172: Chapter 172 Martial Gods Gather, Hua Hongfeng's Disdain

Lin Yuan took Mu Qianqian's small hand and rose into the air, heading towards the deep mountains on the outskirts of Kyoto; he had to choose a suitable battlefield.

There was no need to worry about the opponent not finding him, as Martial God powerhouses all possessed Divine Sense.

Arriving above the deep mountains, the two hovered in the air. Lin Yuan kept holding Mu Qianqian's hand, making her feel both nervous and sweet...

The first person to arrive wasn't Tu Zhenxiong, but Ice-Cold Frost.

Ice-Cold Frost had detected Lin Yuan's aura with her Divine Sense and rushed over immediately. When she saw Lin Yuan holding Mu Qianqian's hand, a flash of dejection crossed her eyes.

"Martial God Lin, we meet again. You ran off so fast just now, I suppose you were afraid your lovely wife would get jealous?" Ice-Cold Frost spoke indifferently.

"Uh... Miss Xia, you're overthinking it. I really did have urgent business... By the way, Miss Xia, you must be here for the Holy Lord of the Reincarnation Cult?"

Lin Yuan quickly changed the subject. He didn't want to chat too much about trifles with Ice-Cold Frost, lest it make Mu Qianqian unhappy.

"That's right. Upon receiving Saint Su's message, I rushed over. Today, that dog Tu Zhenxiong must be left here!"

Ice-Cold Frost said coldly, a powerful self-confidence naturally flowing from her. That noble temperament made one dare not desecrate her.

Seeing Ice-Cold Frost regain her cold and proud demeanor, Lin Yuan finally felt relieved. It seemed the Goddess Xia had come to her senses and wouldn't pester him.

Wang Luoxue had already been settled in a safe place by Ice-Cold Frost; this was not an occasion she could participate in.

Mu Qianqian naturally knew Ice-Cold Frost, but she hadn't expected Lin Yuan to know her too. Moreover, it seemed something had transpired between them, but now was not the time to ask. Since Lin Yuan was holding her hand tightly, she didn't need to ask anyway; she had unconditional trust in him.

Before long, Saint Su and the Dao Saint arrived as well, along with a Middle-aged man—he was Mu Qianqian's family servant, Hua Hongfeng.

Since they were all within the borders of Great Xia, they arrived very quickly.

Saint Su, Su Yuntian, was an elder with a powerful aura and a righteous spirit. Lin Yuan truly admired this Martial God from the bottom of his heart and immediately cupped his fists in salute:

"Senior Su, junior Lin Yuan greets you."

"You are Lin Yuan? Truly a monstrous talent. I've heard my master mention you many times. I didn't expect you to grow to such a level in such a short time; it's simply inconceivable. The future of Blue Star depends on you now," Su Yuntian said with a smile.

Hua Hongfeng came to Mu Qianqian's side and cupped his fists: "Greetings, Eldest Miss!"

"Uncle Hua, there's no need for this in the future. You will always be my uncle," Mu Qianqian quickly returned the salute.

"Good, good. Eldest Miss, the two of you... what is this?"

Hua Hongfeng stared at their joined hands and asked with a slight frown.

"Uncle Hua, Lin Yuan and I... are together," Mu Qianqian said with a mix of shyness and sweetness.

Hearing this, Hua Hongfeng's frown deepened. He knew Lin Yuan was a monstrous talent with huge potential, but he was still far too weak right now. If they ever had the chance to return to the Star Alliance, the Mu family would never allow them to be together.

Lin Yuan saw Hua Hongfeng's concern and spoke calmly:

"Uncle Hua, I know what you're worried about. But you needn't worry; I believe that with my talent, I will surely gain the approval of Qianqian's father."

"Sigh... That's easier said than done. Although your talent is monstrous now, whether you can even ascend to the Transcendent Realm is uncertain. That realm has blocked countless peerless geniuses. Even if you do ascend, the Transcendent Realm is a struggle at every step. You have no faction supporting you. Gaining the Mu family's approval is simply impossible!" Hua Hongfeng said firmly.

"Uncle Hua, stop! I believe in Lin Yuan," Mu Qianqian said with a frown. She knew it would be hard, but she believed Lin Yuan could do it.

"Sigh..."

"Uncle Hua, all I can say is that I, Lin Yuan, am different from ordinary people. What others cannot do, I can!"

"Heh... Young people, so ignorant of the vastness of the world..." Hua Hongfeng sighed.

"Hahahaha... I think this kid can do it. Great talent, firm Dao heart. According to my Daoist Qi-Observation Technique, this lad is destined for greatness and will surely become an existence everyone looks up to!"

At this moment, Dao Saint Wu Youdao walked over laughing. Wu Youdao was dressed as a Daoist priest with white hair and beard, looking a bit disheveled and untamed, with a wine gourd hanging from his waist.

"Senior Dao Saint praises me too much," Lin Yuan said modestly with cupped fists.

Hua Hongfeng, however, had a face full of disdain. He kept his brow furrowed and didn't even look at Lin Yuan directly.

Just then, Chu Yunfeng's voice echoed in his mind:

"Kid Lin, stop blathering with that guy named Hua. What does he know? With my guidance, what 'Haoyue Star Alliance'? It's just a trashy little alliance. You'll surpass it in no time. Focus on the enemy first; Tu Zhenxiong is here, and he brought a bald Martial God with him."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan immediately spoke up: "Alright, seniors, Tu Zhenxiong is here, and he's brought a bald Martial God."

"How would you know? My Divine Sense hasn't detected anything," Hua Hongfeng said, tilting his head up.

"Is that the point? The point is how to deal with them!"

Lin Yuan was becoming a bit displeased. This old man kept contradicting him. Just because he was from the stars? Did he really think he'd seen it all? If he continued to be so tactless, Lin Yuan wouldn't mind disciplining this family servant on Mu Qianqian's behalf.

"Right, right. Tu Zhenxiong is powerful, and Kesley can't be reached. In a moment, Miss Xia and I will strike together to deal with Tu Zhenxiong. As for that bald one, he should be our old rival Ralph; leave him to Brother Dao."

Seeing the tension between the two, Su Yuntian quickly changed the subject.

"No problem!"

Wu Youdao opened his gourd, took a swig of wine, and said with a grin.

Lin Yuan was uncertain of Tu Zhenxiong's strength, so it was better for him to stay in the shadows for now.

A moment later...

The fierce and ugly-looking Tu Zhenxiong appeared before everyone, with a bald, foreign-looking burly man by his side.

Tu Zhenxiong immediately saw Mu Qianqian next to Lin Yuan. He grinned and cupped his fists:

"Oh, the Eldest Miss is here too. Greetings, Eldest Miss. In a bit, I'll send you and Old Man Hua down to have tea together, hahahaha..."

"Tu Zhenxiong, don't you dare be so arrogant! You dare come to my Great Xia to commit atrocities; aren't you afraid of losing your life here?" Su Yuntian stepped forward and shouted.

"Haha... Before, I might have been somewhat wary of your Great Xia, but Kesley was killed by Ice-Cold Frost. Now there are only three of you; what do I have to fear? Today, everyone present must die!" Tu Zhenxiong said recklessly.

"What?! Miss Xia, you actually killed Kesley? I was wondering why I couldn't reach him. You're being foolish! No matter how much of a scoundrel he was, he was still one of the pillars of Great Xia!" Su Yuntian said in shock.

Hearing Tu Zhenxiong's words, Ice-Cold Frost's heart stirred. It seemed this dog didn't know Lin Yuan was the one who killed him. That worked out perfectly...

"I'm foolish? You all know exactly what kind of person Kesley was; I've wanted to kill him for a long time! Even without Kesley, don't think you can run rampant in Great Xia, Tu Zhenxiong! Today is the day you die!" Ice-Cold Frost shouted sharply.

"Seniors, there's nothing to say to trash like this. Let's just do it!" Lin Yuan suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing his words, the atmosphere instantly became tense, and the great battle was about to erupt...
