They steadied themselves and stared gravely at Su Chen. They hadn't expected him to be so strong. With a single punch, he had knocked them back.
That was truly beyond their expectations.
They had thought he was a newbie they could toy with at will, but he turned out to be a big shot!
But since they had already made their move, there was nothing more to say.
Their leader said in a deep voice, "Everyone, come out! Attack together!"
Crack!
Countless spaces around them shattered, and over a thousand experts in golden armor emerged. Their presence was no weaker than that of the ten experts!
"Attack!"
Someone shouted, and several thousand people charged at Su Chen with terrifying momentum!
Su Chen's mouth twitched. "So that's how you want to play?"
He shook his head slightly, raised his right hand, and slowly pressed it down.
Boom!
The several thousand experts immediately fell to their knees.
Everyone present was petrified, their faces full of disbelief.
They were actually kneeling!
How was that possible?!
Su Chen looked in a certain direction and said calmly, "Are you still not coming out?"
As soon as he finished speaking, space in the distance suddenly shattered, and dozens of figures emerged. A middle-aged man led them.
The middle-aged man wore a golden robe and had a dignified appearance, with piercing eyes and golden light of the Great Dao swirling around him.
The moment he emerged, the space of heaven and earth around him began to boil like hot water.
Nangong Po, patriarch of the Nangong Clan!
At that moment, Nangong Po was far from calm. Su Chen had just suppressed the Nangong Clan's experts with a casual gesture!
Even if Nangong Po had done it himself, there was no way he could have done it so easily.
Su Chen looked at Nangong Po and said, "You're the patriarch of the Nangong Clan?"
Nangong Po nodded. "I am. May I ask what brings you to my Nangong Clan?"
Su Chen sneered. "Your Nangong Clan's people certainly have a temper. They attacked without a word."
Nangong Po frowned and shot the golden-armored experts a cold glance.
The golden-armored experts trembled all over and silently lowered their heads, not daring to meet Nangong Po's gaze.
Nangong Po cupped his fists. "I failed to keep them in line. My apologies."
Su Chen nodded. "Good thing you're different from these idiots. Otherwise, your Nangong Clan would be finished."
The several thousand golden-armored experts abruptly looked up at Su Chen, anger burning in their eyes. Dozens of them even showed a trace of killing intent.
Snap!
Su Chen snapped his fingers.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Dozens of golden-armored experts suddenly exploded and died!
Su Chen said calmly, "Sorry, I hate it when people show killing intent toward me."
Hearing that, the several thousand golden-armored experts trembled violently and stared at Su Chen in terror.
Nangong Po wasn't angry. Instead, he nodded and said, "They deserved to die."
The corners of Su Chen's mouth lifted slightly. "You're doing a good job as patriarch."
With that, he flicked two fingers, sending a streak of light flying toward Nangong Po.
Nangong Po reached out and caught the streak of light. He opened his palm and frowned.
It was a seed.
Su Chen said, "I killed some of your Nangong Clan's people, so take this Dao Comprehension Tree seed as compensation."
A Dao Comprehension Tree seed!
Everyone present was shocked.
Holy shit!
He was that generous?
He was just giving away a Dao Comprehension Tree seed?
There wasn't a single Dao Comprehension Tree in the entire Immortal Realm now!
Nangong Po was also astonished. He looked at Su Chen and said in a deep voice, "This is far too valuable."
Su Chen said disdainfully, "It's just a Dao Comprehension Tree seed. What's so valuable about it?"
Everyone: "..."
They suspected Su Chen was showing off, but they had no proof.
Su Chen continued, "All right, I came to tell you something. I want to take your daughter, Nangong Guyue, as my disciple. Any problem with that?"
"Little Yue?"
Nangong Po frowned, but immediately caught on and hurriedly said, "It would be my daughter's honor to become your disciple, sir."
Sir?
Everyone glanced at Nangong Po.
Su Chen nodded. "As long as you agree, I'll be going."
Nangong Po said, "Sir, why not stay for a cup of tea before you leave?"
Su Chen shook his head. "No need."
With that, he vanished from where he stood.
At that moment, the Nangong Clan's grand elder walked over to Nangong Po. "Patriarch..."
Before he could finish, Nangong Po raised a hand to stop him. "Don't ask, and don't investigate. An existence like that isn't someone we can pry into. For Little Yue to become his disciple is a fortuitous opportunity."
The grand elder fell silent for a moment, then nodded.
Nangong Po added, "There's no need for those ten to remain alive."
With that, he took a step forward and disappeared.
Ancient Moon Peak
Seeing that Su Chen still hadn't returned after a long time, Nangong Guyue decided not to wait any longer. She was just about to leave when he suddenly appeared.
He looked at Nangong Guyue and smiled. "Your father agreed."
Nangong Guyue frowned. "He agreed? How is that possible?!"
Clearly, she didn't believe him.
Su Chen said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask your father."
Nangong Guyue hesitated, then a sound transmission stone appeared in her hand. As soon as she activated it, Nangong Po's voice came from it. "I know what you're going to say. Stay close to that sir and behave yourself."
Sir?
Nangong Guyue's expression grew serious, and stormy waves surged in her heart. She looked at Su Chen.
What kind of existence could make her father address him as sir?
Su Chen smiled. "Do you believe me now?"
Nangong Guyue remained silent.
As time passed, Su Chen suddenly said, "Forget it. You can go."
He was tired.
He had kept bootlicking someone to get her to become his disciple, and she still wasn't willing. He truly found it disgusting.
Since you don't want to be my disciple, then don't!
If not for the system mission, he would have stopped putting up with it long ago!
Damn it!
Nangong Guyue nodded. "I'm sorry."
With that, she turned and left.
Nangong Guyue went somewhere secluded and took out the sound transmission stone again. She hesitated for a moment, then activated it.
Nangong Po's voice immediately came from the stone. "What's wrong?"
Nangong Guyue said, "Father, why did you agree to let me become his disciple?"
No more sound came from the stone. Nangong Guyue waited quietly, and after a while, Nangong Po said, "Do you know what he did when he came to our Nangong Clan?"
Nangong Guyue asked in confusion, "What?"
Nangong Po replied, "He directly suppressed several thousand of our clan's experts!"
Nangong Guyue was shocked. "How is that possible?"
She knew just how terrifying her clan's experts were.
Nangong Po said, "Would I lie to you? Not only that, he casually gave me a Dao Comprehension Tree seed. Do you understand what that means?"
"What?!"
Nangong Guyue cried out in shock.
A Dao Comprehension Tree seed!
Nangong Po then said, "So stay close to him and behave yourself. This is your fortuitous opportunity, understand?"
Nangong Guyue fell silent. At that moment, she felt a faint trace of regret.
Nangong Po seemed to sense that something was wrong with Nangong Guyue. "What's wrong?"
Nangong Guyue was silent for a moment. "I refused to become his disciple."
"What did you say?!"
Hearing that, Nangong Po immediately flew into a rage.
