Chapter 880: Chapter 775: Exceptionally Gifted Young Man (2)
Between Wanhe Palace and Five Immortals City, one can only say that the waters remain undisturbed.
There is no enmity between them, but also no cooperation, and no prospect of cooperation in the future.
Since that’s the case, Qu Chongshan certainly has no need to be polite.
The attitude of the juniors before him, Dean Sixin had anticipated before coming.
However, being spoken to this way face-to-face, Dean Sixin’s expression still became somewhat unpleasant.
"Nephew, are you sure you can make this decision?
Before you decided to protect You Wanying, Five Immortals City had already declared her an enemy of the sect.
Wanhe Palace cares about its face, does Five Immortals City not care about its face?
If you, Nephew, are determined not to talk, then we shall not talk henceforth.
Let us exert our skills and rely on our abilities."
Dean Sixin seemed well-versed in negotiation tactics, and after these words, the previously confident Qu Chongshan showed a moment of hesitation on his face.
After all, Five Immortals City is of considerable renown.
"Additionally, Nephew should also know, Shen Han’s hatred for You Wanying is deep-rooted.
Now that Shen Han can fight Hui Taoist undefeated, his future potential is predictable.
Are you sure you want to make an enemy of such a promising young man?"
Dean Sixin spoke each word carefully, adding a touch of unease to Qu Chongshan’s heart.
In a moment, a figure approached from afar.
The newcomer had a long beard, appearing much older than Qu Chongshan, exuding a certain aura of an expert.
His expression carried a hint of dissatisfaction.
"As the grandson of the Wanhe Palace Master, do you not even have this level of judgment?"
The elder stood before Qu Chongshan, and his first words were of reproach.
"She merely had a slightly harsher tone, what is there to hesitate about?
If you’re indecisive, how will you control Wanhe Palace in the future?
Could it be that our Wanhe Palace is afraid of their Five Immortals City?
Or are you afraid of this extremely talented young man?"
The moment he arrived, it was a barrage of criticism.
Just listening to his words, it was clear that he was several times more forceful than Qu Chongshan.
As he spoke, he took a few steps forward.
"I’m Qu Xingyuan, and on matters my incompetent son cannot decide, I will make the decision.
You Wanying and Hui Taoist, Wanhe Palace is determined to protect.
Whatever tactics you wish to employ, feel free to come at us.
I want to see just how capable you are."
As he spoke, Qu Xingyuan cast his gaze towards Shen Han not far away, glancing at him briefly before looking away.
He didn’t speak to belittle Shen Han but turned to look at his son Qu Chongshan, with more of a look of disappointment and anger on his face.
"You rebellious son, if you’re truly scared by such a young junior, I’ll kick you in front of everyone.
Just because the outside world boasts about him, do you truly believe it?
Is this the level of discernment one who is to inherit the position of Palace Master should have?"
Qu Xingyuan criticized further, clearly very angry at this moment.
After hearing his father’s reproach, Qu Chongshan also furrowed his brows tightly, speaking up to defend himself.
"To answer Father, even if I am incompetent, I would not be frightened by a so-called promising young junior.
However, this matter is significant, concerning the external relations of Wanhe Palace.
It is appropriate to discuss with the elders of the palace before making a decision."
Speaking this way, Qu Xingyuan’s expression finally eased considerably.
As the confrontation continued, another group emerged from the Wanhe Palace sect.
Among them were You Wanying and Hui Taoist.
There was hatred and resentment on You Wanying’s face.
Once she was the one chasing Shen Han into retreat.
But now, the situation was reversed, and she had to seek sanctuary.
Unexpectedly, even after seeking refuge in Wanhe Palace, Shen Han dared to come knocking.
Seeing the newcomers, Dean Sixin’s expression grew more serious.
"Half of the Illusion Realm experts of Wanhe Palace are here, plus Hui Taoist and You Wanying..."
Dean Sixin spoke quietly beside Shen Han, her tone extremely serious.
"Brother Xingyuan, do not underestimate this child; he does indeed have some tricks."
The group arrived, and Hui Taoist was the first to speak.
He spoke in defense of Shen Han.
But one can understand, in Qingtian Mountain, his battle with Shen Han ended in a draw.
If Shen Han is criticized, Hui Taoist too, in a sense, would be criticized.
The surrounding people naturally understood this, and Qu Xingyuan, who had spoken earlier, waved dismissively.
"The Southern Heaven Continent holds countless treasures, each with its own extraordinary effects.
I assume, on that day at Qingtian Mountain, he used some mystical treasure.
Hui Taoist, you have mentioned; during combat, his Techniques were at the Peak of the Rainbow-Devouring Realm.
They only managed to withstand your attacks.
If he is willing today, we can test to see if he relies on treasures."
Qu Xingyuan looked at Hui Taoist, and his words clearly supported him.
You Wanying has already consumed those Pills, and her entire being is now under Wanhe Palace’s control.
Though Hui Taoist hasn’t taken anything, being close to You Wanying, he too is accepted by Wanhe Palace.
And as for the two, although You Wanying is controlled by Wanhe Palace, within the sect, she is still granted due respect.
Saying this, Qu Xingyuan approached the front again.
"That extremely talented young man, do you wish to test your skills?"
He was restrained, but in his words, one could still hear a trace of condescension.
Beside him, Dean Sixin wanted to say something, but before she could speak, Shen Han had already stepped forward.
"You Wanying has countless innocent souls in her hands; regardless of who protects her, she must die."
Shen Han spoke directly, without any roundabout way.
Upon hearing this, the people of Wanhe Palace couldn’t help but chuckle.
Even if Shen Han can truly hold his own against Illusion Realm experts, there are so many present.
How can he possibly succeed?
"Some words I advise you consider carefully before speaking, or else it may be difficult for you to leave Wanhe Palace.
This is not Five Immortals City; no one will care about you or respect you here.
If you continue with such threats, I will only presume you intend to oppose Wanhe Palace."
Qu Xingyuan’s tone was full of threat, seemingly attempting to scare Shen Han away.
"There is no need to assume I oppose Wanhe Palace; rather, when you decided to protect You Wanying, you were already opposing us."
Shen Han spoke directly and clearly, without any subtlety or softness.
Upon hearing these words, Qu Xingyuan couldn’t help but laugh aloud.
Turning his head to Dean Sixin beside him.
"Sixin, from his words, it seems he’s suggesting that he and Five Immortals City have already considered us enemies?"
Dean Sixin, put on the spot, was momentarily speechless. She glanced at Shen Han, her expression grim, unsure how to respond.
Five Immortals City by no means wanted to be enemies with Wanhe Palace; although not friendly, they definitely did not wish for enmity.
But she also did not want to displease Shen Han, as Shen Han was crucial to Five Immortals City’s Qilin Valley Pills.
Dean Sixin only felt her head spinning, unsure how to navigate this situation...
Qu Xingyuan clapped his hands, taking steps forward.
"Alright, alright, if we’re enemies then naturally we must face off with blades.
There’s always been talk that you can match Hui Taoist; to be honest, I don’t believe it.
Today is a perfectly good day to test and see just how talented this promising disciple of yours really is."
As he spoke, Qu Xingyuan revealed a massive axe.
The crowd around grew larger, including guests from within Wanhe Palace who also came out to watch.
The onlookers murmured among themselves, abuzz with excitement.
Qu Xingyuan is the son of Wanhe Palace’s Palace Master, and also the youngest Illusion Realm member within the palace.
Many have heard of the stories of Shen Han battling Hui Taoist.
But they hadn’t anticipated having the chance to witness it themselves.
Of course, no one believed Qu Xingyuan would be defeated by Shen Han.
They simply wanted to see whether Shen Han really possessed the ability to hold his own against Illusion Realm without defeat.
