Chapter 53 Gaining the Upper Hand with a Show of Strength (1/2)

Everyone was familiar with Bai Ying's sharp tongue. The atmosphere instantly stiffened after her words and the air seemed to have gone completely still. People couldn't help trembling with fear after detecting the cold, murderous aura coming from Perfected Immortal Yunyin. They didn't even dare to exhale.

First Elder was particularly affected. He felt cold all over as if he had been thrown into an icehouse. Second Elder immediately addressed the man in midair with a smile. ”Please contain your fury, Perfected Immortal. Our Junior Sister has always been this way. She has no intention of offending you.” He shot Bai Ying meaningful looks as he spoke, indicating her not to annoy the man anymore.

He might not fear Yunyin but he represented the Skygale Sect. If a fight broke out when their Sect Leader wasn't around, their side stood no chance at all.

Perfected Immortal Yunyin scoffed. ”I'm not angry! Where's the one who wounded my Inner Disciple, Xu Hao?”

”Here.” Xiao Chen had also arrived in the square and swiftly joined Bai Ying's side.

”You're Xiao Chen?” Yunyin immediately looked at him coldly. The moment their eyes met, Xiao Chen felt a sudden sharp surge of Qi and blood. He felt as if his five viscera and six bowels were close to shattering and nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Bai Ying swiftly raised her arm, using her long sleeve to block Yunyin's line of sight. ”Perfected Immortal Yunyin is also one of the Elders of the Cultivators' sects. Don't you found it beneath you to cast a mental attack on someone of the younger generation?”

It took a while for Xiao Chen to recover. He couldn't help feeling horrified. Was this the difference in their strengths? The man could easily kill him with a single look.

By then, Luo Shangyan, Xiao Han, and the others had gathered. Mo Yu and Chu Hanyan had also appeared from the other side. Perfected Immortal Yunyi's expression darkened as his gaze swiftly fell on Chu Hanyan, surprised that she was able to attain the Core Forming Realm at such a young age. Could Chu Hanyan be the disciple that the Three Pure Sect would send to the Violet Manor?

The other Elders on the ground took notice as well. Chu Hanyan was perhaps the only one who could strike a little fear into Yunyin at the moment. First Elder immediately greeted her. ”You're here, Hanyan.”

Chu Hanyan nodded at him before turning to look coldly at the man in midair. ”How should I address you, senior? Why did you break into the Three Pure Sect today?”

Perfected Immortal Yunyin trembled ever so slightly, thinking she had indeed returned from the Violet Manor and that her identity wasn't so simple. He couldn't help feeling a little frightened. ”Xiao Chen hurt my Inner Disciple. I must bring him back to my sect for a trial.”

Chu Hanyan glanced indifferently at Xiao Chen before replying coolly, ”Sure. However, if you dare destroy even a stalk of a flower or a blade of grass in the Three Pure Sect today, I'll definitely pay your sect a visit someday.”

Her words were even more dignified than First Elder and caught by Perfected Immortal Yunyin by surprise. This girl was certainly under the tutelage of someone significant in the Violet Manor. It was better for him to not provoke her. Besides, his only purpose today was to take Xiao Chen away. ”I'm only here to take people away and will not damage your sect in any way.”

The moment he made this remark, all the disciples in the square were secretly relieved. Simultaneously, they gained a new-found respect for Chu Hanyan. The Skygale Sect might be able to disregard the Three Pure Sect but they had to be respectful of her.

This was the reason why, in the past hundreds of years, the major sects had tried to send their outstanding disciples to the Violet Manor.

Right then, the male disciple standing behind Perfected Immortal Yunyin moved forward on his flying sword. He looked at Xiao Chen. ”Let's go. If you're innocent, we'll send you back.”

Xiao Chen's heart went still. These people must have discovered that he possessed twelve Spiritual Meridians. Once he went with them today, he would certainly not return.

”Wait a minute. He's my disciple. Who are you to take him away as you please?”

Bai Ying looked up to shoot Perfected Immortal Yunyin an icy glare. First Elder immediately reproached her. ”Silence! Didn't you hear that he'll be sent back as long as he's innocent?”

Bai Ying sneered. ”Do you really think of yourself as the head of all immortals in the Human World, to break in and take away a person as you please?”

Perfected Immortal Yunyin replied coolly, ”Oh? Elder Bai, does this mean you're unwilling to hand him over?”

Bai Ying smiled. ”I can hand him over, but only according to the rules. You can make your demand after defeating me, his master.”

A commotion instantly broke out in the square. Perfected Immortal Yunyin was already at Lv 6 Core Forming Realm, only one step away from entering the late stage of the realm. Not even First Elder had the courage to charge forward. Wouldn't she, who was merely in the Foundation Building Realm, be digging her own grave? After all, casualties were a non-factor in a duel between members of the Cultivators' sects.

Second Elder's expression changed drastically as he recalled the great calamity that he had previously deduced for her. He said hastily, ”Junior Sister! You mustn't!”

Perfected Immortal Yunyin smiled coolly. ”I've long heard of Elder Bai's one-of-a-kind skills in the entire cultivation realm. This is fine, too. I'll experience for myself Elder Bai's invention, the Wisdom-forsaking Technique.”

He looked at the two disciples behind him. ”Go down and watch carefully. Elder Bai rarely gets into duels with others. Take this opportunity to observe carefully.” His words were laced with obvious sarcasm.

”Yes! Master!” The two immediately flew to the ground on their swords and looked at Bai Ying with obvious disdain.
