Chapter 271 The Bully
Chapter 271 The Bully
As the several layers of formations enveloping the market collapsed, the trapped cultivators fell silent for a moment, as if they hadn't recovered from this sudden change. A moment later, a noisy discussion erupted from the crowd.
"The formation is broken! We are saved!" A young monk shouted with surprise.
"Shi Chen is so powerful that he can actually break the formation of the Qingxuan Sect's Grand Elder." Another cultivator's eyes were full of admiration.
Some of the monks who had been panicking in the formation now breathed a sigh of relief, their faces filled with relief at having survived the catastrophe. They began to chat with one another, sharing their joy and emotions.
"I was really scared just now. I thought I would be trapped here and slaughtered by the Qingxuan Sect." An old man said with lingering fear.
"Yes, it's a good thing that Shi Chen broke the formation. The Qingxuan Sect is too much. They actually set up such a powerful formation in the market town." A cultivator next to him echoed.
Some cultivators were also curious and worried about the conflict between Shi Chen and Qingxuan Sect.
"Who on earth is this Shi Chen? How dare he confront the Qingxuan Sect?"
"I'm afraid this market will not be peaceful in the future. The Qingxuan Sect will definitely not let this go."
In a corner of the crowd, several powerful cultivators were silently observing the situation. They had a new understanding of Shi Chen's strength and were also pondering the impact of this conflict on the entire cultivation world.
"This Shi Chen is not simple. It seems we have to be careful when dealing with him in the future." A middle-aged monk said in a low voice.
"That's right. The Qingxuan Sect suffered a loss this time and will definitely try to get back at them. It's better for us not to get involved in their fight." Another cultivator nodded in agreement.
At this time, the conversation between the Supreme Elder and Shi Chen also reached the ears of some monks, causing them to discuss more.
"It looks like this fight is coming to an end for now. I wonder what will happen in the future."
"I hope they won't fight in the market again, otherwise innocent monks like us will suffer."
Shi Chenli stood above the main street of Fangshi, looking at the Qingxuan Sect's Grand Elder who was struggling to hold on, and said, "You are the ones who should be killed, and you are the ones who should be stopped. You have the biggest face, and all the cultivators have to give you face.
Last time in Qingxuan Sect, I was framed by these two idiots and they beat me up. Unfortunately, they were not strong enough, so they had to expel me from the sect.
Today, you think you can do whatever you want just because you have the support of the Supreme Elder? Humph, I, Shi Chen, am not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by anyone. "
The Grand Elder's expression was gloomy, but he knew it was not the right time to clash with Shi Chen. He sighed softly and said, "Shi Chen, we were indeed reckless today. But don't go too far. The depth of the Qingxuan Sect is beyond your imagination, and you don't want to make an enemy of all the sects in the cultivation world, do you?"
Shi Chen sneered and said, "Background? So what? If you continue to cause trouble, I, Shi Chen, will not be afraid.
The entire sect of the cultivation world? Haha, with your kind, can you really represent the sects of the entire cultivation world?
Most of the sects in the cultivation world are present at the Huo Lie Clan’s Holy City Ceremony. Why don’t you speak up to represent them?
The human race is counterattacking Dayu Continent and driving away the sea monsters. Why don’t you represent all the sects to fight against the sea monsters?
You are just a bunch of scum who only know how to bully others! Today ends here. This is my last chance. If you mess with me again, don't blame me for being ungrateful.
With a wave of his hand, Shi Chen removed the suppression of Ling Daoji and Wu Zhaojun, took back the formation flag, and turned to walk towards the Immortal Stack.
The cultivators in the market watched Shi Chen and Liang Ruyan leave with mixed emotions. There was admiration for Shi Chen's strength, fear of the Qingxuan Sect, and concern for the future.
Shi Chen, along with his two Taoist companions and Huang Ziying, and holding Xu Qing, entered the flying boat and soon disappeared over the horizon of the market town.
The Qingxuan Sect's Grand Elder's face turned ashen as he glanced around the market. All the cultivators who were still watching in the market were shocked.
At this moment, the heart of the Grand Elder was filled with anger and confusion.
He was angry that Shi Chen dared to openly challenge the dignity of Qingxuan Sect, causing Qingxuan Sect to lose face in public.
Looking at the different expressions of the cultivators around him, he could imagine that what happened today would soon spread throughout the entire cultivation world, and the reputation of Qingxuan Sect would suffer a great blow.
A crazy idea flashed through his mind, which was to seal off the market town and kill all the monks here to put an end to the shame of today.
In this way, no one would spread the news, and the reputation of Qingxuan Sect might be preserved. However, as soon as this thought came to his mind, he immediately rejected it.
He knew clearly that if he really did so, it would push the Qingxuan Sect into an irretrievable situation. Once the news leaked, the Qingxuan Sect would become the target of public criticism and be spurned by the entire cultivation world.
The Grand Elder clenched his fists tightly, with no place to vent his anger.
He knew that he couldn't act rashly now and had to find a way to restore Qingxuan Sect's reputation as soon as possible. He glared fiercely at the direction Shi Chen left and secretly swore in his heart that one day, Qingxuan Sect would make Shi Chen pay a heavy price.
But at the moment, he could only suppress the anger in his heart, winked at Ling Daoji and Wu Zhaojun, and the three of them flew back to Qingxuan Sect together.
They must come up with a plan as soon as possible to deal with this sudden crisis.
The monks in the market town also breathed a sigh of relief after the Supreme Elder and others left.
Even after the departure of the Grand Elder and the others, the cultivators' fear still lingered. They worried that the Qingxuan Sect would do something mad in their rage. After all, the Qingxuan Sect was a powerful force in the cultivation world, and no one could guarantee that they wouldn't resort to extreme measures to restore their reputation.
A young monk, his face pale and his voice trembling slightly, said, "Is the Qingxuan Sect really going to block the market? We're in big trouble."
The old man next to him frowned and shook his head, saying, "It's hard to say. Today's incident has caused the Qingxuan Sect such a huge loss of face. They will definitely not let it go. But if they really do this, they will be making enemies with the entire cultivation world."
"Shi Chen is really amazing. He even dares to challenge the Qingxuan Sect. I'm afraid the cultivation world will be bustling in the future." Another cultivator sighed.
"Lively? I think it's dangerous. Qingxuan Sect will definitely find a way to retaliate against Shi Chen, and maybe even implicate innocent people like us." Someone said worriedly.
"Then what should we do? Why don't we leave here quickly to avoid being affected?" suggested a timid monk.
"It may not be safe to leave now. The Qingxuan Sect may have already set an ambush outside. Let's see the situation first." said a more calm cultivator.
Everyone fell silent, thinking about the subsequent development of this conflict.
They knew that today's incident would not end so easily. The conflict between Qingxuan Sect and Shi Chen would inevitably intensify further, and they, the bystanders, might also be involved.
The future of the cultivation world will probably be full of variables and crises.
