected master and disciple standing with the triumphant Yuanyi and his disciple formed a cruel contrast. Follow current novᴇls on N()velFire.net
Everyone present watched, and sighs of lament could be heard.
"Sigh, Eldest Senior Brother, the Sect Leader looks so pitiful."
Lu Yingying, at his side, tugged Lin Xiao's arm and pouted.
"I'm the pitiful one here! You brat, when... when are you going to let go?! Your Senior Sister Yurong is right here, stop asking for trouble, will you!"
Lin Xiao said, looking utterly speechless.
He had just been carefully recalling the events in the Sword Tomb when this little girl suddenly ambushed him!
"BOO HOO... Yingying just... missed it, that's all."
Lu Yingying looked aggrieved and deactivated the Formless Sword Body.
Lin Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He felt that if he hadn't stopped her in time, this girl would have done something even more outrageous!
After all... last time, this girl had deliberately torn her white silk stockings!
Heaven knows what she was thinking!
Just as Lin Xiao was feeling uneasy, his beautiful Master walked over. "Xiao'er," she said, "I can't stand by and watch this any longer! You go and compete against this Ye Chen. Suppress that little whelp thoroughly!"
Lin Xiao also nodded solemnly.
It seemed only he, the Destiny Big Villain, could suppress this idiotic protagonist.
Lin Xiao shook his head. Just as he was about to step forward, a voice suddenly called out:
"I, Jiang Yuan, have not set foot in the mortal world for sixty years. Did you all truly believe Dragon Head Peak has no one left?!"
This clear and resonant voice sent a tremor through everyone present!
Everyone quickly turned to look. They saw a young man wearing a tattered Daoist robe, his hair disheveled and face grimy, yet his handsome features were still undeniable. He arrived riding the wind by Sword Control, enveloped in an immensely powerful Sword Intent!
"Hey, Old Jiang! Good to see you're alright!"
"If it's you, then... hmm, I can let you have this moment to shine for now!"
Seeing Jiang Yuan appear unharmed, Lin Xiao also felt a wave of relief in his heart.
He wasn't like Ye Chen, that solipsistic Long Aotian.
Jiang Yuan was indeed strong, but he wasn't an enemy.
Come to think of it, during the battle in Canglan City, it was thanks to this person's cover that he had been able to escape with the gravely injured Yurong.
He supposed he owed the man a favor.
"Old Jiang, it's been a while! You've gotten even more handsome."
Seeing Jiang Yuan approach, Lin Xiao took the initiative to greet him.
Jiang Yuan paused for a few seconds, then managed a smile in response, "Junior Brother Lin, good to see you're well."
With that said, his figure flashed, and he appeared beside Ye Chen, his eyes as sharp as lightning. "Junior Brother Ye," he said, his voice laced with ice, "I see you're doing well too!"
To everyone's surprise, when faced with this eldest disciple of Dragon Head Peak, the once incomparably arrogant Chief Disciple of Tiandang Peak, Ye Chen, actually stumbled back repeatedly, finally hiding behind Yuanyi!
"It's him! The man from Canglan City who was on the brink of death!"
"That fellow actually isn't dead!"
"And not only that, he's actually... the legendary Chief Disciple of Dragon Head Peak, Jiang Yuan?"
"So... does that mean he also killed the Great Witch Master of the Ghost Witch Sect?"
Ye Chen was terrified; his body trembled, and he nearly stumbled to the ground.
He felt an immense terror at this moment!
That feeling, the one where it seemed like everyone was targeting him, it was back!
