Chapter 539: The Immortal Venerable humiliated to this point by a mortal! (Seeking

"No, Senior's guidance is far higher than the value brought by this spiritual treasure; please, Senior, you must accept it!" Yunhe is resolute.

"Yes, Senior's kindness to Yunhe and me is like a rebirth; how can external objects compare!" Yue Shuang's voice comes from outside the hall.

"I appreciate the good intention, but spiritual artifacts are no different from scrap iron to me." Li Chen shakes his head slightly.

Yue Shuang's eyes turn red in an instant; there aren't many spiritual artifacts even in the Gui Xu Wu Ya Sect. How could Li Chen not look down on them? This clearly means he doesn't want to take their opportunity!

I'm crying to death; what kind of bearing is this?

What Jun Zhantian, what proud talent, what elder—they simply can't compare to even one of Li Chen's fingers!

"Senior, could you tell us your name?" Yunhe clenches his fists, secretly swearing in his heart that when he has enough strength, he must repay it a hundredfold.

"Li Chen." Li Chen says casually.

As soon as these words are spoken, Yue Shuang bows slightly, feeling the name is familiar but unable to remember it for a moment. Yunhe, however, has a great change in complexion, his pupils shrink suddenly, and his lips start to tremble slightly.

"Li... Li Chen?" Yunhe's voice changes tone; Li Imperial clan... Sage Realm... Tian Ce Dynasty... these are all keywords.

He suddenly feels his knees go soft and kneels heavily on the ground, his forehead pressed tightly against the ground: "Commoner Yunhe, greets Your Majesty! Long live, long live, long live my Emperor!"

If it were an ordinary emperor, he could not kneel, but this one is a Sage Realm emperor.

Yue Shuang is stunned at first, then reacts, her pretty face turning pale instantly.

She follows and kneels down in a panic, her voice trembling: "Commoner Yue Shuang greets Your Majesty! I have offended you previously; please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

At this moment, she wishes she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into; she was actually so presumptuous in front of the Emperor just now!

Li Chen waves his hand casually: "No matter, get up; cultivate well, the future of Tian Ce belongs to you."

His voice is gentle but carries unquestionable majesty.

After speaking, he turns and leaves, the black dragon robe fluttering behind him, leaving behind a majestic and upright back.

Sunlight shines obliquely into the hall door, plating his outline with a layer of gold, as if a god had descended to earth.

Yunhe and Yue Shuang kneel in place for a long time, their eyes moist.

Yunhe says with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty actually personally led us to train... and bestowed such precious opportunities upon us..."

Yue Shuang is even more tearful: "What virtue or ability do we have... that is the Emperor at the peak of the Sage Realm!"

She remembers her previous thoughts of not knowing the height of heaven and the depth of earth and wishes she could slap herself twice.

The two exchange glances, both seeing firm determination in each other's eyes.

Yunhe clenches his fists: "After we go back, I must go to the Imperial court to seek fame! I will serve Your Majesty with everything I have learned in my life!"

"Me too!" Yue Shuang wipes away her tears, "Although the Gui Xu Wu Ya Sect is good, being able to serve Your Majesty is the true glory!"

At this moment, the two proud talents of the hidden sects are completely conquered.

They finally understand why Fairy Shu Yu would be so close to this "young man"—that is the current Son of Heaven!

At the same time, Li Chen has already returned to the main hall.

The sky is getting late, and the sunset's afterglow spills through the glazed tiles on the roof of the hall, dyeing the entire hall gold.

Immortal Venerable Taixing's projection is still floating in place, and seeing Li Chen return, he immediately casts a resentful gaze.

Li Chen sneers, "What are you looking at? Watch the door well, don't let others disturb my interest. There will be a big battle tonight."

Immortal Venerable Taixing's projection is so angry he is almost about to collapse: "Putting on airs! Seeing your unsteady footsteps, I'm afraid you can't even last three seconds!"

Li Chen smiles noncommittally and walks straight into the inner hall.

Tonight, he deliberately didn't open the sound-insulating barrier, only setting a restriction on Immortal Venerable Taixing's mouth, letting him only listen but not speak.

Thus, this poor Immortal Venerable projection is forced to listen to the battle situation for a whole night.

The sound is sometimes like a storm, sometimes like a trickling stream, sometimes high and impassioned, sometimes low and turning... it is simply more torturous than the cruelest punishment.

Early the next morning, Li Chen pushes the door out feeling refreshed, looks at Immortal Venerable Taixing, who is almost about to collapse, and teases: "How is it? Was last night's 'performance' exciting?"

Immortal Venerable Taixing grits his teeth and says stubbornly: "It was just some small tricks to release sound effects; it's not worth mentioning!"

Li Chen raises an eyebrow: "Oh? It seems last night's 'performance' wasn't intuitive enough." ===== CHAPTER 540 =====
