Chapter 34: Deputy Pavilion Lord of Qin Yun
Translator: Krukist
"How is this possible? Just who are you?!"
At this moment, within the grand hall of the Qin Yun Pavilion, Elder Guixiong clutched his arm, blood incessantly gushing out, his face ashen as he exclaimed in alarm. His entire being trembled with terror. Not far from him, lying still, was a severed arm, drenched in blood.
Elder Guixiong's gaze was fixed, unblinking, upon Ximen Chuixue, who stood beside Wang Feng. That cold, aloof, and indifferent gaze sent shivers down Guixiong's spine, freezing his very soul.
When Elder Guixiong's cry of shock erupted, it jolted the onlookers from their stunned silence. A collective gasp, a unified intake of breath, echoed through the hall.
"This is impossible!"
"Elder Guixiong, a Profound Sovereign Realm powerhouse, had his arm severed with a single sword strike?"
"Just what kind of existence is this person? I didn't even see how he drew his sword!"
"More than that, as a sword cultivator myself, I felt an impulse to prostrate myself in worship! This person must be a true grandmaster of the Sword Dao!"
"Terrifying! We initially thought this youth was merely a clownish figure, never expecting him to have such a powerful protector!"
"Indeed, to sever the arm of a Profound Sovereign Realm expert with a single sword, such a being, even within the Three Great Empires, is likely a top-tier existence!"
Everyone present erupted in hushed discussions, their words laced with extreme shock. The scene of Elder Guixiong's severed arm deeply impacted their hearts.
Behind them, Shao Changfeng's sinister grin froze on his face, replaced by a look of stark terror in his eyes. His body trembled uncontrollably. Elder Guixiong was his greatest reliance at this moment. To witness Guixiong's swift and decisive defeat filled him with genuine fear.
In that instant, Shao Changfeng and the several Four Directions Palace elders beside him felt an intangible threat of death descend. With the power of the expert beside Wang Feng, coupled with Wang Feng's unbridled audacity, if Wang Feng truly wished to kill them, even Elder Zhuqin might not be able to protect them.
"This Sect does not seek trouble, but it does not mean this Sect fears it! Throughout this entire affair, I believe the lady understands. You should be able to judge right from wrong. If you truly intend to become enemies with this Sect for the sake of so-called rules, then today, this Sect shall dismantle your Qin Yun Pavilion!"
Wang Feng paid no heed to Elder Guixiong's shocked cries. Instead, he turned his gaze towards Elder Zhuqin, his eyes devoid of warmth, and coldly declared.
With Elder Zhuqin's own Profound Sovereign Realm cultivation, she could have intervened and stopped Elder Guixiong before he attacked, yet she did not. This displeased Wang Feng greatly.
In the cultivation world, the law of the jungle prevails, nature is cruel and indifferent – it was truly so. If he did not possess such formidable power, he would likely have already perished under Elder Guixiong's palm. This woman, despite her beauty, was equally cold-hearted. How foolish was Wang Feng to have even entertained a flicker of goodwill towards her.
Hua!
Hearing Wang Feng's words, the crowd erupted once more in uproar. It was the first time they had heard someone dare to utter words about dismantling the Qin Yun Pavilion. Even the Emperors of the Three Great Empires would not dare to speak such words. Though Ximen Chuixue's display of power had astonished them, they still deemed Wang Feng excessively arrogant.
"You wish to dismantle my Qin Yun Pavilion, based on him alone?"
Hearing Wang Feng's pronouncement, Elder Zhuqin's beautiful eyes flashed. She glanced at Ximen Chuixue, then fixed her gaze on Wang Feng, softly scoffing.
Ximen Chuixue's strength indeed made even her, a Profound Sovereign Realm expert, tremble. However, the Qin Yun Pavilion possessed more than just one Profound Sovereign Realm powerhouse.
"Lady, you are welcome to try," Wang Feng chuckled lightly, replying with an indifferent tone, the confidence in his voice deeply affecting those who heard it.
Seeing Wang Feng's unwavering confidence, Elder Zhuqin fell into silence, her fair face shifting with uncertain emotions. Wang Feng was too enigmatic, and Ximen Chuixue beside him, with just a single sword strike, had caused even her, a Mid Stage Profound Sovereign Realm expert, to feel a tremor in her soul!
Elder Zhuqin was acutely aware that she was no match for Ximen Chuixue. If they truly came to blows, it would only be the Qin Yun Pavilion that suffered losses.
Thinking of this, Elder Zhuqin cast a venomous glare at Shao Changfeng. If not for him, how could her Qin Yun Pavilion have been placed in such a predicament?
"This incident, sir's intervention, it was justified. Our Qin Yun Pavilion will make an exception for you this once. Furthermore, you have already punished Shao Changfeng, and Elder Guixiong has lost an arm as a consequence. How about we let this matter rest here?"
As Elder Zhuqin hesitated, an aged voice resonated from the depths of the hall.
Immediately following, a stooped old man slowly emerged. His entire being emanated no discernible aura, yet with just a single glance, he inexplicably inspired fear.
"Heavens! Even Deputy Pavilion Lord Qin Sheng of the Divine Arrival Qin Yun Branch has been alerted?"
"Shao Changfeng probably never imagined that his lustful impulse would not only harm his own elder but also attract such a momentous figure!"
"Indeed, Elder Qin Sheng is an existence even the Imperial families must show deference to!"
Upon seeing the appearance of the old man, all the cultivators present shuddered, whispering in hushed awe, their tones filled with reverence for the elder.
Even those sect powerhouses on the fifth floor of the Qin Yun Pavilion subtly offered greetings from afar. Before Qin Sheng, no one dared to be disrespectful.
"Elder Qin Sheng!"
Elder Zhuqin, upon seeing the old man, revealed a respectful expression on her delicate face, bowing slightly and addressing him.
Elder Qin Sheng waved his hand, indicating Zhuqin need not stand on ceremony. His aged eyes, filled with the vicissitudes of life, fixed upon Wang Feng.
Facing Elder Qin Sheng's gaze, Wang Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, meeting Qin Sheng's gaze directly. Wang Feng had not anticipated that within this Qin Yun Pavilion, there existed a Peak Stage Profound Sovereign Realm powerhouse. No wonder it was a formidable force that even the Three Great Empires held in apprehension.
Even a Branch Pavilion in a single city possessed such foundations and power. This Qin Yun Pavilion was likely even more powerful than Wang Feng had imagined.
"Naturally, I will give face to Elder Qin Sheng!"
Wang Feng's lips curled into a slight smile as he spoke to Elder Qin Sheng.
The Qin Yun Pavilion was mysterious and powerful. It was clearly not worth going head-to-head with such a force for the sake of Shao Changfeng and his ilk. Moreover, once they left this place, he could kill Shao Changfeng and the others whenever he pleased. His previous actions were merely to establish his dominance and proclaim the code of conduct of his Divine Immortal Sect to the world.
Now that his objective was achieved, and the other party was showing deference, there was naturally no need to prolong the standoff.
"Thank you, sir! This time, your expenses within our Qin Yun Pavilion will be entirely waived. Furthermore, you shall become a VIP of our Qin Yun Pavilion, entitled to a 20% discount at any Qin Yun Pavilion Branch within the Empire!"
Hearing Wang Feng's words, a smile spread across the wrinkled face of Elder Qin Sheng. He then produced a Platinum VIP Card and handed it to Wang Feng, speaking in a cordial tone.
As Elder Qin Sheng's voice faded, the numerous cultivators present were jolted, disbelief painted across their faces. They had not expected that this significant event would be resolved in such a manner? And resolved with the Qin Yun Pavilion yielding ground?
What shocked them most was that Wang Feng, regardless of the reasons, had ultimately violated the Qin Yun Pavilion Regulations. Yet, not only did Elder Qin Sheng not pursue the matter, but he even presented a Platinum VIP Card!
That was the Qin Yun Pavilion's Platinum VIP Card! In the entire Radiant Sun Empire, there were very few who possessed a Platinum VIP Card. Even ordinary Profound Sovereign Realm experts had no hope of obtaining one.
"Elder!"
Elder Zhuqin, standing beside Qin Sheng, slightly parted her lips, confusion flashing across her beautiful face. However, before she could voice her question, she was stopped by Elder Qin Sheng with a gesture.
"In that case, many thanks!"
Wang Feng reached out and accepted the Platinum VIP Card, cupping his fist in a gesture of thanks and smiling. If one respects me by a foot, I shall repay them by a yard. Elder Qin Sheng's manner of handling things upon his arrival was very agreeable. At least, facing Elder Qin Sheng's series of actions, Wang Feng could no longer feel any anger rising within him.
"Sir, please!"
Seeing Wang Feng's demeanor, the smile on Elder Qin Sheng's face deepened. He gestured, inviting Wang Feng onward.
At this, Wang Feng did not immediately step onto the staircase leading to the second floor of the Qin Yun Pavilion. Instead, he turned his gaze towards Shao Changfeng, who was trembling in terror, and coldly smiled, "I hope you do not step out of the Qin Yun Pavilion, otherwise, you are dead!"
As his voice fell, Wang Feng flicked his finger. A cold beam shot forth, and Elder Guixiong's severed arm instantly exploded, flesh and blood flying in all directions.
"You…!"
Seeing his severed arm destroyed, Elder Guixiong's expression turned wrathful, wanting to roar in fury. But catching sight of Ximen Chuixue's indifferent gaze, he forcefully swallowed back his anger.
However, his eyes were filled with intense hatred. If the severed arm was not destroyed, with his Profound Sovereign Realm cultivation, he would have been able to reattach it. And after a period of recovery, it could have been as good as new.
But now, with the severed arm destroyed, he was destined to be one-armed for life. Even as a Profound Sovereign Realm expert, he was powerless to reverse this. Unless he could find a Rebirth Pill, but such pills were incredibly rare and beyond his reach.
Elder Guixiong had not expected Wang Feng to be so ruthless, directly shattering his hopes of reattaching his arm.
The numerous cultivators present, witnessing the destruction of Elder Guixiong's arm, were also chilled to the bone. That scene of flying flesh and blood deeply impacted them. Wang Feng's ruthlessness and unbridled behavior left an extremely profound impression on the many powerhouses present, even casting a shadow of fear over them in regards to Wang Feng.
Elder Qin Sheng raised his head, gazing at the sky, pretending not to see. Elder Zhuqin, also learning quickly, pretended not to see Wang Feng's action either.
"Elder Qin Sheng, please!"
Afterwards, a gentle smile graced Wang Feng's face as he turned towards Elder Qin Sheng, his expression warm and amiable, with no trace of the ruthlessness he displayed just moments before.
"Please!"
Elder Qin Sheng smiled, then led Wang Feng and his companions towards the upper levels of the Qin Yun Pavilion.
Even after Wang Feng and his group departed, the many cultivators present remained in shock, their minds reeling, unable to fully recover.
As for Shao Changfeng, hearing Wang Feng's final words, his entire soul trembled. A look of despair washed over his face. Even he had not expected the situation to reverse so rapidly. Moments ago, he was still threatening Wang Feng; now, it was Wang Feng threatening him.
The most crucial factor was the terrifying strength Wang Feng had displayed, a power truly capable of killing him.
