Chapter 91: The Black-robed Man

"Hmph—"

Just as Long Aotian's palm was about to land on Xiao Ai, Du Fei suddenly let out a cold snort, slapped the ground with his right palm, and his body began to move.

Then, Long Aotian's palm fiercely struck the back of Du Fei.

"Spurt—"

A mouthful of fresh blood spewed out, and Du Fei's face turned slightly pale. However, his movements did not pause for a moment. Instead, he pushed with both hands, sending Xiao Ai flying off the stage.

"Don't—"

Xiao Ai, in mid-air, let out a cry of alarm, her face turning deathly pale. At this moment, even if she wanted to save someone, she had no strength left.

In her eyes, Du Fei merely smiled faintly, then his body suddenly turned again, and he struck backward with a palm!

Seeing Du Fei's movements, Long Aotian's hand seal slightly contracted, transforming his palm into a claw. Black true qi flowed from his fingertips, and he fiercely struck Du Fei's crown.

At this moment, Du Fei was doing his utmost but had no way to dodge. The only path left was to fight head-on!

"I agree to your terms!"

Just as everyone thought Du Fei was about to meet his end, Xiao Ai, in mid-air, suddenly clenched her teeth and shouted in a low voice.

"Bang—"

As Xiao Ai's figure landed, a faint black shadow suddenly appeared in front of Du Fei, and a blurry figure emerged from the shadow.

"Swish—"

A hand slowly extended from the shadow, with a calm and composed air, and slowly clashed with Long Aotian's claw. Instantly, a bone-chilling true qi force spread out in all directions, and the sturdy stage was riddled with cracks.

"Crack—"

A bone-chilling sound followed, making countless people feel dizzy and their ears as if pierced by needles, causing extreme discomfort.

"Spurt—"

Long Aotian also felt a sweetness in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood, retreating dozens of meters. At the same time, a wave of shock surged in his heart.

Slowly stabilizing his body, Long Aotian quickly raised his head, his face twisted with a grim expression, and he glared at the black shadow, saying in a low voice, "Who are you, sir! This is a matter of the Yunshui Long family, please do not interfere!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the black shadow slowly dissipated, and after a moment, a figure covered in a black robe appeared.

The figure looked ordinary, like a common person on the street, but everyone who looked at it could feel an extremely powerful pressure.

This power came from the bloodline, and not everyone could resist it.

"Sixth Rank Martial Ancestor!" Long Aotian was the first to react, his face turning extremely grim, "How can this guy have a Sixth Rank Martial Ancestor as a backer!?"

Staring at the black shadow, Long Aotian felt a chill in his heart. He had seen Sixth Rank Martial Ancestors before, but precisely because of that, he understood the gap between himself and them.

This gap was something he couldn't close even with all his trump cards.

Martial Master and Martial Ancestor, though only one character apart, had a vast difference in strength!

If this person were to help Du Fei...

"Yunshui Long family?" The black-robed man's voice was calm, "What is this?"

As soon as the black-robed man spoke, everyone was slightly stunned. To be able to ignore the Yunshui Long family, this person's identity was definitely not simple.

At this moment, Long Aotian's face was also extremely colorful.

As for Shui Yao, Liu Ba, and others, although they were initially shocked by the black-robed man's appearance, they were not inexperienced. Now, they only frowned slightly.

After all, there were only a few Sixth Rank Martial Ancestors in the entire Daan Dynasty. For Du Fei to have a Sixth Rank Martial Ancestor come to his aid...

As for the other onlookers, upon hearing "Sixth Rank Martial Ancestor," they were already in a state of shock.

To them, these words were too distant and too sacred!

"Xiao Ai—?"

Glancing at the black-robed man, Du Fei recognized that this was the same black-robed man who had appeared in the Xuan You Secret Realm. However, he didn't have time to think much about it and quickly turned back.

Below the stage, a white-robed woman had appeared beside Xiao Ai, holding a white marten in one hand and gently patting Xiao Ai with the other, protecting her or, more accurately, capturing her.

At this moment, Xiao Ai's face was also extremely grim.

"What's going on?" His eyes twitched slightly, and Du Fei didn't know how to react to the sudden change caused by Xiao Ai's words. He instinctively knew that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.

"Ha ha... Miss, if you had agreed earlier, none of this would have happened. Don't talk about a stage duel; if Miss had spoken, even the extermination of the Yunshui Long family would be a matter of a moment."

As everyone fell silent, the black-robed man suddenly smiled faintly, ignoring Long Aotian behind him, and slowly turned to bow slightly in the direction of Xiao Ai.

Seeing his action, Xiao Ai's face turned pale again, as if she wanted to say something but ultimately didn't.

"Sir, no matter who you are, involving the Yunshui Long family..."

"Shut up—"

Before Long Aotian could finish, the black-robed man let out a low shout, casually flicking his right hand. Instantly, a massive true qi beam shot out from his sleeve, striking Long Aotian and sending him flying off the stage.

After hitting the ground, Long Aotian spat out a mouthful of blood and couldn't get up.

"Alright, since Miss has agreed, let's go. The Sect Master has been waiting for many years and can't wait even a minute longer!" The white-robed woman suddenly spoke, her voice calm.

"Ha ha, White Guardian, you're right... However, shouldn't we listen to Miss's instructions?" The black-robed man also smiled faintly.

"What instructions? Haven't we already agreed? As long as Miss agrees to leave with us, we will ensure Du Fei's safety... Do you really intend to exterminate the Long family? The Daan Dynasty is not our territory, and if those guys find out..."

"You're right. Then, let's go?" The black-robed man smiled faintly, looking at Du Fei, "That kid is already in this state. If he wants to solve his problems, he should do it himself. I believe you still have some strength, right?"

Saying this, the black-robed man lightly stepped forward and floated beside the white-robed woman.

"Wait!" Seeing this, Du Fei's face turned cold, and he stepped forward, ignoring the vast gap in strength, his face as calm as water.

"When did I say you could take Xiao Ai? Xiao Ai is mine, and you can't just take her away!"

Hearing this, the black-robed man smiled coldly, looking at Du Fei, and said, "Kid, we have some connection. For this, I won't hold it against you... If anyone else had said so much to me, I would have already killed them with a single palm!"

"I don't care who you are!" Du Fei's face changed again, and he stepped forward, charging toward Xiao Ai. To Du Fei, Xiao Ai was his last family member, and he wouldn't let anyone take her away.

"Inviting death!"

Seeing this, the black-robed man sighed, then clapped his hands, and a gentle force enveloped Du Fei, freezing him in mid-air.

"Kid... I'll say it again... It's not that we are forcing Miss to leave, but she has agreed to go with us... The condition is to save you, this useless person! Today, we are taking Miss away, and you can't blame anyone else! If you blame anyone, blame yourself for being too weak! Miss has a special identity that you can't imagine! Keeping her by your side, you don't even have the strength to protect her, so what's the point? It's better for us to take Miss away early, which is for your own good. Do you understand?"

Seeing Du Fei's expression, the black-robed man sighed and said, "Hmph! Now, it doesn't look like Xiao Ai is leaving voluntarily, does it?"

Struggling for a moment, knowing it was futile, Du Fei slowly stopped and looked at Xiao Ai, "Xiao Ai, tell them! You don't want to leave! It's just Long Aotian, am I afraid of him?"

"Only when you see the coffin do you shed tears?" The black-robed man lightly waved his hand, releasing Du Fei, and said, "Fine! Considering you've taken care of Miss for so many years, I won't make things difficult for you... Go and talk to Miss yourself!"

Saying this, the black-robed man exchanged a glance with the white-robed woman, and both stepped back half a step.

"Xiao Ai? What's going on? What's really happening?" Seeing them step back, Du Fei quickly walked forward, grabbing Xiao Ai's hand, and whispered.

Hearing this, Xiao Ai's face turned slightly pale, and after a moment, she said softly, "Master, it's all Xiao Ai's fault... I should have told you about these matters, but I was afraid it would affect your duel... so..."

"What's really going on!?" Du Fei's face turned cold, his voice hoarse.

Xiao Ai's face changed for a moment before she said softly, "Master... Xiao Ai has learned about her origins!"

Hearing this, Du Fei's body trembled slightly, and after a moment, his face showed disbelief.
