Chapter 2172: Chen Taihe (2/2)

The crowd took a deep breath at the fierce statement but they took it in stride after witnessing his swift and murderous disposal of the Peng earlier.

Shuwei’s expression became extremely unsightly. The Chen might not be the strongest lineage and their cavalry might not be the strongest group, but both were definitely among the top five in Insane Court. But now, Li Qiye viewed them as nothing, paying no mind to their battle-hardened prowess. How could Shuwei not be angry?

The members of the two cavalries behind Shuwei angrily stared at their foe, feeling the same anger as Shuwei.

“You’re too arrogant.” Shuwei’s tone turned cold: “There is always a better man and a taller mountain, experts appear in waves in this world, you think you are unbeatable?”

Li Qiye chuckled: “That proverb is indeed true, but it doesn’t apply to me. I am invincible, and plus, you’re only a bunch of n.o.bodies.”

The second disdainful response made the group tremble with rage. So many experts would bow their head after seeing this legion but not Li Qiye.

“Please return, our Chen Clan is not receiving guests today, excuse us.” A powerful voice came about from an old man coming out of the camp.

He stood there, as tough as a pine tree with a majestic presence. Hair completely gray and eyes flas.h.i.+ng like the stars - a stately combination. The energy of a True Saint engulfed the area like a tsunami.

“The Chen Clan Master, a retired High Minister.” Someone recognized his ident.i.ty and shouted.

People felt respect right away - some even expressed it with a slight bow.

This was Chen Taihe, the current master of his clan. He was also a High Minister once, quite renowned in Insane Court. He eventually retreated from the limelight in order to support his son, Chen Shuwei. The guy was also quite powerful on top of everything else as a grand True Saint.

People were quite surprised to see him here at Ivory Gap. Remember, the late emperor was only a grand True King. He was one realm above the emperor of the system. From this, one could easily tell of his status.

Nevertheless, Li Qiye only gave him a casual glance: “I don’t give a d.a.m.n whether you’re seeing guests or not. Hand over Peng Chujun and I can overlook this.”

Chen Shuwei wasn’t happy to hear this but his father took it much better: “Find mercy and benevolence when possible. The Peng had lost and paid a great price. They won’t dare to oppose you any longer, so it should be fine for you to spare its clan master.”

Taihe was being quite reasonable, so the crowd turned towards Li Qiye for his response.

“An ant telling an elephant to do, how amusing.” Li Qiye chuckled: “I do things in a very simple manner, if you don’t hand him over, I’ll flatten your clan. The choice is yours.”

“How impudent!” The excitable Shuwei was the first to shout.

All the Chen disciples followed suit. A public declaration of demise? It was such disrespect for their clan. How could they ignore such blatant provocation?

Li Qiye, on the other hand, found his declaration to be quite ordinary, evident by the faint smile on his face.

Even Chen Taihe was affected now. His expression became less friendly: “Don’t push it, we won’t sit idly by and watch if you continue on this path.”

They needed to protect Peng Chujun at all cost today. The Peng was still their ally and servant. If they couldn’t protect their “little brother” right now, then how could other clans in Upper Faction be willing to listen to them?
