Chapter 117: Kill Anyone You Cannot Stand

“Surely you have nothing left to say now?” Jiang Yuan said with a playful smile.

Yun Bei stared at Jiang Yuan in astonishment. It was clear that the center of attention among this group was the man speaking to him now.

“Who exactly are you? Do you even know where this is? This is the territory of the Celestial Clan. How dare you offend us?” Backed by the Celestial Clan, Yun Bei spoke with confidence.

“There’s no such thing as daring or not daring. I have come here precisely to cause trouble for your Celestial Clan,” Jiang Yuan said calmly.

“‘I’? Are you the Human Emperor?” Yun Bei immediately guessed Jiang Yuan’s identity.

Jiang Yuan waved his hand and did not answer the question further.

“Let’s settle this with a fight.”

After saying this, Jiang Yuan glanced at Nezha.

Nezha immediately caught on.

Without a word, he charged straight at Yun Bei. The Celestial Clan’s foundation was indeed formidable; anyone casually encountered was at the True Immortal realm.

But the outcome of a fight between him and Nezha was hardly in doubt. Not only was Nezha’s cultivation level slightly higher than Yun Bei’s, but he had also reached the pinnacle of True Immortal.

Even if Yun Bei were on equal footing with Nezha, he likely wouldn’t be Nezha’s match.

After all, Nezha was no ordinary prodigy; he was seasoned in combat. Without some skill, no one could easily defeat him.

Nezha wielded his fiery spear in a sweeping motion. Yun Bei was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground.

Before he could get up, one of the Wind-Fire Wheels beneath Nezha’s feet detached and slammed heavily onto Yun Bei.

At that, Nezha lost all desire to continue fighting.

This opponent was too weak to ignite even a spark of his fighting spirit.

Yun Bei was captured without any resistance, which left Nezha somewhat dissatisfied. He had come because he heard the Celestial Clan was powerful.

If this was all, he might as well have stayed back in Chaoge to spar with Yin Jiao!

Jiang Yuan walked over to Nezha, smiling as he ruffled his hair lightly. “Don’t be impatient. This is just the beginning. The real excitement is yet to come.”

“Oh,” Nezha pouted, still a bit displeased.

Jiang Yuan looked down at the thoroughly defeated Yun Bei.

Character: Yun Bei

Title: Son of the Eighth Elder of the Celestial Clan

Realm: True Immortal

Possession: Purple Thunder Frost Condensing Sword

Cultivation Method: Golden Wing Treasure Record

Mount: Poison-scaled Tiger Dragon

Loyalty: 00

Favorability: 00

Potential Tyrant Value: 150

True Immortals in the Celestial Clan were not so common after all. Yun Bei, being the son of the Eighth Elder, held some status within the clan.

“Ask whatever you want,” Jiang Yuan said, smiling at Yun Bei.

“Are you really the Human Emperor?” Yun Bei was blunt. He didn’t believe anyone would dare kill him at the gates of the Celestial Clan.

“Who else do you think could carry such an imposing aura and call himself ‘I’ but the Celestial Emperor?” Jiang Yuan scoffed.

“...” Yun Bei was speechless. This guy was far too confident.

To be fair, the Human Emperors of ancient times could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Celestial Emperor, but the current Human Emperor was not qualified.

At best, he was a mortal with the fortune of the Human Emperor.

“What brings you to the Celestial Clan?” Yun Bei asked, curious.

“Didn’t I just say? I came to stir up trouble for the Celestial Clan,” Jiang Yuan replied coldly.

Yun Bei felt there was no point in talking to this guy. He kept dodging the real question.

Even if he came to cause trouble, there must be a reason, right?

Could it be just a whim to provoke the Celestial Clan? Who would be so foolish?

“Where is your Celestial Clan’s Peach Mountain?” Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow.

Yun Bei was taken aback by the sudden question.

Then he noticed Yang Jian standing behind Jiang Yuan. Yang Jian’s three-eyed feature was unmistakable.

Suddenly, Yun Bei understood their purpose.

“You’re here to rescue the Third Princess?” Yun Bei asked.

Jiang Yuan was taken aback and turned to Yang Jian. “Your mother is the Third Princess of the Celestial Clan?”

Yang Jian shook his head in confusion. “She was taken by the Celestial Clan shortly after I was born. She never had the chance to tell me any of this.”

“If you’re trying to save that traitor who consorted with mortals, then it must be the Third Princess,” Yun Bei sneered.

This enraged Yang Jian. The veins on his forehead bulged as he pointed his triple-edged blade at Yun Bei. “My mother is not a traitor! She has done nothing to betray the Celestial Clan!”

Yun Bei only laughed mockingly. “If your mother wasn’t a traitor, then why would the Celestial Emperor imprison his own daughter?”

Without hesitation, Yang Jian kicked Yun Bei away.

“Say that again if you dare!” Yang Jian’s aura brimmed with killing intent.

But Yun Bei was not intimidated. He sneered back, “What are you going to do? Kill me? Your mother is a traitor! If you can, come and kill me!”

“If you kill me today, you’ll never rescue your mother, nor leave the Celestial Clan unscathed!” Yun Bei warned.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Nezha flew up and kicked him again.

“Stop spouting nonsense! Do you think whether I leave the Celestial Clan is up to you?” Nezha scoffed.

Yun Bei had learned his lesson and remained silent this time, only letting out a cold laugh.

Every time he spoke, he got kicked.

Even staying silent didn’t help; Nezha kicked him once more.

“Do you think silence will help? What a fool!” Nezha said mercilessly.

Yun Bei closed his eyes, helpless against this unreasonable brute.

“Closing your eyes won’t help either!” Nezha didn’t hesitate to give him a third kick.

“...” Yun Bei’s composure shattered.

“What exactly do you want? Why not just kill me now?” Yun Bei said, his remaining pride still burning. No Celestial Clan member could bear such humiliation.

Seeing Yun Bei so furious, Nezha finally smiled with satisfaction. “I don’t want anything. I just can’t stand your arrogant attitude from earlier.”

“I can’t stand anyone more arrogant than me, and I’m just helping the three-eyed one vent. You’re really annoying.”

Yang Jian looked at Nezha with some gratitude. Though a bit dim, Nezha was loyal to his comrades.

At that moment, Jiang Yuan stepped over to Yang Jian and asked, “Want to kill him?”

Yang Jian nodded decisively but hesitated to act. He didn’t know what the leader’s plan was for rescuing his mother.

If he acted rashly and ruined the plan, it would be his fault.

If the leader intended to negotiate peacefully with the Celestial Clan, killing Yun Bei now would ruin everything.

Jiang Yuan saw Yang Jian’s hesitation and patted his shoulder with a smile. “Don’t worry. If you can’t stand him, just kill him.”

“I told you, I came here to cause trouble for the Celestial Clan.”

Yang Jian silently nodded and slowly approached Yun Bei, his triple-edged blade in hand.

“You... what are you doing? Don’t you want to save your mother?” Yun Bei said, fear creeping into his voice.

This time, he truly felt his life was in danger.

He hadn’t expected the Human Emperor to actually allow someone to kill him!
