The Grand Elders of the four great families watched curiously as another person flew towards them. They knew they represented the pinnacle of combat power in the entire Sun Base, yet someone else was still approaching them. This struck them as strange and left them somewhat bewildered, as they had never believed there were unknown experts within the Sun Base.
When Su Xiangyang clearly saw the approaching figure, he was utterly stunned. It was Ye Ningze. If it had been anyone else, Su Xiangyang would have been completely shocked. However, with Ye Ningze, Su Xiangyang found it somewhat reasonable. The reason was that he had collaborated with this person before. It was precisely because of someone like him that Su Xiangyang felt Ye Ningze might become an equal. Although he couldn't quite explain why he had this intuition, he undeniably felt it. This feeling continued to deepen, and even he couldn't fully explain its origin.
Considering that Su Xiangyang had seen many people, some astonishingly talented, others hailed as geniuses but who perished prematurely, he shouldn't have been surprised by either geniuses or exceptionally gifted individuals. Yet, Ye Ningze truly astonished him. He always sensed Ye Ningze's extraordinary creativity and his potential, which was akin to that of gods and demons. Su Xiangyang rarely used such terms for humans. For those who surpassed his imagination, he would apply such descriptors. In fact, Su Xiangyang would rather call them monsters.
The Grand Elder of the Song family, seeing more people approaching, was also quite surprised. He wondered if there was anyone besides the four of them who could rival their strength. But they didn't recognize this person. Did someone like that truly exist in the Sun Base? After a moment, the Grand Elder of the Song family seemed to notice that Su Xiangyang of the Su family knew the newcomer. He then addressed Su Xiangyang, "Do you know this fellow? If you truly know him, perhaps you could tell us his background. I'm curious. Anyone who can still approach this area must possess considerable strength, yet we don't recognize them."
Su Xiangyang merely glanced indifferently, showing no reaction to the Grand Elder of the Song family. Song Qinglian, knowing Su Xiangyang's personality, didn't bother him further.
When Ye Ningze arrived before them, he directly addressed the four individuals, "I need you to help me clear a path, and then I can directly eliminate this fellow."
Everyone present was taken aback by his words. It wasn't that they were weaker than the Golden Eagle Beast, but rather the peculiar environment here hindered them. Fighting in mid-air meant they couldn't exert their full strength. This significantly reduced their combat capabilities, making it not an easy task to eliminate the opponent. Yet, Ye Ningze boldly claimed he could defeat it. This implied either Ye Ningze's strength surpassed theirs, or he had a way to fight the monstrous beast in mid-air. Either scenario was hard to accept. If they, with their strength, couldn't manage it here, how could an unknown individual achieve this? If he truly could, it would mean he surpassed everyone present.
They all looked at Ye Ningze with a sense of loss. How could they accept such a powerful expert suddenly appearing before them? It wasn't just these few; a vast majority of people in the Sun Base found this fact unacceptable. They not only had to accept Ye Ningze's exceptionally high cultivation but also the powerful influence he commanded. The four great families were already like a massive boulder pressing down on their hearts. Now, an inexplicable force had emerged. If this force were benevolent, it would be one thing, but if it proved more troublesome than the four great families, it would be a different matter.
Simultaneously, the four great families were highly wary of such an individual. He possessed immense power, yet they were unfamiliar with him, and no one knew what he might do.
"Young friend, since you have come to this place and spoken such words, I believe you possess the necessary strength. Therefore, we shall carve a path for you to deal with it," said Song Qinglian, the ancestor of the Song family. Song Qinglian appeared to be a person of integrity, but in reality, only he knew his true intentions. Thus, after he spoke, no one present believed him.
"Kid, I must warn you. If you think this Song Qinglian is a good person, you are greatly mistaken. You must remain cautious of Song Qinglian, or you might not even know how you died," a voice warned.
Ye Ningze merely nodded lightly and calmly replied, "The same applies to you, the ancestor of the Su family."
Su Xiangyang nodded without any concealment and said to Ye Ningze, "Kid, I like your personality. Whatever you do, you do it openly and in front of me, unlike some who scheme behind your back. Because of this, rest assured, no matter what happens later, I will protect you and ensure no one harms you."
Ye Ningze had thoroughly understood Su Xiangyang's personality, so he knew how to interact with him. As for the Grand Elders of the other two great families, they seemed less enthusiastic and eager to engage with Ye Ningze. They appeared more like detached observers, inwardly sneering, waiting to see how Ye Ningze would defeat the Golden Eagle Beast. After all, the Golden Eagle Beast was not easily defeated by just anyone.
