Chapter 1581 Declaration of War from Yunxia Mountain

“No! Situ Changkong, I’m telling you, no matter what, I will avenge my Grandson today. No one can stop me. How can a person from my dignified Huo family be easily bullied by a junior?!”

The extremely enraged Huo Dongping completely turned hostile. Situ Changkong and An Daoquan secretly groaned in their hearts. If this old man insisted on going, they wouldn’t be able to stop him.

And with Ye Bufan’s current Cultivation, he would be unable to contend against an Emperor Realm expert no matter what. He would likely suffer a great loss.

Just then, the butler rushed in from outside.

“Two Elders, someone has come to deliver a challenge.”

Situ Changkong looked back: “What’s going on?”

The butler said urgently: “It’s someone from Yunxia Mountain. They sent someone to deliver a challenge.”

Hearing this news, An Daoquan and the other’s hearts sank. The matter here hadn’t been dealt with yet, and trouble from there had already arrived.

Huo Dongping, on the other hand, became much calmer, stopping his steps and no longer rushing out the door.

Situ Changkong said: “Let him in.”

Although deep down, he was unwilling to be an enemy of Yunxia Mountain, there was no avoiding such a matter. He could only Face it.

Soon, a middle-aged man in a long robe walked in from outside, his expression showing anger and arrogance.

“Disciple Guan Ping of Yunxia Mountain has come to deliver a challenge. Who is in charge here?”

Situ Changkong and An Daoquan exchanged a glance. Finally, he stepped forward: “This old man is!”

Guan Ping said: “The junior Ye Bufan, on Yunxia Mountain, bullied my Disciple. Tomorrow at noon, on Yanbo Lake, we shall determine victory and defeat, a duel to the death.

If he dares not come, do not blame my Yunxia Mountain for disregarding the Jianghu rules and annihilating his entire family!

Xuanyuan Pavilion, by aiding the wicked, shall be treated similarly.”

After speaking, he pulled out a challenge letter, slapped it on a nearby table, and then strode away.

“This…”

Situ Changkong hesitated for a moment, then went and picked up the challenge letter. The content on it was identical to what Guan Ping had just said, the only difference being the three powerful characters at the bottom—Hong Sihai.

“What, Hong Sihai, it’s actually him? He’s still alive?”

Others didn’t feel much about these characters, but Huo Dongping beside him let out an exclamation of surprise.

An Daoquan asked in surprise: “Lord Huo, do you know this person?”

“Of course I do. A hundred years ago, I once fought him. At that time, we were both young, both Earth Rank Cultivators. That battle was evenly matched, with no clear winner.

I thought Yunxia Mountain had declined,

and old monsters like them had died, but I didn’t expect him to still be alive.

His Cultivation back then was no worse than mine. According to this calculation, he should at least be in the Emperor Realm now.”

As Huo Dongping spoke, his expression had subtly changed. He originally thought that hidden Sects like Yunxia Mountain had declined, but Hong Sihai’s appearance changed his view. It seemed things were not as simple as he imagined.

Moreover, what he had just said was not entirely true. He had indeed fought Hong Sihai back then, but the final result was his defeat by one move.

“What, he’s actually an Emperor Realm expert?”

Situ Changkong and An Daoquan both gasped, their Faces ashen.

If only a Saint-Grade expert had come, Ye Bufan might still be able to handle it, but they didn’t expect the other party to send an Emperor Realm expert.

It was clear that Yunxia Mountain was truly enraged this time.

The two of them were only Heaven Rank Cultivators, tens of thousands of miles away from the Emperor Realm, and a wave of despair washed over them.

But then they remembered Huo Dongping beside them and quickly said urgently: “Lord Huo, Yunxia Mountain is so arrogant, the Heavenly Palace cannot stand by and do nothing!”

“You are right. As the Lord of the Heavenly Palace, this old man cannot stand by. Although the Lord has not yet come out of seclusion, I can mediate and make Yunxia Mountain retreat.”

Although he had lost by one move a hundred years ago, after so many years of Cultivation, Huo Dongping was confident he would not lose to Hong Sihai again.

Moreover, he had the Heavenly Palace behind him, and he believed Yunxia Mountain would not disrespect him.

As for forcibly suppressing Yunxia Mountain with military might, he did not have the courage or the strength for that.

Hearing Huo Dongping say this, Situ Changkong and the other two immediately let out a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, they reacted in time and called for reinforcements from the Heavenly Palace.

But before the two of them could finish rejoicing, Huo Dongping spoke again: “This old man can help, but before that, the matter of humiliating my Grandson must be resolved first.”

“This…”

Situ Changkong said urgently: “Lord Huo, you are a magnanimous person, please don’t bother with a junior anymore.”

An Daoquan followed up: “That’s right, Lord Huo, Ye Bufan is just a junior. Bothering with him doesn’t suit your status.”

Huo Dongping sneered: “You’re right, it would indeed be beneath my status for this old man to attack a junior. Naturally, others will take action.

You go and tell Ye Bufan to immediately come and kneel before me to apologize, and then sever his own arms. Only then will this old man act and help persuade Yunxia Mountain to retreat. Otherwise, he can just wait to die.”

“This…”

An Daoquan and the other’s expressions immediately changed drastically. They didn’t expect Huo Dongping to make such a demand. With Ye Bufan’s character, he would definitely not agree.

Situ Changkong said: “Old brother, restraining hidden Sects is originally the duty of the Heavenly Palace. Isn’t what you’re doing a bit inappropriate?”

“You shut up!” Huo Dongping’s expression completely darkened. “Situ Changkong, have you forgotten your own status? How I do things is none of your business.

I was polite to you before because of the engagement between our two families, but now that your Granddaughter is so ignorant and has injured my Grandson to this extent, then don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

“I…”

Situ Changkong also didn’t expect the other party to turn hostile so quickly. However, in terms of status, the other party was the Deputy Lord of the Heavenly Palace. In terms of Cultivation, the other party was an Emperor Realm expert. In every aspect, he was completely suppressed.

An Daoquan said: “Lord Huo, public matters are public, and private matters are private. I think these two matters should still be handled separately.

If Yunxia Mountain is allowed to act recklessly in the Secular World, it might also harm the prestige of the Heavenly Palace. It will also be difficult for you to explain when the Lord comes out of seclusion.”

“Are you trying to pressure me with the Lord?”

Huo Dongping’s Aura suddenly erupted. Under the pressure of an Emperor Realm expert, Situ Changkong and the other two were completely suppressed, unable to resist in the slightest.

Fortunately, he only released it for a moment and immediately withdrew his Aura.

Even so, the two of them felt as if they had experienced a great catastrophe of life and death, completely devoid of strength.

Huo Dongping said coldly: “I will deal with the matter of Yunxia Mountain myself. Before that, if Ye Bufan doesn’t agree to my conditions, then it won’t be too late to wait until after the great battle at Yanbo Lake.”

As things stood, Situ Changkong and the other two were helpless. They had originally wanted to use the Heavenly Palace’s duties to pressure Huo Dongping, but now it seemed completely unfeasible.

After all, there was no time limit for such a matter. It wouldn’t be inappropriate for him to drag it out until after the great battle at Yanbo Lake, but if that happened, Ye Bufan would lose his life.

“Go, tell that brat that I’ll wait for him here. If he doesn’t come, don’t expect this old man to help. He can just wait to die.”

Huo Dongping’s words were full of confidence. Now, Yunxia Mountain was coming fiercely, and the one leading them was the Grand Elder, Hong Sihai.

Under such circumstances, if he didn’t act, the other party would only have one path: death. Under the pressure of a dignified Emperor Realm expert, Ye Bufan would have no choice but to bow to him.
