A great emperor master every day—the good-for-nothing young master is having a blast!

He had his head down, looking anxious, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

"You!" Junior Brother Liu glared angrily and took two steps forward.

Chen Yue smiled and said, "What, you want to avenge your senior brother?"

Jiao Yan struggled to raise his hand and grabbed Liu's robe.

In an extremely weak voice, he said, "No...don't..."

"Don't get agitated. You can't beat him. Don't do anything pointless."

Liu, still furious, retorted loudly, "What kind of skill is it to know a few tricks? If you've got the guts, let's have a real man's duel, and I'll beat you to your knees and cry!"

Chen Yue couldn't help but shudder and looked at Jiao Yan with an embarrassed expression.

"Has he always been like this?"

Jiao Yan said helplessly, "I guess so."

Then, seeing Liu's legs trembling uncontrollably, he sighed, "Junior Brother Liu, come back quickly, unless you don't want to live anymore."

"Yes, Senior Brother!" Junior Brother Liu quickly took two steps back and stood next to Jiao Yan, feeling a sense of relief.

His earlier display of enthusiasm was just an act. Even Senior Brother Jiao and Senior Brother Zhao were no match for him, so what was he? A joke, really?

Pretending makes him seem brave.

So when Jiao Yan advised him, he immediately backed down and listened to her advice very well.

Chen Yue and Jiao Yan looked at each other, pondered for a moment, and then asked:

"I'm giving you two choices: either get out of Jiangcheng right now, or stay here forever."

"You're not stupid, I hope you can choose the correct answer."

"If you make the wrong choice, you will stay here forever."

Jiao Yan's heart sank; he couldn't understand what nonsense Chen Yue was spouting.

If it were me, I would never let the enemy go back.

The two options seem simple, but choosing either one is actually wrong.

He left Jiangcheng the first time, but now that he's in this state, he's provoked Chen Yue. Can he really leave now? Staying here forever is probably his only future.

He could only wait until the day his master would personally come to Jiangcheng and take him away from this sea of ​​suffering.

The second option is obvious: stay here forever, never to see the light of day.

This one seems more likely to be true.

Jiao Yan's current predicament is entirely his own fault, as he listened to a few slanderous words from Feng Lingxi.

In a moment of impulsiveness, he grabbed his junior brothers Zhao and Liu and headed to Jiangcheng.

I thought that a young master from a small town would only be at the Enlightenment Realm at most, and reaching the early stage of Condensation Source would be the highest he could achieve.

But no one told him that this young master was so strong it was like he was cheating.

With a cultivation level of the third level of the Spirit Mansion realm, he was already considered an outstanding figure among the younger generation of the Yunxuan Sect, yet he couldn't withstand even a single blow.

The Xuanbing Red Tassel Spear had barely been drawn when it met its glorious end.

Jiao Yan regretted his actions. If he had known earlier that the young master of the Chen family was so strong, he should have slapped Feng Lingxi across the face twice.

After all, face isn't important, life is.

Moreover, he cultivated like crazy every day, and at a young age, he reached the third level of the Spirit Mansion Realm.

Such achievements are few and far between in Jiao Yan's knowledge.

Chen Yue saw Jiao Yan leaning there blankly, not responding for a long time.

He urged again, "Senior Brother Jiao, which one do you want to choose?"

Jiao Yan snapped back to reality upon hearing the question again.

Which one should I choose...?

After thinking for a moment, I chose a seemingly hopeful answer.

"If I had to choose one, I'd pick the first one: get out of Jiangcheng."

Even Jiao Yan himself felt it was unrealistic when he said those words.

Let the three of them leave Jiangcheng and return to Yunxuan Sect.

If they go back to get reinforcements, there's a very high chance they'll come back and raze Jiangcheng to the ground.

These are clearly two dead ends, yet Chen Yue insists that you choose one.

Jiao Yan couldn't help but wonder if Chen Yue liked listening to nonsense.

Given his current injuries, resistance is simply impossible.

He's still trapped in this strange place, and he hasn't found a way to escape.

Just when Jiao Yan was completely in despair, Chen Yue said something that was completely unexpected.

"If you're willing to leave, then leave."

"Brother Liu, immediately take your two senior brothers and leave Jiangcheng, disappear from my sight as soon as possible."

Jiao Yan was extremely puzzled and could not believe what he was hearing.

Chen Yue didn't actually intend to trap them; was he really going to let them go?

"Is what you said... true?" Jiao Yan asked tentatively.

Chen Yue was taken aback. "Do you think I'm lying? Then you don't have to leave. Let Brother Zhao and Brother Liu go. You can stay here forever."

"No, no, no!" Jiao Yan waved his injured hands quickly and smiled, "Since Young Master Chen Yue has given us this opportunity, the three of us will get out of here right away."

"From this moment forward, the three of us will never set foot in Jiangcheng again!"

Jiao Yan's attitude underwent a dramatic reversal; everything he did was a desperate act to survive.

However, what he couldn't understand was, why would Chen Yue dare to let them go back like that? Wasn't he afraid of retaliation?

Their Yunxuan Sect has a true King Realm expert in charge.

In a small place like Jiangcheng, it's almost as if a moment has passed.

In Chen Yue's view, there was no irreconcilable hatred between him and Jiao Yan and the other two, so there was absolutely no need to kill them all.

He's not a bloodthirsty person; a little lesson is enough.

Even if they are sent back to Yunxuan Sect, it's fine if they behave themselves; even if they don't, they can find someone to come to Jiangcheng again.

The only help they could call was the old man, Weng, who had been provoked by Chen Yue.

They tried again, and the result was the same.

Even with all his might, Old Man Weng couldn't budge a single finger of Emperor Qingxuan.

As for the King Realm experts within the sect, why would they make a special trip to Jiangcheng just because of the marriage of the youngest female disciple under the Third Elder?

On the other hand, Jiao Yan didn't understand the situation and couldn't figure it out.

But now his life was in danger, and he couldn't think about anything else. Saving his life was the most important thing.

"Junior Brother Liu, please help me up! I can still walk!"

Jiao Yan braced himself with both hands on the ground, using all his strength.

It was only with the help of Junior Brother Liu that he was able to stand up with great difficulty.

He took out a pure white medicine bottle and opened the stopper.

A refreshing medicinal fragrance filled the air. Jiao Yan poured it into his mouth and swallowed it immediately.

A feeling of exhilaration washed over me, and my injuries were slowly healing.

He could move freely again, no longer restricted by the serious injury he had just suffered, and he no longer needed someone to help him stand up.

Jiao Yan let out a long breath and bent down to pick up the Xuanbing Red Tassel Spear that had fallen to the ground.

Chen Yue asked, "Your injuries have mostly healed, are you preparing for a counterattack?"

"Brother Jiao, with your cultivation at the third level of the Spirit Mansion realm, if we were to truly clash head-on, I might not be able to defeat you."

"Besides, there are two of you now. If you join forces to take on me alone, your chances of winning are exceptionally high."

Jiao Yan quickly shook his head and denied it, saying, "Young Master Chen Yue is joking. How could I do such a thing?"

“I’m taking my two junior brothers and getting out of Jiangcheng right now, and we’ll never come back.”
