As the Universe Turns - Chapter 954
Chapter 954 Deterrence
At this moment, Gongsun Zhang was also stunned. Only when Xiao Chen’s figure approached did he regain his senses, “Wu Chen … Little friend Wu Chen.”
“Who are you?”
Li Zhengyan stared coldly at the white-haired man who suddenly appeared in front of him, while the Qingyi disciple behind him was stunned. His white hair was like snow, as cold as frost. Could it be …
Xiao Chen did not reply to Li Zhengyan’s words. He continued to walk forward. The wind slowly blew past him and rolled up the leaves beneath his feet. This silent atmosphere was becoming more and more suffocating.
“Let her go, and then … leave this place.”
Finally, Xiao Chen spoke again. However, the hearts of the surrounding people tightened. Who exactly was this person that could speak to Li Zhengyan in such a manner? Although the aura emanating from his body did not seem to be very powerful, what exactly was going on with this cold suffocating feeling …
Even Li Zhengyan couldn’t help but feel a bit depressed when he looked at his opponent’s abyss-like gaze. Why did he feel such a heavy pressure?
Ever since his cultivation had broken through to the True Cave Stage, he had only felt this kind of pressure when facing Yun Sect and the others. But why did such an ordinary looking young man actually cause this kind of pressure on him? It was even more intense than Yun Sect and the others …
He was almost out of breath.
However, he was the head of the family, and now that he had Yun Sect as his backer, he quickly calmed down. His expression remained unchanged as he coldly stared at Xiao Chen and said, “No matter who your Excellency is, I hope that you will not interfere in the affairs of the eighteen families in Shu.”
“Then I … must interfere.”
The icy cold tone caused a trace of coldness that was as cold as frost to instantly appear in the wind. It seemed to be somewhat unexpected. In a small place like Shu, the Dong Zhen Stage was almost at its peak. Who exactly was this person that could speak to a Dong Zhen Stage cultivator in such a calm and unhurried manner?
At this moment, everyone held their breath. Some of them stared at Xiao Chen motionlessly, while others stared at Li Zhengyan dully.
The latter’s face was clearly covered in green veins.
Li Zhengyan slowly loosened his grip on Gongsun Yingxue, but at this moment, those two cold and fierce gazes had always landed on Xiao Chen, never changing.
“Junior Sister … hurry back!”
After seeing Li Zhengyan let go of her junior sister, Yin Jian immediately flew over, took her up, and flew towards Gongsun Zhang and the elders.
On the other hand, everyone’s gazes fell on Xiao Chen and Li Zhengyan. Although Li Zhengyan had let go of Gongsun Yingxue, it did not mean that he had given up. Instead, he no longer used Gongsun Yingxue as a threat.
Even the disciples behind him couldn’t help but feel their hearts tremble from the cold killing intent emanating from his body. It had been a long time since they had seen the Patriarch reveal such a heavy killing intent.
“Do you have to interfere …”
Li Zhengyan’s gaze became colder and colder. In fact, in the past, the strength of each of the eighteen clans in Shu was not much different, so the clan masters and sect masters were also very polite.
However, perhaps because the Li Clan had Yun Sect as their backer and Li Zhengyan’s cultivation base had broken through, they had unknowingly become arrogant and arrogant. It was like something that had expanded after being heated, so much so that they didn’t even know who they were.
“Then I want to see what ability you have to interfere!”
Just as everyone held their breath, Li Zhengyan raised his hand and a surge of True Qi surged out. The power of the True Cave Stage almost wanted to tear apart the void, and the palm power was like a primordial beast, devouring Xiao Chen.
At this moment, even the people in the distance felt suffocated. Some of the people with lower cultivation were sent flying by a strong wind. However, looking at Xiao Chen again, he actually stood there, his gaze coldly staring at Li Zhengyan, not moving at all.
Incomparable palm power instantly arrived, but the next scene shocked everyone present. No one dared to believe what they were seeing at this moment!
The palm force instantly enveloped Xiao Chen, but the latter seemed to be fine. He completely ignored the palm force and slowly walked towards Li Zhengyan.
“You …”
At this moment, Li Zhengyan also felt a deep suffocation. Next, there was despair, despair that was like falling into an abyss. The power of his True Cave Stage was actually unable to cause any harm to the person in front of him!
The people in the distance were also silent. The deepest despair was not because the other party defeated you in one move, but because even if the other party stood still, your so-called strongest strength would not be able to harm the other party at all. Yet, the other party’s finger could make you ashen. What kind of despair was this?
Yin Jian and Gongsun Yingxue were also stunned. They stared blankly at Xiao Chen in the distance and recalled the scene in Mount Shu …
Finally, the gale stopped. Li Zhengyan withdrew his palm and stared motionlessly at the young man in front of him.
At this moment, it was as if he had already fallen into the abyss and could no longer come up, while the other party was standing above the abyss, looking down at him, watching him struggle and despair.
“White hair like snow, ice-cold like frost … You, you are the master of Lustless Heaven … Xiao Yichen!”
The Li Zhengyan disciple behind Qingyi’s face turned deathly pale. At this moment, he suddenly shouted out in horror.
“Lord of Lustless Heaven … Xiao Yichen …”
At this moment, the air seemed to have condensed into a layer of ice, and everyone was frozen, not daring to move a single bit.
Li Zhengyan looked at the young man slowly approaching him. He suddenly had a feeling that his life no longer belonged to him. Instead, it was an illusion in the other party’s hands.
At this moment, he did not hesitate any longer. Even if it was the head of the family, he quickly knelt down and bowed to the other party. He cupped his hands and said, “I didn’t know that Sovereign Lord Xiao had arrived. This lowly person didn’t recognize Mount Tai, so he offended Sovereign Lord!”
At this moment, the atmosphere was as cold as frost. Everyone was dumbfounded. No one dared to make a sound. Perhaps it was because of Li Zhengyan’s respectful attitude, or perhaps because of Xiao Chen’s silent aura, no one dared to speak.
Li Zhengyan’s body was clearly trembling.
He never imagined that this young man in front of him was the rumored Lord of the Lustless Heavens. Perhaps because he was blind and arrogant, he did not believe the rumors about Xiao Chen. However, after seeing it with his own eyes, how could he not believe it?
Recalling the other party’s words, “Then pay with the lives of everyone in your Li Clan”, he was still trembling. If he died alone, it would be fine. However, if the entire Li Clan was implicated, then he would commit suicide on the spot and would not be able to apologize.
Therefore, even if he was the head of the family, he had to kneel down.
“Get up.”
Xiao Chen looked down at him and said indifferently.
“Yes …”
Li Zhengyan’s body trembled slightly. His face was as pale as paper, and he didn’t dare to defy him. He slowly stood up, but at this moment, he didn’t dare to look directly into his opponent’s eyes.
Xiao Chen looked at the panicked and uneasy him and said indifferently, “Patriarch Li is capable of bending and stretching. There is no need to be so nervous. I will not kill you, but I still have to say that if there is time in the future, Patriarch Li can take more walks outside of Shu.”
Hearing this, Li Zhengyan’s entire body trembled again. He raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him. The other party was right. In fact, Shu was very small, so small that even a Cave True Stage cultivator could control half of the wind and clouds inside.
That’s why he’s blind and doesn’t see Mount Tai. That’s why he’s watching from the bottom of his heart and watching the sky from the well …
“Sovereign Lord Xiao, what you’ve taught me is …”
Li Zhengyan lowered his head and immediately raised his head. He cupped his hands and said, “This lowly man swears that he will never take another step into the Sword Burying Valley within a hundred years. If he violates the oath, he will be at the disposal of the Sovereign Lord …”
