584: Master, are you going to kill him?

Li Bi stood up, his terrifying pressure directly enveloping Su Chen. The entire main hall trembled, and everyone within the Haoran Sect sensed this aura.

Unease was written on everyone's faces.

No matter how one looked at it, today's events didn't seem like they would end easily; a great catastrophe might be imminent.

The Imperial Family!

They were the Dominators of the Nine Star Empire; in this place, the Imperial Family was the heavens.

"Kid, you're the one who killed Li Liang, aren't you?"

Facing this terrifying pressure, Su Chen was completely unaffected. He responded calmly, "Yes."

"What audacity!"

Li Bi roared, unable to suppress the monstrous rage in his heart any longer.

What kind of attitude and tone was this?

He no longer bothered to waste time and charged directly at Su Chen to kill him. Yun Mo had been respectful to him, yet Su Chen didn't care at all. This contemptuous behavior made him fly into a rage.

"Su Chen!"

Yun Mo's expression turned anxious, and he wanted to step in front of Su Chen to block the attack, but he was pulled back by the Grand Elder. With his strength, if he tried to intervene, he would likely be reduced to nothing.

The gap between an Immortal King and a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal was truly immense.

The Grand Elder's eyes were calm. He didn't believe Su Chen would die so easily. For someone he couldn't even see through, there were bound to be many secrets.

Su Chen glanced at Li Bi nonchalantly, his eyes filled with mockery. He didn't move at all, yet Xiao Tian's figure blocked the way forward.

"Master, should I kill him?"

Xiao Tian asked with some curiosity.

"Kill him!"

Su Chen responded indifferently.

In the next moment, a heart-palpitating fluctuation erupted from Xiao Tian. He reached out his hand, and with the power of Yin and Yang flowing, Li Bi was instantly restrained like a little chick.

That Yin and Yang power possessed the ability to erode. Li Bi's Physical Body and Divine Soul immediately began to dissolve, and screams of agony rang out.

"You are an Immortal Lord expert!"

Li Bi looked at Xiao Tian with eyes full of terror. He hadn't expected such an expert to be hidden within this small Haoran Sect.

If he had known earlier that the Haoran Sect had an Immortal Lord expert, he would never have acted so aggressively. One must know that an Immortal Lord was a top-tier expert even within the Nine Star Empire.

Even if one couldn't be friends with such a person, they absolutely could not be enemies.

It was completely unnecessary to oppose such a figure for the sake of someone like Li Liang.

Restrained and unable to move, Li Bi's eyes were filled with fear. He looked at Su Chen and begged for mercy, "Sir, please forgive me! This lowly one failed to recognize your greatness. Please let me go."

"If I die, the Nine Star Empire will definitely not let the Haoran Sect off... As long as you are willing to spare me, I will agree to any condition."

Now, the situation between Yun Mo and Li Bi seemed to have reversed.

Su Chen's brow furrowed slightly upon hearing this. After thinking for a moment, he waved his hand. Li Bi was sent flying backward, his chest caved in, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His already severe injuries became even worse.

However, Li Bi's face was full of joy.

"Thank you, Sir, for sparing my life."

With that, he fled without looking back.

Xiao Tian looked at Su Chen with confusion. Although he hadn't known Su Chen for very long, he knew his master was definitely not a soft-hearted person.

But why spare him?

Su Chen didn't explain much. He was currently an Elder of the Haoran Sect. If he really killed Li Bi, it would certainly lead to a feud with the Nine Star Empire's Imperial Family, which would be very detrimental to the Haoran Sect's development.

After all, he didn't know when he would leave, and it was certainly not good to rashly create a powerful enemy for the Haoran Sect.

If an Immortal King of the Imperial Family were killed, they would surely cause trouble for the Haoran Sect, if only for the sake of their reputation.

Su Chen cupped his hands toward the Grand Elder and Yun Mo, then turned and left. The two watched Su Chen's back in silence.

"Just what is this kid's background?"

Yun Mo couldn't help but swallow, his heart filled with shock.

With an Immortal Lord as a Dao Protector, it seemed like only an Immortal Venerable could be behind such a role.

Does that mean there is an Immortal Venerable expert behind Su Chen?

Not just Yun Mo, the Grand Elder's heart was also filled with shock. No wonder he couldn't see through him. If an Immortal Venerable was obscuring Su Chen's heavenly secrets, he truly had no way to see through him.

But if he had an Immortal Venerable expert backing him, why would he come to their Haoran Sect to Cultivate?

How strange.

However, they both breathed a sigh of relief. At least this hurdle was over. With Su Chen in their Haoran Sect, the Nine Star Empire wouldn't go so far as to destroy them.

The gap between an Immortal Lord and an Immortal King was still very large; the difficulty of killing an Immortal Lord was extremely high.

Mainly because, of the Immortal Lords who have lived until now, who doesn't have some trump cards and methods?

If you killed them, it would be fine, but if you didn't, it would only bring endless disaster to the Nine Star Empire. You would need to be on guard against an Immortal Lord's sneak attacks at all times.

It might be fine for the Immortal Lords of the Nine Star Empire, but what about the Immortal Kings under their command? What about other, even weaker Cultivators?

An Immortal Lord has countless methods: Clones, Divine Soul power, and they can also refine high-powered Magical Artifacts.

It seems such an event occurred many years ago. At that time, there was a force called the Quanling Empire, which also had three or four Immortal Lords. In the end, they insisted on killing an Immortal Lord, but unfortunately, the opponent escaped while heavily injured.

In the years that followed, that Immortal Lord continuously condensed Talismans containing his full-strength strikes and used Clones to attack, killing all the Immortal King experts of the Quanling Empire. Countless subordinate forces were also killed indiscriminately.

Eventually, the Quanling Empire was attacked by its enemies because of this and was ultimately extinguished in the long river of history.

In the entire Cloud Firmament Realm, only an Immortal Venerable expert is certain of killing an Immortal Lord. However, the Nine Star Empire has no Immortal Venerable. Moreover, even a force with an Immortal Venerable wouldn't bother killing an Immortal Lord for the sake of someone like Li Liang.

Su Chen left the Haoran Sect and returned to Crescent Moon City, silently watching Chun Lan.

The only thing he cared about now was Chun Lan.

Su Chen wanted to know what secrets she held... Somewhere in Fengyang County.

Li Bi returned to his Immortal Cave and took two Medicinal Pills. Feeling the warm current in his belly, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He swallowed, his expression full of terror.

I almost died!

Li Bi never imagined that such an expert would be in the Haoran Sect. The key was that the Immortal Lord was merely Su Chen's servant, calling an Immortal Lord "Master."

Just what kind of terrifying existence must he be?

There seemed to be only two possibilities: either Su Chen himself was an Immortal Venerable expert who could subdue an Immortal Lord, or Su Chen had a heaven-defying power behind him.

But regardless of which one it was, it wasn't something he could afford to provoke.

Thinking back on it, Li Bi's heart was still trembling. He had been so close to death...
