The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2617 - 2606: Choice

After nibbling for a while, the Skyhawk.

His entire head returned to Ye Chenfeng’s side, floating next to Ye Chenfeng’s right shoulder: "Master."

Ye Chenfeng didn’t have much fondness for this old thing, Skyhawk. He just slightly nodded, looking at the wretched figure of the Tianyan Elder on the ground: "It’s what he wanted; I didn’t force him."

The rest of the Sect’s ancestors present all inhaled sharply; many of them knew the combat power of the Tianyan Elder, and yet he died just like that? Without even a scream?

These ancestors from various Sects all stared grimly at the head floating next to Ye Chenfeng’s shoulder. Having Shen Xiutian on Ye Chenfeng’s side was already troublesome enough, and now there was such a bizarre head?

"Cough cough! Cough cough!——"

Amidst the silence, a coughing sound suddenly rang out. A hunched old man walked out from a corner. This old man appeared very, very old, with every inch of his skin covered in wrinkles.

Every step this old man took seemed ordinary, but his steps contained a rhythm, and he was immersed in some kind of Profound Meaning. A hoarse voice sounded: "Coming down from Qian Nan Mountain this time, I can’t leave without gaining something. If I let the Hes of the Upper World owe me a favor, perhaps I can live a little longer."

The old man’s cloudy eyes looked at Ye Chenfeng: "Boy, allow me to capture you and deliver you to the Hes; you wouldn’t mind, right? This way, you could help me accomplish something."

Upon hearing Qian Nan Mountain.

The faces of those Sect ancestors changed slightly. Tens of thousands of years ago, Qian Nan Mountain was quite famous in the Middle Realm, only because its master was an extraordinarily powerful warrior, known merely as the Old Demon of Nanshan by others, as none knew his real name.

This old man claimed to have come down from Qian Nan Mountain, which means he’s the Old Demon of Nanshan?

The Old Demon of Nanshan hadn’t appeared for ten thousand years, always staying on Qian Nan Mountain, which is a forbidden zone in the Middle Realm. Anyone who intruded upon Qian Nan Mountain never came out in the end.

Yet, the changes in the Old Demon of Nanshan were so great that the ancestors present didn’t recognize him. Now, he truly deserves the title of an Old Demon, being incredibly old. How did he become so old?

The aura from the Old Demon of Nanshan slowly emanated, and it was incredibly formidable, definitely at the late stage of the Divine Emperor Realm. It even seemed thicker than Shen Xiutian’s aura, suggesting he reached the late stage of the Divine Emperor Realm earlier than Shen Xiutian did.

Feeling the aura of the Old Demon of Nanshan, the ancestors of the various Sects in attendance looked uncertain and apprehensive. They never expected the long-hidden Old Demon of Nanshan to have also reached the late stage of the Divine Emperor Realm.

Shen Xiutian stood close to Ye Chenfeng, explaining the identity of the Old Demon of Nanshan to him.

Ye Chenfeng’s expression remained unchanged from start to finish.

"Boy, even at this moment, you can keep your composure. To be honest, I quite admire you."

"What a pity! I need to survive, and the Hes can help me do that, so you must sacrifice yourself for me."

The temperament of the Old Demon of Nanshan was strange, so what he said was equally strange.

The ancestors of Divine Spirit Valley and Xuankong Gate, Pang Qingyuan and Yan Haishan, saw Fang Duo’er and Song Lanruo standing beside Ye Chenfeng, and their brows furrowed deeply. They didn’t want their sects’ talented disciples entangled with Ye Chenfeng, as that might drag their Sects into trouble.

Pang Qingyuan shouted at Fang Duo’er, "Duo’er, why are you standing there dumbly? Hurry and come over here."

Yan Haishan also rebuked Song Lanruo, "Lan Ruo, why are you standing with someone wanted by the Hes?"

Now, with the Old Demon of Nanshan intervening, and his cultivation being at the late stage of the Divine Emperor Realm, even more formidable than Shen Xiutian’s aura.

Pang Qingyuan and Yan Haishan stopped worrying.

Standing beside Ye Chenfeng, Fang Duo’er and Song Lanruo, upon hearing their ancestors’ words, looked a bit grim. How could they be ingrates?

Ye Chenfeng said to Fang Duo’er and Song Lanruo, "Return to where you should go!"

Fang Duo’er stubbornly shook her head, while Song Lanruo pursed her lips tightly.

The Old Demon of Nanshan watched this scene with interest, not rushing to act, seeming to see Ye Chenfeng as already in his grasp.

Moments later.

Fang Duo’er said to Pang Qingyuan, "Old Ancestor, Brother Ye has been good to me, and you often said one must know gratitude and repaying kindness."

Song Lanruo said to Yan Haishan, "Old Ancestor, I can’t do something so traitorous."

Hearing Fang Duo’er and Song Lanruo’s words, Pang Qingyuan and Yan Haishan were furious, understanding the choice Fang Duo’er and Song Lanruo made. If they chose this way, their Sects might suffer.

Though Fang Duo’er and Song Lanruo were their most valued disciples, for the future and safety of the entire Sect, they naturally valued the Sect more. In their eyes, it was a pity if Fang Duo’er and Song Lanruo died, but another talented disciple could be nurtured. If the Sect fell, then everything was lost.

"Fang Duo’er, are you sure about this choice? I’m giving you one last chance," Pang Qingyuan roared.

As for Song Lanruo, she didn’t wait for Yan Haishan to question and said, "Old Ancestor, from this moment on, I withdraw from Xuankong Gate. I am no longer a disciple of Xuankong Gate and will not implicate you."

Fang Duo’er glanced at Song Lanruo and said softly, "Sister Lan Ruo, you just told me not to overthink things, to stay obediently in the Middle Realm. Why are you—?"

Song Lanruo laughed, "Perhaps I’m also eager to witness the rise of a true powerhouse."

Fang Duo’er then said to Pang Qingyuan, "Old Ancestor, I withdraw from Divine Spirit Valley. What I do has no connection to Divine Spirit Valley henceforth."

Song Lanruo and Fang Duo’er made their choices.

Seeing this, Ye Chenfeng couldn’t help but smile bitterly; now he had no choice but to take these two women with him.

The eyes of Pang Qingyuan and Yan Haishan were filled with malice, furious at the choices of these two talented disciples.

"Fang Duo’er, since you make this choice, from this moment, you’re an enemy of Divine Spirit Valley. Considering you were once our disciple, I’ll only strip you of your cultivation," Pang Qingyuan shouted.

Yan Haishan also shouted, "Song Lanruo, the same goes for you. Lose your cultivation, and you can live."
