"What!"
Upon hearing this, the old man looked at Su Han in shock. After all, in his eyes, sparing Su Han this time was already a great kindness. Yet, this brat actually didn't appreciate it at all and directly challenged him to a one-on-one fight.
Su Han shrugged and asked, "Is there a problem?"
The old man shook his head and chuckled coldly, "Good kid, I forgot to tell you, I am one of the inner sect elders, already standing at the peak of the Emperor Realm's mid-stage. And you, a mere novice, dare to cause trouble for me? You must be tired of living!"
After a burst of shouting, the old man spoke with conviction, but his actions were quite telling!
As he spoke, he kept an eye on his escape route, intending to flee at any moment!
Seeing this, Su Han immediately made his move!
"Where do you think you're going? Today, either you die or I live. If we don't settle this, don't even think about leaving this place!"
As expected!
The moment Su Han made his move, Xie Longsan immediately dashed towards the window on the side and broke through it to escape.
Before leaving, he left a message in the air.
"Kid, you wait for me. I, Xie Longsan, have suffered a loss this time, and I will definitely come back to get even!"
Su Han smiled faintly, completely unconcerned. After all, he now possessed the Thousand Miles Landscape Painting. Even if he were discovered, it wouldn't matter.
He could simply change his face!
As for the others, they could all hide within his Thousand Miles Landscape Painting. Only the matter of the Ye Clan needed to be handled quickly.
"Hmm... I really didn't expect that old fellow to run so fast. I'm not afraid of him, but to run away the moment we meet, what kind of behavior is that?" Su Han was somewhat perplexed.
Nangong Yan, who was beside him, immediately said, "This old scoundrel only likes to bully the weak and fear the strong. He saw that your strength was formidable, so he didn't dare to fight you. It's not anything else, he's just a coward... But we don't need to worry too much. I know this Elder Xie well; he generally doesn't talk about things that make him lose face!"
Su Han could only let the matter rest!
Then, he looked at the two sisters beside him and was filled with joy. It seemed that after drinking the essence of life, the two sisters had recovered significantly.
"Xue Ling, Xue Yuan, you owe your rescue this time to Nangong's help. Without her, it would have taken me a lot of effort to find you!" Su Han said.
Upon hearing this, the two sisters from the Xue Clan immediately bowed deeply, intending to kowtow to Nangong Yan. After all, if Nangong Yan hadn't come this time, the two of them might have truly met a tragic end. Nangong Yan had successfully bought them time, allowing Su Han to arrive.
The group left the Drunken Immortal Tower and quickly departed from the Spirit Realm City.
Subsequently.
Su Han, alone, collected everyone into the Thousand Miles Landscape Painting and then embarked on his journey to the Ye Clan.
For the Ye Clan, these were extremely difficult times. Ye Wushuang's breakthrough had attracted the attention of the Holy Altar. From now on, any further progress would be incredibly difficult.
At this moment, looking at Ye Lingshan, who was beside him with a worried expression, Su Han immediately comforted her, "Lingshan, you don't need to worry too much about this matter. Haven't we dealt with seven or eight elders before? I don't think any elder in the Ye Clan, no matter how powerful, can be that formidable..."
However, at this moment, Ye Lingshan said, "No! Su Han, you don't know. Among the elders of the Ye Clan, there is one who is in the late stage of the Emperor Realm. His strength has surpassed many inner sect elders, and he is not someone we can deal with..."
Although anxious about her brother, Ye Lingshan was also very helpless. After all, an elder in the late stage of the Emperor Realm was an incredibly terrifying existence. She didn't want Su Han and his group to risk their lives for her family's affairs.
Seeing this, Su Han chuckled and said, "No rush. Since we can't attack directly, we'll use our wits. Who says a guy in the late stage of the Emperor Realm is always on guard? What do you all think?"
Upon hearing this.
The few people around who understood Su Han's character burst into laughter.
Nangong Yan said, "That's exactly right. Since we can't confront them head-on, we'll use our wits. I, Nangong Yan, am also an outer sect elder of the Holy Altar. This elder's token might be of some use. Let's sneak in first and see the situation!"
The others all agreed that this time they would go to the Ye Clan and planned to infiltrate stealthily.
This suggestion was quickly approved by everyone!
Finally, everyone decided to let Nangong Yan, a new face, pose as a singer and, carrying the Thousand Miles Landscape Painting, sneak into the Ye Clan's imperial palace under the guise of a performance.
...
Three days later, the Ye Clan.
In the main hall, an old man's brows were tightly furrowed. This person was the Ye Clan's Emperor. After a lifetime of turmoil, he never expected to encounter such a major event at the end of his reign.
Looking at the several great Buddhas below, the old Ye Clan Emperor sighed!
It was one thing for these elders from the Holy Cult to stay and monitor, but they were indulging in daily revelry and squandering money. They spent their days drinking and listening to music, and then listening to music and drinking. This made the old Ye Clan Emperor somewhat overwhelmed, and he even dozed off on the platform.
"Alas, Your Majesty, this can't go on like this. These elders are all arrogant, and the ordinary singers we find are not good enough..."
"Yes, Your Majesty. We've gone through one after another, and there's no one left. In less than three days, we definitely won't be able to maintain this!"
The old Ye Clan Emperor wore a bitter expression!
After all, he knew that the strength of the elders before him was such that a single mistake could lead to the annihilation of the Ye Clan. Offending them was simply courting death!
But these elders showed no restraint whatsoever, insisting on a new one every day!
As for Ye Wushuang, who had just been promoted to the Emperor Realm, his situation was even more miserable. Not only was he forced to accompany them daily, but after listening to a piece of music, he was also tested on his knowledge of music. This back and forth made it impossible for him to avoid listening.
"Damn it! What's so good about this damn music? I've just entered the Emperor Realm, and it's the time when I need to cultivate and consolidate. They drag me here to listen to music, I don't know what their intentions are!"
Ye Wushuang was also becoming impatient. However, in the hall, an elder glanced at him askance.
He chuckled and said, "Young friend, you are young and prone to impatience. I am letting you listen to music daily to temper your character. What do you think?"
Ye Wushuang, standing beside him, immediately replied, "Elder Sun, I truly thank you. Actually, I think if I could have a quiet place to cultivate wholeheartedly, it would be the best time to calm my mind and temper my character!"
