Chapter 1723
"Gentlemen, we don't want to cause trouble here." Zhan Xin stepped forward, trying to keep her tone restrained. "If you don't want to suffer, you'd better leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, you'll be in trouble when my husband arrives."
Piaoxue nodded in agreement: "Tian Shu City has strict rules, why ruin your future over a few words?"
They were well aware of Chen Xuan's strength, but they also understood the principle that "the tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind." A seemingly insignificant breach of the rules might become an excuse for their husband to be suppressed by various forces in the future.
However, the more they yielded, the more arrogant the six men in gold became.
“Chifeng, Duanyu, Wen Qiuyue, Xuanning…” Lin Yuyao gritted her teeth and pronounced the names of the people one by one, her eyes blazing with anger. “You are all courting death!”
"A dead end?" The man in golden robes, Chi Feng, sneered, his eyes filled with contempt. "Ten years from now, your Qilin City's million-year-old foundation will surely collapse!"
"Don't worry, once Qilin City is destroyed, I will take you in." The green-clad man, Duan Yu, toyed with the jade gourd in his hand, his tone sinister. "I will definitely 'treat' you well to avenge the grudges of the past!"
Before the words were finished, a violent fluctuation suddenly appeared in the void, as if a huge stone had been thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.
A figure in black appeared out of thin air, his long, flowing white hair swaying slightly in the air currents. It was Chen Xuan.
"Husband!" Upon seeing Chen Xuan, Tianxing seemed to have found her pillar of support. She threw herself into his arms with a sob in her voice, wiping away imaginary tears while quickly using her divine sense to tell him the whole story.
Yu'er, Zi Mo, Xin'er, and Piao Xue all turned to look at them, their eyes filled with a hint of inquiry—no wonder Tian Xing was so flustered just now, it turns out that this matter had been exposed.
Chen Xuan felt his face burning as he was stared at by his four Daoist partners with such knowing looks. Fortunately, he was thick-skinned enough to cover up his embarrassment with a light cough.
He took Tianxing's hand and slowly walked to the front of the crowd.
"Greetings, husband." Yu'er and the other three bowed in unison, their movements dignified and formal—this was both a matter of etiquette and a gesture for outsiders.
Chen Xuan nodded slightly, then raised his eyes, his contemptuous gaze sweeping over the six people opposite him. A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips: "It seems that the territory of Qilin City has been infiltrated quite deeply by you holy cities. You dare to target the young master of Qilin City in broad daylight?"
"So what?" Duan Yu, holding a jade gourd, looked Chen Xuan up and down. Seeing that his cultivation was only at the early stage of the Void Reversal Realm, even weaker than his own, he immediately sneered, "The defeat of Qilin City is already decided, and no one can reverse it!"
"Boy, you're quite the ladies' man." Seeing Chen Xuan's weak strength, the golden-robed man, Chifeng, became even more emboldened. He sneered and pointed at Piaoxue, Zimo, and Zhanxin, "These three fairies, I wonder if you would be willing to part with them for me?"
"Haha, since Brother Chifeng has chosen three, then the remaining two are mine!" Duan Yu immediately chimed in, his greed undisguised.
The disciples from the major holy cities who were accompanying them also burst into laughter, hurling insults and profanities.
Piaoxue and the others felt a chill in their hearts—they had been so presumptuous in front of Chen Xuan; this was troublesome.
Tian Shu City holds a special position, and even the successors of the Holy City dare not run wild here. However, if Chen Xuan were to make a move here and slaughter everyone, it would inevitably attract the attention of the forces within the city.
However, they ultimately underestimated Chen Xuan's state of mind.
How could the clamor of a group of ants disturb his Daoist heart?
Chen Xuan simply smiled faintly, his gaze sweeping indifferently over the six people. Then, he pulled his several Daoist partners and turned to leave gracefully.
"As the saying goes, illness enters through the mouth, and disaster comes from the mouth." His voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears. "Even if they are just ants floating around, they should pay the price for their words today."
"Who are you trying to scare?"
"Are you even a man? How can you tolerate this?"
"Hahaha, just as expected, it's all show and no substance, good to look at but useless!"
A chorus of mocking laughter came from behind him. They all thought that Chen Xuan had only uttered a harsh threat and was actually retreating in a sorry state.
Little did Chen Xuan know that although he didn't care about the petty squabbles of ants, he understood that if he tolerated such disrespectful behavior towards his Daoist partner today, wouldn't any Tom, Dick, or Harry dare to provoke him in the future?
If you are going to do it, do it thoroughly.
If the goal is to make an example of someone, how can a few juniors at the Void Reversal Realm and Primordial Spirit Realm possibly have a deterrent effect?
"Destroying the five holy cities, I think that's about feasible." Chen Xuan said calmly, as if he were remarking on the nice weather, while accompanied by several gloomy-faced Daoist companions.
Upon hearing this, Piaoxue, Zhanxin, Lin Yuyao, and the others were jolted and paused in their tracks.
When Lin Yuyao first saw Chen Xuan turn and leave, she had some reservations – after all, he wasn't one of her own, and her understanding of him was too one-sided. Only now did she realize that this man, when he moved, was unstoppable!
"Husband, they're just a few clowns, why get so angry?" Piaoxue whispered, her voice filled with worry.
Chen Xuan gripped her hand tightly, turned back and smiled, but his eyes flashed with a cold light: "Some things can be laughed off; but those who insult my Daoist partner must be deterred with blood and life."
