Chapter 49 Refusal

  "You, Xuan Tianba, don't be too excessive." The Heavenly King said with an angry expression.

  "Tian Wang, don't force me to lose my temper. This girl is mine now. If the Tian family has any dissatisfaction, feel free to come at me. I, Xuan Tian Ba, will take it head-on."

  "Hey Tianba, don't get angry, calm down." Zheng Qintian and the others saw a hint of gunpowder smell in the scene and immediately became good people.

  "If you're not capable, then don't come out and make a fool of yourself." The usually silent Xue Xiao suddenly spoke up.

  The King of Heaven heard the words "Blood Laughter" and his anger could no longer be controlled, he directly shouted at Blood Laughter: "Old Man Blood, what business is it of yours to interfere with my affairs? Are you looking for a declaration of war?"

  "Declare war if you must, does that mean my Blood Clan is afraid of your Tian Clan?" Blood laughed coldly in response.

  "That's enough, I don't care if you're from the Blood Clan or the Heaven Clan. If you two want to declare war on each other, just don't break the rules. And if anyone breaks the rules, don't blame me for being ruthless." Xuan Tian Ba's voice echoed in the grand hall, causing Blood Smile and Tian Wang, who were about to engage in battle, to stop all movement.

  "Everyone, I bid you farewell." The Heavenly King casually nodded his hand and left the Yu Family Grand Hall.

  "Big Brother Tianba, I still have some unfinished business at home, so I'll take my leave first. If you're free anytime, please come visit me at the Zheng residence, and I'll personally welcome your esteemed presence."

  "Alright."

  "Big Brother Tianba, I also have some unfinished business at home, so I'll take my leave first."

  As Zheng Qintian left, Xue Leng and others also bid farewell one after another. Originally, their purpose for coming had been achieved, and it was impossible to stay here and have fun at this moment.

  Yu Zong saw the scene, received Xuan Tian Ba's indicative gaze, and waved his hand to the younger generation in the great hall: "You all retreat first, Yu Xiong, Yu Yan, you two stay."

  "Yes, Ancestor." A uniform response echoed in the grand hall, and the next moment, only five people were left in the spacious grand hall.

  Xuantian saw Yu Zong's tightly furrowed brow and smiled, saying: "Yu Xiaozi, don't worry, I'll make good on my words anytime. If that old Tian Wang dares to move against your Yu family, I'll help you wipe out his entire Tian clan."

  Overbearing, this is how overbearing it is. Looking at the entire Martial Continent, who dares to speak so wildly about destroying the first of the five great families? Yet, Xuan Tian Ba dares to utter such words, and still does so in front of the Tian family members. It's clear what kind of power they possess!

  "Thank you, benefactor." Yu Zong bowed deeply and respectfully. Logically speaking, someone of his status shouldn't be bowing to anyone, but that depends on who it is. When facing a being like Xuan Tian Ba, who is almost divine, even bowing is subject to their approval; otherwise, they might not even grant him the qualification to do so.

  "Yu Xiong, Yu Yan, you two come quickly to pay respects to our benefactor of the Yu family."

  "Yes, ancestors."

  "The junior's words are brave and beautiful, paying respects to a benefactor."

  "It's all right, it's all right." Xuan Tian Ba casually waved his hand and supported Yu Xiong and Yu Yan who were about to kneel down.

  "Yu Xiaozi, I'll get straight to the point, this time I've come to take the Linghuo of your family."

  "Ling fire?" Yu Zong heard Xuan Tian Ba's words, his expression changed slightly, and the next moment he responded without hesitation: "No problem, how much ling fire does the benefactor need?"

  The reason why the Yu family became a noble family is that they are all descendants of divine beasts. The second reason is that there is a top-grade spiritual fire in the Beast God Mountain, and this spiritual fire is said to be the incarnation of their ancestor's divine beast Phoenix after its fall. Therefore, this spiritual fire is extremely precious. For those who cultivate fire-attribute skills, staying in the spiritual fire for cultivation can double the success rate, which is extremely precious.

  "Unknown."

  "Ah!" Zi Cong's expression changed again, his face rapidly changing several times before he gritted his teeth and said: "As long as my benefactor needs it, even if it means exhausting the entire Linghuo of the Zi family, I am willing."

  "Haha! Xiaozi, you can rest assured that if I use up all the spiritual fire of your family this time, I, Xuantian Ba, guarantee that I will ensure the safety of your family for ten thousand years. Moreover, I will help you find a place with spiritual fire for your family to use."

  With a thud! Yu Zong directly knelt down on both knees and said with an excited expression: "Thank you, benefactor."

  "Ten thousand years of safety", if someone else said this, the Yu family would definitely be disdainful, including the ancestors of the Heavenly Family. However, when these words came out of Xuan Tian Ba's mouth, he had no choice but to believe them. Moreover, after ten thousand years, even if the Yu family was in a difficult situation, they could at least improve their strength by a large margin. Furthermore, Xuan Tian Ba also promised to help the Yu family find the Ling Huo mountain range for cultivation. If the Yu family's strength did not improve with this assistance, then they would have no reason to exist.

  Xuantian waved his hand and lifted Yuzong, who was kneeling on the ground, and smiled: "This matter still needs your help, Yu family."

  Yu Zong's facial expression changed slightly, his eyes glanced at Yu Yan, the latter saw that her old ancestor was looking at herself, and her heart skipped a beat because she knew what her old ancestor's gaze meant. After thinking for a moment, she nodded shyly.

  "It's settled." Yu Zong saw his own descendants nodding, and a hint of excitement flashed across his old face. He hastily replied to Xuan Tianba, "Benefactor, no problem."

  "En." Xuan Tian Ba's face wore a smile as he nodded and said: "Tomorrow."

  "Disciple is here." Zhang Huaming heard Xuan Tianba call himself and hastily stepped forward.

  "Tomorrow, I'll help you arrange this marriage, what do you think?"

  "Marriage?" Zhang Huaming had been thinking about Yu Xuan since he entered the main hall, so he hadn't heard his master's conversation with Yu Zong earlier. He was suddenly brought back to reality by his master's words and asked in confusion: "Whose marriage is it between me and who?"

  "What about you?" Xuan Tianba asked with a playful expression on his face. As the elder, with his cultivation, Zhang Huaming's every move in the great hall would not have escaped his divine consciousness. He naturally also knew that his foolish disciple had already fallen into emotional turmoil. If so, as his master, would he let his disciple suffer from emotional tribulations? The answer was definitely no.

  "Master, I disagree."

  "What? What?" Xuan Tianba and others never expected that Zhang Huaming would actually refuse at this moment, what is going on? In fact, the most embarrassed person in the scene was Yu Yan herself.

  "Why? Was it just a noble act when he risked his life to save me back then?" Yu Yan thought to herself.

  "Master, marriage is a big deal that requires mutual consent from both parties. I do like Miss Yu Yan, but this is too sudden. I've only met her once and we don't know each other well at all. If we get married like this, what if Miss Yu Yan regrets it someday? Wouldn't that be harming her for the rest of her life? So please, Master, don't interfere with this matter."

  "Grandma, what a wonderful theory! Since ancient times, marriage has always been decided by the elders. You little brat, do you know that if you were to marry this girl, your chances of building the Fire Pulse would greatly increase? Otherwise, if you want to build the Fire Pulse on your own, you will have to endure immense pain!"

  Yu Zong saw the awkward scene and hastily mediated: "Benefactor, since your young apprentice has said so, we shouldn't be in a hurry either. There's still plenty of time, let them young people get to know each other themselves, what do you think?"

  "Living with you, you're such a stubborn kid, grandma's... it's infuriating! I went to great lengths to drive that old Tian Wang away, but fine, I won't force you. If within a month your cultivation can reach the High-Rank Martial Emperor, then from now on I'll mind my own business and not interfere with yours. But if you can't, then from now on you'd better listen to me and do as I say! How about it?" Xuan Tianba gazed at Zhang Huaming with a serious expression.

  Astonishing, shocking! The three of the Yu Sect were shocked when they heard Xuan Tian Ba's words. They were all shocked, especially Yu Zong, who was even more shocked because he could see Zhang Hua Ming's true strength and cultivation realm. To advance two small stages in just one month? What concept is this? It must be known that the higher the cultivation, the harder it is to advance to the next stage. For example, a martial god cultivator would need hundreds of years to advance from the initial stage to the intermediate stage. Although Zhang Hua Ming was currently at the Wu Zun cultivation level, if he were to cultivate normally, advancing from the initial stage to the advanced stage would take at least a hundred years, even with an abundance of spiritual energy and the constant consumption of spiritual pills and medicines. It would take at least several years! How could it be possible for him to achieve this in just one month? But Zhang Hua Ming's next words shocked the three members of the Yu Sect once again.
