Chapter 424: 232, Unnoticed, the final tune has already begun to play
The luminous jade-green tinted the grey brick walls.
Xu Yuan looked calmly at the middle-aged lion-headed man whose palm was descending, his eyes betraying neither surprise nor fear.
He raised his hand, ready to make a move.
But from high up in a building on the distant square, a cold snort suddenly echoed.
This snort, seemingly slow but actually fast, reached the ears of everyone present almost as soon as it sounded.
“To start a fight here, aren’t you behaving a bit too lawlessly? Do you not have the Holy Sect in your eyes?”
...
The flat tone was filled with endless authority and anger.
The team leader of the Jade Lion clan froze, his fierce face and body stiffening not because he was being rebuked, but because an invisible powerful force from afar had bound his movements and shape.
Even with the intervention of a Return to Void Great Divine Communicator from the Demon Sect, he still had no intention of backing down, his eyes wide with rage, “When they were killing our clansmen, no one from the Holy Sect made a move. Now that I seek revenge, I appear to be in the wrong?”
A voice of extreme indifference replied from within the building.
“Wasn’t it someone from your own clan who provoked the incident?”
“That was merely our… discovering our own people…”
He tried to say more.
But a voice filled with a fierce tone cut him off directly.
“Enough, Green Lion, are you not ashamed enough?”
In full view of everyone, a young man dressed in a purple and red floral-patterned tiger robe slowly stepped out.
His dark eyes glanced indifferently at Xu Yuan and his group, his face bearing a smile, “Impressive skills, sir. But even though I don’t know how you bewitched my follower and got involved with the Holy Sect, let me remind you that we, the Thunderfire Demon Tiger clan, are not to be trifled with.”
Xu Yuan replied with equal composure, “If it were your Tiger Lord speaking these words, perhaps I’d have some reservations. But as for you…”
He smiled faintly, not displaying any disdain, yet it was all disdain.
Tiger Lord?
Upon hearing his words, the countenance of this prodigy of the Thunderfire Demon Tiger clan changed slightly.
Who was this Tiger Lord?
He was a Return to Void Great Divine Communicator of their clan, a top existence among the Ten Saints of the demon race. And now, from Xu Yuan’s tone, it seemed as if he knew him, and even sparred with him.
The Thunderfire Demon Tiger clan’s prodigy scoffed, staring intently at Xu Yuan as if he wanted to spot lies on his face.
After a moment, he shook his head, his face serious, “It’s easy to talk big. Later, on the platform, I look forward to seeing your performance.”
With that, he waved his hand grandly, summoning the Green Lion back.
“And as for the several members of the Holy Sect, I will report the matter truthfully to our Tiger Lord.”
“Suit yourself,” came the calm reply from the communicator in the building.
It wasn’t just that they were ready to turn against them, even if that wasn’t the case, they wouldn’t fear the threats of a mere Nascent Soul.
“Hmph!”
The Thunderfire Demon Tiger clan’s prodigy left, taking with him his peculiar pride.
Xu Yuan snapped back to reality, looking at the now somewhat relaxed atmosphere in the arena, and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Thanks to the interruption, the tense atmosphere between them had eased slightly.
“It seems that our conflict with him later on is inevitable,” Liu Ruoxue said with a hint of sternness, the ancient sword in her arms trembling.
Lin Qingque glanced deeply at Mo Xianxian, the one who had first made a move, and remained silent.
Tian Liuli also kept her silence.
Silently, Xu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Even though most people hadn’t spoken, it was still better than the scene where they were about to come to blows just a moment ago.
“How is it, aren’t you grateful to me?” Mo Xianxian glanced at him playfully, her ambiguous voice transmitted stealthily.
Xu Yuan didn’t respond, but turned to An Yulan and said, “Sister, the platform battles are about to start. According to the rules, we need three platforms. Perhaps now is a good time to allocate our people.”
Allocate people?
An Yulan was taken aback.
Although the three of them had a close relationship, in reality, they were merely cooperating with each other.
At a certain point, they might even become a burden to one another.
Logically, they should each take their own followers to defend a platform,
So why was there now a need to rearrange their forces?
Could it be that he wanted her Primordial Spirit True Person?
This thought lasted only a brief moment before she dismissed it herself.
Putting aside whether he valued Mu Yi’s combat prowess, even if he wanted her, he would know that she was unlikely to comply.
Thus, the junior brother must have some other purpose.
And sure enough, she saw Xu Yuan pushing the Snow Wolf Clan young girl from behind him forward.
“Xue Lin, you go help Miss An defend the platform.”
“Ah?”
“Ah?”
Upon hearing this, both were stunned in place.
“Xu Yuan, you, you don’t want me anymore?” Xue Lin looked at him with tearful eyes.
As she spoke, An Yulan, who was about to speak, became unsure of what to say.
“You are my sister, how could I not want you?”
Enduring the subtly changing gazes of others, Xu Yuan mustered a smile and replied, his scalp tingling slightly.
“Sister? But we…”
Xue Lin fell silent, locking eyes with him for a long time before she seemed to finally grasp Xu Yuan’s intention.
Her tail drooped down, and she nodded, “Okay, I get it, brother.”
“Phew~”
Only when he noticed the previously cold looks from others had softened did Xu Yuan finally let out a breath of relief.
