Just as he turned around, a flash of sword light suddenly pierced his glabella. A trickle of blood flowed from between his brows, and his body plummeted straight from the air before crashing heavily to the ground.
Silence-
The surroundings were deathly quiet.
Everyone stood rooted to the spot.
He... killed him?
Peak Master Su killed Peak Master You?
And in an instant?
Holy shit!
What a badass!
Just then, four powerful figures appeared in the air, standing opposite Su Chen.
Xia Meng stood at their head. Behind her were Chen Hong, Peak Master of Pill Peak; Lu Pingchuan, Peak Master of Formation Peak; and An Lan, Peak Master of Artifact Peak.
Xia Meng glanced at You An's lifeless corpse, then looked at Su Chen. "You acted rashly."
Su Chen said calmly, "There was killing intent in his eyes. If I didn't kill him, he would have killed me later. That's called taking emergency action to avoid danger."
Emergency action to avoid danger!
Xia Meng's delicate brows knitted slightly. She stared at Su Chen without speaking.
Ten thousand horses galloped through her heart!
Emergency action to avoid danger, my fucking ass!
Chen Hong said angrily, "You've been at the Star Holy Land for less than a day, and you've already killed three of our people. Who gave you the guts?!"
Su Chen looked at Chen Hong but said nothing.
Chen Hong shuddered all over and couldn't help swallowing.
Only now did he remember that Su Chen was someone who had just killed You An in an instant!
Holy shit!
He shouldn't have opened his mouth. He'd been careless!
The other two Peak Masters were also angry but dared not speak.
Whenever they thought of what had just happened, their hearts quailed.
This young man was too terrifying!
Xia Meng suddenly said, "The households behind Jiang Qisheng and You An are only one tier below the Star Holy Land. You killed them, so the You Household and the Jiang Household will definitely come looking for revenge."
Su Chen clasped his hands behind his back and nodded. "That makes sense. Since they'll come looking for revenge..."
As he spoke, he looked toward the horizon and said calmly, "Attend me!"
As soon as his voice fell, space suddenly shattered. Wave after wave of terrifying presence poured from the shattered space and spread across the sky, making everyone's scalps tingle and their hearts tremble.
Immediately afterward, several figures flew out of the shattered space and stopped in front of Su Chen.
These people all wore black robes and masks. Heaven and earth could barely withstand the presence they gave off; it seemed that if they made a casual move, they could destroy everything!
Just then, they suddenly dropped to one knee and cried out respectfully, "Emperor!"
Everyone in the Star Holy Land, including Xia Meng and the three Peak Masters, was dumbfounded. Every face turned pale, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.
The pressure from the black-robed figures was overwhelming!
Now, they were extremely curious about Su Chen's identity. What kind of existence could command such terrifying followers?
This was fucking absurd!
Su Chen said calmly, "Exterminate nine generations of the Jiang Household and the You Household."
His tone was bland, as though he were speaking of some trivial matter.
"As you command!"
All the black-robed figures shattered space and vanished!
The terrifying presence they exuded vanished with them, and everyone in the Star Holy Land breathed a sigh of relief.
That was fucking terrifying!
That very day, a group of mysterious black-robed figures exterminated nine generations of the Jiang Household and the You Household. Neither household had the slightest ability to resist; it was a complete massacre!
Su Chen looked at Xia Meng and said mildly, "Now there's no need to worry about anyone coming for revenge. Thank you for the reminder."
With that, he clasped his hands behind his back and flew down.
The corner of Xia Meng's mouth twitched. She didn't know what to say.
Everyone watched Su Chen leave in awe.
In their eyes, Su Chen was now shrouded in mystery.
Su Chen went over to Ye Lingxi and picked her up. "You must be hungry, right? I'll take you to get something delicious."
Ye Lingxi nodded, then asked curiously, "Brother, are you the young master of some great household?"
Su Chen laughed. "You only need to remember that I'm your brother. Understand?"
Ye Lingxi blinked. "Got it!"
Xia Meng and the three Peak Masters came to the main hall of Stars Peak.
Lu Pingchuan said gravely, "Holy Lord, Su Chen has been at the Holy Land for less than a day, yet he's already killed three people, including a Peak Master and a Grand Elder. Are we just going to let this go?"
The other two Peak Masters also looked at Xia Meng.
Xia Meng said helplessly, "What else can we do? Do you actually want to drive him out of the Star Holy Land? If you have the courage, go ahead. I certainly won't stop you. Don't worry, I'll collect your corpses afterward."
The three Peak Masters fell silent.
They really didn't dare. They were afraid they'd drop dead before they could even finish speaking.
They were young and didn't want to die yet!
Xia Meng suddenly said, "All right. Su Chen's identity is a mystery. Our little Holy Land can't afford to provoke him. I doubt he'll stay long before leaving. Also, don't provoke him. Go back to your peaks."
The three Peak Masters were silent for a moment, then nodded, turned, and left.
Soon, Xia Meng was alone in the hall. She lowered her head, lost in thought. Then she suddenly looked up and said, "No, I still need to ask the Supreme Elders."
With that, her figure vanished.
On the mountain behind Stars Peak stood a wooden hut and a patch of spirit soil, in which all sorts of expensive spirit medicines grew.
An old man dressed in plain clothes and wearing a conical hat was watering the spirit soil with a watering can.
Just then, Xia Meng suddenly appeared behind him. She cupped her fists and bowed respectfully. "Supreme Elder."
The old man paused and turned to look at Xia Meng. "If he wants to stay in the Holy Land, let him stay. Leave him be."
Xia Meng was silent for a moment, then nodded. "All right."
With that, she vanished from the spot.
After Xia Meng left, the old man breathed a sigh of relief. A closer look would have revealed that his hand had been trembling all along, spilling water from the can.
The old man muttered, "How could those black-robed figures have been so terrifying? And who exactly is that young man?"
As he spoke, he looked up at the sky and said worriedly, "I don't know whether this is good or bad. Sigh."
Several days later, it was noon. Warm sunlight poured down, bringing a sense of peace and tranquility.
Su Chen lay in a wicker chair with his eyes half-closed, leisurely basking in the sun.
Ye Lingxi, meanwhile, was cleaning the loft.
If anyone saw this, they would surely curse, "What a fucking scumbag! Making a child who isn't even ten do this dirty, exhausting work-you beast!"
Half an hour later, Ye Lingxi finally finished cleaning the loft. She wiped the sweat from her forehead, then came behind Su Chen and began massaging his back.
The corners of Su Chen's mouth lifted slightly, his face full of enjoyment.
At that moment, he couldn't help thinking how wonderful it was to have a younger sister!
Ye Lingxi suddenly said, "Brother, I want to cultivate immortality."
Su Chen was taken aback, then smiled and asked, "Why?"
Ye Lingxi thought for a moment, then said, "Because I want to fly. You know, whenever I saw you all flying, I was so envious!"
