…
After Ye Fan and Chen Bin explained the details of the situation, Xu Ze nodded slightly, maintaining his calm expression.
Long Yang clutched his chest and looked at Xu Ze with difficulty. “For the sake of a top-grade spirit stone, Zhou Hong harmed fellow righteous disciples. I plead with the Holy Son to do justice to the disciples!”
As Long Yang said that, he fell to his knees and bowed deeply to the ground, tears flowing from his eyes.
Looking at these three men, all pointing their figures at him, Zhou Hong became pale and filled with fear.
“Holy, Holy Son, spare your life! Holy son, spare my life ah...”
Xu Ze still had a calm expression.
Honestly, on the Holy Heaven and Earth continent, the law of the jungle had been the rule since ancient times.
The Holy Heaven and Earth sect, despite being in the righteous sect, wasn’t necessarily a paragon of justice.
Furthermore, Xu Ze wasn't concerned about Zhou Hong’s actions of killing for treasures.
As the biggest villain of the nine reincarnations, even the cruelest actions couldn’t sway his emotions.
However, what truly irked Xu Ze was Zhou Hong daring to harm the Holy Fire Palace disciples. This was blatant disrespect for the Holy Heaven, Earth Sect, and Xu Ze himself.
“Take him to the gathering place.”
Xu Ze waved his hand, and Zhou Hong’s storage ring flew into his hands.
“Yes!” Ye Fan and Chen Bin rejoiced.
Although Xu Ze was expressionless, his words indicated he would handle the matter!
Zhou Hong’s face turned ashen.
He wanted to kill himself, but due to Xu Ze’s spiritual pressure, he couldn’t move a muscle.
“By the way, why are you two in such a miserable state?”
Seeing Ye Fan and Chen Bin, especially Ye Fan, with a visible sword wound on his chest, Xu Ze frowned.
He remembered that Ye Fan hadn’t encountered any formidable enemies in the secret realm. Usually, he picked treasures casually, occasionally showing them off.
How did he end up in such a state?
Seems like the plotline has fallen apart again.
But with Ye Fan's status as the Son of Heaven’s Destiny, he shouldn’t be in such a miserable state, right?
“This...” Ye Fan and Chen Bin looked at each other.
Their current condition was due to an encounter with Lu Qingqing from the Heavenly Cold Palace. However, they didn’t know how to explain it.
The relationship between the Holy Maiden and the Holy Son was already strained. And revealing additional information might bring unnecessary trouble.
“Senior Brother and I encountered a demonic bear. We fought with it for three hundred rounds... right, Senior Brother Chen?” Ye Fan tried to divert the conversation.
“Ah, yes, it was terrifying. Thanks to Junior Brother Ye’s quick thinking, we defeated it.” Chen Bin chimed in.
Based on their unison responses, Xu Ze understood they weren’t willing to tell the truth.
Well, he wasn’t interested in these things either.
He simply decided not to press the matter further.
At this time, Lin Yu’er, who had been hiding at a distance, approached cautiously.
“Holy Son, is everything resolved?”
Lin Yu’er had been hiding from afar to avoid dragging Xu Ze with her.
After she saw no problems, she immediately approached him.
“Yes, just a minor conflict among disciples,” Xu Ze nodded. He glanced at the heavily injured Long Yang. “You're a disciple of the Dragon Thunder Sect?”
Long Yang nodded vigorously, “Disciple Long Yang of the Dragon Thunder Sect, cough, cough, cough...”
Looking at this young man coughing up blood, Xu Ze showed a hint of surprise.
Long Yang?
No wonder this young man looked familiar.
The memories of Xu Ze’s previous nine reincarnations crossed through his mind.
Long Yang assisted the protagonist Ye Fan in leading the Dragon Thunder Sect against the Demonic Abyss and played a crucial role in the later stages of the plotline.
But this happened ten years later.
During the chaotic battle, he was in his prime, and only a few glimpses of him were described.
As a result, Xu Ze didn’t recognize him for the first time.
In the later stages of the plotline, when Ye Fan was preparing to gather the power of righteous cultivators to fight against Xu Ze’s army of demonic cultivators, this Long Yang, the future Dragon Thunder Sect’s Sect Master, was the first to come forward and respond.
Although in the original plotline, Long Yang was a minor character who appeared a few times.
However, the tens of thousands of silver armor soldiers he led still caused considerable distress to Xu Ze’s Demon army.
If it weren’t for Long Yang, Ye Fan and the others would still have difficulty entering the Demon Abyss.
But this Long Yang, why did he appear so soon?
Xu Ze moved his hands behind his back, his eyebrows furrowed.
Obviously, he was feeling uncertain about the plot’s development today.
“Ahem, I’m sorry, Lord Holy Son. This disciple is heavily injured and cannot greet Lord Holy Son...” Long Yang coughed again and looked exhausted.
Seeing this, Xu Ze sighed. He extended his finger and tapped on a point in Long Yang’s Meridian. Pure Yang flowed into Long Yang’s body, healing his internal injuries miraculously.
Long Yang felt a fiery heat surging from his dantian and entering his entire body.
“Ahhh!”
Long Yang couldn’t help but scream.
Soon, his injuries were miraculously healed.
Long Yang looked at his hands in disbelief as a fiery heat erupted in his heart.
Without saying a word, he knelt directly before Xu Ze and bowed deeply.
“Many thanks to the Holy Son for saving me! Long Yang is grateful beyond words!”
Xu Ze bent down to support Long Yang with a gentle smile on his face.
Although he didn’t speak a word, this smile was like a clear stream of water flowing gently into Long Yang’s wounded heart.
At this moment, tears welled up in Long Yang’s eyes as if he recalled his junior sister’s tragic death. He bit his lower lip, ignoring Xu Ze’s attempt to stop him, and bowed deeply before him.
Submission!
Xu Ze’s smile conquered Long Yang’s heart!
Ye Fan and Chen Bin looked at Xu Ze with even more respect and admiration in their eyes.
“As expected of the Holy Son! With such temperament and virtue, only you can be worthy of the title of ‘Holy Son!’
“?”
Xu Ze glanced at Ye Fan and Chen Bin, whose eyes were shone with adoration.
They looked at him as if they had seen a god.
Xu Ze could understand Chen Bin’s admiration, but Ye Fan, why was he getting involved in this?
Wasn’t he the protagonist?
