Clearly, no matter who it is, facing such a situation of being continuously slapped in the face would be extremely embarrassing.
At this moment, some people in the Jade Fox Palace already felt too ashamed to show their faces. Facing Jade Ling’er’s triumphant gaze, they were so embarrassed they wished they could bury themselves underground.
Unfortunately, since it was their own home ground, even if they wanted to flee from embarrassment, they couldn’t bring themselves to do so.
“Cough...” At this point, a disciple of the Jade Fox Palace with a turtle shell spoke up, “As cultivators, we should acknowledge our faults and correct them. Whoever called Ye Xuan cowardly and stupid, please step forward.”
Hearing this, everyone in the Jade Fox Palace looked at him with disdain. He was the one who had been the most enthusiastic in his accusations just now. Now that things have turned, he’s playing the turtle, isn’t he?!!
“I admit, I misunderstood Ye Xuan.” At this time, a fox spirit girl stood up and said, “I owe him an apology... But let me make it clear, I am only talking about Ye Xuan in this scene, and I am criticizing the act, not the person... I’m not admitting that he must be a good person—!!!”
“Right.” Another dog-eared girl also said, “I was wrong about him just now. He indeed is courageous and clever. I was foolish, but my comments were only about this incident. I haven’t said whether Ye Xuan is good or bad.”
At this moment, everyone in the Jade Fox Palace felt too embarrassed after being so severely slapped in the face.
They acknowledged their faults but also had some thick-skinned people who pretended as if they never said those things... Like the turtle from before.
Moreover, they now dared not speak easily again, fearing another slap in the face. If they were slapped again, they really didn’t know how they could continue standing there.
“Ha ha, dear nephew, do you really think you can escape?!”
Ye Xuan was fleeing with all his might, but the next moment, a figure appeared in front of him like a fleeting shadow.
He smiled at Ye Xuan and said, “I was really careless just now to be tracked by you. It seems you saw and heard everything, right? Ah, there’s nothing I can do, dear uncle here can only let you die with your master...”
“You know, I really wanted you to be my son-in-law... If you kneel and call me father-in-law now, I will let you go, and still marry my daughter to you, how about it~?”
“Really?!” Hearing this, Ye Xuan’s eyes lit up. He seemed quite tempted...
If people in the Jade Fox Palace had seen Ye Xuan behave like this before, they probably would have ridiculed him again. But now, no one dared to speak.
Who knows what Ye Xuan is thinking now...
They never imagined that matters among these mortals could be so twisted, confusing even the cultivators.
“Eh? Master, how come you are here—!!!” Just then, Ye Xuan suddenly looked behind Hu Wanquan and excitedly spoke.
“Hehe.” Hearing this, Hu Wanquan chuckled and shook his head: “Ye Xuan, do you really think you can fool me with such tricks? It seems you don’t want my goodwill. Well, then prepare to die—!” As he spoke, he leaped towards Ye Xuan to attack.
But at that moment, a sense of crisis came from behind Hu Wanquan. His expression changed drastically, and he instantly shifted in mid-air...
His movements, had they been witnessed by the martial artists, would have surely elicited praise. Even many cultivators present admired such skill. Fortunately,
Hu Wanquan sensed the crisis in time and avoided the sword that was thrust at him from behind. He landed and looked in the direction.
There stood Yu Tieshan, coldly looking at him, with an energy blade in his hand. Condensing Qi into a sword, Yu Tieshan’s cultivation level was clearly not inferior to some low-level cultivators.
“Yu Tieshan? How did you get free?!!” Hu Wanquan looked at Yu Tieshan, unfazed.
In his eyes, Ye Xuan and Yu Tieshan together were still not worth his serious attention. He was just curious how Yu Tieshan regained his mobility...
Could there be another person besides Ye Xuan here? His gaze swept around subtly.
“Hehe, you underestimate my disciple.” Yu Tieshan said: “He had already executed a distant acupoint unlocking technique when he lured you away. Once you left, I was freed by that technique... Well done, Ye Xuan—!” Praising Ye Xuan, he confidently smiled and said.
“Master, let’s together take down this villain—!”
“Ha ha ha, come on, both of you—!” Hu Wanquan confidently laughed: “Let me show you the power of the Banished Immortal Sword Technique...”
His sword gleamed, reflecting the moonlight, filling the sky with brilliance. Such a magnificent sword technique was truly a rare sight in the world.
“Is this... the Banished Immortal Sword Technique?”
“True to its name... Although Hu Wanquan is merely a mortal, the power of this sword might be too much for most cultivators—!!!”
The Jade Fox Palace was astounded by the scene.
“It seems even if Ye Xuan saved his master, it would be futile...”
“No wonder only Ye Xuan appeared the next day...”
“It looks like he must have pleaded for mercy at the crucial moment?!!” Someone whispered, but immediately saw Ye Xuan smiling at him. That look seemed to say ‘doesn’t your face hurt?’.
He felt awkward—!!!
He had inadvertently spoken his mind again. But Hu Wanquan’s move was too exaggerated, even a mountain could be split in half. How could a mortal counter such a sword technique?!!
So, he thought this time he wouldn’t be slapped in the face.
