97: There's nothing I can do, because I'm bad!

Just a few breaths later, accompanied by several powerful Quasi-Emperor Might, Carefree Master and the others, carrying immense Quasi-Emperor Might, descended upon this world once more with an air of disdain.

"Imperial Son!!!"

Almost simultaneously, expressions of shock appeared on their faces.

They never expected that the imperial weapon would alarm Xuan Clan Imperial Son.

Had they known this earlier, why would they have bothered to get involved in this messy situation?

After all, in front of the colossal Xuan Clan, any struggle on their part would be futile.

Gazing at the extremely chaotic void before them, several people, as if guessing something, suddenly froze.

However, facing Xuan Tianchen, Xuan Clan Imperial Son, they still did not immediately flare up.

Instead, they hurriedly bowed and respectfully greeted Xuan Tianchen:

"This old man, Carefree Master, greets the Imperial Son!"

"This old man, Dragon Ancestor, bows to the Imperial Son."

...On the surface, they were all polite, but secretly, they were using their divine souls to probe the auras of their clan's cultivators.

Even Carefree Master was searching for Lin Xun's aura at this moment.

However, after a round of sensing, they all arrived at the same conclusion: everyone had perished here!

Carefree Master's face was gloomy as he spoke first, "Imperial Son, what exactly happened here? My disciple, Lin Xun..."

Xuan Tianchen heard this, gave him a cold glance, and said, "Your disciple presumptuously tried to resist This Imperial Son with an imperial weapon, and has already been suppressed and killed by This Imperial Son."

"What?!" Carefree Master's face instantly darkened upon hearing this. "Imperial Son, Lin Xun is merely an Immortal Emperor. How could he dare to oppose you? Is there a misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstanding?" Xuan Tianchen sneered, "He was stubborn and refused to hand over the imperial weapon, so This Imperial Son had no choice but to act. Are you implying dissatisfaction with what This Imperial Son said?"

"This..." Carefree Master was momentarily caught in a dilemma, unsure of what to do.

Lin Xun was indeed a disciple he had recently taken in, but their master-disciple bond was still shallow.

Moreover, Lin Xun had already perished and could not be brought back.

If he were to anger the unshakeable behemoth that was the Xuan Clan over this matter, and consequently incur their wrath upon the Xiao Yao Immortal Sect, even as the ancestor of the Xiao Yao Immortal Sect, he would find it hard to cope.

If things truly escalated to that point, Carefree Master would undoubtedly become the eternal sinner of the entire Xiao Yao Immortal Sect.

Dragon Ancestor, seeing Xuan Tianchen's strong and domineering attitude, could only suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart for now.

He asked softly, "Imperial Son, many of our clan's experts also perished here. Does the Imperial Son know anything about this?"

Xuan Tianchen heard this, slowly swept his gaze over everyone, and then sneered coldly, "While you all were busy fighting, This Imperial Son took care of them."

"Given the Imperial Son's status, they would certainly not dare to disrespect the Imperial Son first. So, regarding this matter, is the Imperial Son not going to give us an explanation?"

The Dragon Clan Ancestor Long Qing's face was slightly displeased at this moment, his brows tightly furrowed, and his words carried a hint of questioning.

However, Xuan Tianchen merely sneered, his laughter echoing through the void, carrying an endless chill.

"You want an explanation? This Imperial Son will give it to you right now!"

As soon as his voice fell, the heavenly bell of creation, radiating monstrous imperial might, had already appeared in his hand.

The bell body glowed, mysterious runes flickered, and a powerful pressure instantly permeated and filled the entire void.

Before everyone could react, Xuan Tianchen directly waved his large hand, and a massive force instantly infused into it, rapidly activating the heavenly bell of creation to forcefully suppress them.

In an instant, the just-restored void was annihilated by this powerful force, and the endless light and terrifying energy fluctuations made people tremble with fear.

The killing power contained in this strike was no less than the one that had just suppressed the Supremes and various Saint Realm cultivators.

Seeing this situation, Carefree Master and Dragon Ancestor dared not be negligent in the slightest; their vast and majestic aura also erupted fiercely.

That aura, like surging tides, fiercely impacted the surrounding violent forces.

Immediately, with a combined strike from several people, powerful forces converged, and they easily repelled the monstrous killing power unleashed by the heavenly bell of creation.

"This is... that kid Lin Xun's imperial weapon!"

"It seems all of this is indeed the Imperial Son's doing!"

"This time descending to the lower realm, we were ultimately too careless."

At this moment, everyone's eyes were wide with fury, and the rage in their hearts could no longer be suppressed.

Xuan Tianchen, as the Imperial Son, killing their people was one thing, but he even dared to lay hands on them personally.

No matter what, they were Quasi-Emperor Experts, prominent figures in the myriad realms.

How could they endure such humiliation?

After successfully blocking Xuan Tianchen's fierce killing move unleashed with the imperial weapon, the several individuals lined up, standing tall and imposing, their momentum like a rainbow.

At the same time, the powerful Quasi-Emperor aura on their bodies completely manifested like surging waves.

It moved like a dragon, vast and boundless, shaking this heaven and earth.

Xuan Tianchen saw that his killing move was easily blocked by them, but his face showed no surprise or anger.

Instead, he smiled mockingly, "Quasi-Emperor Experts are indeed Quasi-Emperor Experts. After all, they are not comparable to the rabble from before. It was not in vain for This Imperial Son to meticulously set up this trap."

Hearing these words, and recalling the various scenes from when they first met Lin Xun, everyone instantly realized the truth.

From beginning to end, they were not the first to arrive; they were merely pawns in Xuan Tianchen's game of chess.

And those mysterious killing moves that had previously ignited the conflict between them.

Now, without needing to think too hard, they could naturally guess that they came from Xuan Tianchen's hand.

At such a young age, he could completely conceal his aura right under the noses of several Quasi-Emperors.

He also set up this scheme, manipulating everyone in the palm of his hand, and massacring many cultivators from the Upper Heavens.

Now, he even intends to fight against them, these seasoned Quasi-Emperor Experts who have weathered many storms, with his own strength.

Such terrifying strength and unfathomable character undoubtedly destined him to become another Xuan Ming Immortal Emperor who will awe the heavens.

"Imperial Son, if we retreat now, can we let bygones be bygones regarding today's events?"

Facing Xuan Tianchen, Xuan Clan Imperial Son, the Dragon Clan Old Ancestor Dragon Ancestor was the first to show signs of retreat.

After all, with things as they were, further entanglement would likely not change the situation.

Instead, it might make things even worse.

Moreover, Xuan Tianchen's strength was extremely strange, clearly not as simple as the rumors of him only having True Immortal cultivation suggested.

With the imperial weapon's blessing in his hand, the increase in his combat power was terrifying!

Even as Quasi-Emperors, facing such a situation, they could only swallow this bitter pill and suffer this silent loss.

Furthermore, as Xuan Clan Imperial Son, it was absolutely impossible for Xuan Tianchen not to have powerful Dao Protectors behind him.

If they dared to rashly attack Xuan Tianchen, they probably wouldn't even know how they died in the end.

Seeing this, Carefree Master on the side could only sigh helplessly and say, "If the Imperial Son does not pursue this, then as far as we're concerned, we never met the Imperial Son today!"

In the face of the Xuan Clan's formidable deterrence, even as an Eighth Layer Quasi-Emperor expert, he had no choice but to lower his proud head.

But Xuan Tianchen harbored a killing intent towards them, so how could he easily grant their wishes at this moment?

He was seen steadily holding the heavenly bell of creation with one hand, standing proudly in place, and slowly smiling with a composed expression:

"It's not impossible to settle this peacefully, but you startled This Imperial Son when you just arrived. If there isn't one or two quasi-emperor weapons as compensation, I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to resolve."

Witnessing Xuan Tianchen's shameless conduct, everyone's faces instantly darkened, and their hearts were filled with indignation: Does your father know how awesome you are?

(Xuan Ming Immortal Emperor: I know, I've always known!!)

Although they were filled with immense dissatisfaction, in order to leave this place as soon as possible and escape the current situation, they could only suppress their inner anger, endure their reluctance, and obediently hand over a quasi-emperor weapon to Xuan Tianchen.

"Very good, you are quite sensible. Since that's the case, This Imperial Son will be kind enough to send you all on your way!"

After Xuan Tianchen accepted their quasi-emperor weapons, a cruel sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

At the same time, killing intent raged in his eyes, and his Immortal Dao Saint Realm cultivation was fully revealed!

Seeing this, Carefree Master and the others couldn't help but exclaim, "As Xuan Clan Imperial Son, how can you be so untrustworthy!!"

"No choice, because This Imperial Son is bad!!"

As Xuan Tianchen burst into wild laughter, he already held the heavenly bell of creation and charged towards them with the force of a thunderbolt.

In an instant, a terrifying aura instantly permeated and filled this universe.
