316: Threat

Thus, suppressing his anger, he patiently stated, "Clan Head Liang, our Young Master Fei possesses the rare Evergreen Immortal Body, and your daughter happens to have a Wood Spirit Body."

"A marriage alliance between our two families would be a union of powers. One day, it wouldn't be impossible for us to dominate the Cangxuan Continent."

"This matter depends on Hai Wei herself. I am old; she makes her own decisions."

Liang Yuan finished speaking and looked at his daughter with affection. "Hai Wei, are you willing to marry Young Master Baili?"

"I am not!"

"You see, it's not that I'm being unreasonable, but my precious daughter simply doesn't think much of that so-called Evergreen Immortal Body."

"You!"

Before Elder Xu could speak, Baili Fei instantly flared up, pointing angrily at Liang Haiwei. "You blind woman, don't you dare regret this!"

"Rest assured, I won't regret it!"

Xiao Chen pulled Liang Haiwei directly into his arms and said indifferently to Baili Fei, "I told you long ago, she is my woman. Do you not understand?"

"Who do you think you are? A mere Pure Yang Sacred Body still in its growth phase, and you dare to act arrogant before me?"

"Oh?"

With a faint smile, Xiao Chen beckoned him with a finger. "Then do you dare to have a fair fight with me? To decide not just victory and defeat, but life and death!"

"Just what I wanted!"

Baili Fei gritted his teeth and glanced at Liang Haiwei. "I will make you see with your own eyes that your choice was incredibly foolish!"

Elder Xu rushed forward and grabbed his arm. "Young Master, you mustn't! This person's strength is unfathomable. You must not be reckless!"

Another Elder also hurriedly tried to dissuade him. "Yes, Young Master. Before we left, the Clan Chief repeatedly ordered that we must not... must not have any conflict!"

"A mere Nascent Soul Stage First Level is enough to terrify you? Do you think my Evergreen Immortal Body is just for show?"

"Young Master, this is no time to play the hero. You must listen to us!" Elder Xu said with a solemn expression.

Nineteen Advanced Nascent Soul Cultivators had returned in a sorry state after facing Xiao Chen. No matter how overbearing the Evergreen Immortal Body was, it couldn't possibly reach that level.

But since this was a matter of dignity, Elder Xu naturally wouldn't tell him that.

Seeing the serious advice from the Elders, Baili Fei showed a hint of hesitation. He was very aware of Elder Xu's strength.

If even he said so, it was clear the man before him did indeed have extraordinary traits.

"What, scared already? Young Master Baili is at the Nascent Soul Stage Second Level and possesses the rare Evergreen Immortal Body, yet you're actually afraid of me, a mere Nascent Soul Stage First Level?"

"You..."

"You what?!"

Xiao Chen continued to provoke him. "If you can't afford to lose, then kowtow and apologize to me. If I'm feeling generous, I might even let you carry my shoes!"

"Outrageous!"

Baili Fei had never suffered such an insult; his eyes turned blood-red, and his eyeballs nearly bulged out of their sockets.

Elder Xu quickly stepped forward, grabbed the fuming Baili Fei, and pulled him toward the Mountain Gate. "Young Master, let's go. Ignore him!"

"Young Master Baili, don't you want to see what this is?" A shimmering shadow recording stone appeared in Xiao Chen's palm.

Out of curiosity, after recording it at the time, he had made a copy. One of them had already been destroyed by Baili Jiang.

Baili Fei glanced at it, and as a look of confusion appeared on his face, Xiao Chen's Soul Sound rang in his ear: "Committing adultery with your own stepmother—Young Master Baili certainly knows how to have fun!"

!!!

Baili Fei's face instantly turned deathly pale, his body stiffened, and the Spiritual Qi within him fell into chaos. That simple sentence was like a thunderclap exploding in his soul.

He immediately shook off Elder Xu, his finger trembling as he pointed at Xiao Chen. "You despicable, shameless villain!"

Looking at the shadow recording stone in Xiao Chen's hand, everyone present showed expressions of confusion. Could there be some secret hidden within that stone?

"I'm just an observer. How does that make me a villain?"

"You bastard, what exactly do you want?"

"This isn't a good place for a discussion."

Xiao Chen squeezed the small hand in his palm and said softly, "Senior Sister, be good and wait for me to return."

"Alright, be careful, Junior Brother." Liang Haiwei's face flushed slightly.

Xiao Chen nodded and turned to give Liang Yuan a look. With a wave of Liang Yuan's sleeve, a gap about ten feet wide appeared in the Clan Protection Array.

"If you're sincere, then follow me. You only have one chance." After saying that, Xiao Chen took to the air and quickly passed through the gap in the array.

"Young Master, don't go."

Elder Xu hurriedly tried to stop him. "That kid is insidious and cunning! Young Master, you must not fall for it!"

Baili Fei flicked his sleeve, no longer able to listen to any advice, and commanded the Elders of the Baili Clan:

"None of you are allowed to follow me! Otherwise, don't blame me for turning against you!"

Even though he knew Xiao Chen had set a trap, he had no choice but to walk into it.

Once the images in that shadow recording stone were leaked, he would no longer be able to stand his ground on the Cangxuan Continent and would even become the subject of people's idle gossip.

Having said that, Baili Fei's figure flashed as he quickly passed through the gap in the Formation and pursued Xiao Chen's trail.

The Elders of the Baili Clan were stomping their feet in anxiety; they knew full well how formidable Xiao Chen was.

Elder Xu was even more distraught, so he instructed the other Elders, "You stay here. I will go protect the Young Master."

With that, at the last moment before the gap in the Formation closed, Elder Xu's figure flashed and he took to the sky.

Xiao Chen flew ahead for tens of thousands of miles before slowly stopping and looking at Baili Fei with interest.

"Speak, what do you want?"

"It's simple. Hand over that defensive secret treasure you have, and I will immediately destroy this shadow recording stone."

"Hahaha..."

Baili Fei burst into laughter, his eyes narrowing. "You want my azure dragon sacred heart? You're daydreaming!"

Xiao Chen was secretly shocked. He had felt that the protective light was extraordinary at the time; so it was such a treasure. Fortunately, he hadn't acted rashly then.

As an ancient Divine Beast, the Azure Dragon specialized in protective power, and its sacred heart was a treasure with extremely strong defensive capabilities. Whether the dark demon scythe could penetrate it was secondary; it would be a pity if such a treasure were destroyed!

"I advise you to be smarter."

Xiao Chen shook the shadow recording stone in his hand. "After today, I will record tens of millions of copies of this and distribute them to every corner of the Cangxuan Continent."

"Not only will I let cultivators observe it, but I'll also let the men of the mortal kingdoms admire Young Master Baili's style and... that enchanting beauty's figure!"

Xiao Chen emphasized the last few words heavily.

Baili Fei trembled with rage but was helpless, so he could only probe:

"Humph, how do I know if that shadow recording stone is real?"

The corners of Xiao Chen's mouth curled up slightly as a ray of profound light flew from his fingertip and entered the shadow recording stone.

An erotic scene immediately appeared before them; the intense actions and the ecstatic expressions were incredibly clear.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Three black lines immediately appeared on Baili Fei's face as he hurriedly reached out to stop him:

"Turn it off! Turn it off right now!"
