Warning! A hidden dragon has emerged!

"Jiang Yunshan, you're getting bolder and bolder, daring to lay a hand on my junior brother in Kyoto?"

Xia Ruoxi ignored his words completely, her cold eyes fixed on Jiang Yunshan like ice, her words sharp and direct, hitting the nail on the head.

Qin Quan was her junior brother, the Ninth Elder of Hidden Dragon.

Jiang Yao is her junior sister, her sister-in-law, and also the person in charge of Jincheng Hidden Dragon.

Today in Kyoto, on her own little plot of land, she was imprisoned by the Jiang family, surrounded and pressured in public, which was tantamount to slapping Xia Ruoxi in the face in public!

Tolerable or unbearable!

Jiang Yunshan broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly tried to explain himself.

"Your Excellency, this is a family matter of the Jiang family. We hope you will understand!"

"Housework?"

Xia Ruoxi raised her hand and pointed at Qin Quan, unleashing her full aura. A terrifying pressure descended like a tidal wave, making it difficult for Jiang Yunshan to breathe.

"Qin Quan is my junior brother, Xia Ruoxi's junior brother, and Jiang Yao is my junior sister. How can this not be my business?"

"You knew their identities, yet you still allowed your clansmen to imprison and besiege them. You're telling me this is your family matter? Have you considered the consequences of provoking the Hidden Dragon and offending the War Department?"

A series of sharp questions left Jiang Yunshan speechless.

Large beads of cold sweat rolled down his cheeks, completely throwing him into a state of panic.

The Jiang family's actions not only offended the Hidden Dragon, but also provoked the Dragon Kingdom's War God.

"Tsk tsk, the Dragon Kingdom's War God is indeed sharp-tongued; his ability to distort the truth is truly first-rate."

Just as Jiang Yunshan was at a loss, a mocking voice slowly drifted out from the deep inner courtyard, instantly breaking the oppressive atmosphere in the room.

An elderly man with white hair and a youthful face, dressed in an elegant gray robe, slowly walked out.

His steps were graceful, and his aura was subtle and restrained, without any outward display of power, yet it inexplicably aroused fear in others.

He appeared ordinary, yet strangely concealed all his presence.

Previously, Qin Quan had swept his divine sense across the entire Jiang family, but he had not been able to detect the existence of this person!

Xia Ruoxi's delicate brows furrowed slightly, her expression extremely solemn, and every nerve in her body involuntarily tensed as she stared intently at the newcomer, asking in a cold voice:

"Who are you?"

Qin Quan also suppressed his smile and stared intently at the other person.

This man appears to be as thin as a rake, but he is unfathomable and is definitely the strongest opponent he has ever encountered.

The old man in the grey robe stroked his long, white beard, tilted his head back, and chuckled softly:

"This is the Hermit of the Sky, Xie Yanke."

"Sky-Piercing Cliff, Black Iron Token, you are a member of the Hidden Immortal Sect!"

Xia Ruoxi was shocked and immediately revealed the other party's background, her eyes filled with undisguised shock.

At the same time, he secretly signaled to Qin Quan with his eyes that he should be ready to fight at any time.

A hint of surprise flashed in Xie Yanke's eyes, and he said calmly:

"I didn't expect that the War God of the Dragon Kingdom would know about the existence of my Hidden Immortal Sect. It seems that your background is not simple either."

"This war god is a disciple of the Jade Spring Temple on Ziyun Mountain. I advise you not to interfere in this matter."

Xia Ruoxi introduced herself, her body brimming with fighting spirit. If the Hidden Immortal Sect insisted on interfering in this matter, she wouldn't mind unleashing a bloodbath.

"So you're a disciple of Ziyun Mountain. No wonder you have the strength of the Golden Core stage."

Xie Yanke, with an arrogant expression, stated directly:

"I am a protector of the Hidden Immortal Sect. This marriage between the Qin and Jiang families was personally arranged by my sect's True Person, Yuanlong. It is ordained by Heaven and must be completed. Even if you are the War God of the Dragon Kingdom, the disciples of Purple Cloud Mountain have no right to interfere!"

"ridiculous!"

Qin Quan stepped forward, facing Xie Yanke directly.

"Just now you said this was a family matter of the Jiang family and that others had no right to interfere, but in the blink of an eye you are using Yuan Long's name to force a marriage. You, the Hidden Immortal Sect, have said both good and bad things."

As he spoke, Qin Quan's aura suddenly erupted.

"Who do you think you are, to decide Sister Yao's life's most important matters?"

"A bunch of rats who hide in the gutter all year round dare to act arrogantly and show off in front of my senior sister? Do they really think the Hidden Immortal Sect can run rampant and be invincible?"

Xie Yanke's expression froze, and he asked in a cold voice:

"Are you Elder Ninth of the Hidden Dragon Clan?"

"yes!"

Qin Quan didn't mind at all and readily agreed.

Xie Yanke's smile suddenly vanished, replaced by a surge of murderous intent.

"You've been waiting for me!"

Without saying a word, he suddenly attacked!

With a wave of his hand, the palm wind condensed into a sinister and poisonous force, carrying a powerful pressure far exceeding that of ordinary Golden Core experts, and went straight for Qin Quan's vital points. The speed was so fast that it left no room for reaction.

"You really think I came here for this messy marriage?"

Xie Yanke spoke coldly as he made his move.

"From the moment Jiang Yao escorted Yuan Long's remains away from Jincheng, she was the bait I laid. Otherwise, why would you have come to me willingly? And how could I have avenged Yuan Long?"

"You think you've got me cornered just like that?"

Qin Quan's face was full of mockery, and his spiritual power surged wildly around him!

boom!

Within his dantian, nine golden pills spun rapidly, and boundless pure yang spiritual energy washed over his limbs and bones, and flowed through all his meridians.

Golden light shot into the sky from his body, and a heavy and majestic phantom of a Buddhist golden bell condensed and took shape, enveloping his entire body.

The ethereal chanting and dazzling spiritual light were the supreme defensive supernatural powers he had cultivated after refining the Buddha's skull relic.

"Buddhist Golden Bell Shield!"

Xie Yanke's gaze sharpened, and he instantly recognized the origin of this unique skill. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he showed no intention of stopping.

The arrow is on the bowstring, and it must be released!

"I'd like to see whether your Buddhist Golden Bell is harder, or my Jade Needle Palm is superior!"

In an instant, Xie Yanke gathered all his strength into his palm, and the palm wind was heavy and domineering, carrying a terrifying power that could tear the air apart, and slammed into the golden bell cover!

Boom!

A deafening bell rang out, its sound echoing throughout the Jiang family compound and reverberating across the entire capital city.

Dense ripples of spiritual energy spread across the surface of the golden bell-shaped dome, and a violent wave of energy swept outwards from the two of them.

Everyone present was so shocked by the ear-piercing explosion that their eardrums ached and they felt dizzy. They covered their ears and retreated in a sorry state, with no one daring to approach the center of the battle.

The bell tolled and the shockwave dissipated.

Xie Yanke's pupils contracted sharply, and a storm raged in his heart.

He never expected that his trump card, the Jade Needle Palm, would be so easily blocked by Qin Quan's Buddhist Golden Bell Shield.

This palm technique was created with his life's work. At his peak, he could even go toe-to-toe with the sect leader of the Hidden Immortal Sect.

Now, his all-out attack has been like a clay ox sinking into the sea, leaving no ripples.

"hateful!"

Xie Yanke gritted his teeth and roared, his spiritual power surging again. His powerful palm strikes piled up layer upon layer without stopping, relentlessly pounding the Golden Bell Shield.

Bang bang bang!

The dense and violent palm strikes continued unabated, slamming heavily onto the surface of the Golden Bell Shield, causing bursts of spiritual energy to ripple and the booming sound to resound throughout the entire Jiang family compound.

Everyone in the audience held their breath, their hearts pounding, feeling their blood surge with every impact.

However, no matter how fiercely Xie Yanke attacked or exerted his strength, the Buddhist golden bell remained as stable as a rock, its entire body gleaming with golden light.

It didn't even crack, let alone shatter.

On the contrary, under the continuous high-intensity output, his spiritual energy was rapidly depleted, his breathing became increasingly rapid, his arms were sore and numb, and most of his physical strength was forcibly consumed.
