173: A tree stands out in the forest

Chi Yuan, Luo Yi, and the others flushed red, not daring to utter a sound.

Damn it!

Devil Feathers roared inwardly, his head bowed, his eyes flashing with a crazy killing intent, already furious to the extreme.

Boom!

Suddenly, the pressure descending upon him abruptly increased tenfold, and with a crackling sound, blue blood gushed out, and Devil Feathers's entire skeletal structure instantly shattered.

His whole body instantly turned into a puddle of mud!

"You seem a little unconvinced?"

Wu Ning looked at him with calm eyes, his gaze as still as an ancient well, as if looking at livestock like pigs or cattle, which he could crush at will.

To him, the Demon Race, though appearing human-like, were indeed not Human Race.

They were no different from chickens or dogs.

A hint of terror appeared in Devil Feathers's eyes; the pressure descending upon him not only pressed down on his Physical Body but also on his Divine Soul.

A thick sense of death enveloped him.

He had no doubt that if he dared to reveal even a trace of killing intent again, he would be instantly obliterated.

"Spare... spare me!"

Devil Feathers pleaded with difficulty, his eyes showing respect, not daring to reveal any more killing intent.

"Hmph!"

Wu Ning snorted lightly, withdrawing all pressure.

"Alright, all of you, scram."

He waved his hand lazily, and Devil Feathers, Chi Yuan, and the others, as if granted a great amnesty, immediately piloted their ancient ships and chariots, fleeing as if for their lives.

In an instant, they vanished into the vast starry sky.

"Gulp..."

A person from the Hengyu Heaven Realm whispered, "Young Master, what... what should we do?"

Cang Lin's expression was extremely solemn, and he gently waved his hand, "We're leaving too!"

"Yes!"

On the other side, the people from the Purple Azure Heaven Realm and Wan Dao Heavenly Palace also stopped.

Gu Chen looked at Wu Ning with a solemn gaze, then glared fiercely at Duan Chao.

"Go!"

All the people from the Purple Azure Heaven Realm quickly departed.

Soon, only the people from the Taichu Ancient Realm remained around.

Inside Taichu Ancient City, countless people looked at Wu Ning with awe, their eyes filled with shock and curiosity.

At this moment, Wu Tian Ce led the Wu Clan members forward.

"Greetings, Dao Child!"

The few of them bowed, though their age and seniority were above Wu Ning's, the Dao Child's status within the clan was much higher than theirs.

Moreover, the terrifying strength Wu Ning displayed also made them sincerely convinced.

"Everyone, no need for formalities."

Wu Ning naturally wouldn't think too highly of himself; he returned the bow, a gentle smile appearing on his face, completely different from before.

A moment later.

In Taichu Ancient City, the Wu Clan Manor.

"Greetings, Dao Child!"

"Greetings, Dao Child!"

Tens of thousands of Wu Clan members prostrated themselves, looking excitedly at the Dao Child before the main hall, their eyes filled with fervent admiration.

Annihilating a Quasi Immortal Emperor with a single glance, and suppressing people from the Demon Race and Asura God Realm!

All of this made their blood boil with excitement and pride.

"Rise!"

Wu Ning smiled faintly, his voice, like a spring breeze, clearly entered everyone's ears.

Everyone immediately rose, the fervent admiration in their eyes not only did not diminish but became even more intense.

"Dao Child's voice is so pleasant!"

"Dao Child's talent is unprecedented, possessing such terrifying strength at a young age, truly the number one Prodigy in the Myriad Realms. To think he is also so approachable, truly rare!"

"With Dao Child's strength and talent, he will definitely claim the top spot on the Jueshi Ranking! Our Wu Clan is about to produce a supreme Prodigy! Haha..."

Everyone discussed in low voices, their expressions excited.

In front of them, Wu Ning followed Wu Tian Ce and others into the main hall.

At this time, all who could enter the main hall were clan members in the Quasi Immortal Emperor Realm, totaling over sixty people!

Additionally, Wu Ning learned from Wu Tian Ce that some other Quasi Immortal Emperor Realm clan members were fighting in various places on the All Heavens Battlefield and were not currently in Taichu Ancient City.

After everyone was seated, Wu Tian Ce's expression suddenly turned somewhat heavy, saying:

"Dao Child, today's events will likely not end peacefully."

"The talent and strength you have displayed are simply too incredible, and will certainly provoke apprehension from many."

"As the saying goes, 'a tall tree catches the wind,' I estimate that many forces will likely move against you!"

Everyone else in the hall nodded, their expressions becoming solemn.

They had spent a long time on the All Heavens Battlefield and clearly understood how deep the waters were here.

The Wu Clan was merely one of the super forces in the Taichu Ancient Realm, but when placed within the entire Myriad Realms, there were many forces equivalent to the Wu Clan.

And there were even some supreme forces that were older and more powerful than the Wu Clan!

Such as the Original Demon Clan and the Heavenly Void Divine Kingdom, and so on.

Devil Feathers, who appeared earlier, merely came from a royal branch of the Original Demon Clan, yet he dared to come to the Taichu Ancient Realm to show off his power.

Those truly from supreme forces were all arrogant, practically looking down on everyone, and what they enjoyed most was suppressing the Prodigies and Prodigies of other forces!

Or taking pleasure in subduing the Prodigies of other forces.

This time, Wu Ning displayed astonishing strength, and with someone fanning the flames in the Virtual God Realm, it was bound to attract the covetous gaze of many.

"Those who spread Dao Child's information in the Virtual God Realm are simply despicable!"

A middle-aged Quasi Immortal Emperor said with hatred.

"Indeed! I think it must be the people from the Primordial Immortal Kingdom, otherwise the news wouldn't have spread so quickly; only they have the means!"

"Damn it! Those bastards are simply inhumane!"

Anger flared in everyone's eyes; if not for those schemers behind the scenes, the Dao Child would not be in such a perilous situation now.

Wu Tian Ce raised a hand to quiet them, and everyone immediately fell silent.

Then, he turned to Wu Ning and asked, "Dao Child, we must guard against this. I have already notified the clan members outside to return as soon as possible. It's best if you don't go out during this time; let's observe the situation first."

It wasn't that he was being overly cautious; it was simply that there were too many forces with grievances against the Wu Clan.

Furthermore, Wu Ning's matter could very likely become a catalyst, leading other forces to unite and target the Wu Clan members.

Wu Ning nodded slightly, "Uncle, you can arrange this matter as you see fit. I probably won't be going out during this period."

He didn't want to cause trouble for other clan members because of himself.

If anyone dared to cause trouble while he stayed in Taichu Ancient City, he would handle it himself.

He understood the Wu Clan's foundation better than Wu Tian Ce and the others. Even if it was slightly inferior to supreme forces like the Heavenly Void Divine Kingdom, it certainly wouldn't be too far off.

Otherwise, the three thousand great dao willow trees in the Enlightenment Forest would simply not be defensible!

To others, the Wu Clan members might seem arrogant and reckless in their actions, but what they didn't know was that, compared to the Wu Clan's true strength, their so-called arrogance and dominance were nothing at all.

With the Wu Clan backing him and the System as his trump card, he had no reverence for those supreme forces.

The previous encounter was just a warning; if anyone else dared to cause trouble, he would simply kill them all.

Hearing Wu Ning's words, Wu Tian Ce felt a slight relief in his heart.

He couldn't help but think even more highly of him.

His talent was unparalleled, possessing the strength to instantly kill a Quasi Immortal Emperor at such a young age, yet he could still be so approachable, without any trace of arrogance—truly rare!

Just this Heart-Nature alone made countless Prodigies fall far behind.
