Chapter 1713: Chapter 1744: Hotheaded Rookie
Yang Chen spoke with an indifferent expression.
He casually tossed Chen Tianzhen’s corpse aside, like discarding a torn rag, the head twisted at a grotesque angle, staring with bloodshot eyes at the cultivators present.
It sent chills down the spine.
"You..."
"You killed Chen Tianzhen!"
"The Chen Family won’t let you get away with this!"
The surrounding cultivators trembled as they pointed at Yang Chen, their words stuttering.
It was too sudden; in the blink of an eye, a lively person fell dead on the spot.
And it was such a pure death; one must know that despite everything, Chen Tianzhen was a young expert in the Spirit Void Realm, easily crushed like a bug. What kind of cultivation level does the opponent possess?
"Don’t mention the Chen Family, even if I wanted to crush all the families on the east side, it’s merely a matter of moving a finger."
"This is what happens to those who offend my young master!"
"Immortal Wang, it seems you made the wrong decision. You shouldn’t have invited my young master, allowing these fools to provoke him; this will only bring disaster to your clan!"
Yang Chen looked at Wang Ruoying and said coldly.
"Senior Yang, this is a misunderstanding..."
Wang Ruoying wanted to explain, but was interrupted by a sequence of steady footsteps.
Approaching from afar, they resembled a series of drumbeats, striking a chord in everyone’s hearts.
It was deliberate, creating such footstep sounds, intending to suppress everyone present; the arrival was quite extraordinary.
"What misunderstanding, why not let Brother Liu hear it too?"
Beside a brook and beneath a bridge, a young man in a white robe strode forward boldly.
With every move, he exuded a powerful sense of oppression, like a tiger crouching for a long time.
"Someone died before I even arrived; this is hardly a good omen and somewhat inauspicious."
The young man glanced at the corpse on the ground, his brows slightly furrowing, and his gaze involuntarily shifted to Yang Chen, speaking lightly.
"Brother Liu Yun, you’re arriving just in time. If you hadn’t come, we all might have ended up dead today."
The surrounding cultivators seemed to have found their anchor upon seeing this young man, speaking with a sarcastic tone.
"Please allow me as the host to explain this matter to Brother Liu."
Wang Ruoying said solemnly; her face was extremely pale as news of the events concerning Yang Chen and Li Xiaobai had already reached the clan during the auction.
She had dispatched cultivators early to inform the clan, describing her plan and receiving approval from the higher-ups of the Heavenly God Clan.
Yet the higher-ups were still discussing and strategizing matters of the Battlefield of the Heavens, overlooking this side, making her face the embarrassment caused by these disciples.
Neither Li Xiaobai nor the disciples and cultivators of various clans gave her face, making it challenging for her to handle.
"Immortal Wang needn’t say more; I know these two are invited guests of the Immortal; but no one can act wantonly on the Heavenly God Clan’s territory, let alone commit murder?"
"During this gathering at the pavilion, killing a Chen Family prodigy in front of many young talents is a blatant provocation against all the eastern clans!"
"If we don’t address this promptly, we might be looked down upon in the future."
Liu Yun said dismissively, looking down from above.
Regarding Chen Tianzhen’s death, he showed no concern; instead, he appreciated the foreign cultivators for eliminating a rival and giving him an opportunity to assert dominance.
"Oh?"
"Immortal Wang, it seems your people don’t listen to you at all. Can I kill them all?"
Yang Chen’s eyes teased, looking at Liu Yun with amusement.
"Senior Yang..."
Wang Ruoying felt exasperated, wanting to pacify, but was rudely interrupted by Liu Yun.
"Immortal Wang, step back two paces. I want to see how Senior Yang plans to kill us all."
Liu Yun’s tone turned icy, and a ruthless gleam appeared in his eyes, as his blood qi surged, filled with murderous intent.
"Brother Liu, you..."
"No need for words. More people need to die here today, Immortal Wang, don’t say I didn’t give you face."
Yang Chen spoke up.
He was confident that his plan was going smoothly, the more arrogant he displayed here, the less the Heavenly God Clan’s higher-ups would dare underestimate them.
After all, their shown strength and financial power are far above ordinary clan forces.
"Stop everyone!"
"Behaving so frivolously in the Heavenly God Clan’s territory, are you trying to make my clan a laughingstock to outsiders!"
Just as tensions were at their peak, an elderly voice sounded.
An elder arrived, floating between Yang Chen and Liu Yun.
"I am an elder of the Heavenly God Clan, Wang Quan. Greetings, Friend Yang, here’s my salutations."
"Indeed, it was our clan’s provocation initially that wronged Young Master Li; I’m here to apologize to you."
"We are aware of the events at the auction; the clan leader would like to meet you two, and hope you’ll allow it."
Elder Wang Quan, hands behind his back, subtly but fully suppressed Liu Yun, forcing him back over ten steps, then turned to Yang Chen and Li Xiaobai.
His words were nicely spoken, reflecting the elder’s effort to suppress his anger, not only due to the clan’s higher-ups’ instructions but also because of the immeasurable cultivation level Yang Chen demonstrated, which intimidated him greatly.
"There’s wisdom in age, unlike these rash youths. Since it’s the clan leader’s gracious invitation, naturally, I’ll give face."
"Brother Liu Yun, you’re very lucky, keeping your life today. Be more mindful and don’t act recklessly in the future."
Li Xiaobai rose, hands behind his back, carefree as the wind.
This was his first time speaking since arriving, demonstrating a full presence, playing the role perfectly, like a senior instructing juniors, clearly indicating they’re on a different level.
Liu Yun turned livid, wanting to react but was firmly suppressed by Elder Wang Quan, unable to move.
"My young master spoke truly; across this insignificant place, only Immortal Wang and your elders have some insight."
"Meeting the Heavenly God Clan’s clan leader would be worthwhile; our clan is also interested in that so-called Ancient Starry Sky Road."
Yang Chen squinted, speaking sinisterly.
"Please!"
Elder Wang Quan gestured with a hand, showing the direction.
Yang Chen grabbed Li Xiaobai’s shoulder, and the two instantly vanished from the spot.
"Elder Wang Quan, why is this!"
"That arrogant fellow killed Chen Tianzhen!"
"Just because they’re from the Abyssal Domain, does the Heavenly God Clan allow them to lord over us!"
The restraint on Liu Yun lifted, his anger overflowing.
"Young boy who doesn’t yet have fully grown hair, do you know who you’re talking to?"
"Today, because of you all, our clan nearly faced catastrophe; don’t say I didn’t warn you. Go back to your clan and inform them of this, have your clan elders prepare benefits to compensate!"
Wang Quan’s face turned extremely grim.
That cultivator named Yang Chen’s cultivation was unfathomable, even for him, to probe.
It was an ocean-like vast aura, strength definitely far above his own, perhaps even surpassing the Immortal Gods Realm!
Li Xiaobai was even more mysterious; he couldn’t sense any cultivation from him, not a trace, like a mere mortal!
These two have a significant background; if today’s matter isn’t handled well, it could bring disaster to the Heavenly God Clan!
He inwardly blamed the rash youths for ruining things; Wang Ruoying’s approach was originally skillful, without offending anyone. He would settle accounts with various clans later!
