Chapter 466: One Finger Suppresses the Shadow, Heavenly Dragon and Heavenly Sword Fearful as Mice

The pressure on Vice Hall Master White Wolf and Vice Hall Master Azure Dragon lessened; all those people abandoned their attacks and collectively withdrew to the side. The two hurried over to stand behind Jing Yuheng and the others, and the remaining Black Dragon Guards did the same—only about thirty Black Dragon Guards were left, most having died in battle.

The people from those families were the same; many died, and their casualties were even greater, more than three times those of the Black Dragon Guards.

Her Highness the Eldest Princess was heartbroken—those were all subordinates she had personally trained, and most of the people who came with her were dead. Of those who remained, few had barely survived; if the fighting continued, all of them might die here.

Sima Da and his people had come overly prepared, having long been ready. Their original goal was to replace the Qi Family and seize control of the Great Qi Dynasty.

Meeting their stubborn resistance, given just a little more time, the Eldest Princess's defeat was inevitable—they could not possibly win.

Victory had been in sight, yet an unexpected turn occurred.

How could Sima Da give up? He stared at Chen Chuyang, completely ignoring the Shadow Grand Elder.

The Shadow Grand Elder hid far away, not wanting to be targeted by Chen Chuyang, nor wanting to fight this person. From beside this person, a Zhuge Ruolan had stepped out, and the instant the Shadow Grand Elder saw Zhuge Ruolan, he understood that they were together.

In his heart, he had long wanted to flee, but he knew he could not act recklessly now.

Once he left, Chen Chuyang would not hesitate to make a move on him—the nail that sticks out gets hammered down. He had not fled with the State Preceptor earlier, and now it was too late.

"Zhuge Ruolan, Chen Chuyang—they really are together. With this woman here, given their relationship, he definitely won't…"

The Shadow Grand Elder was deeply wary in his heart, waiting for an opportunity to distance himself from Wangdu.

This internal strife, having reached this point, was essentially over. From the moment this person appeared, the State Preceptor was scared off, Mu Longhao left, and the other old monsters departed one after another.

As for him, he wanted to leave, but quite a few people had their eyes on him.

Zhuge Ruolan would not let him leave easily, and the Yin Killer Holy Son was still there, watching him.

And outside, Yin Gui Zhenren might also be present—Chen Chuyang had arrived, so Yin Gui Zhenren should have come too, merely hiding.

"To withdraw unscathed won't be easy."

The Shadow Grand Elder prayed inwardly that Chen Chuyang's first target would not be him, but rather Sima Da and his people.

Zhuge Ruolan stared at the Shadow Grand Elder and said in a deep voice, "Chen Chuyang, that is the Shadow Grand Elder."

Chen Chuyang raised his brows and looked at the Shadow Grand Elder, memorizing the aura on his body.

The Shadow Grand Elder's entire body went cold. He gulped, staring at Chen Chuyang, terrified that he would make a move.

That gaze—just a single gaze—made the Shadow Grand Elder not dare to move.

His entire body of ghostly Qi shrank back in fright.

"The Shadow Grand Elder? Since you've come, then stay."

He reached out and grasped.

The Grand Elder only felt the surrounding space, his ghostly Qi, all of his power, being gripped.

Unable to breathe, unable to break free.

His expression changed, turning pitch-black.

That sense of powerlessness brought him back to the time before he had ever cultivated, the same powerlessness he had felt when facing cultivators.

At this moment, he was but an ant.

"Damn it."

That right hand was terrifying, sealing off the surroundings.

It drew closer and closer; he had to leave early.

Once caught, life and death would no longer be his to decide.

"Shadow Escape Art."

The Shadow Grand Elder bit through his tongue, smeared his hands with blood, and rapidly formed hand seals.

His body transformed into shadow, merging into the darkness.

Using the shadow to escape, his speed was like a phantom.

Chen Chuyang's hand grasped empty air.

"Hm?"

"An escape divine ability—not bad. A divine ability cast by expending essence blood, sacrificing one-third of his essence blood—very decisive."

He admired inwardly; an old monster like this knew how to choose. Essence blood was nothing—if lost, it could be replenished again, but once caught, it would be over.

Another ruthless one—old monsters who had cultivated to this realm were no fools.

Weighing the pros and cons, they abandoned what should be abandoned.

"I'm not in the mood to hunt you down right now, however."

Chen Chuyang smiled and tapped his right finger into the void.

A hundred miles away, the Shadow Grand Elder's body had just reformed when his entire being jolted.

A finger tapped his abdomen, and his entire person was blasted flying over a thousand meters, then crashed into a mountain peak.

"Boom—"

The mountain peak collapsed, burying the Shadow Grand Elder.

Chen Chuyang withdrew his finger and shook his head: "Runs really fast. Survived one finger from me and still didn't die—the Shadow Grand Elder has got something."

"Zhuge Ruolan, he's already heavily injured. Next, you know what to do?"

Zhuge Ruolan cupped her fists: "Leave the rest to me."

Zhuge Ruolan turned and gave chase—she was not one to do nothing, pursuing him as she went.

Seeing this, the Yin Killer Holy Son hesitated for a moment, wary that Chen Chuyang would make a move on him, and departed cautiously. Once he left Wangdu, he breathed a sigh of relief and followed after Zhuge Ruolan.

Inside and outside Wangdu, quite a few people were gone.

Outside Wangdu.

Tianlian Zhenren and the others stopped, not entering Wangdu.

They had seen the scene of Chen Chuyang making his move, and the three exchanged glances.

"This person?" The Heavenly Dragon Daoist frowned, his brow twitching wildly.

Wangdu is dangerous, not suitable to enter.

Tianjian Daoist also fell silent now, staring at the Shadow Grand Elder fleeing at the horizon, he recognized him.

"The Shadow Grand Elder of Yin Gui Sect, one move, heavily injured near death, who is he?"

Tianlian Zhenren was also frightened, Chen Chuyang's power again shocked her; facing this finger, to be honest, she could not block it.

"Tianlong senior brother, Tianjian senior brother, he is Chen Chuyang."

"What!"

"Junior sister, is he really Chen Chuyang?"

Tianlong Daoist and Tianjian Daoist could not remain calm; they stared at Tianlian Zhenren, their eyes filled with shock.

That move, they also could not resist.

Not dead, still heavily injured.

If that person is Chen Chuyang, then isn't that...?

"Yes, it's him, Chen Chuyang of Longshe Shan, it's him who saved me."

Tianlong Daoist fell silent.

Tianjian Daoist opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but finally closed his mouth.

The two exchanged a glance, then took a deep look at Chen Chuyang inside Wangdu, deeply remembering this person.

They simultaneously left Wangdu, no longer having any thoughts.

The Qi Family affair is no longer something they can intervene in.

This matter, they are powerless.

Tianlian Zhenren silently followed; she knew the two senior brothers had been struck, as she herself once was.

Being deeply struck, thus...

Chen Chuyang turned his head, looking outside Wangdu; naturally he knew of Tianlian Zhenren's arrival—these people, having arrived outside Wangdu, turned back and left.

"Do they also want to leave?"

They hadn't even entered yet, and they already ran off—too... disrespectful to him.

Having come, not leaving any treasure, it's unreasonable.
