Chapter 2072 - 2072 2062 The Taken Away Lingxi

2072: Chapter 2062: The Taken Away Lingxi 2072: Chapter 2062: The Taken Away Lingxi Following that thunderous noise, a lot of disciples rushed out to see what was happening.

Three men stood proudly in the sky—the source of the deafening sound just now.

“May I know why the three of you have come to my Seven Star Hall?” Tian Shu flew out from the Great Hall and asked with utmost respect, unaware that Long Yan had already slaughtered the Emperor Clan’s genius.

If he’d known, he would certainly have protected Long Yan for the sake of the Seven Star Hall.

“Cut the crap, tell that bastard Long Yan to come out; he dared to kill my son.” Di Xin had been cultivating within the Emperor Clan, but the Token that represented his son Di Yan’s life had shattered.

After inquiring with the Family Head of the Emperor Clan, he learned that his son had been sent to retrieve young lady Lingxi from the Seven Star Hall.

The moment he heard the name Long Yan upon arrival the previous evening and that there had been a scuffle, Di Xin knew who had killed his son.

“Long Yan is here; what does the old thief want?” Long Yan called out brashly.

Di Xin was fuming, utterly incensed.

Not only had Long Yan killed his son, but he was also brazenly insulting him.

Tian Shu, too, managed a forced smile.

Hearing Di Xin’s call, he had a clear understanding of the situation, but there was no alternative now that things had come to this.

Tian Shu assessed the strength of the men before him.

Although Di Yan was a genius among the younger generation of the Emperor Clan, his father did not possess a particularly high Cultivation Base.

With the others by his side, Tian Shu felt he had some confidence.

Di Xin possessed the highest Cultivation Base; he was nearly at the level of a Half-Step Divine Emperor, while the rest were merely 8th-Rank God Kings.

“You little beast, did you kill my son?” Di Xin, with bloodshot eyes, asked as he saw Long Yan flying over.

“Of course, he wanted to kill me, so naturally, I had to kill him.” Long Yan replied coolly.

“Very well, very well, very well.” Di Xin repeated ‘good’ three times, his voice laced with a hint of desolation as Tian Shu quietly circulated his martial arts, ready to act at any moment.

“Tell me, how do you wish to die?” Di Xin, gazing at Long Yan, knew it would be easy to kill a God King Level Three like Long Yan with his Half-Step Divine Emperor ability.

To maintain the appearance of an Expert, he turned away, offering Long Yan the chance to choose his manner of death.

Watching the silent Long Yan, Di Xin was calm; he didn’t believe Long Yan could pose any threat to him.

“You see,” Long Yan deliberately drew out the last word.

“Where did you get the courage to speak to me like this?” Di Xin was about to teach Long Yan, who didn’t know his place, a lesson, but Long Yan made the first move.

A black and white light beam intensified in his hand, and in an instant, it sent Di Xin flying.

The people behind Di Xin were dumbstruck; they had never heard of a God King Level Three knocking away a Half-Step Divine Emperor with a single strike.

“You…” The others, set to move, were stopped by Tian Shu, who had been prepared for this—the moment his people moved, so would he.

Suddenly, numerous Elders and the Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall rose from the ground, each with the power of an 8th-Rank God King.

“Kill this youngster for me.” Di Xin, his face smeared with dust, flew back.

The attack hadn’t seriously injured him, but for a Half-Step Divine Emperor to be flung away by a God King Level Three was unheard of.

The shame he felt was not enough to make him ponder Long Yan’s strength carefully; he simply roared furiously.

In the sky, myriad colors of True Qi dazzled brilliantly.

The Elders would fight decisively if anyone from the Emperor Clan dared to raise a hand.

“Di Xin, look at the situation.” His companion tugged at Di Xin’s clothes and warned, suspecting that if a fight truly broke out, they would be killed on the spot.

“Do you wish to oppose the Emperor Clan?

My Emperor Clan could destroy your little Sect in mere minutes.”

Finally sobering up from his rage, Di Xin shouted, his demeanor threatening but inwardly somewhat intimidated by the Seven Star Hall members surrounding him.

“Senior Brother, Senior Brother, what’s happening over there?”

A disciple who had just joined the sect pointed to the sky and asked the others.

“That might be the Elders announcing something.”

The two Senior Brothers also looked up at the sky and said.

“Long Yan is my Seven Star Hall’s Chief Disciple, Sir, do you think it’s appropriate for you to come here and try to kill someone in my Seven Star Hall?”

Tian Shu’s face was impassive, and his words left Di Xin with no room for rebuttal.

Being from the Emperor Clan, he had shown a lack of respect from the start.

“Secondly, the Emperor Clan is just a top force from another Plane, but it is not a superior to my Seven Star Hall.”

“Where do you get the courage to cause trouble in my Seven Star Hall?”

Tian Shu’s words hit Di Xin like a heavy hammer; the Seven Star Hall was prepared to defend Long Yan to the death.

“Then is my son’s murder to be left unavenged?”

Di Xin’s tone also became colder as he secretly gathered True Qi in his hand, with the whole fight on the brink of erupting.

Tian Shu narrowed his eyes.

While the Emperor Clan might be stronger, if a real fight broke out, even the Emperor Clan would have to consider the consequences, as a few deaths here might result in nothing more than some compensation.

But Long Yan was not someone whose worth could be measured in compensation.

He was the future of the Seven Star Hall, a cultivator of such talent that even the Supreme Elders at their age had not seen before.

“Halt.”

A cold voice rang out, causing Tian Shu, who was still discreetly evacuating disciples, to be startled.

The person who had arrived was Lingxi; what was this young lady doing here?

“Lingxi, you…”

Long Yan saw Lingxi and didn’t know what to say, but she just gave him a small smile.

“Big Brother Yan, this way we won’t solve anything.”

The original plan was to hide Lingxi and let Long Yan deal with it personally, then they would go to Lingxi’s family to propose marriage.

“Uncle Di Xin, let’s stop this conflict from both sides.”

“Di Yan was killed by Big Brother Yan because he tried to kill Big Brother Yan first, no one else is to blame.”

Di Xin certainly knew what kind of character his only son was, but that was his only son, who at the mere age of thirty had become a God King Fifth Level, a height unimaginable to ordinary people.

However, seeing the situation before him, Di Xin realized that avenging his son was unlikely, so he too went down the slope and withdrew the True Qi from his hand.

“Young lady, you have to come back with us.”

Another person looking like a servant flew to Lingxi’s side.

“I will go with you.”

Lingxi nodded, and Fat Cat jumped onto her shoulder.

“Lingxi.”

Long Yan called out, everything was so different from what he had imagined, and he was not resigned.

“Big Brother Yan, Lingxi will be waiting for you.”

Lingxi turned back to give Long Yan a smile and followed Di Xin as they flew off into the distance.

But that one smile shattered Long Yan’s heart.

Tian Shu sent the surrounding Elders away, and as the Sect Leader of Seven Star Hall, he certainly knew what kind of behemoth the Emperor Clan was.

“Work hard.

When you reach a height that is beyond the reach of ordinary people, you can go and bring her back.”

Long Yan knew that the Emperor Clan was too overwhelming for him.

Lingxi’s actions had saved both her and the Seven Star Hall.

Di Xin was, in name, an envoy of the Emperor Clan.

If Tian Shu and the others had killed Di Xin, it would have meant declaring war on the Emperor Clan, which would be fatal for the Seven Star Hall as it was now.

“I am going to the God Demon Battlefield!”
