Ye Xuan shook his head and chuckled. “Do you think just because you’ve taken the position of chief disciple you can be so arrogant? Believe it or not, with just one word, I can have you expelled from the Emperor Immortal Sect?” Guo Yuancheng said coldly. “Oh?” Ye Xuan looked at Guo Yuancheng with a mocking smile and said, “Well, I’d like to see you try.” Seeing Ye Xuan’s arrogance, Guo Yuancheng immediately became furious and said coldly, “Jiang Jing, immediately remove this man’s position as Chief Disciple and expel him from the Emperor Immortal Sect!” “And by the way, tell the Luotian Sacred Land that the murderer is no longer a member of our sect. Let them deal with him, and stop bothering our Emperor Immortal Sect!” As soon as Guo Yuancheng spoke these words, the expressions of everyone present subtly changed. Seeing that Jiang Jing showed no reaction, Guo Yuancheng frowned deeply and said sternly, “What now, are you planning to defy my order?” You must know, a Supreme Elder holds a higher position in the sect than even the Sect Master. Even if Jiang Jing is both an Elder and the Sect Master’s wife, she still has to defer to the Supreme Elder. “Supreme Elder, Ye Xuan has been a meritorious servant of our sect. Although he killed Zhao Yulong, he also stopped the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect for our Emperor Immortal Sect!” Jiang Jing gritted her teeth and spoke out. Guo Yuancheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said indifferently, “His merits do not excuse his faults, and this man has no regard for authority and behaves lawlessly. Who knows what trouble he’ll bring to our sect in the future? He must be expelled!” “If you won’t do it, then I will take matters into my own hands!” Guo Yuancheng snorted coldly. Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed, a hint of cold light flashed through them, and he said slowly and deliberately, “Old man, don’t push your luck. Where were you when the Emperor Immortal Sect faced its crisis? Now you come out and bark orders? Believe it or not, I’ll chop you down?” Others might fear the Supreme Elder, but who is Ye Xuan? The formidable Undying Night Emperor – would he fear a Supreme Elder? “Do you see the kind of behavior your appointed Chief Disciple exhibits? He can’t even follow the most basic virtues of respecting his teachers and the Dao, and yet he holds such a title?” Guo Yuancheng pointed at Ye Xuan, furiously scolding him in front of Jiang Jing, Qiu Wenhan, and others. The crowd remained silent. In fact, in their view, Ye Xuan was the one making sense… Ye Xuan laughed again and said lightly, “Well then, are you my teacher, or are you my Dao?” “You impudent fool, courting death!” Guo Yuancheng was uncontrollable with rage. A terrifying pressure burst forth from Guo Yuancheng, dominating the entire Emperor Great Hall! Suddenly, everyone’s faces turned somewhat pale. It was undeniable that Guo Yuancheng, as a Supreme Elder, was extraordinarily powerful. “Can’t win an argument, so you resort to violence? Just as expected of a Supreme Elder,” Ye Xuan said with a grin, not concealing the slight irony in his eyes. At these words, the oppressive force from Guo Yuancheng suddenly withdrew, and he narrowed his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing through his mind. This Ye Xuan was much calmer and more composed than he had expected. “I acknowledge that you indeed have courage,” Guo Yuancheng said quietly. “But remember, the people of the Luotian Sacred Land must not be harmed, understand?” Guo Yuancheng suddenly changed his tone, causing Jiang Jing and others to be somewhat puzzled. What exactly was the Supreme Elder up to? However, hearing that Guo Yuancheng also insisted on not harming them, they all felt bitter inside. With things having reached this point and their declaration already made, the Luotian Sacred Land clearly had no intention of offering them the Spirit Stone Mine and Medicine Field. If they refrained from acting against the Luotian Sacred Land, it would turn the Emperor Immortal Sect into a complete laughingstock. The Upper Country’s disapproval was one thing, but for the Supreme Elder to rush back and also prevent them was another. “Just because you say we can’t, we mustn’t? Those people aren’t even captured by you,” Ye Xuan said lightly. Guo Yuancheng raised his eyebrows, stared intently at Ye Xuan, and said sternly, “Boy, I admire your guts and didn’t want to harm you, but if you persist in this endless defiance, I might lose my patience.” “I’ve said before, strike at the third quarter of the hour,” Ye Xuan stated firmly, without backing down. “Are you truly forcing me to expel you from the sect?” Guo Yuancheng said coldly. “You aren’t qualified to do that,” Ye Xuan responded. “Oh?” Guo Yuancheng slowly rose to his feet. Rumble———— An immensely terrifying force suddenly erupted, causing a tingling sensation on everyone’s scalp. Guo Yuancheng seemed like a slumbering old dragon awakening, and even a slight release of his breath felt as if it could crush a mountain range! Just earlier, Guo Yuancheng had not truly utilized his oppressive power. This time, Guo Yuancheng was truly furious! Boom! However, at that moment, an even more overpowering Divine Thought suddenly descended from the sky, almost instantaneously sweeping away Guo Yuancheng’s terrifying pressure! Following that, a phantom suddenly appeared in the hall. The phantom was a figure, indistinct and blurry. But the moment they saw this phantom, everyone inside the Emperor Great Hall was shocked and hurriedly bowed, saying, “We pay our respects to Old Ancestor!” The person who came was one of the three Supreme Elders of the Emperor Immortal Sect! “We pay our respects to Old Ancestor!” Guo Yuancheng was taken aback and also knelt on the ground. Only Ye Xuan stood there, remarkably calm, as if he had not seen the Old Ancestor’s arrival at all. Seeing this scene, the phantom couldn’t help but shake his head and chuckle, but soon he restrained his smile, looked at Guo Yuancheng, and said slowly, “Ye Xuan was chosen by the Ancestor Master, and I personally sealed him as his Chief Disciple. If you have any objections, feel free to come talk to me. You should not make things difficult for Ye Xuan.” “Furthermore, the Luotian Sacred Land wanted our sect to fall apart, but it was Ye Xuan who turned the tide. He is a great contributor, and the Luotian Sacred Land is the enemy. This time, we will follow what Ye Xuan said, at ‘three quarters after noon’, directly execute by decapitation.” “Do you understand?” With these words, Jiang Jing and others were overjoyed. But Guo Yuancheng’s expression changed, and he hurriedly said, “Old Ancestor, it must not be done…” “I said, at ‘three quarters after noon’, directly execute by decapitation!” The Old Ancestor interrupted Guo Yuancheng directly. Guo Yuancheng’s expression turned ugly, and even though he was extremely reluctant, he could only bow his head, “I will obey the Old Ancestor’s command.” But in his heart, he grew even more displeased with Ye Xuan. What “chosen by the Ancestor Master,” complete nonsense! If the Ancestor Master had a spirit, why would the Emperor Immortal Sect have come to this? Guo Yuancheng muttered to himself in secret, but these words, he did not dare to speak aloud. After the Old Ancestor finished speaking, he disappeared from the hall. As the Old Ancestor vanished, the overpowering Divine Thought also disappeared, making everyone feel lighter and breathe a sigh of relief. The Old Ancestor had finally resolved the matter. “Old fellow, have any objections now?” Ye Xuan glanced at Guo Yuancheng and smiled. Guo Yuancheng’s face turned slightly somber, and he snorted coldly, “Don’t think that just because the Old Ancestor backs you, you can turn the heavens. Just wait and see, I really want to see what kind of fruits you’ll reap after you execute those from the Luotian Sacred Land.” With that, Guo Yuancheng left with a flick of his sleeves. It was clear that Guo Yuancheng was harboring endless murderous intent, but because the Old Ancestor had intervened, he dared not erupt. As Ye Xuan watched Guo Yuancheng leave, he muttered, “Old Ancestor backing me? If that old man had not shown up, you would have been dead on the spot…” His words immediately made everyone in the hall feel a chill. They knew, Ye Xuan controlled the mysterious power of the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple, able to easily kill Yuan Zankong, the Great Protector of the Luotian Sacred Land. Also, Supreme Elder Leng Rufeng, he was slapped to death outright. Guo Yuancheng’s strength was not much different from Leng Rufeng’s. If they really provoked Ye Xuan, it was clear who would suffer. However, in Guo Yuancheng’s view, it was the Old Ancestor backing Ye Xuan. Little did he know, if the Old Ancestor hadn’t appeared, Ye Xuan would probably have slapped him dead already… “Ye Xuan, no matter what, Guo Yuancheng is still the Supreme Elder of our Emperor Immortal Sect. Although there are disagreements, he is ultimately one of our own. You should not strike him,” Jiang Jing said to Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan nodded slightly and said, “Don’t worry, if he truly is one of our own, I naturally won’t make a move. However, if he grows a traitorous bone, don’t blame me for not being merciful.” “Everyone get ready. This time, there should be quite a few Sect forces coming to ‘witness.’ Let’s not allow these people to look down on our Emperor Immortal Sect,” Ye Xuan waved his hand and said. As he spoke, Ye Xuan left alone. Zhou Youwei followed him. Meanwhile, the people in the hall glanced at each other, unsure what to make of each other’s reactions. Guo Yuancheng, being the Supreme Elder of the Emperor Immortal Sect, wouldn’t possibly be traitorous, right?
