The Second Elder wanted to say something, but Ye Lan stopped him with a gesture. Seeing this, the Second Elder had no choice but to shut up.
Ye Lan turned to look at Su Chen, as did the other elders.
Surrounded by so many powerful and noble figures, Su Chen seemed to be in an empty world, neither humble nor arrogant, his spine straight and his expression calm, like a deep, still lake.
The Second Elder nodded and smiled, "Not bad, not bad."
The other elders also showed expressions of satisfaction.
Ye Lan looked at Su Chen and smiled slightly, "You really are just as your mother described."
Su Chen did not respond.
Ye Lan didn't care. He glanced at Mu Xingyun at Su Chen's feet and then said, "Can you let him go?"
Su Chen calmly said, "I have a question for you."
Ye Lan nodded and said, "Ask."
Su Chen asked, "If I am no match for him and am about to be killed by him, would you be willing to intervene?"
Ye Lan answered without hesitation, "I'm willing."
Su Chen nodded, then continued, "What if I were just an ordinary person? Would you still be willing?"
Ye Lan frowned and fell silent.
"Hehe."
Su Chen sneered and suddenly stomped his right foot. With a loud "bang," Mu Xingyun's head was crushed, and blood and brain matter sprayed everywhere, but Su Chen was not touched at all.
Upon seeing this, the disciples below the stage gasped in astonishment, their faces filled with disbelief.
"Holy crap, he actually dared to kill!"
"How dare he kill Senior Brother Mu in front of the Sect Master and the Grand Elder? He's got some nerve! Doesn't he value his life?"
"Although this person possesses monstrous talent for cultivation, he seems to be a hothead."
Ye Ningshuang's heart tightened, and she said worriedly, "This guy actually killed Mu Xingyun. Doesn't he know the consequences of doing this?"
The dozens of the Azure Mist Immortal Sect Elders were taken aback at first, then fell silent.
Like the other disciples, they never expected that Su Chen would actually dare to kill Mu Xingyun.
Gu Changfeng's face was ashen, his heart filled with boundless rage. He glared at Su Chen, his entire body radiating killing intent, but he didn't make a move. Instead, he looked at Ye Lan and said, "Sect Master, please give me an explanation."
Ye Lan did not respond. Gazing at Mu Xingyun's corpse, she shook her head and sighed softly. She then looked up at the calm-faced Su Chen, "You shouldn't have killed him."
Su Chen said calmly, "If you have someone to blame, blame him for wanting to kill me. If he didn't want to kill me, he would give you face and spare his life."
At this point, he looked at Gu Changfeng in the distance and calmly said, "I advise you to put away your killing intent, or I guarantee I'll immediately reunite you with your disciple."
"Holy crap! He's actually threatening the Grand Elder!"
"Awesome! I've never seen such an amazing young man before, he's absolutely incredible!"
"I'm so impressed, I don't even need to lean on a wall!"
The disciples were dumbfounded.
Gu Changfeng could no longer hold back; veins bulged on his forehead, and his internal power surged, as if he would lose control at any moment.
The second elder then said, "Little fellow, stop talking."
Su Chen glanced at him but didn't say anything.
Ye Lan frowned, feeling somewhat dissatisfied with Su Chen.
The main problem is that Su Chen is too arrogant and lacks the demeanor expected of a prodigy. Even if someone has extraordinary talent, they probably won't achieve much in the future.
Su Chen naturally sensed Ye Lan's dissatisfaction, but he didn't care and his expression remained calm.
Suddenly, Ye Ningshuang walked towards the Life and Death Platform, grabbed Su Chen's hand, and ran off the arena.
"Presumptuous!"
Gu Changfeng could no longer bear it. He roared, and a terrifying aura spread out, enveloping the world. The disciples below the stage changed their expressions, and a sense of fear arose in their hearts.
Ye Lan did not stop Ye Ningshuang from leaving with Su Chen, but watched quietly, finally shaking his head and saying, "That girl."
As he spoke, he slowly turned around, looked at Gu Changfeng, whose face was full of anger, and calmly said, "Elder, let it go."
"Sect Master!" Gu Changfeng shouted angrily, unwilling to accept defeat.
Ye Lan put his hands behind his back and continued, "I said forget it."
These four short words are filled with supreme authority.
Gu Changfeng gritted his teeth, filled with resentment, but still managed to suppress the terrifying aura that was spreading around him.
All the disciples suddenly felt as if they had come back to life, panting heavily, their faces pale and their foreheads covered in cold sweat.
That aura was terrifying; they all thought they were going to die.
Ye Ningshuang led Su Chen all the way to the outside of the Azure Mist Immortal Sect before stopping.
She turned to look at Su Chen, and said resentfully, " Mu Xingyun, you really dare to kill? You don't even consider the consequences."
Su Chen smiled and said, "He wants to kill me, so naturally I will kill him."
Ye Ningshuang opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she didn't utter a single word. Because if she were facing someone who wanted to kill her, she wouldn't hesitate to kill them as well, so what could she possibly say?
"Well."
Ye Ningshuang sighed softly, "The Grand Elder will definitely not let this go."
Su Chen calmly said, "If he dares to cause me trouble, I wouldn't hesitate to kill him."
Ye Ningshuang rolled her eyes. "What a braggart."
Su Chen smiled but didn't explain anything.
Ye Ningshuang said, "Stay by my side during this time. Remember, you are not allowed to leave my side for even a moment. That way, if the Grand Elder comes looking for trouble, I can protect you."
Su Chen smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid he'll attack you too?"
Ye Ningshuang said, "He wouldn't dare! If he dares to lay a hand on me, my father won't let him get away with it."
Su Chen smiled and nodded, "Alright, from now on I'll sleep with you and never leave your side."
Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Ye Ningshuang's face, but she didn't say anything. She just snorted softly and then left with Su Chen.
At night, a gentle breeze, carrying a slight chill, rustled the leaves.
In the Azure Mist Immortal Sect, inside a grand hall, the First Elder, Gu Changfeng, sat quietly in the main seat, his expression terrifyingly gloomy, his eyes revealing intense killing intent.
At that moment, a mysterious figure dressed in black robes suddenly appeared in the center of the hall. He knelt on one knee, bowed his head, and respectfully said, "Elder, the person has been found."
Gu Changfeng asked coldly, "Where?"
The mysterious figure replied, " Luo City."
Gu Changfeng frowned. "What are they doing over there?"
The mysterious man said, "I heard there's going to be an auction soon. That's probably why they're going there."
Gu Changfeng pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand, you may leave."
"Yes, sir!"
The mysterious man nodded, and his figure disappeared into the hall.
"Snort!"
After the mysterious man left, Gu Changfeng snorted coldly, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and said, " Su Chen, is it? You dared to kill my disciple, I will make you pay a heavy price."
"Oh? Is that so? In that case, I'd like to see what price you'll make me pay."
Suddenly, a calm and steady voice echoed throughout the entire hall...
