LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 237
Chapter 237: Look if You Don’t Believe
The four old men stood still, their faces bearing a hint of disdain.
“Master Li, as cultivators, we must adhere to hierarchy. That so-called ‘Master’ of yours not only fails to pay his respects to us but also expects us to visit him? There is no such rule in our immortal sect!”
One of the old men spoke indifferently.
Another old man echoed, “How can there be no rules? Is Master Li trying to force us to leave the True Immortal Sect?”
The remaining two old men exchanged glances and coldly remarked, “We came here to support you younger cultivators because your path is not easy, yet you show such ingratitude. Do you not fear an old man’s wrath?”
Li Huaizhen smiled coldly upon hearing this.
From their tone, it seemed they would attack the True Immortal Sect if they were not treated with the respect they demanded.
“Four gentlemen, it’s one thing that you usually look down on our sect. However, this time I advise you to think carefully. If you anger the Master, you might find yourself unable to escape the consequences.”
Li Huaizhen wanted to give these men a final chance.
“Hmph.”
The elder at the forefront, who was at the Eight Celestial Realm, grunted in anger.
“Li Huaizhen, are you threatening us? Let me make myself clear: if that fellow doesn’t come to greet us within fifteen minutes, don’t blame me for turning against him!”
“Young man, I admit your talent in cultivation is quite good, but the cultivation world ultimately speaks with strength! Your mistake lies in mistaking my kindness for weakness! Today, let me show you the might of the Eight Celestial Realm!”
“Quickly send that fellow over to kneel and pay his respects, or I will destroy your broken sect!”
The old men were filled with fury.
In their eyes, in the entirety of the Cloud Dragon Realm, under the condition that no one at the Ninth Celestial Realm appeared, who would dare behave arrogantly in front of them?
Even if a Ninth Celestial powerhouse showed up, they wouldn’t dare to mention a greeting, after all, they were also close to breaking through to the Ninth Celestial existence. Who would dare easily offend them?
“Hahaha.”
Li Huaizhen laughed.
His laughter was filled with hostility and demonic energy.
“How bold of you old bastards! You covet my spiritual mountain and my immortal crystals, yet dare to act so arrogantly towards my young master? Do you really think you can bully the True Immortal Sect?”
The four old men completely dismissed Li Huaizhen’s strength.
“Bully you, and what of it!”
“I could wipe out all the disciples of your broken sect; who can stop me?”
“Foolish creature, let me teach you what the might of the Eight Celestial Realm is!”
Boom!
One of the old men immediately took action.
With a single palm strike, a massive burst of celestial power formed a shadow of a hand aimed at Li Huaizhen.
Li Huaizhen let out a screech, and a layer of black scales erupted from his skin.
His entire aura changed, resembling a true demon god.
“Roar!”
As the palm attack approached, black mist swirled around Li Huaizhen’s claws. He struck out with both hands to clash with the shadow of the palm.
Bang!
A thunderous explosion shook the heavens and the earth, causing the entire grounds of the True Immortal Sect to tremble.
After this strike, the demonic energy on Li Huaizhen was shattered, sending him hurtling back hundreds of feet, smashing into a mountain behind him.
“Hmm? This fellow is quite impressive!”
The old man was astonished. His previously unleashed celestial power had actually been broken apart.
A strike from the Fourth Celestial Realm could break through the Eighth Celestial Realm’s palm attack!
This was simply unimaginable and unheard of!
Imagine if both sides were at the same realm; what would the outcome be?
“Old bastard, come, let’s fight!”
While the old men were still in shock, Li Huaizhen’s figure shot out from the collapsed mountain, flying back.
Though some of his scales were broken and slightly stained with demonic blood, his aura remained steady and profound, indicating he had not sustained severe injuries.
The four old men were indeed taken aback!
They were well aware of Li Huaizhen’s background; it was rumored that he had once been a small monk who obtained a demon cultivator’s inheritance in a forbidden area and rose abruptly.
They had not expected his demon cultivation inheritance to be so extraordinary!
If he were allowed to truly grow, what would happen then?
“No wonder this fellow was able to defeat a Third Celestial Realm genius when he first entered the Celestial Realm!”
“What a pity. His demon cultivation technique requires a transformation of his immortal body to practice, which means we have no opportunity.”
“Since his technique is of no use to us, there’s no need for you all to deal with him further. It would be best to eliminate this child at the earliest!”
The old men discussed among themselves.
Li Huaizhen smirked coldly, “So it turns out you old bastards are not only after the resources of my sect but also covet my techniques?”
“Hahaha.”
The leading old man laughed loudly.
“You fool, only now do you understand? If we were only after a few immortal crystals, we could slaughter all your sect members and force you to hand it over. Why should we grovel and depend on you, a demon bandit?”
“Unfortunately, after secretly studying you for a long time, we finally discovered that your demon technique is not suitable for us to cultivate. Even if you didn’t provoke us today, your death would not be far off.”
“How coincidental, just as your ‘master’ has returned, we can conveniently eradicate you all at once!”
The old men were exceedingly arrogant, seemingly revealing their original plans despite their apprehension.
Upon hearing all this, Li Huaizhen not only did not get angry but instead retracted his overwhelming demonic energy.
“I initially thought that this time, the Master would only chide you a little, but now it seems you fools are rushing to your doom, afraid of being a moment late, hahaha.”
The four old men looked quite disdainful, rebuking, “With death at your doorstep, you still dare to be stubborn! Who in this world dares to eclipse our brilliance?”
At that moment, a figure in white descended from the sky.
“You four, being only at the Eighth Celestial Realm, are being a bit too arrogant.”
In the blink of an eye, Chen Ansheng had arrived beside Li Huaizhen.
“Greetings, young master.”
Li Huaizhen immediately bowed.
The faces of the four old men dropped simultaneously.
In their perception, this young man in white seemed just an insignificant character who had just entered the Celestial Realm, yet they felt something was off; the more they looked, the more a sense of trepidation arose.
“Are you the founder of the True Immortal Sect?”
The leading old man asked coldly.
“Indeed, it is I.” Chen Ansheng replied, then said, “So, do you think the Eighth Celestial Realm is invincible, able to stride across the four seas?”
The old man sneered, “To speak frankly, that is exactly what I believe; what can you do about it?”
Chen Ansheng curled his lips and responded, “Then your perspective is somewhat shortsighted. If you don’t believe it, look.”
As he spoke, Chen Ansheng extended a finger and gently pointed forward.
Suddenly, a wisp of celestial power was unleashed.
Boom!
Crack!
The space ahead was slashed open by that strand of celestial power, creating a gruesome rift, the laws were disrupted, and thunder rumbled.
When that rift reached one of the old men, he didn’t even have time to unleash his celestial power before he was reduced to a puddle of blood mist and then erased from existence.
“You see, I did not deceive you, did I?”
Chen Ansheng raised a smile, focusing his gaze on the leading old man.
