Chapter 79: Sound Slumber and the Call of "Master"
As the final member of the Ren Family's incoming group was killed, Chen Daoxuan gained a total of over 70,000 system points this time!
It could be said that he was momentarily overflowing with wealth. If not for a few matters that needed his attention, he would have wanted to return to the Illusory Void Mountain sooner and raise his cultivation to the Void Sky Realm!
Originally, the 10,000 system points needed to break through to the Void Sky Realm made Chen Daoxuan feel like it was a hefty sum. But now, it seemed... Heh heh, just a drop in the bucket!
As long as his disciples earned some merit, attracted some benevolent and kind-hearted people, who would worry about running out of system points? By then, he wouldn't just be upgrading his cultivation; even Pangu's Opening Heaven Axe could be exchanged from the system!
"Tsk, that was close. Battling against these powerhouses, it's indeed not easy."
After digesting his joy, Chen Daoxuan couldn't help but mutter involuntarily. Hearing this comment, everyone present felt their mouths twitching, as if afflicted with some strange illness.
Not easy?
They couldn't fathom where Chen Daoxuan found things not easy! The Ren Family Head hadn't even finished introducing himself when he was lifted up and directly terminated, earning him the moniker of "Ren Uh." People in the Northern Domain still had no knowledge of his true name.
The Ren Family Patriarch, after struggling to use the Five Elements Formation, barely managed to utter, "Hot!" From beginning to end, apart from his actions against the Ren Family Patriarch, Chen Daoxuan had simply waved the black and yellow ruler lightly towards the Ren Family members!
After the Ren Family Patriarch managed to survive thanks to the help of the Four Elders, he still ended up having his heart scooped out! Seriously! How was this close?! How was this not easy?!
Everyone felt like a herd of alpacas had stampeded through their minds. Yet, not a single one dared to speak; after all, the shock Chen Daoxuan had dealt them was far too powerful! It was a hundred times more horrifying than when Leng Yanran exterminated the Luo Heavenly Sect!
"Master, are you tired?" Upon hearing her master's words, Leng Yanran asked with concern.
"It's not that, it's just that I let some personal feelings slip into my actions just now. Plus, I have to make sure not to get blood on my clothes, which is quite bothersome…"
Chen Daoxuan said earnestly. Upon hearing this, those present stumbled again… So this is what he meant by "bothersome"! It turned out he didn't give a damn about the Ren Family's reputation!
Chen Daoxuan didn't mind the reactions of those present, instead, he checked the time of this arrival. After dealing with the Ren Family, six and a half minutes had passed. It wouldn't take much longer for this clone's ten minutes to elapse.
He headed toward the people of the Holy Mountain, wearing a benevolent smile. However, for some reason, the three elders of the Holy Mountain felt a chill run down their spines when they saw Chen Daoxuan's seemingly kind smile.
They had an uncontrollable urge to protect their hearts with their hands…
"Is there anything you need, senior?"
The Grand Elder bowed slightly, asking with great respect. His attitude was vastly different from before! When facing Chen Daoxuan earlier, both the people of the Holy Mountain and the master of the Xiaoyao Palace had a sense of pride belonging to the Eastern Domain.
They believed that even if Chen Daoxuan were a Divinity Separation Realm expert like them, he still wouldn't be their match. At the very least, in terms of heritage, techniques, and even magical treasures, he couldn't compare to them, the people of the Eastern Domain!
But after witnessing the tragic fate of the Ren Family, they realized how wrong they were… Chen Daoxuan's strength made them look up in awe. What was even more terrifying was his character. They had seen decisiveness in killing before, but this was the first time they saw someone treat killing as child's play!
Even every time Chen Daoxuan dispatched an opponent, a faint expression of satisfaction would flash across his face, adding to their panic! However, Chen Daoxuan paid them no mind. He casually waved his hand and signaled them to rise. Then, he looked at Li Shenruo and Li Yourong.
"Shenruo has already received Immortal-tier techniques from Scarlet Cloud Immortal in the Secret Realm. I'm afraid I can't accept your kind offer, senior!"
Li Shenruo, standing nearby, was slightly dazed. Seeing Chen Daoxuan look at her, she thought he was referring to her previous attempt to help, so she quickly replied.
"I'm aware of this matter. You and I have no teacher-student relationship, which is a pity." Upon hearing this, Chen Daoxuan laughed lightly and casually said, "I never put too much thought into it. The most important factor in choosing a disciple is whether I find them pleasing to the eye."
The incident with Leng Yanran being harassed before entering the Secret Realm and Li Shenruo's previous intention to intervene to help had left him somewhat satisfied. That's why he had expressed a desire to take her as his disciple.
However, since she had already obtained Immortal-tier techniques within the Secret Realm and declined his offer to take her as a disciple, Chen Daoxuan naturally wouldn't force the issue. Hearing Chen Daoxuan's words, Li Shenruo inexplicably felt like she had missed out on an immense opportunity. An opportunity that could never be compensated in this lifetime! But when she thought about the fact that she had obtained Immortal-tier techniques, Li Shenruo suppressed the strange feelings in her heart.
"What's your name?"
Chen Daoxuan looked at the woman next to Li Shenruo, who bore some resemblance to her. Both of them could be called ethereal beauties among mortals, but Li Shenruo exuded a certain aloofness. On the other hand, the other woman had a clear and transparent gaze, her big eyes curiously sizing up Chen Daoxuan.
She appeared somewhat silly but incredibly adorable. However, her aptitude was of the rare Saint-tier, and she even possessed a unique constitution! What's most worth mentioning… was that she was truly well-endowed!
"My name is Li Yourong. What's your name? And those guys who wanted to bully that pretty sister just now, did you kill them all? You're really amazing… You're probably even stronger than the Elders!"
Li Yourong blinked her eyes and gazed at Chen Daoxuan with not a hint of fear but rather a touch of admiration. After all, when Leng Yanran was being mistreated by the Ren Family earlier, she had wanted to help as well. But since on her Elder Sister Li Shenrou plight too, the elders hadn't agreed to help, she figured that her efforts would be futile too!
"Heh heh, no, they're all fine. Why would I want to kill people at every turn? As for that old man from the Ren Family, he's quite old, and the drowsiness got to him; he's asleep now. Look, lying there, sleeping so soundly and peacefully."
Seeing Li Yourong's innocent appearance, Chen Daoxuan couldn't help but guiltily scratch his nose, feeling as if he was deceiving a little girl. But, this little girl's name was really fitting—Li Yourong, meaning "capable of accommodating".
"Oh, I see!"
Li Yourong was initially surprised, then she actually nodded in agreement, believing Chen Daoxuan's nonsense!
Witnessing this scene, everyone else felt their temples throbbing. Their hearts had been scooped out, and now their chests even had a gaping hole. How did you two manage to turn a blind eye to everything?
One is telling a blatant lie, and the other believes it just like that! And she's sleeping so soundly…
"Oh right, you haven't told me your name yet!" Li Yourong suddenly realized something and blinked her eyes twice as she asked.
"If you want, you can call me the same thing as that pretty sister. Call me 'Master'."
