The master goes down the mountain, I have nine invincible masters!

Chapter 3470 One-Finger Decapitation!

"If you won't give it to me, then I'll just... steal it!"

Ye Junlin slowly stood up, placed his hands on the table, and stared intently at Elder Long.

Originally, he thought there was room for negotiation.

Now that you've acted unjustly, don't blame me for being unjust!

"Be bold!"

"presumptuous!"

"How dare you be so arrogant within our Shangxiao Palace? Are you courting death?!"

As Ye Junlin's voice rang out, the crowd present became agitated and shouted in unison their rebukes and reprimands.

Elder Namu's face turned fierce, and his aura surged.

"you again!"

Ye Junlin's gaze turned cold as he stared at Elder Mu: "You've said you wanted me dead several times. I've remembered this debt. You'll be the first one to die!"

Meeting Ye Junlin's gaze, Elder Mu, whose face was still fierce, suddenly trembled.

In that instant, he felt as if he were being targeted by death.

My whole body was ice-cold!

I felt a chill run from the soles of my feet straight up to my head.

Like falling into an ice cellar!

"Ye Junlin!"

At this moment, Lin Yueyue's expression changed, and she immediately reprimanded Ye Junlin sternly: "We let you into the council hall to discuss things properly, not for you to show off your power!"

The real intention behind these words was, of course, to prevent the situation from getting out of control!

At the same time, it also gives Ye Junlin a way out.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was straightforward, but she realized what was happening and immediately shouted, "Ye Junlin, you better behave yourself and talk to the Grand Elder properly. Don't try to act tough!"

Ye Junlin gave them a deep look, knowing in his heart that they meant well.

However, from the very beginning, he was plotted against by the people of Shangxiao Palace.

How could I possibly swallow this insult?

"You don't need to say anything more. All I know is that the amethyst was originally mine, and it's only right that I take it back!"

Ye Junlin said coldly, his eyes fixed on Elder Long again: "Elder Long, is there anything wrong with me taking back what's mine? Is there anything I shouldn't do?"

Elder Long shook his head: "Young friend Ye, we could have had a proper conversation."

Ye Junlin scoffed, "If we could have a proper conversation, you wouldn't need to play those tricks on me!"

Elder Long knew that Ye Junlin was aware of everything and that he had been the one to push things along.

He sighed deeply: "I knew it. I like you more and more, and I admire you more and more. There are many disciples in Shangxiao Palace, but none of them are as quick-witted and intelligent as you."

Ye Junlin sneered: "Elder Long is valuing my talent and doesn't want to kill me?"

Elder Long shook his head: "I never said I wanted to kill you."

These words surprised Ye Junlin, who was somewhat puzzled.

Why do they go to such lengths to scheme against themselves, yet never lay a hand on them?

"Ugh!"

Elder Long sighed again: "Since young friend Ye has already guessed it, I might as well speak frankly. I just don't want to hand over the Glazed Purple Jade Stone to you. This item is extremely important to my Shangxiao Palace."

"Please, young friend Ye, show mercy!"

At this point, Elder Long actually stood up, cupped his hands, and slowly bowed to Ye Junlin.

This scene shocked everyone present, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Elder Long would actually treat a junior like this?!"

"He's putting himself in far too humble a position!"

"Elder Long is too kind and understanding. If you ask me, there's no need to be so polite!"

"That's right. He killed our disciple, and we didn't pursue the matter. Yet he still dared to spout nonsense. If we don't teach him a lesson, he'll never know his place!"

"..."

Everyone present was filled with righteous indignation, their eyes blazing with anger.

Faced with this scene, Ye Junlin was slightly moved, and his anger subsided somewhat.

This Elder Long wasn't exactly aggressive.

"Elder Long, I don't want to break ties with your Shangxiao Palace because of your attitude towards me. Besides, I have some connection with Jiang Xiaoxiao and Lin Yueyue. Is there really no room for reconciliation?"

Ye Junlin sighed.

"Young friend Ye, why is this item so important to you?"

Elder Long countered with a question.

"Elder Long, why is this item so important to you?"

Ye Junlin didn't answer, but instead returned the words verbatim.

Elder Long paused for a moment, then laughed: "Hehe, hehehe... You really are a shrewd person, too clever."

Ye Junlin calmly looked at Elder Long: "You can't say, and I can't say either, but I'm not sure if we're talking about the same thing, or the same situation."

Elder Long narrowed his eyes, but after a moment he shook his head: "No one can say for sure, but I really can't hand it over."

Ye Junlin said, "If we are doing the same thing, then that's fine. If not, then let's talk again."

Elder Long said, "Tell me about your matter first."

Ye Junlin smiled too.

Both the old man and the young man were shrewd individuals, and neither was willing to reveal such a crucial secret.

Elder Long spread his hands and said, "If neither of us speaks, then our conversation will probably reach a stalemate."

Ye Junlin turned around, left the table, and stood calmly in the open area.

He raised his hand, gesturing for us to proceed: "Our conversation, while not filled with much hatred, has certainly not been pleasant either. But I must obtain the amethyst jade, so..."

"Fight!"

boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, a scarlet killing intent instantly spread from Ye Junlin's body.

"If I can take it, it's mine; if I can't, I'll accept my loss!"

Ye Junlin said coldly.

"Young friend Ye, why...why are you doing this?"

Elder Long's face showed emotion, and he sighed deeply.

"Things have come to this point, there is no other way but to fight!"

Ye Junlin's tone remained icy.

"How about this……"

Elder Long pondered for a moment, then said slowly, "The lapis lazuli purple jade stone is yours, we don't deny that, but it's also a fact that you killed my Shangxiao Palace disciple. Let's call it even, but you're unhappy because you were tricked."

"Then, let's fight!"

"But we will treat you fairly. We will send three elders. If you can win three rounds in a row, we will return the Azure Jade Stone to you. If you cannot win, this matter will be dropped."

"what do you think?"

To be honest, Ye Junlin did not want to clash with Shangxiao Palace, especially before he had thoroughly investigated the matter of his second senior sister. He was even less willing to break ties with Shangxiao Palace.

In addition, Elder Long is indeed quite reasonable—although he was unreasonable in this matter.

But things have come to this point, and the choice is between facing a three-way battle and facing the entire Shangxiao Palace alone...

Of course, the former is the better choice!

"Okay, I promise you!"

Ye Junlin nodded, then a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "But before that, let me stretch my muscles!"

Swish!

Upon hearing this, Ye Junlin's figure swayed slightly, like a ghost, almost invisible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of Elder Mu.

Before anyone at the scene could understand what that sentence meant—

Ye Junlin made his move.

With two fingers together and an expressionless face, he ruthlessly slashed at Elder Mu's throat.

Swish!

A flash of sword light burst forth, so fast that Elder Mu didn't even have time to react before his head flew high into the air!

One finger decapitation!
