12: You are here to perform a duet for this prince!

Accompanied by a whooshing sound echoing in his ears, a long spear burning with crimson immortal flames sped over.

Like a brilliant shooting star, it landed directly beside Ye Linger.

"Boom...!"

The moment the spear landed, the powerful impact caused the ground to tremble slightly.

The surrounding immortal energy seemed to ignite instantly, sending out waves of heat.

Immediately after, a handsome, slender figure stepped through the air from outside the main hall.

He moved with agile grace, his robes fluttering, and a mysterious light enveloped his body.

In just a moment, he appeared inside the main hall.

His toes slowly landed on the crimson spear, like a supreme expert descending upon the world.

For a time, he stood at the same height as Xuan Tianchen and the others.

"Ye Fan greets the Patriarch and All the Elders!" The young man nodded slightly towards Ye Nantian and All the Elders, his voice clear and resonant.

"It's the Ninth Level of True Immortal Realm!" Ye Nantian's eyes narrowed slightly, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

His gaze was fixed on Ye Fan, and a stormy sea raged in his heart.

As a Quasi-Emperor Expert, Ye Nantian had sensed from the very beginning that the newcomer was Ye Fan.

But now, feeling the Ninth Level of True Immortal Realm cultivation radiating from him, he couldn't help but marvel at his excellence.

After all, Ye Linger possessed the Primordial Sacred Body, and her talent had long surpassed that of her peers.

She was the cream of the crop among the younger generation of the Ye Family, and currently, she was only at the Eighth Level True Immortal Realm.

Yet, this Ye Fan, who usually kept a low profile, now displayed a cultivation realm that was actually one level higher than Ye Linger's!

All the Elders, seated to the side, also showed expressions of surprise and began to whisper amongst themselves.

"As Ling'er's guard, this Ye Fan has always been quite low-key; I never expected his cultivation to be so profound!"

"It seems our Ye Family has produced another peerless genius!"

"But his collision with This Imperial Son is not a good omen!"

Thinking of this, All the Elders couldn't help but sigh... Ye Fan turned to look at Ye Linger, his eyes filled with concern and tenderness: "Ling'er, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Ye Linger looked at Ye Fan, tears sparkling in her eyes, and nodded gently.

[Name: Ye Fan (Reincarnator)]

[Realm: Ninth Level of True Immortal Realm]

[Identity: Ye Linger's devoted guard, Child of Destiny of the Vast Sea Immortal Domain]

[Cultivation Method: Imprisoning Dragon Suppressing Prison Hand, Soaring Heaven Nine Forms]

[Artifacts: crimson flame spear (supreme dao artifact), myriad heavens reincarnation disk (quasi-emperor weapon)]

[Luck Value: 200,000 points]

After learning the origin of this 'little leek' in front of him, a sly smile immediately crossed Xuan Tianchen's lips.

"A Reincarnator? How interesting!"

Xuan Tianchen looked at Ye Fan before him, his gaze like a deep, cold abyss.

After a short while, he slowly said in a low voice: "This brother, have I, This Imperial Son, ever made an enemy of you?"

His voice was low and suppressed, as if carrying endless pressure, echoing throughout the main hall.

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan calmly replied: "Naturally not yet, but you..."

"Then who gave you the audacity to directly call This Imperial Son by his name!" Before he could finish speaking, Xuan Tianchen immediately interrupted him.

Xuan Tianchen's face instantly became extremely gloomy, and a powerful, sharp aura burst forth from him, causing the immortal energy within the main hall to instantly solidify.

Seeing this, Ye Fan remained completely unmoved.

He straightened his back, his gaze firm as he looked directly at Xuan Tianchen, and coldly retorted:

"Xuan Tianchen, do not rely on the Xuan Clan's power to act so arrogantly here. Justice in this world resides in people's hearts, and it's not for your Xuan Clan alone to decide!"

At this moment, the atmosphere in the main hall was extremely tense.

Everyone was silent, not daring to breathe.

Ye Nantian and All the Elders secretly broke out in a cold sweat for Ye Fan; they naturally knew that offending Xuan Tianchen would have unimaginable consequences.

But Ye Fan's stepping forward also gave them a glimmer of hope in their despair.

In their opinion, a Ninth Level of True Immortal Realm might truly have a chance to keep Ye Linger.

At that time, for the sake of its reputation, the Xuan Clan would not make things difficult for a junior.

At the same time, it was best for matters concerning the younger generation to be resolved by the younger generation.

It was not appropriate for these old fellows to interfere, otherwise, they would become the subject of gossip.

If this were to provoke the Xuan Clan's great anger, that was what they least wanted to see.

Xuan Tianchen smiled indifferently, "Hehehe, you don't even put my Xuan Clan in your eyes? What exactly makes you so inexplicably confident!"

Ye Fan showed no fear, "Hmph, what about the Xuan Clan? Ling'er's life's major events should be decided by her herself!"

His gaze became firm and fervent, and a resolute aura emanated from his body.

In his opinion, with his current Ninth Level of True Immortal Realm cultivation, he might not necessarily lose a fight against Xuan Tianchen.

"Patriarch Ye, is this the intention of your Ye Family?" As he spoke, Xuan Tianchen looked sideways at Ye Nantian.

The latter, seeing this, quickly said: "This is Ling'er's guard, eager to protect his master, which is why he offended This Imperial Son. It is not my intention, please calm your anger, This Imperial Son!"

"Oh, a mere guard can bark like a dog in the main hall? Has your Immortal Ye Family fallen to such a state? Then what is the need for its existence!"

Xuan Tianchen's tone was extremely cold, like the biting wind of winter, sending shivers down the spines of everyone from the Ye Family present.

Even Ye Nantian, as the Patriarch, instantly turned pale.

He quickly bowed and said: "Please calm your anger, This Imperial Son, my Ye Family has absolutely no intention of offending the Xuan Clan. This guard does not understand the rules, and I will certainly punish him severely."

This scene naturally fell into Ye Fan's eyes, "Patriarch, the Xuan Clan is so overbearing, are we just going to let them manipulate us? Push Ling'er into a pit of fire!"

"Shut up!" Ye Nantian immediately reprimanded in a deep voice.

"Patriarch Ye, you are so hesitant; do you want This Imperial Son to personally take action? This Imperial Son's patience has its limits!" Xuan Tianchen said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Ye Nantian immediately reprimanded Ye Fan, "Ye Fan, step down and go to the Enforcement Hall to receive your punishment!"

"Patriarch, I cannot obey. If Ling'er is not allowed to leave, I'm not going anywhere!" Ye Fan's eyes were filled with determination.

Xuan Tianchen watched this scene, then burst into laughter, "Hehehe, are you putting on a two-man show for This Imperial Son?"

As he spoke, Xuan Tianchen's aura suddenly erupted.

That powerful pressure, like surging giant waves, swept towards Ye Fan with destructive force.

The entire main hall trembled slightly under this pressure, and the space also groaned under the strain.

Seeing this, Ye Fan quickly leaped back.

Immediately after, the long spear burning with crimson immortal flames instantly transformed into a streak of light, falling into his hand with lightning speed.

The moment the spear entered his hand, crimson flames blazed fiercely, as if to incinerate everything around it.

Facing Xuan Tianchen, the leader of the younger generation of the Upper Heavens, the one who had killed him in his previous life, Ye Fan dared not be careless.

In the first instance, Ye Fan quickly shielded Ye Linger behind him, preparing to meet Xuan Tianchen's upcoming killing move.

His eyes were filled with gravity and vigilance.

He secretly swore in his heart that even if it cost him his life, he would fight for Ye Linger's freedom.

Even if the road ahead was a mountain of daggers and a sea of fire, even if he faced a behemoth like the Xuan Clan, he would never retreat.

For a time, the atmosphere in the entire main hall was extremely tense.

"Elder Yan, if anyone dares to interfere later, kill them without mercy!" Xuan Tianchen looked down at Ye Fan and said coldly.

"Yes, This Imperial Son!"

Elder Yan's gaze swept around, and the powerful sacred wheel behind him suddenly began to rotate.

If anyone dared to interfere in the upcoming battle, he would spare no effort to kill them.
