"Bear Ancestor, itās been a while! Come, quickly, letās have a few drinks!" The Tiger Ancestor laughed heartily, waving to the approaching Bear Ancestor.
Bear Ancestor quickened his pace, arriving at the stone table.
"I wonder... who might this fellow Daoist be?" Bear Ancestor asked doubtfully.
He sized up the green-robed man and found that this personās cultivation base was comparable to his own, but an eerie demonic aura emanated from him, which greatly startled him.
The Demon Clan... When did so many Eternal Realm experts appear? First, there was that terrifying white-robed youth. Now, inside Tiger Ancestorās cave dwelling, thereās another Eternal Realm green-robed man. Where did they all come from?
"Let me introduce you. Bear Ancestor, this is Brother Demon Dragon..." With his thick brows animated, Tiger Ancestor laughed boisterously and picked up the wine jug to pour Bear Ancestor a cup.
Demon Dragon? A Dragon Clan bloodline?
Hearing this name, Bear Ancestor was startled.
Throughout the world, only the Seven Stars Clanspeople possessed the Dragon Clan Bloodline. Where did this Brother Demon Dragon come from?
Just as Bear Ancestor was lost in thought.
"Haha..." The green-robed man suddenly stood up, raised his wine cup, and said with a grin, "Bear Ancestor, our meeting is fate. Come, letās drink to it!"
"Cheers!"
Bear Ancestor hastily raised his wine cup. The three of them clinked their cups together and drained them in one gulp.
After drinking this cup of wine, the alcohol took effect, and the anger in Bear Ancestorās heart flared up once more. He sighed softly.
"Bear Ancestor, why the sigh?" the green-robed man asked with a laugh.
"I just encountered a detestable fellow. I was no match for him; defeated in one move!" said the deeply frustrated Bear Ancestor, smacking his thigh. In the presence of two powerful experts, he naturally didnāt want to make himself sound too weak.
"The audacity! Who dared to lay a hand on you, the esteemed Bear Ancestor? Was it the Eight God Sect or the Seven Star Clan?" Tiger Ancestor asked, his eyes wide with annoyance.
"I donāt know where that fellow came from, but heās also from the Demon Clan, and his strength is extremely formidable!" Bear Ancestor said through gritted teeth.
Another member of the Demon Clan, eh...
Tiger Ancestor mused.
To his knowledge, there werenāt many Demon Clan cultivators in this world who could reach the Eternal Realm. If even Bear Ancestor didnāt know him, then he certainly wouldnāt either.
"Letās drink first!" The green-robed man filled his cup to the brim, then raised it again.
"Alright..." Tiger Ancestor and Bear Ancestor promptly lifted their cups, and the three of them began to drink heavily again.
After several rounds of drinking, Bear Ancestor was still dispirited, sighing constantly.
"Bear Ancestor, have a few more drinks, then Iāll help you get your honor back!" Tiger Ancestor suddenly said.
"Tiger Ancestor, are you really willing to help me?" Bear Ancestorās eyes lit up.
"What nonsense are you spouting? We Nine Great Demon Ancestors are like brothers, bound by common ties! If youāre bullied, of course, I have to step in and teach that person a lesson!" Tiger Ancestor said dismissively.
"Haha... Tiger Ancestor, this is a minor matter. Why trouble yourself? Iāve been recuperating with your Nine Li Demon Clan for so long that my bones are itching for some action. Why donāt I step in and teach that fellow a lesson? Wouldnāt that be splendid?!" The green-robed man set down his wine glass and laughed arrogantly.
"Brother Demon Dragon, your strength is exceedingly great. If you personally take action, that person will definitely be beaten senseless!" Tiger Ancestor said with a hearty laugh.
"Tiger Ancestor, Brother Demon Dragon is also only at the First Level of the Eternal Realm; his cultivation is about the same as mine..." Bear Ancestor said with a mournful face.
In his heart, unless someone was above the Third Level of the Eternal Realm, they would be no match for that white-robed youth.
"Bear Ancestor, are you looking down on me?" the green-robed man asked coldly, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"I didnāt mean that. Itās just that this guy is very formidable, and Iām afraid Brother Demon Dragon might get hurt needlessly..." Bear Ancestor said with a somewhat helpless, wry smile, spreading his hands.
"Bear Ancestor, you can rest assured about that. Brother Demon Dragon and I got to know each other through fighting; even I may not be able to defeat him. You can imagine how powerful he is!" Tiger Ancestor said, patting Bear Ancestor on the shoulder with his large hand and chuckling.
"That powerful?" Bear Ancestor was astonished and quickly took a closer look at the green-robed man, his eyes filled with shock.
"After this cup of wine, weāre going to avenge you!" the green-robed man declared with a hearty laugh, his imposing aura surging powerfully, as if piercing the heavens. He raised his cup and drained it.
"Cheers!" Tiger Ancestor and Bear Ancestor also drained their cups.
The three of them stood up, left the cave dwelling, and headed straight for the valley of the Golden Bear Clan.
ćAt this moment, in the valley.ć
The Clan Leader of the Golden Bear Clan, Jin Sanās father, had completely awakened.
Jin Xiaotian sat up abruptly from the stone bed, touched himself all over, then looked at Jin San with a surprised expression and asked, "Sanāer! What kind of miraculous elixir did you give me? How have all the injuries on my body healed?"
"Father, it was this Senior who saved you..." Jin San responded excitedly, looking at his fully recovered father.
"Senior?"
Jin Xiaotian immediately looked towards the three strangers nearby, and his gaze immediately fell on Ye Yun, who possessed an extraordinary bearing. Ye Yunās cultivation was the highest among the three, already at the Fifth Level of the Life and Death Realm.
Jin Xiaotian hastily scrambled off the stone bed, bowed deeply, and said with emotion, "Thank you, fellow Daoist!"
"Father, you must address him as Senior. This Senior just drove off Bear Ancestor..." Jin San transmitted quietly.
"What? He drove off Bear Ancestor?" Jin Xiaotian was shocked, his entire body trembling violently.
This white-robed youth is definitely not in the Life and Death Realm; he must be an Eternal Realm expert!
"Senior, thank you for your help! On behalf of the Golden Bear Clan, I will forever remember your immense kindness!" Jin Xiaotian exclaimed excitedly, kneeling on the ground.
"Get up!" Ye Yun smiled faintly, and a stream of Mana flowed from his fingertip, lifting Jin Xiaotian.
"Jin San, that white-clothed fellow you brought back, get your arse out here! Iām here for revenge!"
A booming voice, like rolling thunder, descended from mid-air. The speaker was Bear Ancestor.
The faces of Jin San and his father inside the stone house changed drastically.
"Senior, Bear Ancestor must have brought other Demon Ancestors with him! You absolutely mustnāt go out! Let me deal with them!" Jin Xiaotian quickly said, then made to go outside.
"No matter. Letās see what reinforcements heās brought..." Ye Yun smiled slightly and was the first to walk out of the stone house. The others followed.
Three powerful figures hovered in the void above the valley. One of them was Bear Ancestor.
Ye Yun hadnāt seen the other two, but he recognized the green-robed man with a single glance; this was the Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon from the Deep Well of Ghastly Corpse.
As he looked down at the familiar white figure below, an immense wave of terror washed over the Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon. His heart pounded, his body instantly began to tremble, and his throat constricted, rendering him speechless.
Am I seeing things? Senior... he... how is he here too?
He was, of course, acutely aware of how powerful this Senior was.
"Bear Ancestor, is that the fellow in white down there?" Tiger Ancestor asked casually, pointing downwards with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes! Thatās him!" Looking at Ye Yun, flames of fury blazed in Bear Ancestorās eyes.
"Brother Demon Dragon, I implore you to act and teach this person a harsh lesson!" Bear Ancestor clasped his fists, turned to the Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon, and said expectantly.
However, Bear Ancestor was shocked to see that Brother Demon Dragon was now trembling slightly, a look of terror in his eyes.
