147: Li Zu

The Middle-aged Man flashed and appeared right in front of Lin Ye.

A powerful Dao Rhyme erupted right there.

The ground began to crack, attracting the attention of those nearby who wanted to see who was fighting here.

The Middle-aged Man's fist created a sonic boom in the air, with a cyan glow tracing a dazzling trajectory.

Facing this punch, Lin Ye had no intention of dodging; the wind from the fist made a strand of his hair sway slightly.

Wu Mingyue reacted immediately as well.

Her Phoenix eyes narrowed, and she said coldly, "You are courting death!"

She acted decisively, summoning a great seal, on which a few words were clearly inscribed.

"Having received the mandate from heaven, may one enjoy eternal prosperity!"

The crystal-clear seal erupted with blazing light and smashed into the fray, its roar like the sea and its might like a wave!

Seeing the seal incoming, the Middle-aged Man turned and threw a punch.

Boom!!!

A powerful roar resounded through heaven and earth, and the resulting shockwave directly tore up the surrounding ground, the force extending along the trenches that appeared in the ground all the way to a nearby mountain peak.

The mountain peak collapsed instantly.

A mere tentative exchange between Saints caused heaven and earth to tremble, forcing many Cultivators to bow their heads.

This showed just how terrifying the might of a Saint was.

The aura of the Imperial Dynasty drifted from Wu Mingyue's body, causing the Void Realm to distort, as if an Empress had descended upon the world.

On the other side, the Middle-aged Man was not afraid of this Imperial aura in the slightest; a profound Dao Rhyme surrounded him, adding a touch of ethereal elegance to his demeanor.

"Wu Mingyue, do you really intend to interfere in this matter? Lin Ye is nothing but a junior; why did you agree to this marriage alliance? It would be better to let me kill him, so that this marriage contract can be annulled, how about that?"

Hearing this, the icy aura on Wu Mingyue intensified.

Whether they were female Cultivators or ordinary women, it was clear that age was a forbidden topic for them.

The Middle-aged Man called Lin Ye a junior and said their marriage alliance was inappropriate.

He was originally just looking for an excuse to get Wu Mingyue to stop interfering.

But in her ears, she only heard him saying that she and Lin Ye were incompatible because they were simply not from the same generation.

Even with her imperial mindset, Wu Mingyue's expression grew increasingly ugly.

Zi Yuan and her Senior Sister gently covered their foreheads; they were clearly helpless regarding their father's words.

Just as Wu Mingyue was about to attack again, she felt a powerful aura approaching.

The Middle-aged Man felt it too.

Both of them looked up at the Void Realm and saw an old man walking down slowly; he had the hair of a crane and the complexion of a child, dressed in white, with an air of Immortal Qi.

Those who didn't know better would have thought he was some leader of the Righteous Path.

But both of them immediately recognized his identity.

Supreme Bliss Holy Land... or rather, the Old Ancestor of the Righteous Qi Sect.

This Old Ancestor had always walked in the mortal world and was always the first to appear, so it was hard for people not to recognize him.

He walked up to the two of them with a smile on his face.

"Don't mind me, you two continue. Oh right, little Yu, what were you about to do just now?"

The old man looked at the Middle-aged Man, his tone as if he were speaking to a small child.

Hearing this, Purple Reign's pupils constricted. He had not expected the Righteous Qi Sect to actually send someone, and the Old Ancestor at that.

He hadn't seen the forces of the Righteous Qi Sect arrive before, and news had spread that the Righteous Qi Sect was entering the Lingxu Battlefield from another entrance this time. How could they have suddenly arrived at this moment!

"He played me!"

Purple Reign subconsciously looked at Lin Ye on the side.

Lin Ye still had that calm expression, but when he looked at Purple Reign, there was a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Senior Li."

Wu Mingyue bowed to the old man, her tone carrying a hint of respect.

"Alright, Mingyue, you are the Dao Companion of our Saint; you are one of us in the future, so there is no need to be so polite. Just call me Ancestor Li."

"Yes, Ancestor Li."

Regarding the marriage alliance, Wu Mingyue had not the slightest resistance.

But Lin Ye would not be so narcissistic as to think that she had fallen for him at first sight. If the Princess of the Immortal Dynasty could be so obedient, then there must be some problem with the Immortal Dynasty.

Thinking back to what Purple Reign had said earlier, the Wu Dynasty was currently being provoked by many Immortal Dao Lineages.

Therefore, the marriage alliance was either to seek reinforcements or the Princess had other ideas.

It was definitely not just for the sake of finding a Dao Companion.

At this moment, Ancestor Li looked at Purple Reign with a smile, seemingly waiting for him to continue.

As the Sect Master, Purple Reign was naturally not a coward. Even with Ancestor Li present, he still spoke calmly: "Senior Li, the Saint of your Sect killed my eldest disciple on the spot not long ago. If my daughter hadn't been rescued, I fear she would not have escaped death either."

"He also spoke rudely to me earlier. With one life lost and these other two matters, I only want to teach him a lesson; that's not too much to ask, is it?"

"Oh?"

Ancestor Li glanced at Lin Ye in surprise. He had seen that young girl; she was quite lovely in appearance.

He hadn't expected Lin Ye to be capable of destroying such a flower!

But thinking of Lin Ye's "little hobbies," it seemed normal for him to do so.

After pondering for a moment, Ancestor Li said in a gentle tone: "Teaching him a lesson is naturally no problem. How about this, I will watch from here. Do as you please; I guarantee I won't shield him."

"..."

Hearing this, Purple Reign was speechless.

"You guarantee you won't shield him?"

"What are you using to guarantee that?! Who doesn't know the style of your Righteous Qi Sect."

"It's one thing not to actively cause trouble, but with you here, do I dare touch your Saint?"

"Saying all that was just to get you to reprimand Lin Ye half-heartedly in front of everyone, so that everyone would have a way to back down."

"And I have also implicitly backed down; is that still not enough!"

"Senior Li, the Old Ancestor of our Taiqing Mountain has also arrived; he should be an old acquaintance of yours. Why don't I lead the way for you so you can meet an old friend?"

Purple Reign's words were just to tell Ancestor Li that the Old Ancestor of their Taiqing Mountain had also arrived.

"Wouldn't it be better if everyone got along harmoniously!"

"If a fight really broke out, our Old Ancestor is no pushover either."

As an Old Ancestor, who knows how many years he had lived, how could Ancestor Li not understand the meaning behind the other's words?

Ancestor Li said with an amused look: "How many old fogies from your Taiqing Mountain have come? Don't worry, I will go find them in a while, but for now... I'd rather see how you intend to teach my Saint a lesson."

"Feel free to do it. I said I wouldn't shield him, so I won't. Do you not trust my character?"

"..."

"It's your character that I don't trust! There's not a damn bit of character in your Righteous Qi Sect!"

Of course, Purple Reign only dared to think this in his heart; there was no way he could say it to his face.

"Lin, did you hear what I said? Hurry up and step forward to let him teach you a lesson, otherwise, people will say my Righteous Qi Sect doesn't know manners."
