242. Chapter 242: Su Chen is Caught Red-Handed

The people around them began one after another to accuse the Second Elder of his daily conduct.

Previously, relying on his status as Second Elder, whenever they were bullied, they could only grit their teeth and swallow their grievances whole.

But now it was different; they had someone backing them, so they all poured out their pent-up grievances.

"I am the Second Elder! Aren't you afraid I'll tell the Alliance Leader what you've done? You bunch of ungrateful ingrates!"

Seeing this, Pan Feichi was so angry he didn't know where to vent, and he shouted loudly in shame and rage.

But now, who would pay any attention to his flustered appearance?

"You'd better live long enough to see the Alliance Leader before saying that."

Su Chen gave a cold laugh, his eyes full of mockery.

Did Pan Feichi still think he was the infinitely glorious Second Elder?

When a tiger falls to the plains, it is bullied by dogs; a fallen phoenix is worse than a chicken.

"Since the Second Elder is so excessive, everyone here can torment him to their heart's content and take back all the grievances you have suffered."

Su Chen turned around, looked at the impassioned people before him, and incited them.

These words made everyone's blood boil, but thinking of the Second Elder's former status, they were momentarily hesitant and dared not make a move.

At this moment, the female disciple who had previously been harassed by the Second Elder stepped out first; she walked up quickly, raised her hand, and slapped Pan Feichi twice.

Before Pan Feichi could react to what was happening, he only felt his head buzzing with pain; he now had no Spiritual Power and was advanced in age, no different from an octogenarian.

But that female disciple had used her Spiritual Power for real, leaving blood-red slap marks directly on Pan Feichi's face.

"Let me tell you, old thing, I've wanted to slap you for a long time. Relying on your status as Second Elder to bully fellow disciples, with your heart higher than the heavens, looking down on us disciples—now, how does it feel to be beaten by the person you looked down on the most?"

The female disciple's face was flushed red, and she wore the satisfaction of finally having her revenge.

Several more heavy slaps followed, knocking Pan Feichi's front teeth out directly; if it weren't for the fact that Pan Feichi was trapped in place and unable to move, he would likely have flown dozens of meters away.

Seeing a female disciple step forward, others also walked up one after another to besiege Pan Feichi, determined to vent all the grievances they had suffered in the past.

Su Chen watched this scene quietly and couldn't help but sneer.

Liu Ruyan stood beside Su Chen without saying a word.

"Has he ever bullied you?"

Su Chen asked Liu Ruyan.

Liu Ruyan was, after all, the Saintess of the sect, so the Second Elder still had to give her some face, but she had received no shortage of cold glares in private.

However, she had received no shortage of strange looks since she was small, and the Second Elder's actions were, to her, akin to a mere itch.

Liu Ruyan shook her head and said to Su Chen: "I am the Saintess of the Qingyun Alliance, so he naturally dared not do anything to me, but those disciples without backgrounds are to be pitied."

"Once they have come to my Su Family, such things as stepping on the weak to curry favor with the strong will absolutely never happen. I, Su Chen, have the confidence to ensure they all receive the treatment they deserve."

Su Chen smiled slightly, his eyes full of wild arrogance.

Although he was still young, he was already considered a top-tier genius on this continent, and his deeds were those of a hero.

There were few people in this world who could be like Su Chen.

In the blink of an eye, the day arrived to open the Qingyun Secret Realm, and everyone had long been waiting outside the seal.

After they had dealt with the Second Elder, they still had some time left, and under Su Chen's organization, they harvested quite a few treasures; the treasures that had been withheld from them in the past few days were also generously distributed by Su Chen.

Unlike before, when they would do the hardest work every time they entered the Secret Realm but receive the smallest harvest, this time everyone could be said to have returned fully loaded.

Su Chen led the way out of the Secret Realm first and saw the eagerly awaiting Alliance Leader, Shi Zhengxiong, with the Great Elder, Zhao Zhengxing, following by his side.

This Zhao Zhengxing's cultivation was at the Quasi-Emperor Realm Fifth Layer, and he was also the biological father of Zhao Yangyao; because Zhao Yangyao had entered the Secret Realm, he was here to welcome him personally.

But it wasn't until everyone had exited the Secret Realm that they discovered many people were missing, among them the most powerful Quasi-Emperor Realm Fifth Layer Great Elder, as well as the Saint Son, Gu Feiyang, and the Head Disciple, Zhao Yangyao, who had not come out at all.

This caused Zhao Zhengxing, anxious for his son, to immediately walk up to Su Chen and ask hurriedly: "Where is my son? How is it that you have all come out, but my son has not?"

The way he asked this, it was as if their coming out was a strange thing, and only his son should have come out.

Su Chen couldn't help but curl his lip, looked at the old man in front of him, and said very impolitely: "Who is your son? Whether he comes out or not, what does that have to do with me?"

These words were truly blunt; the Great Elder had run rampant in the sect for so many years, and which young disciple didn't call him "Great Elder" with respect upon seeing him? This was the first time someone had treated him with such contempt.

He was instantly consumed by rage and couldn't help but say: "You yellow-haired brat, do you know who I am? How dare you speak to me with such an attitude! My son is Zhao Yangyao, the Head Disciple of the Qingyun Alliance; who doesn't know him?"

These words were extremely arrogant, yet Su Chen looked at him with an expression of speechlessness.

Let alone the Head Disciple of the Qingyun Alliance, he didn't even hold the Alliance Leader of the Qingyun Alliance in his eyes.

"Your son's legs are on his own body; where he went, how would I know? The Great Elder had best not go around biting people like a mad dog; after all, his Great Saint Realm cultivation is really not worth looking at."

Seeing this, Su Chen couldn't help but say, his tone full of mockery.

Hearing this, the Great Elder was so angry he didn't know where to vent, and he directly lashed out with a burst of Spiritual Power, wanting to teach this ignorant brat in front of him a lesson.

But before this Spiritual Power could even reach Su Chen, it was dissolved by an inexplicable force of Spiritual Power.

And almost in an instant, the Great Elder immediately realized that this was the Protective Talisman he had given to Zhao Yangyao.

"How do you have my son's dharma treasure?"

Zhao Zhengxing couldn't help but ask, as if he had guessed something, and a fierce murderous intent instantly erupted in his eyes.

Su Chen hadn't expected that the thing he thought looked like a piece of junk was actually a Protective Talisman, and that he had been caught red-handed by its owner's father.

However, things having reached this point, he wasn't afraid in the slightest.

He lifted his chin slightly and then said: "There are so many Protective Talismans in the world, how can you be sure this is your son's? Could it be that you see I have too many treasures on me and want to snatch them away?"

Such rogue-like words made even Liu Ruyan, standing to the side, unable to help but curl the corners of her mouth.

The Great Elder was so angry he was burning with rage, a fire suppressed in his throat, neither going up nor down, and he nearly passed out. (End of chapter)
