Chapter 111: Watch the fun?

Hearing the Great Elder's words, City Lord Tian was stunned for a while.

"Se-Senior? Elder, what do you mean?"

City Lord Tian muttered to himself, but his heart suddenly snapped up.

In the Eastern Territory, except for those old monsters who are hidden from the world, the status of the Great Elder of the Holy Mountain can already be regarded as the highest person.

But even the Elder of the Holy Mountain now needs to address someone as 'senior.' What kind of existence could that be? Could it be those reclusive old monsters from the Eastern Region!?

The Great Elder of the Holy Mountain did not explain, instead he slowly stepped aside, allowing the City Lord to see the situation in the direction of the Ren family.

There, a young man with a gentle smile on his face happened to be looking his way. Meanwhile, the Ren family, though its flames had already been extinguished, felt somewhat eerie to the City Lord…

How could the massive Ren family estate be devoid of people?

"Father, it's… it's this senior here… who casually wiped out the Ren family. As for the rest, there's no time to explain now. Allow me to kowtow to senior first!"

Seeing his father bewildered, Tian Gou quickly stepped forward and, facing the direction of Chen Daoxuan, dropped to his knees with a resounding "thud" onto the ground.

"Thud!"

His head hit the ground with a real thud, and he didn't dare to rise, only waiting for Chen Daoxuan's command.

As for City Lord Tian, he initially thought his son had gone mad from fright. However, upon seeing the Great Elder of the Holy Mountain, who even needed to address someone as "senior," it became evident that the issue lay not with his son!

"Thud!"

"Thud!"

City Lord Tian, exhibited a remarkable understanding as he knelt down in line with his son, bowing their heads in reverence toward Chen Daoxuan.

Up to this point, City Lord Tian, remained clueless about what his son had actually done to become associated with such an existence. However... kowtowing was the right course of action!

How had their Tian family managed to prosper to its current stature? Through hard work! He had even chosen the name "Tian Gou" for his son, embodying this spirit of perseverance!

"Tsk, the Eastern Region truly is a vast place, just look at this overly courteous reception. Wherever you ought to return, return there."

Chen Daoxuan assessed the two individuals with a glance, discovering that the City Lord was merely at the Annihilation Realm. Clearly, neither of them had offended his disciples. Even if it was Yanran or Yourong, they could easily surpass the City Lord in the Annihilation Realm after mastering the Holy Dragon Transformation.

If they had genuinely provoked his disciples, they wouldn't have had the opportunity to kowtow now.

"Many thanks, senior, many thanks, senior!"

Upon hearing these words, the father and son from the Tian family felt as though they had received a pardon. They repeatedly bowed their heads before finally daring to rise.

Subsequently, after bowing respectfully to the two Elders of the Holy Mountain, they promptly departed. They left so hastily that not even the majestic Steed of the Void Sky Realm could be brought along by Tian Gou.

After moving a certain distance away, City Lord Tian, finally let out a long sigh of relief.

"What on earth did you do, Gou? How did you manage to provoke such an existence? As the City Lord of Xuantian City, I've only seen the Great Elder of the Holy Mountain on three or four occasions in my entire life. Yet you, you've somehow made connections with an existence even the Elder of the Holy Mountain looks up to!

"You truly live up to your name in vain, Tian Gou. You've utterly tarnished the name I gave you!"

Recalling the recent events, City Lord Tian, felt a bit parched and ended up reprimanding Tian Gou by his side.

With his head lowered, Tian Gou dared not speak. He truly had stirred up trouble this time. Fortunately, that senior and the two fairy maidens hadn't pursued the matter. Perhaps they hadn't even taken notice of him.

"By the way, aren't you planning to get married? Which family's young lady? When I return, I'll help you arrange the marriage. Let's celebrate."

Seeing his son's current state, City Lord Tian, couldn't help but feel some sympathy. In a turn of words, he casually mentioned the matter. However, the moment this remark left his lips, Tian Gou stumbled and nearly fell from midair.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound echoed as City Lord Tian, stared at his son in bewilderment.

"You brat, you dare hit your father? This is defying the natural order! I won't spare you when I return home today!"

City Lord Tian, was utterly befuddled by the slap he had received from his son. He couldn't fathom why his luck seemed to have taken such a terrible turn today.

"Hush… Dad, be careful with your words, be careful!

"When we return, you can skin me alive if you want, but under no circumstances should you ever mention the marriage matter again. Otherwise, the next family to be wiped out might just be ours, the Tian family!

"The Path of Gou, your child understands deeply!"

Panicked, Tian Gou covered his father's mouth, speaking nervously.

Hearing these words, City Lord Tian, realized that there might be hidden implications. He refrained from further comments and simply quickened his pace.

…

After the two had departed, only the two Elders of the Holy Mountain remained at the Ren family estate, along with Chen Daoxuan and his group. However, Chen Daoxuan suddenly furrowed his brow.

The two Holy Mountain Elders who had approached, ready to ingratiate themselves, grew visibly uneasy.

"Do you enjoy watching commotions so much? Since you enjoy spectacles this much, why not join me for a lively spectacle!?"

With a furrowed brow, Chen Daoxuan's voice resounded like a resounding bell, echoing for hundreds of miles around.

Upon hearing this, the two Elders of the Holy Mountain exchanged glances.

Could someone be secretly investigating? Yet, within their perceptions, there were no cultivators within a hundred-mile radius!

The Ren family estate prohibited any approach within a hundred miles on regular days.

"Senior Sister, do you hear that? It seems like Master isn't pleased. Should we go out and take a look?"

Bent over, Li Yourong was in the midst of collecting rare treasures at the Ren family's estate when she heard her Master's voice. She suddenly looked up and inquired.

"No, we'd better put away the treasures of the Ren family as soon as possible. Remember, be meticulous, don't miss any valuable treasures. Our Heavenly Dao Pavilion upholds frugality and prudent management!"

Leng Yanran responded nonchalantly without even lifting her head. She had absolute trust in her Master; as long as he was present, nothing unexpected would happen.

Instead of watching the commotion, it was better to swiftly collect the Ren family's treasures!

"Oh, but Yourong feels… um… forget it."

Upon hearing her senior sister talk about the Heavenly Dao Pavilion's emphasis on frugality, Li Yourong blinked slightly. She recalled her first day on the mountain when she had used an entire pool of spirit liquid for a bath… That spirit liquid was even purer than what she had consumed within the Holy Mountain. Before coming here, she could only use a small bottle or even half a bottle during breakthroughs.

Was their Master's Heavenly Dao Pavilion really that frugal?

"Senior, what is this?" The Great Elder hesitated for a moment before cautiously asking.

"Hmph, running away? You've enjoyed the spectacle, and now you want to escape without paying the entrance fee?"

Chen Daoxuan ignored the Great Elder, instead furrowing his brow and snorting coldly. With a casual wave of his hand towards the empty space, he made a pulling motion.

Thump.

Four figures suddenly fell to the ground at Chen Daoxuan's feet.
