99: The party's over! Some people wanted to keep the guests!

While Ling Qingzhu rushed anxiously toward the Everlasting Su Family, the void turbulence on the battlefield was still raging. The pitch-black void at the center, blasted open by the clash of two quasi-emperor weapons, was like an unhealable, ugly scar hideously sprawled between heaven and earth, greedily devouring everything around it.

Wang Zhantian had arrived.

This uncrowned king of the Northern Region descended upon the ruins with a domineering posture of a sovereign ruling over the world.

The Heavenly Sword Array, composed of over a hundred Wang Family warships, completely sealed off all escape routes from this world. The golden runic light barrier was like an inverted giant bowl, imprisoning everyone within.

His eyes, filled with endless fury and Killing Intent, were like two invisible imperial swords slowly scanning the scene.

Every Cultivator swept by his gaze, regardless of their cultivation level, felt as if their Divine Soul had been thrown into a ten-thousand-year-old ice cave, and even their thoughts were about to be frozen.

It's over!

This was the only thought in the minds of all the surviving bandits.

They were originally hunters looking to "prey on other predators," but they hadn't expected to step into a battlefield where gods were fighting. Having barely survived the aftermath of the quasi-emperor weapons' clash, they had instantly become fish on the chopping block for the peerless powerhouse that was the Wang Family Head.

This scene was more hopeless than Hell.

Atop the peak of a solitary mountain, in the VIP viewing seats.

Su Chen watched the tense scene below that was about to break out into a full-blown fight and let out a satisfied burp.

"Alright, alright, the post-credits scene is over; it's time to leave." He lazily climbed up from his recliner and gave a long stretch, his bones cracking with a series of pops.

This grand play, from the appetizer to the main course and then to the dessert, had everything; it was practically perfect.

Although that big sucker named Wang Teng wasn't very bright, his willingness to spend money was a plus. He had put on an epic firework show for him using five hundred billion High-Grade Spirit Stones, which had been quite entertaining.

[That's enough, I'm satisfied. Time to go back and sleep!]

[If we don't leave now, once that guy named Wang kills everyone and finds two survivors, he'll definitely come over to ask if we're accomplices. That would be too much trouble.]

[I'm a law-abiding citizen who never participates in such illegal gatherings involving fighting and killing.]

Su Chen patted the non-existent dust off his bathrobe, putting on the air of a master who "leaves once the task is done, hiding his name and merit," and turned around, preparing to slip away.

"Husband, leaving so soon?"

Ye Linghan also stood up. She glanced at Wang Zhantian below, who was brimming with Killing Intent and ready to start a massacre. In her eerie phoenix eyes, a light that thrived on chaos flickered.

"Aren't you going to stay and see how this Wang Family Head avenges his precious son?"

"No," Su Chen replied decisively. "Bloody scenes aren't suitable for children. Besides, didn't you see? That guy named Wang has 'my son is dead' written all over his face and is covered in hostility. What if he goes on a killing spree and treats us as enemies too?"

As he spoke, he urged, "Let's go, let's go, hurry up. My pig is still waiting for me. I'm a bit stuffed from all this drama today; I need to go back and have a bowl of pig brain soup to digest it all."

Ye Linghan was amused by his peculiar way of thinking and didn't say more, allowing him to pull her as they prepared to tear through space.

However, at the very moment Su Chen was about to activate the Great Void Technique...

A domineering and peerless Divine Thought, as if it could imprison heaven and earth, crashed down like an invisible divine mountain, firmly locking onto the two of them!

Immediately following that, Wang Zhantian's cold, majestic, and emotionless voice echoed through the world from below.

"You two have watched the show for so long; do you really think you can just leave like this?"

Su Chen's movement to tear space suddenly froze.

His face instantly darkened.

[Holy crap! No way?!]

[I'm hiding so damn far away and so covertly, yet I still got discovered?!]

[Does this guy named Wang have radar in his eyes? Or am I just too handsome that I glow even in the dark?]

He complained wildly in his heart, but on his face, he squeezed out what he thought was his kindest and most innocent smile. He turned around and cupped his hands toward Wang Zhantian below from a distance.

"This Fellow Daoist, it's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!"

"I'm just a passerby. I happened to see some fireworks here and stayed a bit longer. Please continue; just pretend we don't exist. We'll leave immediately and won't disturb you while you handle your family matters!"

Su Chen's attitude was humble to the extreme, just short of saying, "Big brother, I was wrong, I'm just a nobody, please let me go."

Hearing this, Wang Zhantian frowned slightly.

He had naturally discovered the existence of these two long ago.

It was just that they had been staying quietly on the solitary peak and hadn't participated in the siege, so he hadn't bothered with them initially.

But now that everyone on the scene was sealed off by him and only these two wanted to leave, he naturally had to question them clearly.

He was just about to speak.

From the flagship, a Wang Family Elder stepped out from the crowd, pointed at Su Chen, and shouted sternly, "Family Head! Do not listen to his sophistry!"

"This person is the Divine Son of the Su Family!"

"I saw it with my own eyes; he and that Witch have been inseparable and intimate since the auction began! When the owner of the Nine Serenities Soul-Losing Bell was bidding against Young Lord Wang Teng for the void immortal gold, these two were watching with great interest from the Star Gazing Platform!"

"In my opinion, these two aren't passersby at all; they are in cahoots with that group of bandits!"

"They just wanted to sit on the sidelines and watch the tigers fight, waiting for us and the bandits to exhaust each other before stepping in to reap the benefits!"

This Elder spoke with righteous indignation and clear logic, as if he had personally witnessed the entire process of Su Chen and the bandits dividing the spoils.

As soon as he finished speaking, over a thousand gazes filled with Killing Intent from the entire Wang Family fleet simultaneously focused on Su Chen and Ye Linghan!

Being locked onto by over a thousand gazes, especially those including three Great Sages and a quasi-emperor level powerhouse, felt like being stripped naked and thrown into an Arctic ice cave while someone continuously poured ice water over you.

Su Chen felt like his scalp was about to explode.

He stared blankly at the eloquent Wang Family Elder below who was twisting the facts, completely stunned.

[Holy shit...]

[This guy is a freaking genius!]

[It's a waste of talent for him not to write novels! With that imagination, logical reasoning, and ability to frame people, the Oscars couldn't go on without him!]

[I was just here for the drama! How did I become the mastermind behind the scenes?!]

At this moment, Su Chen felt more wronged than Dou E.

Beside him, after hearing the Elder's words, the hint of a playful smile that had been on Ye Linghan's face instantly vanished.

A cold, eerie, and terrifying aura, seemingly from the deepest depths of the Nine Serenities Abyss, began to slowly emanate from her body.

Those world-toppling phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and the dark red demonic flames deep within them began to leap violently.

She looked at the group of Wang Family members below who were pointing at them and brimming with Killing Intent, as if she were looking at a group of ants that were already dead.

"Noisy."

Two words were softly exhaled from her alluring red lips.

The voice wasn't loud, but it carried a supreme demonic prestige that could freeze the Soul.
