Chapter 191 (1/2)

Xiao Chen followed the two young men to the fourth floor, where music soon entered his ears. When he entered the room, exotic fragrance invaded his nostrils. He saw two zither players sitting near the wall. In between the players were seven dancers with alluring figures in the midst of a performance. In the center seat was a young man in golden brocade, with two breathtakingly beautiful dancers partially lying down on the couch as they pour him wine.

The two gorgeous dancers put on seductive smiles when they saw Xiao Chen approach, unveiling their fair thighs. A strange glint crossed his pupils but he swiftly calmed himself. These two women possessed such strong enchanting powers. The two zither players were no ordinary people either; their cultivation was in the late-stage Foundation Building Realm. They had swords hidden under their zithers.

“Why have you summoned me?”

The young man in the golden brocade chuckled and said serenely, “There’s no hurry. We can talk after a cup of wine.” With a gentle flick of his sleeve, a wine cup flew toward Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen raised his hand and the wine cup became frozen in midair. The fine wine inside the cup spilled none over the floor.

“Forget the wine. Where is he?”

The young man in the golden brocade laughed. “What’s wrong? Don’t you want to know who I am and what business I have with you?”

Xiao Chen replied emotionlessly, “Nope. Please hand my friend over now. I can pretend as if nothing has happened.”

“Outrageous!” The young man in the golden brocade raised his head to laugh. His gaze subsequently turned icy. “Do you have the right to talk to me that way right now? You may be able to walk in here today, but I fear you won’t be able to walk out!”

The moment he finished speaking, an ominous glint flashed in his eyes. The key of the music that the two zither players were producing suddenly changed as well. It turned to the song “Ten-sided Ambush”. Following a series of clanging sounds, the seven dancers unveiled swords in their hands. The glint of the blades was blinding.

Murong Xian’er turned pale. Xiao Chen said placidly, “What, you’re planning to keep me here with just this group of people?” He sounded as serene as ever as if he didn’t consider them worthy opponents at all.

“Take this!” one of the dancers bellowed as she abruptly lunged at him with her sword. The cold glint was striking, unveiling the entirety of her murderous aura. Xiao Chen flicked his sleeves, instantly unleashing his psychokinesis ability. At such a short distance, a mid-stage Foundation Building Realm cultivator was merely a nobody in his eyes.

It was as if a large, intangible hand had appeared midair, grabbing hold of the dancer and locking her there. Her thin clothes couldn’t hide her nether regions. She looked pained. Xiao Chen shoved her with his palm and sent her flying.

“Clang! Clang!” The two zithers sounds reverberated. The two zither players abruptly pulled out their swords from under their zithers and stabbed Xiao Chen’s back.

Xiao Chen scoffed and once again flicked his sleeves. It was as if the two zither players had sunk into mud, with their movements becoming slower and slower until it became nearly impossible for them to walk. The point of the swords finally stopped when they were an inch away from Xiao Chen’s back.

When he pinched his five fingers, a clanging sound shattered the air as the swords in the zither players’ hands broke into seven or eight pieces. Blood sprayed from their mouth at the same time as if they had suffered great pressure. They were thrown backwards.

“Just tell me who you are.”

The eyes of the young man in the gold brocade turned cold. He said solemnly, “I’m Zuoqiu Ze! I’m here on someone’s request to take your life!” He rose to his feet and lunged at Xiao Chen like a white orb of light.

Explosive sounds reverberated as the two of them collided. Dust slowly fell from the roof beams. The entire House of Intoxicated Immortals shook as if it was about to collapse. Xiao Chen was rather alarmed. He never thought that his opponent would be a mid-stage Core Forming Realm cultivator.

Similarly, Zuoqiu Ze didn’t expect Xiao Chen to be as powerful as rumored. The later looked like an early-stage Foundation Building Realm cultivator but in fact, possessed the strength of a mid-stage Core Forming Realm cultivator. He stopped underestimating Xiao Chen. The air suddenly went out of focus as a talisman seal materialized in his hand out of the blue. He threw it at Xiao Chen with force.
