The appearance of the old man stirred an ominous premonition in the hearts of Chen Buren and the other two.
From the old man's actions just now, it seemed he intended to protect Aotian, while they wanted to kill Aotian. This would inevitably offend the old man.
The old man's status in the Purple Gold Chamber was not low; offending him was no different from offending the Purple Gold Chamber itself.
The mysterious power of the Purple Gold Chamber was well-known, and unless absolutely necessary, Chen Buren and the others did not dare to recklessly antagonize them.
"President Yun, what do you mean by intervening today?!"
Although Underworld Demon knew that they could not easily offend the Purple Gold Chamber, given the current situation, it seemed unavoidable that they would have to resort to violence. Thus, he asked in a rather unfriendly manner.
The old man, known as Yunfeng, smiled lightly and said:
"Three of you, one should spare others when possible. Today, for the sake of my Purple Gold Chamber, how about letting Aotian go?"
Chen Buren and the others felt a heavy sinking in their hearts; as expected, this fellow was protecting Aotian.
Aotian felt both surprised and delighted; he knew that if Yunfeng was determined to help him, there might still be a glimmer of hope for him.
Chen Buren exchanged glances with the others and then said:
"President Yun, this Aotian has offended our three forces without knowing his place; he must pay with his life! We hope President Yun can understand. In the future, our three forces will certainly apologize for today's rudeness!"
Chen Buren's words indeed gave face to the Purple Gold Chamber, but they also subtly hinted at a threat. By repeatedly mentioning the three forces, they were undoubtedly referring to Azure Cloud Sect, Ice River Sect, and Heavenly Nether Gate standing together on this matter.
No matter how powerful the Purple Gold Chamber was, they wouldn't dare to offend all three of us at once. If you protect Aotian, it would be equivalent to provoking us! Apologies are meaningless; perhaps our three forces might even launch a joint attack against the Purple Gold Chamber!
Yunfeng had been around for most of his life and could naturally discern the hidden meaning behind their words. The smile on his face remained, but his eyes had turned cold as he said:
"So it seems we have nothing left to discuss?!"
Chen Buren and the others were taken aback. They had originally thought that Yunfeng would choose to avoid confrontation in front of the three major powers, but they did not expect this old man to be so resolute, directly laying everything bare.
It was clear that he intended to offend all three major powers for Aotian's sake.
At this moment, Chen Buren and the others were extremely angry. They had already given enough face to the Purple Gold Chamber, yet this man was still aggressive. Did he really think that a mere merchant association was invincible?
At the same time, they felt a deep jealousy towards Aotian. Could it be that a small figure like Aotian was worth more than the three of them combined?
As they thought about this, their anger intensified. Underworld Demon even tore off the facade and said, "Yunfeng, don't think that just because you are the vice president of the Purple Gold Chamber, you can suppress us! If we are truly pushed to our limits, destroying your Purple Gold Chamber is just a thought away for us three!"
A flash of killing intent crossed Yunfeng's eyes as he laughed in anger, "What a big mouth! It seems that my Purple Gold Chamber has not acted for a long time, and some insignificant characters have started to stir!"
Underworld Demon was furious, and a fierce Mystical Energy erupted like a volcanic explosion, with blood-red light shooting into the sky. A strong smell of blood filled the air, making people nauseous.
Aotian was startled by this scene; it seemed that Underworld Demon could no longer contain his anger and was about to strike. Underworld Demon was also a warrior from the Earth Spirit Realm, especially with his refined Mystical Energy being the strange Blood Attribute Mystical Energy, which was particularly difficult to deal with.
Aotian couldn't help but worry about Yunfeng. After all, if Yunfeng fell today, he would likely have no way to escape.
Yunfeng narrowed his eyes, the smile on his face had long since vanished without a trace. He coldly said, "There is not a single good thing in the Heavenly Nether Gate from top to bottom; their cultivation methods are exceptionally evil! Eating raw bones, absorbing fresh blood, devouring human souls... each of these actions goes against heaven. Today, I will act on behalf of heaven through my Purple Gold Chamber!"
As he spoke, terrifying Thunderous Profound Energy surged from Yunfeng's body into the sky, and his eyes seemed to transform into a realm of thunder, constantly flashing with lightning that sent chills down people's spines.
"Senior, do you need my assistance?" Aotian asked softly.
"No need, just be careful!" Yunfeng said with a friendly smile towards Aotian.
Immediately, Yunfeng's attention was fully focused on the Underworld Demon, his face filled with a domineering and fierce aura.
"Blood Python!"
The Underworld Demon roared, and suddenly, crimson Mystical Energy gathered in the air to form a giant python. The python was blood-red and massive, casting a huge shadow on the ground under the sunlight.
Yunfeng sneered and shouted, "Thunder Eagle!"
Instantly, Thunderous Profound Energy surged violently in the air, forming a giant eagle.
The eagle spread its wings wide, blocking out the sun. Lightning flickered across its body as thunderbolts twisted and danced, striking fear into the hearts of onlookers.
In the vast sky, the python and the eagle faced each other, causing the surrounding air to heat up suddenly as if it were about to ignite.
Aotian watched in fascination; he truly envied the ability to condense forms with such ease.
"Go!"
Suddenly, two shouts erupted from Yunfeng and the Underworld Demon.
In an instant, the previously opposing giant python and giant eagle charged towards each other. The scene resembled two massive meteors colliding, instilling awe in those who witnessed it.
"Boom!"
A sound like the destruction of heaven and earth echoed through the air, causing the ground around them to tremble violently, with cracks appearing in some places.
Aotian's face was filled with shock. Although he knew that the Earth Spirit Realm Warrior was powerful, he never expected that their clash would create such immense force.
Now he understood that Chen Buren's initial strike had not been serious at all. If he had been serious from the start, Aotian might not have even waited for Yunfeng to save him; he could have died.
"Aotian, die!"
Just as Aotian was lost in thought, a roar suddenly snapped him back to reality.
Chen Buren looked at Aotian with a fierce expression and then swung his right hand, unleashing a ferocious Mystical Energy Whip aimed at Aotian's vital points.
Aotian was horrified and was about to move when a bolt of lightning shot out from Yunfeng's sleeve, striking fiercely against the Mystical Energy Whip.
Following that, several Thunder Chains flew out from Yunfeng's sleeve, dragging Chen Buren into the battle circle.
Aotian watched in astonishment, realizing he had not expected Yunfeng to have the strength to counterattack against Chen Buren.
Especially now, Yunfeng was holding his own against two opponents without losing ground. This further invigorated Aotian's spirits.
"Bai Feng, Aotian is in your hands..."
