The middle-aged man realized he had offended someone he shouldn't have, and he was filled with despair. He knew that he would face severe punishment, or even be put to death!
regret!
Unparalleled regret!
If I had been more polite to him, things might not have turned out this way.
The middle-aged man, his face ashen, slumped to the ground, utterly exhausted.
Di Tian was also filled with surprise, his expression growing increasingly solemn. He recognized this man; rumors circulated that he possessed the strength of the Divine Venerable Realm, and even he dared not disrespect him.
This man's respectful attitude towards Su Chen made Di Tian increasingly curious about Su Chen's identity. What kind of identity could make the renowned Senior Yan Jiang so fearful of him?
"Who are you?" Su Chen asked calmly.
"Uh..." Yan Jiang looked embarrassed upon hearing this. He hadn't expected Su Chen to forget him so quickly. He coughed twice to ease the awkwardness and then began to explain what had happened back then.
"Oh, it's you." Su Chen thought about it carefully and realized that there really was such a person. It was Yan Jiang who took Yan Qingwu away back then.
"Senior, are you here to see the goddess?" Yan Jiang asked curiously.
"Hmm." Su Chen nodded slightly, glanced at the middle-aged man and the others, and said calmly, "It's just that some things have happened."
Yan Jiang frowned, looking at the middle-aged man and his companion, her heart sinking. "What happened? Did you offend this senior?"
The middle-aged man and the others hesitated, none of them daring to speak up and explain.
"Hmph!" Yan Jiang snorted coldly, and a terrifying pressure swept out, instantly suppressing the middle-aged man and the others. The middle-aged man and the others were immediately suppressed to the ground, their bodies pressed tightly against the ground, and a chill and fear spread throughout their bodies.
"My lord, I'll talk! I'll talk!" One of the powerful warriors from the War God Divine Clan could no longer bear it and immediately recounted the whole story without embellishment.
As he listened to the words of the powerful War God Divine Clan, the middle-aged man felt death drawing ever closer. He was so terrified that he stopped breathing, his body trembled, cold sweat soaked his entire body, and he was filled with immense fear.
"You have some nerve!" After hearing what had happened, Yan Jiang flew into a rage, her fierce aura nearly causing the middle-aged man and the others to wet themselves.
"Hmph!" Yan Jiang's gaze fell on the middle-aged man, and she said coldly, "I hate guys like you who act recklessly just because you have a little power. Go to the Hall of Punishments and face your death!"
"M-My lord, spare my life! I truly didn't know this senior's identity. If I had known, I certainly wouldn't have treated him that way. Please spare my life!" the middle-aged man pleaded desperately.
"Do I have to say it again?" Yan Jiang said coldly.
"I... I understand." The middle-aged man originally wanted to struggle a bit, but when he saw the murderous intent in Yan Jiang's eyes, he gave up the idea and walked towards the Hall of Punishments with a deathly pale face.
"As for you, go and receive your punishment!" Yan Jiang said coldly, looking at the other powerful members of the War God Divine Clan.
"Yes, sir!" The faces of the several War God Divine Clan experts, which had been filled with despair, immediately lit up with joy. They had just thought that their fate was also death, but who knew that Yan Yang had chosen to spare them? This immediately made them overjoyed, and they hurriedly left to receive their punishment.
"Senior, are you satisfied with this punishment for them?" Yang Jiang looked at Su Chen and said in a heavy tone.
"Hmm." Su Chen nodded calmly.
Upon hearing this, Yan Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried that Su Chen would be dissatisfied. To be honest, ever since witnessing Su Chen's terrifying strength, it had left Yan Jiang with considerable psychological trauma—it was simply too frightening!
"Where's Qingwu?" Su Chen asked.
"The goddess is in seclusion; it will probably be some time before you can see her," Yan Jiang explained.
"Okay, I'll come back in a while." Su Chen nodded and prepared to leave.
"Senior, wait a moment!" Yan Jiang stopped Su Chen, her face hesitant, and then said, "In a few days, it will be the birthday of our War God Clan's ancestor. If you have time, you can come and participate. Perhaps the Goddess will emerge from seclusion ahead of schedule on that day."
"Okay." Su Chen thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
"This is an invitation, please accept it." Yan Jiang smiled slightly and handed the invitation to Su Chen.
Su Chen accepted the invitation, put it away, and then left.
Yan Jiang watched Su Chen's retreating figure until it disappeared, and her tense nerves finally relaxed.
"Senior Yan Jiang." At this moment, Di Tian called out.
Yan Jiang looked up at Di Tian and calmly said, "You're Di Tian, right? Is there something you need?"
Di Tian gave an awkward smile, inwardly speechless, "Why is this being treated differently?"
"Senior, who was that person just now?" Di Tian asked curiously.
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask," Yan Jiang said impatiently, then ignored Di Tian and turned to leave.
Standing there, Di Tian's face darkened, veins bulging on his forehead. "Hmph, stop pretending! One day, I'll be even stronger than you!"
He didn't linger any longer, driving his chariot away from White Orchid Star. He had come to the War God Divine Clan to find Yan Qingwu, but hearing that Yan Qingwu was in seclusion, there was no point in staying any longer.
However, Di Tian was still curious about Su Chen's identity, so after a brief moment of thought, he drove his chariot in the direction Su Chen had left. Soon, he found Su Chen and stopped the chariot in front of him.
"Brother, interested in having a chat?" Di Tian said to Su Chen with a smile.
"Not interested." Su Chen glanced at Di Tian, then looked away and continued on his way.
"Hey, don't be so cold." Di Tian jumped off the carriage and followed Su Chen, nagging incessantly.
Su Chen stopped, took a deep breath, and suppressed the urge to beat up Di Tian. He calmly asked, "Just say what you want to say. If you're just looking for a chat, I'm sorry, I'm not interested."
"Ahem, actually I just wanted to ask, brother, what exactly is your identity? Why is Yan Jiang so respectful to you, calling you 'senior' all the time?" Di Tian asked curiously.
"If you beat him up and leave him speechless, he'll treat you the same way," Su Chen said calmly. Then, ignoring Di Tian, he took a step forward and disappeared from the spot.
"Huh?" Di Tian was completely dumbfounded. Beat up Yan Jiang? Unless he had a death wish, what did he mean by that? Could it be that he had beaten up Yan Jiang?
Just as Di Tian was about to ask, he discovered that Su Chen had already vanished without a trace.
"Damn! Bro, you ran off so fast! I didn't even get to the bottom of things!" Di Tian exclaimed, his eyes wide.
