    79: Chapter 79 You Will Die Miserably!

    “No need, there’s no need for this,” Ye Xuan said with a smile.

    Seeing that Ye Xuan held no blame, Azure Dragon finally relaxed and then teased Zhang Xiaoqiang with a laugh, “You stinky boy, get up quickly.

    Mr.

    Ye doesn’t like those who kowtow like bugs.”

    Zhang Xiaoqiang quickly stood up, his face extremely excited, his eyes showing admiration as he looked at Ye Xuan.

    Zhang Xiaoqiang couldn’t help but be excited, having been ridiculed for years within the Earth Group; however, today, under Ye Xuan’s guidance, he finally felt a sense of pride and saw a bright path ahead.

    Azure Dragon instructed Zhang Xiaoqiang to cultivate diligently and not to disappoint Ye Xuan’s kindness.

    This made Zhang Xiaoqiang nod repeatedly and thank Ye Xuan again before heading into the Demonstration Martial Arts Arena amid the jealous gazes of the Earth Group members.

    “Mr.

    Ye, I have a somewhat unpleasant request, and I hope you can grant it,” Azure Dragon said with a hopeful look as they sat down again.

    Without needing Azure Dragon to say it, Ye Xuan knew what was going on; clearly, Azure Dragon saw the transformation in Zhang Xiaoqiang and wanted to ask Ye Xuan to also coach the Earth Group members.

    “There’s no need for personal coaching; I will write a cultivation guide for you.

    I believe they will also make great progress,” Ye Xuan said softly.

    Azure Dragon knew his request was somewhat difficult but was thrilled with the outcome and naturally did not dare insist Ye Xuan personally coach the Earth Group members.

    “Ha ha!”

    “Brother Azure Dragon, I heard that your Earth Group finally has a Guest Elder; could you introduce me?”

    Suddenly,

    A loud laugh approached from afar, and several people emerged from the elevator, led by a middle-aged man with a sinister look and slightly narrowed, inverted-triangle eyes that made him seem unkind at first glance.

    Azure Dragon’s expression turned cold, and he said in a slightly grim tone, “Mr.

    Ye, I forgot to mention, the Wu Jun you killed was his sworn younger brother.

    This man is Bai Lang, the leader of the Xuan Group, with Ice Element Superpower at the A level.”

    Upon hearing Azure Dragon’s introduction, Ye Xuan’s expression remained unchanged, finally understanding why Wu Jun, with only Dark Force cultivation, had been able to dominate Jiangnan City all these years, apparently backed by this man.

    Ye Xuan’s guess was almost spot on—Wu Jun’s foothold in Jiangnan City was largely due to this Xuan Group leader, who received a lot of money from Wu Jun each year.

    Although they seemed sworn brothers, Wu Jun was merely a tool for Bai Lang’s extortion.

    Although a tool, Wu Jun’s death naturally enraged Bai Lang; however, orders from above prevented Bai Lang from openly seeking trouble with Ye Xuan.

    Moreover, Ye Xuan becoming the Guest Elder of the Earth Group made Bai Lang firmly remember him.

    “This must be Mr.

    Ye?”

    Bai Lang, accompanied by his subordinates, approached Ye Xuan, his face bearing a very warm smile, and even reached out his right hand, seemingly intending to shake hands with Ye Xuan.

    Unfortunately, Ye Xuan did not move, simply looking at Bai Lang indifferently.

    This caused Bai Lang to pause, a flicker of murderous intent passing through his eyes before quietly withdrawing his hand, his face showing no sign of embarrassment.

    “Let me introduce myself, Bai Lang, leader of the Xuan Group.

    I’ve long admired Mr.

    Ye’s reputation, and seeing you today, you are just as I expected.”

    A subordinate quickly brought over a chair, and Bai Lang, with disregard, directly sat opposite Ye Xuan, a sinister smile emerging on his face.

    Bang!

    Azure Dragon slammed the table and stood up with a voice cold as ice, “Bai Lang, this is the Earth Group Demonstration Martial Arts Arena; you have no right to be so presumptuous here.”

    “Ha ha!”

    Bai Lang shook his head and laughed loudly, constantly slapping the table, as if he had heard a very funny joke.

    Suddenly!

    The smile faded from Bai Lang’s face, and a sinister look appeared.

    His eyes slowly narrowed into inverted triangles, resembling a venomous snake as he glared at Ye Xuan, “Ye Xuan, I know you have some connections up there, but you should know that the Wu’an Office is not as simple as you think.

    If you want to establish a foothold at the Wu’an Office, did you ask for my permission, Bai Lang?”

    Tap, tap, tap.

    Urgent footsteps came from all directions.

    All the members of the Earth Group gathered behind Azure Dragon and Ye Xuan, their eyes looking towards Bai Lang and the others with an air of tension, as if they were about to draw swords.

    Behind Bai Lang, his followers glared fiercely, their stance as confrontational as that of the Earth Group members, as if they were about to fight at any moment.

    “Bai Lang, it seems you can’t wait to have a go at me even before the martial arts competition has started,” Azure Dragon sneered repeatedly, his clothes billowing without pause, looking at Bai Lang with eyes that emitted a chilly glow.

    “Ts-ts-ts!”

    With no trace of his earlier malevolence, Bai Lang again hung a smile on his face as he looked at Azure Dragon and others, “Lord Azure Dragon, your Martial Arts Cultivation is indeed extraordinary; I dare not start a fight with you.”

    “Pity, though, members of your group are all useless.

    In my view, after the martial arts competition ends, you should probably talk to the higher-ups.

    The Earth Group might as well disband, and Lord Azure Dragon can join my Xuan Group.

    Though you can’t be the leader, being my deputy would surely be more than enough.”

    Mockery, provocation, arrogance — that was the attitude displayed by Bai Lang, which caused Azure Dragon’s expression to turn frosty, and the members of the Earth Group to seethe with anger, almost ready to teach Bai Lang a harsh lesson right there.

    Azure Dragon was not a man skilled in speech, and at this moment, his chest was about to burst with anger.

    As he clenched his hands into fists, they cracked violently, as if he was about to lash out at Bai Lang any moment.

    “Hehe.”

    Seeing the furious expression on Azure Dragon’s face, Bai Lang chuckled darkly twice.

    He knew when to stop; if a fight broke out here, he wouldn’t be able to explain himself to the higher-ups.

    “Earth Group is full of trash, even the Guest Elder is trash.

    Don’t worry, once the martial arts competition starts, my Xuan Group will naturally be lenient.”

    “Ha ha.”

    Bai Lang laughed loudly as he stood up and motioned for the members of the Xuan Group to head towards the elevator.

    Throughout this, Ye Xuan maintained a calm demeanor, showing no sign of what he might be thinking.

    “Mr.

    Ye, with Bai Lang insulting you and our Earth Group like this, why didn’t you strike him?” an Earth Group member furiously asked, wondering if their Guest Elder was truly a coward.

    A slight smile curled at the corners of Ye Xuan’s mouth, his calm voice then emitting from him.

    “Just a dead man, why should I stoop to his level?”

    “Hmm?”

    Already at the elevator, Bai Lang stopped in his tracks upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words, then turned his head to look back at Ye Xuan, and grinned grimly, “I’ve seen many boastful people, but they all became dead people.

    Don’t disappoint me.”

    “You’ll die a miserable death, I assure you,” Ye Xuan said casually, as if mentioning a trivial matter.
