Chapter 694: Chapter 694: This Matter, Absolutely Can’t End Like This

In the valley, it was deathly silent.

All the members of the Bear Clan stared, dumbfounded, at the scene unfolding before them, utterly engulfed by shock.

The Bear Ancestor of the Bear Tribe. He was regarded as one of the Nine Great Demon Ancestors of the Nine Li Demon Clan, a powerhouse of the Eternal Realm.

Now, the old man lay sprawled on the ground, having landed face-first in the dirt, looking utterly undignified.

Was this... the once highly revered Bear Ancestor?

”How is this possible?”

Off to the side, the gray-robed young man wiped a trail of blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes bulging in shock and fright as he spoke.

What kind of evil technique did that white-robed youth use to make the Bear Ancestor plummet from the sky as if by an unseen force?

It was truly bizarre.

Could it be... the white-robed youth’s cultivation base was far greater than the Bear Ancestor’s?

At this thought, the color drained from the gray-robed young man’s face. His body felt as if it had plunged into an ice cellar. An extreme chill and despair washed over him.

”This... this...” Beside the Big Black Cat, the yellow-robed young man stood frozen like a clay figurine, his stunned gaze fixed on the Bear Ancestor sprawled on the ground, his throat too tight to utter a word.

This Senior was truly too terrifying!

Previously, when they faced Lord War Sect of the Eight God Sect, the Sect Lord, acknowledging his own inferiority, had simply stood there numbly and let them pass with ease.

At the time, he had thought it was simply a fortunate coincidence.

Little did he expect that this Senior’s cultivation base was unfathomably deep.

Now, the Bear Ancestor, with a cultivation base at the First Level of the Eternal Realm, couldn’t even hold out for one round against him.

This implied that the Senior’s cultivation base had to be at least three to four minor realms higher than the Eternal Realm to achieve this with such casual ease.

PFFT! PFFT!

The Bear Ancestor flipped over, forcefully spat out a few mouthfuls of dirt, and scrambled to his feet.

”Who... exactly are you?”

The Bear Ancestor licked his lips, his eyes filled with terror as he stared at Ye Yun, his legs trembling uncontrollably.

This man was definitely beyond his ability to defeat.

”I’m just a wild cultivator from the wilderness...” Ye Yun said nonchalantly.

He had controlled his power just now so as not to kill the Bear Ancestor. To Ye Yun, killing a small fry of the Eternal Realm would only sour his mood.

”Jin San, you’ve really outdone yourself this time...”

A thought flashed through the Bear Ancestor’s mind. He turned to glare at the yellow-robed young man, his whole body shaking with fury, and shouted, ”You actually brought in outside help! Are you planning on betraying your master and ancestors?”

”Bear Ancestor, I am, after all, a member of the Bear Tribe. How could I entertain such a thought?” The yellow-robed young man’s face turned beet red as he hastily defended himself.

Though the Bear Ancestor held a deep prejudice against his Golden Bear Clan, and the gray-robed young man had his father injured, he truly harbored no intention of betraying his master and ancestors.

Within the Nine Li Demon Clan, each of the Nine Great Demon Ancestors possessed overwhelming combat power, like nine sky-reaching stone pillars supporting the entire clan.

Every member of the Demon Clan held the Nine Great Demon Ancestors in awe, daring not to harbor the slightest thought of betrayal.

The yellow-robed young man was no exception. His resentment was naturally aimed only at the gray-robed young man. Toward the Bear Ancestor, he dared not, and could not, harbor any hatred.

”It’s good that you haven’t!” The Bear Ancestor sneered, though he inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was truly terrified of Ye Yun. Thus, his questioning Jin San first was also an attempt to secure a guarantee for his own life. After all, Jin San had brought this white-robed youth here.

Ye Yun, observing from the side, discerned some of this and understood Jin San’s thoughts. He then said calmly, ”Bear Ancestor, your subordinate clansmen injured Jin San’s father. How do you intend to settle this account?”

”I’ll have someone send healing elixirs and ensure Jin Shan’s father is cured as soon as possible!” The Bear Ancestor stated, his face taut.

Although he couldn’t defeat his opponent, he still strove to maintain the dignity of a great Demon Ancestor.

”Such a serious injury, how can it be settled so lightly? In my opinion, how about this: we also severely injure that fellow, and from then on, both sides will be even...” Ye Yun suggested.

Upon hearing this, the yellow-robed young man paused for a moment, then looked at Ye Yun, gratitude welling up in his eyes.

”Sir, I know you are very powerful, but this is the territory of the Nine Li Demon Clan. We Nine Great Demon Ancestors are bound together. If you push your luck, it will not end well for you! Ultimately, you will be the one to suffer!” The Bear Ancestor said through clenched teeth, his voice harsh.

”Spare me the useless talk. I ask you only this—will you hand over the person or not?” Ye Yun’s eyebrow twitched, his tone laced with a chilling killing intent.

”I...” The Bear Ancestor hesitated. Suddenly, his legs felt weak, as if that indescribable, terrifying killing intent had already stripped him of the will to fight again.

”I agree! He’s yours!” The Bear Ancestor said hastily. He then reached out, grabbed the gray-robed young man, and threw him toward the yellow-robed young man.

After doing all this, the Bear Ancestor didn’t dare to linger. He turned and vanished into thin air.

The onlookers in the surrounding valley were once again so astonished their jaws nearly dropped.

Although the Bear Ancestor’s cultivation base wasn’t the strongest among the Nine Great Demon Ancestors, he had always been extremely domineering, arrogant, and unruly, never submitting to anyone. This time, however, he had clearly met his match.

In front of this white-robed Senior, the Bear Ancestor dared not make the slightest presumptuous move, cowering like a timid bear.

Phew...

Many members of the Golden Bear Clan let out a collective sigh of relief at this moment, an indescribable feeling of vindication welling up in their hearts.

”Damn it, you little bastard, you’re rotten to the core!” The Big Black Cat roared and charged, savagely kicking the gray-robed young man twice.

THUD! THUD!

The young man shrieked as he was kicked, vomiting mouthfuls of blood.

”Brother Bear! Give him a proper thrashing!” After retracting his claws, the Big Black Cat turned to the yellow-robed young man and said with a smile.

After all, the one with the true grudge against this gray-robed young man was his Golden Bear brother here.

”Thank you, Senior!”

”Thank you, Cat Brother!”

The yellow-robed young man quickly expressed his thanks twice, then strode forward, raised his fists—as large as wine jars—and brought them crashing down.

”AAAAHHH...” A series of miserable screams abruptly echoed through the valley.

Even some birds in the distant forest were startled into flight, disappearing among the trees.

The gray-robed young man screamed for a while before finally falling unconscious. He now lay on the ground, covered in blood, his eyes tightly shut, devoid of his former arrogance.

”You few, take him back!” The yellow-robed young man pointed to the distant members of the Gray Bear Clan and said coldly, his tone dismissive.

Those few individuals, their faces pale with fright, scrambled over, lifted the gray-robed young man, and hastily departed.

Revenge had been served. The yellow-robed young man let out a long breath, feeling vindicated, his expression visibly relaxing.

”Thank you, Senior, for making this possible!” He walked over to Ye Yun, dropped to his knees with a THUMP, and said with glistening eyes full of gratitude.

”It was merely a trivial matter.” Ye Yun smiled dismissively, then, with his hands clasped behind his back, walked straight towards the stone house.

The yellow-robed young man quickly followed.

The Big Black Cat and Mu Qing exchanged a look and a knowing smile; they both guessed what the Old Master intended to do next. The yellow-robed young man’s father was severely injured and unconscious; only the Old Master could heal him instantly. For the Old Master, such a small matter was beneath mention.

...

Having suffered a significant loss on Golden Bear territory, the Bear Ancestor, seething with anger, rushed straight to a cave-dwelling on Nine Li Divine Mountain.

This matter absolutely can’t be settled just like this! The Bear Ancestor fumed.

In just a few breaths, he flew into an ancient cave-dwelling.

”Haha, Bear Ancestor, what favorable wind blew you here?” From deep within the cave-dwelling, a man’s hearty laughter echoed.

The Bear Ancestor landed, clasped his fists in salute, and forced a smile onto his stiff face. ”Greetings, Tiger Ancestor!”

Opposite him sat two burly men.

One of them, with thick eyebrows and fierce eyes, was bare-chested, revealing a set of imposing muscles. A golden tiger skin skirt was wrapped around his waist, and he sat imposingly.

GULP! GULP!

He raised a bowl of wine and drained it in one go.

This was the Tiger Ancestor, one of the top-ranking powerhouses among the Nine Great Demon Ancestors.

Opposite the Tiger Ancestor sat another robust man in a green robe. The two were jovially exchanging toasts and drinking merrily.
