The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 752: Ji Wuya

“Yan Tianzhen, how much longer are you going to continue this farce?”

As soon as the old man appeared, he looked at Yan Tianzhen before him and spoke with a sharp tone. 

The aura around him instantly blossomed and reached the Ascendant level. 

His gaze did not fall on Shen Yifeng beside them; instead, he immediately confronted Yan Tianzhen.

“Ji Wuya!

Does your Ji Clan really want to go to war with my Yan Clan?

Do you really want to protect him today?”

Yan Tianzhen’s eyes darkened as he looked at the slightly hunched, white-haired old man, his expression heavy.

“Whether to go to war or not, that decision has always been in the hands of your Yan Clan.

Has my Ji Clan ever been the one to provoke first?”

Before Yan Tianzhen could reply, Ji Wuya continued, “I deeply regret Yan Ling’s death.

But he truly deserved it!”

Ji Wuya’s words immediately defined the nature of Yan Ling’s death. Upon hearing this, Yan Tianzhen’s expression became even more fierce.

“You just need to answer me, are you going to protect Shen Yifeng today?”

After a moment of silence, Yan Tianzhen asked, his gaze fixed intently on Shen Yifeng.

At these words, a cold smile appeared on Ji Wuya’s face again. “Earlier, you and Yan Ling were two against one, and you still got one of your own killed. Now you ask if I am protecting him.

Well, let me make it clear: I am protecting him today. What are you going to do about it?

Do you, Yan Tianzhen, intend to continue?

Or are you going to call in some more Ascendants from your Yan Clan, or even a Spirit Immortal?”

Ji Wuya’s expression was indifferent. 

Ever since the failed arranged marriage decades ago, the Ji Clan and the Yan Clan had been on the verge of irreconcilable conflict. 

During those years, their friction had mostly been hidden, not brought to the surface. 

But now, they could no longer pretend as before. What was the harm in tearing off the mask?

“Fine, fine, fine. Go back and prepare for war…”

With no other Yan Clan Ascendants present, all Yan Tianzhen could do was leave a harsh word, sweep his sleeves, and lead the remaining Yan Clan members away. 

There was no other way in this situation. 

If he had forced a fight, he wouldn’t have been able to capture Shen Yifeng, and now with Ji Wuya here, if the Heavenly Dragon Race decided to intervene, Yan Tianzhen might not even be able to leave alive. 

All the factors were against the Yan Clan.

Seeing Yan Tianzhen leave, the major powers present sighed with a mixture of regret. 

Although they understood Yan Tianzhen’s decision, they were disappointed that they hadn’t gotten the show they had hoped for.

“I thought Yan Tianzhen would fight them to the end, but it seems like he’s just like this.”

“Today, the Yan Clan really lost more than they won.

But why didn’t Yan Tianzhen take their Water Spirit Saint Body?

That little girl looks like Su Jingzhen’s servant.

If the Yan Clan falls into Yan Xia’s hands in the future, wouldn’t it indirectly mean that the Yan Clan will fall into the hands of the Heavenly Dragon Race?”

“Hey, don’t say that, really don’t say that. 

Now that you mention it, I think there’s a real possibility of that happening”.

“Let’s call it a day, let’s call it a day. The matter of Heavenly Deity Island is pretty much over for today. 

And as for the Divine Kingdom, we probably won’t be able to enter it again in the future.”

“…”

The onlookers continued their discussions in this manner before deciding to leave.

At this point, everyone knew that the matter between the Yan Clan and the Ji Clan was far from over.

After this incident, the landscape of the Luo River Basin would undergo significant changes due to these two powers.

Even if they didn’t fight to the death, there would inevitably be ongoing battles and sanctions on various fronts.

And the Yan Clan and the Ji Clan were not minor players. 

As the saying goes, “When a hair is pulled, the whole body moves.” If these two clans went to war, the numerous second- and third-tier forces below them would inevitably be drawn into the conflict as well.

“It’s too bad that the old man from the Yan Clan isn’t as determined. Otherwise, it might have been possible to leave him here today.”

At this moment, Su Jingzhen said this with a light smile.

Upon hearing his words, Yan Xia pursed her lips: “Is Young Master really planning to cripple the Yan Clan? 

Has Young Master already forgotten what Yan Xia said earlier? 

A crippled Yan Clan wouldn’t be a good thing for Young Master, would it?”

Upon hearing this, the corners of Su Jingzhen’s mouth curled up into another smile.

His gaze fell upon Yan Xia, and he asked curiously, “Now that things have gone as you wished, Yan Ling is dead, but those old men like Yan Tianzhen don’t seem to have much good will towards you. 

Do you still have confidence?”

He had clearly seen that when Yan Tianzhen left, his gaze had fallen on Yan Xia.

But he had merely glanced at her and then departed without a word, clearly not paying much attention to her.

However, upon hearing his words, Yan Xia’s lips curled up into another confident smile.

“Under normal circumstances, my Water Spirit Saint Body is indeed important to the Yan Clan. 

However, it is more of an added advantage. They would put a lot of hope in me, but they wouldn’t bet everything on me. 

This was because Yan Ling existed. 

Although he wasn’t a congenital body, he was very close to it. 

In addition, Yan Ling had always performed exceptionally well over the years and had already been designated as the next clan leader. 

Of course, Yan Ling knew about my potential. 

While he didn’t go so far as to harm me, he still certainly tried to suppress me in subtle ways. 

Now that he is dead, I have become the only choice for the Yan Clan.”

Pausing for a moment, Yan Xia smiled and said, “So it’s not a matter of whether I have confidence or not. As long as I am alive, they will have no choice but to bet everything on me.”

Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but whistle in admiration. This was the power of being the only option. If there had been any other choice, the Yan Clan wouldn’t have been so completely at Yan Xia’s mercy.

At this moment, Yan Xia said with a smile, “But now, Young Master, I am still a member of the Yan Clan. 

If I stay by your side for too long, it will inevitably cause a lot of gossip, which would not be beneficial to either of us. 

You just need to know that Yan Xia will never forget the heavenly oath I made.”

Without waiting for Su Jingzhen’s answer, she took a step and left Heavenly Deity Island.

“Since that’s the case, I should inform my master and the others. If we really have to go to war with the Yan Clan, it would be best not to be too harsh.”

Of course, he believed Yan Xia’s statement. If the Yan Clan could preserve their strongest forces, it would indeed be more beneficial than harmful for him.
