The gray-haired old man's face was ashen. He tried his best to remain calm, but the cold sweat on his forehead betrayed his inner fear.

He stared at the enormous fireball above Xiao Yan's head, feeling the power that could destroy everything, and finally gritted his teeth, waving his hand: "Let's go!"

The Qin disciples, feeling as if they had been granted a pardon, quickly withdrew their encirclement and followed the old man away in a dejected manner.

Before leaving, the gray-haired old man turned back and glanced at Zhu Chen, his gaze filled with a complex mix of emotions, but even more so with deep apprehension.

He didn't utter any harsh words, and simply disappeared into the horizon.

"Tch~, just a bunch of spineless cowards, how boring..."

Upon seeing the Qin clan members leave, Xiao Yan immediately adopted an arrogant demeanor.

He withdrew the fireball from his hand, then looked down at the cultivators who were still watching and shouted, "Listen up, all of you! If anyone dares to provoke my sister-in-law again, or mock her with words, don't blame me for being ruthless. I don't care if you're from the Demon Dragon Dao Sect or some other damned ancient sect, if anyone dares to touch a hair on my sister-in-law's head, I'll make your entire sect disappear..."

The entire room fell silent once again.

The cultivators were all terrified and didn't dare to even breathe loudly.

Some people even turned and ran away, afraid of being targeted by this madman.

"Let's go, let's go quickly..."

"Damn it, those three are terrifying! I'll have to avoid them from now on!"

"Next time you enter a secret realm, make sure you don't run into them, or you won't even be able to save your life, let alone find any opportunities!"

"Yes, yes, those three guys are crazy. We'd better not mess with them..."

In an instant, the street, which was originally packed with people, was almost completely empty.

The remaining cultivators all lowered their heads, pretending not to have seen anything, and quickly left the area.

Qingyi watched this scene, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

She walked to Zhu Chen's side and said softly, "Aren't we being too blatant by acting so publicly? There are quite a few disciples from ancient sects and aristocratic families gathered in Tianyuan City right now..."

Zhu Chen turned to look at Qingyi, raising an eyebrow and saying, "What, are you scared?"

Qingyi shook her head: "It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that this is, after all, the territory of the Qin Clan of Immortal Mountain. That Qin Clan Chief, Qin Changsheng, is said to have cultivated his Five Elements Dharma Body to the highest level, with each Dharma Body possessing the cultivation of a sect leader, making his strength comparable to a Supreme Being of the Immortal Palace. If we slap him in the face like this, will he...?"

"What are you afraid of?"

Before Qingyi could finish speaking, Xiao Yan landed from the sky and interrupted her casually, saying, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. No matter how powerful that Qin Changsheng is, can he be more powerful than my brother? My brother is someone who survived even the hands of the Immortal Palace Supreme!"

Qingyi opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know how to refute it.

Because what Xiao Yan said was also true.

Zhu Chen survived the attack of the Supreme Being of the Immortal Palace, which means that the other party must have some methods that would make even a Supreme Being cultivator wary.

Although Qin Changsheng is powerful, in terms of true strength, he is probably not as good as the Immortal Palace Supreme.

After all, being comparable to a Supreme Realm cultivator does not necessarily mean that one's strength is equal to that of a Supreme Realm cultivator.

Zhu Chen knew what Qingyi was worried about, so he quickly said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing..."

Seeing that Zhu Chen seemed confident, Qingyi didn't say anything more, but simply nodded.

"—Buzz!"

Just then, a strange distortion suddenly appeared in the void around Xiao Yan.

Zhu Chen glanced to the side and saw two figures appear out of thin air, landing steadily in front of them. It was Lin Dong and Han Li!
"Haha, big brother, I'm here!"

Lin Dong greeted Zhu Chen with a smile, then looked at Xiao Yan standing next to Zhu Chen and asked in surprise, "Fourth Brother, you're here so early?"

Xiao Yan shrugged and said, "Anyway, I don't have anything to do in the Battle Through the Heavens world right now, so coming here is a good opportunity to test my Emperor Realm cultivation!"

Lin Dong pressed on, "So we're not late, are we?"

Xiao Yan chuckled: "I'm late..."

Han Li frowned: "What? Could it be that the Tianyuan Secret Realm has already ended?"

Xiao Yan waved his hand: "No, I heard from my elder brother that the secret realm won't open for another half a month..."

Han Li looked puzzled: "Then what do you mean by saying we're late?"

Xiao Yan proudly raised his chin: "Because you just missed a great show. I just unleashed a powerful move here, which stunned everyone in Tianyuan City. The scene was incredibly exciting, tsk tsk~, it's such a pity you didn't see it!"

Han Li: "..."

Lin Dong: "..."

The two looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

They thought they had missed something important.
I never expected Xiao Yan to say this...

Han Li ignored Xiao Yan's boasting, turned to Zhu Chen, clasped his hands in greeting, and asked, "Brother, how is the situation now?"

Zhu Chen nodded and said, "We just arrived. The Tianyuan Secret Realm won't open for another half month, so there's still plenty of time."

Han Li breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. He wanted to ask Zhu Chen some more questions, but Lin Dong noticed Qingyi at that moment.

His eyes lit up, and he leaned closer to Xiao Yan, asking, "Fourth Brother, who is this young lady? I've never seen her before."

Xiao Yan chuckled and lowered his voice, saying, "This is also our sister-in-law."

Lin Dong was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening and stepped forward to greet Qingyi with a fist and palm salute: "This young man, Lin Dong, greets sister-in-law!"

Seeing this, Han Li followed and bowed respectfully: "I am Han Li, greetings to sister-in-law."

When Qingyi saw the two men who suddenly appeared call her "sister-in-law," her face instantly turned red to the roots of her ears.

She looked at Zhu Chen with a hint of panic, bit her lip, and said, "Zhu Chen, could you... please stop letting your brothers call me that?"

Zhu Chen deliberately raised an eyebrow and smiled, "What's wrong? Did they call me that wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Qingyi's face turned even redder, and she lowered her head, saying, "What you say is true, but..."

Xiao Yan, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but laugh and interjected, "Sister-in-law, don't be so 'but.' She's our eldest brother's woman, what else should we call her but 'sister-in-law'? Should we call her 'little sister'?"

Lin Dong nodded repeatedly, "That's right, that's right, sister-in-law, don't be shy, we're all family from now on!"

Although Han Li did not speak, a smile appeared on his face.

Qingyi was flustered by their constant calling her "sister-in-law" and could only blush and hide behind Zhu Chen.

Zhu Chen smiled and shook his head, saying to Xiao Yan and the others, "Alright, stop teasing her. Let's find a place to stay and wait for Luo Feng and Shi Hao to arrive."
