"Yes, yes, yes!"
Chai Yu and Chai Hao nodded furiously, like chickens pecking at grain.
Chai Yu, in particular, rushed forward, picked up the whip Ruan Ling’Er had dropped, and with a vicious expression, lashed out at her.
They say women are cruelest when fighting other women.
And it was true!
Chai Yu swung the whip, aiming specifically for those proud peaks.
The whip strikes made Ruan Ling’Er scream in agony. Her clothes tore, and she could no longer feign toughness, immediately beginning to beg wretchedly for mercy.
"How’s that? Is this enough?"
Chen Xuan turned his head to look at Chai Yuan.
Chai Yuan was immensely satisfied. He looked at Ruan Qi, who was still kowtowing on the ground, and stomped his foot on Ruan Qi’s head. "Ruan Qi, so you have a day like this too, huh? Didn’t expect this, did you? You’d better drop that arrogant attitude around me from now on. Otherwise, I’ll beat you every time I see you!"
"I understand, I understand..."
Ruan Qi quickly replied.
He knew he could never win against Chen Xuan in this lifetime.
Even if his family could stand up for him, that Chen Xuan had an old man following him, who was clearly a Guardian as well.
And if that wasn’t enough, Chen Xuan also had Chu Shanhe behind him...
Would the Ruan family really fight to the death with Chu Shanhe just for his sake?
That was obviously impossible!
"And my Spirit Jade! Give me back my Spirit Jade!"
Chai Hao rushed out, snatched the Spirit Jade from Ruan Ling’Er’s neck, and roared, "Are you blind? How dare you steal my things?"
"I won’t steal it again, I don’t dare..."
Ruan Ling’Er was covered in blood, her heart filled with venomous resentment.
’Damn you, Chen Xuan!’
’Damn you, Chai Hao!’
Just as Chen Xuan was about to leave, he suddenly turned back. His gaze was icy and terrifying as it landed on Ruan Ling’Er. His body moved as if teleporting, and in an instant, he appeared right in front of her.
"Show me that expression of yours again!"
Chen Xuan bellowed.
’How dare she be resentful?’
"Ah, no, I wasn’t..."
Ruan Ling’Er replied in a panic, terrified.
’She hadn’t expected Chen Xuan to be able to read her expression.’
"No?"
Chen Xuan grabbed a handful of her hair, yanked her up, and said, "Who the hell are you trying to fool? Your eyes are full of hate, your heart is defiant, and you’re already thinking about how to get back at me later, aren’t you? Do you know what I hate the most? I hate it when people plot against me behind my back. Tell me, should I just smash you to death right here?"
"No, I know I was wrong, I was really wrong, please don’t kill me..."
Ruan Ling’Er completely broke down, tears streaming down her face, utterly terrified.
"Get over there and kneel! Don’t you dare get up!"
Chen Xuan threw her aside, and she slammed into the ground some distance away. He said coldly, "If you even think about getting up, I’ll beat you to death. I guarantee I’ll turn you into a bloody pulp!"
At this point, he suddenly glanced back at Old Deng.
"Can the Martial Alliance handle the Ruan family?"
"Ah, yes, we can handle them."
Gu Xinghe nodded repeatedly, also stunned by Chen Xuan’s methods.
’This kid is a real piece of work!’
’It’s a good thing I came along.’
’Otherwise, who knows how big of a mess he would have made?’
"Good enough!"
Chen Xuan nodded again, looked at Ruan Ling’Er, and said, "Kneel properly! If you move, I’ll kill you!"
Ruan Ling’Er was completely broken. Kneeling in the distance, tears gushed from her eyes uncontrollably.
’All she did was feel a flash of resentment...’
’It’s not like he was actually harmed in any way.’
’Why?’
’Why is he doing this to me?’
[Detected a woman at the Second Layer of True Essence whose mentality has collapsed. +18,000 retribution points!]
At their side, Chai Yuan, Chai Hao, and Chai Yu were once again completely stunned by what they were seeing.
They had all heard that Yama Chen’s methods were terrifying.
Today, they had finally experienced it for themselves.
When it came to humiliating people, he was simply merciless.
And another thing!
’He can even perceive people’s expressions?’
’That’s truly terrifying!’
"Brother Chai, are there more inside?"
Chen Xuan asked coolly.
"Yes, yes, there are."
Chai Yuan quickly said, "The people from Celestial Might Mountain and Celestial Killing Mountain are no good either. They ganged up on me before, beat me, my brother, and my sister black and blue, and even threatened to beat me every time they saw me."
"Let’s go. We’ll go in and see."
Chen Xuan’s tone was indifferent.
"Let’s go, I’ll lead the way!"
Chai Yuan hurriedly took the lead.
"Chen Xuan, I won’t go in. I’ll wait for you out here!"
the little old man said.
"Okay."
Chen Xuan responded without turning his head and disappeared into the spatial rift ahead.
Chai Yu and Chai Hao immediately became cocky, skipping ahead excitedly.
...
「Inside the mystic realm.」
Floating platforms drifted in mid-air, surrounded by restrictive wards.
The platforms were few in number.
They were currently the subject of fierce competition among many people.
Upon entering, they saw many people already fighting, vying for the remaining platforms.
"Brother Chen, this is the inside of the mystic realm. Be careful of the space between the platforms. It’s filled with wards. If you get too close, countless bolts of lightning and bursts of flame will appear and severely injure you."
Chai Yuan immediately whispered in Chen Xuan’s ear.
"Lightning? Fire?"
Chen Xuan was surprised.
’Aren’t those my attributes?’
’What a coincidence!’
"Who was it that beat you up just now? Call them over. Have them kneel, one by one! And slap them, one by one!"
Chen Xuan’s tone was nonchalant.
’In his eyes, these were all just a bunch of kids.’
’Not a single one of them was worth his time.’
’Beating them up felt beneath him.’
’After all, he was at the Inner Realm Fourth Layer!’
’And them?’
’The strongest was only... hmm, the eighth or ninth layer of True Essence...’
’That was decent enough, I suppose.’
’Anywhere else, they would be considered supreme prodigies, but compared to him, they were nothing.’
"Alright!"
Chai Yuan’s heart pounded with excitement. He took a step forward and roared, "All you trash from Celestial Might Mountain and Celestial Killing Mountain, get the hell out here! Fuck your mothers!"
He infused that shout with his True Essence. The sound was immense, vast and mighty, and it shook the entire mystic realm.
It was like a muffled clap of thunder, a loud BOOM that rang in everyone’s ears.
