Chapter 227 Challenging Yan Chu's Weakness
The members of the Ice Demon Sect stared blankly as Poison Venerable Rong An kowtowed in submission; the field was so silent that not a single sound could be heard.
Gulp!
Only after a long while did the sound of someone swallowing saliva ring out.
Heavenly Human!
The methods Yan Chu just used were undoubtedly those of a Celestial Being Expert!
To forcibly tear the Primordial Spirit of a Supreme Grandmaster out of their Niwan Palace—only a Heavenly Human could achieve such unpredictable, god-like techniques.
Moreover, it was likely only a Heavenly Human who had opened their Spiritual Divine Treasury and utilized the power of the Primordial Spirit to its absolute limit could do so.
The Ice Demon Sect Elder who had just rashly claimed Yan Chu wouldn't leave alive now didn't dare to speak. He looked pleadingly at Sect Master Wang, hoping he would step forward to say something.
Sect Master Wang had already quietly crushed a jade talisman. With a dry throat, he addressed Yan Chu:
"Great Hero Yan, what exactly are your instructions for my Ice Demon Sect?"
"As long as you name it, we are willing to do everything to satisfy you!"
"To be honest, my Ice Demon Sect possesses many female Elders of superior beauty. They have admired you for a long time and have been looking forward to your arrival at the Ice Demon Sect, hoping to express their feelings to you."
"Elder Guo, Elder Tang, wouldn't you say so?"
The Ice Demon Sect's Third Elder, Guo Suxi, and Eighth Elder, Tang Peiyun, were stunned. They turned to look at the Sect Master, only to meet his stern gaze.
Guo Suxi shuddered and hurriedly stammered:
"Ah... the Sect Master is right. We two have long been conquered by Great Hero Yan's elegance. We have been enamored with you for a long time and have yearned for this."
"As long as Great Hero Yan is willing to spare the Ice Demon Sect, I am willing to welcome you to my bed and have a heart-to-heart talk with you!"
Guo Suxi and Tang Peiyun were both Supreme Grandmaster experts.
The two women wore white palace dresses, standing out significantly among the crowd of the Evil Path.
They had been rare beauties in their youth. Combined with the Cultivation Technique of the Ice Demon Sect, they possessed a cold aura that kept people at a distance, giving them a unique feminine charm.
Although they were not young, the Ice Demon Sect's Cultivation Technique included methods to maintain one's looks. At a hundred years old, they looked like beautiful women in their thirties or forties, showing no signs of aging.
This was why Sect Master Wang had signaled them with his eyes immediately.
As long as they could stall Yan Chu for a while until the Holy Maiden arrived, their safety would be guaranteed.
Besides, didn't the Jianghu rumors say that Yan Chu liked this type?
No one had heard of him liking sixteen-year-old girls.
Beyond the two Elders, his Ice Demon Sect had countless other beauties.
It would be enough to make a lecher like Yan Chu linger within the Ice Demon Sect and forget to return.
Who didn't know that among the Seven Sects of the Demonic Path, the Ice Demon Sect was the one with the most handsome men and beautiful women?
They even had one on the beauties ranking list.
This had a lot to do with the Cultivation Technique practiced by the Ice Demon Sect.
Guo Suxi's words were extremely bold and explicit. Even as members of the Demonic Path, saying such things in public was a great blow to their reputation.
They weren't members of the Hehuan Sect, after all!
Thus, upon hearing Guo Suxi's words, the Eighth Elder Tang Peiyun's stunningly beautiful face couldn't help but flush crimson. She lowered her head, not daring to look up.
Guo Suxi hurriedly nudged her, signaling her through a Divine Sense transmission to also take a stand.
The primary goal now was to survive at Yan Chu's hands. Why couldn't this woman see the situation clearly?
Was reputation more important than life?
Anyway, they were all people of the Demonic Path; they didn't have much of a reputation to speak of in the first place.
Besides, although Yan Chu was ruthless, he was powerful. To reach the Peak of the Jianghu and become a Heavenly Human at such a young age, and to be so handsome as well...
When one thought about it, even if Yan Chu took advantage of her, she wouldn't be the one losing out.
If word got out in the future that she, Guo Suxi, was the woman of a Celestial Being Expert, who would dare look down on her? Who would dare bully her?
Hearing Guo Suxi's transmission, Tang Peiyun's snow-white face struggled for a moment before she whispered:
"I hope Great Hero Yan will show me some pity..."
Her voice was like the buzz of a mosquito, full of bashfulness and timidity.
It caused a spark of heat to rise in the hearts of some members of the Evil Path.
Being half-hidden and half-revealed was sometimes more seductive than throwing oneself into someone's arms.
From the looks of it, Elder Tang might not be unwilling; she was likely playing hard to get...
After those words were spoken, Sect Master Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and the members of the Ice Demon Sect did the same.
Based on what they knew of Yan Chu's deeds, they were certain that women were Yan Chu's weakness.
If two weaknesses weren't enough, the Ice Demon Sect had one after another...
Today, the Ice Demon Sect was going to challenge Yan Chu's weakness!
Yan Chu listened quietly until they finished, and the killing intent in his heart dissipated slightly.
The Ice Demon Sect's Cultivation Technique indeed had its unique points. Even a Celestial Being Expert like him, who had already opened a Divine Treasury, could have his killing intent silently neutralized by them...
However...
Yan Chu glanced at Zhu Qingluan beside him. He had come today for her; everything else had to take a backseat for now.
Yan Chu looked at Sect Master Wang with a half-smile. The latter's back stiffened, and he forced out a smile.
"Sect Master Wang, you're being a bit dishonest!"
Sect Master Wang's heart pounded wildly. He silently circulated the Ice Demon Great Art to suppress his heartbeat and said with a forced smile:
"What do you mean, Great Hero Yan? Could it be that you are not satisfied with my sect's Elders?"
"It doesn't matter, there are many more female Elders in my Ice Demon Sect..."
Before he could finish, Yan Chu cut him off with a wave of his hand and reached out toward Sect Master Wang.
Sect Master Wang's expression changed drastically. Cold light erupted from his body as he guarded himself fully.
But in the next instant, he felt the world spin and couldn't help but let out a blood-curdling scream.
"Aaaaaah!!!"
The piercing scream chilled the hearts of everyone present.
Just like before, his Primordial Spirit was torn out by Yan Chu, his defenses as useless as nothing.
In everyone's eyes, Yan Chu grabbed Sect Master Wang's Primordial Spirit, forcibly placed a brand upon it as well, and then released it back.
The moment the Primordial Spirit returned to the Niwan Palace, before Sect Master Wang could even adjust, he clutched his head and collapsed to the ground, beginning to wail piteously.
"Aaaaaah!!!"
"Great Hero Yan, spare me!!"
"Great Hero Yan, spare my life!!!!"
His Primordial Spirit was on the verge of collapsing. The Divine Sense brand Yan Chu had planted emitted a faint light, causing him immense agony. Afterimages appeared before his eyes as he rolled on the ground, howling incessantly.
This scene made the others feel apprehensive again, and they dared not move a muscle.
Sect Master Wang was a Ninth Realm Peak expert, with strength no less than that of the Earth Ranking masters, yet he had no power to resist before Yan Chu.
The gap in cultivation was simply too large!
Even if all of them attacked together, it would only result in death!
And this Yan Chu was indeed as the rumors said: a mass murderer, ruthless, and mercurial. Who would be the next to be killed?
Sect Master Wang wailed on the ground for a full fifteen minutes before Yan Chu finally stopped his technique. His clothes were soaked with cold sweat, his face was as pale as paper, and his aura was like a candle flickering in the wind.
Yan Chu's emotionless voice rang out calmly,
"This time was a small punishment for you!"
"In the future, don't try any little tricks in front of a Divine Treasury Realm expert, or you will die a miserable death!"
"Yes! Yes!"
Despite the fear in his heart, Sect Master Wang did not dare to show even a hint of it.
Then, he heard Yan Chu say indifferently:
"Did you think that by sending a message to the Heavenly Human behind you, she could save you?"
"Today, I will wait right here to see what happens when she arrives."
"I have just opened my Divine Treasury, and this is the perfect chance to test my strength!"
