218: You're so foolish! Even if I kill you, your things will still be mine.

"Good, good, good. Huyan Zhuo has truly raised a fine granddaughter. She steals everyone's things and still dares to be so stubborn."

"Little girl, we'll give you another chance. Hand over the items and come back with us. After your grandfather, that Old Thing, brings the treasures and apologizes to our seven families one by one, we will release you."

The Great Emperor Ancestors of the major factions were so angry they laughed when they saw Huyan Xiaoyao not only refuse to hand over the enlightenment tea tree but also seriously tell Elder Yu not to interfere.

If they hadn't valued their status and been unwilling to attack a junior, Huyan Xiaoyao and the other person wouldn't be here spouting such nonsense.

"Hmph, Seniors, stop pressuring Junior Sister Huyan. Those items are on us. If you want them, come find us."

"Exactly. The enlightenment tea tree was naturally born and raised by Heaven and Earth. The capable acquire it. Why should we hand it over to you?"

Seeing that the Ancestors of the major factions were blaming everything on Huyan Xiaoyao,

Chu Feng and Gu Chen spoke up with displeased expressions.

"Fine, fine! Two Saint Realm ants dare to jump around in front of us? You are courting death!!"

Hearing the arrogant words of Chu Feng and Gu Chen,

The Great Emperor Ancestor of Chiyang Holy Land was the first to lose patience, unleashing two streams of power at them, intending to kill them both.

"How dare you!!"

"Daring to attack my Sect Master's Direct Disciples? This is a capital offense!!"

The moment the Great Emperor Ancestor of Chiyang Holy Land unleashed his power,

Four Brothers Zhao Da and Danyangzi erupted with Peak Great Emperor cultivation, instantly appearing from the void beside them, scattering the two streams of power and shielding the group.

"Hiss... These people are actually all Peak Great Emperors?"

Seeing Elder Zhao Da and the four others radiating Peak Great Emperor aura and blocking Gu Chen and his companions, Elder Yu was utterly astonished.

He finally understood why Huyan Xiaoyao and Gu Chen had just told him not to interfere.

With five Peak Great Emperors protecting them, they could walk sideways across the entire Canglan Continent. Why would they need protection from him, a mere First Level Great Emperor?

"Who... who are you?"

Sensing the powerful aura emanating from Elder Zhao Da, Danyangzi, and the other three,

The Great Emperor Ancestors of the Seven Great Emperor-level Factions were also terrified, quickly retreating several kilometers.

They never expected that bullying a few Saint Realm ants would attract five Peak Great Emperor Experts. This was truly terrifying.

"Hmph, what does it matter who we are? Who just attacked the Direct Disciples? Step out obediently and accept death."

Looking at the Ancestors of the Seven Great Emperor-level Factions who had retreated a distance,

Elder Zhao Da wore a cold expression and looked at the Great Emperor Ancestor of Chiyang Holy Land among them.

Since this person dared to launch a killing strike against Gu Chen and the others, he was certainly doomed today.

If the others dared to interfere, they wouldn't mind summoning Reinforcements and wiping all these people out.

"It wasn't us, it was Fellow Daoist Chiyang who attacked."

"That's right, Fellow Daoist Chiyang made the move. If you're looking for someone, look for him."

Hearing Elder Zhao Da demand that the person who attacked Gu Chen and Chu Feng step out to accept death,

The Great Emperor Ancestors of the other six major factions quickly retreated a distance from the Great Emperor Ancestor of Chiyang Holy Land, leaving him isolated.

They had no choice. If Gu Chen and his companions only had the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce as their Backer, they would definitely have helped out.

But now, Gu Chen and his companions' Backer consisted of five Peak Great Emperors. They dared not have any further involvement with the Great Emperor Ancestor of Chiyang Holy Land.

After all, if a fight truly broke out, they definitely wouldn't be able to win.

Although there were seven Great Emperors on their side, all five of Elder Zhao Da's group were Peak Great Emperors, while only three among them were Peak Great Emperors. In terms of combat power, Zhao Da and his group were definitely stronger.

Therefore, they were unwilling to fight desperately for the Chiyang Holy Land, which was unrelated to them.

Of course, this wasn't the most important thing. The most crucial factor was the identity of Gu Chen and his companions, and Elder Zhao Da and his group.

A faction capable of having five Peak Great Emperors was definitely not a native power of the Canglan Continent. Only those factions Above the Starry Sky possessed such strength.

Elder Zhao Da referred to Gu Chen and the others as the Sect Master's Direct Disciples, which indicated that the opposing side was a Sect. A Sect that had five Peak Great Emperors protecting its disciples—the thought alone was terrifying.

"You are so ruthless!!"

Seeing the Ancestors of the six major factions instantly betray him, the Great Emperor Ancestor of Chiyang Holy Land's expression was extremely ugly.

He also had some guesses about the identity of Elder Zhao Da and his group, and his heart was filled with extreme fear.

"Fellow Daoists, I was reckless just now. Please give me a chance. I am willing to compensate with a large amount of treasures to help calm the Direct Disciples."

The Great Emperor Ancestor of Chiyang Holy Land cupped his fists toward Elder Zhao Da and his group, begging for mercy in a low voice.

This was his only option. Since the Great Emperor Ancestors of the six major factions wouldn't help him, his fate today was almost certainly grim. If he could use treasures to settle the matter, that would be ideal.

"Heh, how foolish you are. If I kill you, won't your treasures still be ours?" Hearing that the Great Emperor Ancestor of Chiyang Holy Land intended to settle the matter by offering compensation, Elder Zhao Da sneered.

He then took out the dragon flame staff, called his three brothers and Danyangzi, and charged toward the Great Emperor Ancestor of Chiyang Holy Land to kill him.

"Ahhh!!!"

"I didn't even injure them! Why are you relentlessly persecuting me?"

"If that's the case, then even if I die, I will drag one of you down with me!"
