Chapter 960: Crimson Night Kingdoms Supreme Elder (2/2)
Ye Chuyun calmly stated: “My prestige is not for an elder like you to question!” Despite her gentle nature, each of her words was as heavy as the unshakable Mount Tai.
After all, she was an incredible Virtuous Paragon and the ruler of a country. Her acting as a virtuous woman around Li Qiye didn’t mean that she was weak! She simply maintained a low profile, but once she was ready to go, the royal aura of a ruler and might of a paragon would vividly manifest.
Not only was the crowd stunned, but even the elder was shocked after hearing this. This sentence carried quite a heavy punch!
The younger generation felt that she was even higher than they previously thought — worthy of admiration. Prior to this, due to her low-key nature, the young ones in the Barren Earth, especially those from big lineages like the Pureblood School, had forgotten about her status and cultivation. They felt that they were on the same level and in the same generation as her.
But now, her showing such contempt towards the Crimson Night Supreme Elder and displaying her might was a rude awakening for them. The fact was that she was far above them!
The elder became sullen all of a sudden. Ye Chuyun was indeed above him in terms of cultivation. Although their kingdom had two emperors, the Pure Lotus School also had emperor laws. In a direct confrontation, he was not her match without an imperial weapon.
The elder gravely said: “Schoolmaster Ye, I admit that you are indeed stronger than me. However, there are people who you will never be able to provoke! I can forgive that junior for harming my disciples. However, I am under the orders of Ancestor Storm G.o.d to bring our Crimson Night Kingdom’s disciples back!”
With that, he became more resolute and aggressive: “Think again if you want to oppose my Crimson Night!”
“Storm G.o.d!” The younger generation all gasped after hearing this t.i.tle.
Si Yuanyuan was aghast as well. If the Storm G.o.d ordered her to come back, then no one would be able to oppose her.
Everyone here was completely tongue-tied. Even Bai Jian’s group was full of apprehension. The Storm G.o.d was indeed a fearful t.i.tle in the minds of the Barren Earth’s inhabitants.
She was an ancestor of Crimson Night and rumored to be extremely powerful. Even if she didn’t come into being, she was still a big threat to the region.
Her name was Feng Piaoluo, the second daughter of Immortal Emperor Chen Xue. She kept her mother’s maiden name and was a very overbearing person. Her words were laws at Crimson Night. Not many would dare to go against her.
While the t.i.tle of Storm G.o.d was scaring everyone, Li Qiye smiled and told Ye Chuyun: “Chuyun, get back. You shouldn’t come out to defend me, lest people say that I am someone who can only hide behind women.”
She didn’t question his request and immediately went back to quietly stand behind him.
Chu Tianyu’s eyes turned red from jealousy after seeing Ye Chuyun being so obedient towards Li Qiye. His teeth were about to break from him gritting them so hard. He didn’t understand what kind of charm Li Qiye had to make her obey him like this.
After Ye Chuyun retreated, the Supreme Elder stared at Li Qiye and raised his voice: “Junior, let go of my disciples and I will forgive your sin of ignorance!”
“So I should be thanking you then?” Li Qiye smiled while keeping his feet on top of the bodies.
At this time, the duke could no longer endure the pain and cried out: “Elder, save me…”
“Junior, let my disciples go and hand over Si Yuanyuan, then I’ll pretend that nothing happened today!” The Supreme Elder’s att.i.tude softened at this point. Since Ye Chuyun was willing to back Li Qiye, he didn’t want to go all out against her.
Li Qiye smiled and slowly asked: “And if I don’t?”
The elder turned cold and revealed a murderous intent. He awe-inspiringly declared: “Junior, you don’t know the immensity of the heaven and earth. No one dares to breach the Storm G.o.d’s orders. The offenders? Kill without mercy! No one can protect you in the Barren Earth!”
Si Yuanyuan turned pale after hearing this. She came from the Crimson Night Kingdom and knew that the Storm G.o.d’s authority was unchallengeable!
“I, I will go back with you, Elder, as long as you don’t pursue Young n.o.ble Li’s mistake.” Si Yuanyuan stepped out and lowered her head.
She didn’t think that her issues would reach the Storm G.o.d. She also didn’t want to see Li Qiye being chased by the Storm G.o.d because of her!
She understood that her return would most likely result in being place under house arrest. However, she preferred this over Li Qiye dying for her sake.
