Chapter 409: Venerable’s Fury, True Person Ziyang

Yun Xiaotian's Face turned pale.

"You… you can't kill me…"

"I am a True Disciple…"

"My Master is Venerable Yun…"

"If you dare to kill me…"

"My Master will not let you off…"

Zhou Chen sneered, "Don't worry, I won't kill you."

"After all, killing someone within the Sect is a serious crime."

"However…"

He raised his hand and slapped Yun Xiaotian's Dantian.

Crack—

Yun Xiaotian's Dantian was instantly shattered, and Spiritual Qi sizzled as it leaked out from his body.

His cultivation also dropped from Quasi-Immortal Realm Fifth Layer to quasi-immortal realm third layer.

"Ah—"

Yun Xiaotian let out a tragic scream.

Zhou Chen retracted his hand and lifted the spatial blockade.

"Senior Brother Yun, just a small lesson for you."

"If you dare to cause me trouble again…"

A hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes: "Next time, it won't be as simple as just shattering your Dantian."

With that, he turned and returned to his Immortal Cave.

Yun Xiaotian lay on the ground, his eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness.

"Zhou Chen…"

"I will kill you…"

"I must kill you…"

He struggled to stand up and staggered away from Zhou Chen's Immortal Cave.

It should be noted that although a shattered Dantian in the Spirit Realm could be repaired, the cost of repair was high, and it was difficult to restore it to its original level.

It must be said that if he weren't weaker, Yun Xiaotian would have wanted to kill Zhou Chen at this moment.

Yun Xiaotian returned to the True Disciple area and immediately contacted Venerable Yun.

Soon after.

A terrifying aura descended upon the Zixia Sect.

Venerable Yun, a First Layer of True Immortal Realm Cultivator, was a Guest Elder of the Zixia Sect.

When he saw Yun Xiaotian's miserable state, his Face turned terrifyingly dark.

"Xiaotian, who hurt you?"

Venerable Yun asked in a deep voice.

"Master…"

Yun Xiaotian gritted his teeth: "It's Zhou Chen!"

"That newly promoted Inner Sect Disciple!"

"He snatched my reserved Breakthrough Pill and even shattered my Dantian…"

"Master…"

He knelt on the ground: "Please, Master, uphold justice for your Disciple!"

A hint of killing intent flashed in Venerable Yun's eyes.

"Zhou Chen…"

"How audacious."

"How dare he hurt my Disciple."

"It seems…"

A cold light flashed in his eyes: "It's time to teach this ignorant Junior a lesson."

Zixia Sect, Inner Sect area.

After Zhou Chen returned to his Immortal Cave, he did not relax his vigilance.

He knew that Yun Xiaotian had Venerable Yun backing him.

Given Venerable Yun's protective nature, he would certainly not let the matter rest.

So he had already sent a message to the Sect's higher-ups, explaining the whole story.

Just then, the sky suddenly darkened.

A terrifying pressure enveloped the entire Inner Sect area.

This was the pressure of a True Immortal Realm expert.

Zhou Chen's expression changed.

"He's here…"

He walked out of his Immortal Cave and looked up at the sky.

A grey-robed old man was suspended in mid-air.

He was Venerable Yun, a First Layer of True Immortal Realm Cultivator, with an unfathomable aura.

"Zhou Chen."

Venerable Yun's voice, like thunder, echoed throughout the entire Inner Sect area.

"You injured my Disciple and snatched his Breakthrough Pill."

"Today…"

A hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes: "This old man will make you pay with your blood!"

Zhou Chen took a deep breath and calmly said, "Senior Yun, this Junior doesn't understand what you're saying."

"The Breakthrough Pill was a mission reward, obtained by this Junior after completing the mission, which is perfectly reasonable."

"As for Senior Brother Yun…"

He paused: "He was the one who came to trouble this Junior first; this Junior merely acted in self-defense."

"Moreover…"

Zhou Chen looked at Venerable Yun: "This Junior has already shown mercy, only shattering his Dantian and not taking his life."

"According to Sect rules, this Junior has not violated any regulations."

Venerable Yun sneered: "Sect rules?"

"This old man is the rule!"

"In the Zixia Sect, what this old man says is the will of heaven!"

"You injured my Disciple, which means you're disrespecting this old man."

"Today…"

He raised his hand and struck a palm towards Zhou Chen: "This old man will let you know the consequences of offending me!"

Boom—

Terrifying palm force descended from the sky, containing the power to destroy everything.

Zhou Chen's Face changed drastically.

The attack of a First Layer of True Immortal Realm expert was something he simply couldn't contend with.

"chaos bell—appear!"

Zhou Chen activated the chaos bell, and it transformed into a golden light, blocking above his head.

Clang—

The palm force struck the chaos bell, emitting a deafening roar.

The chaos bell vibrated violently, but ultimately blocked the palm strike.

Venerable Yun frowned.

"What Magic Treasure is this?"

"No…"

He carefully sensed the aura of the chaos bell, and a hint of shock flashed in his eyes: "This is… an Immortal Rank Magic Treasure containing a trace of Chaos Qi?"

"How can a Junior at quasi-immortal realm third layer possess such an Immortal Rank Magic Treasure?"

Zhou Chen did not answer.

The chaos bell was one of his biggest trump cards; he absolutely couldn't reveal too much information.

A hint of greed flashed in Venerable Yun's eyes.

"It seems you have many secrets…"

"But it doesn't matter…"

"Once this old man kills you, all these secrets will be mine."

He attacked again, this time with even greater power.

"Cloud Sky World Annihilation!"

Terrifying palm force descended from the sky, containing world-destroying power.

This palm strike was enough to kill hundreds of Cultivators at the tenth layer of Quasi-Immortal Realm.

Zhou Chen gritted his teeth, desperately activating the chaos bell, while also preparing to pull out that section of Immortal's arm bone.

But just then, an even more terrifying pressure descended.

"Stop!"

A majestic voice echoed through the heavens and earth.

True Person Ziyang's figure suddenly appeared before Zhou Chen.

He waved his hand, and a purple light shot into the sky, neutralizing Venerable Yun's palm force.

Boom—

The collision of two True Immortal Realm powers erupted with terrifying energy fluctuations.

However, True Person Ziyang's cultivation was higher, at the third layer of True Immortal Realm.

Venerable Yun was no match at all.

"Venerable Yun."

True Person Ziyang said coldly: "As a Guest Elder of the Sect, you actually attacked a Disciple within the Sect?"

"Are you trying to violate Sect rules?"

Venerable Yun's Face darkened: "Fellow Daoist Ziyang, what do you mean?"

"This brat injured my Disciple; is it wrong for me to avenge my Disciple?"

True Person Ziyang shook his head: "The conflict between Yun Xiaotian and Zhou Chen is a personal grievance."

"Moreover, Zhou Chen already showed mercy and did not take Yun Xiaotian's life."

"According to Sect rules, Zhou Chen has not violated any regulations."

"If you insist on attacking him…"

A hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes: "You will be an enemy of the Sect."

Venerable Yun gritted his teeth.

He knew that True Person Ziyang was telling the truth.

Sect rules clearly stipulated that elders should not interfere in personal grievances between Disciples.

Only if a Disciple was killed could revenge be sought.

But Yun Xiaotian was only injured, not dead.

Therefore, Venerable Yun's action indeed violated Sect rules.

"Good… very good…"

Venerable Yun took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart: "Since that's the case, this old man will spare his life for now."

"But…"

He looked at Zhou Chen, his eyes filled with killing intent: "Brat, you'd better pray you never leave the Sect."

"Otherwise…"

"This old man will make your life worse than death!"

With that, he turned and left.
