Chapter 142.2 : How Exalted Is His Status (Part 2)
There was not the slightest ripple of emotion stirred by Elder Qian's appearance.
Chu Ge glanced at Yuan Jue in mild surprise.
Speaking of which, ever since this coldly beautiful female assassin in night attire—with her fiery figure—had seen him, something about her gaze had felt… off.
It was friendly to an almost excessive degree.
Could it be that he possessed some hidden succubus-like constitution?
Chu Ge mused briefly—but upon thinking of his own appearance, he immediately felt at ease.
Whether or not he had any succubus traits was uncertain, but his face alone was far more lethal than any such constitution.
Chu Ge didn't dwell on why Yuan Jue was willing to make such a great sacrifice for him.
Yet her words caused his impression of this cold beauty assassin to improve even further.
It was just that Yuan Jue only possessed a diary instance, and no "favorability system."
Otherwise, at this very moment, a voice would likely be sounding in her mind:
[Ding! Target Chu Ge's favorability toward you has increased!]
Hearing Yuan Jue's words, Lin Kang let out a savage grin.
"Run?! Today, not a single one of you will escape! Obediently surrender yourselves and allow this City Lord to present you to that great person—that is your destined fate!"
Elder Qian did not speak again, but the heat in his eyes was unmistakable.
As he looked at Chu Ge and the others, it was as though he were staring at extremely valuable prey—clearly harboring the same thoughts as Lin Kang.
Only now did Chu Ge fully understand the meaning behind their earlier undisguised, burning gazes.
So they had taken him for prey—something to be exchanged for cultivation resources.
That was… truly—
Exceptionally infuriating!
"Sister Qingjue, I'll trouble you to take action. Just leave that man alive."
Chu Ge looked toward Ying Qingjue, who had already knitted her brows in displeasure, and then pointed at Lin Kang.
"There's no trouble at all. Still, the way those two are looking at you really does make me uncomfortable," Ying Qingjue replied, her gaze turning icy as it fell upon Elder Qian and Lin Kang.
"Putting on airs! Submit to this seat at once!"
Elder Qian sneered disdainfully, his spiritual energy surging violently.
He spread his hand and clenched it in the air—high above, an enormous hand of spiritual energy condensed, vast enough to blot out the sky, reaching down to seize Chu Ge and the other two in one motion!
"Inhale… exhale."
Facing this terrifying giant hand, Chu Ge's expression remained unchanged.
Ying Qingjue drew in a breath—and then gently breathed upward.
It appeared to be nothing more than an ordinary breath.
Yet what burst forth from Ying Qingjue's lips was an unimaginably terrifying storm, formed entirely of pure spiritual energy!
The storm raged, and in an instant, blew the massive hand into nothingness!
At that moment, the entire Tianyuan City seemed to tremble beneath this spiritual tempest!
Several Fourth and Third Heaven Realm cultivators from the City Lord's manor were sent reeling, unable to control their bodies under the direct impact of the storm.
Countless others were caught up and swept into it—their fates all but sealed.
Only a few sharp-eyed, cautious individuals had frowned early on and retreated to the rear of the crowd.
Throughout Tianyuan City, the violent disturbance caused countless people to be jolted awake, staring toward the sky with faces full of shock and uncertainty!
"This… this is impossible?!"
Elder Qian's expression turned utterly blank, his entire being sinking into an indescribable terror.
To cause such a vast surge of spiritual energy—and even create a phenomenon affecting an entire city—with nothing more than a single breath…
A Great Power!
Without question, this incomparably beautiful, godlike woman before him was a Great Power!
As for anything beyond that…
He did not even dare to think further!
And yet such a Great Power was willing to follow the young man's lead—her tone even tinged with intimacy and indulgence…
Just what kind of exalted existence was this young man, really?!
