"Chu Tian, no matter how the Ye Family wronged you, none of that had anything to do with Ye Feng personally. He's your brother-in-law, the man betrothed to Yun Shang since childhood. How could you strike at him with such viciousness?"
Duanmu Wan finally arrived. When she saw the terrifying chill flowing through Chu Tian's eyes, a cold shiver crept up her spine. But as the only remaining descendant of a great family present, and a descendant of Saint Ancestor Duanmu besides, she had to step forward and stop Chu Tian, whether by reason or sentiment.
Even if those older Heavenly Gods used only their physical bodies, they might not have been weaker than Chu Tian. But even if they were given ten thousand times the courage, they would not dare interfere in a conflict between two Founding Families. Once the reckoning came after autumn, ten thousand lives would not be enough for them to lose.
Duanmu Wan stood before Ye Feng, who was covered in blood and sprawled on the ground like a lump of mud, and angrily rebuked Chu Tian. "Even setting aside personal ties, as the sect's Holy Son and the next sect master's heir, it is your duty to uphold the sect's rules and regulations. The Sacred Heaven Pool is a sacred land of the sect, the place where the Revival Saint Ancestor passed away in meditation. How could you attack here? This is desecration of the Saint Ancestor, a grave act of disrespect!"
Chu Tian walked up to Duanmu Wan, his expression utterly calm, and said flatly, "Move."
"Are you trying to kill Ye Feng?"
"Don't force me to act."
"Chu Tian, try laying a hand on me!"
At those words, Duanmu Wan's baby-fat cheeks reddened with fury. Her already full chest rose and fell sharply as she shouted:
"As the legitimate daughter of the current Duanmu Family patriarch, I solemnly warn you: stop this lawless, utterly unrestrained behavior immediately! Otherwise, once we leave the Sacred Heaven Pool, I will report this to the Internal Affairs Hall and the Law Enforcement Hall, and even notify the Elder Council!"
Hui Mei had initially been rather shocked. Even he had not expected Chu Tian to be so bold as to suddenly attack Ye Feng. But when he saw Duanmu Wan's heaving chest, his eyes suddenly flew wide open.
"This is far too magnificent and surging. Cousin is the same age as her, so how can the difference be this enormous?" Hui Mei muttered to himself.
Bang!
Suddenly, a green figure descended from the sky and crashed heavily beside him, accompanied by Duanmu Wan's pained cry.
Everyone present was stunned. They had not expected Chu Tian to dare attack Duanmu Wan as well. Though he had not greeted her with slaps as he had Liu Yun, he had formed a huge hand from Dao intent, seized Duanmu Wan by the neck like a chick, lifted her up, and casually tossed her aside.
Duanmu Wan's face was flushed red. Her already round little face now resembled a big red apple. Climbing to her feet, she roared, "Chu Tian, I'm not done with you!"
Just as she was about to charge forward, Chu Tian turned around. His condensed gaze pierced through space and slammed directly into the floor before her. Like a meteor crashing down from the heavens, it unleashed a dull boom. The sturdy floor shattered, dust and broken stones flying everywhere.
Icy killing intent enveloped Duanmu Wan, draining her face white in an instant. If she had moved even a fraction faster, or if Chu Tian had raised his head a single centimeter higher, the gaze that pierced through the air would have pierced her chest—or even her head.
At that moment, Hui Mei stepped in front of Duanmu Wan, his bewitching little face unusually solemn.
"You're from the Cihang Sacred Sect. You dare stop me?" Duanmu Wan said coldly, though she took the opportunity to halt. She had already done what she needed to do. Chu Tian, who could wield spiritual power and divine abilities, was monstrously strong—not someone she could contend with now.
"No. I can't stop someone determined to die." Hui Mei shook his head, his bewitching little face deadly serious. "I want to ask you a very urgent question. The answer is extremely important to me. If you tell me, you'll surely be richly rewarded in the future."
"What question?" Seeing Hui Mei so solemn, Duanmu Wan felt a flicker of curiosity.
"Tell me, how did you make this part so full?" Hui Mei raised a hand and pointed, his expression incomparably grave.
He had suddenly realized that he particularly liked this sort of full figure. Although his goal had not changed because of it—he still wanted to pursue his cousin—he felt this was important too. Therefore, he believed he had the responsibility to obtain the method from Duanmu Wan and tell his senior sister about it later.
"Bastard!"
"Bald Pervert, you're courting death!"
Duanmu Wan exploded with rage, her hair nearly standing on end. She slapped him across the face, then kicked Hui Mei to the ground. She could not handle Chu Tian, but could she not handle this little bald head? At such a young age, he actually dared flirt with her. She immediately vented all her fury on Hui Mei.
Back in the Body Tempering Realm, she had been a monstrous genius ranked among the top five on the Bone Forging Ranking. Now that she had broken through to the Body Integration Realm, her physical strength was far greater than Hui Mei's, and she pinned him down and beat him viciously.
"Chu Tian, you don't dare kill me, you don't dare kill me..." Ye Feng's face was covered in blood, his expression savage.
Smack!
Suddenly, Chu Tian kicked him in the mouth. Ye Feng let out a miserable howl, but he could no longer speak, because every tooth in his mouth—even his tongue—had been ruined by that kick.
The people around them stood with their mouths hanging open, staring blankly at the Little Holy Son as chills continuously crawled up their spines.
"I said your end in the Sacred Heaven Pool would be even worse."
Chu Tian's expression remained calm. He sat cross-legged in the pool of blood beside Ye Feng, locked Ye Feng down with a thread of spiritual power, then closed his eyes and began comprehending the Dao intent within the Sacred Heaven Pool, tempering his body and spirit.
He had experienced far too many storms of blood and wind. He had even lain in ambush beneath piles of corpses for three days. This little pool of blood was child's play to him.
Chu Tian did not waste a single word on Ye Feng, because there was no need. He only needed to restrain Ye Feng and prevent him from using the Sacred Heaven Pool's Dao intent to cultivate.
From beginning to end, his goal had been to break through to the Spirit Refining Realm within the Sacred Heaven Pool, comprehend the Supreme Yin-Yang Dao Art, condense the Yin Yang Dao Seed, and reverse the primary and secondary relationship between Eldest Sister and Ye Feng.
In an instant, the transition from earth-shaking roars, surging Dao intent, and a giant hand spanning the sky to deathly silence was complete.
The people in the plaza were horrified. Looking at Chu Tian, sitting cross-legged in the pool of blood with a calm face as he began cultivating, they felt their scalps tighten as though they were about to explode.
To them, the Little Holy Son no longer resembled the heir of a righteous sect at all. Instead, he seemed like a Demon God reincarnated after slaughtering countless lives.
At this moment, Duanmu Wan was pinning Hui Mei down and beating him. When she turned and saw that Chu Tian had not killed Ye Feng, she let out a slight sigh of relief.
Otherwise, if the Little Holy Son openly killed the sect master's son, with both of them being young masters of two Founding Families, she truly did not dare imagine what terrifying events might follow.
Civil war between the two Founding Families and the sect splitting apart were both possible.
"Little pervert, keep that mouth of yours clean from now on, or else your end..." Duanmu Wan sneered twice. Looking at Hui Mei's bruised and swollen face, she waved her fist, making the scene before her chest surge magnificently once more. Hui Mei's eyes went straight at the sight.
He dearly wanted to call Duanmu Wan back and have her pin him down and beat him a little longer, but she had already risen, found a place to sit, and closed her eyes to cultivate.
Even for descendants of top-tier families, the chance to enter the Sacred Heaven Pool was extremely precious. Otherwise, Chu Tianyun would not have used it to trade with Chu Tian for the Creation Divine Pill.
The male and female geniuses and older powerhouses in the plaza also relaxed. With the battle temporarily over, they each found a place to cultivate. If not for the enormous commotion Chu Tian had caused, and the plaza being so small, no one would have been willing to waste even a single moment.
Hui Mei, his face bruised and swollen, walked over to Chu Tian. Seeing Ye Feng sprawled like mud, his eyes filled with venomous hatred, he immediately kicked him several times.
"Trash, what are you acting so arrogant for? Look at how capable you are. Go on, have your father dare come harm me again."
