Emperor Qiankun

Li Qingyuan, who was at the center of this terrifying pressure, was the first to bear the brunt. He felt as if he was carrying a heavy burden of ten thousand pounds, and even breathing became extremely difficult.

However, there was no fear in his heart, and his indomitable fighting spirit gradually reached its peak.

"It doesn't matter if you killed him. As long as you are willing to stand on my side, I can help you settle this matter."

At this time, Chen Xuanxiao's voice sounded in Li Qingyuan's ears again, revealing a temptation and a threat in that voice.

At this point, Li Qingyuan finally mustered up enough strength and spoke, "Sect Master, what do you mean? Why are you saying this? I have no idea what you're talking about. You want me to admit it even though I didn't kill him? As the master of a sect, how can you slander me like this?"

His words were powerful, and despite the immense pressure on his body, the firmness and anger in his tone remained undiminished.

"Humph!"

Hearing Li Qingyuan's righteous words, Chen Xuanxiao couldn't help but snort coldly, with a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes. He simply stopped pretending and increased his aura again, causing the air around him to become distorted.

......

"Xuan Xiao, what are you doing? Are you threatening Senior Brother Hua's disciples?"

At this tense moment, a figure slowly walked in from outside.

He was an old man with a weathered face, dressed in plain gray clothes. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, revealing a majesty that should not be underestimated.

When Chen Xuanxiao heard this, his brows slightly furrowed, and he quickly restrained the aura emanating from his body.

Then he turned to look at the old man, forcing a smile on his face, and said, "Mr. Zhao, what brings you here? How come you have time to come to my Xuanyuan Palace today?"

There was a hint of politeness in Chen Xuanxiao's words, but there was a barely perceptible gloom in his eyes.

"Ha ha……"

Elder Zhao smiled heartily, stroked the few wisps of sparse beard on his chin, and jokingly said, "It seems that I have come at the wrong time. Since Xuanyuan Palace does not welcome me, I will not bother you any more."

After saying this, he pretended to turn around and leave.

Chen Xuanxiao's expression instantly turned awkward upon seeing this, but he still quickly stepped forward to stop Elder Zhao, saying with a smile, "Uncle Zhao, what are you talking about? Your presence here truly brings honor to the entire Xuanyuan Palace. Please take a seat."

The old man surnamed Zhao was also not polite. He strode straight to a chair in the hall, sat down slowly, and then said leisurely: "Don't pay attention to me, you guys continue."

As soon as he finished speaking, he calmly picked up the teapot on the table, gently filled himself a cup of steaming hot tea, then picked up the cup and took a sip slowly.

Chen Xuanxiao couldn't do anything about him. He was secretly angry, but he couldn't get angry.

He took a deep breath, turned to look at Li Qingyuan, with a hint of urgency in his eyes, and spoke again: "Tell me, your choice!"

Li Qingyuan looked at Chen Xuanxiao and the old man and felt a headache.

He knew in his heart that this was forcing him to make a choice!

But no matter which side he chooses to stand on, I'm afraid there will be no good results.

......

Just when the tense atmosphere reached its climax, a figure streaked across the sky like a meteor, and then landed steadily outside the hall.

The moment it landed, it brought about a slight air current, causing the surrounding dust to rise slightly.

The attention of Li Qingyuan, Chen Xuanxiao and Zhao Lao was drawn over almost at the same time.

When I saw who it was, I found it was Mr. Hua.

"Zhao Zhen, what are you doing here?"

Old Hua frowned slightly, and looked at the old man surnamed Zhao with a lightning-like gaze, with a hint of questioning in his tone.

Then, he looked at Chen Xuanxiao again, his eyes full of dissatisfaction, and shouted loudly: "And you, Xuanxiao, as the leader of a sect, you actually treat a junior like this? Where is your composure? Where is your fairness? With such behavior, are you still worthy of sitting in the position of sect leader!"

Elder Hua's voice echoed in the hall, and every word was like a heavy hammer, striking Chen Xuanxiao's heart.

As he spoke, a look of deep disappointment appeared on his face, which showed his deep sorrow and indignation at Chen Xuanxiao's behavior!

"Hehehe..."

Zhao Zhen felt a little embarrassed by Elder Hua's questioning. He gave a dry laugh and tried to lighten the mood. "Brother, I was just bored and came out for a walk. I happened to see Xuan Xiao putting pressure on a junior here, so I couldn't help but speak out to stop him. Speaking of which, you should thank me."

After hearing this, Elder Hua snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, put away your false sympathy. It's not your turn to worry about my disciples!"

Zhao Zhen's face turned red after hearing Mr. Hua's merciless rebuke, and the smile on his face disappeared in an instant.

He stood up suddenly and glared at Mr. Hua, his chest heaving violently with anger.

But perhaps because he knew he was in the wrong, or perhaps because he was afraid of Mr. Hua's authority, he finally suppressed the anger in his heart and did not vent it.

Then he walked away without even saying hello.

......

After seeing Zhao Zhen leave angrily, Chen Xuanxiao said with a complicated expression: "Uncle Hua, it's a good thing you came, otherwise what happened today would be..."

"You and I are not the same kind of people. Stop pretending to be nice to me and put away your hypocrisy!"

However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Elder Hua coldly, "I will only talk about today's matter this time. If there is a next time, I don't think you need to sit on the position of Sect Leader anymore!"

Elder Hua's voice was like a biting cold wind, carrying a bone-chilling chill that seemed to lower the temperature of the entire hall a few degrees.

His eyes were full of warnings to Chen Xuanxiao. That gaze was as real as substance, making Chen Xuanxiao feel a little breathless.

After saying that, Elder Hua no longer paid attention to Chen Xuanxiao. Instead, he turned to look at Li Qingyuan who was standing beside him and said in a deep voice, "Boy, let's go. Don't come to Xuanyuan Palace anymore. This is not the place for you!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qingyuan placed the space ring in his hand on the quaint table in the center of the hall without hesitation.

When the space ring touched the table, it made a slight "ding" sound, which was particularly clear in the silent hall.

Afterwards, he quickly followed Elder Hua's pace, and the two of them left Xuanyuan Hall one after the other.
