Ye Qingsu, Zhao Mu, and Wei Zhuang sneered as they approached the Lan father and daughter.

"Xia Xinghe and that mysterious expert at the fourth level of Celestial Phenomenon Mirror should be inside the ancestral hall, right?" Ye Qingsu sneered. As his voice fell, he should be standing in front of his parents, "The Lan family is on the verge of destruction, is that mysterious expert still not going to make his move?"

Lan Yi and Lan Tong looked at each other. They could see the determination to die in each other's eyes.

The Lan father and daughter had never seen the so-called expert at the fourth level of the Celestial Phenomenon Mirror. They were unsure whether he would lend a hand or not.

In actuality, the fourth-level ascendant didn't exist at all, it was merely a hidden move played by Xia Xinghe. Of course, only Xia Xinghe knew of this, even Chu Qingcheng didn't know of it.

Seeing the Lan father and daughter remaining silent, Xue Long, who was arrogantly standing in the courtyard, lost his patience. He shouted repeatedly at Ye Qingsu, "Attack, kill them!"

"Alright!" Ye Qingsu replied to Xue Long. He then slowly raised his palm. With Ye Qingsu's cultivation, once this palm strike landed, the Lan father and daughter would undoubtedly die.

But just at that time, a sharp cry suddenly rang out from the entrance of the ancestral hall.

Creak.

The door was pushed open.

Everyone subconsciously looked at the door that had been pushed open from the inside of the ancestral hall.

Only to see Chu Qingcheng, clad in snow-white robes, stepping out of the ancestral hall with one hand holding her sword while pointing the tip of her sword towards the ground.

"Your Highness, why are you here?" Xue Long was slightly astonished.

Xue Long would never have thought that Chu Qingcheng would be in the Lan Clan. And judging from her appearance, she seemed to want to protect Xia Xingchen?

The three of them looked at each other, and the three of them could see the astonishment in each other's eyes.

"Instructor Xue, the 'princess' you spoke of, could it be that she's the eldest princess of our Chu Country, the only female out of the five great Heaven Chosen of our Chu Country?" Ye Qingsu asked tentatively.

Xue Long did not respond, only heavily nodding his head.

After receiving Xue Long's affirmation, the three people of Ye Qingsu's group were greatly alarmed and subconsciously took a few steps back. They were in a dilemma.

On one side was the TianChu Martial Academy, and on the other was the Grand Princess of Chu. Whether it was Xue Long or Chu Qingcheng, both of them were powerful existences that the three of them did not dare to offend.

However, after a moment of thought, the three of them exchanged a look. The look in their eyes was very fierce, and it once again appeared in the depths of their eyes.

If the three of them retreated now, Xue Long would definitely slaughter all three families as soon as possible!

As for Chu Qingcheng, she would let Xue Long handle her. In any case, Ye Qingsu and the other two had heard of the conflict between Chu Qingcheng and the TianChu Martial Academy.

As for Fang Ruyu, she was initially stunned by Chu Qingcheng's devastatingly beautiful countenance and peerless aura. But very quickly, her gaze passed through the opened door and landed on Xia Xinghe who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.

At that moment, Fang Ruyu's beautiful eyes immediately turned crimson. If she hadn't heard of the legend of Chu Qingcheng, she would have already rushed into the ancestral hall and skinned Xia Xinghe alive!

Chu Qingcheng slowly walked in front of the Lan father and daughter. With a slight tremble of her wrist, her flexible sword drew a flower of sword flowers in the air like a snake. "Instructor Xue, are you trying to exterminate the Xue Clan?"

"Your Highness has misunderstood." Xue Long said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, "The reason I came this time was to support the entrance examination of the TianChu Martial Academy. I only heard that the Xue Clan had hidden the TianChu Martial Academy's enemy, Xia Xinghe, and came to kill Xia Xinghe."

"Since when did Xia Xing become the enemy of the TianChu Martial Academy?" How come I didn't know? " Chu Qingcheng coldly smiled.

"Fang Ruyu is the newly accepted disciple of the He Courtyard. After Fang Ruyu entered the TianChu Martial Academy, Xia Xinghe had actually mercilessly slaughtered dozens of members of the Fang family. He clearly doesn't put the TianChu Martial Academy in his eyes. Xue Long's words were said with righteousness, he didn't even hesitate to bring up He Kunlun to deal with Chu Qingcheng.

"What if I want to protect the summer stars?" Chu Qingcheng remained unmoved. On the contrary, her words were filled with a strong sense of confidence.

Chu Qingcheng's toughness and confidence caused Xue Long to be stunned once again. However, the experienced Xue Long quickly regained his calm and spoke to Chu Qingcheng, "Xia Xinghe is already at death's door. If the princess tries to protect Xia Xinghe, I can only do my best to delay her and allow the others to kill Xia Xinghe."

Chu Qingcheng was unyielding, but Xue Long was even more unyielding. He didn't seem to care too much about Chu Qingcheng's status as the Eldest Princess. He only maintained a perfunctory attitude of respect on the surface.

"It seems that there is no need to continue the discussion." A sullen expression appeared on Chu Qingcheng's breathtakingly beautiful face. She raised her lily-white arms as she pointed her sword at Xue Long.

"Princess, do you really want to fight with me?" Not only did Xue Long have no intention to retreat, his words even contained a hint of ridicule. "If I remember correctly, the Princess' cultivation should only be at the third level of the Celestial Phenomenon Mirror, right?"

To the younger generation of Chu Country, Chu Qingcheng's talent and cultivation base was ranked within the top five, or even the top three. She was a monstrous genius!

Yet, Xue Long had actually used the phrase 'only' in such a sarcastic manner. He had truly underestimated Chu Qingcheng.

However, aside from Xue Long, the gazes of the others were filled with complicated emotions as they stared at Chu Qingcheng …

The youths on the side of the TianChu Martial Academy were filled with jealousy and envy, while Ye Qingsu and the other three veteran experts were left with nothing to live for.

Chu Qingcheng wasn't good with words, she had no intentions to engage in a war of words with Xue Long. However, that fellow in the ancestral hall wouldn't let off someone who dared to insult her!

"Xue Long, right?" Xia Xinghe sat cross-legged, not even lifting his eyelids as he calmly said, "I know, you all want me to die. How about this, as long as you can receive one of Lady Chu's strikes without collapsing, I will immediately commit suicide."
