Those young men born into privilege watched as Li Hun was forced to retreat, their faces filled with disbelief. In their eyes, Li Hun was an invincible figure…
Yet such a person had actually been driven back by a pretty boy. Naturally, they were extremely shocked. But at this moment, not one of them dared to utter a word, because, including Cheng Ying, these were people they simply could not provoke.
“It’s simple to deal with you!”
Xiao Yufan remained as calm as ever, as if nothing had happened, yet the coldness in his eyes sent a chill down everyone’s spine.
“Your strength indeed qualifies you to say that. However, if it were someone else, you wouldn’t even have the chance to speak!”
Li Hun’s lips twitched violently. Yet at this moment, he was powerless to suppress Xiao Yufan’s arrogant air. The more powerless he felt, the more determined his murderous intent became. If they met again at the mysterious place in the South Sea, he would definitely not hold back anymore.
“Pity, I’m not someone you can just push around. If you don’t want to lose here before entering the mysterious place in the South Sea, then scram!”
One bad apple spoils the barrel. Because of Li Hun’s presence, Xiao Yufan had developed a distaste for the entire Divine Temple of Four Directions. If they fought again, he wouldn’t mind making this guy leave something behind.
Li Hun’s face turned dark with anger, but he merely snorted coldly without saying another word, and turned to walk away.
At this moment, he knew he couldn’t gain any advantage, but he remembered every bit of resentment clearly. During the trip to the mysterious place in the South Sea, he would definitely make Xiao Yufan pay it all back. No one had ever dared to act recklessly over him, Li Hun!
Even if Xiao Yufan was close to the Azure Spirit Hall and possibly connected to the Nine Palaces, it still wouldn’t stop his killing intent!
The other few young men also dared not stay any longer and slunk away in disgrace. Just moments ago, when Cheng Ying took action, they had been left in shock. Staying would only mean asking for more punishment.
Watching Li Hun leave, Xiao Yufan’s narrow eyes narrowed slightly, resembling a resting old fox. Though resting, he constantly exuded a sense of danger.
Killing Li Hun—apart from whether Xiao Yufan could actually do it—he also had to consider the Divine Temple of Four Directions’ reaction. A young powerhouse in the Primordial Realm was no doubt a rare gem even among the top three temples!
If it had come to a life-or-death battle today, Xiao Yufan would have had a seventy percent chance of taking Li Hun’s life. After all, if the latter had hidden cards, how could he himself not have any? But what then?
The Divine Temple of Four Directions might even go to war with the Heavenly Alliance over Li Hun. The ancient martial arts world was already chaotic enough. Although Xiao Yufan wasn’t a saint, he didn’t want to give opportunists a chance to take advantage at this time.
The only place to vent his frustration was naturally the mysterious place in the South Sea. Once inside, whatever he did would be much easier. Since that guy had appeared here, he had obviously come for the mysterious place in the South Sea. Xiao Yufan wasn’t worried about finding an opportunity.
“Was I wrong to let him go so easily…?”
Soon, Xiao Yufan’s gaze shifted from the disappearing figure to the perfect, alluring figure beside him, his icy eyes softening slightly.
“If I had really attacked, I could have definitely taken down this guy from the Divine Temple of Four Directions. But what followed would probably be very difficult. Although Li Hun’s strength isn’t the strongest among the young generation of the Four Directions Temple, he is the grandson of the temple’s Grand Elder. His status is naturally no small matter. So, Brother Fan’s decision was absolutely correct!”
In fact, Cheng Ying hadn’t expected Xiao Yufan to make such a wise choice. A few years ago, this man still had some youthful recklessness, but now he had become increasingly mature.
“The grandson of the Grand Elder of the Divine Temple of Four Directions—what a title to boast about! Why at a time like this, do all sorts of ghosts and monsters pop up!”
Xiao Yufan frowned. He had guessed Li Hun’s identity wasn’t simple, but he hadn’t expected him to hold such a high position within the Divine Temple of Four Directions. If that were the case, entering the mysterious place in the South Sea would surely lead to conflict.
“Relics from the previous ancient martial arts era—even the most secretive forces in China couldn’t resist such temptation, let alone the Divine Temples. What you’re seeing now, Fan Ge, is merely the tip of the iceberg.”
Cheng Ying smiled, her lips curving into a beautiful smile, but behind her beautiful eyes lay a layer of frost. If Li Hun dared to target her man in the mysterious place in the South Sea, she wouldn’t mind ensuring he never left.
Cheng Ying believed she had that kind of strength!
“The most secretive forces?” Xiao Yufan quickly caught the subtle implications. If Cheng Ying said that, did it mean there were even more secretive forces in China than the Divine Temples?
“Just be cautious, Fan Ge. Everyone who enters through the passage into the mysterious place has the same goal: to obtain the inheritance within. So, no one there will be your friend!”
Her beautiful eyes blinked slightly, and Cheng Ying quickly changed the subject, though a glimpse of wisdom still flickered in Xiao Yufan’s sight…
Xiao Yufan found himself slightly unable to fully understand this girl. During the years they had been apart, perhaps there were many secrets between them that neither knew, but he knew that Ying Er wasn’t deliberately hiding anything from him.
“As long as my woman stays by my side, even if ahead lies a mountain of blades or a sea of fire, I’m confident I can break through!”
Placing his hand on her soft waist, Xiao Yufan chuckled.
“You’re always like that, always saying sweet things. Who knows what pretty girls you might meet there? Sister Yanran and Sister Xian’er even asked me to keep a close eye on you!”
Her tempting lips curved into a slight arc, her moon-like eyes brimming with intoxicating charm, though her voice still carried a hint of girlish shyness.
“No matter how beautiful other women are, they will pale in comparison to our Ying Er. So, there’s absolutely no need to worry about me falling for someone else!”
Xiao Yufan didn’t want to accumulate too many emotional entanglements. Dividing his feelings among so many women was already unfair to the ones he loved. He knew when to stop. Now that Ying Er was back by his side, what else could he possibly ask for?
“Is that so? Then why do I feel that the girl ranked among the top ten in the Ancient Martial Arts Tournament looked at you differently?”
As a woman herself, Cheng Ying had naturally noticed Wang Yuxuan first among the ten, and she could sense that this pretty little sister seemed to have a special interest in this man…
