Zhao Yu's knees were pressed tightly against the cold ground, his eyes wide open, staring intently at the figure in the air, completely dumbfounded.
"Our... our ancestor was... Immortal Emperor!" Zhao Yu said in a terrified voice, his lips trembling violently, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
As the sect leader of the Extreme Cold Immortal Sect, Zhao Yu was well aware that Wu Shengqian's strength was such that even those at the same cultivation level as him rarely had a match for him, which showed just how powerful Wu Shengqian was.
But what just happened shattered Zhao Yu's understanding: that man actually suppressed the Martial Wu Shengqian with a single sentence!
A single sentence!
Zhao Yu was stunned. He gasped for breath, gripped by fear and confusion. His heart was pounding wildly in his chest, as if it were about to burst out of his chest.
Not only was he in this state, but everyone in the arena, whether elders or disciples of the Extreme Cold Immortal Sect, was in a similar state to Zhao Yu, all staring at Su Chen in disbelief.
Su Chen's expression was icy, like a glacier that had never melted for thousands of years. Radiance shone upon him, and every move he made exuded an overbearing demeanor.
"I'll give you another chance. Will you take it or not?" Su Chen said indifferently, his picturesque eyes fixed on Wu Shengqian.
Wu Shengqian is the patriarch of the Extreme Cold Immortal Sect, and his status and position are naturally the highest. Therefore, he is naturally capable of answering Su Chen's question.
Faced with Su Chen's domineering presence, Wu Shengqian felt extremely bitter. "You can suppress me with a single word, how can I refuse? If I refuse, the entire Extreme Cold Immortal Sect will probably cease to exist."
" The Extreme Cold Immortal Sect... is willing to become a... subordinate force of the Guanghan Palace." Wu Shengqian sighed deeply. After saying this, he seemed to have lost all his strength, hanging his head and giving a bitter smile.
He founded the Extreme Cold Immortal Sect, and because of him, the Extreme Cold Immortal Sect still holds a place in the current Immortal Realm, which makes Wu Shengqian very proud.
It should be noted that there are countless forces in the Immortal Realm, and many of them are very powerful. The fact that he was able to enable the Extreme Cold Immortal Sect to gain a foothold in this cruel world is already quite remarkable.
Today, the Extreme Cold Immortal Sect has been completely destroyed because of Su Chen's appearance, becoming an appendage of a small force. If this gets out, the entire Extreme Cold Immortal Sect will be ridiculed by countless people.
In fact, if Su Chen's strength wasn't so outrageous, even if Wu Shengqian were to die, he would never agree to the Extreme Cold Immortal Sect becoming a subordinate force of someone else.
Su Chen's power was so overwhelming that he couldn't even muster the slightest thought of resistance. It was terrifyingly absurd, and the term "exceeding the limit" wouldn't be an exaggeration.
Faced with such an existence, how could they resist? They simply couldn't. Therefore, rather than being destroyed by Su Chen, the Extreme Cold Immortal Sect might as well accept its fate and agree to Su Chen's demands.
Qin Zixuan's beautiful eyes were fixed on Su Chen's handsome face, her expression slightly complicated yet also filled with joy.
She knew that the reason Su Chen suddenly changed his mind and made the Extreme Cold Immortal Sect an affiliated force of the Guanghan Palace was all because of her.
If the Extreme Cold Immortal Sect becomes an affiliated force of the Guanghan Palace, then no one in the entire Snow Continent will dare to provoke it. This is equivalent to finding a powerful backer for the Guanghan Palace.
A warm current flowed gently through Qin Zixuan's heart. The corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, and a faint smile gradually appeared between her brows. She smiled so beautifully that everything around her paled in comparison.
Su Chen seemed to sense something, looked down at Qin Zixuan in his arms, and smiled, "What's wrong?"
Qin Zixuan's eyes were full of tenderness as she softly said, "Thank you."
Su Chen smiled and said, "So how do you plan to repay me?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Zixuan fell into deep thought. After a moment, a faint pink blush rose on her fair face, like the first blush of dawn on the horizon. The next second, she suddenly tilted her head back and, like a dragonfly skimming the water, gently kissed Su Chen's lips.
That fleeting touch was like a feather brushing against the heart, gentle yet carrying a Human Heart power. After the brief intimacy, Qin Zixuan quickly lowered her head, burying her burning face in Su Chen's chest, her body trembling slightly, her shyness overflowing.
"This..." Su Chen blinked, then shook his head and smiled, realizing he'd been forcibly kissed again.
Everyone watching felt a pang of bitterness. "Brothers and sisters, can't you consider our feelings? If you're going to kiss, kiss back first! How are we single people supposed to live like this?"
At this moment, Su Chen looked at Wu Shengqian and calmly said, "If anything happens to the Guanghan Palace in the future, I'll have to come looking for you, understand?"
"Understood." Wu Shengqian nodded, sighing inwardly.
Su Chen flicked his sleeve, and in an instant, a streak of light rushed toward Wu Shengqian. Wu Shengqian's pupils dilated, and the hairs on his body stood on end. He tried to dodge, but the oppressive aura had not yet dissipated, and he was unable to move at all.
As the streak of light was about to rush towards him, Wu Shengqian looked desperate. In the end, he simply closed his eyes and awaited death. However, the streak of light did not harm him; it merely stopped in front of him.
The light faded, revealing a jade bottle, smooth as jade, which appeared to contain elixirs.
Seeing that he was not dead, Wu Shengqian slowly opened his eyes, breathing heavily, cold sweat pouring down his forehead, his heart trembling. After a while, he finally calmed down, looked at the pill in front of him, and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.
"The contents of this are enough to help you break through to the Late-stage Immortal Emperor," Su Chen said calmly.
His words caused an uproar among everyone, and everyone stared intently at the jade bottle, their eyes wide.
How could a Mid-stage Immortal Emperor break through to the Late-stage Immortal Emperor? What could be so heaven-defying? Everyone found it hard to believe, but then again, how could someone like Su Chen lie? Could it really be true?
The crowd's throats bobbed, still harboring a sliver of doubt. After all, for a powerful figure like Immortal Emperor to break through, what they needed was time to accumulate experience and an understanding of the Great Dao. Under normal circumstances, there was simply nothing that could allow them to break through in one fell swoop. Although there might be some, they were all rumors, and no one could verify them.
Zhao Yu's heart pounded wildly, his eyes fixed on the jade bottle, his body trembling uncontrollably. If something could allow Immortal Emperor to break through, wouldn't he also be able to break through to Immortal Emperor if he used it? And once he broke through to Immortal Emperor, would his lifespan still be a problem?
Zhao Yu's eyes burned with fervor, but then he calmed down, and a look of resentment gradually appeared on his face.
Because this jade bottle was given to Wu Shengqian by Su Chen, not to him. If he wants to get the contents of the jade bottle, he has no chance unless Wu Shengqian gives it to him voluntarily.
Go rob it?
Wu Shengqian is Immortal Emperor, how could he possibly steal it?
Moreover, how could Wu Shengqian possibly give that thing to him? It was something that could help him break through to the Late-stage Immortal Emperor!
