Chapter 240: 240. You Pretty Boy

240. Chapter 240: You Pretty Boy

Gu Feiyang sneered inwardly at the Second Elder's sanctimonious appearance, but since he needed something from him, he pretended to be all smiles and fully supportive.

Zhao Yangyao couldn't help but mutter to himself; the two of them had been speaking in riddles the whole time, and just when he finally understood, they were still coveting the person he had his eyes on.

Although he was interested in Lv Luo, what did a woman matter in the face of power? If this one didn't work out, there would surely be others.

……

Su Chen let everyone rest for a good long while before they began to continue scavenging for treasures in the Secret Realm.

The great fortuitous encounter had already been obtained, and while the rest were precious, they were not exactly earth-shattering.

However, for the disciples of the Qingyun Alliance, these were all quite good things.

After all, when they were previously following the Second Elder and his group, they were the ones who had to do the manual labor of fighting monsters and attracting enemies.

The three of them only needed to stand by and give orders, yet when it came time to reap the rewards, they took eighty percent, leaving the disciples with only the smallest portion.

Before, they hadn't felt anything was wrong, always thinking that as members of the sect with not-so-high cultivation, it was only natural to pay a price under the protection of an Elder.

But when they were with Su Chen, Su Chen would help handle things; not only was their workload lighter than before, but they also received more items.

There is no harm without comparison; they were now incredibly glad they had chosen to follow Su Chen.

Likewise, they resented the Second Elder even more for abandoning them at the moment of crisis.

Furthermore, when attacking the Purple Qilin, it was these low-cultivation disciples who had to lead the charge.

It could be said that they were used whenever needed and tossed aside regardless of whether they lived or died when not.

The time until the Secret Realm closed reached its final day; everyone's harvest was plentiful, their faces beaming with enthusiastic smiles, and Su Chen had unknowingly become the backbone among them.

However, it was a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road; they actually ran into the Second Elder's group here.

The Second Elder had been searching for Su Chen's tracks these past few days, just waiting to find him and silence him, leaving no evidence behind.

But there were only the three of them, and the Second Elder was already injured and would basically not make a move unless necessary, so life was not easy for Gu Feiyang and Zhao Yangyao.

Without the cannon-fodder disciples to lead the way, they had to do all the tiring work themselves.

Now, seeing Su Chen standing there perfectly fine, surrounded by disciples and looking so glorious—even those disciples whose status was inferior to theirs were all looking spirited—it formed a stark contrast to their own disheveled state.

"What are you all standing over there for? Hurry up and come over! Why are you messing around with someone from an outside sect!"

Pan Feichi immediately assumed his posture as Second Elder and angrily rebuked them.

He had expected those disciples to come over sheepishly as before, but to his surprise, they all stood their ground and looked at each other, none of them taking a step forward.

"Are you all trying to rebel?"

Zhao Yangyao also couldn't help but clamor.

He had had enough of doing manual labor these past few days; now that he saw these people as if they were his saviors, he was immediately impatient to have them return.

Pan Feiyang sensed that the situation was not right; he squinted at them, his gaze sweeping over Lv Luo and Liu Ruyan.

Lv Luo and Liu Ruyan felt Gu Feiyang's sticky gaze; Lv Luo was the first to lose her patience and glared fiercely at him, while Liu Ruyan's expression was unpleasant, though she didn't react otherwise.

Su Chen sneered; he hadn't expected that after so long, they would start coveting his woman. They really were choosing the hard way over the easy way.

He slowly stepped forward, looked the Second Elder straight in the eye, and said, "See for yourself if they are willing to go with you. By comparison, they are all more willing to mess around with me, an outsider."

These words made Pan Feichi so angry that he instantly erupted with the pressure of a Quasi-Emperor Fifth Layer and shouted furiously, "Presumptuous! A mere ant, daring to be disrespectful to this old man? You're courting death!"

With him as the center, a powerful pressure swept toward everyone; some disciples with lower cultivation realms could not help but collapse to the ground.

Su Chen's face also turned slightly pale; although he had broken through to the Great Saint Realm First Layer since coming out of the Illusion Realm, he still had a certain distance to go compared to Pan Feichi.

Seeing this scene before him, Pan Feichi couldn't help but smile triumphantly; this was the price for going against him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Lv Luo, attempting to make her realize his true power and let her know who she should really be following.

But he never expected that under this powerful pressure, Lv Luo didn't even blink, standing there with a calm and composed expression, as if she were completely unaffected.

The Quasi-Emperor pressure that could destroy heaven and earth to outsiders felt like a child scratching an itch to her.

Pan Feichi's eyes widened in disbelief that Lv Luo could have such profound cultivation; he roared, and another wave of pressure surged over, causing some people on the scene to be unable to resist and fall to their knees.

Even Zhao Yangyao and Gu Feiyang had terrible expressions; especially Zhao Yangyao, who had lower cultivation and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Yet, who would have thought that Lv Luo would just lazily yawn.

"Is this all you've got?"

As Lv Luo finished speaking, she lightly raised her hand, and vines appeared in the void, attacking Pan Feichi and binding him tightly in the blink of an eye.

Pan Feichi hadn't even seen how the vines appeared, and because he was bound, his pressure dissipated into nothingness in an instant.

This speed, and this level of agile control, could not possibly be the strength of a Great Saint Realm Peak!

"You... what kind of monster are you?"

Pan Feichi was filled with panic; looking at Lv Luo's baby face, an incomparable fear sprouted in his heart.

"If your skills are inferior to others, don't come out and embarrass yourself."

Lv Luo couldn't help but say with a smile, her eyes full of mockery.

She had never liked these people from the Qingyun Alliance, and even less so after coming out of the Illusion Realm; they were all a bunch of vermin.

"We hadn't even gone to find you yet, and you delivered yourselves to our doorstep."

Su Chen said with a chuckle.

"What do you have to be arrogant about? It's only because you have Lv Luo protecting you by your side, you pretty boy!"

Zhao Yangyao was so angry he wanted to tear Su Chen to pieces.

"Is that so?"

Su Chen slightly curled his lips, appearing far calmer than the ferocious-looking Zhao Yangyao.

To him, Zhao Yangyao was no different from a clown.

Suddenly, with Su Chen as the center, a blue Spirit Fire was released from his palm. (End of chapter)
