Emperor Qiankun

Chapter 387 Let's discuss this later?

at this time.

Standing in the crowd, Granny Lan heard her mistress's voice and felt a pang of inner turmoil.

She dared not disobey her mistress's orders, but the thought of helping Li Qingyuan, who had a blood feud with the Yu family, was daunting.

Her brows furrowed tightly, and her eyes were full of reluctance.

Moreover, at this moment she felt a splitting headache. The matter here had caused such a great uproar, like a whirlwind, that it would surely spread back to the clan very quickly.

How will she explain this to the older members of her clan?

This was a real hot potato, leaving her in a dilemma.

However, faced with Su Yaoyue's urgent and firm urging, Granny Lan knew that she could not delay any longer.

Left with no other choice, she could only sigh heavily and slowly walk out of the crowd.

Her slightly hunched figure appeared rather frail in the crowd. Her voice, hoarse and tinged with weariness and helplessness, spoke:

“Master Yu, that young man is one of my juniors.”

"Please, for my sake, let this matter drop."

"I certainly won't treat you unfairly; I will provide you with a generous amount of resources as compensation..."

Although the sound was not loud, it was clearly heard by everyone in the noisy setting.

------

"The Heavenly Emperor Realm?!"

The moment Yu Jun's gaze fell upon Granny Lan, an invisible yet powerful pressure swept over him.

He instantly sensed the unfathomable depth of the other party's cultivation level.

This sudden discovery made him slightly uneasy, and his expression changed drastically.

He stared at Li Qingyuan, his eyes filled with surprise, doubt, and apprehension, and thought to himself:

"This kid's background is so powerful, he actually has a powerful expert at the Emperor Realm backing him up?!"

However, Yu Yun, being the head of the clan, quickly regained his composure.

He thought that the Yu family was, after all, a renowned and prestigious family in Menggui City.

The clan not only has a Supreme Elder of the Emperor Realm in charge, but also an ancestor who is rarely seen and whose cultivation has reached the late stage of the Emperor Realm.

With such a profound foundation as support, the panic in his heart immediately dissipated somewhat.

So, suppressing his inner turmoil, he coldly spoke:

“Senior, if it were any other matter, I would certainly give you face and discuss it properly.”

"But this boy killed my own son. This is an irreconcilable hatred, a thorn in my side, a fight to the death!"

"Today, I will make this bastard pay for his crimes in blood!"

Yu Jun's attitude was firm and her tone was tough, leaving no room for compromise. She was clearly determined to make Li Qingyuan pay a heavy price!

Upon hearing this, Granny Lan's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

As a powerful expert in the Heavenly Realm, she was a well-known figure in the cultivation world, and was respected wherever she went.

But now, he was being verbally slapped and shown no respect whatsoever by a mere cultivator at the King Realm...

This ignited a fire of anger within her.

She felt that her dignity had been greatly challenged. If she didn't teach Yu Yun a lesson, how could she maintain her standing in the cultivation world in the future?

......

Seeing that Yu Yun was adamant and had no intention of giving up, Granny Lan was too lazy to argue with him any further.

Her aura surged rapidly, and a powerful pressure spread outwards from her, making it difficult for those around her to breathe.

At the same time, a flash of light appeared in her hand, revealing a scepter exuding a mysterious aura.

The scepter was covered with ancient runes, shimmering with an eerie light, as if it contained boundless power.

Granny Lan held her scepter, her eyes cold, and made as if she was about to strike and teach Yu Jun a harsh lesson!

Upon seeing this, Yu Yun immediately felt alarmed.

He knew that once a powerful expert like Granny Lan made a move, he would be no match for her.

Just to be on the safe side, he didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, and secretly reached into his pocket to take out a communication jade talisman and held it in his hand.

The jade talisman emitted a faint light, as if it contained some kind of mysterious power.

Yu Yun gripped the jade talisman tightly, a resolute glint in her eyes, preparing to crush it at the crucial moment and call for help from the clan's experts!

......

But just when things were at a critical juncture and the atmosphere was tense!

A deep, steady voice, like the resounding toll of a great bell, suddenly echoed from the sky.

The voice carried an undeniable authority, reverberating through the air:

"Enough! This is Dream City, the place where my Mandarin Duck Tower took root, grew, and became famous. How can we allow others to act recklessly and disturb our peace here!"

"I already know the cause and effect of this matter, but now is not the right time to resolve personal grievances. We can discuss it at a more suitable time in the future."

"At this moment, the winner of the Lantern King has emerged out of nowhere. This is a grand event that my Dream City has not seen for many years. It is a moment for the whole city to celebrate and rejoice together."

"On behalf of the Mandarin Duck Tower, I have prepared a grand banquet to entertain all the cultivators in the city. Everyone, please drink to your heart's content and don't leave until you're completely drunk. Be sure to eat and drink well and share this rare joy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the oppressive force that had been looming over everyone, making it hard to breathe, gradually dissipated like the receding tide, allowing everyone's tense nerves to finally relax.

......

When Yu Yun first heard the voice, her heart skipped a beat, and she instantly recognized that it was Jing Yichun, the second elder of Yuanyang Tower, speaking.

He had been full of expectations, thinking that Jing Yichun, as a local strongman in Menggui City and belonging to the same faction as the Yu family, would help him, a "local," and get justice for him.

To everyone's surprise, Jing Yichun dismissed the matter so lightly and perfunctorily, saying "we'll discuss it later," and it vanished without a trace like a gust of wind.

He cursed in his heart:

"In the future? Who knows where everyone will be in the future? That's utter nonsense!"

"Is a winner of the King of Lights really that precious and important?"

"They have completely disregarded the dignity of my Yu family, a prestigious clan. This is utterly outrageous!"

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became; the anger in his chest was like a volcano about to erupt.

But faced with Jing Yichun's intimidation and the power of Yuanyang Tower, he dared not cause any more trouble. He could only grit his teeth and glare at Li Qingyuan with resentment.

His eyes were filled with resentment and unwillingness, as if he wanted to devour Li Qingyuan alive.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he led the Yu family away angrily, but his back view appeared extremely lonely and angry.

......

Li Qingyuan, unfazed by Yu Yun's resentful gaze, returned it with a cold stare.

Seeing this, Su Yaoyue, who was standing beside him, felt a slight tightening in her heart. Her gentle voice rang in Li Qingyuan's ear, tinged with worry:

"This matter is probably not over yet. The Yu family has always been vengeful. Having suffered such a great loss this time, they will definitely seek revenge."

"Junior Uncle, you must be careful."

Li Qingyuan nodded slightly and hummed in agreement, but looked up at the moonship in the sky above with a hint of doubt.

His thoughts were in turmoil, like a tangled mess:

Why did Jing Yichun suddenly stand up for me?

"Could it be because I obtained the Nine-Turn Glazed Palace Lamp, and his status as the Lamp King's owner makes him wary?"

"Or is there something else going on, some secret that no one knows about?"

"Or perhaps, someone secretly contacted Jing Yichun, asking him to lend a hand?"

"..."

A series of questions kept surfacing in his mind, leaving him completely baffled.

------

At this moment, inside that extremely luxurious moonship, which was like a castle in the air.

Jing Yichun sat upright in the main seat, his posture as sturdy as a pine tree, exuding an extraordinary air.

He closed his eyes slightly, a contented smile on his face, enjoying the 'wonderful' view behind him.

Qi Yuji stood obediently behind Jing Yichun, like a nimble little sparrow.

Her hands gently and skillfully massaged his shoulders, the pressure just right, each massage precisely hitting Jing Yichun's acupoints, making all his fatigue disappear.

As Qi Yuji massaged her, she said in a sweet, coquettish voice:

"Thank you, Grandpa Jing! Grandpa Jing is the best! In Yuji's heart, Grandpa Jing is the most powerful and kindest hero in the world!"

The voice was like a gentle breeze in spring, lightly brushing against Jing Yichun's heart, making him burst into laughter.
