Chapter 160: Big Brother Old Madman
"What do we do? Two Saint Lords have arrived together, killing their way here. There's no way this ends peacefully." Even Qin Yao frowned, yet she still carried a unique charm. The only thing she felt fortunate about was that the Northern Domain Great Power, Azure Dragon King, was here; otherwise, Peacock King would truly be fighting alone.
"Qin Yao, get away from me quickly, or it will be very dangerous," Ye Fan transmitted his voice in a low tone.
"Come with me," Qin Yao urged.
"I probably can't leave today. Even Peacock King can't protect me," Ye Fan said calmly, without fear or panic.
Since the Ji family had declared that even if Yao Guang Saint Lord obtained the Grand Void Art, they would find a way to take it back, then now that they were launching a full-scale attack here, there was no reason they would let him go. He was definitely a primary target for search. Even with the Ji Family Saint Lord appearing in person, Peacock King couldn't guarantee his safety. Taking him away would be equivalent to taking part of the Void Ancient Scripture—a situation of irreconcilable conflict.
"What secret art did you actually steal from the Ji family?" Qin Yao asked.
"Don't ask. If you know too much, the Ji family will hunt you down too. Leave quickly, or it'll be too late!"
Qin Yao grabbed his wrist and said, "Come with me. You don't have to be like this."
Ye Fan shook his head. "You go first. I have my own plans."
Seeing his firm refusal, Qin Yao looked back at him, smiled sweetly, and said, "Be careful. You must survive. If you want to 'go on a killing spree,' make sure you grow up safely."
In this space, more and more figures appeared. Not only had cultivators from the Ji family and Yao Guang Holy Land arrived, but strong experts from Grand Mystery Sect and Xiaoyao Sect had also rushed over.
This was an unimaginably vast force. Dense crowds of people occupied most of the sky, all gathered to besiege Peacock King. If Azure Dragon King weren't here, Peacock King would likely have met his end. Even so, the situation was extremely unfavorable.
The Ji Family Saint Lord merged with the void, empty and still like the Great Dao, ethereal like the vast heavens. His voice seemed to come from an eternal, unknown place, drifting and low: "Peacock King, before we settle our accounts, I want one person from you."
Ye Fan didn't need to think to know the Ji Family Saint Lord was talking about him. As expected, the powerful Ji Family Saint Lord personally named him. Being mentioned by such a great figure would make most cultivators feel honored. But Ye Fan couldn't even muster the mood to cry—this kind of roll call was essentially a "death sentence."
"Are you sure you really want me to hand over this youth?" Peacock King said meaningfully.
"Naturally!" The Ji Family Saint Lord spat out these two words like divine sounds that shook the air. Deep in the space, many demon clan cultivators staggered, nearly collapsing into the dust.
Peacock King sneered coldly, sweeping his gaze over the crowd ahead. "Don't think that just because your Ji family has countless experts, no one can contend with you. If you kill him, I dare say you'll be in for big trouble."
At these words, not only the Ji family members were stunned, but the other cultivators were also greatly surprised.
"Alarmist talk!" A Ji family elder from afar shouted in dissatisfaction.
"Ye Fan, come here," Peacock King beckoned.
Ye Fan had no choice but to rush into the high sky and come before him, unsure of what he was about to say. In that instant, he felt countless killing intents surging toward him, most of them from the Ji family cultivators.
Peacock King laughed loudly, his words shocking to the extreme: "If you kill him... even your so-called 'foundation' might not be enough. Unless your Ji family has a Divine King who refuses to die and crawls back out of the grave, otherwise... heh!"
Was there such a figure in this world who dared to shake the Ji family? No one believed it. Because major powers like Yao Guang Holy Land and the Ji family were simply too unfathomable to truly gauge.
"Ye Fan, show your footwork," Peacock King said with a smile on his refined face.
Now, Ye Fan naturally understood what he needed to do—to borrow a big banner as a tiger skin! Immediately, he left afterimages in the sky, displaying the footwork passed down by Old Madman.
The Ji Family Saint Lord said nothing, standing quietly without any reaction.
Yao Guang Saint Lord, surrounded by one hundred and eight divine halos, seemed to have many worlds manifesting around him. Like a Divine King, he calmly asked, "Young man, who taught you this footwork?"
"It was Big Brother Old Madman," Ye Fan answered calmly and steadily.
Hearing this, Peacock King nearly stumbled. He grumbled inwardly—this kid was going too far. Even if he himself met Old Madman, he would have to respectfully call him "Senior."
Yao Guang Saint Lord, shrouded in halos, couldn't be seen clearly, but from his long silence, one could guess he was speechless. The Ji Family Saint Lord had no reaction at all, merging with the void as if he had completely disappeared.
"Who is this Old Madman you speak of?" A Ji family elder pressed.
"A crazy, muddled old man. People say he's lived for six thousand years," Ye Fan said, completely calm. "My big brother is really pitiful. His mind is unclear, often losing himself..."
Damn it! Even Peacock King was speechless. Calling him "big brother" over and over—how could others bear it? That was a world-shaking figure from six thousand years ago!
"My big brother has sorrow in his heart... My big brother can't forget the past... My big brother he—" Ye Fan rambled on, ignoring everyone else's feelings, spouting nonsense.
Finally, Peacock King couldn't take it anymore and secretly transmitted: "Kid, are you addicted? Calling Old Madman 'big brother' over and over—I think a lot of people want to strangle you!"
"Nonsense!" A Ji family elder couldn't help but scold. "What status does that crazy old man have? You... you're too ignorant of heaven and earth!"
"Since you don't believe me, I can't help it," Ye Fan shrugged, then stepped on the footwork again.
This left everyone even more speechless. Ye Fan was clearly using practical action to prove his close connection with Old Madman. In fact, many already understood that Ye Fan was definitely related to Old Madman, but no one would believe he was his "little brother." The kid was obviously talking nonsense on purpose.
"Kid, don't think you're safe. Old Madman is crazy, so no one dares to provoke him openly. But once chaos breaks out, someone will definitely kill you without hesitation," Peacock King secretly transmitted. "Before this, did the Ji family really not know? They've chased you before and must have found out long ago. They just pretended not to know."
Ye Fan's heart tightened. He had guessed as much. His situation was still precarious. The only thing reassuring him was that the two Saint Lords probably wouldn't strike at him directly.
"Big Brother Old Madman said he'll come to fight me again soon," Ye Fan said like this.
Damn it! Many people wanted to say those four words to him. At this moment, Yao Guang Saint Lord and the Ji Family Saint Lord completely ignored him, treating him as if he didn't exist, not even glancing at him.
The Ji Family Saint Lord shouted, "Peacock King, you provoke my Ji family. Today, you cannot escape your doom!"
Now, only strength could speak. In the void, he simply and directly struck out.
"Boom—" A thunderous sound echoed. The space created by the ancient sage instantly cracked, on the verge of total collapse. At the same time, Yao Guang Saint Lord stepped forward and roared, "Peacock King, you escaped eight hundred years ago. Today, don't even think about running!"
Peacock King laughed heartily. "I soar proudly over the world. Who can stop me? Who can block me?" His black hair flying, he walked forward step by step, merging with heaven and earth, emitting a strange pulse.
"Puff, puff, puff—"
At that moment, behind the two Saint Lords, people kept exploding, turning into blood mist, all killed by the sound of Peacock King's footsteps. In the blink of an eye, over a hundred cultivators were shattered into dust, leaving only faint blood mist drifting.
The great demon clan power had just revealed his divine ability and already locked onto everyone.
At the same time, Azure Dragon King stepped forward, joining Peacock King to face the two Saint Lords.
"Kill—!"
The battle cries shook the heavens. The great war had fully erupted!
Without a doubt, this would be a bloody battle. Peacock King and Azure Dragon King did not flee. They wanted to buy a chance for the demon clan cultivators here, blocking the two Saint Lords while facing encirclement by many elders.
Ye Fan turned and fled. Now, "Big Brother Old Madman" was useless. In the chaos of battle, many would likely try to kill him. The only fortunate thing was that the two Saint Lords didn't personally act, allowing him to escape the central area without being surrounded.
"Hey, Ye kid, stop right there!" Behind him, hundreds of people were chasing Ye Fan, all young disciples of the Ji family.
Last time, Ye Fan had fearlessly shouted for the Ji family to get lost. That story had spread across the Southern Domain, making him the public enemy of the Ji family's younger generation.
Hundreds of people chasing him—how could he fight? One mouthful of spit from each could bury him. Ye Fan fled far away, unable to confront them head-on.
"Hey, Ye kid, if you've got guts, don't run!"
"Damn it, if you've got guts, don't chase!" Ye Fan replied without blushing or racing heart, moving even faster.
"Ye little thief, stop right there! Let your auntie give you a hundred moves, and I'll still capture and kill you!" A female Ji family disciple shouted lightly.
"Don't chase me. You're too ugly. I can't be bothered to fight you," Ye Fan taunted while fleeing.
The female disciples behind were furious, but they really couldn't catch up. That mysterious footwork was beyond their reach.
"Ye little thief, you're the public enemy of our Ji family's younger generation. Even if you run to the ends of the earth, we'll kill you!"
"Are you still asleep? Talking nonsense. Go home and catch up on your sleep."
After that, Ye Fan dared not say much more. Those who shouted were all Ji family disciples of lower cultivation, and he had shaken them off. But many remained silent and kept chasing—no fewer than dozens.
"Ji Hui, you old hag, you really are a persistent ghost!" Ye Fan was shocked to find Ji Hui and several elders personally chasing him.
Ji Hui's face was ashen. She said nothing, pursuing relentlessly. Now that Peacock King wasn't standing up for him, she didn't believe Ye Fan could escape again.
A burst of charming laughter came, like pearls falling on a jade plate, crisp and pleasant, with a soft tone: "Little Leaf, don't run. Big sister will keep you safe."
Ye Fan turned back and saw a tall, extremely sexy woman. Above her head hung a green moon, and her jade feet stepped on five-colored lightning as she followed unhurriedly, no slower than the elders. She wore a green dress, seductive and graceful, with delicate, snow-white skin. Though she was chasing him, she was full of charm, her large eyes watery and alluring, biting her red lips with her teeth, adding a touch of allure.
"Who are you?"
"Your servant, Ji Biyue," she said sweetly, without a trace of killing intent.
"Oh crap, it's you!" Ye Fan's heart tightened. This sexy woman dared to kill even her own sister—she was definitely a ruthless one.
At that moment, Ye Fan noticed Hua Yunfei also chasing after him, like a light, ethereal cloud drifting from behind, his blue robes fluttering, pure and noble.
At the same time, he spotted Yao Guang Holy Maiden. Like a divine lotus just blooming, her skin was crystalline, her jade body emitting rosy light. She possessed a beauty that could overshadow the moon and shame flowers. Her white robes fluttered as she approached him like a fairy descending from the Moon Palace.
"Beautiful lady of Yao Guang, why are you chasing me too?"
Yao Guang Holy Maiden, with her celestial grace and stunning beauty, her eyes sparkling, smiled sweetly enough to make all flowers pale. She transmitted: "Little Brother Ye, why run? Come with me to Yao Guang Holy Land. No one can harm you there, not even the Ji family."
