CHAPTER 570: CHAPTER 570 YE FAMILY YE QINGTIAN

Zhan Yuntian was aware of Xiao Zhan, as Xiao Zhan’s reputation was simply too dazzling!

The foremost among the younger generation of the Longxia Federation, also topping the rank of breakthroughs, he’s not only handsome but his wife is beautiful too!

Starting from the First Grade Spirit Master, he’s been helping the Longxia Federation snatch first places in all sorts of competitions!

Now, at only 22 or 23, he’s already a Sixth Grade Spirit Master, with limitless potential for the future!

But, even though he is formidable, he is after all just a Sixth Grade Spirit Master, and one who has only recently made the breakthrough at that.

This time, the plan is to select someone from among the Seventh Grade Emperor Saints within the Longxia border, and being Sixth Grade, Xiao Zhan clearly isn’t qualified.

He’s straightforward and intolerant of any wrongdoing; faced with Qin Wanfeng’s ’backdoor dealings’, he asked him directly.

"Director Qin, Xiao Zhan is just a Sixth Grade, why notify him to come to Hidden Dragon City?"

When Qi Wanfeng heard his question, his face showed no surprise. He had been dealing with Zhan Yuntian for many years and was well aware of his blunt nature.

"Just think of it as me pulling strings. I’ve already asked the higher-ups, and they’ve agreed."

Speaking to Zhan Yuntian, being blunt is enough; there’s no need for courteous officialdom.

Hearing that the higher-ups agreed, Zhan Yuntian’s brows slightly furrowed as he looked towards Qin Wanfeng. After a two-second silence, he said, "I understand your intentions, but I have to remind you that this selection is risky."

The risks Zhan Yuntian spoke of were of death.

He was giving Qin Wanfeng a heads up, saying that I can ignore Xiao Zhan’s involvement, but I won’t grant him any favors. If he happens to die, don’t blame me.

Qin Wanfeng was always confident in Xiao Zhan, "Don’t worry, treat him equally. He’ll know how to make the right choice."

Zhan Yuntian fell silent.

His expression remained cold.

........

Hidden Dragon City, Hidden Dragon Hall.

After a day’s travel, Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong finally arrived at their destination.

Looking at the grand and majestic structure ahead of them, reminiscent of an ancient imperial palace, Xiao Zhan exclaimed in admiration.

"This must be Hidden Dragon Hall."

Such buildings were rare to see in this era.

Ye Youlong nodded and said, "That’s right, this is Hidden Dragon Hall, arguably the most important location in the whole Longxia Federation."

The two advanced and entered the hall.

The guards stopped them, but let them pass after learning their names.

Then, a guard led Xiao Zhan and the others to a large hall.

"Mr. Xiao, Miss Ye, please wait here for a moment."

Xiao Zhan nodded, then proceeded into the hall.

After entering, he found that there were already people inside, and quite a number of them, almost twenty.

At first glance, Xiao Zhan spotted an old acquaintance.

Tang Kun!

What was he doing here?

Tang Kun also saw Xiao Zhan, a flash of surprise passing through his eyes, "Why are Xiao Zhan and the others here?"

Xiao Zhan looked at the others; he had never met them before, but they were familiar to him as he had often seen them online.

They were the strongest warriors from the eight major families.

Chu Yunyang from the Chu Family, Lin Zhenghong from the Lin Family, Zhang Jufei from the Zhang Family, Ye Qingtian from the Ye Family, Yun Dong from the Yun Family, and besides them, there were several others Xiao Zhan wasn’t very familiar with.

Yet, there was also a monk among them, one with the distinct tonsure of scars on his head, a bona fide old monk.

Xiao Zhan curiously took another glance at him, then turned his gaze back to the crowd.

Just as he was wondering why all these people were gathered here, suddenly one of them walked upfront to Xiao Zhan.

"Young, handsome, beautiful, with a Demon Scythe tattoo on your brow, you two are Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong, aren’t you?"

Xiao Zhan looked at him, Ye Qingtian from the Ye Family.

Judging from his expression and demeanor, he seemed quite unsatisfied with Xiao Zhan?

Turning to his partner, he asked, "Wife, does your family have a feud with his?"

Xiao Zhan directly asked using telepathic communication.

With the improvement of his Death Aura grade, Xiao Zhan’s Perception Skill had also become much stronger. Now, he was not only capable of sensing micro-energy data, but he could even perceive the emotions of others.

"Yes."

Ye Youlong answered truthfully.

"What grudge?"

"His family name is Ye, and my family name is Ye, so he dislikes us."

Xiao Zhan: ???

Is that even a reason?

Ye Youlong would not lie, so it must be true.

Xiao Zhan could only sigh that in a big forest, there’s every kind of bird, and the more powerful they are, the odder they become.

"Yes."

Xiao Zhan answered Ye Qingtian.

"Do you know who I am?"

"No."

Xiao Zhan shook his head.

Ye Qingtian let out a cold snort and said, "I am Ye Qingtian, a senior member of the eight great Ye families. According to seniority, you should call me Uncle."

"Oh."

Xiao Zhan replied with an ’oh’.

What kind of uncle? If you hadn’t mentioned it, I might have called you that, but now that you have, I’m definitely not going to.

"Oh? What kind of attitude is this?" Ye Qingtian’s face turned ugly in an instant.

Xiao Zhan looked at him, neither servile nor overbearing, "What attitude would you like me to have?"

"Shouldn’t a junior greet a senior properly when they meet?"

Ye Qingtian stared at Xiao Zhan and, as he spoke, released an invisible pressure that was bearing down on Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan’s expression changed slightly, what a petty person! Just for not calling him once, he is using his momentum to force compliance.

Xiao Zhan believed what Ye Youlong had just said; this guy might really hold a grudge against the Ye family because of the homophony between ’Ye’ and ’Ye’.

Xiao Zhan sneered in his heart, and with the operation of his Spirit Manipulation Energy, he instantly dispersed the pressure brought by Ye Qingtian.

"Huh?"

Ye Qingtian let out a light huh.

His gaze towards Xiao Zhan was filled with surprise, seemingly not expecting his own pressure to be so easily neutralized by Xiao Zhan.

Thinking this, Ye Qingtian’s face showed a hint of displeasure, and he immediately concentrated the pressure once again, bearing down on Xiao Zhan.

This time, it was several times stronger than before.

Xiao Zhan felt the pressure coming on, his eyebrows deeply furrowed, and visible dissatisfaction on his face.

Was this guy too petty?

A show of force once wasn’t enough, he needed to do it a second time?

Have I provoked you in any way?

A hint of anger flashed in Xiao Zhan’s eyes, disrespectful of the old. Since you treat me this way, don’t blame me for not being polite in return.

At that moment, Xiao Zhan mixed a trace of Death Aura into the operation of his energy.

The invisible energy was immediately tinged with a hint of black, and Xiao Zhan immediately pounced toward Ye Qingtian!

Boom!

A silent clash.

Ye Qingtian’s pressure collapsed, his hair moving as though caught in a breeze, fluttering backward, and his face turned pale as he looked at Xiao Zhan in shock.

He furrowed his brows, and when he looked at Xiao Zhan again, the previous contempt was gone.

"Good boy, you indeed live up to the name of the number one person among the younger generation!"

Xiao Zhan smiled gently, "It’s all flattery from younger folks."
