164: Chapter 164 Li Tianxiong: Junior, I'll spare you this time.

Chapter 164: Li Tianxiong: Junior, I Shall Spare You Today Shen Qingyuan stood with his hands tucked into his sleeves, watching him lazily, a slight curve tugging at the corner of his mouth.

"Confess my crimes?"

He gave a light chuckle, his tone nonchalant.

"Your Tiangang Sect people have troubled my Shen Family time and time again. I haven't gone to settle the score with you yet, and yet you've come knocking on my door first?"

Supreme Elder Li Tianxiong's face darkened.

He naturally knew about Senior Brother Sun Zhengyang's situation in Guangnan City, and he also knew why Zhou Yanchang had come this time.

But he didn't care.

What he cared about was the prestige of the Tiangang Sect!

The Tiangang Sect was one of the Seven Great Sects of the Southern Region, with a ten-thousand-year Legacy and immense power.

Now, an Elder had been crushed to death in public, with not even his bones remaining.

If word of this got out, where would the Tiangang Sect put its face?

"Junior, how insolent!" Supreme Elder Li Tianxiong spoke coldly, the pressure of a seventh-level Asking Dao Realm expert erupting as it ground toward Shen Qingyuan. "Don't think that just because you have some strength, you can act willfully. This Southern Region is not a place where you can be so arrogant!"

Before his voice had even faded, that pressure descended like the sky collapsing and the earth caving in, enveloping Shen Qingyuan!

Everywhere it passed, the formation patterns on the stone platform flickered frantically, letting out groans as if they were overburdened; the ground cracked, and debris flew everywhere!

Shen Yuanshan's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously took half a step back.

Although he had already achieved a Breakthrough to the Primal Chaos Realm, he was still like an ant before the pressure of a seventh-level Asking Dao Realm expert.

Shen Yuanhe was not doing any better; his face was deathly pale, the veins on his forehead bulged, and he struggled desperately to resist that pressure.

Elder Ancestor Shen Haocang put down his teacup, his brow furrowing as the Qi surged within him, preparing to intervene.

However—

Shen Qingyuan stood where he was, completely motionless.

The pressure, which was enough to crush a Primal Chaos Realm expert, was like a gentle breeze in front of him, failing to even lift a corner of his clothes.

Supreme Elder Li Tianxiong's pupils constricted slightly.

"You have some skill."

He snorted coldly, no longer testing the waters as he took a step forward!

His figure appeared before Shen Qingyuan like a phantom, and he struck out with a palm!

With this palm strike, he used his full strength.

The full-force strike of a seventh-level Asking Dao Realm expert caused the wind from his palm to howl. His Qi transformed into a pitch-black ribbon of energy, carrying world-destroying power as it headed straight for Shen Qingyuan's face!

Wherever the palm wind passed, the air was torn apart, producing sharp whistling sounds, and even space itself was slightly distorted!

Below the stone platform, all the Cultivators' expressions changed drastically as they retreated one after another, their eyes filled with horror.

The full-force strike of an Asking Dao Realm expert—the mere aftershocks were enough to grind them into powder!

"It's over! That Shen Family kid is dead for sure!"

"Seventh-level Asking Dao Realm! Who could possibly block that?"

"What a pity. To have such strength at such a young age, only to die at the hands of Supreme Elder Li Tianxiong..."

However—

Shen Qingyuan didn't even dodge.

He simply raised his hand and lightly flicked a slender finger in the Void Realm.

The movement was casual and nonchalant.

"Bang!"

A soft sound rang out.

Supreme Elder Li Tianxiong's world-destroying palm wind was shattered by Shen Qingyuan's casual flick, dissipating into a sky full of black light particles.

A storm of Qi swept in all directions, and the formation patterns on the surface of the stone platform flickered frantically at this moment, letting out groans of being overburdened.

The ground cracked, debris flew, and dust filled the air.

However—

Shen Qingyuan stood where he was, his green robes remaining perfectly still in the violent energy storm; not even a corner of his clothes was lifted.

Supreme Elder Li Tianxiong's pupils shrank abruptly.

He was a peerless expert at the seventh level of the Asking Dao Realm, a Peak existence in the entire Southern Region.

With this palm, he had used his full strength.

Never mind a youth who looked to be in his twenties; even a fellow seventh-level Asking Dao Realm expert would definitely not find it easy to take this palm strike head-on.

But this person before him...

With a casual strike.

He actually neutralized the attack?!

Supreme Elder Li Tianxiong stared fixedly at Shen Qingyuan, sending out his Divine Thought in an attempt to see through the youth's origins.

However, as soon as his Divine Thought touched Shen Qingyuan's body, it was like a clay ox entering the sea; he could detect nothing at all.

That feeling was like looking up at an endless abyss—unable to see the bottom, and unable to see the edge.

Supreme Elder Li Tianxiong couldn't help but feel a surge of panic in his heart.

This young man was too strange!

Just then—

Shen Qingyuan raised his eyes and glanced at him.

It was just a single glance.

That gaze was flat, lazy, and devoid of any killing intent.

But with just this one glance, Supreme Elder Li Tianxiong felt as if he had been targeted by an ancient Vicious Beast. The hair all over his body stood on end, and a chill rushed from his spine straight to his brain!

"Not good!"

Warning signs blared in Supreme Elder Li Tianxiong's heart. Without any hesitation, his figure retreated violently!

At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind—

Escape!

Escape as far as possible!

That youth was simply not an existence he could afford to provoke!

With just a glance, he had been dazed and had seen the great terror between life and death. This strength was definitely not that of an ordinary Asking Dao Realm expert.

A Saint!

This is a Saint!

The word "Saint" exploded in Supreme Elder Li Tianxiong's mind, making his entire body tremble.

Although the Tiangang Sect had a Peak Asking Dao Realm Old Ancestor overseeing it, before a Saint, it was still not enough!

He pushed the Qi within his body to the limit, his figure flickering through the Void Realm at an incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, he had already fled several miles away.

Below the stone platform, everyone watched that increasingly distant figure, the expressions on their faces incredibly vivid.

"The Tiangang Sect's Grand Elder... why did he leave?!"

"Didn't he come to avenge the sect's Elder? Why did he run away before even fighting?"

"Seventh-level Asking Dao Realm! That's the seventh level of the Asking Dao Realm! A Peak existence in the entire Southern Region! He was actually scared away by the Shen Family?!"

"Impossible, what are you talking about? That's a seventh-level Asking Dao expert! A top existence in the Southern Region. If a Saint doesn't appear, who could scare away a seventh-level Asking Dao Realm expert?"

"Right, right! I think something must have happened in the Tiangang Sect, which is why he left in such a hurry. The Shen Family really has good luck."

Whispers rose one after another as everyone discussed the matter.

But not a single person attributed the reason for Supreme Elder Li Tianxiong's flight to Shen Qingyuan.

After all—

Supreme Elder Li Tianxiong was a peerless expert at the seventh level of the Asking Dao Realm!

If a Saint did not appear, who could compete with him?

Although Shen Qingyuan had taken one of Supreme Elder Li Tianxiong's moves and his strength was indeed decent, he shouldn't have been enough to scare Supreme Elder Li Tianxiong away.

Over on the Shi Family's side, Shi Pojun slumped in his chair, his face as pale as paper and his entire body trembling.

He gazed in the direction Supreme Elder Li Tianxiong had fled, his eyes filled with despair.

"Elder Li... ran away?"

His voice was shaking, and his lips quivered so much he couldn't even finish a sentence.

He had thought that once Supreme Elder Li Tianxiong intervened, the Shen Family would surely be destroyed.

He had thought that a Grand Elder of the Tiangang Sect, a peerless seventh-level Asking Dao Realm expert, would be enough to crush everything.

He had thought the Shi Family could use the Tiangang Sect's influence to vent their grievances.

But now—

Supreme Elder Li Tianxiong had run away!

He ran away without even a fight!

"It's over... it's all over..."

Shi Pojun murmured to himself, his entire being seemingly drained of all strength as he slumped in his chair, his eyes hollow.

The other Elders of the Shi Family were not doing any better; their faces were deathly pale, and they were trembling all over. Some were so scared they slumped directly onto the ground, while others hid behind their chairs, not even daring to show their heads.

Shi Tianxiong simply fainted outright.

Over at Qingmu City's side, Mu Cangshan stood on the high platform with his hands behind his back, gazing in the direction Supreme Elder Li Tianxiong had fled, remaining silent for a long time.

Beside him, the youth in green couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Family Head, Senior Li... why did he leave?"

Mu Cangshan did not answer; he just stared blankly in the direction of the Shen Family.

His gaze fell upon Shen Qingyuan, and he remained speechless for a long time.
