“Brother Lin!?”
Su Qianqian trembled as she spoke, her voice filled with disbelief and panic… She truly hadn’t expected Lin Yan to show up inside the Holy Son Hall!!
Unlike Su Qianqian, Ye Mu’s lips curled into a smile… his heart bloomed with joy!
Heh… finally couldn’t hold it in, huh… Lin Yan!
But even though he was ecstatic inside, he still put on a surprised and confused expression.
“Lin Yan!? Why are you here!?”
Lin Yan ignored Ye Mu and turned to Su Qianqian, roaring in anger.
“Su Qianqian! This is what you meant by ‘something important’!?”
His form of address had changed from Junior Sister Su to Su Qianqian—clearly, his rage had reached its peak.
Su Qianqian’s face turned pale. Her voice shook, stammering, “I… I… I…”
Lin Yan clenched his teeth, looking utterly deranged!
“If I hadn’t come!! You two would probably already be in bed, huh!? Hahaha! Su Qianqian! I trusted you so much! Never in my life did I imagine you’d betray me! Hahaha!”
His words… were like sharp blades stabbing into Su Qianqian’s heart! Her autumn eyes gradually filled with tears!
After all, she was just a nineteen-year-old girl!
At that moment…
All the grievances she had held in for days came bursting out like a broken dam!
“I’m sorry… Brother Lin… I’m sorry!”
Su Qianqian closed her eyes tightly as tears streamed down her face. Her voice was thick with sobs!
“I…”
Seeing her like this, Lin Yan froze for a moment, suddenly wondering if he had gone too far with his words just now…
However, before he could think more—Ye Mu’s voice suddenly broke in coldly.
“You came this time, so it was interrupted… but before, you didn’t show up, did you?”
With those words, Lin Yan’s pupils shrank, and he turned toward Ye Mu.
“You… what do you mean!?”
Ye Mu smiled faintly, “Still don’t get it, Lin Yan? Your childhood sweetheart already gifted you a bright green hat… you’re just realizing it now.”
[Ding! Detected Lin Yan’s Dao Heart has been damaged. Gained luck point.]
As Ye Mu’s words fell, Lin Yan completely lost his mind!
The moment he roared, the pressure of a 7th stage Life and Death Realm erupted from Lin Yan’s body in full force!
A terrifying wave of heat swept out! Flames gathered in his palm and ultimately formed a massive silver-white fire serpent!
“Mystic-rank martial skill: Silver Flame Serpent!!”
Lin Yan’s eyes were bloodshot as he roared, “Die!!”
“Brother Lin! No!!”
Hearing his furious roar, Su Qianqian’s pupils shrank. She shut her eyes and cried out in fear!!
As an inner disciple, attacking the Holy Son in the Holy Son Hall was a major offense!! If Lin Yan wounded Ye Mu, it would be punishable by death!!
She didn’t want to see that happen!!
But… the arrow was already nocked and could not be withdrawn. The flame serpent in Lin Yan’s hand shot out in an instant! It slithered like a dragon straight toward Ye Mu!!
In mere moments, it reached Ye Mu’s front! It looked like it would devour him at any second!!
Su Qianqian’s face instantly turned deathly pale!
But just when she thought… Ye Mu was about to die—
Ye Mu merely smiled faintly.
“Heh! Playing with fire in front of me… how ridiculous!!”
As his voice fell—
BOOM!!
A deafening explosion rang out—!!
An overwhelming wave of heat erupted from Ye Mu’s body! Accompanied by terrifying pressure, it instantly shattered the silver serpent into dust!!
“What!! How is this possible!!”
Watching his attack dissolve so easily, Lin Yan’s face was filled with shock!!
With his innate fire veins, he had always considered himself a top-tier fire cultivator! When it came to playing with fire… not just in the Blissful Holy Land—even across the vast Archaic Dao Domain—few could rival him!!
But now!! The very person he once dismissed as a useless bootlicker had easily overpowered him in fire manipulation!!
“Heh… let me show you what a true fire cultivator looks like!!”
Just as Lin Yan stood frozen in shock, Ye Mu chuckled lightly and slowly raised his hand!!
In that instant!!
An unimaginably terrifying pressure suddenly erupted from Ye Mu’s body!!
Accompanied by a tidal wave of heat!! A blazing sun, radiating dazzling light and Supreme Yang Qi, appeared out of thin air above Ye Mu!!
“This!! What is that!!”
Even Lin Yan, the Child of Fate, was dumbfounded when he saw this!!
“Could… could this be… the legendary Solar Star!?”
Even Gu Xiyu, with all her knowledge, recognized it as the Solar Star! But her voice still trembled with shock!!
After all… even she, as a Half-Emperor powerhouse, had never seen a cultivator capable of summoning the Solar Star!!
Who exactly… was this Ye Mu!?
“Perish!!”
Before Gu Xiyu could think more, Ye Mu casually waved his hand!
In an instant, the Solar Star trembled violently, and its immense Supreme Yang Qi surged like a flood toward Lin Yan!! In the blink of an eye, it engulfed him!!
“Ahhhhhhh!!”
The burning pain covered Lin Yan’s entire body!! He howled in agony!!
Who knew how much time passed… but eventually, the Supreme Yang Qi faded. All that remained was a bloodied, wounded Lin Yan, gasping for breath, half-kneeling on the ground…
“Oh… you’re still alive!?”
Ye Mu raised an eyebrow. He hadn’t expected Lin Yan to survive…
Then, he suddenly noticed the faintly glowing ring on Lin Yan’s finger!
At once, he understood!
So Lin Yan had an old grandpa companion artifact, huh!
If he had that kind of assistance, surviving the earlier attack wasn’t so strange…
At the same time, Su Qianqian rushed forward to help the severely injured Lin Yan!
“Brother Lin! Are you alright!!”
“Don’t touch me!!”
Lin Yan suddenly roared, cutting off her movement!
Then he raised his head and glared at Ye Mu, fists clenched, jaw tight, and his voice filled with seething rage!!
“Ye Mu!! You’ve truly enraged me now!!”
