Chapter 1129 The Arrogant Master Shangguan
Ye Chen looked at the purple beams hurtling towards him, a faint smile on his face. His voice was not loud, but it reached Patriarch Situ's ears clearly: "Even if it is a complete version of the Holy Emperor's weapon, it is useless to me, let alone this incomplete semi-finished product in your hand?"
The moment he finished speaking, he slowly stretched out his right hand.
His palm grew larger at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in a flash it expanded to a size of ten thousand feet, like a giant hand covering the sky and the earth, grabbing the purple beam of light in front with tremendous pressure.
"boom!"
The purple beam of light hit the giant hand hard, and the violent impact force exploded like a tsunami, causing ripples in the surrounding space.
But the seemingly illusory giant hand was like an indestructible sacred mountain, blocking the impact of the light beam without even a crack appearing.
On the contrary, under the suppression of the giant hand, the purple beam of light gradually lost its momentum and could no longer move forward.
The giant hand ignored the impact of the light beam and continued to stretch forward. Under the horrified gaze of Situ Patriarch, it grabbed the purple gourd in his hand.
"don't want!!!"
Upon seeing this, Patriarch Situ let out a sharp cry.
How could he not see that Ye Chen was trying to snatch his purple gourd!
This is his life-saving trump card, the Holy Emperor's weapon that he spent countless efforts to obtain, and it must not be taken away!
He frantically mobilized the remaining immortal power in his body, trying to take back the purple gourd.
But Ye Chen's giant hand was like an iron clamp. He gently grabbed the struggling purple gourd and snatched it from his hand like picking fruit.
"puff--"
As the purple gourd was snatched away, the spiritual connection between him and the gourd was forcibly severed.
The violent backlash instantly swept through his whole body. Patriarch Situ suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood, staggered back several steps, his breath became weaker than ever, and he couldn't even stand steadily.
Everyone present widened their eyes, unable to believe what they saw.
That young man not only blocked the attack of the Holy Emperor's weapon, but also snatched the weapon away?
This is a Chaos Saint Emperor-level weapon, how could it be taken away so easily?
Ye Chen casually put the purple gourd into the storage space.
Although this thing is a semi-finished product, it contains the rules of the Holy Emperor. With a little refining, it can serve as a good auxiliary tool.
Patriarch Situ covered his chest with his hands, blood kept flowing from the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were filled with madness and fear.
He stared at Ye Chen intently and asked in a hoarse voice: "You... who are you?!"
Ye Chen shook his head lightly, his tone calm but with unquestionable majesty: "You are not qualified to know."
As he spoke, he slowly raised his right hand and extended a finger. At the tip of his finger, a golden light the size of a soybean slowly condensed.
The light seemed weak, but it was extremely condensed, as if it contained the power to destroy everything.
Although this light was only the size of a soybean, it made Patriarch Situ feel endless panic.
He could clearly feel that if he really suffered this blow, his soul would be destroyed and he would not even have the slightest chance of reincarnation!
"Wait a moment!!!"
He was instantly overwhelmed by the fear of death and screamed in terror, his voice full of pleading.
In order to survive, he even ignored his last bit of dignity.
"You can't kill me! I belong to Master Shangguan! If you kill me, you're not giving Master Shangguan face!!!"
Patriarch Situ shouted at the top of his lungs.
He knew very well that he had completely lost to Ye Chen in terms of strength. The only way to survive was to rely on "Young Master Shangguan" as a backer.
He knew that if he privately used the banner of Young Master Shangguan, the other party might be dissatisfied afterwards.
But now, staying alive is the most important thing.
As long as I can survive, even if I am punished by Master Shangguan afterwards, it is better than dying here!
But when Ye Chen heard this name, there was no fluctuation on his face, as if he had just heard an insignificant code name.
He had long sensed through his soul that there were other people hiding on the floating flying warship in the distance.
But he didn't care.
No matter who Patriarch Situ's backer is, today, nothing can stop his determination to kill people!
Ye Chen didn't take the "Young Master Shangguan" that Patriarch Situ brought up seriously at all. The golden light on his fingertips became more and more dazzling, like a condensed little sun, and the aura of destruction it emitted became more and more intense. The air around him seemed to be frozen by this aura, and even the breeze stopped flowing.
As Patriarch Situ looked at the increasingly bright light, his pupils suddenly shrank. The shadow of death once again enveloped his heart, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
At this moment, a young yet arrogant voice finally rang out from the flying warship in the distance: "Enough! He's my man. How dare you attack him without my permission?"
This voice sounded suddenly, with unquestionable majesty, which made everyone present stunned for a moment and subconsciously stopped talking.
Everyone looked up and looked at the flying warship that was completely black and carved with intricate patterns.
The hatch of the warship slowly opened, and a young man in a moon-white brocade robe walked out slowly.
He had a face as handsome as jade, a piece of warm jade of excellent quality tied around his waist, and his hair was tied up with a purple-gold hairpin. He exuded an innate nobility.
Behind him, there were four guards dressed in black. These guards were silent and looked like dormant beasts.
Just standing there made the air around him feel oppressive.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that these guards are definitely not ordinary characters, and their strength is probably at the level of a Divine Emperor.
Combined with Patriarch Situ's request for help just now, everyone's hearts were in turmoil.
Being able to make the "number one expert in Zhongzhou" like Patriarch Situ regard him as a life-saving straw at the critical moment of life and death, and willingly call him "Young Master", the identity of this Young Master Shangguan is absolutely noble to the extreme!
Looking at Patriarch Situ's look of "being saved", it is obvious that he firmly believes that as long as Master Shangguan comes forward, he will be able to save his life.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Master Shangguan, with curiosity, inquiry, and awe intertwined in their expressions.
At the same time, everyone was filled with doubts.
In their impression, there is almost no one they don’t know about the big families and big forces in Zhongzhou, but they have never heard of a family with the surname "Shangguan" that has such powerful strength to make the ancestor Situ bow down to them.
Which young master from a hidden power has such confidence that even the best master in Zhongzhou is willing to be his pawn?
..................
Young Master Shangguan stood condescendingly on the edge of the warship, his gaze like a cold knife, staring directly at Ye Chen below, his tone commanding: "If you touch him, it's the same as touching me. Also, I see that you are quite strong, so stay by my side from now on."
When he said this, his tone was as if it was a matter of course, as if giving Ye Chen the opportunity to "stay by his side" was a great gift, and Ye Chen should be grateful to tears.
Ye Chen originally had no intention of paying any attention to this "young master" who suddenly appeared.
In his eyes, people who relied on their family power to show off were not even worthy of his attention.
But when he heard what Master Shangguan said, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
This kid is really bold. He has such a condescending attitude and actually wants to take me as his younger brother?
And the hint of "reward" in his tone is simply ridiculous.
Since this Young Master Shangguan was so "interesting", Ye Chen temporarily gave up the idea of killing Patriarch Situ.
He slowly retracted his outstretched finger, and the fatal golden light at the fingertips gradually dimmed and disappeared, and the terrifying pressure that enveloped the world also receded like a tide.
As the pressure dissipated, the people who had been suffocating under the pressure finally breathed a sigh of relief. They subconsciously straightened their backs, their faces showing relief at having survived the ordeal.
The pressure just now made them feel like ants that could be crushed at any time.
When Patriarch Situ saw that Ye Chen had indeed withdrawn his hand, his heart, which had been in his throat, immediately fell back into his stomach, and his back was already soaked with cold sweat.
He was secretly proud of himself. Sure enough, the title of Young Master Shangguan was very useful!
No matter how strong this kid is, isn't he afraid of the power of the Shangguan family?
Thinking of this, a hint of contemptuous sneer flashed across his eyes as he looked at Ye Chen.
So what if he was incredibly powerful? In front of the massive Shangguan Family, didn't he still have to obey?
..................
When Master Shangguan saw Ye Chen stop, the arrogance on his face became even more pronounced.
He crossed his arms in front of his chest, raised his chin slightly, looked at Ye Chen with indifferent eyes, and said in a tone that was like alms: "Although you killed the ethereal immortal body that I had my eyes on, I think you are quite powerful and can be considered a useful talent. You are qualified to serve me."
He felt that being able to say one more word to Ye Chen was a great blessing to Ye Chen.
In fact, when he just came out, he was extremely angry when he saw Ye Chen kill the ethereal immortal body he had been thinking about.
That ethereal immortal body was of vital importance to him and was the key to his breakthrough.
But when he felt the pressure that Ye Chen had just released, and saw with his own eyes that Ye Chen easily blocked the Holy Emperor weapon of Ancestor Situ, he immediately gave up the idea of killing Ye Chen.
He knew very well that he would be involved in the power struggle within the family in the future, and the stronger the forces he could mobilize around him, the greater his chances of winning.
If a master like Ye Chen, who can easily suppress Patriarch Situ, can be recruited into his own camp, he will definitely be a great help and help him gain the upper hand in the family struggle.
For this reason, he suppressed his anger and decided to give Ye Chen a chance to "be loyal" to him.
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen raised his eyebrows and asked with some interest, "You want to take me in as your younger brother? Where did you get this guy?"
He had no interest in being someone else's younger brother. The reason he asked this was simply because he was a little curious about the origins of this "Young Master Shangguan".
Which family raised this second-generation rich kid who dares to be so arrogant in front of me?
He had even thought in his mind that if the Shangguan family was really so ignorant of the heavens and the earth, it would be better to just clean up the whole family as well to avoid them causing trouble in the future.
..................
When Master Shangguan heard Ye Chen's question, he thought that Ye Chen was really intimidated by his identity and wanted to join him, and a contemptuous smile suddenly appeared on his face.
He cleared his throat and deliberately raised his voice so that everyone present could hear: "Since you ask, then I will be merciful and tell you! I am from the Shangguan family. Many of my elders serve in the court. One of my uncles even holds the rank of second-rank official!"
When he said this, he raised his chin higher and his eyes were full of boasting.
He deliberately didn't go into too much detail because, in his opinion, it was unnecessary.
When everyone present heard the words "serving as an official in the court", their faces changed instantly.
They all knew very well that there were countless countries, dynasties, and sects in the vast sea of stars, but all forces would eventually come under the jurisdiction of the Formless Divine Kingdom!
Therefore, the "court" mentioned by Master Shangguan is definitely not the court of those small countries, but the court of the Wuxiang Divine Kingdom!
Only by being an official in the Wuxiang Divine Kingdom, especially an official of the second rank, can one be qualified to make Young Master Shangguan act so arrogantly and have the confidence to make a master like Patriarch Situ bow down to him!
For a moment, everyone looked at Master Shangguan with a deep fear in their eyes.
The power of the Wuxiang Divine Kingdom is not something that the local forces in Zhongzhou like them can provoke.
Everyone present was well aware of one fact.
In theory, all forces in this endless sea of stars, from small street clans to top sects, must be under the jurisdiction of the Wuxiang Divine Kingdom.
Because the countless seas of stars here are actually the territory of the Formless Divine Kingdom.
However, the rule of the Wuxiang Divine Kingdom has always been lenient, and it never interferes too much in the disputes among the lower-level forces.
For example, two families fight each other for territory and want to annex each other.
Or maybe two sects are fighting over resource conflicts, and they even want to completely destroy each other.
The top leaders of the Wuxiang Divine Kingdom don’t care about these trivial matters at all, let alone intervene.
For most forces, as long as they do not actively offend the powerful within the Wuxiang Divine Kingdom and do not do anything to subvert the rule of the Divine Kingdom, they can survive safely in their own territory.
Such ruling conditions can be considered quite relaxed.
On ordinary days, the influence of the Wuxiang Divine Kingdom on them is actually minimal.
Many times, the sense of oppression brought by a small sect next door that controls a rare mineral vein is stronger than the name of "Formless Divine Kingdom".
After all, the threat from the small sects is right in front of them, while the powerful people of the Wuxiang Divine Kingdom seem to live in legends and rarely appear in front of these low-level forces.
But it’s different now!
Young Master Shangguan, who was standing on the warship at this moment, was not some legendary figure, but a genuine person from the circle of powerful people in the Wuxiang Divine Kingdom.
His status is nobler than everyone present combined, and the forces behind him are beyond their reach.
