Chapter 1208: Battle Against Three Clan Leaders
Plans will never keep up with changes.
No matter how thorough the plan, you can’t predict the unknown.
The moment it was said that the Vermilion Bird Clan was going to use Ye Lianyi as a bargaining chip to rope in the Cyan Dragon Clan, the atmosphere in the entire dueling arena changed in an instant.
Everyone felt a powerful, icy aura rapidly spreading into every corner of the arena.
Liu Zixuan’s eyes turned frigid and cruel as he suddenly fixed his gaze on Clan Leader Ye of the Vermilion Bird Clan: "That day, for the sake of your own selfish interests, you had Ripple’s mother killed, and then tried to wipe Ripple out as well. Now that you’ve learned Ripple didn’t die and has awakened her bloodline and grown stronger, you want to turn her into a bargaining chip for even greater profit?"
"Who the hell are you, to have any right to meddle in my Vermilion Bird Clan’s affairs!"
The Clan Leader of the Vermilion Bird Clan was named Ye Changkong!
"Who am I?"
Liu Zixuan let out a cold laugh. "I’m the Liu Zixuan you lot call a pretty boy living off the Jiang Family! And at the same time, I’m Ye Lianyi’s man!"
"What!"
As soon as those words came out, the whole place exploded!
Liu Zixuan’s name in the Martial Realm was absolutely resounding. Friends who knew him admired him; people who knew of him feared him; and those clueless idiots—like the crowd from the Four Symbols Sect—treated him as nothing more than a kept pretty boy living off the Jiang Family.
But that was the story from before, because just now, the "pretty boy" in their eyes not only displayed strength that defied belief, he even defeated the Four Symbols Sect’s top genius.
So now, is there anyone who still dares say he’s living off a woman?
Ye Changkong’s expression shifted. "I did think you looked familiar before. Seems I really was careless. I didn’t expect you’d dare come to our Four Symbols Sect!"
"So what if I came?"
Liu Zixuan’s figure paused, his whole body standing in midair. He slowly stepped forward, and in a blink he was right in front of Ye Changkong. "I wanted to settle this peacefully, but what you’ve done is way too much!"
"What, you think you can run wild in our Four Symbols Sect?" Ye Changkong sneered, but still shot a glance at Bai Hongtu beside him.
After all, Liu Zixuan was brought into the Four Symbols Sect by Bai Hongtu.
Bai Hongtu’s face flushed red. "You lied to me!"
"Yes, I lied to you. And I did it on purpose." Liu Zixuan’s gaze swept past the two clan leaders, then turned to the Clan Leader of the Cyan Dragon Clan. "And you? Want to take this chance to avenge the two brothers Long Angzhan and Long Angxiong?"
What did that mean?
Aside from Wu Zheng of the Black Tortoise Clan, was Liu Zixuan really planning to take on the clan leaders of all three other families of the Four Symbols Sect?
For a moment, all the Martial Artists present showed a trace of disdain in their eyes.
Liu Zixuan indeed didn’t look like the rumored pretty boy, and he did have some shocking strength.
But for him to say such arrogant crap in front of the three clan leaders of the Four Symbols Sect—wasn’t that just plain stupid?
You have to know, those three clan leaders were all top-tier experts of the Innate Emperor Realm Third Heaven. Liu Zixuan was nothing more than a genius at the Innate Emperor Realm Second Heaven.
Long Xiaotian’s eyes flickered. "This old man isn’t someone who takes advantage of others in their weakness, nor do I stoop to bullying with numbers. But the debt of you injuring Ang Zhan and Ang Xiong—I will settle that with you!"
"Then come together." Liu Zixuan slightly shrugged. "I don’t have time to waste chatting with you."
"Has Liu Zixuan gone insane?" Ya Fei stared wide-eyed in shock.
Qiqi stretched out her small hand, placing it over Ya Fei’s jade-like hand. "Don’t worry."
"How can I not worry? Those three are all experts at the Innate Emperor Realm Third Heaven. Even if Liu Zixuan has some trump cards, there’s no way he can withstand the fury of three such experts!" Ya Fei said, already about to stand up and rush forward.
After all, she was representing the Alliance of the World. With such a powerful backing behind her, she believed the Four Symbols Sect shouldn’t dare make things too hard.
But before she could rise, Qiqi grabbed her. "My brother doesn’t like other people interfering in his matters."
"But..."
"No buts." Qiqi said it with firm certainty.
Ya Fei took a deep breath. "I really don’t know what kind of stunt you siblings are trying to pull! Are you not afraid of dying?"
Qiqi’s lips slowly curled up as she smiled lightly. "Brother will handle all this. It’s just a Four Symbols Sect, that’s all."
A strange look appeared between Ya Fei’s brows. Inwardly, she wondered whether Liu Zixuan and Qiqi were just arrogant beyond measure, or if they really had some terrifying trump card.
Either way, she was still worried.
Long Xiaotian glared at Liu Zixuan for a moment, then turned to look at Wu Zheng. "What I promised you, I will do. But today I must teach this brat a lesson!"
Wu Zheng sighed and looked at Liu Zixuan. "The Cyan Dragon Clan has already agreed to help defend the Yudou Treasure for the Martial Realm. Why must you push things to this point?"
The fact that the Cyan Dragon Clan had agreed to guard the Yudou Treasure together with the Black Tortoise Clan, Liu Zixuan had already guessed. Previously, when the Black Tortoise Clan sent their Second Elder to fight so casually, that had already confirmed it.
But right now Liu Zixuan didn’t bring up the matter of the Yudou Treasure at all. This was purely rage over Ye Lianyi.
Since this mainly involved the Cyan Dragon Clan and the Vermilion Bird Clan, he wasn’t planning on letting either of them off. As for the White Tiger Clan, that depended on whether Bai Hongtu had enough sense. If he wanted to fight too, Liu Zixuan didn’t mind having one more enemy.
"Why?"
Liu Zixuan’s icy gaze swept over the clan leaders of the other three families. "Because rotten, stubborn things deserve to be eliminated."
"Impudent! We three clan leaders stand at the Peak of the Star Sea Martial Realm—how can we allow a junior like you to insult us!" Ye Changkong barked.
"Hmph, Peak of the Martial Realm my ass. If you truly saw yourselves as the Peak, as people of the Star Sea Martial Realm, would you really hand over the keys just to save your own skins? Would you really be willing to turn Ripple into a mere bargaining chip for your own selfish gain?"
"Don’t make it sound so righteous. In the end, it’s all just because of that dead girl Ye Lianyi. You think you can be the savior of the Star Sea Martial Realm?" Ye Changkong cursed mockingly.
"I’ve never seen myself as any savior, and I’ve never claimed some great righteousness. But at the very least, I still have humanity." Liu Zixuan’s tone shifted. "You’re right, I’m doing this because of Ye Lianyi. So, make your move."
"With just your Innate Emperor Realm Second Heaven, you want to take on the three of us clan leaders at the Innate Emperor Realm Third Heaven alone?" Long Xiaotian laughed derisively. "You’re impressive among elders and disciples, but against us, I’m afraid you won’t be able to withstand even a single move from any one of us."
"Oh, really?"
Liu Zixuan’s lips quirked slightly, and his aura suddenly surged.
In the blink of an eye, the Realm of Innate Emperor Realm Third Heaven unfolded openly before everyone.
"He was hiding his strength!"
"To think a youth just over twenty has already reached Innate Emperor Realm Third Heaven. No wonder he’s so cocky."
With the crowd’s chatter ringing in his ears, Liu Zixuan slowly lifted his deep, dark gaze. "Is this enough now?"
