Chapter 892: I Am Just This Arrogant

"That's right, I am just this arrogant." Chen Yu smiled.

Splash—Zou Ziang slid forward again; this time, the water had already reached his neck.

Zou Ziang's face was deathly pale. He felt he could no longer scream. As someone afraid of water, being forced to walk into it uncontrollably—that feeling was something only he could know.

"Chen Yu, let me go!" Zou Ziang roared. His heart was in his throat, for one more step forward and the water might pour into his mouth. This was a method he feared immensely.

"Haha, don't worry, I won't let you die so easily." Chen Yu smiled: "I came just to warn you once. If you go against me, you will meet a miserable end. Zou Ziang, this is the first time. I give you a warning. Next time, you will implicate your entire Zou Family."

After speaking, Chen Yu slowly stood up. He cast a cold glance at Zou Ziang, then turned and left.

Splash—Zou Ziang's expression relaxed. He had finally broken free from Chen Yu's control, but having lost his balance, his foot slipped, and his whole body slid into the water. He could not swim and struggled desperately in the water, but the more he struggled, the deeper he sank.

Fortunately, the last few bodyguards arrived in time and pulled him out of the water. But by now, Zou Ziang had drunk his fill of water and had even choked into unconsciousness. Those beside him performed CPR and drained the water; after a long while, he finally let out a "wah" sound, vomited large mouthfuls of clear water, and slowly woke up.

Jinling, Tiance Sword Mansion.

Tiance Sword Mansion is the pinnacle of Martial Dao Sects. Its three great Elders are all Half-step Dharma Cultivators, and it has over ten disciples in the Martial Ancestor Realm. Its Sect Leader, Duan Tianming, was already a Half-step Dharma Cultivator ten years ago. Now, he has been in seclusion at Tongtian Peak for over ten years, and his realm is unknown.

Just at dawn, as the patrolling disciples reached the main gate of the Sword Mansion, they were struck with horror. They saw a human head hanging prominently in the very center of the Tiance Sword Mansion's gate.

A sharp whistle sounded immediately, followed by the emergency tolling of the Tiance Sword Mansion's Wuming Bell. The hundreds of disciples of Tiance Sword Mansion gathered urgently in that instant.

The Wuming Bell is located directly in front of the main hall of Tiance Sword Mansion. Once it rings, it signifies an emergency.

The last time the Wuming Bell rang was over a hundred years ago. That bloody battle nearly wiped out the entire Tiance Sword Mansion. A century later, the bell rang again, leaving everyone feeling uneasy.

Two Elders, Wang Zhonglou and He Mingshan, arrived at the mountain gate with a group of disciples.

Looking at the head hanging from the Sword Mansion's main gate, they were shocked beyond measure.

"Third Elder..." Someone recognized the head hanging at the sect gate; it was indeed Duan Ziqi, one of the three great Elders. Everyone's face turned deathly pale.

The situation was already very grave. Half an hour later, Duan Ziqi's head was taken down from the gate. Everyone's expression was one of fury, but beneath the anger, there was also a sense of dread.

The reason they were furious was that their Third Elder's head had been severed and hung above their sect; this was a provocation and an insult to the status of Tiance Sword Mansion. Moreover, the Third Elder was an important Deacon in the sect; his murder was a very serious matter.

But what made them dread even more than their anger was that Duan Ziqi was already a Half-step Dharma Cultivator. In this world, who could defeat him? Furthermore, the sect's defenses were strict. The opponent had silently hung the head above the sect and then silently left. How could the ten Martial Ancestor experts and two Half-step Dharma Cultivators in the sect be completely unaware of this?

The opponent's strength was unfathomable, which left everyone shocked.

Wang Zhonglou looked at the letter left above. The more he read, the uglier his expression became.

Finally, he struck the solid wood table in front of him with his palm. With a "chi" sound, the solid wood tea table weighing several hundred pounds was directly vaporized. He roared in rage: "Chen Yu, you go too far!"

"Chen Yu? Is this something Chen Yu did?" He Mingshan was also full of shock.

The people in the sect were no strangers to Chen Yu. After all, during the internal strife of the Martial Alliance in Shengjing last time, Tiance Sword Mansion had intended to take a share and incidentally insert their influence into the Martial Alliance, so that from then on, the Martial Dao of both the north and south would fall under the command of Tiance Mansion.

But who would have thought that the opponent, the newly appointed Martial Alliance Leader, a young man, would actually beat the Half-step Dharma Cultivator Duan Ziqi into a panicked retreat, and Duan Ziqi even had to offer a humiliating apology before he could leave.

This matter made the usually arrogant Tiance Sword Mansion feel it was inconceivable. Beyond the shock, they were even more furious. Their Tiance Sword Mansion had never encountered such a situation before.

Originally, they had planned to find a time to retaliate, but it just so happened that the Zou Clan of Shengjing came to ask them to send someone to deal with Chen Yu, and Duan Ziqi had led people there.

But they never expected that this trip would be his last.

"The letter writes it clearly: Chen Yu, you go too far, killing our Elder, and even demanding we pay respects to a commoner and have everyone kneel and repent." Wang Zhonglou raged: "Does he think Tiance Sword Mansion has no one left?"

"Bastard." He Mingshan, standing to the side, was also furious upon hearing this: "Our Tiance Sword Mansion has stood in Jiangnan for hundreds of years and is now the head of the Xuanwu Pavilion. Does he, Chen Yu, dare to provoke us so blatantly?"

"Chen Yu must die. If he doesn't come here within three days, I will take people to Shengjing myself to find him. By then, the Shengjing Martial Alliance will have no peace." Wang Zhonglou roared.

"Is it necessary to have Senior Brother Sect Leader come out of seclusion for this?" He Mingshan gradually calmed down.

Although Duan Ziqi was the weakest of their three great Elders, his strength had at least reached the level of a Half-step Dharma Cultivator.

But looking at the way he died, he had been wiped out without any ability to fight back. And the opponent had come to their Sword Mansion without anyone knowing, hanging the head within the sect. This level of strength could not be underestimated.

"Senior Brother Sect Leader is currently in the most critical stage of his seclusion. If he advances to the Primordial Qi Realm, our Sword Mansion's strength will rise to a higher level, and even the Tianxin Pavilion of the Snow Region will have to yield to us."

Wang Zhonglou sneered: "This is a great thing for our Sword Mansion. If he is distracted because of this matter, I fear it would be bad."

"That is true, but I always feel that this matter is not right." He Mingshan's brows were slightly locked: "That Chen Yu is not a fool; he naturally knows how strong our Tiance Sword Mansion is."

"But since he knows our Sword Mansion's strength and still dares to provoke our sect like this, is he relying on something? Or is it that he has an expert helping him from behind?"

"Chen Yu is young and successful; he is just an arrogant person." Wang Zhonglou said in a deep voice: "Junior Brother, let it be decided this way. However, we are in troubled times, and our Tiance Sword Mansion cannot afford to be careless."
