"Want to see? But you don't know how to watch?" Evan Yang smiled.
"Of course, I want to see if you can really defeat a ninth-tier Xuan-Immortal, or if it's just hype," Leon Li, the white-clothed Li Family envoy, sneered.
"Sorry, I don't have time for that. If you really want to watch, maybe next time when I'm free," Evan Yang smiled, directly refusing him.
Leon Li was so angry he snorted, "You think refusing will help? Take this!"
Victor Chu quickly stepped in to block Leon Li, saying, "Brother Li, if you treat my guest like this, I won't be polite either."
"Brother Chu, are you really going to ruin relations between our two families for his sake?" Leon Li said angrily.
"He is my son's master, which makes him an honored guest of my family. No matter what you try, the Chu Family will protect him to the end!" Victor Chu declared.
Chase Chu chimed in, "Yeah! Don't think your Li Family is anything special!"
Leon Li hadn't expected the Chu Family to actually stand up to him. But such a confrontation would only hurt both sides and give others a chance to take advantage, so he withdrew his aura and said, "I don't believe you can protect him forever, or that this coward will hide here forever!"
Then Leon Li led his people away in anger.
"So annoying," Chase Chu said.
"Alright, it's over now," Victor Chu said. Evan Yang also expressed his gratitude, "Thank you for stepping in, Senior."
"This was caused by our Chu Family. If anyone should apologize, it's me," Victor Chu sighed, having already seen through Leon Li's intentions today.
Chase Chu also felt a bit embarrassed and said, "Master, it's all my fault. If I hadn't used your technique yesterday, they wouldn't have targeted you."
"What are you talking about? I've offended plenty of people already, so I don't care about one more. Don't worry about it," Evan Yang smiled.
Whether Evan Yang was comforting the Chu Family or really meant it, everyone in the Chu Family admired him.
"Alright, that's enough for now. Xiao Yi, you go back and keep cultivating. I'm going to take a walk outside," Evan Yang said.
"You want to go out? Absolutely not!" Hearing Evan Yang wanted to leave, Victor Chu exclaimed in alarm.
"Don't worry, Senior. Even if the opponent is Emperor Realm, if I want to leave, they won't be able to find me," Evan Yang smiled.
Victor Chu and the others really couldn't understand where Evan Yang's confidence came from. They wanted to say something, but Evan insisted on going out, so they could only let him leave, reminding him to return to the Chu Family immediately if there was any danger.
Evan Yang nodded, then walked into the city with Hannah Nangong.
As for Leon Li, he angrily muttered to himself along the road for quite a while, until someone behind him said, "Big brother, are we just going to let this go?"
"Let it go? How could I? Didn't I have you all watching the Chu Family gate? If there's any news about him, report to me immediately. I want to see if he's really as powerful as they say. If he is, all the better—we'll take it for ourselves," Leon Li snorted.
The others also wanted to see Evan Yang's abilities, so they could seize them for themselves and challenge higher realms.
It was a huge temptation. Leon Li was even more ambitious—he'd had sinister intentions from the start.
Evan Yang had already guessed their intentions. No matter who it was, people were interested in him—some even wanted to capture him for research, especially those with darker motives.
"Hey, you know it's dangerous outside—why are you going out?" Hannah Nangong asked, curious.
"The Li Family needs to be dealt with eventually. Consider it a gift to the Chu Family. Once that's done, I'll leave," Evan Yang said.
"Dealt with? Do you really have that ability? They're all at least Emperor Realm," Hannah Nangong said, doubting him.
"Emperor Realm, huh? They're indeed formidable, but if I don't provoke them, they'll come after me anyway. So I might as well take the initiative," Evan Yang smiled.
"Yeah, and I plan to cripple them!" Evan Yang said.
"Isn't that a bit much? If you do that, you'll really be at odds with the Li Family." Hannah Nangong said, worried.
"So be it. Flowcloud Star is huge—I doubt they can find me everywhere. But I want to teach the Li Family a lesson before I leave, so Chase Chu won't suffer later. They know he's with me and has learned a lot." Evan Yang said.
Hannah Nangong knew Evan Yang was worried about Chase Chu, and finally understood why he didn't take disciples easily. If every disciple required this much effort, finding candidates would be tough.
Evan Yang really thought this way. He took Chase Chu as a disciple because of his sincerity, patience, and aptitude—otherwise, he wouldn't have done it.
Chase Chu had no idea Evan Yang was paving the way for him; he was still cultivating at home.
"Where should I go next?" Hannah Nangong asked, curious.
"You should return to the Chu Family now. Things are more complicated than I expected. If you stay, they might use you to threaten me." Evan Yang said after thinking for a moment.
Hannah Nangong knew she shouldn't hesitate, so she nodded and left under everyone's gaze.
"Your companion left? What, going to get reinforcements?" Leon Li seemed to want to stop Hannah Nangong.
"No, I'm worried you might threaten me with her during the fight." Evan Yang smiled.
"You're clever, but you overestimate yourself. Two peak ninth-tier Xuan-Immortals will deal with you. Let's see if you're still so confident." Leon Li said, then thought to himself, "Once we defeat you, I'll cripple your cultivation."
Evan Yang didn't know exactly what Leon Li was planning, but he knew he wouldn't play fair. So he kept his senses locked on him, ready for anything.
As Evan Yang was thinking of countermeasures, two people arrived from the sky. They were brothers, looking almost identical, both at the ninth tier of Xuan-Immortal.
Evan Yang scanned them and felt relieved—they were only early ninth-tier Xuan-Immortals, not as strong as Meng He had been. If both were that strong, it would be tough.
"You're finally here," Leon Li said with a smile.
"We came as soon as we got your message, big brother. What do you need?" one of them asked.
"I've got a task for you two—work together to deal with him. If you win, you'll be rewarded," Leon Li said, smiling.
"So?" Evan Yang smiled as he saw Leon Li thinking.
Leon Li hadn't expected to be threatened by a Heavenly-Immortal today. He was unwilling, but if he made a move, Evan Yang would retaliate, and that would be trouble.
"Alright, tell me—how do we compete? If it's not fair, I won't agree." Leon Li snorted.
"You want to see how I defeat a peak ninth-tier Xuan-Immortal with Heavenly-Immortal eighth-tier strength? Then send one. If I win, we leave. If I lose, I'll tell you my secrets," Evan Yang said straightforwardly.
Leon Li, who'd heard about Evan Yang's feats, hesitated. "That's unfair to me. How about two peak ninth-tier Xuan-Immortals?"
"Didn't expect the Li Family to be so cowardly." Evan Yang sneered when he heard the demand for two.
"Fine, either fight or I'll destroy you now. I don't need your secrets." Leon Li gritted his teeth. He'd heard the rumors about Evan Yang and didn't want to lose.
Seeing Leon Li insist, Evan Yang smiled, "Alright, who are you sending?"
"Wait a moment—they'll be here soon," Leon Li sneered.
"Looks like you were prepared?" Evan Yang smiled after hearing Leon Li's words.
"Of course—how else could I deal with you?" Leon Li's eyes narrowed like a hungry wolf as he stared at Evan Yang.
"Alright, let's wait for them." Evan Yang smiled, and the two sides faced off. Hannah Nangong asked, "You're really going to fight two at once?"
"Yeah, and I plan to cripple them!" Evan Yang said.
"Isn't that a bit much? If you do that, you'll really be at odds with the Li Family." Hannah Nangong said, worried.
"So be it. Flowcloud Star is huge—I doubt they can find me everywhere. But I want to teach the Li Family a lesson before I leave, so Chase Chu won't suffer later. They know he's with me and has learned a lot." Evan Yang said.
