"You're courting death!"
In the face of the three people's consecutive attacks, Gu Zheng roared and pushed his palms forward. The powerful energy of heaven and earth mixed with immortal power instantly tore Shang Qingqiu's pressure apart and formed a hurricane in the air. Whether it was the rain of swords or the huge golden tiger, they were all blown into the distance as if they were dried twigs.
The rain of swords and the giant tiger were disintegrated under Gu Zheng's counterattack. The three people in the air were also not spared. They were swept by the hurricane and hit the opposite mountain peak, smashing into the crevices of the stones.
"S-Senior, please spare our lives!"
"S-Senior, we were as blind as a bat!"
Shang Qingqiu and Shen Zhiping were both at the Late-stage of Void Return. They thought that Gu Zheng's cultivation would not be higher than theirs, but who would have thought that they couldn't even take one move from him?
"Late-stage of Void Return and Early-stage of Qi Transformation. Who has the guts to fight with you?"
Gu Zheng's questioning voice sounded like thunder in the ears of the three people. The three people who were already injured suddenly felt their chests churn, and they couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
"I didn't want to be nosy, but you just ignored my words, didn't you?" Gu Zheng sneered.
"No, Senior, we, we were wrong!"
"S-Senior, please forgive us. We, we know we were wrong!"
"Senior, please, please spare our lives!"
This time, not only Shang Qingqiu and Shen Zhiping were begging for mercy, but even Chen Tiecheng was begging for mercy. Although he was a reckless man, he was not unafraid of death.
"I didn't want to kill more, but you were too bold. You actually dared to take the initiative to kill me?"
Gu Zheng was telling the truth. If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't want to kill more, the three people in the crevice in front of him would have already died in the crevice.
"I'll let you live. Go back and tell the people behind you to let this matter pass. This is the only chance for reconciliation! If you dare to attack me or those two people again, I will let the Chen family know what it means to provoke someone who shouldn't be provoked! "Gu Zheng said again.
"Thank you for your mercy, Senior!"
"Thank you, Senior. We will definitely pass on your words!"
Shang Qingqiu and Shen Zhiping hurriedly thanked him.
"Hehe."
Gu Zheng laughed. His voice was very cold. "Do you think this is the end? Too naive! "
"Although you can be spared from death, you can't escape punishment! If I don't make you pay a price, you won't know how to behave. How dare you try to kill me first? How audacious! "
Gu Zheng waved his hand, and the three men who were embedded deep in the rock flew out. The black light in his hand flashed three times, and the three men who had lost their right arms all screamed in pain.
"Scram!"
Without waiting for the three of them to say anything, Gu Zheng waved his hand, and the three of them immediately flew into the distance.
Without staying on the mountain for long, Gu Zheng immediately returned to the Ethereal Inn.
"Sir, are you alright?"
Seeing that Gu Zheng had returned safely, the innkeeper was a little surprised. From the bottom of his heart, he did not think highly of Gu Zheng.
"I'm fine," Gu Zheng said calmly.
"Amazing!"
The innkeeper gave Gu Zheng a thumbs-up.
Suddenly, Gu Zheng frowned. The restriction he had planted on Old Huang's body was reacting.
"You really don't learn your lesson!"
Gu Zheng gritted his teeth. He turned into a shadow and immediately disappeared from the inn.
Old Huang was indeed in danger. After Shang Qingqiu and the others went to look for Gu Zheng, Chen Ling came out again after listening to Chen Wencheng's lecture.
In Chen Ling's opinion, although Gu Zheng's cultivation was impressive, he would definitely die in the hands of Shang Qingqiu and Shen Zhiping. As for that damned Old Huang, if she did not vent her anger on him, she would not be able to vent her anger.
When Gu Zheng went over, Chen Ling was using the divine vine to whip Old Huang. He was already on the verge of death.
Old Huang's wife and children were crying at the side, but Chen Ling was indifferent. When she saw that Old Huang would die after one or two more lashes, the divine vine in Chen Ling's hand stopped falling.
Chen Ling did not bring anyone with her this time. When she realized that the surrounding energy of heaven and earth was being controlled and the divine vine could not fall, she turned around and saw Gu Zheng with an icy expression.
"You …"
The person she thought was going to die suddenly appeared in front of her. This made Chen Ling look as if she had seen a ghost. Her mouth was wide open, but she could not say a complete sentence.
"You're quite vicious at such a young age! Looks like you didn't take my warning in the inn to heart at all! "Gu Zheng said coldly.
"He spouted nonsense, so he deserved to die! You, on the other hand, actually dared to offend our Chen Clan. You don't want to leave Luxia Town alive, do you? "Chen Ling said fiercely.
"Offend your Chen Clan? I'll offend you today. Let's see if I can leave Luxia Town while I'm at it! "
Gu Zheng waved his hand, and the divine vine in Chen Ling's hand flew out and into his hand.
With the vine in his hand, Gu Zheng viciously whipped it toward Chen Ling.
"Kacha …"
A crisp sound came from Chen Ling's body. Gu Zheng's divine vine did not land on Chen Ling's body. It was blocked by a layer of pale yellow light that erupted from the surface of Chen Ling's body.
The object that emitted the yellow light was a jade talisman on Chen Ling's waist. This jade talisman was called the Life-Saving Jade Talisman. Gu Zheng had once owned it when he was still on Earth. It had saved his life at a critical moment.
When the yellow light blocked the divine vine, the shadow of a white-haired old man who looked somewhat similar to Chen Ling appeared behind Chen Ling. He was the Chen Clan's Patriarch, Chen Jude.
"Patriarch, save me!" Chen Ling shouted.
"Who are you? Why did you hurt my Ling 'er? "The old man looked at Gu Zheng and asked.
"You'll know who I am when you come!"
Gu Zheng said indifferently. The divine vine in his hand fell toward Chen Ling again.
"How dare you!"
Chen Jude shouted. The shadow pushed a palm toward Gu Zheng.
Sand and stones flew around. Chen Jude's house was overturned by the palm of Chen Jude's shadow. After all, he was a late-stage Jin Xian Immortal Cultivator. Even if the shadow was not his real body, it still had considerable power.
Gu Zheng was still using the divine vine. However, he, who did not use the energy of heaven and earth, also used the energy of heaven and earth.
Bam!
Under the collision of the two forces, the power of Chen Jude's palm was torn apart. When the divine vine fell, his shadow was first destroyed. Then, Chen Ling was sent flying. She lay on the ground and could not move anymore.
Chen Ling did not die, but she was already crippled. Even if she was cured at a high price, she would at most be an ordinary person in the future. It would be impossible for her to cultivate. Gu Zheng's divine vine had not only destroyed her meridians, but also the ball of immortal power in her dantian.
After feeding an immortal pill to Old Huang and channeling immortal power into his body, Old Huang quickly woke up.
"Great Immortal!"
Old Huang choked and cried.
"Don't worry! After this incident, they won't attack you again unless I'm dead! "
Gu Zheng did not say much. He left some silver taels for Old Huang to repair the house and buy furniture. Then, he carried the half-dead Chen Ling and flew back to the Chen Mansion.
At the same time.
Chen Tiecheng and the others, who had lost an arm and were seriously injured, had already returned to the Chen Mansion. The shocked and furious Chen Family members had already gathered a group and were about to cause trouble for Gu Zheng! Even if Gu Zheng's cultivation was at the Jin Xian Realm, the Chen Family was not a pushover. Moreover, their direct descendant had lost an arm. If news of this spread, the Chen Family would lose face in Luxia Town!
Chen Hanjiang, a mid-stage Jin Xian Immortal Cultivator, led the group. The Chen Family members had already left the Chen Mansion. However, at this moment, a voice entered Chen Hanjiang's ears.
"Don't cause trouble for that person!"
The person who transmitted the voice to Chen Hanjiang was the Chen Family's ancestor, Chen Jude.
"Grandfather, what happened?" Chen Hanjiang hurriedly asked.
"That person's cultivation is very frightening. I just fought with him under the life-saving jade talisman. His cultivation is far above the average late-stage Jin Xian Realm! It is not worth offending such an enemy for such a small matter. "Chen Jude said.
"This person is so young, but he is already far above the average late-stage Jin Xian Realm?" Chen Hanjiang was shocked.
"It is precisely because he is young and has such strength that he is not worth offending! This kind of person is definitely not a rogue cultivator. He must be a disciple of some large sect! "Chen Jude said.
"Grandfather, then this matter is over just like that? Tiecheng, Shen Zhiping, and Shang Qingqiu each had an arm cut off by him! "Chen Hanjiang did not dare to say.
"What?" Chen Jude exclaimed.
"Wencheng informed us. You have been in seclusion all year round. I thought that the other party was only at the mid-stage Jin Xian Realm, so I did not inform you."
Chen Hanjiang's voice fell. He seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly asked, "Life-saving jade talisman? Grandfather, whose Life-saving jade talisman did you use to fight with that person? "
"Who else could it be? Naturally, it is that lass Ling 'er!"
Chen Jude's voice carried a bit of anger towards Chen Ling.
"Heavens! These fellows who make people worry. Tiecheng secretly followed Shang Qingqiu and the rest to find trouble with that person. That lass Ling 'er probably couldn't take it lying down and went to find trouble with those two mortals. How is she now? "Chen Hanjiang asked.
"I don't know the exact situation. But Ling 'er's Life-saving jade talisman is not broken. Presumably, her life is not in danger."
Chen Jude's voice paused. Then he said, "That's good too. After this, Tie Cheng and Ling 'er will understand some reason. It will also let them change that arrogant, despotic, and condescending bad habit!"
"Grandfather, the cause of this matter is not Ling 'er's fault. The key is that those mortals were gossiping about our family. That's why Ling' er took action to punish …"
"Enough, don't speak up for them!"
Chen Hanjiang had not finished speaking when he was interrupted by Chen Jude.
"Someone has already told me what happened just now! This matter will be like this for the time being. I have already sent people to investigate that person's background. Without my orders, no one is allowed to provoke that person surnamed Bai! "
Chen Jude retracted his Divine Sense. The sound transmission felt as if it was gradually going further and further away.
"Grandfather, what's wrong?"
Originally, he was aggressively going to take revenge, but the leader, Chen Hanjiang, suddenly stopped. This made the vengeful Chen Tiecheng unable to help but ask.
"Sigh!"
Looking at Chen Tiecheng, who had spent countless resources but whose cultivation was so low that he could not even detect the fluctuations of his Divine Sense sound transmission, Chen Hanjiang could not help but sigh.
"The Ancestor just sent me a sound transmission. Without his orders, this matter will be settled for the time being." Chen Hanjiang said.
"Ah? Just like that? "Chen Tiecheng said with wide eyes.
"What? You want to question the Ancestor's orders? "Chen Hanjiang said with narrowed eyes.
"I don't dare, I don't dare!"
Chen Tiecheng had an embarrassed smile on his face, but then his eyes turned red again. "Grandfather, if we just let it go like this, what about this grandson's arm?"
A broken limb was not a small injury, even for immortal cultivators! To have the ability to regrow a broken limb, that was Daluo Jinxian's divine ability. If an ordinary immortal cultivator wanted to regrow a broken limb, there was a special immortal pill for this kind of situation, but the price was extremely high.
"So what? I'll teach you a lesson! "
Unhappily glaring at Chen Tiecheng, Chen Hanjiang said to Chen Wencheng, "Issue a gag order. Those who know of this matter are forbidden from spreading it!"
"Grandfather, don't worry. The order has already been issued." Chen Wencheng said.
"Alright, let's go back!"
Chen Hanjiang gloomily wanted to turn around, but his eyes suddenly narrowed, thinking that someone was coming from afar. Although he did not recognize this person, he recognized the person in his hand. If it was not Chen Ling, who else could it be!
"Ling 'er!"
"It's you!"
As Gu Zheng approached, cries of alarm sounded from outside the Chen Estate.
"What did you do to Ling 'er?" Chen Hanjiang looked up and down at Gu Zheng.
"I taught her a lesson."
Gu Zheng replied indifferently and threw Chen Ling to Chen Hanjiang.
Chen Hanjiang caught Chen Ling and scanned her body with his divine sense. His face immediately changed, "Bring Ling 'er back to heal first!"
Handing Chen Ling to the people behind him, Chen Hanjiang angrily glared at Gu Zheng, "Good, very good! Consecutively crippling four of my Chen Clan's people, report your sect. I want to see which sect is so tyrannical! "
"Tyrannical? Compared to your Chen Clan's people, I'm far inferior! I don't have any sect, I'm a loner. If you want to make a move, then come at me now! "
Gu Zheng stood there motionless like a mountain. There were fifteen Chen Clan's immortal cultivators in front of him.
Chen Hanjiang's brows furrowed. If it wasn't for Chen Zude's words, at this very moment, he really wanted to give it a try.
"Hehe."
The scene was silent for about ten seconds. Gu Zheng looked at the motionless Chen Clan's people and laughed with contempt.
"You don't dare to make a move? Didn't I already say that I don't have any sect? Come! If you have the ability, then come and kill me. Then you'll have your face back and your anger will be vented! "
Gu Zheng looked straight into Chen Hanjiang's eyes and slowly provoked him.
If Chen Hanjiang was still burning with anger before, then when he looked into Gu Zheng's eyes, it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head.
"Daring to injure people and daring to come here. Moreover, the ancestor said that his cultivation is far beyond the late Jin Xian stage. Do I really dare to disregard everything and offend such a person?"
Chen Hanjiang's mind raced and he suddenly felt a bit afraid.
As the overlord of Luxia Town, the Chen Clan was used to being tyrannical. After today's incident, Chen Hanjiang's mindset hadn't changed from before.
From Chen Hanjiang's point of view, their Chen family had dozens of cultivators, and two of them were Golden Immortals. They even had a large sect backing them up. There was no need for them to be afraid of a lone cultivator!
However, after calming down, Chen Hanjiang saw the situation more clearly. There were many things that weren't as they seemed on the surface. It was true that there were dozens of cultivators, but most of them were still cultivating on the Chen Clan's mountain. There were indeed two Jin Xian stage cultivators. One was him, and the other was his grandfather Chen Zude. However, Chen Hanjiang's cultivation was only at the mid Jin Xian stage. Although his grandfather was at the late Jin Xian stage, because of some other reasons, it could be said that he couldn't make a move. Thus, in reality, he could only be counted as a Jin Xian stage cultivator. And the enemy they were about to face was a powerful existence far beyond the late Jin Xian stage! Once they fought with such a person, then he would be like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. He would quickly kill them all! As for their backing, even if they were willing to fight with such an enemy, by the time they arrived, the Chen Clan would have already been annihilated.
Cold sweat, large beads of cold sweat rolled down Chen Hanjiang's forehead, causing him to immediately avoid Gu Zheng's gaze.
Chen Hanjiang was afraid. He was afraid that if he said something wrong, he would provoke the other party and cause destruction.
"Hehe."
Seeing the fear in Chen Hanjiang's eyes, Gu Zheng once again laughed in disdain.
"You …"
Chen Hanjiang was afraid, but that didn't mean that the cultivators of the Chen Clan were afraid. One of them couldn't help but speak out.
"Shut up!"
Without waiting for the angry clansmen to say anything, Chen Hanjiang spoke out in time to nip the disaster in the bud.
Gu Zheng's brows furrowed slightly as he looked at the person who had just said one word.
"Pa!"
Chen Hanjiang slapped the clansman's head down, not daring to let him meet Gu Zheng's gaze.
Seeing that Gu Zheng seemed to want to scan the scene, Chen Hanjiang, who was afraid that someone would provoke him with their eyes, roared at the clansmen behind him, "Lower your heads!"
The Chen Clan's clansmen might not understand how terrifying Gu Zheng was, but they couldn't ignore Chen Hanjiang's words. Thus, they lowered their heads.
"You don't have to be afraid of him. If anyone is unconvinced, just say it. Even if you look at me, it's fine!"
Gu Zheng's gaze still swept the scene, but no one raised their heads, and no one looked at him disrespectfully.
"I've given you many chances to not kill, but your Chen Clan's clansmen have ignored my warnings, until the situation has developed to this point. However, this is your last chance. If you want to fight, then come at me now. If you choose to admit defeat, then this matter will be over! If something else happens that I don't want to see, then the Chen Clan will no longer exist in Luxia Town! "
As Gu Zheng's last words fell, the black blade light slashed towards the Chen Clan's tall gate.
Since the Chen Clan had admitted defeat, Gu Zheng naturally wouldn't stay any longer. Just as he turned to leave, the Chen Clan's tall gate collapsed with a loud bang.
"Hehe."
Gu Zheng laughed again, his eyes looking in a certain direction. There was a Divine Sense quietly resting there.
Gu Zheng could be considered to have fought with Chen Jude before, so he could feel a bit of Chen Jude's Qi from that Divine Sense. However, since the other party didn't do anything, he didn't want to say anything.
"Last year, during the auction, they lost face once, and this year, they lost face again. It seems that the Chen Clan's luck hasn't been good in recent years! Go back and tell the Chen Clan's clansmen to remember to keep a low profile and remember today's lesson! "
After Gu Zheng left, Chen Jude's voice once again sounded in Chen Hanjiang's ears.
"Grandfather."
Chen Hanjiang didn't say anything, only calling out to Chen Jude.
"The Chen Clan being bullied like this, not to mention you, even I haven't experienced it, but it's precisely because of this that we should learn from it!"
Chen Jude could hear the grievance in Chen Hanjiang's voice.
"Alright, this matter can be considered to have ended well. If a war were to break out, I think the consequences would definitely be very bad. What's more, he gave the Chen Clan some face and repeatedly warned our clansmen. Moreover, when he brought Ling 'er here, no one followed behind him! He was a fierce dragon crossing the river. If it were us, I'm afraid we wouldn't have given the enemy any face, right? "Chen Jude shook his head and smiled bitterly.
