reason, after she uttered the word "angel" just now... a strange sense of oppression suddenly surged within her, making her feel suffocated and very uncomfortable. 。Perhaps the immense shadow left b...Chen's residence, Chen Luo's detached villa.

Han Qi sat on the sofa in the living room, his head bowed, his eyes lost in thought.

Two masters stood behind him.

A moment later, he heard footsteps and his face changed slightly. He immediately stood up.

"Master Chen Luo... no, I should address you as the Saint Lord, Chen." Han Qi slightly bowed, giving Chen Luo a fist salute.

Chen Luo scanned Han Qi with an impassive expression.

Han Qi only felt a chill rise from his feet, as if he had fallen into an ice cave!

Just a casual glance, and he felt as if he had been seen through and through!

This is the might of a martial saint, isn't it

Han Qi couldn't even meet Chen Luo's gaze, so he could only lower his head and stare at the ground.

Just two months ago, he could laugh and chat amicably with Chen Luo, both of them on equal footing.

But now, Chen Luo has become a Martial Saint, his strength far surpassing him by a large margin, and even his status is not on the same level.

Chen Luo's current status allows him to rank first in the Chen family! Even in the entire Huaibei martial arts world, no one dares to challenge him!

This is the difference between talents.

Within just two months, the distance between Han Qi and Chen Luo had widened to an unbridgeable gap.

"What brings you to me" Chen Luo strolled over to the sofa and sat down.

Han Qi sat down and after a moment's contemplation, squeezed out a smile and said, "I wonder if the revered Chen Sheng has ever heard of the Frost-Cold Palace"

Chen Luo frowned and said, "Never heard of it."

"This is a martial arts sect in Huaibei. This sect is quite unique, it only accepts female disciples..." Han Qi introduced.

"Get to the point," Chen Luo interrupted Han Qi.

Han Qi's face changed slightly as he said, "That's the situation. Now all the sects in Huaibei are under the control of various clans, leaving only the Frost Cold Palace to remain independent."

"So what" Chen Luo looked at Han Qi.

"Actually, our Han family has already gone to Frost Cold Palace and negotiated with their palace master, Su Lengyun, twice, but both times failed. Su Lengyun's attitude is quite resolute and she is unwilling to become a vassal of any family." Han Qi said.

Chen Luo was getting a little impatient.

He doesn't care about this little thing at all.

Han Qi observed Chen Luo's impatience and quickly said, "Especially the second time I went there, my younger brother Han Tianyu was seriously injured... That's when we realized something."

"Su Lengyun of Frost Cold Palace has a deep friendship with Fang Yu."

Upon hearing Fang Yu's name, Chen Luo's expression changed immediately.

He looked at Han Qi, his eyes turning cold as he spoke, "You're talking about Fang Yu, the one who was seen on Baichuan Mountain and then killed Zheng Yan"

"Yes," Han Qi replied, a trace of malice flashing in his eyes. "It's precisely because we fear Fang Yu's presence that we haven't dared to attack Shuang Han Palace."

Chen Luo leaned against the sofa, squinting at Han Qi and said, "What's your purpose in telling me this"

"Recently, Fang Yu has been appearing very frequently. Last night, I attended an exchange meeting and saw Fang Yu clash with the prince of the Nord royal family, beating both brothers severely before vanishing into thin air..." Han Qi observed Chen Luo's changing expression and said.

But besides the cold and sharp aura, Chen Luo did not show any other unusual emotions.

"Master Chen, this Fang Yu is extremely arrogant now. Not only does he protect the Frost Cold Palace with all his might, but he also stirs up trouble everywhere, not taking any of the major families seriously." Han Qi continued to fan the flames, saying, "Of course, Fang Yu can even defeat Zheng Yan. Now, in the entire Huaibei martial arts world, besides those old monsters who do not appear in the world, I am afraid that only you, Master Chen, can suppress him."

Hearing this, Chen Luo looked at Han Qi, a proud smile playing on the corner of his mouth.

"Han Qi, I know exactly what you're thinking."

Chen Luo stood up, his eyes filled with disdain.

“There will be a final showdown between me and Fang Yu. There’s no need for you to stir up trouble here,” Chen Luo said in a cold voice. “I will eventually stand at the peak, and before that, I will eliminate every enemy who obstructs my path.”

"The Fang Yu you mentioned, as well as Dao Tian on the Blazing Mountain Range, and that masked man... all powerful beings will become stepping stones for my return to the peak."

"Han Qi, this little trick of yours is too childish. It even makes me feel like you're insulting me, treating me like an idiotic fool."

Chen Luo looked at Han Qi, his eyes flickering, a terrifying gleam flashing in them.

Han Qi's heart skipped a beat, and his face instantly turned pale.

Chen Luo's aura suddenly erupted, powerful to the point of suffocation!

"What do you want to do!"

The two grandmasters behind Han Qi reacted swiftly, their expressions changing as they roared.

Chen Luo coldly glanced at the two masters, and with a wave of his hand.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound echoed, and the two masters spat out large mouthfuls of blood before being flung backwards.

One of the masters' heads turned a full three hundred and sixty degrees before expiring.

Another person collapsed heavily to the ground, motionless, and had already lost their breath.

Such a casual slap, instantly killing two masters!

How terrifyingly powerful!

Chen Luo looked at Han Qi, a bloodthirsty smile spreading across his face.

At this time, Han Qi's whole body was soaked with cold sweat!

He never could have imagined that he would end up in danger himself after coming to the Chen family today. He thought he could incite a conflict between Chen Luo and Fang Yu, but instead, he fell into a trap!

He never expected Chen Luo to suddenly turn against him, and even attack, without any regard for the Han family's presence!

"Ah..."

The pressure on Han Qi grew heavier and heavier, until he could hardly breathe and let out a pained groan.

"Pffft!"

Han Qi immediately knelt on the ground, trembling and said: "Holy Chen, please forgive me. It was my own folly..."

Chen Luo looked at Han Qi, who was trembling all over, and smiled faintly: "From now on, don't appear in front of me again. You and I are not on the same level. You don't even have the qualifications to be my opponent, understand"

Chen Luo's voice was laced with murderous intent.

Han Qi was terrified and said, "Understood, Your Majesty."

"Get out." Chen Luo said coldly, the pressure he had placed on Han Qi instantly dissipated.

Han Qi suddenly felt a wave of relief wash over him, and he scrambled out the gate.

Chen Luo looked at Han Qi's back, a contemptuous smile on his face.

After returning to the Nascent Soul stage, this little clown Han Qi was like an ant in front of him, easily crushed by a single finger.

Having lived for over a thousand years across two lifetimes, his understanding of human nature had reached its peak.

Han Qi's self-righteous scheme was childish in his eyes, easily seen through.

But Han Qi's mention of Shuang Han Palace and Su Lengyun, Chen Luo still kept in his heart.

Fang Yu was his mortal enemy. He would certainly do anything to make his enemies suffer.

"Frost Cold Palace... when I've finished dealing with other matters, then I'll cut you open." Chen Luo's eyes glinted with a bloodthirsty light.

……

Chen's banquet invitation and the notice of the martial arts tournament have been announced to the world.

Every region, especially the martial arts families of Huaibei, has been abuzz with discussion.

The Chen family banquet was as expected, after all, with a Martial Saint emerging from the family, it was indeed something worth celebrating. It also allowed major families to demonstrate their sincerity and allegiance.

But the fact that the Martial Arts Tournament was held on the same day caused discomfort for all the major clans.

As in previous years, the Martial Arts Tournament will be held between October and November.

While the Chen family had originally planned to hold it two months later, they unexpectedly moved it up to coincide with that banquet.

The Huaibei Martial Arts Tournament is restricted to warriors between the ages of twenty and thirty, effectively serving as a competition among the younger generations of prominent families.

Chen Jia's motives for doing this are very clear.

This is a blatant show of power, and they're doing it by humiliating the young elites from all those powerful families!

This is bad news for all the big families.

At this age, how could Chen Luo, who has reached the realm of a martial sage, possibly have an opponent

They made the young warriors of their clan participate in the Martial Arts Tournament, isn't that just sending them to be humiliated by Chen Luo

If they ever encounter Chen Luo, their family's future core will be in grave danger!

But the martial arts tournament had to be attended, with many ramifications involved, including the Martial Arts Association's dividends and the rankings of the Huaibei martial arts families for the next four years.

Therefore, even though everyone knows this martial arts tournament is just a stepping stone for Chen Luo to ascend to the top, major clans are still seriously discussing the matter of participating.

The entire Huaibei martial arts world has been in an uproar ever since Chen Luo emerged from seclusion. Even a day later, the heat hasn't died down.

At this time, Fang Yu was still at the desk in his apartment, repeatedly calculating the mental method.ator sitting on the outer edge has a humble posture, like a servant. Only the cultivator sitting in the middle seems relaxed, even crossing their legs. They don't seem wary or nervous even though they...
