Chapter 206 Fatal Threat

In the void, another figure soared into the sky and sped far away.

Zhang Tians.h.i.+ looked in astonishment. “I can’t believe that young fella can perceive Brother Cheng’s whereabouts.”

Ou Yangming chose to escape in the opposite direction of the figure earlier, and the only way to explain this was he identified the vague and illusory voice’s source.

He Liangce secretly admired Ou Yangming because he could not have done that. The young master lamented at once because while he still had trump cards to be used, they were from his clan’s inheritance.

On the other hand, Ou Yangming had such accomplishments as an orphan, which caused other people to treat him with special respect.

“It’s quite remarkable that two great ancestors put so much effort to ambush a little Yin Grade martial artist,” Ni Yinghong looked up and commented as her hair was gently blown in the wind.

She spoke softly and with elegance, but everyone could tell that she was mocking the great ancestors.

Zhang Tians.h.i.+’s face darkened. If a lady without a background had said something like that in front of him, he would have smashed her into meat paste.

However, a disciple from an influential clan with a formidable legacy could not be killed so easily. The real murderer could be found by using peculiar and unpredictable investigation methods, and he would not be able to escape regardless of his status.

Nonetheless, Zhang Tians.h.i.+ was a little mad to have been offended by a junior.

Ni Xueming immediately took a step forward and responded, “Don’t speak nonsense. Why would two great ancestors go through the trouble to come here because of a few juniors like you? Hmph, the great ancestors are representing the imperial family to in…”

“Enough!” Zhang Tians.h.i.+ waved his hand and cut him off.

Ni Xueming quickly responded to him and backed away with respect.

Ni Yinghong stared coldly at Ni Xueming without threatening him, but the intense cold look in her eyes gave him chills.

He Liangce’s face changed, and he suggested, “Senior, since the imperial family is already aware, we should work together without wearing out each other through an internal conflict.”

“Wearing out each other through internal conflicts? Is that young fella even worthy of being the cause of internal conflict? Heh, for the sake of your great ancestors from the He family and the Ni family, I’ll overlook your nonsense.” Zhang Tians.h.i.+ could not help but laugh, then he waved his hand and uttered, “Let’s go!”

He Liangce fixed his gaze on the great ancestor and asked, “Senior, may I ask where you’re heading to?”

“I’ll be honest with you; I’m going to see how Brother Cheng will handle that young fella. Heh, Brother Cheng is the master of that good-for-nothing from our clan. Since he encountered Ou Yangming, who killed his apprentice, it’ll be a perfect chance for him to avenge his apprentice’s death.” Zhang Tians.h.i.+ looked at He Liangce with a faint smile, which carried a hint of hostility. “What? Are you going to stop me?”

He Liangce took a deep breath and closed his eyes before he opened them again. “Senior, please forgive me… It’s exactly what I was planning to do!” Ni Xueming trembled as he was surprised and enraged. ‘What magic art did Ou Yangming do that He Liangce’s willing to support him at all costs?’

Zhang Tians.h.i.+’s face had already darkened by then, and his eyes were full of killing intent. “You… Do you think I don’t have the nerve to kill you?”

What kind of person was a Supreme Great Ancestor? How could their dignity be offended?

If one were to repeatedly displease a great ancestor-even if that person was the He family’s eldest young master-one would only end up dying.

He Liangce chuckled. “Senior, you naturally have the nerve to do so, but it’s not like I won’t try to fight.” Zhang Tians.h.i.+ laughed out loud. “I can’t believe the He family has a presumptuous and ignorant junior like you—it’s truly saddening. It’s fine, I’ll take you down and let Big Brother He… Hey?” His face changed abruptly, and he stopped talking as though a sharp blade had cut off his voice.

The great ancestor widened his eyes at He Liangce while he kept his mouth shut. A confused look could be seen in his eyes, accompanied by a tinge of fear.

Ni Xueming staggered backward involuntarily. He stared at He Liangce too, but he kept s.h.i.+vering as if he was trapped in an icehouse.

He Liangce stood still at that moment and raised his folding fan to a chest level. His eyes and face began to redden while his robe fluttered like it was blown by a strong wind.

Moreover, his body released an exceptionally fearsome and powerful aura. Under the aura’s oppression, not only was Ni Xueming unable to resist it, but even Zhang Tians.h.i.+ reacted as he had just seen a ghost.

He Liangce seemed to have transformed into a giant ancient beast at that instant, such that anything in his way would be crushed into powder.

“Iron Blood Loyal Heart, sacrificing for a n.o.ble cause!” Zhang Tians.h.i.+ uttered word by word.

He Liangce’s garment kept fluttering in the wind as he looked at the elder without saying a word.

Zhang Tians.h.i.+ finally exhaled after some time. “Okay, I won’t go; I’ll stay here with you.”

He Liangce looked deeply at the great ancestor before his aura slowly declined.

“Thank you, senior.” He cupped his hands at the elder.

Zhang Tians.h.i.+ asked slowly, “Is that young fella worth it?” He Liangce answered with a grin, “He’s worth it.”

“Heh, it’s a pity that Brother Cheng is already pursuing him. I’m afraid that he has already captured the young fella and is slowly torturing him now.”

“I believe that Brother Ou can get away if he’s only against one Supreme Great Ancestor.” He Liangce was still smiling.
