On the way, the Grand Elder looked unhappy. He had thought he could properly tease Chen Yi, but instead, the other party pointed out a bunch of his flaws. Most importantly, this detestable brat actually mocked him for not knowing how to cook!
Chen Yi followed closely behind the sulking old man, stepping with Ghostly Steps. He hadn't expected such a small retort to make the old man so depressed.
Chen Yi originally wanted to explain, but remembering the old man's arrogant personality, which was well-known throughout the Sect, he figured going up to him now would only add fuel to the fire. He could only muster all his strength to follow behind.
"Pa—"
Suddenly, the Grand Elder stopped. Chen Yi, having burst out with full speed, couldn't stop in time and crashed into the hand the Grand Elder had placed behind his back.
Adjusting his messy hair, Chen Yi gritted his teeth, looking at the old man in front of him.
"He did it on purpose, he definitely did it on purpose!"
In an instant, the idea of explaining to the Grand Elder vanished.
The Grand Elder, however, turned around with a half-smile, coughed twice, and said indifferently, "You ran into me yourself. This old man just wanted to give you a hand, who would have thought you were so impatient."
Seeing the deep amusement in the other's eyes, Chen Yi retorted, "Are you satisfied now? Has your anger subsided, old man?"
"This old man is famously magnanimous in the Sect, why would I bother with a little brat like you." The Grand Elder pouted. In his opinion, Chen Yi was slandering him. If you asked anyone in the Sect, they would say he was broad-minded.
Looking at the dense forest ahead, the Grand Elder grinned, "Kid, want to see a good show?"
"Good show?" Hearing this, Chen Yi was stunned. What kind of good show could there be in the wilderness of the Star Dou Great Forest? A rabbit transforming?
In a place like the Star Dou Great Forest, where even Advanced Spirit Masters didn't dare to act recklessly, not looking for trouble was an unwritten rule.
Hunting a spirit ring was not only an Opportunity for a Spirit Master to Breakthrough, but also a key to strengthening their trump cards. Usually, no one was allowed nearby except for extremely trusted relatives and friends, otherwise it would be considered a provocation to the former.
If the opponent was a Spirit Beast, then it was even more amusing. With the terrifying bestiality of Spirit Beasts, Spirit Masters of the same Rank might not even be able to avoid them.
If you wanted to watch them for fun, you'd better weigh whether you were qualified. There were many unfortunate people who died this way every year.
"Don't worry, it's not a major life-or-death crisis. It just so happens I can find you some protection." With that, the Grand Elder grabbed Chen Yi's fated neck and soared forward.
How terrifying was the speed of a Titled Douluo?
Soon, the two stopped behind a giant rock. This time, the Grand Elder didn't play riddles, extending his finger to point ahead.
Seeing the situation ahead, Chen Yi's eye twitched. He pointed ahead, speechless, "This is the protection you spoke of, old man?"
In the clearing ahead, two groups of people were in a standoff, the tense atmosphere making the surrounding air seem to solidify.
One side consisted of three figures who were particularly familiar—it was Ye Cien and his grandson, whom they had encountered at the restaurant a while ago. Beside them stood a giant man over two and a half meters tall.
The current Ye Cien was a completely different person from the kind old man in the restaurant. His usually calm face was now filled with rage, and eight spirit rings revolved rapidly around him at a visible speed. His cold eyes were locked onto the three people opposite, his killing intent undisguised.
The giant man, like an unshakeable mountain, held a large axe to block the grandfather and grandson. Below his feet, eight spirit rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, purple, black, black, black—unfolded in sequence. Although not the optimal spirit ring configuration, he was a genuine eight-ring Spirit Douluo.
The other side of the standoff also consisted of three people, a combination of two old and one young, whose aura was by no means weak. The leading old man was tall, his face covered in flesh forming an unsettling, ferocious grin.
Around him, two yellow, two purple, and four black spirit rings also revolved, making him a Spirit Douluo of the same Rank.
The middle-aged man beside him had a mocking expression, his gaze sweeping over the Ye Family members with undisguised contempt. Seven spirit rings bloomed in the air beneath his feet, and a powerful Spirit Saint aura spread uninhibitedly through the forest.
What surprised Chen Yi even more was that the spirit power swirling around these two individuals carried faint traces of blue lightning. Scales flashing with a cold luster appeared on their bodies, and their limbs transformed into ferocious Dragon claws.
Such an appearance indicated that they possessed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, known as the "Number One Beast Spirit in the World."(Self- Proclaimed)
With such a distinctive Spirit, the identity of the other group was already clear: they were definitely core high-ranking members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
The Grand Elder raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "How about it? This is the Number One Healing System Spirit Master in the world. In the future, as long as you have a breath left, he can save you, kid."
"People from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, how did the Ye Family get involved with them?" Chen Yi couldn't be bothered with the old prankster and turned to ask in a low voice.
Hearing this, the Grand Elder sneered, his tone cold, "God knows what kind of madness these lizards are up to again."
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was notorious throughout the continent. In terms of conduct alone, the Fisman Family seemed insignificant compared to them.
The latter only lorded over the Balak Kingdom, but the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's misdeeds in the Spirit Master's world were too numerous to count.
Most famously, to maintain their so-called Bloodline Legacy, they wantonly abducted female Spirit Masters with Dragon-type Spirits across the continent, causing countless people to complain bitterly.
However, when the Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu emerged, he severely reprimanded the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, which made them restrain themselves considerably.
The Grand Elder's gaze shifted between the two sides, finally resting on Ye Cien. He sighed, "It seems that although Ye Cien deterred many ill-intentioned individuals in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School incident back then, he also provoked some arrogant fellows to harbor evil intentions!"
Although Ye Cien had gathered a force capable of shaking the continent back then, his eventual inaction led some major powers to look down on him, especially the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, who considered themselves the best in the continent.
"So, shall we go?" Chen Yi looked at the two groups in a standoff, eager to try. The Body Sect had received a favor from the Ye Family; they couldn't not help with this.
"Why are you getting so carried away again, kid?" The Grand Elder covered his face helplessly. Hadn't he just taught him to assess the situation yesterday? Why was he suddenly trying to fly again?
"Isn't it because you're here, old man? A mere two old lizards are just a piece of cake."
Although Chen Yi himself was a weakling, he now had a big shot by his side!
A Rank 93 Titled Douluo, and a unique Mental-type one at that. Dealing with a Spirit Douluo and a Spirit Saint was nothing more than a walk in the park.
What's more, the people of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect were famously bullies, always hitting hard against the weak, but their bottom line was quite flexible when facing the strong.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have always proclaimed themselves the best in the world without actually challenging other Sects to prove themselves. So Chen Yi wasn't worried at all.
"That's true," the Grand Elder said, noncommittally to Chen Yi's words. With his strength, even if Yu Yuanzhen were present, protecting Chen Yi would be easy, let alone two mere Spirit Douluo and Spirit Saints.
"Ye Cien is a respected Elder on the continent. Since these lizards don't know what respect is, then I, this old man, will teach them how to behave."
