126: Chapter 126 Greetings~

Before the words had even faded, a chill emerged from thin air.

Across this scorched earth, baked red by fire, snowflakes suddenly began to fall.

The surrounding temperature plummeted to freezing in an instant!

Amidst the swirling snow, every single snowflake seemed to hide a sharp, lethal intent!

Everyone looked up at the sky in succession.

They saw a woman in a white dress with a light veil over her face, drifting slowly down from the sky as if stepping on the snow.

Her temperament was as cold as an ice block, and she held a crystalline white jade pipa in her arms.

Because of the veil, her features were obscured, but her eyes carried an arrogance that looked down on everyone.

Feeling the fluctuations of energy from the woman, Chen Yan's heart tightened instantly. As he narrowed his eyes, he was frantically complaining in his mind.

"Damn it, where did this poser come from!?"

"Does she have to come with special effects? Acting like nobody has ever seen snow before!"

"With that look, you're trying to act cold and aloof?"

"You don't even measure up to one-hundredth of my Revered Master!"

"Pah! A pathetic imitation! What a joke!"

Chen Yan didn't recognize this woman, but Saintess Su Wanrou did!

The moment she appeared, the expression on Saintess Su Wanrou's face turned serious!

Her beautiful eyes were now filled with wariness!

She lowered her voice and said quickly to Chen Yan: "Be careful! She is Mei Ruxue of the Shadow Kill Pavilion, twenty-fourth on the hidden dragon ranking!"

"Her pipa Divine Ability can directly attack the Divine Soul; she is extremely difficult to deal with!"

Shadow Kill Pavilion!

Upon hearing these three words, Chen Yan noticed the Shadow Kill Pavilion insignia on the pipa in Mei Ruxue's hands!

His gaze turned cold in an instant!

Back in Qingyun City, the first time he almost died was thanks to the Shadow Kill Pavilion!

He still remembered that debt!

He just hadn't expected that before he could settle the score with the Shadow Kill Pavilion, these rats would run out on their own!

After landing, Mei Ruxue's cold Phoenix eyes swept across the entire scene.

Seeing the fear and awe in everyone's eyes, a look of satisfaction appeared on her face.

When her gaze finally fell on Chen Yan, a flash of light appeared in her eyes.

The Shadow Kill Pavilion's first failed mission was because of him!

And now that the Lihuo Immortal Abode had opened and Chen Yan had entered, naturally, she was the one to take over the mission!

Mei Ruxue looked at Chen Yan, her thin lips parted, and her voice was cold and filled with disdain.

"Chen Yan of the Taiqing Sword Sect?"

"A piece of trash who only knows how to stand behind a woman, relying on his looks!"

"Hand over the teleportation fragment, and I can guarantee you a safe departure from this place!"

"Otherwise!"

She glanced lightly at Saintess Su Wanrou and sneered: "Do you really think a slut can keep you safe?"

Saintess Su Wanrou's face sank, her eyes filled with anger: "Mei Ruxue! Keep your mouth clean!"

"If you want to die, I don't mind sending you on your way right now!"

The red silk on her body trembled slightly, and those white lotus flowers seemed ready to shoot out again.

This scared the surrounding Loose Cultivators, who quickly retreated another large distance!

"Stay calm!"

Unexpectedly, it was Chen Yan who gently patted Saintess Su Wanrou's shoulder and chuckled:

"Why bother arguing with a dog? If a dog bites you, are you going to bite it back?"

Upon hearing Chen Yan call her a dog, Mei Ruxue was instantly enraged: "Chen Yan! Are you truly not afraid of death?"

Chen Yan looked up at her and sneered: "Since when did the Shadow Kill Pavilion start negotiating with people?"

"Isn't it just that you want to trick me out of my teleportation fragment before killing me?"

"I stopped playing these kinds of tricks when I was three years old!"

"Shameless! Pah! Trash!"

He took out the teleportation fragment that was already taking shape and tossed it in his hand:

"If you have the ability, come and take it yourself!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole crowd was shocked.

They all looked at Chen Yan with eyes like they were looking at a madman.

Was this guy crazy?

Could he not see the terror of the woman in front of him?

That was a Late Nascent Soul stage powerhouse, someone ranked twenty-fourth on the hidden dragon ranking!

As a Mid Golden Core Stage, where did he get the guts to talk to Mei Ruxue like that?

Mei Ruxue's expression also instantly froze!

The Killing Intent in her heart could no longer be hidden and surged wildly!

She never expected!

A Golden Core Stage dared to speak to her like this!

"Very good! Truly a newborn calf unafraid of the tiger!"

"You don't think that just because you made the hidden dragon ranking, you can stand on equal footing with me, do you?"

"Since you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, then I have no choice but to send you on your way!"

As her words fell.

She lifted her slender hand, and her long fingers plucked the strings of the pipa.

Zheng!

An invisible sound wave, carrying a terrifying Killing Intent capable of tearing apart the soul, instantly locked onto both Chen Yan and Saintess Su Wanrou!

The surrounding Loose Cultivators perked up immediately!

They were fighting!

Finally fighting!

They gripped their Magic Treasures again, their eyes filled with greed.

As long as Mei Ruxue gained the upper hand, they would swarm in to pick up the scraps!

Saintess Su Wanrou's heart sank sharply.

As she channeled her technique, the red silk danced in front of them, creating an impenetrable defense!

"Boom!"

The sound wave slammed into the red silk, and the intense vibration caused Saintess Su Wanrou's blood to churn!

"Damn it!"

She could clearly feel that Mei Ruxue's cultivation was indeed much stronger than her own!

Even if she used her Divine Ability, she feared she might not necessarily win!

"Hmph! Overestimating yourself!"

Mei Ruxue smiled contemptuously, placed her hand on the pipa strings, and intended to attack again!

Chen Yan watched coldly, thoughts shifting in his mind.

He was about to shout "wait a moment"!

But just at that moment!

"Clang!"

A clear, resonant sword chime suddenly tore through space, coming from the horizon!

Following the sword chime, a terrifying Sword Intent suddenly suppressed the entire scene!

It actually forced Mei Ruxue's Killing Intent down!

Following right after was a roar full of confidence and fury!

It shook the entire Blazing Corridor!

"How bold! Daring to surround and kill a Disciple of my Taiqing Sword Sect!"

"You bastards, are you really not afraid of death?"

As that angry voice fell!

Boom!

A giant sword, as wide as a door panel, crashed into the ground!

Before everyone could react!

A huge, burly figure slammed down, kicking up a cloud of dust!

"Swish!"

The man was over two meters tall. With a grip of his large hand, he lifted the three-meter-long giant sword.

Pointing the sword at Mei Ruxue, he said coldly: "You lot from the Shadow Kill Pavilion, want to see if my sword is sharp?"

Seeing the Taiqing Sword Sect attire on that person, Chen Yan felt refreshed and his face lit up with wild joy!

The Sect members had arrived!

Immediately following that, several sword lights tore through the sky and arrived one after another!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The sword lights broke through the air and landed in front of Chen Yan and Saintess Su Wanrou, carving several bottomless sword marks into the ground.

As the light faded, seven or eight young figures were revealed.

These people were all Disciples of the Taiqing Sword Sect!

Among them was one who was broad and fat, with a round face!

But the energy on his body was as steady as Mount Tai, and he had already reached the Early Golden Core Stage cultivation!

Chen Yan looked at that face, which couldn't be more familiar, and laughed jokingly in surprise and joy:

"Fatty Qian! Not bad, three days apart and one must look at you with new eyes; when did you manage to reach the Golden Core Stage?"

It had only been a few days since they descended the mountain, when had this Fatty Qian passed his Golden Core tribulation?

But Qian Duoduo acted as if he hadn't heard him at all. His eyes were fixed on Saintess Su Wanrou, who was standing next to Chen Yan.

He straightened his slightly wrinkled clothes, took a deep breath, struck what he thought was his coolest pose, and the smile on his face was as sycophantic as it could possibly be.

"Miss Su, I am Qian Duoduo from the Alchemy Peak of the Taiqing Sword Sect!"

"The future Revered Master of the Alchemy Peak, and Chen Yan's good brother."

"Greetings, my lady~"
