"Yi Yi, Yi Yi, I'm going to find Grandpa Xu, or my father. You'll get better! As for you, please don't leave this place!" Jiang Yunyun glared angrily at Xu Chen, then prepared to fly to Guanli Island to find her sect leader father.
"Chenchen, maybe... maybe we should leave first." Wang Li tugged at Xu Chen's sleeve, preparing to escape with him. Xu Chen's brows furrowed into a straight line because he realized that an immense pressure had been transmitted to his body, rendering him unable to move. Xu Chen struggled to lift his head and look at the floating island in the sky, wondering who was responsible.
Unexpectedly, the person in question suddenly appeared. An old man gradually emerged before them. Every part of him was white: his hair, beard, clothes, and shoes were all white. He had come to the outer perimeter of the venue because he sensed that his granddaughter's life was in danger.
Xu Chengyue walked to his granddaughter, reached out to examine her body, and discovered a residual force of rules wreaking havoc within her. Like a virus, it was eroding her physical body and spiritual power. Xu Chengyue was shocked. He gave Xu Chen a deep look, then waved his hand, dispersing the force of rules and drawing it out of his granddaughter's body, allowing it to merge with the rules of Heaven.
"Kid, come here first." Xu Chengyue beckoned to Xu Chen, signaling him to come closer, and then carefully examined Xu Chen. When he saw the jade pendant with the words "Tianquan" on it, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then his heart was filled with jealousy—jealousy of the Tianquan Sect. The old man's eyes darted around, and he really wanted to keep this kid in the Xuandao Sect.
Xu Chen walked with difficulty to the old man. He wanted to speak, but he couldn't open his mouth no matter what he did. So he simply kept quiet and walked over while quietly watching the old man, waiting for his next move.
Seeing Xu Chen walk straight past, Wang Li was in a state of panic. She was about to step forward and grab Xu Chen when Xu Chengyue waved his hand, causing her to faint. Xu Chen did not notice his wife's disheveled state. At this moment, his attention was entirely on the old man in front of him, after all, the old man was the one who could decide his life or death at this moment.
"Would you like to join my Xuandao Sect, young man?"
Xu Chen shook his head, then realized he could speak, so he sincerely said to the old man, "Senior, I'm afraid I can't comply."
"Don't you want to think it over? Join the Xuandao Sect, and I will groom you as my successor. I will also betroth my granddaughter to you. My granddaughter has cultivated for two hundred years and has reached the Golden Core stage. Compared to the one behind you, she is more qualified to be your Daoist partner."
Xu Chen shook his head again, took a few steps back, and hugged Wang Li to express his feelings. Wang Li was very moved. The two hugged for a while, and then turned to face Xu Chengyue.
“Senior, I was wrong today. If you spare my life, I will repay you tenfold in the future.”
"What if I don't?" The old man smiled as he looked at the Nascent Soul youth, sensing that the boy wasn't very afraid of him. Injuring his granddaughter, and he was just going to apologize so easily? If it weren't for the boy's exceptional talent, which made the old man appreciate his abilities, these two would probably be dead by now.
"Then please spare my woman, senior. I will offer my neck for execution."
"Good, good for offering your neck to be slaughtered, good, young man, I agree." Xu Chengyue waved his hand, ordering two disciples to pull Wang Li away, and then directly struck Xu Chen with a palm. Xu Chen stared expressionlessly at the ever-growing palm print in front of him, his thoughts unknown.
Unfortunately, fate did not grant the old man's wish. Just as the palm print reached Xu Chen, his jade pendant emitted a dazzling golden light, thus neutralizing the palm print. Subsequently, a huge phantom appeared in the sky above the entire venue.
The illusory figure ignored the solemn expressions of the powerful figures on the viewing island who were rising to their feet, as well as the gasps and discussions of the hundreds of thousands of spectators on the arena island. He grabbed Xu Chengyue and, as if catching a chick, dragged this Mahayana stage expert right in front of him.
"Master! You really are here with me!" Xu Chen was both surprised and felt very warm. He called out to Wang Xuanyi loudly, and Wang Xuanyi laughed heartily, "Chen'er, let me deal with this old geezer first, then we can catch up."
"Wait! Sect Master, please show mercy!" Jiang Kaitian certainly couldn't watch his sect's elder be crushed to death by Wang Xuanyi, so he lowered his stance and addressed Wang Xuanyi as Sect Master.
Wang Xuanyi acted as if he hadn't heard Jiang Kaitian's words, directly crushing Xu Chengyue into nothingness. Seeing this, Jiang Kaitian felt as if he had been slapped hard in the face. His expression was extremely angry. He took out a jade slip from his storage bag and crushed it. Wang Xuanyi had already entered the Tribulation Transcending Realm two thousand years ago, while he had only entered the Mahayana Realm a few years ago. In order not to be crushed to death like Xu Chengyue, he had no choice but to call for reinforcements.
Taking advantage of the chaos at the scene, when no one was bothering him, Xu Chen quickly found Wang Li, who had been unconscious, and held her in his arms. Then he quietly watched his master display his divine power.
"Sect Master, you killed my sect elder without any explanation. Our sect had no choice but to take action against you. Please forgive us," Jiang Kaitian said, his expression aggrieved and his anger suppressed. Even after being thoroughly humiliated by Wang Xuanyi, he could only cowardly utter threats. He couldn't predict what Wang Xuanyi would do after he made those definitive statements—whether he would personally come to the rescue or remain indifferent. He dared not gamble.
Wang Xuanyi ignored Jiang Kaitian's complaints, instead gazing with interest in the direction of Qilin City. He had sensed an aura no weaker than his own rapidly approaching. Two breaths later, an old man appeared before Wang Xuanyi. Looking at Xu Chengyue's storage bag floating in the air, uncrushed, a flicker of emotion crossed his otherwise emotionless eyes. The old man cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Wang Xuanyi, indicating he would retrieve the bag. Wang Xuanyi ignored him. After the old man had collected his belongings, he slowly said, "Shall we go?"
"Alright!" The old man tossed the storage bag to Jiang Kaitian and flew with Wang Xuanyi outside Tianfu Star. Even with some control, the aftershocks of a battle of this level would still wipe out more than one-tenth of all living beings present. Even Tianfu Star itself might be destroyed in the battle. Seeing this, Xu Chen quietly left the venue with Wang Li on his back. Of course, this was only what he thought was a quiet departure; Jiang Kaitian and the other high-ranking members of the Xuandao Sect couldn't possibly have missed his actions.
As everyone knows, battles between cultivators at the Divine Realm are actually quite simple. Even though Wang Xuanyi and the old man were of equal strength, their battle was decided in less than a breath.
