Chapter 1646: A Confrontation Between Quasi-Emperors

Old Practitioner Qiu coldly retorted, “I’m not here to argue with you. If you insist on stopping me, then don’t blame this old man for being impolite.”

In short, he had come with zero intention of being reasonable!

The faces of Ling Xiaozi, Shun Ji, and the rest of their group sank, while Underworld Son laughed smugly as he stood on the chariot.

So what if I’m borrowing someone else’s might?

As long as I can get my revenge, who cares?

You’re welcome to do the same and call for backup if you have that ability!

“Make way!” Old Practitioner Qiu’s voice was icy. He had uttered only two words, but the might in them was overwhelming.

There was a difference in strength even among quasi-Emperors. An example was Gu Liangqu, who could already be considered the number one expert in the Great Emperor Pass.

For Old Practitioner Qiu’s battle prowess to be ranked among the top ten here, his might was naturally not simple.

His dominant attitude caused the expressions of the old experts to drop again.

He was more than just uncompromising; he had been disregarding them completely!

Shun Ji flew into a rage. “Is this your deal, refusing to listen to reason and bullying people with your power? Fine! If you want to fight, then I’ll play with you!”

Boom!

Old Practitioner Qiu waved his sleeve the moment he heard those words. The region instantly trembled and dimmed as a matchless blade light swept down from the sky.

He had made his move out of the blue and without uttering a word, as if replying: If you want a fight, then you shall have it!

In the deafening rumbles, Shun Ji suddenly swayed and staggered several steps back. Along every step, the void around him shattered violently.

When he finally stabilized himself, his face had turned pale.

To think that a single strike could be so terrifying!

The crowd of old monsters all paled. It finally became apparent to them that Old Practitioner Qiu was determined to deal with Lin Xun to the point that he wouldn’t even give Shun Ji face.

“Again!” Shun Ji was livid.

But as he was about to rush up, Ling Xiaozi stopped him. “You’re not his opponent. Let me.”

Ling Xiaozi strode forward, his expression unperturbed like a still well. Looking Old Practitioner Qiu in the eyes, he said expressionlessly, “The Great Emperor Pass prohibits infighting, but if you really intend to disregard everything, Elder Qiu, then I will satisfy you.”

Old Practitioner Qiu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “Ling Xiaozi, you know that I’m not here to make an enemy out of you all. As long as you hand over Lin Xun, I will leave immediately.”

Ling Xiaozi was the number one dao rune founder of the Great Emperor Pass with numerous outstanding achievements over the recent years. While his battle strength was mediocre, he was an indispensable and important asset.

Even Gu Liangqu had to be courteous to him!

“Delusional!” Ling Xiaozi did not budge.

“Old man, are you really intending to oppose us?” shouted Underworld Son who couldn’t stand it anymore.

Hearing this, the faces of Shun Ji and Madam Mu grew unsightly. This junior thinks he can speak rudely and offend his elders just because he has Old Practitioner Qiu for a backer?

Old Practitioner Qiu also frowned. He reprimanded Underworld Son, “Ling Xiaozi is a senior of the Great Emperor Pass who has poured in his effort and made great contributions. Do not be rude to him.”

Then, he turned to Ling Xiaozi and said, “I’ve come here this time at Lord Gu Liangqu’s behest. You will be dismissing his lordship’s authority if you insist on blocking my way.”

Saying that, he took out a token made of ink jade. “If you don’t believe me, then take a look at this.”

Buzz~

The token glowed and cast a tall figure dressed in hemp clothes. He had long, loose hair. His face was ancient and resolute, and his eyes were as deep and vast as the ocean.

Everyone’s gaze froze. This man was none other than the number one expert of the Great Emperor Pass, Gu Liangqu!

Clatter~

Gu Liangqu’s image disappeared as Old Practitioner Qiu put away the token.

The faces of Ling Xiaozi’s group were gloomy to the extreme.

In order to deal with a junior, not only had Old Practitioner Qiu been mobilized, but even Gu Liangqu had also stepped in. This was clearly bullying!

The atmosphere was oppressive.

They had not expected that Gu Liangqu, who was regarded as the number one authority, would give out his token for such a trivial matter.

“Heh.” Underworld Son scoffed.

All of this had been within his expectations. He knew that with these old monsters around, dealing with Lin Xun would be difficult even with the help of Old Practitioner Qiu.

That was why he had gone to great lengths to ask for a token from Gu Liangqu, so that he could deter these old fossils from sheltering Lin Xun!

“Where is Lin Xun? Get out here!”

Old Practitioner Qiu suddenly let out a loud roar. His voice thundered through the nine layers of clouds and stirred the atmosphere all around as it reverberated endlessly.

For a moment, many old monsters stationed in the huge Sun Pass were alarmed.

Ling Xiaozi said angrily, “Elder Qiu, you’ve gone too far! Even if Gu Liangqu himself came here, he wouldn’t dare to act as recklessly as you are!”

The others were also enraged. Their faces were like dark rain clouds.

But Old Practitioner Qiu was nonchalant. “This old manis merely following orders. If I have somehow offended you today, then I will definitely make up for it later.”

“Lin Xun, are you a shrinking turtle? Hurry up and show yourself!” yelled Underworld Son fearlessly like no one else was here, not caring at all about the fury of Ling Xiaozi’s group.

Instantly, more and more powerful spirit senses in the Sun Pass were directed to their area.

“Elder Qiu!” Ling Xiaozi was completely enraged, his beard and hair flying as he pointed at Old Practitioner Qiu. “With me here today, I’d like to see who dares to harm our little friend Lin Xun!”

Shun Ji and Madam Mu nodded in unison.

They all knew about the grudge between Underworld Son and Lin Xun, which was entirely a battle between the juniors.

Yet, Old Practitioner Qiu had barged in here shamelessly to deal with Lin Xun right under their noses. How could they possibly tolerate it?

Old Practitioner Qiu couldn’t help but frown. He hadn’t expected that these old guys would be so persistent.

As far as he was concerned, Lin Xun was only a junior who had just arrived at the Great Emperor Pass. He was not a direct descendant of any major power, nor was he related to Ling Xiaozi, Shun Ji, and the others.

Dealing with such a junior was supposed to be an easy task, but who would have thought that he would encounter so many obstacles?

After some silence, Old Practitioner Qiu said, “Rest assured, everyone, I will not take Lin Xun’s life. As long as he hands over the treasures that he has robbed of Underworld Son and apologizes, I can let the matter go.”

This was already his concession!

Underworld Son, however, was displeased. “I want Lin Xun dead! If I let him live, where will my reputation end up?!”

Old Practitioner Qiu quickly transmitted to him, “Don’t worry, there will be plenty of chances in the future. I just didn’t think that these old fossils would be so biased toward a junior. If we offend them, today’s matter will definitely become a big deal, and the consequences will not be good for anyone.”

Underworld Son’s expression flickered. After a long time, he clenched his jaw and said, “Alright, I’ll take a step back, but only if Lin Xun apologizes on his knees!”

Old Practitioner Qiu immediately agreed.

It was too easy to make a junior kneel as it needed only a single thought to suppress him to the ground.

Upon hearing Old Practitioner Qiu’s proposal, Ling Xiaozi’s group grew more and more annoyed. Handing over the loot was fine, but asking Lin Xun to apologize?

How could there be such a ridiculous thing in this world?

Swish!

It was at this moment that a teleportation light suddenly appeared and cut through the air as it approached.

Upon looking closely, it was Lin Xun!

Earlier while he was meditating in the palace, Old Practitioner Qiu’s voice had woken him.

Immediately after, he heard Underworld Son’s loud voice that was filled with complacency and resentment, which had allowed him to recognize who it was in an instant.

The Treasure Delivery Boy had come to take revenge!

This was the Sun Pass where a large number of old monsters were stationed, so since Underworld Son dared to make a ruckus like that without fear, he certainly had something to rely on.

Almost without any thought, Lin Xun decided to take the initiative to strike first.

He didn’t want Ling Xiaozi, Shun Ji, and the others to be implicated in this matter, which was after all a grudge between him and Underworld Son.

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before Lin Xun had seen the Green Dipper Chariot arrive from afar, as well as Old Practitioner Qiu and Underworld Son standing loftily on it.

“Lin Xun, you finally rear your head!” The moment Underworld Son saw Lin Xun, all the past grudges and hatred surfaced in his heart, and his face turned hideous as he shouted, “This time, no one can save you!”

“Little friend, how could you be so rash?!” Ling Xiaozi, Shun Ji, Madam Mu, on the other hand, were anxious when they saw Lin Xun.

If he had kept hiding, they could still put up resistance, but now…

There was no more room for other maneuvers!

“Seniors, this matter was started by me, so it naturally should be resolved by me.” Lin Xun smiled calmly. “I’m very grateful for your kindness, but this time, please just stand by and watch.”

The crowd was stunned.

Madam Mu was agitated. She angrily said, “Little friend, what do you take us for? If we let you be bullied here in the Sun Pass, wouldn’t it be a slap in our faces?”

The others also nodded.

Suddenly, Old Practitioner Qiu burst out laughing. “Let’s not flatter yourselves. Since this young man dares to come forward, I can say he is a responsible person, and for that, I won’t make things difficult for him. As I have said before, if he gives back the treasures and apologizes to Underworld Son, everything will be forgiven!”

Then, his eyes flashed like electricity as they locked on Lin Xun. “What do you say, little fellow?”

“Heh.” Lin Xun sneered. “If you ask me, each of the two of you are more contemptible than the other. If you want to leave here alive, then you better ease up on that attitude, else you will be crying for mercy when I subdue you later on.”

Shun Ji’s group was dumbfounded. Has this kid been pushed over the edge and no longer has any regard for his life?

On the other hand, Underworld Son’s face darkened with fury, and the veins on his forehead bulged as he said to Old Practitioner Qiu, “As you can see, Senior, this scumbag is unrepentant even at the end of his life. If we don’t kill him today, then when?”

“He is rampant indeed!” Old Practitioner Qiu’s face was icy cold. Being disrespected by a junior in a way no different from being pointed and cursed at in the face, even he was seething with rage.

How many years had it been when this had last happened?

Any average quasi-Emperor would be utterly respectful as soon as they saw him! But now, a mere junior dared to challenge his dignity head on. He was clearly begging to die!

Boom!

A horrifying aura surged out from Old Practitioner Qiu and spread in all directions.

A Saint’s anger was enough to cause a river of blood, not to mention a quasi-Emperor’s!

In an instant, heaven and earth lost color
