497: Is Tongtian just a useless mortal?
At the moment Tongtian appeared, the members of the Yue Family were overjoyed. Who didn't know he had come with Su Chen? Now that he had stepped forward, wasn't it the same as Su Chen stepping forward?
"Acting?"
Zhou Yunpeng narrowed his eyes and immediately looked toward Yue Bingshan, his eyes filled with cold killing intent.
He had always been a very sensitive person and would not leave any loose ends for himself. Although Yue Bingshan had defected to him, he intended to kill him directly after using him.
However, the words Tongtian spoke made him somewhat puzzled.
The people of the Yue Family were the same. They keenly noticed that after Tongtian said those words, the emotions being brewed by both Yue Bingshan and Yue Haoming seemed to be interrupted.
Cultivators were inherently extremely sensitive, and everyone immediately sensed something unusual.
Could there really be some scheme between the Family Head and the Grand Elder?
Many members of the Yue Family felt slightly relieved. They highly approved of Yue Haoming. If Yue Haoming had truly been someone who murdered his father, it would have been too great a blow to them.
In a Family, the Family Head was like a stabilizing force.
If Yue Haoming was still there, they could fight to the death against the Zhou and Yang families. But if Yue Haoming was gone, they would be as good as waiting for death, without the slightest will to fight.
Yue Haoming couldn't care about anything else and hurriedly asked, "Little Young Master, what about your Young Master?"
He felt somewhat helpless in his heart. Don't just talk; if you're going to help the Yue Family, at least show your face.
Su Chen's background was very mysterious, and almost no one in the outside world knew him. Naturally, it was impossible for the Zhou and Yang families to know Su Chen. If he didn't show up to demonstrate his strength, these two families would definitely not leave today.
Of course, there was no need to demonstrate strength. Even if he just stood at the entrance of the Yue Family with the Three-tailed Fox, the Zhou and Yang families would naturally retreat.
Tongtian looked at Yue Haoming and said in a calm tone, "For such a small matter, I am enough. Why would we need my Young Master?"
Ah?
Hearing this, all the Yue Family members present were stunned. Their eyes were full of confusion and doubt, and then they kept looking Tongtian up and down.
Tongtian's aura was very immature. It was clear that he was truly a child and not some old monster in disguise. Yet, a child who looked three or four years old actually dared to say he would resolve the Yue Family's predicament?
One must know that within the Zhou and Yang families, there were not only two True Immortals but also many Heavenly Immortal experts. Forget Heavenly Immortals, even just an Earth Immortal Cultivator could easily obliterate Tongtian, right?
Yue Haoming's expression immediately turned ugly. He felt as if he were being played.
If Su Chen really only intended to let this child help the Yue Family, wouldn't that be equivalent to not intending to help them at all?
The Yue Family was on the verge of being wiped out, yet they were still being toyed with. This made Yue Haoming incredibly angry, but he still didn't dare to show it.
Yue Haoming still wore a forced smile, unwilling to give up. He said with a stiff face, "Little Young Master, the Zhou and Yang families are powerful and have True Immortal Cultivators. Can you really resolve this?"
Many people had seen the Yue Family's actions. Many also knew about Su Chen entering the Yue Family with the Three-tailed Fox earlier, including Zhou Yunpeng.
This was also the reason why he hadn't directly attacked upon arriving.
Zhou Yunpeng was no fool. There was now a powerful expert of unknown identity within the Yue Family. If he truly intended to help the Yue Family, it would certainly be disadvantageous for them.
But... Zhou Yunpeng's eyes were extremely cold. He had heard about the incident with the Three-tailed Fox and Su Chen. To be able to kill three True Immortal experts, their strength was most likely at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level.
But even if it were a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, it would be impossible to stop them today.
The corners of Zhou Yunpeng's mouth curled up slightly. Since he knew the Yue Family had a powerful expert and still dared to come, he must have come prepared.
If that expert really helped the Yue Family, he also had a way to counter it.
Tongtian remained calm and composed: "Just two mere True Immortals."
Although his strength had not yet fully recovered, let alone a True Immortal, he could even directly slay a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.
"Hehe, what a joke. A brat like you dares to speak so arrogantly?"
Zhou Ning of the Zhou Family couldn't help but snort coldly, his eyes full of disdain: "Your hair hasn't even fully grown yet. Do you even know what a True Immortal Cultivator is?"
"I see that the cultivation aura on your body is weak. A piece of trash who hasn't even broken through the Mortal Realm actually dares to speak like this."
The sound of sneering immediately rang out, clearly showing extreme contempt for Tongtian.
Zhou Ning continued, "Kid, I advise you to quickly call your Young Master out. This isn't something you can decide."
Zhou Yunpeng also smiled slightly. He raised his hand and took out a token engraved with 'Shangyun' and the character 'Qing' on the front.
"Do you recognize this token?"
The moment he took out the token, everyone shifted their gaze to it. After seeing the appearance of the token clearly, everyone present's expression changed drastically.
Expressions of terror appeared on everyone's faces.
Shangyun naturally referred to the Shangyun Sect.
This was a true super power, possessing terrifying Immortal King experts. It was simply not something any force in Jueyang City could compare to.
As for the character 'Qing', although no one present was from the Shangyun Sect, they still had some understanding of it.
These kinds of tokens usually belonged to individuals, and those who possessed custom tokens definitely held a status of at least an Elder within the Shangyun Sect.
*Hiss!*
The sound of people gasping for air rang out continuously.
The Shangyun Sect was actually behind the Zhou Family?
How is that possible!
Among the Seven Great Families in Jueyang City, not a single Family could obtain the identity token of a Shangyun Sect Elder. The implications were too great.
Being able to get an identity token meant they could almost be considered a confidant.
They didn't understand why the Zhou Family could receive the favor of a Shangyun Sect Elder. It made no sense at all.
Not just outsiders, even Yang Li, the partner, looked at Zhou Yunpeng in shock and uncertainty. Even he didn't know that Zhou Yunpeng had a connection with a Shangyun Sect Elder.
Zhou Yunpeng wore a cold sneer: "Destroying this Yue Family is by the order of Elder Li Qing of the Shangyun Sect."
"Kid, why don't you go back and tell your Young Master to leave on his own? If he continues to meddle in the Yue Family's affairs, he won't just be opposing my Zhou Family, but the Shangyun Sect."
He was full of confidence. In a place like Jueyang City, let alone an Elder of the Shangyun Sect, even just a Disciple would be enough for the Seven Great Families to take seriously.
Let alone an Elder!
He estimated that Tongtian and the Young Master behind him would be scared out of their wits upon hearing the name of a Shangyun Sect Elder.
Upon hearing Zhou Yunpeng's words and seeing the token in his hand, many members of the Yue Family slumped to the ground, their faces filled with despair and fear.
"How can this be... Why would an Elder of the Shangyun Sect specifically order the destruction of our Yue Family?"
"What does my Yue Family have that's worth the Shangyun Sect's attention?"
Every member of the Yue Family had a look of confusion and unwillingness on their faces. The scene before them exceeded their understanding..."}],
