206: I do

The newcomer was none other than the Hall Revered Master of Hu Yan Hall, Li Zhen!

As a top expert of the Yan Domain, his ability to become the Hall Revered Master in the highly competitive Hu Yan Hall meant that his strength and the forces behind him could not be underestimated.

Thus, after Li Zhen appeared, many people cast looks of pity toward Chen Qingxuan.

"This fellow has impressive strength; he must be a Prodigy."

"To humiliate an Elder like this in Hu Yan Hall and even alert the Hall Revered Master... no matter how high his talent is, it's useless."

"Forget about signing up for the Hundred States Tournament; if he doesn't have a sufficient background, he might not even survive today. Hu Yan Hall will not tolerate such disrespect from an outsider."

The crowd discussed fervently.

Lin Xia frowned slightly. After glancing at Chen Qingxuan, she flew straight toward Li Zhen. "Hall Master Li, I am from the Uncrowned Immortal Temple. My Revered Master is Qiu Wenxian."

Hearing this, Li Zhen looked at Lin Xia, his voice unable to hide his anger. "Is this person from your Uncrowned Immortal Temple? Don't think that just because your Revered Master became..."

"No!" Lin Xia shook her head and interrupted, using a secret transmission that only the two of them could hear. "He is not from the Uncrowned Immortal Temple... in name, he is my younger brother..."

Li Zhen immediately sneered and interrupted, "Your brother certainly has quite the presence!"

"..." Lin Xia continued, "It's only in name... If he wanted you to be his younger brother today... you would have no choice but to be one... Hall Master Li should understand what I mean, right?"

"What?"

Li Zhen's expression shifted instantly.

Staring at Lin Xia's expression, which didn't look like a joke at all, he then looked at the arrogant Chen Qingxuan and realized in an instant that the two had no real relationship;

they were merely acting as siblings on the surface.

Now that Chen Qingxuan had shown the strength to suppress Liu Ye, thinking of it this way... he would be a top-tier Prodigy not just in the Yan Domain, but even in higher planes.

Moreover, Chen Qingxuan was wearing a mask. No matter how one looked at it... one could guess he had an extraordinary background but didn't want to be too high-profile while participating in the Hundred States Tournament.

In an instant, Li Zhen filtered through the possible Prodigies in his mind, but they had all already finished registering. He truly couldn't figure out Chen Qingxuan's identity.

Thinking of this, Li Zhen looked at Lin Xia and said in a deep voice, "Have him let go of Elder Liu first..."

Boom—

Just then, the sound of an explosion suddenly erupted.

A wave of shocked outcries rose from the surroundings.

"Holy crap... he killed an Elder of Hu Yan Hall."

"How is this possible? That was an Elder of Hu Yan Hall... and he was actually crushed barehanded?"

"What on earth is this guy's background... to have such strength at such a young age?"

Everyone was dumbstruck.

"Presumptuous!"

Li Zhen was furious.

Although he had already guessed that Chen Qingxuan had an extraordinary background, the Yan Domain was, after all, different from a low-level plane like the Star River Ruins. As a Hall Revered Master in charge of the law in an Upper Domain;

how could he tolerate someone running wild on his own turf?

Even if the other party had immense capabilities, the rules could not be broken... besides, it wasn't as if he had no one backing him.

Whoosh—

Consequently, without any hesitation, Li Zhen moved straight to capture Chen Qingxuan first.

His speed was so great that Lin Xia had no chance to intervene.

In the sky, a figure darted out like a fleeting bolt of lightning toward Chen Qingxuan, bringing with it a deafening whistle of wind.

But just as Li Zhen was certain of his success, as soon as he got within three zhang of Chen Qingxuan, an invisible spatial shield suddenly blocked his path.

Boom—

His Physical Body collided with the air, producing a shocking boom.

In an instant, Li Zhen's old face became distorted. Before he could even figure out the situation, the surrounding air strangely began to crush down on him.

It left him no escape route whatsoever.

Boom—

Chen Qingxuan slightly clenched his hand.

Instantly, the Spatial Cage closing in from all directions tightened its net. The ruthless Spatial power ignored Li Zhen's Physical Body strength and directly squeezed him into a square box.

*Gasp*—

Seeing this, the crowd felt as if they had been struck by a bolt from the blue.

They all looked as if they had seen a ghost.

After all, Li Zhen was the Hall Revered Master of Hu Yan Hall, a renowned expert throughout the Yan Domain.

Although he couldn't compare to those who had become High Immortals, in terms of strength and status, he was a genuine superior person.

But now, he had actually been killed?

And it was an instant kill?

Anyone seeing this would likely find it hard to believe.

"What's all this chirping about?"

On the other hand, Chen Qingxuan remained calm and composed as he looked toward the stunned Lin Xia. "The people of Hu Yan Hall are too undisciplined. Tell the person in charge to come out."

"Eh?"

Lin Xia swallowed hard.

The next moment, her heart pounding, she stepped forward. "Young Master Chen... the person in charge was just killed by you."

"Oh?"

Chen Qingxuan seemed to just realize it.

He raised his eyes and scanned the surrounding faces, only then realizing that Li Zhen was the Hall Revered Master of Hu Yan Hall.

So his strength... had already reached this level?

Since arriving in the Three Thousand Divine Provinces, he had rarely fought others. Chen Qingxuan didn't know exactly how strong he was currently; he just felt it was enough.

Moreover, with Purple Kite backing him, he hadn't made a conscious effort to find out.

However, from what just happened, it seemed his strength... was indeed more than enough to participate in the Hundred States Tournament.

Or rather, it was mainly because the Space Origin was too Heaven-Defying. Setting aside the fact that Spatial power was essentially a dimensional strike against Profound Power, the main thing was that it could transform into various killing moves based on one's thoughts... only limited by your imagination.

"Heh~"

Thinking about how strong he had become, Chen Qingxuan couldn't help but smile.

"..."

Seeing this, the crowd looked at each other.

At this moment, whether it was the young talents who came to register or the terrified experts of the Yan Domain, the looks they cast at Chen Qingxuan were all filled with horror.

"How about this!"

Chen Qingxuan thought of something and said to Lin Xia, "Go back to the Uncrowned Immortal Temple and have your Revered Master come and send people to take over Hu Yan Hall."

"Ah?"

Lin Xia thought she had misheard.

Facing Chen Qingxuan's erratic train of thought, she was somewhat caught between laughter and tears. "Thank you for the kind offer, Young Master Chen, but I'm afraid my Revered Master won't be very willing. After all, he is quite wary of you..."

"I am willing!"

Just then, an aged voice drifted over. It was none other than Qiu Wenxian, who had appeared out of nowhere.

"Revered Master?"

Lin Xia was completely dumbfounded.

Wait... when did he get here?

Or had he been hiding in the shadows watching the whole time?

Qiu Wenxian flew forward and said to Chen Qingxuan with a serious expression, "Although this old man has no desire to manage worldly affairs anymore... since it is a request from Young Master Chen... I will resolutely implement and carry out Young Master Chen's task."
