The Purple Bamboo Daoist was brimming with confidence. He did not believe for a moment that Daochen would dare attack him right outside the Purple Heavens Palace.
This was the Purple Heavens Palace, where Dao Ancestor Hongjun presided, and he was the first Great Luo Golden Immortal to pledge allegiance to the Eastern Prince after his appointment.
With such a special status, even the Three Pure Ones would have to think twice before crossing him.
Let alone Daochen, who had no one backing him.
"Do you really think I won't touch you?"
Daochen frowned, his cold gaze settling on the Purple Bamboo High Person.
"Hahaha! So what if I do? Would you really dare attack me, Daochen?"
The Purple Bamboo High Person pointed at Daochen and roared with laughter.
"Heh. Is that so?"
Daochen chuckled. In the next instant, his figure abruptly blurred. A golden streak flashed, and a moment later, he had swept past the Eastern Prince and appeared before the Purple Bamboo High Person.
He raised his hand, seized the Purple Bamboo High Person by the throat, and hoisted him high, Golden Crow Divine Flame curling around his hand.
Bzzzt!
A low hum swept outward. In the blink of an eye, the Purple Bamboo High Person had become a burning figure, flames consuming him in the void.
"How dare you!"
Seeing Daochen strike so brazenly, without the slightest hesitation, a flicker of anger crossed the Eastern Prince's face.
Hongjun had just appointed him Chief Male Immortal of the Primordial World. In the days ahead, he would establish his own faction and govern the Primordial World.
Yet Daochen dared to kill his subordinate so recklessly right before his eyes. This was nothing less than a vicious slap across his face.
