Observing Emperor Beichen's indifferent expression, both Xiao Hongzhen and Jiang Yi's faces showed a hint of displeasure, but they did not continue speaking.
In their view, Emperor Beichen was just forcibly holding on for now. Once Bai Li Hongzhuang and the others failed one after another, it would be even harder for Emperor Beichen to maintain his position.
"Young Master, it seems like you are overly protective of Bai Li Hongzhuang, don't you think?"
At this moment, a man arrived late, slowly appearing in the sight of everyone.
As this man appeared, the gazes of the crowd fell on him, showing a slightly different meaning.
Bai Li Hongzhuang also noticed this man. She saw that he was dressed in a dark robe, around the same age as Emperor Beichen, handsome in appearance, and charming. However, compared to Emperor Beichen's extraordinary face, he still had a considerable gap.
However, Bai Li Hongzhuang noticed a hint of sinister light that flashed in the man's eyes without his awareness.
Even though it was well concealed by his charming appearance, at the moment he saw Emperor Beichen, this sinister intention couldn't help but reveal itself.
Almost at the first moment, Bai Li Hongzhuang had already determined the identity of this man—Ji Yangxia!
Earlier, she had heard about Xiao Hongzhen and Jiang Yi constantly causing trouble for Emperor Beichen, wanting to push him down from the position of Young Master and replace him with Ji Yangxia.
However, during the time she had been in Tiangang Sect, she had never seen Ji Yangxia before, and she didn't expect to see him in such a situation today.
"This Ji Yangxia is quite arrogant. Even Emperor Beichen arrived early, yet he dares to arrive late."
Xiao Hei furrowed its brows. Just by looking at Ji Yangxia's smile, it felt uncomfortable all over.
A mocking arc formed at the corner of Bai Li Hongzhuang's lips. "This guy deliberately arrived late, probably thinking that Emperor Beichen's sudden return has dealt him a significant blow."
She could imagine how glorious Ji Yangxia's position in Tiangang Sect was when Emperor Beichen was not around.
However, once Emperor Beichen returned, Ji Yangxia's position would no longer be the same, as if falling from the clouds to the ground.
Today, he appeared again, most likely to enjoy the show.
Speaking of which, these two hall masters and Ji Yangxia are really imposing!
"That's true," Xiao Bai chuckled lightly. "When the tiger is away, the monkey claims to be the king. Once Emperor Beichen arrives, Ji Yangxia will be put back in his place."
Ji Yangxia slowly walked up to Emperor Beichen. Although he addressed Emperor Beichen as Young Master, his proud demeanor clearly showed that he didn't really accept it.
Everyone looked at Emperor Beichen and Ji Yangxia, well aware of the conflict between these two in Tiangang Sect.
Now that Ji Yangxia took the initiative to provoke, they wondered how the Young Master would handle it.
Emperor Beichen glanced at Ji Yangxia indifferently, and a wicked arc formed on his lips again, his expression filled with disdain.
Seeing Emperor Beichen's expression, Bai Li Hongzhuang knew that Ji Yangxia was about to be dealt a blow.
"I protect my wife. What does it have to do with you?"
Emperor Beichen's low and magnetic voice was filled with arrogance and dominance as he lazily looked at Ji Yangxia.
Just a mere Ji Yangxia, if it weren't for the support of the two hall masters, he would have long been completely discarded!
At this point, Ji Yangxia dared to actively seek trouble with him. It was simply seeking death!
As Emperor Beichen's words fell, the cultivators present all had a sudden change in their faces, looking at Emperor Beichen in astonishment. They didn't expect Emperor Beichen to be so domineering as soon as he spoke!
