Don’t Push It!
Pavilion Master Wang took a close look and quickly recognized Ye Chen’s origins.
Cultivators from the Wild Domain, compared to those from Central Continent, will have some slight differences in aura. However, this only appears when they first arrive in Central Continent. After some time, they are assimilated, and this aura naturally disappears.
Pavilion Master Wang possesses Void Realm strength, so he could easily see this.
“What does this kid have to do with you? Why did you save him?” Pavilion Master Wang frowned and spoke angrily.
“I am his Big Brother, and I came here to take him away.”
Ye Chen spoke frankly, picking up the unconscious Young Man.
“Do you think my Emerald Pavilion is just some place you can come and go as you please? And you even want to take him away?”
Pavilion Master Wang was also angry. Ye Chen’s sudden intervention was one thing, but then to snatch someone right in front of him, completely disregarding him!
He let out a cold snort, then attacked again, striking a palm toward the Void. Immense Spiritual Power immediately condensed a huge palm above the Void.
The palm was covered with various Mystic Symbols, pressing down towards Ye Chen’s head!
The terrifying Pressure felt like it could shatter the Void!
“Humph! Do you really think this Young Master is afraid of you?”
Ye Chen coldly snorted, holding the Young Man in his left hand and decisively punching with his right, Immortal Slaughter!
Ye Chen’s control over Immortal Slaughter was becoming increasingly proficient. He could still keep all his aura restrained, gathering it all in his fist, solely to deliver a earth-shattering punch!
Boom!
Another explosion sounded. Pavilion Master Wang’s originally sure-to-succeed Attack couldn’t withstand Ye Chen’s fist for even a moment, and was directly smashed into a huge hole!
Not only that, but Ye Chen’s fist’s Might did not diminish, directly heading towards Pavilion Master Wang!
Caught off guard, Pavilion Master Wang could only raise his hands to Resist, trying to protect his vital points. With a muffled bang, he was sent flying.
Flying more than ten meters, Pavilion Master Wang’s body crashed into the hall’s wall with a muffled boom, before finally managing to stabilize himself.
The entire hall was shaking at this moment, as if about to collapse.
“This… this is impossible!”
Pavilion Master Wang coughed up several mouthfuls of blood before feeling slightly better.
It was also fortunate that he had Void Realm cultivation; otherwise, that single punch alone would have crippled him!
At this moment, Pavilion Master Wang felt a surge of turmoil within his body, an extremely tyrannical and domineering Fist Intent rampaging inside him. Even trying his best, he could only barely suppress it.
“Little Friend Ye! What is the meaning of this?”
Only now did Xiao Feng and Xiao Ling rush over, followed by many Alchemists who were present.
Ye Chen’s sudden attack had truly startled them all. These people were now completely bewildered and clueless.
“Second Elder, do you know him?”
Pavilion Master Wang clutched his chest, glanced at Xiao Ling, then at Ye Chen, before asking.
“This person is a newly arrived Alchemist.” Xiao Ling said.
“Then why did he come here to make trouble?” Pavilion Master Wang was even more confused now. He had been beaten for no reason, and by an Alchemist, no less! Where could he possibly reason with this?
“I merely came to save someone, not to intentionally cause trouble. This Young Man has a connection with me, and I saved him myself.” Ye Chen’s expression was calm as he explained first.
“Save someone? Do you know what this little beast did?” Pavilion Master Wang coldly said. Although he was unhappy, he dared not act rashly because of the Second Elder.
“Hmm?” Ye Chen furrowed his brows, and not only he, but everyone around also felt curious.
After all, even if they were just Servant Disciples, once they entered the Emerald Pavilion, they were considered Gu Family members and had an Identity; they could not be killed at the whim of Pavilion Master Wang.
“He harmed his Fellow Disciple, killing his Senior Brother with such viciousness. How could I stand idly by?” Pavilion Master Wang coldly snorted, his eyes still containing a trace of anger.
However, compared to before, he had already restrained himself considerably.
“Cough cough…”
After taking Ye Chen’s Pill, the Young Man’s injuries had clearly stabilized. He coughed up some blood clots and slowly regained consciousness.
He seemed to have heard Pavilion Master Wang’s words and struggled to explain, “Ever since I entered the Emerald Pavilion… he… he never treated me like a person… he always bullied me, forcing me to kneel…”
“I endured it silently for the sake of survival, but today he went overboard… he even insulted my Mother… I… I absolutely wouldn’t allow it…”
The Young Man held his breath, and despite his serious injuries, he gritted his teeth and finished his words.
“Just for these reasons, you would take a life? Your methods were so vicious, and you still don’t know your wrong?!”
Pavilion Master Wang coldly snorted, his anger rising, and even his voice became louder.
“I… am I just destined to be bullied? You never treated me like… a person!” The Young Man reasoned strongly, and because of his excitement, he even aggravated his internal injuries.
“Obstinate! Even if a Grand Golden Immortal were to come here today, they couldn’t save you!”
Angered, Pavilion Master Wang was about to attack, but Ye Chen stopped him.
“Pavilion Master Wang, I respectfully address you as Pavilion Master, but don’t push your luck.”
Ye Chen said coldly, shielding the Young Man with his body.
Pavilion Master Wang glared at Ye Chen, his hatred reaching the point where he was gnashing his teeth, as if about to crush them; yet he dared not take another step forward.
In their earlier exchange with Ye Chen, he had been injured with a single move. Even if Pavilion Master Wang were a fool, he could see that Ye Chen was no ordinary person.
Engaging him now, his chances of victory would likely be slim; even if he managed to win, he would probably pay a heavy price.
Moreover, Xiao Ling was here now. If he were to act violently, it would be unbecoming.
“Second Elder, although this person is a new Alchemist, his actions are so unreasonable. Won’t you, Elder, do something about this…”
Since attacking was hopeless, Pavilion Master Wang could only place his Hope on Xiao Ling.
However, before he could finish, Xiao Ling raised his hand to interrupt, “Enough, your poor management led to this situation, yet you still blame it on a Disciple. How unbecoming!”
These words were a public slap in the face of Pavilion Master Wang, but the latter dared not even breathe heavily, and could only swallow his anger.
“Since Little Friend Ye has a connection with this Young Man, then let him follow Little Friend Ye. Pavilion Master Wang, what do you think?”
Xiao Ling paused for a moment, then spoke.
Upon hearing this, Pavilion Master Wang was stunned for a moment, his eyes filled with disbelief. Although he was unhappy, he did not dare to show it, only saying with a sullen face, “Second Elder, this is against the Rules, isn’t it?”
“According to Family Rules, killing fellow Disciples results in expulsion from the family at the least, and death at the worst. I think Second Elder is more aware of this than I am.”
Pavilion Master Wang was already simmering with anger. First, he was beaten by Ye Chen, then defied by the Young Man. Now, Xiao Ling was taking Ye Chen’s side. How could he possibly swallow this?!
