Chapter 1448
The simple phrase, "Young friend, please wait," carried an imposing aura no less powerful than the cold snort uttered by the person in charge of guarding the Wanbaoshan headquarters just moments before.
Chen Xuan's soul was affected by the sudden impact. He stopped in his tracks, frowned, and turned his head to look. He saw an old man in black robes standing with his hands behind his back on the cloud bridge outside the window of the private room. The old man's face was full of wrinkles and he looked ruthless, but his aura was the kind of pressure that only a powerful loose immortal could have.
Based on Chen Xuan's experience in fighting multiple loose immortals and earth immortals, he judged that this person was indistinguishable from Master Qiandao simply by his aura.
"May I ask what brings you here, senior?" Chen Xuan asked respectfully, bowing with his hands clasped.
"Young friend, do you know the whereabouts of the three prodigies of my Nalan clan?" The old man's voice was calm and straightforward, without any fancy words, while his sharp eyes were fixed on Chen Xuan's facial expression.
"Three prodigies of the Nalan Clan?" Chen Xuan's expression remained natural. He paused for a moment, then smiled and said without any concern, "Senior, you must have the wrong person. I, Chen Xuan, am merely a rogue cultivator. How could I be qualified to be acquainted with the contemporary prodigies of the Nalan Clan?"
However, Chen Xuan's acting skills were naturally up to par, but Yu'er, Zhanxin, Piaoxue and others who knew the inside story noticed the instantaneous changes in their expressions when they heard the powerful immortal of the Nalan clan appear and question them, and the old man clearly saw this.
“Young friend, no matter how Junze, Yuze, or Fengming offended you in the Immortal Realm Ancient Road Secret Realm, you should not have suppressed them for ten years.” The old man seemed to be in control of everything, his sharp and steady eyes staring at Chen Xuan as he continued, “As long as you release them now, I can guarantee that this matter will not be pursued any further.”
Should we hold them accountable?
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan's expression changed. He thought of his disciple Jiang Linglong, who had been tortured day and night, and of the eighty million innocent and tragically killed members of the Longxia clan...
Chen Xuan slowly raised his head, his eyes flashing with a ferocious look as he stared at the powerful rogue immortal from the Nalan clan. He laughed and said, "Senior is joking. With my strength, how could I possibly capture and suppress the three prodigies of the Nalan clan? As the saying goes, if you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext. Senior can't just arbitrarily pin a crime on a junior without any evidence, can you?"
The old man hadn't expected Chen Xuan to be so sharp-tongued, and to remain so calm in the face of his immense pressure.
"Hmph, your companions and friends have already betrayed the true secret you've been trying to conceal." The old man was neither in a hurry nor angry; he simply looked at Chen Xuan with his hands behind his back.
Upon hearing this, all of Chen Xuan's friends, including Zhan Xin, Zi Mo, and Tian Xing, whose expressions changed.
How could their mental fortitude possibly compare to Chen Xuan's?
If they had planned ahead and prepared themselves mentally, they could have perfectly concealed their fear. But in the face of a sudden situation, they only showed a moment of tension and fear, which was noticed by the immortal.
Even if Chen Xuan didn't want to admit it at this point, he still had many ways to clear his name. But the reality was that once the super tribe Nalan suspected him, it wouldn't matter whether he was the culprit or not.
After some thought, Chen Xuan surveyed the surroundings and immediately made a decision.
Since he was currently at the Emperor's Wanbaoshan headquarters, under the watchful eyes of three thousand princes, he decided to lay his cards on the table and devise a plan to put the Nalan clan in a difficult position, forcing them to make a deal with him.
Chen Xuan's expression changed at this moment. The two sides had already broken off relations. He still had trump cards in his hand, so he simply stopped pretending. In front of the clansmen, confidants, and even the geniuses of various clans of the various kings and marquises, he waved his hand and directly pulled the primordial spirits of Nalan Junze, Nalan Yuze, and Nalan Fengming out of the Northern Underworld Immortal Mansion.
slam-la-
Three black soul chains, like tethering dogs, locked the necks of the three souls. The souls of the three Nalan heroes had been tormented by Chen Xuan with the Soul Devouring Curse for ten years, and were already extremely weak. Let alone facing a top-level loose immortal, even if the Nalan clan's Heavenly Immortal Ancestor himself came, he could make the three of them disappear with just a thought.
