Lance Xu and the others had come to support Quinn Ye.
Although they knew it probably wouldn't be their turn to take action.
But they didn't expect that right after they arrived at Cloud-Drifting Mountain, the Experts of the Three Great Empires had already fled in panic.
What is this?
Wasn't this a wasted trip?
However, Lance Xu and the others had also been affected by the zither music of "Ambush from Ten Sides" just now and had seen that murderous hallucination, so they could understand why the Experts of the Three Great Empires would flee in panic.
If it were them facing such a terrifying existence, they would absolutely flee too.
Not daring to stay for even a moment.
Fortunately, we have a good relationship with the Expert.
This is great.
Lance Xu and the others all landed.
Quinn Ye was just about to play another tune, but a large crowd of people suddenly swooshed down from the sky.
It startled him terribly.
Finn Guo was also startled, but immediately after, he looked at Lance Xu and the others with shining eyes.
It could be seen that he was very envious of these cultivators who could fly through the air.
"Greetings, Young Master Ye!"
Lance Xu took the lead to bow.
Following that, Chad Chen and Gary Gongsun also bowed respectively.
This was Chad Chen's first time seeing Quinn Ye. He secretly marveled at how young Quinn Ye was, yet his cultivation was so unfathomable.
"Uh, what's going on with you guys?"
Quinn Ye was a bit confused.
So many people coming all at once, he didn't know what they were here for.
And they all came down from the sky.
Quite scary.
"Please don't take offense, Young Master Ye. We heard that someone wanted to harm you, so we came here to protect you," Lance Xu spoke up.
Quinn Ye scratched his head.
"No way? I haven't provoked anyone, who would want to harm me?"
Lance Xu and the others all had strange expressions.
Didn't you just easily defeat the Experts of the Three Great Empires with a single zither tune?
Why are you pretending not to know now?
Lance Xu, however, quickly reacted.
Isn't this the Expert's usual style?
Then we won't say much more.
Everything is understood without words.
"Seeing that Young Master Ye is unharmed, we are relieved. We will take our leave now," Lance Xu said.
"It's rare for you to come all this way, stay a bit longer. I just happened to bring out the zither, so you can all listen together and see how I play," Quinn Ye said warmly.
Listen to you play the zither?
Lance Xu's eyes immediately lit up.
Is he going to guide us?
"Uh, we won't intrude..."
Chad Chen was just about to say this when Lance Xu directly interrupted him.
"Ah! With Young Master Ye's passionate invitation, we naturally must show our support!"
"Yes, yes, yes, we'll all stay and listen to Young Master Ye play the zither."
Gary Gongsun also chimed in from the side.
Chad Chen looked bewildered.
The two of them kept winking at him.
Only then did the latter react.
Could this be a Fortuitous Opportunity?
His heart tightened, and he immediately cursed himself for being stupid.
He almost missed a heaven-sent opportunity.
"I am also willing to stay!"
Chad Chen said quickly.
Quinn Ye smiled: "Alright then, listen to me play the zither, and stay here for a meal later."
"Okay!"
Lance Xu was more than willing.
Last time he had hotpot here, he gained some insights from it.
If he could have another meal here, who knows what benefits he might get again.
Such an opportunity was truly something you couldn't even beg for.
"Disciple, go cook."
"Alright!"
Finn Guo rolled up his sleeves and went to cook for everyone.
Disciple?
Hearing this, everyone looked at Finn Guo in unison.
This young man is actually the Expert's disciple?
When did the Expert take in such a disciple?
However, to be accepted as a disciple by the Expert, he must definitely be an extraordinary person.
His future would surely be boundless.
They had to build a good relationship with him right now.
"So it's Young Master Ye's disciple. I came in a hurry and didn't bring much. Treat this Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone as a meeting gift."
"Me too, I came too hurriedly. I only have this High-Grade Spirit Sword with me, I'll give it to this little brother."
"I have a Heaven Origin Pill here!"
The three Sect Masters, including Lance Xu, all took out meeting gifts from their bodies.
Quinn Ye repeatedly declined.
"You are being too polite."
How could Lance Xu and the others take them back?
Naturally, they insisted on giving them.
Helpless.
Quinn Ye could only accept them on behalf of Finn Guo.
Just at this moment.
Two figures descended from the sky.
One old, one young.
It was exactly Cosmo Shen and Sia Xiao, who had rushed over upon hearing the news.
This master and disciple duo had flown all the way from Imperial Sky Valley without stopping, but were still a step too late.
"Hm? Where are the people from the Three Great Empires? Why isn't there a single one?"
As soon as Cosmo Shen arrived, he only saw the people from the Three Great Sects and didn't see the Experts of the Three Great Empires.
He couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled.
Seeing Cosmo Shen and Sia Xiao suddenly appear, the people of the Three Great Sects thought the people of the Three Great Empires had made a comeback.
For a moment, they all revealed vigilant expressions.
Quinn Ye greeted them.
"Old Mister Shen, long time no see."
Cosmo Shen quickly cupped his hands toward Quinn Ye.
"Young Master Ye, this old man has come to intrude again."
Quinn Ye waved his hand: "There's no such thing as intruding. It just so happens that the people from the Three Great Sects are also here, let's join the fun together."
The crowd from the Three Great Sects saw this and realized they knew each other.
Only then did they lower their guard.
"May I ask how to address this old gentleman?" Lance Xu took the initiative to ask.
"This old man is Cosmo Shen."
As soon as these words came out, the crowd from the Three Great Sects all revealed shocked expressions.
"Are... are you the Elder of Three Ultimates, Cosmo Shen, who shook the Southern Wasteland in the past?"
Cosmo Shen smiled slightly.
"Exactly this old man."
Hiss!
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
Cosmo Shen's reputation was too great.
The Elder of Three Ultimates, shaking the Southern Wasteland.
Among the older generation of martial artists in the Southern Wasteland, there wasn't a single one who didn't know the Elder of Three Ultimates.
Even among the younger martial artists, the mighty name of the Elder of Three Ultimates was widely circulated.
This was a top-tier powerhouse situated at the very pinnacle of the Southern Wasteland.
In the entire Southern Wasteland, the people who could compare with the Elder of Three Ultimates, Cosmo Shen, could be counted on one hand.
Yet such a legendary figure had appeared right before their eyes today.
How could everyone not be shocked?
And looking again at Cosmo Shen's posture towards Quinn Ye, he acted completely like a junior.
This made people even more shocked.
Just how monstrous is Quinn Ye?
Even a powerhouse like the Elder of Three Ultimates has to be so respectful and deferential to him?
For a moment, Lance Xu and the others felt awe in their hearts.
They had already imagined Quinn Ye to be very powerful before.
But looking at it now, Quinn Ye's level of formidable power was far beyond their imagination.
"Elder of Three Ultimates? So you are this amazing, Old Mister Shen?"
Quinn Ye looked shocked.
Cosmo Shen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
In front of you, how dare I call myself amazing?
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. Just a false reputation," Cosmo Shen said, sweating out of shame.
Quinn Ye laughed: "Perfect timing, you can also come listen to me play the zither, and stay here for a meal later."
"Okay!"
Naturally, Cosmo Shen didn't dare to refuse.
Let alone eating a meal.
Even if he was asked to plow the fields here, he would do it eagerly.
Quinn Ye started to play the zither.
As soon as he plucked, the crisp zither music flowed out.
In an instant.
Everyone revealed intoxicated and mesmerized expressions.
