Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 1191 - 1188: Calling on the City Lord Manor
Within the City Lord Manor:
The City Lord Pu Yinglong and Du Huoyang were sitting face to face, while below the hall, young girls in their prime were dancing gracefully.
For some reason, Pu Yinglong always had a sense of foreboding.
As for where this premonition came from, he couldn’t quite pinpoint it at the moment.
He thought carefully and then said to Du Huoyang, "Elder Du, that Ji Lingling has been smart and gifted since childhood. Since she has safely escaped, why would she risk returning to Tianyang City? There might be something suspicious about this."
Du Huoyang squinted, stroked his silvery white beard, and said nonchalantly, "Brother Pu need not worry. My disciple Tianye, under my careful guidance these years, has reached the Quasi-Nascent Soul stage. In our Black Cloud Sect, although there’s still some distance from becoming the Chief Disciple, entering the top five is no problem at all."
"Plus, with Yanqing and Zhang Xiong’s assistance, even if the opponent were a Nascent Soul Great Power, they would still have the strength to fight. You need not worry!"
Upon hearing Du Huoyang’s words, Pu Yinglong felt a bit relieved, yet he still felt somewhat uneasy.
Just then, a commotion suddenly erupted outside.
Du Huoyang, appeared deeply insightful and smiled, saying, "Look, they’ve already returned victoriously!"
However, before his words fell, Pu Yanqing’s cry, akin to a butcher slaying a pig, suddenly rang out from outside.
"Father, Master, save me, save me..."
Upon hearing Pu Yanqing’s plea, Pu Yinglong and Du Huoyang’s expressions changed dramatically.
The two exchanged glances, quickly got up, and rushed towards the door.
At that moment, Pu Yanqing, covered in blood and in utter disarray, was running over.
Seeing Pu Yanqing’s sorry state, Pu Yinglong immediately furrowed his brows and questioned, "Yanqing, what happened, why did you come back alone?"
Seeing his father and master, Pu Yanqing finally relaxed and, gasping heavily, said, "That Li Chen is essentially a monster, so, so, so formidable!"
Du Huoyang’s face immediately darkened, full of disbelief as he asked, "What did you say? Even combined, Tianye and Zhang Xiong were not his match?"
Pu Yanqing shook his head violently like a rattle drum, panting heavily and said:
"He, he, they couldn’t even withstand a single encounter with Li Chen, they were instantly killed!"
When saying this, Pu Yanqing also shuddered involuntarily. Clearly, he remained shaken by the recent bloody scene.
Upon hearing Pu Yanqing’s response, Du Huoyang and Pu Yinglong’s faces changed dramatically.
Both Zhang Xiong and Tianye were formidable, at least Half Nascent Soul level experts.
Together, they shouldn’t be instantly killed, even if facing a Nascent Soul Great Power, right?
Whether it was Pu Yinglong or Du Huoyang, neither could claim they possessed the ability to instantly kill either of them in a single exchange.
As they were still in shock, before recovering, a thunderous voice suddenly erupted in the void.
"Loose Cultivator Li Chen, paying a visit!"
With each word spoken, a rolling thunder erupted, stirring the wind and clouds, shaking the heavens and earth.
When the last word "visit" landed, a man and a woman suddenly tore through the void and appeared inside the City Lord Manor.
The silhouette of the woman, whether Du Huoyang or Pu Yinglong, was quite familiar.
It was Ji Lingling!
As for the young man, he was somewhat unfamiliar.
Or rather, had never been acquainted!
Seeing Li Chen and Ji Lingling chasing him all the way to the Manor, Pu Yanqing was instantly astounded, babbling in shocked cries.
"Father, Master, that’s Li Chen. It’s him who killed Zhang Xiong and Tianye..."
Seeing his son’s lack of composure, Pu Yinglong immediately glared at him fiercely.
"You worthless coward, shut up, such disgrace, are you not tired of it yet?"
Punished by his father, Pu Yanqing obediently closed his mouth.
Still, he dared not look at Li Chen, the God of Killing.
After reprimanding his son, Pu Yinglong stepped forward, respectfully saluting Li Chen.
"I, Pu Yinglong, believe we have neither past resentment nor recent animosity. May I inquire the purpose of your visit today, sir?"
However, before Pu Yinglong finished speaking, Ji Lingling’s eyes widened, and she shouted angrily, "Pu Yinglong, my Ji Family and your City Lord Manor have always stayed out of each other’s way. Yet you and your son, out of selfish interest, extinguished the Ji Family lineage, how can you shamelessly say there’s neither past resentment nor recent animosity?"
Upon hearing Ji Lingling’s accusation, Pu Yinglong’s face immediately turned solemn.
However, he did not directly answer Ji Lingling but rather looked at Li Chen.
"Sir, this is a feud between my City Lord Manor, the Black Cloud Sect, and the Ji Family, do you truly wish to intervene?"
Pu Yinglong intended to intimidate Li Chen using the Black Cloud Sect.
Unfortunately, this had no effect on Li Chen.
Not to mention the Black Cloud Sect, even if it were the planet’s superpower Greedy Wolf Hall, Li Chen wouldn’t flinch for a moment.
Li Chen glanced at Ji Lingling and said coldly, "She is now my woman, would you say I have a reason to intervene?"
Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Ji Lingling’s heart involuntarily warmed, feeling a gentle warmth nourished her heart, already riddled with scars.
Every time she felt most vulnerable, Li Chen would give her support and an indescribable sense of security.
Pu Yinglong, being blocked by Li Chen, was left speechless, while beside him, Du Huoyang snorted angrily.
"Humph, to oppose the City Lord Manor and our Black Cloud Sect for a woman, sir, isn’t that too impulsive?"
Li Chen glanced at Du Huoyang and Pu Yinglong, speaking coldly, "You talk too much. I’m here today, either to kill you or be killed by you!"
After speaking, he again gestured invitingly to Pu Yinglong and Du Huoyang.
Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Du Huoyang and Pu Yinglong were both furious.
They exchanged a glance simultaneously and shouted angrily, "Arrogant brat, you’re asking for death!"
Du Huoyang was the first to vent his anger, having mastered the Superior Cultivation Skill of the Black Cloud Sect, his attack was thunderous, powerful as the rivers, immediately locking onto Li Chen.
Seeing this terrifying scene, Ji Lingling couldn’t help but feel anxious.
She even regretted not stopping Li Chen from coming to this City Lord Manor.
After all, Du Huoyang was the Inner Sect Grand Elder of the Black Cloud Sect, his strength far exceeds ordinary Nascent Soul Great Power.
Du Huoyang’s cultivation was Late-stage Nascent Soul, his strength far surpassed the Red Sun Marquis and the Spiritual Spring Sect Deputy Sect Master, both Nascent Soul Middle Stage experts.
Nonetheless, in Li Chen’s eyes, they were the same.
All were merely ants!
Only that this particular ant was slightly stronger!
