Chapter 1205: One Must Accept One's Age!

"Is that so? What about adding me?"

A figure appeared, flanking Zhuge Qingxuan together with Ye Yuan in a pincer formation.

Zhuge Qingxuan was bold with his skills; though injured, he showed no intention of fleeing, displaying the demeanor of an expert.

He didn't believe anyone in this divine realm could actually keep him here.

But when he saw the dragon clan's arrival, his expression changed.

"Long Min! You're still alive!"

This Long Min was the previous patriarch of the dragon clan.

Many years ago, he had passed the position to Ao Duo and retired.

The world thought Long Min had long since died, but not only was he alive, his strength was formidable.

"Long Min pays respects to the Dragon Lord!"

Long Min first bowed respectfully to Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan was slightly surprised but nodded in return.

"Thanks to the blessings of the Calamity God King, I've managed to linger on. But isn't the Calamity God King's action today going too far?" Long Min turned to Zhuge Qingxuan.

Zhuge Qingxuan, with a carefree air, said lightly, "I asked them to hand over Ye Yuan, but they refused, so I had to act."

Long Min said, "The Empyrean God King is the common lord of our dragon clan. Even I must address him as Dragon Lord. Asking us to hand him over is unreasonable."

"Hey, old man, you're being unreasonable! We said the young master isn't in the dragon clan, but you insist we hand him over. Where are we supposed to find him?" Lü'er suddenly shouted into the sky.

A cold glint flashed in Zhuge Qingxuan's eyes, and even from such a distance, Lü'er felt as if struck by lightning.

"What did you say?" Zhuge Qingxuan said slowly, word by word.

Lü'er's words made Zhuge Qingxuan's veins bulge with anger, his fury flaring up instantly.

He, Zhuge Qingxuan, prided himself on being elegant and suave, and at just over three thousand years old, he didn't look old, not even middle-aged.

Yet this little girl called him an old man!

Ye Yuan, who had been furious, now found himself secretly amused by Lü'er.

The girl, innocent and without guile, had blurted out something that hit Zhuge Qingxuan's sore spot.

He released his aura slightly, blocking Zhuge Qingxuan's, and said calmly, "Lü'er is only in her thirties. Is there a problem with her calling you an old man? At your age, why pretend to be young? One must accept one's age! Now, it's the young people's world. Look at Senior Long Min—he knows when to step down and yield. At your age, shouldn't you also hand over the position of Saint City and become a Supreme Elder or something? Wouldn't that be pleasant?"

With every word Ye Yuan spoke, Zhuge Qingxuan's face darkened further.

Seeing this, Long Min couldn't help but smile.

This Dragon Lord was not only powerful in martial arts but also sharp-tongued!

But Zhuge Qingxuan had no retort.

Even if Ye Yuan's two lifetimes were combined, he was only a little over five hundred years old, barely a fraction of Zhuge Qingxuan's age.

Though both were peerless geniuses, Zhuge Qingxuan paled in comparison.

After all, Ye Yuan had shot up to fourth among the Ten Great God Kings in just a few months.

Given time, surpassing Zhuge Qingxuan wouldn't be difficult.

And that was Zhuge Qingxuan's deepest pain!

Otherwise, why would he go to such lengths to trouble Ye Yuan?

His two-thousand-year reign as the number one in the divine realm was finally being challenged.

Though Ye Yuan had no interest in that.

He said this purely to annoy Zhuge Qingxuan.

Right now, he found Zhuge Qingxuan utterly detestable.

But Ye Yuan's words indeed disgusted Zhuge Qingxuan.

When Ye Yuan talked about stepping down, even if Zhuge Qingxuan wanted to, who would take over?

The elites of the Violet Gold Hall had all been slaughtered by Ye Yuan!

That bastard must have done it on purpose!

Yue Mengli, seeing this, smiled and said, "Lü'er, your words were innocent, but Brother Yuan's words are infuriating."

Lü'er looked confused. "Did I say something wrong?"

"Hehe, Miss Lü'er is innocent and said nothing wrong. Isn't the Calamity God King just an old man? Ha... haha..." Ao Yong couldn't help but laugh.

Lü'er still looked bewildered, completely unaware of what everyone was laughing about.

She had little worldly experience, spending most of her years in cultivation and slumber, isolated from the outside world.

So, though over thirty, her mindset was no different from a teenage girl's.

Zhuge Qingxuan's perception was sharp; he knew the dragon clan was mocking him.

The usually carefree Calamity God King now had bulging veins, anger burning through his entire body.

"Ye Yuan, do you really think my whiskers are so easy to stroke?"

Zhuge Qingxuan's aura surged skyward, even Long Min's expression changed slightly.

Clearly, he hadn't expected Zhuge Qingxuan to have been holding back his strength!

But Ye Yuan looked unconcerned and said lightly, "You call yourself a tiger? To me, you're just a kitten. Come on, kitten, let's hear you meow."

But this time, no one could laugh.

Zhuge Qingxuan's aura was terrifying!

The dragon clan members' faces changed drastically; they were truly frightened by his aura.

"So... so strong! So the Calamity God King hasn't been showing his true strength all along!"

"Alas, the Dragon Lord was too rash! Those words were satisfying, but now... it's not good."

"This... can the Dragon Lord and the old patriarch Long Min block this strike?"

...

Long Min's expression was grave as he warned Ye Yuan, "Dragon Lord, be careful!"

But Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, "Old patriarch, step back! Let me fight this kitten until we're both wounded, then you come and kill him!"

As he spoke, Ye Yuan's tone turned cold.

The Calamity God King had crossed his bottom line; he was determined to kill this man, even if it meant severe injury.

Long Min's expression changed, unsure of what to make of this.

But seeing the murderous look in Ye Yuan's eyes, he was startled, nodded, and stepped back.

Long Min's action shocked everyone.

"This... what is the Dragon Lord doing? Does he intend to face the Calamity God King alone?" Ao Duo exclaimed in alarm.

At that moment, Zhuge Qingxuan's aura had reached its peak. He looked at Ye Yuan coldly and said, "Very well, you have guts. Not only have you successfully provoked my anger, but you also dare to face me alone! Since you want to hear this 'kitten' meow, I'll let you hear it! So listen well: Myster... ious... One... Finger!"

With one finger, the wind and clouds stirred!

A strike that moved heaven and earth surged toward Ye Yuan!
