Within Ye Longlin’s heart, a pile of questions arose, but under the current circumstances, it was not appropriate to ask.
He could only wait until this matter was concluded before he could conveniently inquire.
A jade-like foot suddenly appeared high in the sky.
The small foot was as delicate as if it could be grasped in one hand, fair and tender, as if radiating a jade-like luster. If any foot fetishists were present, they would likely be shouting, “Your Majesty, the Queen!”
“Who goes there!”
Ye Zhengchun coldly shouted, his gaze flashing with icy intent.
No matter who the newcomer was, it seemed they were on Ye Longlin’s side. Otherwise, it was inexplicable that they would intervene to help Ye Longlin; their intentions were quite clear.
If the newcomer intended to kill Ye Longlin, they absolutely would not have made a move!
“What do you think I am, hmm? Old man?”
The Crimson Lotus Demoness remained as mischievous as ever. As soon as she spoke, her enchanting voice spread throughout the entire venue.
Ye Zhengchun’s expression immediately turned grim, his eyes intensely fixed on the Crimson Lotus Demoness.
The Crimson Lotus Demoness was still clad in a striking red Hanfu. However, this red Hanfu incorporated several modern elements. Whether it was the slit hem or the hollowed-out back, both offered ample room for imagination.
Her pair of jade-like feet, planted in mid-air, also gave the impression of being detached from the world and standing alone.
“No matter who you are!”
“Today, anyone standing with Ye Longlin will die!”
Ye Zhengchun cared not who she was. They had come with the intention to kill, and they were determined to eliminate Ye Longlin.
Moreover, Ye Longlin had now stepped into the Saint Realm. If he were not dealt with now, it would be increasingly difficult to do so in the future!
“And what if I say I am also here to kill Ye Longlin?”
The Crimson Lotus Demoness’s lips curled upwards as she chuckled.
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhengchun breathed a sigh of relief, his tone becoming relaxed as he said, “That would be even better. I hope so.”
After saying this, his tone abruptly shifted, becoming incomparably cold: “But what you are doing now does not seem like you are here to kill him!”
Instantly, the atmosphere in the arena changed dramatically, the entire scene turning frigid with killing intent.
With every glance and smile, the Crimson Lotus Demoness exuded an air of seduction. Even seasoned veterans like Ye Zhengchun had to divide their attention to resist. In their brief exchange, he had already recognized the Crimson Lotus Demoness as a woman of extreme allure, possessing natural charm.
“So I’m letting you guess.”
The Crimson Lotus Demoness put on a semblance of being wronged. If she were wearing a school uniform, perhaps some would feel pity. However, in her striking red attire, no one found her adorable.
Upon hearing her words, Ye Zhengchun was momentarily unable to ascertain the Crimson Lotus Demoness’s true intentions, leaving him with a sense of great confusion.
“I don’t care what you intend to do. If you wish to kill Ye Longlin, then join forces with us. If you stand with Ye Longlin, then we can only ‘ruthlessly destroy the flower’ today!”
At this stage, Ye Longlin had completely accepted and assimilated the power of the Saint Realm. Killing him now would be difficult, and indeed very troublesome. After all, this matter was by no means simple.
Once Ye Longlin entered the Saint Realm, the Zhenwu Division would arrive swiftly. Furthermore, the Ye family’s relationship with the Zhenwu Division was not good. If that woman seized an opportunity, the Queen would surely target the Ye family, which would then become a problem!
In summary, touching one point would affect the entire situation.
“Crimson Lotus Demoness, what exactly do you want?”
Ye Longlin also couldn’t help but speak at this moment, his expression equally displeased. He had not expected to draw out the Dark Hall. According to his plan, he intended to keep the Crimson Lotus Demoness there to buy time for the Qin family of Zhenwu. However, if he made a move, Ye Zhengchun and his group would also attack.
The situation had now suddenly fallen into a strange equilibrium.
For Ye Zhengchun, the Crimson Lotus Demoness’s allegiance was unclear, making it inconvenient to act. Ye Longlin’s current combat strength was unknown; with his past record of annihilating Saint Realm experts and the title of being invincible in the same realm, it instilled apprehension in him.
As for Ye Longlin, both sides were enemies. If he made a move to detain the Crimson Lotus Demoness, Ye Zhengchun would inevitably join forces with her.
That would also be difficult to handle, as one could not stand against many alone.
Therefore, the situation had evolved into an awkward silence, forming a state of mutual restraint and checks and balances.
Qin Wudao also swiftly notified the family patriarch at this moment.
Regarding the news of Ba Shen Tian, everyone in the Qin family was aware. Upon Ba Shen Tian’s emergence, the family was immediately notified, and the closest individuals were dispatched to the designated location.
“I am on my way.”
After receiving the news from the patriarch, Qin Wudao breathed a sigh of relief. Since the patriarch was already en route, he no longer felt panicked.
Although the patriarch did not possess Saint Realm cultivation, for the Qin family, this was not an issue at all!
Ye Longlin lit a cigarette and casually smoked it as if no one else was around, enjoying the moment with great ease.
“Young Master Ye, you look so handsome when you smoke.”
The Crimson Lotus Demoness gazed at him with admiration.
Ye Longlin: “……”
What on earth had this woman taken?
He still couldn’t fathom it. If he were the Crimson Lotus Demoness, he would wait until they were both weakened from fighting before emerging to reap the benefits from both sides, thereby maximizing his interests. But the problem was, by emerging now, she had created a strange equilibrium, where no one would initiate an attack, as they were all wary of the other.
He truly couldn’t understand what was going on in the Crimson Lotus Demoness’s mind; her thoughts were somewhat different from those of ordinary people.
Just as they were immersed in the silent atmosphere, below, vehicles began to stop on the road.
A woman in a nightgown appeared by the roadside, lit a ladies’ cigarette, and softly smiled, “Everyone, would you like to come down for a cup of tea? Aren’t you tired?”
Qin Wudao immediately looked over and hurried toward her, respectfully addressing her, “Patriarch.”
Qin Shimeng waved her hand, signaling him to step aside.
Ye Zhengchun looked down and sneered, “Since when did a junior dare to order this old man around? A mere Dao Realm cultivator, this old man can extinguish with a flick of his wrist.”
Qin Shimeng exhaled a puff of smoke, “This is Qin Shimeng, the matriarch of the Zhenwu Qin family. I invite the old undead of the Ye family to come down for a chat.”
“If the old undead of the Ye family refuses, then this young lady will send the old undead of the Ye family to the Yellow Springs!”
Her two sentences were spoken with resolute finality.
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhengchun’s face darkened. After a moment of silence, he was the first to descend to the ground.
He could ignore Qin Shimeng, but he could not disregard her identity as the matriarch of the Zhenwu Qin family!
The Zhenwu Qin family was far more powerful than the Ye family.
Even among the hidden families, they were considered to be at the forefront.
“Dark Hall members, and Ye family brat, are you waiting for this family matriarch to personally invite you down?”
