523: Chapter 523 Shen Biyun's Threat: Do you think you're better than Tian Jianzi?

Xu Ruyu looked back at the angry Shen Biyun, laughed out of anger at her death-seeking behavior.

I damn well wasn't looking for trouble with you, yet you're the one shouting first? I was just looking for a chance to vent, and your clamoring is quite timely.

"You're doing this for Xiao Nianyin's sake?"

Thinking this, Xu Ruyu slowly said: "How did you even convince yourself to believe those words?

Clearly, you used taking in the people of my Hehuan Sect as a threat to force Leng Ningshuang to marry your son. Now you want to wash your despicable behavior clean with just a few words.

What, do you think our Hehuan Sect has fallen, so you can ignore old ties and even kick us while we're down?"

Shen Biyun's expression changed slightly.

She hadn't expected Xu Ruyu to be so direct in bringing the matter to light.

She had originally thought Xu Ruyu would consider the friendship between her and Xiao Nianyin and wouldn't push things too far.

But she was wrong; this young man didn't play by the rules at all.

Shen Biyun said coldly: "So what if I'm kicking you while you're down?"

"Xu Ruyu, you should know that right now, your Hehuan Sect is like a rat crossing the street.

Not only have you become a key target for the Righteous Path Schools, but you've also formed a blood feud with the Tianshu Sword Sect.

Tell me, if your whereabouts were to spread, what do you think would await your Hehuan Sect?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Faces of everyone in the Hehuan Sect changed.

They all knew that what Shen Biyun said was the truth.

Once the Hehuan Sect's location was leaked, those Righteous Path Sects would pounce like hungry wolves.

The Tianshu Sword Sect wouldn't let them go, the North Pole Ice Soul Palace wouldn't let them go, nor would the Tianxuan Sect, Tianji Sect, Tianquan Sect..."

These so-called famous and righteous Sects—not a single one would likely let them off.

If they were truly targeted by these Sects, then their Hehuan Sect would really have nowhere to go and no way to escape.

Xu Ruyu just looked at Shen Biyun indifferently, his gaze calm as water.

"And? Is Sect Leader Shen deciding to betray a friend for glory? Or do you think your Tianyan Sect can take us down and then go to the Tianshu Sword Sect to claim credit?"

Since Xu Ruyu had put it that way, Shen Biyun sneered and simply stopped hiding it.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes, and her voice was full of threat: "So what if I betray a friend for glory? Since you, Xu Ruyu, have spoken so openly, I'll be blunt with you too.

Today, you injured my son. This matter cannot simply be brushed aside."

Xu Ruyu looked at her and said indifferently: "So, what does Sect Leader Shen want?"

Shen Biyun's Face turned completely cold as she said word by word: "Leave Leng Ningshuang here to continue the marriage with my son.

I can choose not to pursue today's matter.

As for your Hehuan Sect, I, Shen Biyun, will act as if I've never seen you.

Otherwise—"

She paused, her voice becoming even colder: "My Tianyan Sect will do everything in its power to keep you all here before the other famous and righteous Sects arrive, vowing to the death!"

Once these words came out, the anger of the Hehuan Sect's members was completely ignited.

Zhao Yan, who had the most explosive temper, was the first who couldn't hold back.

He took a step forward, his fist the size of a sandbag cracking as he clenched it, his eyes bloodshot as he roared: "Damn you, I knew your Tianyan Sect wasn't up to any good!

First you threatened Senior Sister Leng, and now you're threatening our Sect Master?

Shen Biyun, do you really think our Hehuan Sect is that easy to bully?"

The quiet Ning Caihe didn't speak, but the sword in his hand was already unsheathed, its blade flowing with cold killing intent.

The usually timid Qingyan walked out from the crowd and stood behind Xu Ruyu.

She held a pair of Butterfly Short Blades in her hands, her small Face flushed red as she stared angrily at the opponent.

At this moment, seeing the other party about to drop all pretenses, the Grand Elder couldn't help but step forward and say in a heavy voice: "Sect Leader Shen, our two Sects originally had no grievances. Why push things to the extreme?

Leng Ningshuang is unwilling to marry, and we no longer beg your noble Sect to take us in. Isn't it better to just let this matter end here?

Besides, a forced melon is not sweet.

Why drag the entire Tianyan Sect down for your son's selfishness?"

Hua Xunhuan also stood out and sneered: "Shen Biyun, you are at least the leader of a Sect. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the world for doing such a thing?"

Granny Liu leaned on her cane and spoke slowly: "I have lived for so many years and seen shameless people, but never one as shameless as you."

Shen Biyun's Face turned pale and then flushed with anger.

Fire almost spat from her eyes, but she didn't lash out.

She just looked at Xu Ruyu, waiting for his answer.

Xu Ruyu raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

Although the Hehuan Sect members were angry, they still shut their mouths.

They looked at Xu Ruyu, waiting for him to speak.

Xu Ruyu looked at Shen Biyun and remained silent for a moment.

Then, he spoke.

"So you're planning to drop all pretenses with us?" His voice was very soft, but every word was like a wind blowing from an ice cellar. "However, have you forgotten how Tian Jianzi of the Tianshu Sword Sect died not long ago?"

Shen Biyun's Face changed slightly.

She naturally knew what Xu Ruyu meant by those words.

Tian Jianzi was the Grand Elder of the Tianshu Sword Sect, a top-tier powerhouse at the Half-step True Immortal level.

He had chased Xu Ruyu for twenty-eight days, only to be exhausted to death by Xu Ruyu and burned to ashes.

The entire Cultivation World knows about this matter.

She looked at Xu Ruyu, at his young Face, and at his gaze as calm as water, and a chill welled up in her heart.

This young man was not simple.
