At this moment, Chu Tianfang truly wished he had never had this son.
But what he was thinking was unimportant; what mattered most was how to resolve the situation and quell the anger of the Demon Emperor and his Pavilion Master.
Chu Tianfang a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and looked back at Chu Chen kneeling on the ground. Under the incredulous gaze of the other party, he struck Chu Chen's Dantian with a fierce palm.
Chu Chen coughed up a mouthful of blood, his aura rapidly weakening, and his Spiritual Power was draining away at an alarming rate. This feeling...
"No!!"
"My cultivation level, my cultivation level!"
He never expected that his father would personally take action and cripple him!
The surrounding crowd was also shocked. Chu Tianfang was indeed ruthless. In order to quell the other party's anger, he personally took action and directly crippled this prodigy of the Chu Household who was comparable to the Ten Heroes.
"Shut up!"
A resounding slap.
Chu Tianfang his hand, his eyes filled with extreme anger as he looked at his son.
The entire Chu Household should have been riding high today, but they were almost dragged into the abyss by this wicked beast.
If the other party gets angry, not only Chu Chen, but the entire Chu Household...
His gaze toward Wu Liang held a hint of pleading.
"My lord, my son has been rude and offended you. Is this enough?"
He bowed his head in humility, his teeth chattering as he spoke, because the Demon Great Emperor's oppressive aura enveloped him the moment he opened his mouth.
All of this, simply because he had a "good son".
Chu Tianfang anger and fear, and almost wished he could strike this unfilial son to death with a single blow.
But what could Chu Tianfang do?
The deed is done; all we can do is hope for leniency.
But Wu Liang did not answer Chu Tianfang; instead, he turned to look at Lin Xuan beside him.
"What does the Pavilion Master think?"
After all, no matter what, Chu Chen had offended Lin Xuan.
Chu Chen's face was ashen, and he curled up on the ground in pain, but when he heard those words, he suddenly realized what was happening and burst into tears.
I'm already a useless person, but what if I really have to die?
A wave of fear washed over him.
He looked up at Lin Xuan, only to find Lin Xuan's gaze indifferent. His teeth trembled as he begged Lin Xuan for mercy.
"Brother Lin... no, no, no, Senior Lin, Pavilion Master Lin, I was wrong. I was blind and looked down on you. I was foolish and ignorant. Please forgive me!"
His previous composed demeanor had completely vanished.
What's the point of all that pride and arrogance? Does one's own life matter?
He was filled with extreme remorse; he was so regretful he felt like his guts were turning green.
If he had known earlier that Lin Xuan was such a powerful figure, he wouldn't have dared to offend him even if he had a thousand lives!
Chu Chen felt a sense of despair, and a chill ran down his spine.
He never imagined that he, who was always so good at judging situations, would offend such an important person.
Regret and remorse are not enough to describe Chu Chen's current feelings. He lowered his head, feeling a chill in his heart and trembling all over, waiting for the death knell of his fate.
It's laughable that he actually dared to challenge someone like Lin Xuan. If Lin Xuan had actually accepted his challenge back then, he probably wouldn't have made it to the secret realm alive...
Perhaps the other party has never taken me seriously, and I am just a buzzing fly, a clown.
If you really annoy the other party, they might just crush you to death, just like they are right now.
Chu Chen was filled with many thoughts, and his mouth tasted bitter.
He wasn't a smart man, but compared to other idiots, his stupidity was less obvious; at least he knew how to put on an act. Unfortunately, he still made the mistake of looking down on others.
This kind of person...
Lin Xuan calmly withdrew his gaze, keeping Chu Chen's disgraceful behavior out of his sight.
He never took Chu Chen seriously from beginning to end.
In his eyes, Chu Chen's actions were like a speck of dust floating in the air.
How to handle it is not important to him.
But at that moment, he sensed a wisp of Sword Qi unsheathed beside him.
He ignored it and did not stop it.
That was Su Lianxin's sword.
The terrifying Sword Qi startled everyone around, causing them to retreat in panic.
The voices that had been begging for mercy abruptly stopped.
A cold voice echoed through the air.
"If begging for mercy works, then what's the point of my sword?"
"There are some things that Master doesn't care about, but I do."
For Su Lianxin, Chu Chen's repeated disrespectful remarks towards his master had long since crossed her bottom line.
Therefore, Su Lianxin at this moment.
This One Sword shocked the Chu Household members; even the Ten Heroes of the imperial clan could hardly match such strength and Sword Intent.
Ironically, Chu Chen actually dared to lay a finger on such a proud and talented woman!
The surroundings were deathly silent.
The Chu Household members were even more apprehensive, daring not to utter the slightest objection.
At that moment, Lin Xuan's voice broke the silence. He looked at Wu Liang and casually said, "You can handle this."
When Lin Xuan's gaze fell upon Bai Linglong beside him, he paused slightly.
"By the way, regarding the Bai Household members, aside from the ringleader, let's just leave the others out."
After saying that, Lin Xuan ignored the ugly expressions on the faces of the imperial clans present and left with Su Lianxin.
People must take responsibility for their actions.
Wu Liang naturally understood Lin Xuan's meaning. He glanced casually at Bai Linglong and the Bai Household members whose faces showed joy at surviving a calamity, and slightly curled his lips, exuding Evil Qi aura.
"You have three breaths. Except for the Bai Household and Chu Household, you can run away."
"In three breaths, I, the Emperor, will settle accounts with you properly!"
He laughed freely, and the enormous Demon Beast beast gradually grew larger from the darkness, enveloping the sky above the small secret realm. Its four eyes, like lanterns, looked mockingly at the tiny Human Race below. Its wings spread, and it gazed down at everyone from its high position.
The elder of the Chu Household family could no longer hold back. He collapsed to the ground with a thud, trembling as he transformed into the half-body of Demon Beast. His eyes, like white mist, stared at Wu Liang's true form, and he almost shed tears.
This is.
This should have been fortuitous opportunity for the Chu Household!
The Chongming Bird is Chongming Bird Clan...
Among the Holy Spirit of this world, from Dragon Race to phoenixes, from qilin to luan birds, the most special and long-extinct is the Chongming Bird Clan.
The Chongming Bird has four bright eyes, wings like clouds hanging from the sky, and is jet black. It feeds on the essence of heaven and earth, and emerges when the world is in chaos. Blessed with great fortune, it can only be subdued by an emperor...
The Chu Household, their Chu Household...
The elder of the Chu Household could no longer bear the blow. He spat out a mouthful of blood, with blood still clinging to his lips and teeth, and fell into a coma. Judging from the chaotic state of his aura, it was clear that he had almost Qi Deviation from the shock of his emotions.
Wu Liang glanced over indifferently, naturally realizing that the other party was barely one of his own kind, but he made no comment.
Even with millions of Human Race, internal strife cannot be prevented. What does it matter if they are of the same race? If their positions are different, they can only act independently.
Besides, if he cared about his fellow clansmen, he wouldn't have been so arrogant as to be sealed away.
Before he was sealed away, he went on a killing spree, massacring a large portion of the Thundercloud Tiger Clan.
Now, he has only restrained his ferocity because he is sincerely convinced of Lin Xuan's abilities, and is now obediently serving as the deputy head of the Sword Pavilion.
These people dared to try and stop him from devouring the Phoenix Essence—that was a Phoenix, not only a member of the Feather Clan like him, but also Holy Spirit, something that no amount of other Holy Spirit Essence could compare to.
Having absorbed this essence, along with some other treasures, Wu Liang was confident he could return to his peak. But if he lost this essence...
Murderous intent flashed in Wu Liang's eyes!
He absolutely refused to allow even the slightest possibility to exist.
Those imperial clans who offended him and tried to prevent him from returning to his peak have already met their demise.
He might let go of those who didn't participate, but the others...
Not a single one can be left alive!
The Chongming Bird opened its fierce double pupils. Three breaths had passed, and even the fastest imperial clan expert had only just arrived at the exit of the secret realm.
The light of hope in their eyes grew ever brighter as they gazed longingly at the exit that was so close at hand, desperately trying to grasp at that sliver of hope.
However, the next second...
Thump!
The closest imperial clan expert crashed violently into the exit.
Ignoring his injuries from the collision, he lunged forward in disbelief, stroking the now-sealed space and feeling the rising momentum behind him. Fear and the shadow of death enveloped his heart, causing him to let out a desperate wail.
"No!"
If that elder of the Chu Lineage were still alive, he would tell them.
From the very beginning, that demon emperor had no intention of letting them go; the so-called three breaths were nothing more than using them for his own amusement.
The Chongming Bird's talent lies in space.
The Candle Dragon Palm manipulates time, Chongming Bird controls space.
Three breaths have passed, and the space here is sealed off. Apart from those he sent out directly, none of the rest will survive.
The slaughter has only just begun.
