208: You want to step on my face again?

Chen Qingxuan's sharp gaze swept across the dozens of figures surrounding them.

The dozens of figures around the courtyard stood frozen in place, at a loss and dumbfounded.

Even Lin Xia, who followed Chen Qingxuan and had witnessed his decisive killing, didn't expect him to strike directly this time without even letting the other party finish speaking.

Not to mention a group of young talents living in the Upper Domain who, besides cultivating, also had to learn the ways of the world.

They had never seen someone so arrogant!

Weren't they afraid of offending someone they shouldn't?

"Young Master Chen, please do not be angry. These are all contestants participating in the Hundred States Tournament."

At this moment, the experts of the Qing Prefecture finally regained their senses and hurriedly stepped forward to mediate the tense atmosphere.

In fact, before receiving Chen Qingxuan, they already knew what he had done in the Yan Domain and were certain he had a significant background but was unwilling to reveal his identity.

Now, seeing Chen Qingxuan's attitude toward the other contestants, they couldn't help but let their imaginations run wild... his background was likely even more terrifying than they had imagined.

He didn't care in the slightest about the forces behind the other contestants.

After all, among those who could participate in the Hundred States Tournament and act so high-profile, whose family didn't know an Immortal figure?

Either Chen Qingxuan had a background that looked down on everything, or he was a reckless hothead... but how could the latter have made it this far?

How could a reckless hothead have wiped out the Hall Revered Master of Hu Yan Hall?

"Kid, do you know who I am?"

At this time, the young man who was struck first scrambled up from the ground, staring at Chen Qingxuan with burning rage.

The youth's name was Li Yun, a prince of the Li Kingdom in He Province. He Province was a domain slightly higher than Qing Province, and as the largest Empire in He Province, the Li Kingdom's status was self-evident.

Besides his status, Li Yun himself was a Prodigy sought after by many; one could say he was the face of He Province for this Hundred States Tournament.

When had he ever suffered such humiliation?

Had his reason not told him he was no match for Chen Qingxuan, he would have already launched a counterattack.

But if he just let it go, where would his dignity be?

So in the next moment, Li Yun looked at the experts of the Qing Prefecture again. "And you? As the force managing this Hundred States Tournament, you watched this person sneak attack me and did nothing..."

"..."

The experts of the Qing Prefecture looked at each other, none of them speaking.

It wasn't that they were wary of Li Yun's status; there were plenty of contestants at the Hundred States Tournament with powerful backgrounds.

Moreover, their Qing Prefecture had no reason to be afraid. If they were hesitant because of a contestant's status, how could they host the Hundred States Tournament?

It was just that the sudden scene was truly unexpected, and they had no experience dealing with it.

But they weren't fools either; they could naturally see that Li Yun and his group had come with ill intent, likely having heard of Chen Qingxuan's actions in the Yan Domain and coming to test his background.

It was just that Chen Qingxuan gave them no face at all.

Therefore, the Qing Prefecture couldn't afford to offend either side and could only mediate between the two opposing parties.

"Young Master Chen, please move into your residence first. There is a Barrier for protection, and only you can enter or leave," an expert from the Qing Prefecture said with a smile to Chen Qingxuan.

He knew it would be troublesome to first persuade the enraged Li Yun to back down.

"Alright!"

Chen Qingxuan didn't refuse.

But before walking into the courtyard, he looked back at Li Yun and the others. "I just want to participate in the Hundred States Tournament quietly. I hope you all won't bother me. If anyone else wants to try my palm, I'll slap the men without hesitation, and as for the women, I'll strip them naked and fuck them—right in public!"

After saying that, Chen Qingxuan led Lin Xia and strode into the courtyard.

The corners of the Qing Prefecture experts' mouths twitched violently as they looked at their companions in disbelief.

And Li Yun and the other contestants were even more dumbfounded upon hearing this.

"Wait... did I hear that right?"

"Vulgar! This guy's words are way too damn vulgar!"

"What exactly is this kid's background? By the way, Li Yun, are you okay?"

"..."

Li Yun grit his teeth. At this point, he could only help up his Junior Sister, who had just stood up, and leave together.

Looking at his Junior Sister's beautiful face, now red and swollen, he felt both heartache and anger, yet he knew his strength was no match for Chen Qingxuan.

On the other hand, the woman ignored the pain on her face and said with lingering fear, "Senior Brother Li, he wouldn't really... in public... you have to protect me!"

"I know."

...Inside the room.

After a bit of busying about, Lin Xia looked at Chen Qingxuan and said, "Qingxuan, the room has been cleaned very well. I checked the Barrier outside; it activated once we entered. It seems to automatically recognize that only we can enter and leave."

"Alright, you should go rest as well!"

Chen Qingxuan waved his hand.

Lin Xia didn't leave but stepped forward and smiled. "Why didn't you listen to what they had to say just now? Wouldn't it be better not to strike directly?"

"There's no need to waste words with them," Chen Qingxuan said calmly. "A single punch can prevent a hundred more. This is an eternal truth, to keep people from jumping around in front of us again."

"Giggle~"

Lin Xia covered her mouth and chuckled.

In the next moment, a hint of pink appeared on her pretty face. "Um... what you said just now... it's not good for your image... you should say it less in the future!"

"What words?"

Chen Qingxuan looked up in surprise.

"Just..." Lin Xia's gaze flickered as she secretly swallowed. "Just the kind of thing you... also said to me before!"

"Which sentence are you talking about?"

"You forgot?"

Lin Xia widened her beautiful eyes in disbelief.

Seeing that Chen Qingxuan really didn't care, a trace of complexity flashed in her eyes. She didn't say anything more and tactfully went to the next room to rest.

Swish—

Shortly after Lin Xia left, a purple figure suddenly stepped out from space.

"Holy crap, Revered Master?"

Chen Qingxuan's body jolted.

Seeing it was Purple Kite, he couldn't help but look surprised and delighted.

Before he could finish, Purple Kite's mouth twitched. "Sometimes I really don't know if you're doing it on purpose or not."

"What 'on purpose or not'?" Chen Qingxuan stepped forward with a smile. "By the way, Revered Master, why did you show up now?"

"..."

Purple Kite's forehead was covered in black lines.

Meeting Chen Qingxuan's smiling gaze, she crossly crossed her arms over her nonexistent chest. "I told you to participate in the Hundred States Tournament quietly so you could attract Immortal groups to extend an olive branch to you. What are you doing?"

"Haven't I already come to participate?"

Chen Qingxuan spread his hands.

"You call this low-profile?" Purple Kite puffed out her cheeks. "Now everyone thinks you have some powerful background. At this rate... which Immortal group would dare to recruit you?"

"Well... I can't help it. My Revered Master really is a God King."

"You... better not mention that, lest someone hears."

"Heh~"

Looking at the petite and cute appearance of his loli Revered Master, the corner of Chen Qingxuan's mouth curled up.

"Revered Master, you wouldn't want your identity as a God King to be known by outsiders, would you?"

"..."

Purple Kite was speechless.

Seeing Chen Qingxuan acting shamelessly again, she lightly lifted her skirt in the next moment, revealing a small, delicate jade foot stepping in the air.

"You still want me to step on your face, don't you?"
