"You are simply unreasonable!"
Changsun Changkong had come today intending to see Ye Kunlun make a fool of himself, but Ye Kunlun had dealt with every formidable expert who had challenged him.
He had originally thought to tidy up the mess himself, given his status and position, and had added a remark.
Unexpectedly, Ye Kunlun had shown him no respect at all, leaving him in an awkward and uncomfortable predicament.
"If this is how the ceremony is to be, then so be it!"
With that, Changsun Changkong turned and walked directly out of the branch alliance.
Ye Kunlun did not stop him. He had no intention of dealing with Changsun Changkong on such an occasion today.
Humiliating him and leaving him disgraced had achieved his objective.
"Feng Zhan, are you not going to make a move?" Ye Kunlun asked.
Feng Zhan snapped back to reality, "Your killing of Elder Zhou is something our War Department will naturally not let go of."
"Get lost!"
Ye Kunlun directly cursed, picked up a teacup, and hurled it at Feng Zhan's face.
Feng Zhan circulated his true energy, intending to catch the teacup Ye Kunlun had thrown, but found that his speed could not match the teacup's trajectory at all.
With a bang, the teacup struck him squarely on the forehead, causing him to bleed profusely!
Feng Zhan, one of the three generals of the East Sea War Department, was publicly struck and bled from the forehead by Ye Kunlun, likely to become a laughingstock in Kyoto.
Feng Zhan wished he could sever Ye Kunlun's head, drink his blood, and flay his skin!
But if he were to press the issue further, Ye Kunlun might just kill him.
Feng Zhan could only endure it for now.
Just then, a middle-aged man with a buzz cut appeared at the entrance. His suit was tailored to fit, revealing an explosive physique, marking him as a master.
Ma Guotao shivered upon seeing this person. The one he was waiting for had finally arrived.
Nan Yutie, standing beside him, also saw the man and, assisted by his disciples, hurried towards the entrance.
"Nan Yutie, an executive of the Kyoto Branch Alliance, pays his respects to Lord Jun!"
Upon hearing this, everyone realized that the esteemed figure from the Supreme Alliance headquarters had arrived.
It was truly a case of one trouble after another!
Ma Guotao, Sun Xuan, and the numerous disciples of the branch alliance all followed Nan Yutie and knelt to pay their respects.
"Enough, rise. Today is a grand day for your branch alliance; do not remain kneeling!"
Jun Xinglan gently lifted his hands, and all those who were kneeling felt a soft force lift them up.
Everyone was awestruck by Jun Xinglan's power.
"Can your body still hold up?"
Jun Xinglan stepped forward and placed his hand on Nan Yutie's pulse. His brows furrowed. "How did you get so badly injured?"
"Cough, cough, the north is not peaceful, and it's more serious than I imagined," Nan Yutie coughed a couple more times. "My body might not last much longer; Lord Jun, please don't waste your spiritual energy."
Jun Xinglan replied, "Take good care of yourself."
Saying this, Jun Xinglan knitted his brows. The scene was in disarray, and a bloody smell permeated the air.
It was clear that a fierce battle had just taken place here.
"What happened?" Jun Xinglan asked with a frown. "Today is the Kyoto Branch Alliance's observation ceremony. Could someone have caused trouble here?"
Just as Nan Yutie was about to speak, Ma Guotao behind him interjected, "Lord Jun, you may not know, but someone did indeed cause trouble at the branch alliance, completely disregarding us!"
Nan Yutie quickly defended Ye Kunlun, "Lord Jun, it was just a misunderstanding, and the misunderstanding has now been resolved."
"Director Nan, even if it was a misunderstanding, one shouldn't be so presumptuous within our branch alliance, should they?"
Ma Guotao pressed on, continuing to address Jun Xinglan, "I request Lord Jun to uphold justice and restore the honor of our Supreme Alliance!"
A hint of coldness appeared on Jun Xinglan's face.
Just as Ma Guotao said, regardless of whether it was a misunderstanding or not, the dignity of the Supreme Alliance could not be challenged!
"Lord Jun..."
Nan Yutie still wanted to say something.
"Director Nan, no matter who it is, daring to cause trouble at the Supreme Alliance is an act of defiance towards the Supreme Alliance," Jun Xinglan's tone turned colder. "Do I need to teach you this simple principle?"
Nan Yutie sighed inwardly and replied, "I dare not."
"Who is it that caused trouble at the Supreme Alliance's branch alliance?"
Jun Xinglan asked, looking at Ma Guotao.
"Lord Jun, it's this person!"
Ma Guotao pointed at Ye Kunlun, who had his back to Jun Xinglan and was speaking softly with Tang Zhuozhuo.
Jun Xinglan gazed at Ye Kunlun's back, his brow furrowed slightly.
"Lord Jun, as you can see, all the guests are showing you utmost respect, yet he and Miss Tang from the Tang family are being so disrespectful to you!"
Just as Ma Guotao had said.
All the guests had stood up to welcome Jun Xinglan, but only Ye Kunlun and Tang Zhuozhuo remained seated, speaking in hushed tones.
A fierce glint flashed in Ma Guotao's eyes. No matter how powerful Ye Kunlun was, he couldn't possibly be a match for Lord Jun of the Supreme Alliance.
Feng Zhan also felt a slight sense of relief.
Jun Xinglan walked towards Ye Kunlun, who had his back turned to him, and said sternly, "Boy, are you the one causing trouble at the Supreme Alliance branch alliance?"
Tang Zhuozhuo watched Ye Kunlun with a hint of nervousness, unsure of his intentions.
Even she, as a member of the Tang family, could not be too presumptuous with someone from the Supreme Alliance headquarters.
"Oh, it's me."
Ye Kunlun replied indifferently and turned around, looking at Jun Xinglan approaching him.
"You..."
Just as Jun Xinglan was about to reprimand him, he saw Ye Kunlun turn around and swallowed the words he was about to utter.
Jun Xinglan's eyes widened, as if he had seen something terrifying.
Three years ago, the elusive Supreme Master of the Supreme Alliance had returned to the Supreme Alliance once.
He had been accompanied by a boy of sixteen or seventeen, who was the Supreme Master's only closed-door disciple.
And Jun Xinglan, as one of the Four Emissaries of Heaven, Earth, Sun, and Moon of the Supreme Alliance, held a significant position and had naturally met Ye Kunlun.
As the Supreme Master's only closed-door disciple, all the high-ranking officials of the Supreme Alliance remembered Ye Kunlun's appearance.
Three years had passed, and although Ye Kunlun had emerged from adolescence, his appearance had not changed significantly from three years ago. On the contrary, the sharp aura he possessed had vanished without a trace.
In Jun Xinglan's eyes, he looked like an ordinary person!
Even so, Jun Xinglan dared not show Ye Kunlun any disrespect.
As one of the high-ranking officials of the Supreme Alliance, he knew just how terrifying the Supreme Master was.
From the first day they joined the Supreme Alliance, they had sworn to obey the Supreme Master unconditionally and never betray him for all eternity!
They knew all too well that from the day Ye Kunlun appeared at the Supreme Alliance three years ago, he was the new Supreme Master!
"Ye Kunlun, you see Lord Jun of the Supreme Alliance and you're not quickly kneeling to pay your respects?!"
Ma Guotao's eyes showed a hint of doubt. Ye Kunlun's calm demeanor seemed to him to be a result of being scared witless by Jun Xinglan.
*Slap—*
Jun Xinglan turned and slapped Ma Guotao across the face, sending him flying.
*Thump—*
To everyone's shocked gaze, Jun Xinglan actually knelt before Ye Kunlun.
"Star Emissary Jun Xinglan pays his respects to the Supreme Master!"
