Chapter 74: Not Exactly Dangerous, Just Afraid of Getting Clothes Dirty
The moment Chen Daoxuan appeared, the oppressive pressure weighing on Leng Yanran vanished like smoke.
"Master..."
Feeling the warmth from Master's embrace and the familiar scent unique to him, Leng Yanran relaxed entirely, leaning softly against his broad chest.
With her Seventh Layer of the Profound Sky realm cultivation, standing firm against a Spirit Diving realm oppressor was no small feat!
She had used up nearly ninety percent of her spiritual power just to withstand the pressure. If Chen Daoxuan had come any later, she might have suffered internal injuries from trying to hold on!
"I didn't bring shame to you, did I, Master?"
Resting in his embrace, Leng Yanran asked in a low voice.
Since becoming his disciple just three or four months ago, she had already caused him a lot of trouble.
Each time, Master had to appear personally to resolve things. She couldn't help but feel utterly useless!
She needed to grow stronger, much stronger!
Strong enough to handle all troubles, strong enough to deal with all disrespectful enemies for her Master!
"Of course, you didn't bring me shame."
"Facing a Spirit Dividing realm cultivator at the level you're at without retreating — besides my disciple, who else in this world would have such courage?"
Chen Daoxuan smiled gently, patting Leng Yanran's head reassuringly.
"But... I keep causing you trouble, Master..."
"Maybe I should just stay on the mountain and stop wandering around."
Hearing her Master's gentle words filled Leng Yanran's heart with warmth.
Unable to help herself, she nuzzled her head into his chest, feeling a bit wronged.
"I've said before, there's no problem in this world that I cannot solve."
"So, do what you want to do and go where you want to go. I'll always have your back."
Chen Daoxuan raised his brow slightly.
He couldn't let his disciple develop this mindset. If she stayed on the mountain, sure, it would be safe, but how would he rack up points in the system that way?
Look at the bounty his good disciple brought him this time — what a treasure trove of points! This wasn't trouble; this was free system currency!
In the system, the Unity realm was worth a base of ten points, the Extinction realm a hundred, and the Boundless realm a thousand. The Ren Family Ancestral Patriarch he was about to confront, in the Spirit Dividing realm, was worth at least tens of thousands of points!
Especially after previously wasting a thousand points on defeating the patriarch's spiritual projection — finally, he had a chance to make back his losses and then some!
"Pretentious fool, hmph!"
"On the verge of death and still putting on airs. Soon enough, I'll avenge Qirui by killing you, crippling your disciple's cultivation, and placing her in a brothel in the Eastern Region!"
"Dare to harm my son? Have you thought of the consequences?"
The Ren family clan leader glared at Chen Daoxuan and said in a low voice.
Although he only sensed that Chen Daoxuan's cultivation was at the first layer of the Sea of Qi realm, he couldn't determine his true realm. However, with the Ancestral Patriarch at his side and the Five-Star Array Flag in hand, even a seventh layer Spirit Dividing realm cultivator would be suppressed!
In his view, Chen Daoxuan couldn't possibly be a seventh layer Spirit Dividing realm powerhouse, or he would have long since ruled the Eastern Region!
"Annoying."
Chen Daoxuan frowned slightly. He hadn't been particularly affected by the man's words, as the patriarch was as good as dead — points waiting to be collected.
But hearing his disciple insulted did make Chen Daoxuan feel a little angry.
"Master, all the suffering I endured was thanks to that Leng Yanran," another voice chimed in.
"Please, Palace Master, I beg you to help me seek justice!"
Awakening to the sight of Leng Yanran's master facing off against the Ren family, Wang Yan's eyes sparked with renewed hope as he turned to the Palace Master beside him, pleading his case.
"Oh?"
"So that's how it is. Don't worry; this Palace Master will take your side."
"But for now, it's best to let the Ren family test his strength. If they both suffer heavy losses, we can seize the opportunity and reap the benefits."
Hearing Wang Yan's words, the Xiaoyao Palace Master, who had originally intended to leave, paused, reconsidering his stance.
"Elder, I would like to ask for your help… never mind, sigh..."
Li Shenruo, observing the situation, once again tried to persuade the elder to intervene, but at the elder's disapproving look, she could only sigh in resignation.
Their Holy Mountain was the most powerful force in the Eastern Region, maintaining a neutral stance in all conflicts among other factions.
Because of this, no other forces had ever allied against them, thus granting the Holy Mountain an untouchable status.
If they intervened against the Ren family today and broke this unspoken rule, other factions might grow wary and form alliances to resist the Holy Mountain!
"It's all over now..."
"The Northern Region finally had a peerless talent like Leng Yanran, along with her powerful, mysterious master. Yet now they've angered a major force of the Eastern Region, sigh..."
Various leaders from Northern Region factions couldn't help but shake their heads in dismay. The Northern Region had always been poor in resources, and high-level cultivators in the Boundless Realm hadn't emerged for centuries.
Finally, they had a strong figure of their own. If he survived, it would give the Northern Region the leverage to hold their own against other Regions. At the very least, they could proudly claim the Northern Region had strong practitioners!
Chen Daoxuan noticed these thoughts flashing in everyone's eyes but paid them no heed.
As long as no one provoked him or spoke rudely, he didn't feel the need to kill anyone.
"Hmph, no matter how strong you are, you're still just a Northern Region ant."
"My Ren family Ancestral Patriarch is here, and we have the Five-Star Array Flag! Even if you're in the Spirit Dividing realm, I'll have you killed!"
"Today, I'll avenge my son!"
The Ren family clan leader stared at Chen Daoxuan with hatred in his eyes. His only son, the Ren family's pride and future, had been killed.
"You're talking too much."
Chen Daoxuan raised an eyebrow and then slowly descended to stand beside the elders of the Holy Mountain and Li Shenruo.
Facing a Spirit Dividing realm powerhouse for the first time, he felt a hint of uncertainty. Although he was confident in defeating his opponent, he was concerned about accidentally harming the disciple in his arms.
"I'd appreciate it if you could watch over Yanran for me."
Chen Daoxuan glanced at Li Shenruo, noticing she had cultivated an immortal-grade cultivation technique, and shook his head slightly in regret. It seemed she was not destined to be his disciple. His gaze briefly landed on the innocent-looking Li Yurong, but he quickly dismissed the thought.
He bowed slightly to the Holy Mountain elders, politely requesting their assistance.
"Rest assured, elder."
The three Holy Mountain elders initially wanted to refuse, unwilling to get involved in the chaos, but Li Shenruo, having received a favor from Chen Daoxuan, stepped forward and agreed first. Seeing this, the elders fell silent.
"Master, will you be in danger?"
Leng Yanran looked at her master with concern as he left her behind, visibly anxious.
"There's no real danger, just a bit of trouble."
"The main concern is that their blood might stain my clothes — which would be unpleasant."
