"I still didn't expect that this bracelet suits you quite well!"
Old Madam Yang smiled, "Actually, Xiao Fan is a good person. If you two can live well, this old woman will also be happy!"
"Grandma, don't worry, we will get better and better!"
Lin Ke nodded solemnly, but then frowned and looked around, as if searching for something.
"What's wrong? Xiao Ke?"
Old Madam Yang asked curiously, "Are you looking for something?"
"Grandma, if something happens later, you hide."
Lin Ke said, slowly taking out the Frost Sword. He could sense the Ghost Hall's presence getting closer and closer.
Seeing Lin Ke's expression, Old Madam Yang also frowned. She knew that the world was not as peaceful as she imagined. Lin Ke's seriousness must mean a crisis was imminent.
At that very moment, a powerful aura surged forward, and the man in black, holding a long sword, lunged directly at Lin Ke.
The entire riverside instantly erupted into chaos. Everyone scrambled to dodge, unsure of what was happening.
The black-clothed man who attacked forcefully was frozen into an ice sculpture by Lin Ke, completely motionless, devoid of any life.
Witnessing this scene, everyone present exclaimed in shock and quickly hid, not daring to delay.
At this moment, Lin Ke's gaze swept around, extremely vigilant. The person from before was definitely a probe; there was a more powerful presence behind him that had not yet made a move.
"With just you alone, protecting this old woman should be quite difficult!"
A burst of laughter echoed, and Hei Yu transformed into a streak of light, stepping towards Lin Ke. Wherever he passed, he carried a powerful internal force.
"So it's you!" Lin Ke frowned, simultaneously shielding Old Madam Yang behind him. He would not allow anyone to harm Old Madam Yang, not for any other reason than that Old Madam Yang was Lu Fan's grandmother and must not be harmed.
"What's happening on the riverbank?"
Yang Zixin spoke, holding a camera and aiming it at the opposite bank. He noticed the crowd on the opposite bank fleeing in all directions as if the world were ending.
"Not good, it's people from the Ghost Hall. They're going after Lin Ke!" Long Yi exclaimed, his expression becoming grave.
Lu Fan, without any hesitation, stepped forward and headed towards the riverbank.
At this moment, Lin Ke's figure slowly rose into the air, his Frost Sword operating at its peak. He dared not be careless against Hei Yu.
"Now you are alone, and you still can't stop me!"
Hei Yu waved his hand and struck towards Lin Ke. As a peak Battle Emperor, his power was not just for show.
Lin Ke unleashed his full strength but was still sent flying by a palm strike, unable to resist. In the face of a peak Battle Emperor, he appeared so helpless.
"Pfft..."
Lin Ke spat out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly paling. Hei Yu's strength was ultimately beyond his ability to cope, otherwise, he wouldn't have been defeated so quickly.
"Xiao Ke, are you alright!" Old Madam Yang stepped forward, looking somewhat panicked.
"I'm fine!" Lin Ke shook his head and slowly got up.
At this moment, Old Madam Yang stepped in front of Lin Ke, her gaze fixed on Hei Yu, "I don't know who you are, but you cannot harm him. If you truly want my life, I can give it to you now!"
"Old woman, you are quite loyal!"
Hei Yu sneered, "I don't want your life, but the item in their hands. However, since you've come to my doorstep, I can't delay this grand gift!"
With that, Hei Yu lunged towards Old Madam Yang, his expression filled with coldness.
Sensing such an aura, Old Madam Yang did not retreat at all. She continued to stand beside Lin Ke, unwilling to yield even if it meant being shattered into pieces.
Blocked firmly by Old Madam Yang, Lin Ke was deeply touched. He never imagined that an old woman would possess such strength, all for the sake of protecting her.
*Zheng!*
However, at that very moment, a powerful stream of light surged forth. Before Hei Yu could get close, his body was violently repelled, and even the corner of his mouth was injured.
Lu Fan and Long Yi's combined swords emitted an extremely formidable aura, astonishing everyone.
"You have quite the audacity to enter the city!"
Lu Fan stood with his hands behind his back, exuding an invisible aura. Within this city, he received immense national fortune, significantly boosting his strength. Hei Yu's choice to make a move here was an unwise one.
"I truly didn't expect you two to arrive so quickly!"
Hei Yu shrugged, "I originally planned to capture this old woman, and then I could force you to submit!"
"It seems your plan will fail!"
Lu Fan sneered, "You entered the city without even considering the Dragon Dynasty. You suffered a significant loss at the North Sea Peak last time. Are you looking to try your luck again?"
"Your tone is quite arrogant!"
Hei Yu's expression turned cold. As a peak Battle Emperor, he was naturally very proud.
"It seems you intend to fight here!" Long Yi narrowed his eyes, "But if that's the case, you might die miserably, as our national fortune here is extremely high."
"You don't want to fight here because you're afraid of damaging the city's foundation, but I have no such qualms."
With a faint smile, Hei Yu stated directly, "However, you can rest assured, I won't choose to fight you here, as it would be of no use to me."
"If that's the case, why are you still here?" Lu Fan said coldly, "Are you trying to force me to act?"
"Of course not. I'm staying to tell you that if you want to save someone, come find me at Wuli Slope outside the city. And if you don't come, that person will definitely not survive!" Hei Yu said with a cold smile, then turned to leave.
At this moment, Lu Fan frowned and looked at the others. However, no one present had been captured.
"Who did he capture? Why is he so confident?" Long Yi asked in surprise, "Should we directly take action and stop him here!"
"Don't be impulsive!"
Lu Fan waved his hand, "Making a move within the city is not a wise choice, and it would harm innocent people. We absolutely cannot do that!"
Long Yi was somewhat helpless but didn't say much more. After all, Lu Fan was the ruler of the Dragon Dynasty, and he naturally had to obey Lu Fan's words.
"What happened?"
Yang Zixin and Yang Shiyun arrived late, looking completely bewildered. They had been taking photos and sensed something was wrong, which led them to rush over.
