For a moment, everyone was somewhat anxious, especially the few hot-tempered elders.
"Hmph! How dare he damage the hundred-year foundation of my Sacred Altar? This brat must be cut into a thousand pieces today!"
"A thousand pieces would be too good for him; he deserves to be devoured by ten thousand ants! My newly studied soul-refining technique seems perfectly suited for this brat!"
In a flash, as the elders surrounded Su Han, ready to strike!
Just then, an old man, looking vigorous and spirited, walked in through the doorway.
"Stop!"
The newcomer was Gu Changhe. As expected, he was called by Gu Chen. Gu Chen had been present earlier and was worried about whether to inform the elder to save Bai Li Qin Yin. But upon seeing Su Han's arrival, he thought the matter could be easily resolved.
Little did he expect that this brat Su Han would cause even greater trouble!
Without hesitation, Gu Chen immediately went to find Elder Gu Changhe...
At this moment, Gu Changhe surveyed the scene, his head throbbing!
Killing three to five guardians might be understandable, but the destruction of the pavilion in the backyard was a grave offense.
However, Gu Changhe still showed no intention of punishing Su Han!
He chuckled and said, "Everyone present, I forgot to tell you all a piece of news. I have recently taken in a final disciple, who is exceptionally skilled and possesses extraordinary talent, truly a dragon among men! That young man is here. You all can assess his aptitude and see how he fares?"
Saying this, Gu Changhe pointed directly at Su Han, his meaning unmistakable: this brat is one of mine, so you'd best not lay a hand on him!
The elders present, who were already furious, could only suppress their anger upon seeing Elder Gu arrive. After all, Elder Gu's strength was undeniable; they could disrespect anyone, but not Elder Gu.
However, upon seeing Su Han's talent, their eyes blazed with fury!
"This... is impossible. This brat is only twenty years old. If this is not faked, having Imperial-level strength would already be considered exceptionally rare. But as I see it now, this brat possesses at least late-stage Emperor realm strength..."
"Late-stage Emperor realm? The guardians he eliminated were all peak Emperor realm powerhouses, along with seven or eight inner sect elders at the late-stage Emperor realm. And he collapsed the pavilion? You say he's late-stage Emperor realm?"
"Then... peak Emperor realm?"
"Yes. Considering his age of twenty, I truly cannot imagine how he cultivated to such terrifying strength!"
"In my opinion, this brat is likely all show. Look at the terrifying patterns on him; I don't believe this brat is stronger than me?"
"Indeed. Even you and I are not as powerful as the runes on him. How is this possible?"
At this moment, Elder Gu looked at them and chuckled, then shook his head.
He disdainfully said, "You old fools, quickly go aside. How could you possibly comprehend my beloved disciple? Within ten years, this brat will likely surpass all of you in strength! Moreover, today, he was saving a beauty. Isn't that justifiable!"
Upon hearing this, the elders present were stunned!
Elder Gu's words were naturally true, but they truly didn't believe this brat could surpass them within ten years!
After all, these elders had cultivated for hundreds or even thousands of years, and had utilized astronomical resources to achieve their current status.
To say that Su Han before them could catch up to them within ten years was something they would never believe, even if they were to die!
"Hmph! Gu Changhe, so what if he's your disciple? The prince who breaks the law is punished the same as a commoner. Are you going to show favoritism to this brat!"
"Exactly. If disciples of elders can act this way, then conflicts will surely arise in the future!"
"That's right. No matter what, this brat destroyed the meeting pavilion. If this matter gets out, where will our reputation be in the future!"
Suddenly!
Just as they were speaking, Gu Changhe immediately let out a cold snort, appearing extremely displeased.
He then said, "I'm giving you face, and you don't want it? I'm making it clear today: whoever dares to harm this brat is going against me, Gu Changhe. Besides, are you blind? Look at this young lady, and you still don't understand what's going on? Someone wanted to make a move on the Bai Li family, and this brat merely drew his sword to help the distressed!"
"With such character and such talent, to put it bluntly, he is more qualified to hold a high position than you old fellows!"
As Elder Gu spoke, he immediately pressed several acupoints on Bai Li Qin Yin, who was beside Su Han!
At the same time, he handed a pill to Su Han, signaling him to give it to Bai Li Qin Yin... Indeed, after a short while, Bai Li Qin Yin woke up.
Looking at her surroundings, Bai Li Qin Yin was greatly shocked!
At the same time, she was filled with emotion. If not for Su Han today, she might have truly capsized in a small ditch!
Looking at the Crow Venerable hiding in the corner in the distance, Bai Li Qin Yin immediately pointed and said, "Crow, you dare to scheme against me! Today, I'll make you pay!"
At this moment, the Crow Venerable shivered!
He repeatedly apologized, "No, no, Second Guardian, you can't speak nonsense like that. I just arrived! This matter has nothing to do with me!"
In a flash, Bai Li Qin Yin drew her sword and immediately lunged towards the Crow Venerable.
But alas!
The Crow Venerable was quick and immediately reached the doorway!
At the same time, he cried out for help from outside, "Elder Wang, save me! This madwoman is trying to kill me..."
After all, the Crow Venerable had already witnessed Bai Li Qin Yin's power. If he were to truly fight her, he would be at a significant disadvantage, especially with Su Han nearby!
If Su Han were to throw a hidden weapon or two, the Crow Venerable would surely meet his end here today.
In a flash, a large group of people suddenly entered through the doorway. Leading them was Elder Wang, with hair like snow and a youthful face, holding a whisk, looking incredibly immortal. Following Elder Wang were three elders, two guardians, and seven or eight extremely powerful inner sect elders!
This lineup already indicated Elder Wang's status and strength within the Sacred Altar!
However, at this moment!
Su Han bypassed Elder Wang and saw a familiar face – Wang Yanji, the enemy of Sister Hua. Speaking of which, Wang Yanji was his old rival, but unfortunately, he had never had the chance to fight the old man face-to-face.
However, Su Han's appearance had changed, and with a casual glance, he shifted his gaze elsewhere.
