Chapter 1793
Only the Second Elder hurriedly echoed, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Rebellion! Utter rebellion! Lord Jiang, we cannot back down! Mobilize the warship formation and fight them to the death!"
He was calculating in his mind—as long as Jiang Bieli resisted, he would still have a chance to fish in troubled waters; if he really abdicated, he, the elder who had always opposed Chen Xuan, and who had colluded with outsiders to plot against Lin Yuyao, would surely die afterward.
The First Elder frowned but remained silent—looking at the resolute expression in Lin Yuqiong's eyes, and recalling Chen Xuan's ruthlessness in slaying the Second Elder with a single sword strike, his heart had already turned towards the new master.
The other core disciples and personal disciples remained silent, heads bowed, but their eyes held a hint of expectation—perhaps, the young master's ascension could truly help Qilin City escape its current predicament.
Lin Yuqiong and Lin Yuyao trembled upon hearing their father's roar.
Jiang Bieli was, after all, their father and the hero they once admired. Now that things had come to this, neither of them felt good about it.
Chen Xuan saw the siblings' dilemma and knew it was time for him to step in.
He reached out and patted Lin Yuqiong on the shoulder, stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over the people on the warship, his voice carrying a hint of coldness:
"To be honest, my original plan was to destroy the five holy cities, then depose City Lord Jiang, then kill 60% of the useless cultivators on Qilin Star, and then directly put Yu Qiong on the throne."
He turned to look at Lin Yuqiong, a hint of helplessness in his smile: "Unfortunately, your new city lord is kind-hearted and unwilling to see too much bloodshed, so he insists on resolving things in a 'gentle' way."
These words caused another collective gasp from the audience!
Was the fate of Qilin City predetermined from the very beginning?
"You unfilial son! How dare you be so rebellious!" Jiang Bieli's eyes turned red with anger, and the Second Elder jumped up and roared, "Chen Xuan! Even if you were not the son-in-law of Qilin City, the internal affairs of Qilin City are not something a mere relative of the imperial family like you can interfere with!"
Chen Xuan frowned slightly, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes. He gripped the Northern Darkness Sword in his hand in a flash, and with a glint of dark light, he unleashed a strike at the Second Elder—the very "Ends of the Earth Within Reach," a technique that had merged with the Great Dao of Time and Space!
The sword light had barely appeared when it vanished into the void.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Bieli immediately shouted, "Activate the warship's defensive array! Quickly!" He knew Chen Xuan's swordsmanship was terrifying, so how could he dare to let the Second Elder face him alone?
hum!
A golden, pure Yang magic array instantly unfolded above the warship, runes intertwining into a net, radiating a heavy defensive aura. But Chen Xuan merely smiled faintly, his tone full of mockery: "Playing with arrays in front of me?"
Huhu——
Oh!
Rumble!
An invisible sword beam suddenly slashed out from the void, landing precisely on the magic array's light shield.
The light shield rippled slightly without breaking, but the Second Elder inside the formation didn't even have time to scream before he was cleaved into a bloody mist by the sword light, his primordial spirit not even having a chance to escape!
"This...how is this possible?"
"Killing a third-level Celestial Immortal through a Pure Yang Formation?!"
"What realm is he at? What kind of sword technique is that? How could someone at the Void Reversal Realm possess such bizarre methods!"
The onlookers were completely dumbfounded, and Wang Zheng, Lao Dao, and the other three turned pale—they thought they had overestimated Chen Xuan, but now they realized that they had underestimated this demon god!
"Enough with the noise." Chen Xuan sheathed his Beiming Sword, his gaze coldly sweeping over Jiang Bieli on the warship. "You think you're qualified to challenge me?"
Then, his gaze fell on the Qilin City disciples who were pouring immortal power into the magic array, and his voice suddenly turned cold: "Do you also want to turn to ashes like the Second Elder?"
These words struck like a thunderbolt, exploding in the hearts of all the disciples. Their faces turned deathly pale instantly, their movements halted abruptly, and they all withdrew their immortal power—the Second Elder's fate was right before their eyes; who would dare to gamble with their own life?
The golden pure yang magic array lost a large amount of immortal power, and its light quickly dimmed, eventually turning into specks of light and dissipating into the void.
Jiang Bieli looked at the empty magic circle and then at Chen Xuan's cold eyes. The last thought of resistance in her heart was completely extinguished.
