"Your Excellency is truly shameless!"

"What's your level of cultivation? What's Long Yi's level of cultivation? This is something everyone knows. How dare you say you're going to hunt down Long Yi?"

Yao Lingyun laughed coldly twice and spoke again, "If I chased a young man and let him escape in the end, I wouldn't even have the face to say this. I really can't afford to lose face."

"It seems you're much more shameless than I thought. But come to think of it, it makes sense. Otherwise, how could you possibly get involved with the Wang family? Fish seek fish, shrimp seek shrimp, and turtles seek turtles! You really are birds of a feather!"

After hearing this, everyone present started laughing. This was the most brutal act of killing someone.

Yao Lingyun's words were as sharp as a knife, full of insults. He did not give the Ascetic Venerable any face at all, but instead made the Ascetic Venerable lose some of his reputation.

The corners of Ascetic Venerable's mouth twitched twice, his expression turned extremely ugly, and his fists clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound. However, he finally chose to swallow his anger. After all, there were too many powerful people here, and it was not the best strategy to fight with them at this time. A little impatience would ruin a big plan.

As for everything that happened today, he had already secretly remembered it in his heart, and naturally he would not let it go easily.

"I don't have time to engage in a war of words with you here."

The gaze of the Ascetic Master fell back on Long Yi. He ignored Yao Lingyun's words and spoke again in a cold voice, "Long Yi, today you either come with me or don't blame me for going on a killing spree. If I really go crazy, even I'm a little scared. Although there are so many strong people here to protect you, if I really want to kill you, they may not be able to protect you!"

"Then why don't you try it!"

Yao Lingyun took a step forward and directly blocked Long Yi behind him. At the same time, he stared at the Ascetic Venerable with indifference, ready to take action at any time.

From a certain perspective, Long Yi is now a member of their family. If they abandon Long Yi at this time, they will probably be criticized in the future. Moreover, Long Yi has done the family a favor, which is an indelible fact. He is naturally clear about it in his heart. So no matter what, even if he has to pay a huge price today, he has made up his mind to protect Long Yi.

"Don't use such provocations. I've already made it clear to you. Even if you leave now, what will happen? Do you really think I'm afraid of you? Besides, if I hadn't been fully prepared, how could I possibly become an enemy of someone like you?"

A confident smile appeared on Long Yi's lips. "I guess everyone still doesn't know about the relationship between me and Tang Xingyuan, right? I am now considered Tang Xingyuan's half-disciple. When you just showed up, I already told Mr. Tang the news. It won't be long before Mr. Tang comes here in person. I want to see whether your method is better or Mr. Tang's star formation is more powerful."

this…

A person's name is like a tree's shadow. After hearing Tang Xingyuan's name, the ascetic's face couldn't help but become much uglier.

They are all among the top ten strongest people in the Lingdong area, so naturally they have some understanding of each other.

However, he and Tang Xingyuan had very little contact, so he was not sure whether Tang Xingyuan would really accept Long Yi as his disciple...

"Is what he said true?"

Ever since Xiahou Xuan was killed, Venerable Ascetic has been hiding and has never appeared in front of the public, so naturally he is not aware of these things.

Wang Pojun, standing by, also frowned slightly. After hesitating for a long time, he whispered, "In the last battle between our four major families, our Wang family was already a sure winner, and we were definitely going to defeat the other three families and become the overlord of Lingdong. It was because of Tang Xingyuan's sudden appearance that the existing situation was broken..."

"It's precisely because of Long Yi that Tang Xingyuan is helping out. That's why I'm a little confused about the relationship between Long Yi and Tang Xingyuan. But I've also witnessed the power of the Star Formation. Compared to a few years ago, it's become even more powerful. Tang Xingyuan's control over it has also become perfect, and his strength is much greater than it was back then."

At the end of his speech, a solemn look appeared on Wang Pojun's face.

Nowadays, the top ten strongest men in Lingdong are just an empty title, and the people who really stand at the top of the pyramid are Tang Xingyuan, the White-browed Sword Saint who has never appeared, Situ Shanhe from the auction, Wang Yi from the Wang family, and the Ascetic Venerable and Wang Batian who are standing in front of him.

Of course, if Wang Batian could be counted among them, Ji Yuntian could naturally be considered a strong man. However, if compared with the previous few people, the two of them seemed much weaker...

"I didn't expect that this kid would have such a great opportunity, and even have such a powerful force behind him. If that's the case, it seems there's no way to kill this kid today."

Venerable Ascetic was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He had made all the preparations to kill Long Yi. If the people from the other three families tried to stop them, the people from the Wang family would naturally not come here to watch the fun.

All the plans were within their calculations, but they never expected that they ignored the forces behind Long Yi.

"So what do we do next?"

Wang Pojun looked grim and his voice was a little hoarse.

"It seems I have no choice but to leave this troubled place first."

Seeing that he couldn't succeed, the ascetic said slowly, "Look at the way these people are looking at me. They clearly want to tear my tendons and skin me alive. If I continue to stay here, I'm sure these guys will not let me off easily, so I have no choice but to leave."

"As for dealing with this fellow Long Yi, I will naturally ask friends to help me in the future. Although Long Yi has the help of the three major families, Tang Xingyuan, and the auction, there are always people who are better than you. The masters of these forces are just local tyrants. There are still truly powerful people in other areas."

"As long as I get my friend here, even if these guys join forces, even if you, the Wang family, are included, I'm afraid they will definitely not be a match for my friend. Then we'll have to see who can protect Long Yi!"

The ascetic monk spoke in a sinister tone and left a few words. Then the space where he was shook and he disappeared.
