In the Eastern Region, there was no powerful Su Family.
But in the Central Continent, there was one!
The Central Continent Su Clan was a reclusive clan that had been passed down for tens of thousands of years. Their power was terrifying, belonging to one of the oldest and most top-tier clans on this continent.
Compared to the Central Continent Su Clan, the so-called Three Saints, Five Clans, and Nine Sects of the Eastern Region were far inferior.
"Senior, could you be from the Central Continent Su Clan?"
The tall elder from the Lei Clan asked cautiously, his face full of respect.
The other seven True Manifestation Realm experts also watched the black-robed elder nervously.
"That is correct."
Hands clasped behind his back, the black-robed elder spoke coldly with an indifferent gaze.
Upon hearing this.
All eight True Manifestation Realm experts trembled simultaneously, their faces revealing awe and reverence.
"So, Senior from the Central Continent Su Clan has graced us with your presence. We did not recognize you and were disrespectful. We beg for your forgiveness!"
All eight True Manifestation Realm experts bowed in unison.
"She is the young lady of our Su Family.
Do you intend to move against her?"
The black-robed elder pointed at Su Qingluo and asked.
The faces of the eight experts drastically changed.
"Senior, this is a misunderstanding.
We did not know Young Lady Su's identity just now.
Had we known who she was, no matter how bold we were, we would never have dared to show the slightest disrespect towards her."
The tall elder answered respectfully.
"Young Lady Su, I was muddle-headed earlier, my mind was clouded by delusion, and I spoke rudely and offended you. Please forgive this old man!"
The tall Lei Clan elder bowed deeply to Su Qingluo.
This was no joking matter. A young lady of the Central Continent Su Clan possessed a status of the utmost nobility. If she held a grudge over the earlier events and sought revenge in the future, the Lei Clan of the Eastern Region would be in serious trouble.
"Hmph!
You people are so cruel!
Look at how badly you've injured Ye Yunfei!"
Su Qingluo stared at Ye Yunfei, whose entire body was drenched in blood, her heart aching intensely as she berated them.
"Qing Luo, don't worry. These minor injuries mean nothing to me."
At this moment, Ye Yunfei had already swallowed several eighth-grade healing spiritual pills. The injuries on his body were healing at a startlingly rapid rate.
Upon hearing Su Qingluo's words, the faces of the eight True Manifestation Realm experts changed.
They hadn't expected Ye Yunfei to have a connection with the young lady of the Central Continent Su Clan.
Moreover, judging by the looks of it, their relationship was quite intimate.
If they had known Ye Yunfei had such an astonishing backer, they definitely wouldn't have dared to deal with him so brazenly and wantonly.
"Qing Luo, stop fooling around.
Given your status, how can you be entangled with such a nameless ant?
Come, return with me."
The black-robed elder swept a glance at Ye Yunfei, revealing disgust.
"No!
Ye Yunfei is injured. I want to stay with him.
Elder, please, save Ye Yunfei!"
Su Qingluo cast a pleading look towards the black-robed elder.
This black-robed elder was a formidable expert within the Su Family, his strength terrifying. If he were willing to act, these eight True Manifestation Realm experts before them would be no match at all.
"Qing Luo, enough!
You are the young lady of our Su Family, akin to a divine dragon in the heavens, lofty and exalted.
For you, this young man is merely an ant on the ground. Associating too closely with him would seriously tarnish the image of our Su Family!"
The black-robed elder's face darkened as he reprimanded.
At that moment, great joy flooded the hearts of the eight True Manifestation Realm experts.
They could see it now. Ye Yunfei was simply not welcome by the Su Family!
That made sense. How could a lowly fellow, even if possessing some small capability, ever be regarded by the exalted Su Family?
Probably only the peerless prodigies from those top-tier major powers on this continent would be worthy of the Su Family's young lady.
Thinking this, the eight experts all looked at Ye Yunfei with gleeful, mocking gazes.
"Elder, how can you speak like that!
Ye Yunfei, don't misunderstand..."
Su Qingluo anxiously looked towards Ye Yunfei, afraid he would resent her for this.
"Qing Luo, I understand what you mean.
No matter what others say, you are my woman.
One day, I will personally set foot at the doorstep of the Central Continent Su Clan to marry you.
But for now, go back with him first."
Ye Yunfei looked at Su Qingluo and smiled.
Su Qingluo immediately flushed red, lowering her head demurely.
"Who agreed to marry you?!" she thought to herself.
Yet, her heart felt sweet, as if she had eaten honey.
"This guy! He's really a toad dreaming of swan meat!
Is the young lady of the Central Continent Su Clan someone you can just marry if you want to?"
The eight experts shook their heads and chuckled derisively upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words.
"Wishful thinking!"
Rong Popo shook her head with a cold sneer, her gaze towards Ye Yunfei even more disgusted.
"Impudence!
How dare a nameless wretch like you sully the purity of my Su Family's young lady!
Our Su Family has stood on this continent for tens of millennia. Our lineage is ancient, our foundations profound.
The status of a Su Family young lady is of supreme dignity.
Moreover, Qing Luo has already received the family's recommendation and will soon enter the most prestigious academy on this continent, Hudao Academy.
And you? You're merely a small-time character from a remote little kingdom, a petty sect. Lowly as an ant! What qualifications do you have to marry Qing Luo?
Enough. What's the use saying these things to an ant like you?"
The black-robed elder's sharp eyes bore into Ye Yunfei, looking down upon him with overbearing arrogance.
"Hiss!
Hudao Academy!"
Hearing the black-robed elder's words, the eight experts inhaled sharply in unison.
Hudao Academy was a legend on this continent!
It was said that only the most top-tier, most monstrously talented peerless geniuses of the continent, after passing through layers upon layers of rigorous trials, might possibly join Hudao Academy.
And once one joined Hudao Academy, it was destined that they would become a major power who would command awe across the continent in the future!
"You should be grateful you are Qing Luo's elder.
Otherwise, just for insulting me with such words, one day, I would take the head from your shoulders."
Ye Yunfei swept a glance at the black-robed elder and said lightly.
"You dare! You seek death!
Very well! You have sullied the purity of my Su Family's young lady. Your crime is punishable by death!
Now, I grant you death!"
Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the black-robed elder instantly erupted in fury. Surging flames of anger soared skyward, solidifying like substance around his body.
He was a high elder of the Central Continent Su Clan, possessing a status of the utmost dignity. Wherever he traveled across the continent, it was like an emperor on patrol. Who dared to offend him in the slightest?
Now, an ant-like, nameless wretch actually dared to speak insolently to his face. How could he not be enraged?
Boom...
A volume of energy, so vast it was beyond imagination, erupted from his body.
Immediately, the valley churned with flying sand and rolling stones, the elements themselves seemed to shift, everywhere filled with a violent energy pressure.
Boom! Boom! Boom!...
The black-robed elder walked towards Ye Yunfei step by step. With each step, the entire valley shook violently, as if an apocalyptic savage beast were moving.
"A Yuan Foundation Realm mighty one!"
The eight True Manifestation Realm experts paled with fright, hastily retreating away. They felt as if the black-robed elder were an imposing, towering mountain they could not possibly resist.
"This kid Ye Yunfei is dead for sure!
To actually provoke a Yuan Foundation Realm mighty one!"
All eight experts looked at Ye Yunfei with gleeful, mocking eyes.
