4200 This was the first time he felt fear.



The most terrifying thing was that the current Ling Chuxi was only at the late stage of the Emperor level. Once she advanced to the divine level, how terrifying would she be?

The projection of the Phoenix in the sky had already disappeared, and the thousands of birds that had gathered outside the city amongst the clouds had also dispersed. The little yellow chick had been hiding in the flames all this time, and it had not revealed its true form. Perhaps it had exhausted too much energy, so it had returned to the Meru space to sleep.

The sky was bright and quiet, and the warm sun shone on the earth. However, when they recalled the Phoenix's Nirvana flames from before, the powerful might of Ling Chuxi's three Meridian martial arts, and the Phoenix's flames that appeared at the last moment, everyone could not help but feel a chill in their hearts.

Even Yuwen Sicheng and the others were stunned. Yuwen Siyuan was dead. The hope of the Yuwen family, the pride of the generation that countless elders had placed their hopes on, had died just like that. Yuwen Sicheng and the others stood on the stage in a daze, not knowing what to do.

"Ling Chuxi, how dare you kill someone in the middle of a competition!" Elder Gong finally stood up and broke the deathly silence.

His expression was stern, but his emotions were fluctuating, and he even felt an inexplicable fear. Even he did not dare to imagine what kind of heights Ling Chuxi would reach in the future.

It would have been fine if he had not gotten involved in today's matter. However, the methods he had used to target the Ling family and Ling Chuxi were too despicable and too obvious. Once Ling Chuxi grew up, she would definitely not let him off.

In hundreds of years, this was the first time Elder Gong felt fear. Even those region Lords had never given him such a feeling. It was also because of this reason that his desire to get rid of Ling Chuxi became even stronger, and his eyes naturally flashed with killing intent.

"Since it's a competition, it's inevitable that we'll make mistakes. Elder Gong, are we only allowed to let him make a move while I have to stand there and be beaten?" Ling Chuxi was not frightened by his imposing manner and said disdainfully. Anyway, this old man had long been in cahoots with the Yuwen and Shangguan families, so there was no need for her to give him any face.

"Hmph, failed? Yuwen Siyuan's physical body was clearly destroyed, and only his primordial spirit was left, but you didn't even let his primordial spirit go. How dare you say it was an accident?" Elder Gong said with a sneer.

As a ruling elder, Elder Gong still had some scruples in his actions. Previously, no matter how he targeted Ling Chuxi, it was always Yuwen Siyuan who stood up for her. Now that he wanted to personally take action, he had to find a fair and just excuse.

"He was seriously injured earlier, but didn't his strength increase greatly after taking the spiritual pill? Even if only a nascent soul is left, who knows what the result will be if he takes another spirit pill?" Ling Chuxi's words were somewhat quibbling.

Being seriously injured and only having a Yuanying left were two completely different concepts. No matter how serious the injury was, as long as there was a suitable spirit pill, one could recover and even increase their strength greatly. However, the Yuanying was different. He had never heard of any spirit pill in this world that could directly increase the strength of the Yuanying.

However, when they thought back to the previous scene, the people below the stage felt that Ling Chuxi's words still made some sense. The spiritual pill that Yuwen Siyuan had consumed was too strange and peculiar. It was completely different from the spiritual pills they knew of. The key was that they had never heard of a spiritual pill that could rapidly increase the strength of a divine level master. In that case, it made sense for Ling Chuxi to be a little more careful.
