Chapter 174: The Great Elder Wants to Kill Su Chen

He was, after all, the dignified Saint Son of the Heavenly Dao Sect; his own woman had actually been taken advantage of by a brat who had just joined the sect.

If this got out, it would leave him, the Saint Son, with no dignity to speak of.

"Wangshu, you must leave quickly!"

Hearing Chu Xiu's threatening words, Bai Zhi's face turned deathly pale.

Although Su Chen had just blocked Chu Xiu's attack, she believed it was merely a stroke of luck; if Chu Xiu were truly determined to fight to the death, Su Chen would certainly die.

She only hoped that Su Chen would not be killed by Chu Xiu because of her.

Moreover, she had already used her Communication Jade Plate at the first opportunity to report the matter to her master, Ji Yueyao, and she figured Ji Yueyao would arrive very soon.

Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Su Chen shook his head gently and said, "Senior Sister Bai Zhi, don't worry. A mere Saint Son is nothing; I will not leave you."

As he spoke, he took Bai Zhi's jade hand and said tenderly, "Senior Sister Bai Zhi, since you are unwilling to marry Chu Xiu, then I have the right to pursue you. Later, we will go to the Sect Master, and I will have the Sect Master cancel the engagement between you and Chu Xiu."

"Mm, thank you, Wangshu."

Upon hearing this, tears welled up in Bai Zhi's beautiful eyes, her heart filled with emotion; she hugged Su Chen tightly, resting her head against his chest with a sweet expression on her pretty face.

Since she was a child, only Ji Yueyao had ever been this good to her; Su Chen was the second person to treat her so well.

"You're courting death!"

Seeing this scene, Chu Xiu's face was filled with rage, his fists clenched until they creaked.

"Swish~"

Chu Xiu flashed in front of Su Chen and Bai Zhi, reaching out with a large hand, intending to snatch Bai Zhi away.

"Hum~"

Just as his large hand was three feet away from Bai Zhi, that Phantom Giant Bell appeared once again, repelling his hand and leaving his arm numb from the vibration.

"What a powerful defensive martial technique!"

Chu Xiu's face twisted as he gritted his teeth, feeling both envious and jealous.

Seeing Chu Xiu's frustrated and angry appearance, a look of disdain appeared on the corner of Su Chen's mouth: "Weren't you going to kill me? Continue then!"

Hearing Su Chen's mockery, Chu Xiu was nearly bursting with rage, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Fine, fine, fine! Don't be happy too soon; when my master arrives, let's see how long you can remain arrogant."

Although Chu Xiu was incensed by Su Chen's insolence, he had not lost his reason, knowing he could not defeat Su Chen.

Furthermore, Bai Zhi was currently nestled in the other's arms; if he were to strike rashly, he might accidentally injure her.

"Heh, then let's just wait here."

Su Chen sneered and ignored Chu Xiu, continuing to stand in place while holding Bai Zhi, comforting the poor girl.

Soon, the commotion from the two's exchange drew nearby Heavenly Dao Sect disciples to watch.

Xiaoxian, along with Lv Luo, Luo Shen, and Su Mei'er, also rushed over.

"Damn, who is that young man in black? He's actually holding the Saintess in his arms right in front of the Saint Son. Am I blind?"

"I guess the sun rose from the west today; this is too explosive. Look, the Saint Son seems to have no way to deal with that young man in black."

"Where did this dark horse pop out from? He snatched the Saintess right out of the Saint Son's hands; he is truly a role model for us all!"

Numerous Heavenly Dao Sect disciples whispered to one another, their gazes converging on the two as they discussed the matter fervently.

Their eyes were filled with surprise, envy, and even worship as they looked at Su Chen.

After all, in the Heavenly Dao Sect, Bai Zhi was the most top-tier peerless beauty among thousands of female disciples, with countless suitors.

It could be said that she was the recognized goddess of the entire Heavenly Dao Sect!

Yet now, the goddess had actually thrown herself into the arms of a strange man; the level of shock was unimaginable.

At this moment, everyone's gaze toward Su Chen was filled with heat.

Only Chu Xiu's expression was extremely ugly.

"Who dares to cause trouble in my Heavenly Dao Sect!"

Just then, an incomparably cold voice suddenly rang out from the void, followed by a terrifying aura that swept across the entire scene.

Subsequently, everyone saw an old man with a full head of white hair flying rapidly toward them, stepping through the void.

This old man was thin and gaunt, with wrinkled skin and a slightly stout frame, and his murky eyes emitted a chilling, intimidating glare.

Based solely on this aura, Su Chen judged that the old man before him was undoubtedly an expert at the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

And behind this old man followed five or six white-robed elders with sharp auras, each possessing the strength of the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

Clearly, they must be the Elders of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

"Greetings to the Elders!"

Seeing these elders appear, the crowd of Heavenly Dao Sect disciples bowed respectfully in succession.

"Saint Son, what exactly is going on here?"

The leading Elder, after seeing the situation below clearly, raised an eyebrow and asked Chu Xiu in confusion.

"Great Elder, it is like this..."

Hearing the white-haired old man's inquiry, Chu Xiu immediately explained what had just happened, point by point.

After listening, the Great Elder frowned, pondered for a moment, and then questioned Su Chen: "Brat, is what the Saint Son said true?"

"Everything that guy Chu Xiu said is true!"

Su Chen stared at the white-haired old man without fear and said indifferently, "However, as long as Senior Sister Bai Zhi is not yet married, I have the right to pursue her."

Having said that, he deliberately pulled Bai Zhi even tighter into his arms.

Seeing this, the Great Elder's face immediately darkened, and he snorted coldly: "Brat, do you really think our Heavenly Dao Sect is some kind of charity house? The engagement between the Saint Son and the Saintess was promised by our Sect Master himself; who do you think you are?"

As he spoke, he suddenly raised his right hand, and a brilliant purple lightning sphere condensed in his palm.

Boom!

Fierce lightning arcs crackled and danced on the surface of the lightning sphere, and the surrounding air instantly became scorching hot.

Looking at that purple lightning sphere, Su Chen frowned slightly, sensing the extremely dangerous fluctuations contained within, and he could not help but be extremely vigilant.

"I ask the Great Elder to calm your anger!"

Seeing this scene, Bai Zhi shielded Su Chen behind her, a look of pleading on her pretty face, "Wangshu and I are in love, and besides, Wangshu is now a disciple of our Heavenly Dao Sect; if he has committed a fault, it should be the Elders of the Law Enforcement Hall who punish him."

Although Bai Zhi's personality was gentle and weak, at critical moments she was very clever, knowing how to use the sect's rules to protect Su Chen.

Hearing these words from Bai Zhi, the Great Elder narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a grim expression, "Saintess, what if this old man is determined to punish this brat?"

Hearing this, Bai Zhi clenched her delicate fists, bit her red lips lightly, and said with a resolute expression, "Great Elder, if you insist on dealing with Wangshu, then step over this Saintess's corpse first."

Seeing this scene, the many Heavenly Dao Sect disciples were all stunned, not daring to speak for a moment.

They were very clear about the Great Elder's temper; once his reverse scale was touched, he would show absolutely no mercy.

Now there is a good show to watch!
