The leader, dressed in a blue robe, stood with his hands behind his back, resembling a young immortal with an extraordinary presence.

Ye Qiu guessed that this person was Hua Dao.

Standing next to Hua Dao was Ning Guichen.

Ning Guichen gritted his teeth, his killing intent palpable. If looks could kill, Ye Qiu would have been dead a thousand times over.

"Kid, it's too late for you to kneel down and beg for mercy now. If you dare to oppose me, there are plenty of people to suppress you."

Ning Guichen sneered.

"Oh, I understand." Ye Qiu said with a faint smile, "You mean, as long as someone dares to oppose you, you can order Hua Dao to take action and stand up for you at will?"

"So what if it is?" Ning Guichen said dismissively, speaking without thinking.

Hua Dao's expression darkened slightly, and he turned around and slapped Ning Guichen across the face: "You bastard, do you mean I'm your underling?"

"Ah, no...no, Brother Huadao, I absolutely didn't mean that. Don't listen to this kid's attempts to sow discord," Ning Guichen hurriedly said.

"Watch your words from now on."

Hua Dao's eyes were cold and sinister.

"Yes, yes, don't worry, brother."

Ning Guichen nodded repeatedly, feeling extremely aggrieved.

Hua Dao snorted coldly, then looked at Ye Qiu: "Kid, if all you can do is use these petty tricks, then I regret to inform you that you will die very soon."

"You?" Ye Qiu sneered. "I heard you're the strongest in some secret realm. I'd like to see what you're really made of."

"Then let's give it a try."

Hua Dao's aura erupted, like a sharpened divine sword, its brilliance fully revealed.

Ye Qiu also walked forward, pressing closer step by step.

The two are evenly matched, a fierce battle could erupt at any moment...
