219: You filthy scoundrel!

Immediately after, he swept his gaze wantonly over her entire body with a slightly playful look. "What kind of thing am I? Good question!"

"But remember for next time, don't be so aggressive when you don't know the other person's background. After all, I don't know your depth either. If I use too much force and it hurts you, that wouldn't be good, would it?"

Upon hearing this, Huan Ningshang glanced at Xiao Chen with a peculiar expression.

Seeing her husband seemingly flirting with that beautiful woman from the Hehuan Sect, Huan Meng pursed her lips slightly, appearing somewhat unhappy.

"stinking rogue!"

Jin Yueru's face was filled with shame and anger. Her jade-like hand trembled as she pointed at Xiao Chen; she naturally understood the underlying meaning of his words.

Xiao Chen smiled triumphantly, unconcerned.

At this moment, Soul Devourer frowned slightly and cast a disdainful gaze. "The Qixia Sect is already in our grasp. Isn't it a bit late for you to talk about cooperation now?"

"I am here to notify you, not to negotiate with you!"

Xiao Chen's words were spoken in an incredibly calm tone, yet they instantly incensed the Five Great Demonic Sects, and the entire main cabin immediately became a hubbub of noise.

Soul Devourer's gaze turned cold, and his chilling voice pierced through. "Arrogant junior, don't think that just because you defeated the Baili Clan, you can act wildly in our presence!"

"I have been in charge of the Netherworld Hall for over a thousand years. An arrogant junior like you is only fit to become a ghost within my soul capturing bell."

You Jue Tian's hand moved slightly within his sleeve, and a wisp of Devilish Qi silently spread toward Xiao Chen.

"Jie jie jie..."

Crimson Asura gave a sinister laugh as his cane hit the floor. "It's been a long time since I've encountered such an interesting junior."

Jin Wujiu glanced sideways at Xiao Chen and said gloatingly, "You dare to act tough in front of us? Let's see if you can walk out of here today!"

Huan Ningshang still said nothing, merely observing the development of the situation with interest. She was curious about how Xiao Chen would break the deadlock.

Xiao Chen's face remained calm as he looked around at everyone. Even when a wisp of Devilish Qi completely covered his body, he still had no reaction.

You Jue Tian sneered inwardly. It turned out he was just a useless person who was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, yet he dared to try and bluff them. He was simply seeking death!

Aside from Huan Ningshang, the other three Demonic Lords also showed playful expressions.

However, before they could rejoice for even three breaths of time, they witnessed a scene that terrified everyone.

They saw Xiao Chen's palm clench, and the Devilish Qi surrounding his body rapidly converged into his palm, forming a black ball.

He then swallowed it directly into his stomach, instantly severing the connection with You Jue Tian. Using pure Yang power to deal with this ordinary Devilish Qi was simply a dimensional suppression.

Except for Huan Ningshang and Huan Meng, everyone else stood frozen on the spot, unable to comprehend this inconceivable scene.

Due to the different Cultivation Techniques, the bodies of Righteous Path Cultivators were extremely repelled by Devilish Qi.

Once Devilish Qi entered the body, at best, one would be like Lei Qianqian's grandfather, suffering from demonic poison erosion for life; at worst, one would perish in a short time.

"Not bad, the Devilish Qi is quite pure!"

Xiao Chen glanced at the Hall Master of the Netherworld Hall and mocked him mercilessly, "Don't show off such petty tricks in front of me in the future, lest you make a fool of yourself."

"You!"

You Jue Tian flew into a rage, his eyes wide as brass bells. Behind him, the Elders of the Netherworld Hall also glared at Xiao Chen.

"You are truly becoming more and more to my liking!"

Crimson Asura's raspy voice rang out: "In that case, I would very much like to hear what this cooperation you speak of entails."

Hearing this, Xiao Chen did not beat around the bush and said straightforwardly:

"As everyone knows, the Baili Clan has long ruled the Eastern Region Continent, and the clan possesses many treasures and resources. If they can be wiped out, it would be a massive stroke of fortune, with gains comparable to a hundred first-rate Sects."

"Hahaha..."

Jin Wujiu couldn't help but laugh loudly. "You want to send us into a fiery pit, don't you?"

"Why do you say that?"

"The Baili Clan is deeply rooted in the Eastern Region Continent and relies on the sea, protected by the Azure Dragon Divine Sense. Wanting to destroy them is simply wishful thinking."

Soul Devourer also revealed a sinister sneer. "I also feel that compared to wiping out the Baili Clan, this Qixia Sect is much easier!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Chen's face turned cold, and he stared at him. "To tell you the truth, if I wanted to move against the Bloodthirsty Hall, you wouldn't exist for more than three months."

"Kid, how arrogant!"

The people from the Bloodthirsty Hall instantly erupted, terrifying Devilish Qi filling the entire space. Ten Nascent Soul Cultivators instantly flashed out, surrounding him.

Xiao Chen, however, remained calm and composed, showing no signs of vigilance on his face. He didn't even gather any spiritual power to resist the Devilish Qi.

Soul Devourer stared at Xiao Chen for a long time, and this old fox also began to have doubts in his heart.

The young man before him was far too calm; he didn't look like he was bluffing at all.

He then waved his hand, signaling everyone to retreat.

"I would like to hear how you plan to destroy my Bloodthirsty Hall."

Xiao Chen shook his head and sneered, "It's not that I look down on you! It's that you don't interest me at all!"

"With my status as a Fifth-Grade Alchemist, if I were to give a call to arms on the Cangxuan Continent, there would be plenty of people willing to risk their lives for me. Destroying a small Bloodthirsty Hall would be done in the blink of an eye!"

A Fifth-Grade Alchemist!

Upon hearing this, everyone present burst into loud laughter. A Fifth-Grade Alchemist had never appeared on the Cangxuan Continent; the highest level was only a Fourth-Grade Alchemist, and even those were extremely rare.

Because fifth-grade spirit herb was so rare, no one dared to use it for trial and error.

A Fifth-Grade Alchemist, even if one appeared, would only be found in those top-tier cultivation families in the Central State; it was impossible for one to appear in this desolate northwestern region.

Yet this young man before them, who was only forty years old, dared to boast shamelessly that he was a Fifth-Grade Alchemist!

Thus, except for the Sect Master of the Soul Refining Sect, the other four Demonic Lords launched a barrage of mockery at Xiao Chen.

You Jue Tian fiddled with the soul capturing bell in his hand and joked without hesitation, "Just because you can produce a Fifth-Grade Elixir, you dare to call yourself a Fifth-Grade Alchemist? Such a little trick might fool those small Sects that haven't seen the world!"

Soul Devourer was even more contemptuous: "I thought you had some clever methods, but it turns out you are just as vulgar!"

Crimson Asura blew on his beard and laughed loudly, "How about this: refine a Fifth-Grade Elixir in front of us so we can also broaden our horizons, hahaha..."

Jin Wujiu sat with his legs crossed, a hint of smugness unconsciously appearing on his face. "By offending all the Holy Lords, you, a self-proclaimed Fifth-Grade Alchemist, are truly seeking your own death!"

Xiao Chen didn't care at all and asked with a smile, "Then may I ask, do you have any fifth-grade spirit herb?"

"No!" Crimson Asura said impatiently. Even if he had such a rare treasure, he wouldn't bring it out for everyone to see.

"I'm sorry, but I do!"

Xiao Chen said calmly. With a thought, a Spiritual Plant shimmering with seven-colored brilliance appeared in his palm, its leaves resembling a lotus.

The aura it emitted was fresh and elegant; just a single whiff made one feel refreshed and relaxed.

Everyone present revealed incredibly fervent gazes.

"three thousand illusory heart lotus!" Crimson Asura exclaimed, staring intently at the Spiritual Plant in Xiao Chen's hand without his gaze shifting for a moment.
