The voice of the Iron-Blooded Marquis came from behind the four men, who hurriedly stood up and respectfully said, "My Lord!"
The Iron-Blooded Marquis said calmly, "Don't forget, we still have the Academy Masters. They are beings capable of contending with Haotian. Haotian dares not make a move right now..."
"Your Excellency is wise!"
"The academy's teachers will surely protect Ye Fan!"
The four suddenly realized that Iron-Blooded Marquis had indeed seen through things!
Thinking of the academy's teachers, each one was capable of defying the heavens. Now that there were two of them, Haotian naturally dared not act rashly...
"So, what is Haotian's intention in doing this?"
Cheng Shifei turned to look at Tie Dan Shenhou and asked, "Is she trying to tell us that no one in this world can resist her?"
"This……"
Iron-Blooded Marquis narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's hard to say, after all, she hasn't met Ye Fan, the Martial Saint of the Mortal World!"
"I think Haotian is just putting on an act to scare us?"
"I think so too, otherwise why would she climb the mountain so slowly?" Cheng Shifei wondered.
The other three nodded, clearly agreeing with Cheng's opinion.

Yihua Palace, a quiet pavilion.
Dressed in plain clothes and with long black hair, Yaoyue held a piece of jade and gazed at the mountain peak, her eyes revealing surprise and worry!
"Lianxing, the Jade Emperor is climbing a mountain, shouldn't we make some preparations?"
Seeing her like this, I felt a pang of sadness and a sense of helplessness.
She really wanted to reassure her sister that she shouldn't worry, because no matter how powerful the Jade Emperor was, the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm was no less formidable!
But then he felt that speaking out would only cause more trouble, so he remained silent.
Lianxing was heartbroken and didn't want Ye Fan to be in danger.
Hearing Lianxing's words, Yaoyue slowly turned her head to look at her: "Lianxing, do you think we can stop Haotian?"
Lianxing bit her red lips, hesitated for a moment, and replied softly, "No."
Yaoyue smiled faintly: "Yes, we can't stop it, nor can we stop it."
Lianxing asked softly, "Sister, are you afraid that Haotian will hurt Ye Fan?"
Yaoyue sighed, "Alas, who knows?"
Lianxing was slightly taken aback, then gave a bitter smile.
He felt the same way; a sense of melancholy lingered in his heart! He wanted to advise his sister not to go see it.
They had said they wouldn't spy on Ye Fan, but who knew they couldn't help but look at the Chumen System!
"Haotian actually climbed a mountain... So what exactly is Haotian's intention in doing this?"
"Is it really just about going up the mountain to enjoy the scenery?"
"A person like her wouldn't stoop to superficiality."
Yaoyue couldn't help but frown; she had a feeling that this matter was not simple...
Unbeknownst to them, Haotian's actions were not to admire the scenery, but to search for Ye Fan.
Perhaps, she just wanted to have a proper talk with Ye Fan.
At the very least, we need to figure out why Ye Fan chose this path before deciding whether to eliminate him.
Therefore, she did not take direct action, lest she make things worse and damage her authority among the people.
She wanted to see what Ye Fan was really up to.
………………
At the Northern Cold King's residence, Xu Fengnian had already reached Tingchao Lake.
Xu Fengnian glanced around, then narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the lake not far away: "It seems Haotian has his eye on Ye Fan."
A sense of gravity welled up in his heart; he couldn't let Ye Fan die.
His father had sided with Ye Fan, so if Ye Fan died, his father would probably be in trouble too.
Xu Fengnian exhaled a long breath, casting all distracting thoughts aside.
He perked up, looked at the calm lake surface, and his mood inexplicably calmed down.
He knew that as long as Ye Fan was safe, everything would be fine.
He stroked his chin with his right hand, seemingly deep in thought, his face now showing a more resolute and sharp expression.
"Haotian? What exactly is he planning to do?"
"Is it enemy or friend?"
"An enemy? She wants to kill Ye Fan to consolidate her own position?"
Xu Fengnian muttered to himself, then lifted his foot and walked forward.
"What are you thinking about?"
Why do you look so worried? 497
Just then, a melodious girl's voice suddenly came from the side.
Xu Fengnian looked up and saw a pretty girl in red clothes leaning against the wall with her arms crossed, staring at his bluebird with a cold and arrogant expression.
She has a slender figure, delicate features, an oval face, fair skin, and an extremely alluring appearance.
Her all-black outfit accentuated her curvaceous figure, with a slender waist and long, straight legs.
Every smile and frown exudes captivating charm.
However, the frosty look on her brows made people feel involuntarily distant from her.
Xu Fengnian composed himself and smiled, "So it's Qingniao. I was wondering what Father would think when Haotian went up to Wangjian Mountain?"
Qingniao's lips curled up, revealing a proud smile: "So what if Haotian looks up at Sword Mountain? She wouldn't dare to touch Ye Fan in the slightest... As long as he is a Martial Saint in the mortal realm, he can create miracles."
Xu Fengnian smiled upon hearing this: "Indeed, Ye Fan is too extraordinary, and he also possesses the Northern Cold Luck. Haotian really needs to think carefully before trying to deal with him!"
"Let's wait and see what changes this martial arts master will undergo..."
He had high hopes for Ye Fan, and was even more concerned about Hao Tian. What was she doing? Wouldn't it be better for her to just stay in the sky?
Bluebird smiled faintly: "Of course!"
.........
With mixed feelings, Xiong Ba of the World Society watched Wang Jianshan's every move!
"Master, will Haotian really attack Ye Fan?" Bu Jingyun asked anxiously as he jogged over. "What should we do then?"
Although he didn't get along with Ye Fan and even wished he would die quickly, deep down he still hoped that Ye Fan could win!
Faced with the current situation, Xiong Ba was helpless and didn't know what to do. He could only pray that Ye Fan would be blessed with good fortune.
"well--"
Xiong Ba sighed and looked up at the sky, saying, "I hope he doesn't lose to Hao Tian. That new path of cultivation is so precious to us."
"If Ye Fan fails, we will have to go back to the old path, which will be even more difficult than before."
"He failed, and perhaps this is truly the end for me!"
Xiong Ba was very unwilling.
At this very moment, all the forces in the world who share the same feelings as Xiong Ba are closely watching Hao Tian's ascent of the mountain...
Chapter 129 Haotian and Ye Fan, who is superior?!
There aren't many pastimes on Wangjian Mountain, but fishing by a small lake halfway up the mountain, which Ye Fan prefers, is one of his favorite pastimes.
There's no other reason than that fishing not only tempers one's character but also adds a unique touch to the limited food options available on the mountain.
Today, Ye Fan, having finished his cultivation, leisurely arrived at the mountainside of Wangjian Mountain, carrying a fishing rod and a fish basket.
The weather at Wangjian Mountain is usually unpredictable, with few sunny days.
But with Ye Fan's arrival, the weather on Wangjian Mountain became mild and gentle.
Even when it rains, it's mostly just a light drizzle.
Indeed, even if no one paid attention to them, the flowers and plants around Wangjian Mountain grew quite well.
Amidst the verdant greenery, a myriad of colors unfold, but a single stream stands out as a particularly delightful sight.
Following the stream into the forest, you will come to a fairly wide and flat area.
Because of the flatness of the area, the stream is not so rapid, and a side branch is drawn out in a slightly low-lying area, forming a small lake.
This small lake is teeming with fish, all of them plump and round, nourished by the divine spirit of Wangjian Mountain.
The fish is also quite delicious. No matter how it's cooked, even the simplest steaming or braising will make the fish soup so good it'll make your tongue tingle.
Ye Fan also quite liked the fish, but compared to catching it and steaming or braising it, his favorite way was to skewer it with branches from the side of the field and grill it over a fire.
