"You're leaving already?"

Mr. Li gently furrowed his brow.

Although he knew that all banquets eventually end, and Yang Yan would leave one day, upon hearing he was actually leaving, the old man couldn't help but feel a bit reluctant.

Some people, even if you haven't known them for long, feel like you've known them a lifetime.

And some people, despite knowing them a lifetime, feel like strangers in the end.

Undoubtedly, for Mr. Li, Yang Yan belonged to the former category, a true friendship despite the age difference.

"Go ahead! Go ahead! Honestly, from the day you arrived, I knew you weren't an ordinary person."

"Though I still don't understand what you do, I know this small town can't hold a True Dragon like you."

As the old man spoke, he walked towards the stairs.

Seeing him appear somewhat dispirited, Yang Yan chose not to say anything.

"Alright, before leaving here, there's one last thing I must do."

He gave a bitter smile, quietly turned around, and walked towards the door.

Upon returning to the town, Yang Yan already noticed its unusually calm state.

Moreover, there was a faint energy ripple emanating from all around.

To avoid destroying the town in the upcoming battle, Yang Yan went directly to the plaza, then suddenly stopped and stood still.

"Elder Wang, it seems that guy has already noticed us."

The elder beside Elder Wang stared intently at Yang Yan, frowning as he spoke.

"Hmph! Even if he knows, what can he do? I never expected those spineless fools to keep our secret."

Elder Wang snorted disdainfully.

"Come out! Stop mumbling with your heads buried and hiding over there, what are you doing?"

Yang Yan sneered as he spoke, looking at the spot where they were hiding.

"So young yet so arrogant, you really don't know the meaning of death! Remember, the heights are lonely."

Elder Wang revealed himself, speaking blandly.

"Enough with the nonsense!"

Yang Yan raised an eyebrow, speaking coldly:

"Elder Wang, right? I know why you're here. But unfortunately, I'm in a bad mood right now. If you want to die, come on over; if not, get lost!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Wang laughed heartily:

"Young but big-mouthed! I've lived so many years; what kind of genius haven't I seen? Only those who survive are truly geniuses!"

"As for someone like you, better hand over your cultivation secrets! Perhaps we'll show some mercy and spare your life."

He laughed unscrupulously as he finished speaking.

His laugh prompted his companions to join in, unable to restrain their laughter.

They'd made considerable preparations for this day.

Moreover, they decided to act only after confirming that Yang Yan's Ten Swords had all left.

"Enough with the chatter, are we fighting or not? If not, I'll take my leave."

Yang Yan was already impatient, disinclined to exchange more pointless banter with them.

However, initiating aggression himself seemed inappropriate.

After all, these folks were high-ranking members of Huaxia's Eight Divisions; some measure of face had to be considered.

Otherwise, future meetings could be awkward.

"Refusing the toast to drink a penalty cup, don't blame us for being rude! Set up the formation, attack!"

Elder Wang shouted, and a golden light enveloped the entire town.

"Those guys really acted. From now on, we'll have fewer self-important old coots in the Eight Divisions."

At this moment, Li Muge also felt somewhat upset.

After all, those folks, despite being unruly, were valuable warriors for Huaxia.

After this battle, the Eight Divisions' strength would inevitably suffer greatly.

"No growth comes without pain in this world. Although losing these folks this time, without the restraint from these conservatives, the Eight Divisions may strive for greater progress and effort in the future, perhaps it's not a bad thing."

Unexpectedly, Sword Immortal had already arrived sometime before.

He seemed quite open-minded about the situation.

Especially compared to the worried War God Li Muge, he appeared even a bit delighted.

"There's no avoiding it."

Entering alongside Sword Immortal, Lv Jian couldn't help but start laughing:

"Those guys are too self-important. For a long time, they've held high positions yet remained stagnant. They think they're unbeatable but are unaware they're simply frogs in a well."

He had no concern about the impact on Huaxia from these people dying, hoping instead for Yang Yan to eliminate these obstacles hindering the Eight Divisions, allowing young successors to advance unencumbered.

"Haha! Youth is wonderful, so full of vigor."

Sword Immortal stroked his beard lightly, showing a hint of a smile of appreciation towards Lv Jian.

On the ground, as Elder Wang was first to strike, the light in the town began gathering towards Yang Yan.

And the pressure within was growing ever stronger.

"The division of the Iron Law of Gravity, huh? But you stubborn old folks haven't mastered it well, so it's merely this."

Yang Yan sneered, disregarding the gathered light, and walked directly towards Elder Wang.

"Arrogant!"

Seeing Yang Yan completely ignoring his formation and advancing directly towards him, Elder Wang couldn't help but roar.

Insult!

Blatant insult!

"The times have changed, you folks clinging to outdated concepts are behind in the times, you're outdated."

"The main issue is, you guys are holding high positions. This stubborn mentality can cause harm for many people and also hinder the younger generation from advancing to stronger paths. So, it's time for you to die!"

Yang Yan felt an indescribable calm within.

The integration of Hidden World and the present is an irreversible trend, inevitably leading to negotiations between the leaders of Hidden World and current society.

But with folks like Elder Wang holding onto the 'I'm King Da and you're King Er' attitude, it would inevitably cause conflict between the current world and Hidden World.

Therefore, Yang Yan weighed the situation and decided to send them on their way, to clear some obstacles for the future.

The battle was without suspense.

These elders might still be formidable to ordinary people of Hidden World, but against someone of Yang Yan's caliber, they were no different from ants.

Looking at the corpses littering the ground, Yang Yan felt no emotion within.

Just as the outer light screen entirely vanished, Li Muge and Sword Immortal revealed their presence.

"The era is raging, I believe it won't take long for Hidden World to be fully exposed to the present world, are you ready for the turmoil?"

Yang Yan spoke slowly, his back facing the two.
