Chapter 394 - Qi Series Secret Technique

Chapter 394 - Qi Series Secret Technique (1/2)

After hearing the words spoken by Song Ye in her ear, Song Qian was momentarily stunned.

Could it be that her father meant that no matter who came to the Tianwu Pavilion, he was confident in killing them?

Did her father truly possess such self-assured strength, or was he becoming overly confident and arrogant after easily taking Zhu Tenglong's life?

If it was the latter, it would be extremely dangerous.

After all, her father was not a cultivator, and he might find it challenging to comprehend the vast disparity in power between cultivators of different realms.

Even a slight difference in cultivation levels between two cultivators could result in a significant gap in strength. Zhu Tenglong, with only Virtual Spirit Realm cultivation, could easily be defeated by Song Qian if she wished, just by releasing a bit of her true qi.

The fact that her father could kill Zhu Tenglong did not necessarily mean he had the power to match that of an Immortal Sovereign.

And Song Qian could sense that among the newcomers, there was a terrifying presence with Immortal Sovereign-level cultivation.

This person was likely Zhu Tenglong's master, the Deputy Pavilion Master Zhan Qingwei of the Tianwu Pavilion.

Zhan Qingwei's strength was formidable, the highest cultivation in the Tianwu Pavilion, surpassing even his senior brother, the Pavilion Master. His Immortal Sovereign title was "Radiant Clear Immortal Sovereign."

Just as Song Qian was about to speak to her father, she was horrified to feel a tremendous pressure enveloping the entire Shangguan Mansion. Everyone in the mansion fell silent, afraid to make any movement.

Above the mansion, a green light appeared, tearing open a rift as if a doorway had been ripped apart. Through this horizontal green doorway, thirteen figures emerged.

In the middle of the group, one person was lying on a jade-made bed, right hand supporting his head, eyes closed as if still in a nap.

This person appeared very young, around the age of twenty.

However, the other twelve individuals were standing in mid-air. Only he was reclining, indicating his higher status.

Zhan Qingwei, Emperor Soul Realm First Layer.

Shangguan Jingming immediately bowed towards the sky. "Greetings, Radiant Clear Immortal Sovereign!"

The others also bowed to pay their respects, except for Song Ye.

Zhan Qingwei suddenly opened his eyes, seemingly aware that someone saw him but did not bow.

"Are you the outsider who killed my disciple Zhu Tenglong?" Zhan Qingwei looked at Song Ye, his tone calm.

To Song Ye's admission of the deed, Zhan Qingwei did not seem angered.

"It's me," Song Ye replied calmly.

Zhan Qingwei raised an eyebrow, "Aren't you afraid of me?"

"Why should I fear you?" Song Ye retorted.

"Hahaha!" Zhan Qingwei burst into laughter. "You outsiders are really amusing."

In his eyes, Song Ye probably had the courage of a greenhorn. He seemed fearless due to ignorance.

At this moment, Song Qian wanted to speak. She wanted to intercede on behalf of her father, but she found herself unable to utter a word. It felt as if Zhan Qingwei had somehow restrained her. In reality, Song Ye had used his Wangyu Xuan Control on her, as he didn't want her involved in the matter, as he had told her earlier. He only wanted her to watch quietly.

"Actually, I don't like this disciple of mine, Zhu Tenglong. He disappointed me in his cultivation. I thought he had extraordinary talent when I took him as a disciple. Little did I know he would only reach the Virtual Spirit Mirror Realm, hitting a bottleneck prematurely. It's like a slap in my face, mocking my judgment."

"But, he's still my disciple, an immortal master of the Tianwu Pavilion. No matter who it is or for what reason, if someone kills him, they have to pay with their life."

"However, seeing you, an outsider who might not understand the rules of this world, I'll generously give you a complete corpse. You can decide your own fate here."

Song Qian was anxious. Zhan Qingwei's words indicated a possibility for negotiation since he didn't like Zhu Tenglong. If she could speak, maybe she could offer the entire wealth of the Song family in Longyang as a ransom for her father's life. However, she couldn't speak, and Song Ye had decided not to involve her further, as he had just told her.

At this moment, she hoped someone else would speak on behalf of her father or that her father would humble himself and beg Zhan Qingwei for mercy. There might be a chance.

However, she kept her eyes fixed on her father, praying that he wouldn't say anything reckless. If he uttered even a single wrong word, there would be no room for negotiation.

The surrounding people were also curious about how Song Ye would respond. Would he kneel and beg for mercy, or would he bravely accept his fate, perhaps securing a dignified death with a whole corpse?

"By the way, Radiant Clear Immortal Sovereign, you are younger and more merciful than I imagined," Song Ye began, surprising Song Qian. 'Yes, praise him like that. Father has really become sensible. Praise him heavily, maybe there's still a chance.'

"I killed your disciple, and yet you're planning to leave me with a complete corpse," Song Ye continued. "Your kindness has made me feel a slight guilt. I have to apologize in advance because I lack your mercy. I never considered leaving you with a complete corpse."

Hearing Song Ye's words, Song Qian's eyes widened. She was shocked to the core. Not only did her father not beg for his life, but he also dared to provoke the other party.

The people around, upon hearing Song Ye's words, were also taken aback. Wasn't he essentially seeking death by making such statements?

After all, Zhan Qingwei was not an ordinary Immortal Sovereign. His cultivation had reached the Emperor Soul Realm, and cultivators at this level were commonly referred to as "Half-Emperors." They were the ones most likely to ascend to become Emperors.

Facing such a Half-Emperor, an outsider like Song Ye dared to speak boldly and provoke him. It could only be said that he was fearless due to ignorance, like a frog in a well unaware of the vastness outside.

"Hahaha, interesting, interesting," Zhan Qingwei laughed. "It's been many years since someone dared to speak to me like this. Well then, I'll play with you properly."

Even Zhan Qingwei found it amusing that Song Ye, due to his ignorance, dared to speak to him in such a manner.

For Zhan Qingwei, encountering someone who wasn't afraid of him was sometimes an interesting experience. 

Zhan Qingwei raised his right hand and formed a hand seal.

Illusionary Realm Series Technique – Forest.

Suddenly, within the Shangguan Mansion, towering trees shot up from the ground, reaching the sky. In an instant, a dense forest appeared, and the magnificent Shangguan Mansion seemed to transform into the depths of a dense forest.

However, all of this was just an illusion. The forest scene

 was created by Zhan Qingwei's refined magical power.

Different from ordinary attribute series techniques, Zhan Qingwei's "Illusionary Realm Series Technique" and Qingyan Immortal Sovereign Zhou Junhao's "Myriad Transformations Evolving Series Technique" were collectively referred to as "Qi Series Techniques."
