537: Who told you to look at me?

Tongtian saw the potential for growth in Zhao Yuxian, but this old fellow's Luck was not very good; there would certainly be many twists and turns along his path of growth.

The moment Zhao Yuxian saw Tongtian, a look of wild joy immediately appeared on his face.

"My Lord!"

He had assumed that Tongtian wouldn't care about him at all, and had not expected that he would actually come to help.

Previously, Zhao Yuxian had thought that when Tongtian gave him the Jade Pendant, it was probably just a whim.

Upon hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the Shangyun Sect Elders shifted from confusion and fear to wild joy. This person actually knew their Old Ancestor?

Was he here to help the Shangyun Sect?

Su Chen said indifferently to Tianjun: "Let me see your strength."

Tianjun immediately revealed a ferocious smile. Being ridden by Su Chen all the way here had made him feel extremely stifled, and now he finally had the chance to vent the emotions in his heart.

He looked toward Li Lie, his eyes filled with killing intent:

"Kid, who gave you permission to look at me? Did I allow you to look? You're courting death!"

As he spoke, Yin and Yang Qi appeared in his eyes, and his figure instantly vanished from where he stood, shooting toward Li Lie like a cannonball.

Feeling the terrifying pressure emanating from Tianjun, Li Lie's face was filled with fear. The Physical Body of the Yao Race was inherently stronger than that of a Human Race Cultivator, let alone this Qiongqi Vicious Beast, who was even stronger than an average Yao Beast. With his Middle Stage Immortal Lord cultivation, his Physical Body was at least comparable to a Late Stage Immortal Lord.

How could he fight this?

Li Lie's expression was gloomy to the extreme. How did Zhao Yuxian get involved with such a powerful expert?

If he had known this earlier, he definitely wouldn't have set his sights on the Shangyun Sect.

Li Lie erupted with terrifying flames and charged at Tianjun, but facing these scorching fire waves, there was not a trace of fear in Tianjun's eyes; he charged directly into the sea of fire.

What!?

After entering the sea of fire, Tianjun was completely unaffected. The scorching flames seemed to cause him no harm whatsoever.

Li Lie was completely stunned!

How is this possible! It couldn't even inflict a single bit of damage.

"Bang!"

Tianjun's speed was incredibly fast, and Li Lie found it difficult to defend against. A fist that felt like a massive mountain smashed toward him. Li Lie felt as if his entire body was about to crack, and he was in immense pain. His Immortal Lord Origin was also teetering on the brink of collapse from this single blow.

This was merely a casual punch, yet it nearly took Li Lie's life.

The smile on Tianjun's face was extremely ferocious. He wasn't in a hurry to kill Li Lie; he just watched from afar as Li Lie shakily stood up, and once his injuries had recovered just a little bit, he rushed over and sent him flying with another punch.

The sight of this made the people of the Shangyun Sect tremble with fear.

They couldn't understand how such a formidable Qiongqi Vicious Beast could be so obedient to a member of the Human Race.

For Vicious Beasts of this caliber, devouring their master was standard behavior. The fact that the Qiongqi was so obedient indicated that the strength of this Human Race expert was absolutely terrifying.

Zhao Yuxian was incredibly moved. He knelt on one knee directly toward Tongtian: "Many thanks, My Lord, for extending a helping hand."

This debt of saving his life was as heavy as Mount Tai.

Tongtian waved his hand; he didn't like to talk nonsense, so he didn't say anything more.

On the other side, seeing that he had played enough, Tianjun smashed Li Lie's Origin to pieces with a single punch, then opened his mouth and inhaled, absorbing all of Li Lie's energy and leaving behind only a withered skeleton.

Tianjun was quite picky and particular. Whether devouring the Human Race or the Yao Race, he only absorbed the energy and did not consume the Physical Body—mainly because it tasted terrible.

When he used to stay in the Ten Thousand Yao Mountain, he saw many powerful Yao Beasts directly gnawing on other Yao Beasts to grow. This way of feeding made him extremely repulsed, and he even felt out of place among the Yao Beasts.

Of course, it was the other Yao Beasts who were out of place with him; Tianjun felt that the other Yao Beasts were extremely crude and vulgar.

For this reason, Tianjun had previously specifically captured two Human Race cooks and made them teach him how to cook food so that he could ensure the energy wouldn't be lost while also making it taste delicious.

Ever since he had been exposed to better food, the look in his eyes when he saw those Yao Beasts became even more disdainful.

Crude Yao Beasts!

With Li Lie taken care of, and no need for them to help the others, Su Chen left, sitting on the Qiongqi.

He didn't stop by Jueyang City on the way back. There wasn't much to see at the Su Family, and going back would just be exchanging pleasantries; it was better to be carefree. Besides, it wasn't as if he wouldn't return in the future.

Central State.

Relying on a rough direction, Su Chen had the Qiongqi speed toward there. He now really wanted to know who the person behind that aura was.

Bai Yulan had been quite reserved at the beginning, but Ye Lan kept chatting with her. Slowly, she discovered that Su Chen seemed to be easy to get along with, so her personality gradually livened up, and she was no longer as reserved as before.

Tongtian sat in the distance; he had actually always been very clear about his own position.

Servant!

In his eyes, Su Chen was his master.

Therefore, when out and about, to avoid any awkwardness, Tongtian always kept a distance from Su Chen. Distance makes the heart grow fonder.

Fortunately, Tianjun's body was large enough. When Tongtian sat on Tianjun's shoulder and looked at Su Chen above his head, he could almost not hear any sounds at all.

Sometimes, he couldn't even see the person.

Tianjun looked at Tongtian, who was sitting on his shoulder Cultivating with his eyes closed. After hesitating for a moment, he still asked: "My Lord, you are not from the Azure Heaven Realm, are you?"

Tongtian slowly opened his eyes and looked toward the Qiongqi. He didn't speak, but this attitude already let Tianjun guess many things.

As expected.

This person definitely had a massive background.

However, Tongtian's cold and indifferent demeanor made him seem somewhat unapproachable, so the Qiongqi dared not ask any more questions.

...

Not long after Su Chen and the others left.

Shangyun Sect.

After a brief moment of shock, Zhao Yuxian and the Sect Master and Elders all regained their senses.

The Shangyun Sect Master walked forward and said with an excited expression: "Old Ancestor, what was that just now?"

After returning to the Sect, the Old Ancestor had told him about the Shangyun Sect submitting to the Su Family, as well as everything regarding the Su Family.

Could it be that an expert from the Su Family had come to provide support?

He had never seen anyone from the Su Family, so he could only guess.

Zhao Yuxian's expression softened. Having experienced this life-and-death crisis, he had found the opportunity for a Breakthrough to Immortal Lord. Afterward, he only needed to go into seclusion to Cultivate, and he would certainly be able to reach the Immortal Lord Realm.

Zhao Yuxian turned his head and looked at the many Shangyun Sect Disciples who had already fled. Among them, many Elders, deacons, hall masters, and other management personnel had run away. Within the entire Sect, less than one-tenth of the original number remained.

His expression was somewhat gloomy. Many people he had been familiar with had acted so loyal in front of him, yet when the Sect truly encountered a crisis, these people had fled without the slightest hesitation.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Yuxian said in an icy tone:

"Pass on my order: hunt down all the Elders, stewards, law enforcers... who fled."

Naturally, it was impossible for him to let those people go. Having enjoyed the benefits brought by the Sect, only to flee when encountering a crisis—this was something that no one could tolerate.

Even though Zhao Yuxian knew that this was only human nature.
