A Mere Golden Core, Yet You Want to Play the Hero Rescuing the Beauty?
Just as Chen Changqing was observing...
The old man at the Purple Mansion Realm unleashed a palm strike, his palm swirling with silver light, as if a galaxy were collapsing.
He thrust out his palm silently.
Upon closer inspection, the woman, who was already under attack, let out a muffled groan, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, and flew straight backward.
Just as the old man from the Purple Mansion and the others were about to continue attacking the woman, the richly dressed young man who had been watching from the sidelines suddenly shouted to stop them:
"Stop!"
The old man and the others were taken aback, and then they all stopped.
At this moment, the elegantly dressed young man stood up and stepped forward:
"Little girl!"
"Surrender at once!"
"Let this young master pamper you properly."
"If they insist on resisting stubbornly, they may perish here today."
As he said this, the boy's eyes were full of lewdness, clearly showing that he was lustful towards the woman.
"Pah!"
Upon hearing this, the woman glared coldly at the boy and angrily rebuked him:
"I am a disciple of Mount Shu. How dare you lay a hand on me? Aren't you afraid of offending the Shu Mountain Sacred Land?"
The woman revealed her origins, intending to intimidate the young man and his companions with the prestige of Mount Shu.
After all, Mount Shu is one of the Ten Great Orthodox Sacred Lands.
"Ha ha!"
To the woman's surprise, the young man remained unmoved after hearing what she said; instead, he burst into laughter.
"So what if it's the Shu Mountain Sacred Land?"
"This is the Universe Secret Realm."
"Before entering the Secret Realm, everyone signed an agreement stating that once Secret Realm, their lives would be at stake!"
At this point, the young man paused slightly, a sinister smile playing on his lips, and continued:
"Furthermore, if you die here, there will be no way to prove it."
"So what if the Shu Mountain Sacred Land is powerful? If we can't find out who did it, it's all useless."
The woman turned red with anger after hearing the boy's words.
At this moment, the boy continued:
"So, you'd better just give in to me."
"If you please me, I might spare your life!"
Upon hearing this, the woman's face turned even more grim, and she resolutely said:
"Keep dreaming!"
"Even if I die today, I will not let you succeed!"
Upon hearing the woman's reply, the smile on the young man's face vanished instantly, replaced by a cold glint.
"Good!"
"Since you refuse to listen to reason and are forced to drink the penalty cup, then don't blame this young master for being ruthless."
Having said that, the young man turned his gaze to the old man with the Purple Mansion and shouted:
"Elder Teng, seize her!"
"Yes, young master!"
The old man from the Purple Mansion bowed in agreement, then fixed his gaze on the woman.
"It is your good fortune that my young master has taken a liking to you."
"Since you don't appreciate it, then don't blame this old man!"
Before he could finish speaking, the old man from the Purple Mansion flashed and instantly appeared in front of the woman.
"Hateful!"
Upon seeing the old man from the Purple Mansion appear before her, the woman was furious, but inwardly she felt utterly helpless.
She had already exhausted too much of her True Qi in the previous exchange.
Moreover, facing a Late Purple Mansion Stage Realm expert left her severely injured.
Now, she is no longer able to fight.
"I wonder if any other Mount Shu disciples have entered the Universe Secret Realm this time?"
"If they see my distress signal, perhaps they can come to my aid."
The woman prayed silently.
But upon further reflection, despair once again enveloped the depths of his heart.
Putting everything else aside, the old man in front of them was at the Late Purple Mansion Stage.
Even if disciples from Mount Shu did come to their aid, they might not be a match for them.
After all, there are cultivation level restrictions for entering the Universe Secret Realm; one cannot exceed the Nascent Soul stage.
That's why the young man acted without any scruples, relying on the protection of a Late Purple Mansion Stage Cultivator by his side.
Just as the woman was lost in thought, the old man surnamed Teng frowned and struck her with his palm.
"Boom!"
With a single palm strike, the world lost its color, vegetation withered, and rocks crumbled.
As the terrifying palm force hurtled towards her, the woman was filled with utter despair.
"Am I really going to die here...?"
The woman uttered a soft sound, slowly closed her eyes, and prepared to face death.
But at this critical moment, a shout suddenly rang out from the sky:
"How dare you! You dare to injure my Mount Shu disciples?"
"Call out!"
As the words echoed, a sharp Sword-Ray suddenly arrived, directly cleaving the palm force of the old man from the Purple Mansion.
"Bang!"
A deafening roar resounded, sending dust billowing into the air.
This sudden scene shocked everyone present, and they all turned to look in the direction of the sound.
Upon closer inspection, a figure could be seen standing in mid-air.
This man was handsome and dashing, his robes fluttering in the wind, his eyes sharp as lightning.
Who else could it be but Chen Changqing, who rushed to the scene after seeing the woman's distress signal?
Upon hearing this noise, the woman was thrilled. She suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Chen Changqing with great surprise.
At the same time, the old man from the Purple Mansion, the young man in fine clothes, and others all turned to look at them.
"A mere Golden Core cultivator?"
The old man from the Purple Mansion glanced at Chen Changqing and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
They initially thought it was a powerful expert from Mount Shu coming to their aid, but it turned out to be just a Golden Core Stage cultivator.
Besides, the elegantly dressed youth and the others also scoffed at this.
"Ha ha!"
"A mere Golden Core Realm dares to act so arrogantly?"
"I thought some important VIP had arrived, and this is all?"
"This guy is really courting death!"
"How could a mere Golden Core cultivator like him possibly interfere in matters here?"
"..."
The crowd mocked and ridiculed him relentlessly, completely disregarding Chen Changqing.
"Um?"
The woman's expression turned strange when she saw Chen Changqing.
To her surprise, there were actually other Mount Shu disciples within the Universe Secret Realm.
However, Chen Changqing's cultivation level was only at the Late Golden Core stage.
Even if they arrived in time, it would be too late.
Thinking of these things, the woman's brows furrowed even more deeply.
The elegantly dressed youth glanced at Chen Changqing with disdain and sneered, and said mockingly:
"How?"
"A mere Golden Core cultivator dares to try and play the hero and rescue a damsel in distress?"
"If you know what's good for you, get out of here right now!"
"Otherwise, I'll kill you too today."
What the elegantly dressed boy didn't expect was...
Chen Changqing completely ignored what he said and didn't even look at him properly.
The next moment, he stretched out his body and flew straight down towards the woman.
After landing, Chen Changqing smiled faintly and looked at the woman.
Only upon closer inspection did one realize that the woman was stunningly beautiful, with a delicate, straight nose and lips as red as cinnabar.
At this moment, her beautiful face, slightly pale from surviving the ordeal, appeared even more charming.
Her long, black hair cascaded down her back, loosely tied up with a simple white jade hairpin, with a few stray strands falling beside her ears.
After a brief look, Chen Changqing spoke first:
Are you alright?
Upon hearing Chen Changqing's question, the woman snapped out of her daze and replied:
"I'm fine."
"It's you..."
The woman looked at this unfamiliar fellow disciple with a puzzled expression.
Logically speaking, a disciple at the Late Golden Core should be quite famous in Mount Shu, but she didn't recognize this person.
