440: Chapter 420 Penglai Immortal Domain_1 440: Chapter 420 Penglai Immortal Domain_1 Ning Xin saw this scene unfold, and her brows instantly furrowed.

She hurried over to the gatekeeper and helped him up, “Uncle Zhang, what happened?”

The gatekeeper felt relieved upon seeing Ning Xin and quickly explained, “Miss, that fellow over there has gone mad.

He’s claiming that his master has taken a liking to this mountain and wants to turn it into his own cultivation ground.

I told him that this mountain is the property of the Ning family and that we have all the proper documentation, but he wouldn’t listen.

He said whatever place his master fancies automatically belongs to his master.”

“I told him that his actions were equivalent to banditry, but he didn’t care in the slightest.

He called me an ant and told me to buzz off, otherwise, he would take my life.

After saying that, he smashed up my guard booth and even the mountain gate.”

“Miss, this guy is truly terrifying.

You should go back and get the Family Head to deal with this matter,” he said.

Fuming with anger, Ning Xin turned her head to glance at the white-clothed young man and yelled, “How shameless can you be!

Not only did you deliberately destroy our mountain gate, but you also injured Uncle Zhang.

Have you no respect for the law?”

The white-clothed young man looked at Ning Xin and scoffed, “Law?

The laws of your secular world are nothing but a joke in my eyes.

In my view, the eternal truth of this world is that the strong prevail.

Ordinary people are no different than ants, and even if I killed him, it would merely mean he deserved it!”

“You!” Ning Xin was so angry that she ground her teeth, having seemingly never encountered such an unreasonable person before.

Lu Chuan reached out to pat Ning Xin on the shoulder and said, “Let me handle this matter.”

He then walked over to the white-clothed young man and asked, “You just mentioned our secular world.

By the sound of it, you are not from the secular world?”

The white-clothed young man held his head high, his face donning an air of arrogance as he replied, “That’s right!”

“Then where are you from?” Lu Chuan inquired.

The white-clothed young man answered with a condescending tone, “Listen well, I hail from the Penglai Immortal Domain, my name is Chiang Sheng!

And my master is none other than a true immortal from Penglai, the Mountain Moving Taoist Priest!”

“This mountain has been calculated by my master using a peerless method to be a geomantic treasure site.

He specifically sent me here early to scout the area.

In three days, he shall come here together with my two senior brothers.

I don’t care if this mountain is your property; the fact that my master has taken a fancy to this place is an honor for you.

You should be grateful to my master!”

“If you know what’s good for you, you would do well to tidy up this place for my master.

If you make him happy, he will undoubtedly reward you handsomely!”

Lu Chuan raised an eyebrow.

He knew of places beyond the secular world, and the only one that came to mind was the Kunlun Domain.

So, when the white-clothed young man initially said he wasn’t from the secular world, Lu Chuan thought he might be from the Kunlun Domain.

But now, a Penglai Immortal Domain had been thrown into the mix.

Moreover, the name of this place gave off the impression of being fabricated.

Without getting hung up on where this fellow came from, Lu Chuan coldly asserted, “It doesn’t matter where you’re from.

Since you’ve come to the secular world, you should abide by its rules.

This mountain is the property of the Ning family, and no one outside the family has any right to claim it!”

“You’ve destroyed the mountain gate, smashed the guard booth, and injured the gatekeeper.

These all require compensation.

If you don’t provide a reasonable reparation today, I’ll have to make you learn your lesson in a way that’s outside the rules!”

Chiang Sheng, upon hearing these words, let out a sneer and said, “You think you can?”

Lu Chuan simply stated, “If you don’t believe me, you’re welcome to try.”

By then, he had already deduced from the aura of this Chiang Sheng that the man’s strength was about that of a Grade 3 Saint, a level of mastery he needn’t fear.

This was also why he suspected that this so-called Penglai Immortal Domain was a fabrication of Chiang Sheng’s, because if it were truly from such an immortal domain, the man’s power would not merely be at the level of a Martial Artist.

Chiang Sheng looked at Lu Chuan with disdain and said coldly, “Fine, since you refuse to acknowledge what is good for you, I shall use my strength to show you what you are truly worth!”

As soon as the words fell, he unleashed a wave of power sweeping toward Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan raised his hand and neutralized that force.

A trace of astonishment appeared on Chiang Sheng’s face as he said, “I didn’t expect you to actually have some skills.

However, that was just a casual blow from me.

It’s normal for you to block it.

I don’t believe you can remain as composed when we truly engage!”

After speaking, he rapidly charged toward Lu Chuan.

Worried that the fight might affect Ning Xin and Uncle Zhang, Lu Chuan swiftly moved to the distant forest.

Seeing this, Chiang Sheng immediately gave chase, shouting, “Why are you running?

Don’t you have confidence in yourself?”

Once inside the forest, Lu Chuan turned around and stopped, revealing a mocking smile to Chiang Sheng and said, “Who told you I was running?”

Following that, the power of his Golden Core Perfection burst forth suddenly, and he bolted toward Chiang Sheng with the speed of an arrow.

Chiang Sheng, sensing this terrifying force, his complexion changed dramatically as he exclaimed, “How is this possible!”

He had clearly felt that Lu Chuan’s realm was far below his own, which gave him confidence to show off in front of Lu Chuan.

But he had never expected the other man could release a power not weaker than his own despite the huge gap in their realms, a feat he had only seen among the immortals of the Penglai Immortal Domain!

However, at this moment he had no time to ponder how Lu Chuan could unleash such terrifying power, and he quickly circulated his full strength to counter Lu Chuan’s incoming punch.

As the two exchanged blows, terrifying waves of power erupted, causing the trees in the forest to shake continuously.

Some trees, affected by the residual power, broke directly, scaring away countless birds.

Chiang Sheng barely withstood Lu Chuan’s onslaught, but he could distinctly feel he was having a difficult time coping with Lu Chuan.

Although he was junior in terms of realm, his combat strength was even a match for his two senior disciples.

Unable to understand how such a monstrous being could exist in the secular world, he roared, “Why the hell do you have such strong capabilities!

What kind of monster are you and where did you come from?”

Lu Chuan curled his lip and said, “I’m just someone from the secular world that you look down upon.

Weren’t you thinking highly of yourself?

How come you’re not doing so well now when it comes to the real fight?”

Grinding his teeth, Chiang Sheng felt extremely aggrieved.

Before coming here, his master had told him that the strongest in the secular world are those who had just entered the Saint Realm, nowhere near someone like him who grew up in the Penglai Immortal Domain, which was the source of his arrogance here.

But what he never expected was that the first person he encountered in the secular world who dared to cross him was so formidable, causing him to even doubt whether his master had been deceiving him.

He exerted all his strength in the fight against Lu Chuan, but the more he fought, the harder it became, until eventually, it turned into a one-sided beating, and he couldn’t even touch Lu Chuan.

In the end, Lu Chuan threw a full-powered punch towards Chiang Sheng’s stomach.

Chiang Sheng failed to react in time and took the punch square in the belly.

With a thud,

a surge of wild power spread outwards, Chiang Sheng’s body folded like a paper, his hands and feet collided as he was sent flying backward at a speed surpassing sound, crashing through more than a dozen trees before being stopped by a large tree, wide enough for three people to hug, and fell to the ground.

Blood was streaming from the corner of his mouth, and even after wiping it with his arm twice, it continued to flow.

He struggled to his feet, seemingly unwilling to admit defeat, but just two seconds after standing up, his body collapsed back to the ground due to unbearable pain.

Lu Chuan walked over to where Chiang Sheng lay.

Chiang Sheng, with a face full of fear, looked at Lu Chuan and said, “I… I was wrong, please spare me, I didn’t recognize Tai Shan, I’ll never act arrogantly again.”

Lu Chuan said indifferently, “I can spare you, but you need to compensate for what you owe.”

Chiang Sheng quickly said, “I’ll compensate, I’ll compensate!”

Afterwards, he hurriedly took out everything valuable he carried on him and handed it over to Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan glanced at the items, which were nothing more than some elixir pills and jade pendants, with not a single treasure among them.

He wasn’t really interested in making the man compensate with everything; he just wanted to teach the arrogant man a lesson.

So he said, “These items are not enough, take off your clothes as well, but you are allowed to keep your underpants.

Everything else has to be left as compensation.”

Upon hearing this, Chiang Sheng’s face changed, “Just… just leave my underpants?”

Lu Chuan nodded and said, “You can choose not to strip, but then leave your life here instead.”

Chiang Sheng quickly said, “I’ll strip, I’ll strip!”

He then, bearing the shame, stripped off all his clothes, leaving only his underpants.

Lu Chuan, seeing his pathetic figure covering himself, couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Alright, get lost, and if you dare to come back, I will truly take your life!”

“Yes, yes, yes!” Chiang Sheng quickly agreed, enduring the pain in his body, and ran down the mountain.

Lu Chuan picked up Chiang Sheng’s clothes and noticed that the material was extraordinary, likely woven from Ice Silkworm Silk, which could fetch a good price if sold.

He brought Chiang Sheng’s clothes and items to Uncle Zhang and said, “Uncle Zhang, sell these things for some money, consider it compensation for you.”

Uncle Zhang hurriedly waved his hands, “No, no, I can’t accept these things.”

Next to him, Ning Xin smiled and said, “Uncle Zhang, just keep them, it’s what you deserve.”

Uncle Zhang hesitated for a moment but eventually accepted them.

Lu Chuan checked Uncle Zhang’s body and found some internal injuries, gave him some elixir pills to take, and along with Ning Xin, took him to the hospital for treatment.

After settling Uncle Zhang, Lu Chuan and Ning Xin left the hospital.

Ning Xin looked at Lu Chuan with some concern and said, “That guy said his master and two senior brothers would come over in three days.

Although he admitted his wrongdoing, I think such people only yield to save their own lives.

Once they get the chance for revenge, they definitely won’t let it go, and I’m afraid he will still bring his master and senior brothers here to cause trouble.”

Lu Chuan thought for a moment and said, “That may be true, but there’s no need to worry too much.

I’m about to breakthrough, and three days should be enough.

If that guy brings his master and senior brothers here looking for trouble, I’ll just deal with all of them together.”

Ning Xin nodded, she always had unconditional trust in Lu Chuan; with him around, no trouble was really trouble.

The two returned to the Ning family together and reported today’s events to Ning Siquan.

Lu Chuan asked Ning Siquan to call back the family’s experts as a precaution against any unexpected incidents.

He told Ning Siquan he needed three days to make a breakthrough and that even if Chiang Sheng did bring his master and senior brothers to cause trouble, he would have already succeeded in his breakthrough, so Ning Siquan need not worry.

Having made all the arrangements, that very evening he went to Cloud Mists Mountain, readying himself for the breakthrough.

At the summit of Cloud Mists Mountain.

Lu Chuan sat cross-legged at a place where the Spiritual Energy was the richest.

He took out the Soul Fusion Pill and soul bead, confirmed that his condition had returned to its peak, and without hesitation consumed the Soul Fusion Pill, commencing his breakthrough.

He didn’t notice that as he began his breakthrough, the Demon Suppression Pagoda within his Dantian also began to exhibit an imperceptible change.

The first layer of the Demon Suppression Pagoda started to emit a glowing light, with the sound of roaring lions echoing as though some terrifying entity was awakening…
