155: Chapter 155: Yun Ruowei's Domineering Aura
Before his voice fell, the Aura around his body erupted violently, and the pressure of the Mid Golden Core Stage Peak crushed toward Xiao Yuan like a mountain!
He struck out with a palm, intending to kill Xiao Yuan on the spot!
Xiao Yuan raised an eyebrow, and was about to activate the Burning Blood Fierce Flame Burst to resist...
He had long guessed that Sun Rui would be driven to desperation, but what was there for him to fear? Even if he could not kill Sun Rui, he... could still manage to temporarily protect himself in his hands!
However, at this very instant!
Seven figures rushed onto the arena at the same time!
Peak Master Yun Ruowei! Yun Qingwan! Leng Youyue! Lin Zhirou! And three other Dan Peak Golden Core Elders!
Seven beautiful Golden Core powerhouses neatly blocked in front of Xiao Yuan!
Boom!
Seven palm forces blasted out simultaneously, colliding with Sun Rui's palm force!
Sun Rui's palm force shattered instantly, and he himself was even counter-shocked by the seven palm forces, spitting blood from his mouth and flying backwards!
Bang!
He heavily smashed onto the ground, struggling to crawl up, his face full of shock and anger.
"You... You dare to strike against me?!"
Peak Master Yun Ruowei looked at him coldly, her voice icy: "Sun Rui, do you not understand the rules of the Life-and-Death Arena? Your grandson was inferior in skill, so he deserved to die. You want to move against my Dan Peak's Disciple?"
She stepped forward, and the pressure of the Golden Core Peak erupted violently: "Ask me first whether I agree or not!"
Yun Qingwan sneered: "Just now I reminded you not to interfere. You didn't listen yourself, who are you blaming? Are you looking for death?!"
Leng Youyue: "Want to move Xiao Yuan? Get past us first!"
Lin Zhirou: "Your grandson was inferior in skill, so he deserved to die. If you dare to make a move again, we won't mind sending you down to accompany him!"
The other three Dan Peak Elders also stepped forward one after another, the seven women standing in a row, protecting Xiao Yuan behind them.
That Aura, that array, was simply overwhelmingly domineering!
The crowd off the stage looked on in dumbfounded amazement.
"All seven Golden Cores of Dan Peak are protecting Xiao Yuan?!"
"What background does this kid have?!"
"It's simply too enviable!"
Sun Rui's face was ashen, and bloodstains still hung at the corner of his mouth.
He looked at the seven women, and then looked at Xiao Yuan, who looked indifferent behind them, finally realizing... Today, he could not touch this kid.
"Good! Good!" He gnashed his teeth, "You Dan Peak, just remember this for me!"
Having spoken, he picked up Sun Yue's corpse and staggered away.
The crowd off the stage automatically made way for a path.
Xiao Yuan stood behind the seven women, looking at their backs, a warm current welling up in his heart.
Yun Qingwan turned her head and blinked at him.
"Brat, you did well."
Xiao Yuan grinned.
"Of course, just see whose Disciple I am."
Yun Wanqing looked at her Disciple with a somewhat amused smile, her eyes filled with pride, yet also some helplessness; this kid was truly a little slippery.
At this time, Peak Master Yun Ruowei glanced at the sea of people surrounding the martial arts arena.
Frowning, a light surged in the depths of her eyes, and not knowing what she thought of, she said indifferently: "Since matters here are concluded, we should also return. Xiao Yuan, you will return with us..."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan was slightly startled, meeting Peak Master Yun Ruowei's meaningful gaze, as well as the playful expressions of his Revered Master and the five Elders, his heart stirring.
This... this was probably going to be a joint trial for him.
After all, his performance just now, and the matter of the dan bell ringing nine times, had not been sorted out yet. They were suspecting him!
However, he could feel that the seven women harbored no malicious intent toward him, so he could only obediently nod.
Just like that, under the escort of the seven beautiful Golden Core Elders, Xiao Yuan walked down the arena.
He was protected in the middle, an array just like an emperor going on an inspection tour.
The surrounding Disciples who had not yet dispersed stared with wide-open eyes.
"Damn, all seven Golden Cores of Dan Peak are surrounding him?!"
"What kind of fortune does this kid have?!"
"Damn it, I'm dying of envy!"
The discussions rose one after another, filled with envy and jealousy.
The group had not walked far before their path ahead was blocked by a group of people.
Elders from various Peaks, along with a few Golden Core Stage powerhouses, each had burning gazes.
"Peak Revered Master Yun!" A white-haired old man stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Regarding the matter of the dan bell ringing nine times, shouldn't we investigate it further? We are very curious, who on earth triggered the dan bell ringing nine times?"
Peak Master Yun Ruowei's footsteps paused, and she said indifferently: "This matter is still under investigation."
"Investigation?" Another middle-aged female cultivator frowned, "Although the monitoring failed, who was doing Alchemy at that time can be known with a single check. Why must Peak Revered Master Yun hide and conceal it?"
"Right! The dan bell recognizing its Revered Master is a major event for the entire Sect!"
"Peak Revered Master Yun, you cannot just because that person is your Dan Peak's Disciple, you..."
A group of people chattered all at once, an array implying they would not let anyone go without asking out a result.
They clearly were not prepared to let go of this matter.
If Xiao Yuan hadn't confronted Chen Yin as soon as he came out earlier, and caused a farce with Chen Yin, they probably would have already found out whose hands the dan bell was in!
They seemed to care whose hands the dan bell was in, expressing that they would protect this person, but looking at their expressions, I'm afraid it wasn't as simple as they said!
Xiao Yuan stood in the center of the crowd, secretly rejoicing in his heart.
Fortunately, he had pulled that stunt with Chen Yin earlier and fought in the Life-and-Death Arena, muddying the waters.
Otherwise, the one being surrounded right now would be him alone. If those people really put their attention on the dan bell ringing nine times, they could definitely trace it to his head!
Peak Master Yun Ruowei stopped her footsteps and turned to look at that group of people.
The pressure of the Golden Core Peak spread out like a tide.
That group of people instantly quieted down.
Peak Master Yun Ruowei looked around, her voice not loud, but clearly transmitted into everyone's ears:
"Regarding the matter of the dan bell ringing nine times, this seat will naturally investigate it clearly. Once there is a result, I will naturally inform you all."
She paused, her gaze like a knife: "Now, all of you disperse."
Looking at her appearance, clearly, she did not want to continue investigating this matter; otherwise, she wouldn't have spoken like this!
Although all the Golden Core powerhouses could see it!
Yet there were still those who were unwilling: "Peak Revered Master Yun, we are also concerned about the Sect's supreme treasure..."
"Concerned?" Peak Master Yun Ruowei sneered, "Then this seat asks you, who the dan bell recognizes as its Revered Master, what does it have to do with you?"
That person was choked into silence.
Peak Master Yun Ruowei continued: "The dan bell is a Spirit Treasure and has its own spiritual intelligence. Since it has recognized its Revered Master, that is Heaven's will. Are you interrogating us here because you want to snatch it?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed in unison.
These words were too heavy! Although there were certainly no lack of people among them who harbored intentions, would they dare openly show this matter?!
Even though they were Golden Core powerhouses, in front of the Sect rules, they had to lower their heads!
Because above them, there were still Nascent Soul Old Ancestors, even if the Old Ancestors did not interfere in worldly affairs right now. But when it involved the dan bell, do you think they would not ask!?
"Peak Revered Master Yun is joking, how could we..."
"Then disperse." Peak Master Yun Ruowei interrupted him, waving her hand, "This seat has other matters, excuse us for not accompanying you further."
Having spoken, she brought Xiao Yuan and strode away proudly.
The seven Dan Peak Golden Cores followed closely behind; with that Aura and that pomp, unexpectedly no one dared to block them.
That group of Elders stood in place, looking at each other in dismay.
"This... they just left like that?"
"Otherwise? Do you dare to block them?"
"Golden Core Peak ah... can't afford to provoke them, can't afford to provoke them..."
"Forget it, forget it, let's go, let's go."
The group of people dispersed crestfallen.
