't expect such a dangerous situation to be resolved so easily. All three members of the Huajian School sat heavily on the ground.The previous consumption was quite significant, with the three of them..."No! Sit-u Changkong, I'm telling you, no matter what, I have to give my grandson back his face today. No one can stop me. As a member of the Huo family, how can we be bullied by a younger generation just like that!"

Huo Dongping, enraged to the extreme, completely lost his temper. Situ Changkong and An Daoquan exchanged worried glances. If this old man insisted on doing something, there was nothing they could do to stop him.

But with Ye Bufan's current cultivation, he would be unable to withstand a Heavenly Emperor Realm expert in any way and would likely suffer heavy losses.

And just then, the butler rushed in from outside.

"Two elders, someone has come to challenge us."

Sistr Changkong turned back and glanced: "What's going on"

The steward said urgently, "It's people from Yunchia Mountain. They've sent someone over to issue a challenge."

Hearing this news, both Ando and Quan felt a sinking feeling in their hearts. They hadn't finished dealing with the matter here, and trouble had come again on that side.

Ho Dongping's two words seemed to calm him down. He stopped in his tracks and no longer rushed to go out.

Sītù Chángkōng said, "Let him in."

Although he didn't want to be enemies with Yunxia Mountain from the bottom of his heart, this was something he couldn't avoid, and he had to face it.

Soon, a middle-aged man in a long robe walked in from outside, his expression revealing anger and arrogance.

"Guan Ping, a disciple of Yunxia Mountain, has come to discuss tactics. Who is in charge here"

Sithu Changkong and An Daoquan looked at each other, and finally he stepped forward: "I am!"

Guan Ping said: "The junior Ye Bufan bullied my disciples on Yunxia Mountain. Tomorrow at noon, on Yānbó Lake, we will decide the victor and the vanquished, life or death."

If you dare not come, do not blame me for Yunchia Mountain disregarding the rules of the martial world and exterminating your entire clan!

"The Xuanyuan Pavilion assisted the tyrant and harmed the innocent, so they should all be treated as enemies."

After saying that, he pulled out a battle scroll and slapped it onto the table beside him with a resounding thud before striding away.

"This..."

Sima Changkong hesitated for a moment, walked over and took the battle scroll into his hands. The content on it was exactly the same as what Guan Ping had just said, except that there were three powerful characters written below - Hong Sihai.

"What, Hong Sihai, it's him, he's still alive"

The others didn't feel anything about these characters, but Huo Dongping beside them let out a cry of surprise.

Ando Quan asked in surprise, "Palace Master, do you know this person"

"Of course I know him, we fought a hundred years ago. We were both young then, at the Earth Tier level. That battle was evenly matched, neither of us won."

I originally thought that Yunxia Mountain had fallen, and that old monsters like them were already dead, but I didn't expect them to still be alive.

He was at least as powerful back then as I am now. By this estimation, he should be at the Imperial Realm at the very least by now."

Ho Dongping's expression had changed slightly as he spoke. He had originally thought that the Yunxia Mountain sect, such a secluded and hidden sect, was already in decline. However, the appearance of Hong Sihai changed his view; it seemed that things were not as simple as he had imagined.

And what he just said wasn't entirely true. Back then, he did fight Hong Sihai, but in the end, he lost by a hair.

"What, an Emperor Realm expert"

Sithu Changkong and Ando Quan both drew a sharp breath, their faces as pale as paper.

If only Martial Saint-level experts had come, Ye Bufan might have been able to cope, but he didn't expect that the other party had actually sent someone from the Imperial Realm.

It's clear that Yúnxiá Mountain is serious this time.

They were only at the Heavenly Rank, a hundred thousand miles away from the Emperor Realm. They couldn't help but feel despair.

Then they remembered Huo Dongping beside them and hurriedly said, "Palace Master, Yunxia Mountain is so arrogant, the Heavenly Palace cannot just ignore this!"

"You are right. As the master of the Heavenly Palace, I cannot stand idly by. Although the palace master is still in seclusion, I can mediate and persuade Yunxia Mountain to withdraw."

Although he was defeated a hundred years ago, after so many years of training, Huo Dongping is confident that he will not lose to Hong Sihai again.

And behind him was the Heavenly Palace, surely Yúnxiá Mountain wouldn't disrespect him like that.

As for forcibly suppressing Mount Yunxia by force, he didn't have the guts or the strength to do so.

Upon hearing Huo Dongping's words, Situ Changkong and the others let out a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, they had reacted in time and called for reinforcements from Tiangong.

Before the two of them could even finish celebrating, Huo Dongping spoke again: "I am willing to help, but before that, I must settle the matter of my grandson being humiliated."

"This..."

"Master Huo, you are magnanimous. Please don't hold a grudge against this junior."

Andaoquan followed up, saying: "That's right, Palace Master. Ye Bufan is just a junior. It's not befitting your status to argue with him."

Ho Dongping sneered, "You're right, it would be a shame for an elder like me to take action against a junior. Of course, others will step in."

Tell Ye Bufan to come here immediately and kneel before me, apologize, and then cut off his own arms. Only then will I take action and help persuade Yunxiashan. Otherwise, he can just wait for death. "This..."

Andaoquan and the other person's expressions changed drastically. They didn't expect Huo Dongping to make such a request. Yi Ye Fan's personality would definitely not agree.

Situ Changkong said: "Brother, it's Tian Gong's responsibility to restrict hidden sects. You shouldn't do this."

"Be quiet!" Huo Dongping's face turned completely dark. "Sima Changkong, have you forgotten who you are How dare you point fingers at how I do things."

"Before, I was polite to you because of the engagement between our families. But now, your granddaughter has acted so disrespectfully, injuring my grandson like this. Then don't blame me for not showing mercy."

"I..."

Even Situ Changkong didn't expect the other party to turn their face so quickly, but in terms of status, they were the deputy palace master of Tiangong, and in terms of cultivation, they were a Huangjing powerhouse. Either way, they had him completely outmatched.

An Daoquan said: "Palace Master, public is public, and private is private. I think these two things should be handled separately."

If we allow Yunchia Mountain to run rampant in the mortal realm, it would surely damage the Heavenly Palace's prestige. When the Palace Master returns, you wouldn't be able to explain yourself.

"Are you putting the palace master above me"

Huo Dongping's aura suddenly erupted, and under the pressure of a royal realm powerhouse, Situ Changkong was pressed down so hard that they couldn't even resist.

Luckily, he only made one move and immediately withdrew his momentum.

Even so, the two of them seemed to have gone through a life-or-death ordeal, with not a shred of energy left in their bodies.

Huo Dongping said coldly: "I will handle the matter of Yunxia Mountain myself. Before that, if Ye Bufan doesn't agree to my terms, then we can wait until after the Yanbo Lake battle."

At this point, both Situ Changkong and the other person are also helpless. Originally, they wanted to use the authority of the Heavenly Palace to pressure Huo Dongping, but now it seems completely impossible.

After all, there is no time limit for this kind of thing. Even if people drag it until after the Smoke Wave Lake War, there's nothing wrong with that. However, if that happens, Ye Bufan will be in danger.

"Go and tell that boy, I'm waiting for him here. If he doesn't come, don't expect me to lend a hand. He can just die."

He Dongping's words were filled with confidence. Now that Yunxiashan was advancing aggressively, led by the Great Elder Hong Sihai himself.

In this situation, if he didn't take action himself, the other party would have no way out. Under the pressure of a powerful figure from the Huangjing realm, Ye Bufan could only bow his head.

(Everyone, happy holidays! I can't do more than that, but I can keep updating!)stead of dying, it transformed into two equally sized centipedes.This thing swung its massive pincers left and right once again, charging forward."Surprisingly, he didn't die. That's kind of interesti...
