28: If I don't kill you, am I still a villain?

Xuan Tianchen not only wanted Ye Fan to die without a burial place, but also intended to completely eradicate the Immortal Ye Family of the Vast Sea Immortal Domain in one fell swoop.

Moreover, he planned to achieve all of this under the guise of so-called justice.

Just as Xuan Tianchen and Ye Fan glared at each other, with swords drawn and bows bent.

Xuan Zhenfeng, the Grand Elder of the Xuan Clan, stroked his beard and said in a deep voice:

"Little brat, Tianchen, in his kindness, let you leave. It's one thing that you didn't appreciate it, but you dare to disrespect him so brazenly again? Do you truly not fear death?"

Xuan Zhenfeng's words did not carry any Quasi-Emperor Might, but the authority emanating from them still sent shivers down one's spine.

If it weren't for Ye Fan being merely a junior, and a cultivator of the small Immortal Lord Realm at that.

These Xuan Clan Elders, who had clawed their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, would have long since extinguished him with a flick of their fingers.

After all, Ye Fan was so audacious, daring to cause trouble within the Xuan Clan territory on the day of Xuan Tianchen's grand wedding.

This was already a capital offense, and one that warranted the eradication of his entire clan!

Seeing that a Quasi-Emperor Expert had spoken, Ye Fan politely responded, "Senior, it's not that this junior doesn't want to leave, but that this junior cannot!"

"If I leave, abandoning Ling'er here alone, then she will truly have no one else to rely on!"

As he spoke, Ye Fan gazed deeply at Ye Linger, his eyes filled with the same tenderness as in times past.

Seeing this, Ye Linger's heart was instantly touched, and ripples appeared in her beautiful eyes.

From beginning to end, Ye Fan had always treated her with such deep affection.

Yet, because she was threatened by Xuan Tianchen, she had broken Ye Fan's heart time and time again.

At this moment, watching Ye Fan, who was only at the Immortal Lord Realm, resolutely stand up for her, facing the behemoth that was the Xuan Clan alone.

Ye Linger could no longer hide the love in her heart for Ye Fan. With a flash of her figure, she resolutely stood by Ye Fan's side.

This time, it was for no other reason.

Only for Ye Fan, and to obey the deepest call of her own heart.

If she could not be with the one she loved forever, no matter where they were, it would be no different from dying in a foreign land!

Ye Linger's eyes welled up with tears as she softly said, "Ye Fan, take me with you!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan's face immediately lit up with joy, and he excitedly said, "Ling'er, are you truly willing to leave with me this time?"

"Mm-hmm!" Ye Linger nodded slightly, her appearance utterly adorable.

"Ling'er, if we can leave here alive today, will you be willing to accompany me to see the myriad mountains and rivers?"

"I am willing..."

"I understand. Stand behind me. I'll handle everything from now on!"

At this moment, after sensing Ye Linger's love for him.

Ye Fan felt as if he was filled with infinite, terrifying strength!

His gaze grew even more resolute, and his aura seemed much stronger than before.

Xuan Tianchen looked at this scene, slowly sighed, and his expression couldn't help but show a hint of sadness.

"Alas... I offered my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shone into a ditch!

Ye Linger, your heart isn't here, and it's useless for This Imperial Son to force you to stay. You may leave!"

"May all lovers in the world find their happy ending, and not suffer the unrequited love of This Imperial Son!"

Xuan Tianchen gave a bitter laugh, his voice filled with loneliness and helplessness.

"Xuan Tianchen, are you truly willing to let me leave?" Ye Linger looked incredulous.

After all, before today, the Xuan Tianchen she knew was a ruthless and decisive individual.

Throughout these days, he had always regarded her as his personal possession.

How could he let her leave so easily now!

A moment later, Xuan Tianchen said indifferently, "Yes, This Imperial Son means what he says!"

Ye Linger still found it hard to believe, and immediately asked again, "Why?"

"Love, born unknowingly, runs deep. Hatred, ended unknowingly, vanishes with a smile. That is all!" Xuan Tianchen looked relieved.

This scene fell into everyone's eyes, causing them to sigh with emotion, feeling it was unfair to Xuan Tianchen.

"I never expected the Imperial Son to not only possess world-shaking talent but also be such a deeply affectionate person!"

"Who knows how many favored daughters of the entire Upper Heavens wish to become dao companions with the Imperial Son. This Ye Linger is truly blind!"

"It's clear that the Imperial Son truly loves her, yet she chills his heart like this."

"Indeed, to be rejected on the day of the wedding, if it were me, I would eliminate this Ye Linger along with him!"

..."Since that's the case, we'll take our leave!" Ye Linger ignored the murmurs, grabbed Ye Fan's hand, and immediately prepared to depart.

Ye Fan also tightly grasped Ye Linger's jade hand, but the wariness in his eyes had not diminished in the slightest; instead, it had become even more serious!

After all, the Xuan Tianchen he knew was definitely not like this.

Judging from the divine sense message just now, Xuan Tianchen would certainly not let them leave so easily.

He was probably plotting some scheme, just waiting for the two of them to walk into a trap.

But what Ye Fan didn't know was that at this moment, he and Ye Linger had already walked into it!

"Wait, This Imperial Son only said I'd let *you* go, but I never said I'd let *you two* go!"

Xuan Tianchen's sudden voice caused Ye Fan and Ye Linger's bodies to stiffen, and they immediately stopped their steps, which had just begun to move.

Seeing this, Ye Linger shook her head and gave a bitter smile, "In the end, you still aren't willing to let us go!"

Xuan Tianchen smiled indifferently, "Ye Fan's actions today have utterly disregarded the dignity of my Xuan Clan.

This Imperial Son doesn't care, but my Xuan Clan is an Imperial Clan; how can it tolerate a mere Immortal Lord being so presumptuous!

Besides, This Imperial Son already gave him a chance just now!

If he were allowed to leave Xuanjian Immortal Domain safely now, where would the prestige of my Xuan Clan be in the future?

As the Xuan Clan Imperial Son, how could I allow the Xuan Clan to be disgraced! So... Ye Fan, are you ready to face your execution?"

As he spoke, Xuan Tianchen's aura surged, and a powerful Immortal Lord aura suddenly burst forth: "What a joke! If I don't eliminate you two scoundrels, then am I still a villain?"

Seeing this, Ye Fan's expression remained calm.

In the past, due to his insufficient cultivation and not using a quasi-emperor weapon, he was suppressed by Xuan Tianchen's single strike.

Now, with his Immortal Lord Realm sixth-level cultivation and two quasi-emperor weapons in hand, what did he have to fear!

As long as he could defeat Xuan Tianchen, there would be a glimmer of hope for survival.

At that time, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Xuan Clan's Supreme Experts would not be able to bring themselves to attack a junior like him.

Even if they wanted to attack him, they would have to weigh the consequences of two quasi-emperor weapons detonating within the Xuan Clan's territory!

Since he was already in a desperate situation, he might as well burn his bridges!

Thinking of this, Ye Fan's eyes instantly became incredibly resolute.

He immediately roared in a low voice, "myriad heavens reincarnation disk, appear!"

In that instant, a brilliant golden wheel, radiating the boundless Quasi-Emperor Might of a quasi-emperor weapon, suddenly manifested like a scorching sun, standing steadily behind Ye Fan.

As the golden wheel slowly rotated, its light flowed like water, and the surging Power of Reincarnation churned back and forth like tumultuous waves.

That powerful aura made people's hearts palpitate, as if their souls were about to be drawn in by it.

With the powerful support of the myriad heavens reincarnation disk, Ye Fan's own aura also ascended to a higher level.

"This... this is actually a quasi-emperor weapon!"

"So this child has a quasi-emperor weapon as a powerful reliance; no wonder he dared to act so recklessly in the Xuan Clan!"

"A quasi-emperor weapon, which even some Quasi-Emperor Experts do not possess, has appeared in the hands of a junior who is only in the Immortal Lord Realm. Am I seeing things?"

"With this child's Immortal Lord cultivation and a quasi-emperor weapon, he is definitely among the top ranks of the younger generation in the entire Upper Heavens!"

"What a pity; this is ultimately within the Xuan Clan! With only Immortal Lord cultivation, even with a quasi-emperor weapon, his fate is sealed; he won't be able to escape!"

...At this moment, with the appearance of the quasi-emperor weapon, the crowd instantly erupted into an uproar, and various discussions surged like a tide.

Even Supreme Experts and Quasi-Emperor Experts were filled with admiration for Ye Fan's astonishing talent.

In their opinion, the current Ye Fan might truly be able to contend with Xuan Tianchen, the leader of the prodigies of the upper heavens.

Only Xuan Zhenshi and All the Elders of the Xuan Clan remained calm, completely unfazed.

Ye Fan was indeed astonishing, after all, he had even brought out a quasi-emperor weapon.

But even so, it was far from enough to defeat their Xuan Clan's Imperial Son.

The true strength of Xuan Tianchen was unknown even to these old antiques of their Xuan Clan.

They only knew that since Xuan Tianchen's birth, he had never been defeated!

"Xuan Tianchen, this time, I will completely defeat you and crush your Imperial Son's dignity in one fell swoop!"

Ye Fan was full of confidence, displaying an arrogant demeanor!

"Oh? Is that so?" Xuan Tianchen smiled indifferently, his eyes filled with disdain.
