“This…”
The subordinates behind Manager He still hadn’t figured out what was happening.
They only knew that Manager He had disappeared, and a skeleton had appeared out of thin air before them!
It all happened too fast; their brains seemed to have frozen, and it took them a while to realize… the dignified Grand Manager of the He Family had been killed by a single palm strike from this Man in green robes!
“Purple… Purple Mansion Realm… He’s actually a Purple Mansion Realm expert!”
He Qiyun, the Eldest Young Master of the He Family, immediately turned pale after sensing the cultivation aura emanating from Lu Chen.
At the same time, the fear in He Qiyun’s eyes intensified as he looked at Lu Chen.
He hadn't expected that in Luoshui City, besides his Ancestor of the He Family, who was a Purple Mansion Realm Cultivator, there was actually a second Purple Mansion expert!
Moreover, this person looked so young, only seventeen or eighteen, or perhaps in his early twenties!
But in the world of cultivation, judging age solely by appearance might not be entirely accurate!
After all, some ancient monsters looked youthful and handsome, showing no signs of being ravaged by time!
At this moment, seeing that the two sides had already started fighting, the owner and waiters of the tavern fled the scene one after another.
Because if the tavern was gone, it could be reopened.
But if a person was gone, they were truly gone!
“You dare to touch my people?”
At this moment, He Qiyun’s voice trembled slightly.
After all, the person before him was a powerful Purple Mansion Realm Cultivator.
And he himself was just a small fry in the Spiritual Qi Realm.
Although he belonged to a prominent Family in Luoshui City, He Qiyun was lazy and gluttonous, spending his days indulging in food, drink, and entertainment, often engaging in activities like forcibly seizing women and disregarding human lives.
He Qiyun himself didn't possess much strength, but he relied on his Old Ancestor, who was a powerful Purple Mansion Realm Cultivator, to dominate Luoshui City, oppressing and exploiting others!
He was a true Young Master who relied on his Ancestor.
“Do you know who I am? I am He Qiyun of the He Family in Luoshui!”
“If you dare to touch me, my He Family will surely not let you off!”
Although He Qiyun was afraid, he still loudly announced his Family name.
The He Family had been the largest Family in Luoshui City for over a century.
And as the Eldest Young Master of the He Family, he certainly couldn't lose face for his Family.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen merely smiled slightly.
“Threatening me?”
At this moment, Lu Chen slowly stood up and walked leisurely towards He Qiyun.
On the other side, He Qiyun, seeing Lu Chen walking towards him, felt his heart leap into his throat, stumbled back two steps, and then fell to the ground.
“What are you all standing around for? Quickly stop him for me!”
He Qiyun shouted at the surrounding He Family subordinates.
Little did he know, when He Qiyun had just shouted that Lu Chen was a Purple Mansion Realm Cultivator, they had already been scared stiff, and even the weapons in their hands became unsteady, clattering to the ground!
And now He Qiyun was telling them to go up and stop Lu Chen, wasn't that just asking them to die?
Those few He Family subordinates exchanged glances, dropped a quick “Young Master, please take care,” and then hurried away!
“Useless… a bunch of useless trash!”
Seeing this, He Qiyun gritted his teeth.
Then, He Qiyun turned to Lu Chen and said, “Senior, please be magnanimous… This Junior’s previous words were offensive, and I hope Senior will not take offense. If possible, this Junior is willing to compensate Senior!”
“Compensation?”
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen frowned, his eyes narrowing.
After arriving in Luoshui City, he had learned about the actions of the He Family’s Young Master in Luoshui City.
Robbing, oppressing, bullying, beating, exploiting—not a single word was unrelated to He Qiyun!
Not only this Young Master of the He Family, but even ordinary Disciples of the He Family were extremely arrogant!
If they had some cultivation and could escape, that would be fine.
But ordinary commoners like these could only be at their mercy!
And Lu Chen had just completed a System mission, and his cultivation had now risen from that of an ordinary person to the first stage of the Purple Mansion Realm!
Lu Chen hadn't had a good chance to experience this sudden surge of power yet, so this guy was the perfect target!
“Senior, although you are a Purple Mansion expert, don’t forget that my Ancestor of the He Family is a Cultivator at the fifth stage of the Purple Mansion Realm. If you truly dare to harm a single hair on me, my Old Ancestor will definitely not let you off!”
“If I invite my Old Ancestor out, he will surely make you suffer greatly!”
Seeing that Lu Chen was unmoved, He Qiyun directly brought up the Ancestor of the He Family, who was at the fifth stage of the Purple Mansion Realm.
Because in his opinion.
Lu Chen was, at best, an ordinary Purple Mansion Cultivator.
And the Ancestor of the He Family was a Cultivator at the fifth stage of the Purple Mansion Realm!
Even with He Qiyun’s threat, Lu Chen still paid no attention, merely raising a hand and pointing in He Qiyun’s direction.
Immediately after, the weapons that had fallen to the ground, as if imbued with consciousness, all flew into the air, all aimed at He Qiyun, as if they would pierce him with ten thousand Flying Swords in the next second!
“You scoundrel, how dare you!”
At the same time, an ancient, extremely majestic voice suddenly came from outside the tavern!
But Lu Chen showed no intention of stopping; those Flying Swords rapidly shot towards He Qiyun!
He Qiyun’s body was instantly pierced by numerous Flying Swords!
“Stop!”
A loud shout, accompanied by a Spiritual Qi fluctuation, shattered the tavern’s roof, directly pulverizing all the Flying Swords suspended in the air!
Subsequently, a grey figure descended above the tavern.
It was an old man with white hair, dressed in grey robes.
He was the Ancestor of the He Family, He Shibi!
“Old… Old Ancestor…”
Upon seeing He Shibi arrive, He Qiyun, as if grasping a life-saving straw, cried out with all his might.
Although He Shibi saved He Qiyun, his body had been pierced by several Flying Swords, his Meridians were completely severed, and he was already a cripple!
“You scoundrel, you actually dared to cripple my grandson!”
“This Old Ancestor will make you pay with your blood!”
He Shibi, burning with rage, floated above the tavern, raised his hand, and unleashed a palm strike, his cultivation at the fifth stage of the Purple Mansion Realm erupting.
This was his full-power strike, certain to kill Lu Chen in one blow!
“Old Ancestor…”
Watching He Shibi actually launch a palm strike towards the tavern, He Qiyun’s face was filled with disbelief.
Did the Old Ancestor not see him here?
How could he completely disregard his own safety and directly attack this place?
However, no trace of mercy could be seen on He Shibi’s face.
Because in his opinion, He Qiyun was already a cripple.
If he were to go and save him now, He Shibi would find it troublesome!
Even if he were saved, He Qiyun would spend the rest of his life bedridden, which would be worse than death!
Given this, it was better to give him a quick end!
“Ding: Detected an individual with higher cultivation than the Host attacking the Host. The System’s passive ‘Feedback Amplification’ has been triggered!”
“Target locked: Ancestor of the He Family.”
“Target’s cultivation locked: Purple Mansion Realm, fifth stage.”
“Ding: The System has automatically raised the Host’s cultivation to the fifth stage of the Void Realm!”
As the System’s notification sounded.
A powerful aura rapidly surged within his body.
Lu Chen’s cultivation instantly rose to the fifth stage of the Void Realm!
Boom!
Due to He Shibi’s palm strike, the large tavern instantly turned into ruins!
High in the sky.
He Shibi looked at the ruins shrouded in smoke and dust, calmly retracting his palm.
He himself was a Cultivator at the fifth stage of the Purple Mansion Realm; one could say he was only one step away from entering the sixth stage of the Purple Mansion Realm!
And that strike just now was He Shibi’s full-power attack!
Even a powerful individual of comparable strength would have to temporarily retreat.
Not to mention, the opponent was just an ordinary Purple Mansion Realm Cultivator.
It was laughable that Lu Chen, upon seeing him unleash a full-power strike, did not dodge, but foolishly stood still, truly utterly stupid!
He Shibi smiled slightly.
He was certain that there were no survivors in those ruins!
