159: try

"Young Master Li, can you tell me properly how exactly you managed to escape?"

Crimson returned to the residence, sat at the stone table, and rested her chin in her hands. Her eyes sparkled, as if she really wanted to know what had happened.

Even for Li Haotian, it was somewhat difficult to explain such a matter. He couldn't exactly say that he actually possessed the strength of a Great Emperor; even if he did say so, it was unlikely anyone would believe him.

"Well, after they teleported me away, I hid my Qi, found a place to lie low, and eventually escaped."

Li Haotian casually fabricated a lie. The latter clearly didn't believe him, but she didn't continue to press the matter.

Just after the two of them returned to the residence, they suddenly heard a clamor of noise.

"Li Haotian, is it? Make him come out and see me!"

The foul-mouthed voice came from the gate of the residence. Li Haotian frowned and walked forward, feeling somewhat puzzled.

He remembered that he hadn't seemed to offend anyone during this period of time.

Crimson's expression was rather strange; she had clearly recognized the owner of the voice.

"This esteemed adult from the Chiyuan Sect, our Chief has gone out for some matters. Could you please wait a moment?"

Zhang Hai, feeling a headache coming on, blocked the entrance to the residence. As his Revered Master's Disciple, it was naturally impossible for him to let someone break into the house while his Revered Master was away. Thus, he stood righteously in front of the door, absolutely refusing to let this person get any closer.

"Heh, what qualifications does a Nirvana have to stop me? Do you know who I am?"

The man angrily wanted to throw a punch. Zhang Hai stepped forward, neither humble nor pushy. He was just a quasi-Emperor; even if he were strong, Zhang Hai was confident he could tie with him, or at worst, successfully escape.

Therefore, Zhang Hai was not afraid of his opponent at all.

Just as the two were confronting each other, Crimson quickly ran up and stood between them.

"Father, what are you doing!"

Once Crimson said this, Zhang Hai and Li Haotian were both stunned. The man in front of them was the Chiyuan Sect Sect Master, Crimson Gold?

"Daughter, let Father take a good look. Did you blow your eyes out during battle? Li Haotian of the Heavenly Profound Sect is a piece of trash! You haven't lived in the Heavenly Domain for a long time, so you might not remember this person, but Father knows!"

Crimson Gold cursed and swore. Clearly, upon hearing the name Li Haotian, he had immediately become anxious and rushed to the Fissure in a hurry, wanting to stop the two from developing their relationship further.

"He used to have some ability, but now he's long past it. Ever since his Meridians had problems, he stopped trying to Cultivate and became a decadent mess. I don't know what methods he used, or what sweet talk he used to trick you into this state. Once Father sees him, I will immediately expose his true colors!"

As Crimson Gold spoke, he tried to bypass his daughter to force his way in, but he was blocked firmly.

Lin Tianxuan's expression was somewhat gloomy. Behind him, the two fellows, Ghost One and Ghost Two, reacted quickly and immediately stepped forward, wanting to stop the man. However, they saw Lin Tianxuan shake his head because he had heard his Revered Master's voice in his mind, ordering him not to let his people take action.

"Uncle, hello. I am Li Haotian. Is there something you need from me?"

Li Haotian rubbed his temples. He only hoped that such troublesome matters would happen to him less frequently in the future.

Upon hearing this, Crimson Gold turned around with a sneer on his face: "So you're the brat who used sweet talk to trick my daughter, are you?"

"How can you be so shameless? My daughter is the future Sect Master of the Chiyuan Sect. Do you think the two of you are a match in status?"

"Furthermore, what qualifications does a useless, dispirited loser like you have to get close to my daughter? If you have any conditions, you can state them, and I can satisfy them. But you must promise me to stay away from my daughter in the future."

Crimson Gold knew that Li Haotian came from the Heavenly Profound Sect, so he was slightly more polite in his speech.

If it had been some small sect, he probably would have already taken action!

Crimson's expression was somewhat ugly. Although Lin Tianxuan had his Revered Master's order not to attack directly, he still clenched his fists, looking extremely angry.

This situation frightened Crimson quite a bit. Lin Tianxuan and those two Peak Great Emperor experts were simply the strongest existences in this world. The alien race had not sent any Peak Great Emperor Powerhouses to guard the front lines for a long time, and on the Human Race side, there were only two Peak Great Emperors guarding the town.

These three Peak Great Emperors were enough to crush everyone present!

If they fought outside the city, it would be fine, but if a war broke out within the city, the destruction caused would be immeasurable.

"Don't, don't, don't, Father, calm down!"

Crimson was somewhat annoyed. Her own temper was learned from her father, and since he was being so unreasonable, she was following his example.

"If you keep shouting here, it won't just be the Heavenly Profound Sect losing face, but also the Chiyuan Sect. You've made your daughter lose all face! I will never talk to you again!"

Crimson huffed and pushed the door open to enter the residence. Crimson Gold's expression changed instantly. He, who had been somewhat angry, immediately became very docile and hurriedly followed behind his daughter, constantly saying nice things, hoping to extinguish the anger in her heart.

"So he's a daughter-slave after all."

Zhang Hai curled his lips and muttered a complaint. No wonder Crimson was so rude before, actually wanting to make Senior Sister her Disciple; it seemed she had been spoiled since she was a child.

Everyone entered the courtyard together. Zhang Hai followed honestly behind them; he had come here because he also had matters to report to his Revered Master.

"Now, tell me properly, how exactly did you trick... or sweet-talk my daughter?"

Crimson Gold just wanted to rebuke him, but he was glared at fiercely by his daughter, causing him to swallow the words that were about to come out.

"Uncle, you've misunderstood. As for the specific details of this matter, let Crimson..."

"Hmph, I know. Didn't you just defeat Crimson over a hundred times in a single day? What is your Cultivation? Release it and let me see. If you are a quasi-Emperor, I'll acknowledge it. If not, you better weigh... er, think carefully about how to explain it."

Crimson pinched her father's arm hard, and the latter quickly changed his words.

Li Haotian didn't explain much further. He threw a punch directly at Crimson Gold's face. The terrifying force and powerful Qi immediately stunned Crimson Gold, who then subconsciously raised his hand to block.

As a man who had experienced life-and-death battles, plus the protection of a Magic Treasure, he only took a few steps back before steadying himself.

"Does this prove my strength?"

After Li Haotian finished speaking, he prepared to sit down and continue chatting. Now that he had revealed his strength, proving he had the capital to converse with the other party, he didn't expect Crimson Gold's eyes to suddenly light up.

"Good! You brat are actually quite capable. Spar with this old man!"

Crimson Gold loosened his muscles and joints, immediately releasing the aura of a Peak quasi-Emperor. His eyes were filled with Battle Intent. Although his daughter was important, he was also a berserker, obsessed with battle his whole life.

A junior actually had such ability; he wanted to test where the other party's limits were!
