Chen Wu's words fell, and the entire room erupted in uproar.
Their eyes widened in shock.
Each one was filled with disbelief, completely dumbfounded.
Especially Chen Chaoqian and Chen Wei, father and son, who even had veins popping out on their foreheads.
Their true immortal ancestor was actually calling this little brat "senior"?
"Ancestor, are you mistaken?"
"He's just a little servant, a little beast!"
Chen Wei couldn't help but shout.
"Smack!"
Before his voice even faded, a slap landed on his head.That slap sent Chen Wei crashing to the ground, spitting blood and groveling in pain.
Chen Chaoqian's eye twitched at the sight.
Before he could react, he felt Chen Wu's stern, icy gaze land on him.
Chen Chaoqian trembled all over, and then he received a voice transmission from Chen Wu in his mind.
"Why haven't you knelt down yet? Do you want to bring the whole Chen Family to ruin? Do you realize, even you, this piece of trash of yours, he could kill me as easily as snapping his fingers!"
"What?"
Chen Chaoqian's eyes bulged, as if a thunderclap was echoing in his mind.
His scalp tingled with fear.
Despite his disbelief, he dared not question a single word from his ancestor Chen Wu. Almost instantly, his knees gave out, and he knelt on the ground.
The already shocked crowd erupted even more.
First, the Chen Family's ancestor called him "senior."
Then, the head of the Chen Family and the city lord himself knelt on the spot.
All of this proved that this seemingly ordinary disciple, Su Bai, possessed a power and identity that ordinary people couldn't perceive.
And since Chen Wu could see it and even address him as "senior," it meant that Su Bai was at least a true immortal.
None of the people present were fools; on the contrary, they were shrewd. Their minds quickly grasped the situation.
Their legs began to feel weak.
Pale-faced, they began to kneel one after another, trembling as they prostrated themselves.
After all, they hadn't forgotten that just moments ago, they had sided with Chen Chaoqian, mocking Su Bai and helping Chen Chaoqian seize his divine weapon.
Since even Chen Chaoqian had knelt, how could they dare not follow suit?
As for Su's Mother and Su Qianqian, their eyes were wide as saucers, speechlessly shocked. Their bodies trembled violently, their faces filled with disbelief and despair.
"Senior, please take a seat."
Chen Wu's servile voice rang out.
Chen Wu wouldn't dare despise Su Bai because of his young appearance.
In this world where the strong are revered, that's just how it was.
Especially since Su Bai exuded a pressure that made him feel tremendously powerful, a single misstep could bring the annihilation of their family.
However.
When faced with Chen Wu's flattery, Su Bai didn't respond. His cold gaze swept over Chen Chaoqian and the others kneeling on the ground.
"Is this divine sword still yours?"
Su Bai asked coldly, gripping the sword.
The sight of it sent Chen Chaoqian and the others into a fit of trembling, including those who had previously mocked Su Bai alongside Chen Chaoqian.
"Master, spare us."
"Master, spare us, we were wrong."
They prostrated themselves, trembling as they begged for mercy.
Seeing this, Chen Wu's face grew serious.
He could tell from Su Bai's demeanor that if the situation wasn't handled properly, it could be disastrous.
His eyes flickered, and then he grabbed the half-dead Chen Wei off the ground, his palm shrouding him as he performed a soul search.
After all, he hadn't been present before and didn't know the details of what had happened.
Only by understanding the full story could he properly appease Su Bai.
Suddenly.
Every event from Su Bai's arrival to the present unfolded in his mind.
"Fools!"
With a roar, he erupted in anger.
"You blind, ignorant bunch, how dare you covet senior's divine weapon."
After piecing together the events, he glared furiously at Chen Chaoqian, each word a shout: "Especially you, this blind fool..."
Step by step, he approached Chen Chaoqian.
"Ah!"
Ancestor, I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't do it again...
But before he could finish, a sharp burst of vital energy struck, piercing through his abdomen.
His dantian shattered.
He was reduced to a useless person.
"Ah!"
Chen Chaoqian let out a wretched scream, writhing on the ground like a dead dog.
Chen Wu didn't even spare him a glance.
To him, he had countless descendants, anyone could take over the family, but it couldn't be someone as foolish as Chen Chaoqian, who could lead the family to ruin.
Seeing the once-formidable Chen Chaoqian brought low, the others were even more terrified. They were so scared they nearly wet themselves, trembling on the ground.
"As for you worthless fools, sever your own arms and leave your clans forever out of Tianyun City. Step foot here again, and you'll die!"
His cold voice declared the verdict.
The group was struck like lightning, collapsing to the ground.
Their families' countless investments in Tianyun City were instantly voided.
But what could they do? They had picked the wrong side and run into this iron wall.
At least they weren't killed directly. That was already lucky.
"Of course, that includes you."
Then, Chen Wu turned his head to look at the dazed Su's Mother and Su Qianqian.
The two women's faces turned pale as sheets, collapsing on the ground like puddles of mud.
After dealing with these people, Chen Wu approached Su Bai with a flattering smile.
"Senior, are you satisfied?"
Chen Wu said smilingly: "If senior isn't satisfied, I'll kill them all right now."
"Enough."
Su Bai was not that old, and seeing that these people had received their just punishment, he didn't pursue further.
Seeing this, Chen Wu let out a sigh of relief.
Though he appeared calm on the outside, his clothes were drenched in cold sweat.
Fortunately, he had finally appeased Su Bai.
Su Bai glanced around and lost interest, preparing to leave.
"Su Bai, wait..."
At that moment, Su's Mother dragged Su Qianqian, hurrying over and shouting: "Su Bai, please help us beg for mercy, we don't want to leave Tianyun City!"
"We've been here for so many years, built so much, if we leave, all our years of effort will be for nothing!"
Su Bai glanced at them, not even bothering to respond.
Seeing their reaction, Su's Mother quickly chased after him, grabbing his clothes and shouting: "Su Bai, you can't be so heartless. Qianqian was your childhood sweetheart!"
"Childhood sweetheart?"
Su Bai looked at them, smiling: "If she was my childhood sweetheart, why did you betray me, why mock and ridicule me?"
"Oh, that wasn't our fault, I just didn't know you were so powerful!" Su's Mother shrieked hysterically: "If I had known, I would have married Qianqian to you long ago."
At that, she seemed to think of something, quickly shouting again: "You still love Qianqian, right? Now, I'll arrange for her to marry you."
"Qianqian, hurry, show your attitude, quickly say you still love him."
Su Qianqian was dragged over by Su's Mother.
But before she could speak, Su Bai waved his hand to stop her.
"Don't waste my time with lies."
Su Bai spoke plainly: "There's no point in playing those pretend games, from the beginning, we had no connection."
Although you are a snob, you're not entirely evil. For old times' sake, don't sever your arm...
At that, he turned to Chen Wu and said: "As for the rest, handle it as you see fit."
With that, Su Bai completely ignored the pulling of Su's Mother and daughter and walked out the door.
"Oh Senior, why leave so soon."
"Stay for a meal."
"Please, don't leave."
"Senior, let me escort you."
Chen Wu followed like a bootlicker.
Seeing the two walk out of the hall, not even glancing at them, Su's Mother and daughter collapsed onto the ground like lumps of mud. Their faces were as pale as paper, their hearts filled with regret.
Even if they didn't know why Su Bai had such power, if only they hadn't betrayed him, perhaps today their situation would be different...
However, there was no medicine for regret in the world.
…
As Su Bai and Chen Wu walked out together, no matter how hard Chen Wu tried to persuade Su Bai to stay, Su Bai showed no intention of lingering. His mind was already on getting back to prepare something for Yi Feng.
However.
Just as he was about to leave, a peculiar fluctuation caught Su Bai's attention.
His steps paused involuntarily.
"Senior, is something wrong?"
Chen Wu almost bumped into Su Bai from behind and quickly took a step forward, asking, "Is this the aura of a beast?"
Su Bai tilted his head and asked, "Yes, it's the Seven-Colored Spirit Baby of a friend. Due to some issues, it's been temporarily placed with me. Senior, you truly are a senior—to perceive this, you are indeed extraordinary!" Chen Wu continued to heap praise.
However, upon hearing about the Seven-Colored Spirit Baby, Su Bai's slightly youthful face broke into a smile.
The Seven-Colored Spirit Baby.
What a treasure.
It's a rather peculiar beast. Though its power isn't particularly high, it's a rare find.
And he had been thinking about what fresh delicacy to offer to their elder. Lo and behold, it had arrived.
