The man in red knelt heavily before Jiang Yang with a thud, his voice filled with fear and urgency: "Master, I deserve to die. I'm a step too late. Please forgive me!"

His body trembled slightly, as if he was extremely afraid of Jiang Yang's dissatisfaction.

Upon seeing this, the surrounding crowd erupted in a commotion. "Who is this man in red? Why is he so respectful to Jiang Yang?" one onlooker asked, his face full of doubt.

"Does he really have the ability to save Jiang Yang? Can he possibly defeat Jiang Yu and his ancestor?" another person questioned, his tone full of disbelief.

The disciples of Linlang Academy whispered among themselves, speculating about the identity and purpose of the man in red.

Jiang Yang looked at Jiang Yu, his smile growing increasingly arrogant, his eyes filled with provocation.

"Jiang Yu, do you see this? This is my confidence. Now, kneel down!"

His voice was high-pitched and shrill, as if he were announcing his "victory" to the whole world.

Then, he scanned his surroundings and roared, "And those behind you, come out here! If you kneel down and beg for mercy, I might spare your lives, otherwise..."

He deliberately dragged out his words, his eyes gleaming with malice.

Upon hearing Jiang Yang's words, Jiang Yu couldn't help but sneer, his eyes filled with disdain. "Jiang Yang, you think having such an incompetent person can turn the tide? You're too naive!"

Jiang Yu's body surged with spiritual energy, and his powerful aura spread outwards like a surging wave, causing the surrounding air to tremble.

Murong Xue and Lu Shaoyou exchanged a glance, a hint of worry flashing in their eyes.

Murong Xue said in a low voice, "The appearance of this man in red is too suspicious. I don't know how strong he is. Jiang Yu is probably in trouble."

Lu Shaoyou nodded slightly, his expression solemn: "Since Jiang Yang dares to be so arrogant, this man in red must be quite capable. I just wonder if the ancestor behind Jiang Yu will make a move."

The dean frowned as he observed the situation, pondering to himself, "Just how many tricks does Jiang Yang have up his sleeve? If he really causes a death in front of the academy, what will become of the academy's reputation?"

The onlookers stared intently at the man in red, trying to uncover more secrets from him. As they sensed his aura, they felt he was increasingly unfathomable. An elderly man with white hair spoke slowly and solemnly, "This person's aura is powerful and profound; he is no ordinary person. He is probably from some mysterious and ancient force."

A middle-aged cultivator in ornate attire chimed in, "I've heard that in the hidden corners of the cultivation world, there exist some unknown sects. They keep a low profile, yet possess unimaginable strength. This man in red might be from one of them."

"Perhaps he is a master from some reclusive family. Jiang Yang must have used some means to be able to command such a powerful person to serve him," a young rogue cultivator speculated with a look of surprise.

The disciples of Linlang Academy were also discussing the origins of the man in red. "Could it be that Jiang Yang saved this person by chance during one of his training missions, which is why he is so loyal to Jiang Yang?" a female disciple said, tilting her head.

"Hmph, with Jiang Yang's character, would he really go to save someone? I bet he used some underhanded means to coerce them into risking their lives for him," a male disciple retorted with a look of disdain.

Meanwhile, far away in the imperial palace of the Seven Star Immortal Dynasty, the emperor and his civil and military officials were watching the confrontation between Jiang Yu and Jiang Yang through a huge water mirror.

The appearance of the man in red in the water mirror surprised everyone.

The emperor frowned, his gaze fixed on the water mirror, and said solemnly, "It seems that Jiang Yang has such a powerful force behind him. This matter is becoming increasingly complicated."

A minister standing to the side respectfully said, "Your Majesty, the origin of this man in red is unknown, but he seems to be quite powerful. If he joins forces with Jiang Yang, Jiang Yu may not be able to withstand him."

Another military officer stepped forward, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Your Majesty, should we be sent to assist Jiang Yu? After all, if Jiang Yu can punish Jiang Yang, it would be a great relief to our Immortal Dynasty."

The emperor pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said, "We must not act rashly. Jiang Yu has a mysterious ancestor backing him, and this man in red has suddenly appeared. The situation is unclear. If we intervene rashly, we may invite trouble upon ourselves. Let's see how they respond first."

How could they, the Seven Star Immortal Dynasty, get involved?

The conflict between Jiang Yu and Jiang Yang was practically a disturbance caused by the powerful figures behind them within the territory of the Seven Star Immortal Dynasty.

Although the Jiang family had some influence within the Seven Star Immortal Dynasty, they were wiped out so quietly. The strength of the person behind Jiang Yu was simply unfathomable. The Jiang family had a deep foundation, with numerous powerful members and a supreme being backing them, yet even so, they were utterly powerless against the forces behind Jiang Yu, and were destroyed without warning.

Although the Seven Star Immortal Dynasty can be considered a regional hegemon, compared to such an existence, it is probably just a small fry compared to a big fish.

Jiang Yang suddenly had a red-clad helper appear out of nowhere. Judging from the red-clad man's demeanor, he was definitely not a good person. He might even be a master from some hidden force.

Jiang Yu has a mysterious ancestor behind him, and Jiang Yang has suddenly had this figure appear behind him. If these two forces really fight each other in the Seven Star Immortal Dynasty, our Immortal Dynasty will probably be razed to the ground.

The patriarch of the Seven Star Immortal Dynasty had finally managed to settle down. If he were to be dragged into another conflict because of this, it would be a huge problem.

Last time, even the Supreme Being behind the Jiang family fled at the mere sight of them. If the Seven Star Immortal Dynasty were to get involved, wouldn't they be asking for trouble?

Let Jiang Yu and Jiang Yang fight it out; whoever wins takes all the credit.

Once the outcome is decided, apologize to the winner, adopt a humble attitude, and perhaps you can still preserve the stability of the Immortal Dynasty.

If they rashly intervene and anger both sides, the Seven Star Immortal Dynasty will be doomed.

The fight between these two is like a battle between two fierce tigers; one cannot be an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire.

Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he hadn't impulsively ordered intervention.

Looking at the tense scene reflected in the water mirror, he silently prayed that the battle would end as soon as possible and not bring annihilation to the Seven Star Immortal Dynasty.

Damn it, can't we just go somewhere else to mess around?

It's all the Jiang family's fault!
Oh, the Jiang family has been wiped out?

That's all the Jiang family's fault!
You deserve to die!
At the same time, the emperor of the Seven Star Immortal Dynasty also did not want Jiang Yang to win.

After all, Jiang Yang is so wicked; he's been poisonous since childhood.

Now, can the person standing behind Jiang Yang be a good person?

……

In front of Linlang Academy.

Jiang Yang looked at Jiang Yu with utter arrogance.

"Dear brother, hehe, I'm only calling you 'brother' because I'm giving you face. If I didn't, what would you be?!"

"You really think I'm a member of the Jiang family?!"

Jiang Yang said with a smile, "I advise you to call out the person behind you and make him cut off one of his legs. I'm in a bad mood right now, but maybe he'll make me happy later, and I might spare his life."

Jiang Yu's face contorted with rage. He gritted his teeth and roared, "You're courting death!"

Jiang Yang chuckled and said, "I'm looking for death? I think you're the one looking for death!"

Jiang Yang looked at the man in red. The man in red stood up, raised his hand into a claw, and grabbed at Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yang said with a smile, "Be careful, don't kill him. Jiang Yu, once I catch you, I think the person behind you will definitely show up, right?"
