Jiang Tianhai felt completely dazed.

He looked at the young man on the stage, then at the terrified and awe-inspiring eyes of the people around him, and Mr. Chen's words echoed repeatedly in his mind.

Master Ye...slayed a celestial being with a single sword at Qixia Mountain...and faced the entire Juyue Sect alone...

Every word was like a hammer, slamming into his nerves.

Just now, he actually pointed at the nose of such a powerful being and told him to sever his tendons and get out of there?

A chill rose from his tailbone and instantly spread throughout his body, making his teeth chatter.

It’s over.

He was finished, and so was his second wife.

Having offended such a person, forget about vying for the position of family head; even the survival of the second branch of the Jiang family is in question.

Jiang Tianxiong, who was next to him, looked even worse than him.

The face first turned deathly pale, then ashen, and finally a deathly gray.

He remembered the assassins from the Destiny organization he had sent to kill Ye An.

He remembered that he had just been shouting that he wanted Mr. Chen to subdue this scoundrel.

He even recalled how excited he had just been for using forbidden techniques on Wang Zhengkun.

Now it all seems like a joke.

What a huge joke.

Jiang Tianxiong, in front of a terrifying being who could single-handedly destroy a Celestial Sect, jumped around like a clown.

After the fear came endless humiliation and resentment.

He suddenly raised his head, stared intently at Ye An, and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Well done, Master Ye!"

He seemed to have used all his strength to finish speaking.

"I admit, we all underestimated you. Your strength is truly extraordinary."

Jiang Tianxiong took a deep breath, a look of mad gambler flashing in his eyes.

"However, you crippled Wang Zhengkun. He was not only the 'Little Martial God' of the Bajiquan Sect, but also the personal disciple of an elder of the Northern Martial Arts Alliance."

"Killing him is an insult to the entire Bajiquan sect, and an offense against the entire Northern martial arts world. No matter how strong you are, can you single-handedly confront the Bajiquan sect, which has a history of hundreds of years, and the Northern Martial Arts Alliance, which is full of experts?"

These words made the guests, who had just caught their breath, jump into their throats again.

Yes.

Master Ye is very strong, ridiculously strong.

But the Bajiquan sect is a behemoth that ranks among the top in the entire Chinese martial arts world.

The Northern Martial Arts Alliance is a giant that integrates martial arts forces from more than a dozen provinces in the north.

No matter how strong an individual is, can they be stronger than an organization?

Jiang Tianxiong is using his power to intimidate people.

He was telling Ye An that even if you kill me today, you won't be able to leave Shanghai, and you will face endless pursuit.

All eyes were once again focused on Ye An.

They wanted to see how this legendary Master Ye would react to such a threat.

Ye An frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about some troublesome problem.

After a while, he raised his eyes, looked at Jiang Tianxiong, and asked a question very seriously.

"so what?"

Just three simple words.

But those three words choked Jiang Tianxiong up all the words he had prepared.

So?

So you should be afraid, you should be wary, you should negotiate with me, instead of giving me that "what nonsense are you talking about" look.

Jiang Tianxiong almost choked on his breath.

Ye An seemed to be genuinely waiting for his answer, and when he didn't speak, she added another sentence.

"What you're saying has nothing to do with me?"

"I..." Jiang Tianxiong was so angry that he was trembling all over. He pointed at Ye An but couldn't say a word.

Just then, a clear, cool, and slightly urgent female voice came from the entrance of the martial arts arena.

"Stop it, all of you!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young woman walking in quickly.

It was Jiang Yu'er, the eldest daughter of the second wife.

Everyone was stunned.

After a few days apart, Jiang Yuer's entire demeanor underwent a dramatic change.

At this moment, her face was still beautiful, but her eyes had become sharp and firm, and she walked with an air of profound composure.

She is like a sharp sword hidden in its sheath; though its edge is not yet revealed, she is already someone no one dares to underestimate.

"Yu'er? You...you've come?"

Jiang Tianhai was the first to react, looking at his daughter with a complicated expression.

Jiang Yu'er ignored him and walked straight to the center of the arena. She first bowed deeply to Ye An on the stage.

"Master Ye, I apologize for my father's rudeness."

Then, she turned around and looked at Jiang Tianxiong, Jiang Tianhai and the others, her tone full of exhaustion and helplessness.

"Father, eldest uncle, third uncle, please stop talking."

"Stop trying to provoke Master Ye."

"You're all courting death!"

She spoke the last four words with absolute certainty.

"You!" Jiang Tianhai, humiliated by his daughter's public retort, pointed at her and roared, "What kind of talk is that! You're siding with outsiders!"

"Our Jiang family has been bullied right here at our doorstep, and you, instead, are siding with an outsider?"

"Do you even see me as your father anymore? Do you even see the Jiang family?"

Jiang Tianhe from the third branch of the family also spoke up sarcastically: "Oh dear, second brother, your daughter is really something else. I think she's not siding with outsiders, but rather she feels that we elders are an eyesore to her."

Jiang Hao scrambled to his feet, pointed at Jiang Yu'er, and said venomously, "Jiang Yu'er! You brought this jinx to my Jiang family, causing Master Wang to be crippled! What were you planning?!"

Jiang Yu'er remained completely unmoved in the face of everyone's accusations.

She simply looked at them calmly, as if they were a group of unreasonable children.

"What are my intentions?"

She suddenly smiled, a smile tinged with sadness.

"Uncle, don't you understand yet?"

"I'm not harming the Jiang family, I'm saving the Jiang family!"

She paused, her gaze sweeping over all the Jiang family members present, and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Do you think Master Ye is some charlatan I just picked up from somewhere?"

"I'm telling you, no!"

"You've all witnessed the miraculous effects of the 'Life-Supplementing Pill' that Grandpa used to prolong his life, right?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaotian, Jiang Tianxiong, and the others all changed their expressions.

Jiang Yuer took a deep breath and dropped a bombshell.

"That divine pill was made by Master Ye! He is a great benefactor of my Jiang family!"

What?!

The entire martial arts arena fell into dead silence once again.

Everyone stared blankly at the young man on the stage, as if struck by lightning.

The elixir that prolonged the life of the Jiang family patriarch... was it refined by him?

How...how is this possible?

Wasn't he supposed to be a god of war with unparalleled martial arts skills? How did he become a master alchemist who could refine life-extending pills?

Martial arts and alchemy are two completely different paths. Mastering either one is enough to become a giant in one's own right.

He was all alone, and yet...

Jiang Xiaotian was so excited that he suddenly stood up from the main seat, his lips trembling, looking at Ye An and then at Jiang Yu'er.

"Yu'er... is what you're saying true?"

"Absolutely true!" Jiang Yu'er replied confidently.

"Nonsense! A great benefactor or whatever..." Jiang Tianxiong's face turned pale and then red; he simply didn't believe it.

"Nonsense!" he shouted angrily, "That elixir is clearly..."

He stopped mid-sentence.

The origin of that elixir has always been a mystery.

At first, all they knew was that Jiang Yuer had obtained it. There were rumors that it was made by the Li family, a family of medicine experts, but they had no idea who actually made it.

Jiang Tianxiong stared intently at Jiang Yu'er: "What evidence do you have? Anyone can make empty promises!"

"Yes, where's the evidence?"

"This is too absurd; there needs to be some proof, right?"

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

Jiang Tianhai also looked at his daughter with a suspicious expression.

He didn't believe it either.

Ye An's martial prowess had exceeded his comprehension. If he was still a master of alchemy, then he was no longer human, but a god.

Faced with everyone's doubts, Jiang Yu'er finally revealed a confident smile.

She surveyed the entire room, her voice clear and melodious.

"evidence?"

"My cultivation level is the best proof!"

The moment the words fell.

A powerful aura suddenly erupted from Jiang Yu'er's body!

This aura was no longer within the realm of a Grandmaster of Internal Energy, but rather carried an extraordinary and unparalleled pressure that swept across the entire arena!

The guests who were close to the audience felt an invisible pressure coming at them, making them gasp for breath and their hearts pound.

The martial artists present all stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.

"This...this is..."

"Celestial Realm! It's the aura of the Celestial Realm!"

"My God! Miss Jiang, she... she's broken through to the Martial Dao Celestial Realm?!"

"How is that possible? She's so young...!"

In the main seat, Jiang Xiaotian's pupils suddenly contracted, his body swayed, and he almost lost his balance.

The three brothers, Jiang Tianxiong, Jiang Tianhe, and Jiang Tianhai, stood frozen in place as if they had seen a ghost.

Just a few days ago, Jiang Yu'er was only a martial artist in the late stage of the Transformation Realm.

Now, she has actually become a true master of the celestial realm!

Could it be that the life-extending elixir was truly made by Ye An?
