Chapter 175 117, the day of ascension to the throne, the legacy begins!
Xu Yuan's move was too sudden and far too quick.
It was not only Zhong Sheng at the early Core Formation stage who failed to react, but even Lan Mei at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage also failed to fully respond.
No, it's more accurate to say that she did react, but not entirely.
If Xu Yuan had aimed to kill her, she could ensure her own safety.
But he had targeted Zhong Sheng, who was only at the early stage of Core Formation.
"You!?"
Zhong Sheng looked down at the hand that pierced through his chest, his eyes widened in disbelief, and as he gasped for air, he stared intently at the expressionless Xu Yuan, seemingly unable to comprehend how Xu Yuan could be so ruthlessly bold.
"Attacking a fellow sect member is a grave sin. Xu Yuan... how dare you!?"
Blood spilled from the corners of his mouth as Zhong Sheng then revealed a maniacal smile.
Lan Mei looked at the shattered image in the Illusory Realm in the palm of her hand, first shocked, then immediately understanding why the footage recorded by Zhong Sheng earlier was fake.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
But following that, a mix of rage and unease cascaded over her.
Even after yesterday's chaos caused by the loose cultivators, only two disciples of the Eight Great Sects were captured, with no casualties. She had not expected that on her watch, a precedent would be set.
And it was even more significant since it was a death at the hands of another disciple from her own Sect. Should this news spread, both she and the Heavenly Dao Sect would be the laughingstock of others.
"Xu Yuan."
Lan Mei's face turned slightly blue, and her voice became harsher, "Do you realize what you are doing?"
She had not expected Xu Yuan to be so resolute and unreasonable in his actions, nor had she imagined that Zhong Sheng, despite being at the same early stage of Core Formation, would be so fragile.
Despite being a Saint Heir of the Sect, he turned out to be so useless.
But this was normal, after all, Xu Yuan, without using any ace up his sleeve, could already contend against three at the Great Perfection of the Core Formation stage without falling behind, not to mention his strength now.
One move could lead to significant consequences; acting against Xu Yuan was not impossible, but involving Lin Qingque and Tian Liuli necessitated careful consideration.
"Is Nascent Soul Great Perfection that remarkable?"
A cold smile formed on Tian Liuli's lips, and her presence became even more significant and agitated.
In her hand, a delicate Liuli Tower with an immortal aura of ancientness hovered uncertainly.
Behind her, an ominous crack exuding a terrifying atmosphere appeared and disappeared intermittently.
—Emperor's Abyss.
Seeing this, Xu Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
Heavenly Emperor Liuli Body, Liuli Nine Heavens Tower, Emperor's Abyss.
He hadn't expected Tian Liuli to have already mastered three of the Nine Great Dharmakayas.
Usually, cultivators only begin to prepare for these Dharmakayas after reaching the Mahayana Realm, but Tian Liuli had started from the very beginning of her cultivation.
"Fairy Lan, the coronation ceremony is about to begin soon."
As the deadlock continued, the silent Jing Lixue finally spoke up, "Is there any way we could discuss this after I return from my coronation?"
Lan Mei saw this as Jing Lixue giving her a way out.
However, the crux of the problem was not this point but that he had violated the Sect rules.
"Do you also seek to threaten me?"
Her face grew stern, and her spiritual power fluctuated more noticeably.
Xu Yuan remained calm.
His actions might seem rash in anger, but they were actually carefully calculated.
