Chapter 684 - The Wudang Grandmaster!
Chapter 684: The Wudang Grandmaster!
It was a monstrous sword gleam.
Under everyone’s stunned gazes, it flew across the sky and landed accurately on Xiao Yang and the rest!
Whoosh, whoosh…
The sword gleam cut through their bodies like tofu.
The bodies of Xiao Yang and the other three suddenly froze!
The four of them stared fixedly at the figure holding the flying sword over 30 meters away. Their eyes were filled with fear, regret, and unwillingness!
They were members of the ancient families of Shang Santian and had come into contact with the thousand-year-old ancient martial arts. They felt like they were immortals in the secular world.
They looked down on the people of the secular world as if they were ants!
However, at that moment, they were killed by people from the secular world!
‘I really can’t accept this…’
The thought flashed across the minds of the four of them, and they immediately closed their eyes. Four streams of blood splattered in the air, and four rolling heads slowly fell to the ground!
The spacious world fell into dead silence.
Everyone stared blankly at the four bodies in the distance. Their hearts churned.
Dead!
Other than Luo Shuiyao, Tang Jianfeng, Liu Qing, and the crippled Duan Feng, all of the people from Shang Santian who had come to participate in the negotiation had died!
It was an outcome that no one had expected!
Gaze after gaze landed on the thin figure in the distance. Their scalps were numb, and they had goosebumps all over their bodies.
“This guy is really ruthless!”
A moment later, Luo Shuiyao’s eyes were still filled with shock as she said with a pale face, “He said that he would kill them all, and he really did…”
“I-I’m lucky…”
Liu Qing took a deep breath in, and a chill ran down his spine.
He could not help but rejoice that he did not provoke Ye Chen from the beginning, nor did he join forces with Xiao Yang and the rest to suppress Ye Chen.
Otherwise, one could imagine his fate…
Tang Jianfeng’s eyes twitched, “The Bai family and the Xiao family will go crazy…”
The most complicated ones were Ouyang Qing and Su Youwei.
They looked at the thin figure.
Su Youwei froze on the spot. There was a ringing in her head that went on!
Before this, she believed what Lin Han said and thought that although Ye Chen was powerful, he was only powerful in the secular world. He was no match for Shang Santian.
She had asked Ye Chen to apologize to Shang Santian more than once for that. However, Ye Chen killed everyone in Shang Santian instead.
That also included her boyfriend, Lin Han!
“I-I’ve got it all wrong!”
Ouyang Qing’s body trembled in shock!
Ever since she was young, she had been taken to Shang Santian. She had been highly regarded by the Du family of the ancient families and had always been arrogant. Moreover, the Du family was terrifying. Therefore, she had tacitly consented to Du Ming’s pursuit.
She did not care at first when she heard Old Master Gu and the rest fawning over Ye Chen at the Gu residence. However, after she saw Ye Chen killing Duan Kexin, only then did she take Ye Chen seriously. Even so, she felt that Ye Chen’s ability had stopped there.
After that, Du Ming tried to recruit Ye Chen in a condescending manner. As Ye Chen rejected his offer, she thought Ye Chen did not appreciate the favor that was offered to him. She thought Ye Chen would definitely die during the negotiation.
However, this happened…
To Niu Qingshan, Yan Nanfei and the rest of the Chinese cultivators, there was only shock in their heads!
There was endless shock!
They knew about Ye Chen’s overbearing killing. So what if it was Shang Santian? People from the secular world still had the ability to kill them!
“Sigh…”
Following a sigh, the old man wearing a Daoist robe and holding a horsetail whisk stepped forward.
The old man first took a look at the bodies on the ground before his gaze landed on Ye Chen in the end. His eyes were filled with sorrow, “Fellow Ye, you’re in big trouble!”
Ye Chen frowned and said, “Who are you?”
“Amitabha!”
The old man cupped his hands and said, “This humble one is Li Xuanji from Wudang Sect. Although this is the first time I’ve met Fellow Ye, we’ve actually crossed paths twice. The first one happened several months ago when the Martial Alliance sent people to attack your family. A disciple from Wudang Sect went to stop them!
The second one was when Fellow Ye went to Japan. Our Wudang Sect disciple Song Zhifeng was imprisoned. It was all thanks to Fellow Ye’s help that he was released!”
Ye Chen came to a realization, his expression softened a little.
Luo Shuiyao also reacted and could not help but exclaim, “You’re the Wudang Grandmaster, Li Xuanji? I thought that you passed away in meditation?”
Her heart was filled with disbelief.
Even Tang Jianfeng, Liu Qing, and the rest were shocked!
The Wudang Grandmaster, Li Xuanji!
Perhaps no one in the current age knew this name, but in the memories of the older generation, it was a legendary figure!
It was rumored that this person was the founder of Wudang Sect and had existed since the Qing Dynasty. He was an expert at deduction and alchemy and had always been aloof from worldly affairs.
The reason he was made a grandmaster traced back to a few decades ago. Several Martial Dao masters had joined forces to break into Wudang Sect and break the sword formation of the Seven Sons of Wudang Sect.
Just as the Wudang Sect was about to be wiped out, Li Xuanji took action and suppressed all the Martial Dao masters. However, he did not take their lives. Instead, he let them stay on the mountain for more than ten years before letting them go.
As he single-handedly suppressed several Martial Dao masters and repaid evil with kindness, whereby both his combat strength and temperament were exceptional, he was known as a grandmaster!
At that time, Li Xuanji was already 120 years old!
More than 60 years have passed since then…
Li Xuanji smiled faintly. He did not answer Luo Shuiyao’s question, “I didn’t expect someone in Shang Santian to know about me!”
He lifted his head to look at Ye Chen at the end of his speech and sighed softly, “Fellow Ye, I’m not going to be your enemy this time. I just want to stop you from killing people from Shang Santian. I can’t believe I got here too late.”
Just as they were talking, a violent cough came from afar. Subsequently, they saw an extremely disheveled man covered in blood slowly stand up from the ruins.
It was Guan Shanyue!
“He’s not dead?!”
Ye Chen’s eyes turned grim. He was about to walk over with killing intent on his face when Li Xuanji stopped him, “Fellow Ye, can you spare his life for me?”
“Spare his life?”
Ye Chen said while sneering, “Elder Priest Li, do you know about the grudge between me and Guan Shanyue? You can say that everything that happened today was caused by him!”
“Now that things have come to this, it’s no longer important whether or not I know about the grudge between you and him!”
Li Xuanji shook his head and said, “You absolutely cannot kill the Heavenly Palace Master, Guan Shanyue. Even if he’s guilty, he should be judged by the Celestial Master Hall. Furthermore, he has already been severely injured by you and most of his cultivation base has been lost. Why do you want to implicate yourself for such a person?”
“Celestial Master Hall?” Ye Chen frowned.
“That’s right, the Celestial Master Hall!”
Li Xuanji nodded slightly and said, “Above the Heavenly Palace and Dragon Soul, there’s the Secret Bureau, and the Secret Bureau covers the Celestial Master Hall. The reason why you have no idea is because we’ve never shown ourselves and rarely interfere in the matters of the cultivation world.”
He took a good look at Ye Chen when he said, “Fellow Ye, the world isn’t as simple as you think. You must listen to me.”
