As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Ye was about to attack. But right at this moment, a white haired old woman appeared in front of Luo Xue. Tang Ye’ pupils constricted because he’d actually not noticed how she appeared here! This old woman’s strength is absolutely on par with Qian Huan and Feng Xiu! A trace of heartache flashed through her eyes as she gazed at Luo Xue who was still bleeding from his throat. She flicked her finger, and a strand of green light entered Luo Xue’s body. In an instant, the injuries on Luo Xue’s throat had slowly healed. The old woman walked over to Luo Xue, and then she stretched out her hand to rub his head before she said, “I told you that you should never be careless when facing an enemy, but you always refused to listen. You felt that you were invincible amongst your peers. Now, you’ve suffered a loss!” As soon as she finished speaking, she exerted a little strength from her palm, and then Luo Xue’s eyes instantly closed. The old woman turned around to look at Tang Ye. She sized him up and said, “Not bad, as expected of the Sword Emperor. You already possess such attainments in the Sword Dao at such a young age. You’re just like the Sword Sect’s Founding Ancestor from all those years ago!” So the senior has come to avenge the junior? Tang Ye laughed coldly and remained silent. However, the ridicule on the corners of his mouth wasn’t concealed at all. Meanwhile, Qian Huan had appeared on the arena as well. He glanced at Tang Ye with a complicated expression while he sighed lightly in his heart. After that, he gazed at the old woman and said, “You’re Senior Luo Rong of the Half-Demon Race, right?” The old woman nodded lightly, and then a wisp of a smile appeared on her wrinkled face as she said, “I never expected that someone amongst the humans would actually recognize me after living a few hundred years in seclusion! Besides that, you’ve stepped foot into the Monarch Realm as well, so there’s no need to consider yourself a junior.” A wisp of a bitter expression appeared in Qian Huan’s eyes upon hearing these words. It was originally a mere guess of his, and he hadn’t expected that she would actually be that supreme expert who shocked the central territory a thousand years ago! Even though they were both Monarch Realm experts, Qian Huan was clearly aware that he was far from being a match for her. It should be said that there was absolutely no more than a handful in the entire continent who could firmly suppress her! After all, this old woman had killed 3 Monarch Realm experts in the past! She was a true old monster! If it was possible, he was truly unwilling to become enemies with her. Unfortunately, she’d publicly broken the rules. So, if he didn’t say anything about it, then it would be him and his sect who lost face. He couldn’t afford to lose face from this! Qian Huan shook his head and said, “Senior Luo, you ought to be aware of the Hidden Dragon Rankings’ rules. Doing this is a violation of those rules!” The old woman nodded and said, “But he’s my grandson. I can’t just watch as he dies!” As soon as she finished speaking, she gazed at Tang Ye and said, “How about you let him off this time? So long as you don’t kill him, then saving him wouldn’t be a violation of the rules. In that way, everyone would be happy. Alright?” When he heard this, Qian Huan looked at Tang Ye as well. She wasn’t wrong. If Tang Ye agreed to spare Luo Xue, then she wouldn’t be breaking the rules by saving him. Even though she’d broken the rules in advance, but nothing could be done about that! After all, her strength was clear for all to see while Tang Ye didn’t have the support of any expert.... Tang Ye was looking downward while ghastly killing intent surged incessantly within their depths. Even though she spoke as if she was discussing it with him, how could Tang Ye be unable to discern the threatening tone behind all of that!? Everyone will be happy? All of you will be happy, but what about me? What about Xi Luo? What about our happiness? Tang Ye forcefully suppressed the surging killing intent in his heart, and then he raised his head to look at the old woman before he smiled. “Senior is absolutely right. But Junior fought your grandson for so long and am covered in no less than 100 injuries. Senior should at least pay for my treatment, right? In that way, everyone would truly be happy. What do you think, Senior?” After he finished speaking these words, Tang Ye felt an extremely strong feeling of helplessness in his heart. If it was possible, he’d like to kill both of them with a single swing of his sword. Unfortunately, he didn’t have the strength to accomplish that. A sword cultivator would rather break than bend. But it depended on the occasion. If he were to rather break than bend now, then he would truly die. Because it was extremely easy for the old woman to kill him. As for the rules of the Hidden Dragon Rankings, Tang Ye was utterly filled with disdain towards it. After all, the old woman had clearly broken the rules already, but Qian Huan didn’t even dare to be forceful against her! A wisp of praise flashed through Qian Huan’s eyes when he heard Tang Ye, and he said to himself, At least he’s able to see the larger issues at hand. At the same time, he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. After all, he would be in trouble if Tang Ye refused to compromise. The old woman’s hands that were concealed beneath her long sleeves were slowly relaxed upon hearing this, and then she said, “Treatment expenses? Of course... of course....”
