Everyone in the room froze, as if they had been frozen in place. However, they quickly recovered, and their faces were filled with fear. Some of the more timid ones' legs buckled, and they knelt down.
Instant kill!
Commander Jiang was instantly defeated!
Holy crap!
How is that possible!
Commander Jiang is Nine-Star Great Emperor!
The Nine-Star Great Emperor was instantly killed!
Even though it was a sneak attack, it shouldn't have resulted in an instant kill, right?
Holy crap!
Outrageous!
Someone's throat tightened, and they said in a trembling voice, "He... he can't be a god, can he?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's mind went blank.
Immortal?
Holy crap!
That's quite possible!
If he weren't a celestial being, how could he have instantly killed Commander Jiang?
At that moment, everyone's eyes held not only fear, but also awe.
Even in White Jade City, there are only two immortals. One of them is Qin Shi, and the other immortal is someone they have only heard of but never seen. However, now, there is someone who seems to be an immortal standing in front of them!
Immortal!
He was a figure at the very top of the entire Lower Immortal Realm.
No one can help but revere a deity!
Unless you have a death wish!
Qin Yao was stunned, as if struck by lightning.
She didn't expect Su Chen to make a sudden move, and Su Chen to be able to kill Commander Jiang in an instant!
Qin Zixuan was also shocked, but she quickly calmed down.
Back in the Emperor's Road, she had witnessed Su Chen's methods. At that time, she really had no ability to resist and could only let Su Chen manipulate her. From then on, she guessed that Su Chen was definitely not simple.
Furthermore, the methods Su Chen used at the Bright Moon Pavilion were even more powerful than her father's.
Her father was also an immortal! Someone Qin Shi was enough to show that Su Chen was no ordinary being.
Su Chen glanced at Qin Zixuan, then turned and disappeared.
Seeing Su Chen leave, no one in the arena dared to stop him.
Block a celestial being?
Are you looking for death?
One of the men asked, puzzled, "Where did the city lord go?"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room immediately looked puzzled.
yes!
Where is the city lord?
How could he not know that such a big thing had happened in White Jade City?
Qin Yao looked in the direction Su Chen had left with a complicated expression, then shook her head. She then looked at the crowd and calmly said, "You may all leave."
With that, she took Qin Zixuan's hand and disappeared from the spot.
Everyone in the room looked at each other, discussing amongst themselves.
"It's been countless years since anything like this has happened in White Jade City. However, what puzzles me is why the city lord hasn't shown himself. Is he perhaps wary of that person's power?"
"How could the city lord possibly be afraid? You must know, the city lord is also an immortal."
"That's true."
"The Holy Son of Lingxiao was killed by that great man. Do you think the Lingxiao Holy Land will let him go?"
"I don't think so. You know, there are two immortals in the Lingxiao Holy Land. Even if that man is an immortal, he can't withstand the pursuit of two immortals, right?"
"That's hard to say. Didn't you see that the lord is very young? How could such a young immortal not have powerful backing?"
One day later.
Lingxiao Holy Land.
On a mountain peak stood a magnificent golden palace, where all the elders of the Lingxiao Holy Land were gathered.
At the very top of the main hall sat a middle-aged man with graying temples and deep-set eyes that made it difficult to look him directly in the eye.
Lord Ye Qiu of the Lingxiao Holy Land!
Ye Qiu's expression was not good at the moment. He looked at an elder and said coldly, "Elder, have you found out the truth?"
The Grand Elder nodded and said, "It's been investigated. The Holy Son died in White Jade City, and the person who killed him..."
He paused for a moment, then said, "The person who killed the Holy Son might be a False Immortal."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiu's eyes narrowed slightly, " False Immortal?"
The other elders also became solemn.
The Grand Elder nodded and said, "Yes, because he instantly killed a Nine-Star Great Emperor."
Human Heart in the room was taken aback.
To instantly kill a Nine-Star Great Emperor is something only False Immortal could do.
Ye Qiu's face was ashen.
A False Immortal, that's tough.
After a moment's thought, he asked, "Have you found any information about him?"
The Grand Elder shook his head and said, "There is absolutely no information about him in the entire Lower Immortal Realm. He seems to have appeared out of nowhere. I suspect that he may have come from the Upper Immortal Realm."
After hearing the Grand Elder's words, all the elders were shocked.
Descended from the Upper Immortal Realm?
That's definitely not someone they can afford to mess with!
An elder immediately stepped forward and said, "Holy Lord, let's just let this matter rest."
"Yeah, forget it."
"So what if the Holy Son is dead? Our Lingxiao Holy Land has countless geniuses and prodigies; it's not like we can't find another Holy Son."
The other elders also chimed in.
Ye Qiu clenched his fists and said grimly, "Are we just going to let this go like this?"
Sigh~
All the elders sighed inwardly.
If we don't let it go, what can we do? Go and seek revenge? Are you kidding me? Is revenge even possible? If they dared to seek revenge, their Lingxiao Holy Land would be finished.
The Grand Elder suddenly said, "The Holy Son died in White Jade City. I think we can go and talk to City Lord Qin."
Ye Qiu looked at the Grand Elder, "What do you mean?"
The Grand Elder said, "Seeking revenge on that person is definitely out of the question. However, nurturing the Holy Son consumed a great deal of resources from our Lingxiao Saint. In order to ensure that we suffer no losses, we can seek some compensation from Qin Shi. After all, the Holy Son died in White Jade City."
Ye Qiu asked doubtfully, "Do we need compensation?"
The Grand Elder nodded and said, "Yes."
Ye Qiu remained silent.
The solution provided by the Grand Elder is already the best possible one.
After a moment of silence, he asked, "How much compensation would be appropriate?"
The Grand Elder calmly stated, "Eighty percent of the treasures in his City Lord's Manor!"
All the elders were taken aback.
80% of the treasures?
That would practically empty the City Lord's Manor, wouldn't it?
Ye Qiu asked, "What if he doesn't offer compensation?"
The Grand Elder narrowed his eyes. "Then there's no need for this White Jade City to exist."
Ye Qiu said, "With us?"
The Grand Elder said, "Doesn't White Jade City have a grudge against the Evil Sect?"
Ye Qiu looked at the Grand Elder, "Join forces?"
The Grand Elder nodded and said, "Yes."
Ye Qiu pondered for a moment, then said, "Alright, then I'll trouble you to go to White Jade City."
The elder nodded, then turned and disappeared.
The City Lord's Manor.
Inside the main hall, Qin Shi's expression was unusually grave, and he remained silent.
Qin Yao and Qin Zixuan looked at Qin Shi with equally heavy and complicated expressions.
"Sigh~"
Qin Shi sighed, "I never expected such a big thing to happen during the few days I was at the Lingxiao Holy Land trying to annul the engagement."
Qin Yao and Qin Zixuan remained silent.
Qin Shi added, "I never expected that kid to be a False Immortal. It really surprised me."
Qin Zixuan suddenly asked, "Father, Gu Hengsheng is dead. Will the Lingxiao Holy Land retaliate?"
Qin Shi was silent for a moment, then said, "They probably won't retaliate against that kid."
Qin Zixuan was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
Qin Shi explained, "That kid is False Immortal. False Immortal are very hard to find if they hide. Sigh~"
He then let out a long sigh.
Qin Yao asked, "Father, what's wrong?"
Qin Shi said, "That kid killed Gu Hengsheng, which is tantamount to slapping the face of the Lingxiao Holy Land. To save face, the Lingxiao Holy Land will definitely not let this go. But they can't find that kid. What do you think the Lingxiao Holy Land will do?"
Qin Yao and Qin Zixuan lowered their heads in thought.
Qin Shi shook his head and continued, "If the Lingxiao Holy Land can't find that kid, they'll definitely come looking for me."
Qin Yao frowned. "What do you want? It's not like you killed Gu Hengsheng."
Qin Shi said, "Because Gu Hengsheng died in our White Jade City!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yao fell silent.
Qin Zixuan then asked, "What does the Lingxiao Holy Land want?"
Qin Shi shook his head and said, "I don't know, so I need to go to the Lingxiao Holy Land again to ask them how to resolve this."
