Facing Two Alone, Showing One's Edge!

A prodigy of heaven-defying talent, with limitless potential!

It's just a pity that Chen Yunxuan doesn't know how to bide his time or keep a low profile.

Now that he's revealed his gifts too early, how could the Imperial Family possibly leave such a threat alive?

The Transcendent Realm is formidable, but the Imperial Family has no shortage of Transcendent Realm experts. What's more, those two Grand Elders of the Shangqing Sect are both at the ninth-layer peak of the Transcendent Realm.

"Chen Yunxuan, is it?"

"You're quite impressive."

"To be honest, this grudge is nothing more than some old matters between your Chen Family and the Liu Family."

"It hasn't really reached a point of life and death."

"If you're willing to join the Shangqing Sect and take me as your master, I can let bygones be bygones regarding what just happened."

"What do you think?" Wei Tianfeng asked with a smile.

Recruiting him?

The first thing he thought of was recruiting him?

As expected of a Grand Elder of the Shangqing Sect—his thinking was truly unconventional.

Wei Tianfeng's actions earned the admiration of many. They hadn't even considered this angle; they were solely focused on saving face.

"That's right. If you're willing to join the Shangqing Sect, our Imperial Family will also let the past go," said Wu Yuan, another Grand Elder of the Shangqing Sect.

Wu Yuan was the Old Ancestor of the Great Zhou Imperial Family, so his words naturally represented the entire royal house.

"Grandfather! Old Ancestor, you..."

The Fifth Prince never expected that his own maternal grandfather and his own ancestor would both refuse to side with him, and instead try to recruit this Chen Yunxuan?

"Those who achieve great things aren't bound by trifles. Can't you endure such a small grievance?" The King of the Great Zhou Kingdom looked at the Fifth Prince with displeasure.

In truth, given the current situation, if Chen Yunxuan were willing to bow his head, it would be the best outcome.

"Father King! I..."

"Silence!"

The King of the Great Zhou Kingdom let out a cold shout, then turned to the Liu Family Head and asked with a smile, "You wouldn't mind, would you, Family Head Liu?"

"Rest assured, the engagement won't be affected in the slightest."

Hearing this, the Liu Family Head quickly replied, "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. I'll leave it entirely to the King's decision."

"Mm, you're a sensible man." The King of the Great Zhou Kingdom nodded in satisfaction.

Now, everyone's attention was fixed on Chen Yunxuan, as they all waited for his decision.

Chen Yunxuan glanced at these lofty figures, gave a faint smile, and said, "I refuse."

"None of you are worthy of making Chen Yunxuan bow his head."

Chen Yunxuan's path of cultivation was built on the word 'domination'! How could he possibly choose to submit?

Besides, this paltry Shangqing Sect—did it even deserve to have Chen Yunxuan join?

At these words, everyone's expressions shifted.

Especially Wei Tianfeng and Wu Yuan. They hadn't expected Chen Yunxuan to show them such disrespect!

After all, within the Great Zhou Kingdom, they were the ones standing at the very top. When had anyone ever dared to be so insolent?

"So you're saying you'd rather refuse a toast than drink a forfeit?" Wei Tianfeng asked coldly.

"What I drink or don't drink is for me to decide."

"You... don't have the right!" Chen Yunxuan said coldly.

"Quite the big talk. Then let me see what gives you the nerve to say such things!"

No one expected Wei Tianfeng to choose to act personally. For someone of his status to personally strike at a junior was hardly dignified.

Though they thought this, no one dared to say it aloud.

"I've been wanting to test the results of my recent training myself!"

"Your making a move suits me just fine!"

Far from being afraid, Chen Yunxuan became unusually excited.

And the reason for his excitement left everyone utterly bewildered. You're about to die, and you're this happy?

Do you just not want to live?

The next moment, a golden light burst from Chen Yunxuan's body, enveloping him entirely.

His figure flickered, transforming into a streak of golden light that shot straight toward Wei Tianfeng.

Sensing Chen Yunxuan's momentum, Wei Tianfeng's heart jolted. This kid is strange!

Boom!

With a thunderous crash, Chen Yunxuan's single punch forced Wei Tianfeng back over ten meters!

This scene left everyone present with their jaws hanging wide open!

How was this possible?

Wei Tianfeng had actually been forced back?

A single punch had sent Wei Tianfeng reeling?

"What the Old Ancestor said was right—cultivation realm is one thing, but differences in techniques and martial skills also affect a person's strength."

"Even against a Transcendent Realm ninth-layer peak, there's still a chance to fight!"

Chen Yunxuan felt a surge of joy, gaining a certain understanding of his own power now.

After all, throughout this journey, Chen Yunxuan's strength had risen rapidly, but in actual combat, he'd never had the chance to go all out.

"You... both of you, come at me!"

Chen Yunxuan pointed at Wu Yuan in the distance, wanting to test whether he could hold his own against two Transcendent Realm ninth-layer peak experts!

"What? He actually wants to fight two at once?"

"Crazy! This kid is absolutely insane!"

"With Transcendent Realm first-layer cultivation, forcing back Wei Tianfeng with one punch—that's enough capital for him to be arrogant."

"But Wei Tianfeng was clearly caught off guard just now; he didn't take Chen Yunxuan seriously at all. If he gets serious, the outcome might be uncertain."

"That's possible too!"

Others didn't know, but Wei Tianfeng himself was well aware—though he had indeed been careless at the start.

Yet after sensing Chen Yunxuan's overwhelming aura, Wei Tianfeng no longer underestimated him.

That blow just now, while not his strongest, hadn't held back either.

"Kid, don't think that just because you have some strength, you can run wild without restraint."

"Do you really think I'm no match for you?" Wei Tianfeng's face darkened as he charged at Chen Yunxuan once more.

"Hmph, then I'll join in too."

Wu Yuan didn't choose to watch from the sidelines; instead, he jumped into the fray.

With Wu Yuan's involvement, Chen Yunxuan fought one against two, trading blows back and forth with them. For a moment, it was impossible to tell who would win.

"How is this possible? How can he be this strong?"

Seeing this, the Fifth Prince was starting to question his very existence.

No one regretted this more than the Liu Family!

The Chen Family had truly risen, and risen so fast!

Liu Mengyan's gaze toward Chen Yunxuan shifted as well. This was a true genius, a true favored son of heaven.

If she could marry someone like this, wouldn't her future be even brighter?

"Send the order—muster all troops near the capital and station them around the palace."

"If anything goes wrong, swarm him and let loose a volley of arrows."

"I refuse to believe that kid never runs out of steam."

"He absolutely must not leave the palace alive."

The King of Great Zhou Kingdom had already seen the situation clearly. Reconciliation was impossible, and apologizing was out of the question.

So the only option left was to kill Chen Yunxuan.

"How interesting. Truly interesting."

"To think that in this little Great Zhou Kingdom, there exists such a youth."

"It seems this trip of mine was definitely not wasted."
