The spiritual energy was restored, and he became a mortal immortal in two days.

Qingcheng, at the east gate.

"Who are you!"

"Who are you?!"

"You didn't actually kill Old Xu, did you?!"

Hearing the indifferent voice coming from the jade slip, Xu Jingchen was furious and roared.

However, this time, he received no response.

"Young Master, Elder Xu always keeps the jade slip close to his body. Could something have really happened to him?"

Seeing this, the guards stepped forward and said with a grim expression.

Xu Jingchen turned his head sharply, staring at him with icy eyes, "Even if your whole family dies, Old Master Xu won't be in any danger."

This is Qingcheng, and the strongest here is Ye Li.

She had already assessed that even if she used Yue Liushuang, she could only fight Old Xu to a draw at best, and it wouldn't last long.

Besides, how long has it been?

A half-step Golden Core cultivator, who hadn't even made a fuss in the city, just vanished like that?

Absolutely impossible!

"Go there immediately and find out what happened!"

"Yes."

The guard dared not say another word and immediately did as instructed.

However, as soon as the attendants turned around, they heard a calm voice above their heads.

"Behave yourself and don't wander around aimlessly. It makes a mess and doesn't look good."

"Who goes there!"

The Xu family guards immediately became alert, drawing their swords and shouting sternly.

Following the sound, under the full moon, a figure in white was seen standing on the wall.

With his hands behind his back and his robes fluttering, his deep eyes slowly surveyed the crowd.

"Are you someone sent by Ling Xiao?" Xu Jingchen asked with a gloomy face.

"Tsk."

Chen Xuan rubbed his lips together, letting out a mocking sound, "Are you brainless?"

"We just spoke, can't you even recognize your voice?"

Xu Jingchen wanted to retort in a fit of rage, but the familiar voice struck him like a thunderbolt, leaving him frozen in place.

It really is the other party!

But how could that be!

This place is at least tens of kilometers away from where Mr. Xu is.

How long has it been since I cut off the communication?

Less than half a minute!

"Kill! All of you, attack and kill him!"

Xu Jingchen broke out in a cold sweat and ordered his dozen or so guards to attack Chen Xuan.

Without the slightest hesitation, he instantly summoned his flying artifact and activated it with all his might to escape.

Whether it's true or not, with Old Xu in trouble, Qingcheng is no longer a place to stay.

After making sure he was flying at a safe distance, he couldn't help but look back.

then.

Then I witnessed a scene I will never forget.

His guards, a dozen or so Foundation Establishment cultivators, all exploded into a bloody mist the instant they rushed toward that person.

It's as if the area three feet in front of the other party is an absolute forbidden zone, and any creature that tries to intrude will suffer severe damage.

Amidst the swirling blood mist, the figure slowly stepped out, dressed in white, untouched by a single drop of blood.

Chen Xuan raised his eyes and stared at him coldly.

scare!

Xu Jingchen was so frightened that he staggered and almost fell off the magic artifact. A chill ran through his head and his whole body felt cold.

He urged the magical artifact on even more desperately, sparing no expense.

escape!

Something very strange has happened in Qingcheng, run!

"Where can you run to?"

A calm voice suddenly rang in his ears.

Xu Jingchen turned his head and was immediately stunned into standing still.

This person had somehow appeared in front of him.

"How...how can you be so fast?"

His voice was filled with fear and deep unease, completely devoid of his previous arrogance and haughtiness.

In just a short while, with the help of the magical artifact, I have run at least ten miles.

This person not only killed all the guards, but also managed to catch up with them in the blink of an eye? Such speed is unheard of!

Chen Xuan said indifferently, "Look down, see if anyone has run away?"

Xu Jingchen subconsciously lowered his head, momentarily stunned.

No!

He didn't run a single step! He was still standing in the same spot! Even the paving stone beneath his feet was the same one he had been standing on!

"What...what...what did you do to me?"

His voice was stuttering and trembling; the scene before him was beyond his comprehension.

"Still brainless."

Chen Xuan said impatiently, "Can't you even understand that I'm keeping you chained up like a dog?"

With the ability to shrink the earth to a foot, no matter how far he runs, he can't escape this territory.

Xu Jingchen took a few deep breaths, desperately suppressing the anger in his chest, his eyes bloodshot: "Aren't you afraid of the Xu family's retaliation for treating me like this?"

This is humiliating!

The other party's indifferent tone and nonchalant words were full of contempt.

As the young master of the Xu family, when have I ever suffered such humiliation!

"Is there a difference between a litter of dogs and a single dog?" Chen Xuan said indifferently.

"My grandfather, the Supreme Elder of the Xu family, is a Golden Core cultivator with a lifespan of five hundred years!"

"He's not a fool from the Dharma-ending Age, nor one of those nameless rogue cultivators, but a Golden Core cultivator who has lived for hundreds of years and possesses a complete lineage!"

Xu Jingchen's voice was hysterical, trying to prove that, for him, the Xu family's authority was above all else.

"I was too hasty."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan nodded, "A golden core that has been around for hundreds of years is probably not even as good as a pig or a dog."

"What do you know!"

"You don't understand at all!"

"You're deliberately humiliating me!"

After a moment of stunned silence, Xu Jingchen roared in a hoarse voice, his eyes almost bursting with bloodshot veins.

Then, he abruptly turned his head, staring in a certain direction, "Ye Li, what exactly does Lingxiao mean? Do you really want to kill me?!"

Ye Li arrived five minutes earlier. She stepped out of the darkness, ignoring Xu Jingchen's roar, and looked at Chen Xuan instead.

"He is the young master, a man of noble status. If he is killed, the Xu family's Supreme Elder will not let it go, and the situation may get out of control."

"We are still counting on the Xu family's help to use their soul-searching techniques to find the people from the Blood Luo Palace."

Ye Li was very restrained and rationally explained the facts.

If the Xu family goes berserk, the stable situation that Ling Xiao has worked so hard to maintain will be shattered.

Chen Xuan glanced at her. "You really study swordsmanship, don't you?"

Ye Li was silent for a moment, then nodded blankly. She didn't understand why Chen Xuan would suddenly say this.

In that very short moment.

Chen Xuan's palm had already landed, lightly patting Xu Jingchen's head.

Xu Jingchen thought he had been let go, and a look of wild joy appeared on his face.

But soon, before the joy had faded, a tremendous force suddenly erupted within him.

His expression turned one of utter terror and disbelief; this person actually dared to kill him?

His calves, thighs, waist, spine, all the way up to his face, including his head...

boom!

The force exploded, blasting everything to pieces, leaving it unrecognizable.

Then, with another bang, all the corpses turned into a blood mist that drifted away in the night.

Ye Li stood there, stunned, unable to recover for a long time.

Chen Xuan dusted off the ashes from his robes and walked into the night.

"If you can grow wings on your own, why look up to a ladder to the clouds?"

His voice only echoed through the air after he left.

Lost in thought, Ye Li was struck as if by lightning. Her heart was instantly moved, and the barrier that had always bound her began to loosen.

A moment later, she slowly raised her head, her eyes shining like stars, and bowed deeply in greeting.

"Thank you for your guidance, sir."

A swordsman should never bend or break; he should have a sharp, unyielding spirit and never hesitate to move forward!

If you're always afraid, what's the point of practicing swordsmanship?
