As Jiang Xu's words fell, the main hall suddenly became silent.
Chen Changsheng paused in tearing at the demon beast meat, his eyes turning cold as he raised his head, staring directly at Jiang Xu.
At that moment, the atmosphere within the hall seemed to plunge into freezing point, but the air temperature soared, as if a savage dragon and a fire phoenix had awakened, exuding a terrifying aura!
"Are you questioning me?"
"Who do you think you are, to be qualified to question me?"
"Do you think you are the Dao Lord of the Ancient Immortal lineage, or the City Lord of Taiping City? Or perhaps a great power of the Immortal Cultivation World?"
"You actually dare to ask me for something? You're probably not clear on your own position!"
Chen Changsheng stood up, his gaze icy, a true phoenix phantom appearing on his Daoist robe, and scorching flames rising beneath his feet.
He swept his gaze around the crowd and said coldly, "Do you all think the same as him?"
Zhen Yue's expression stiffened, and she hurriedly waved her hand, "Elder Chen, calm down, Daoist Jiang just misspoke, we don't mean it that way…"
"That's exactly what we mean!"
Feng Yuanzhen interrupted with a fake smile, "We believe that the Longevity Method in your hands should be contributed to the entire Ancient Immortal lineage, instead of being hidden away."
"There's no need to force the issue, right?"
Zhen Yue's expression was somewhat bewildered; she did want Chen Changsheng to contribute the Longevity Method, but she hadn't planned to seize it by force!
If he was willing to offer it, everyone would be happy; if he wasn't, it wouldn't matter, as it was his own opportunity and Dao technique.
But now, both Jiang Xu and Feng Yuanzhen were behaving too aggressively, as if they were about to start fighting and snatch it at any moment.
This was different from what she had expected!
They were all group members and elders of the Ancient Immortal lineage; there was no need to become enemies over a Longevity Method, right?
Besides, this was Taiping City; if they fought, their second-generation elders would only suffer losses.
"Hahahaha, Elder Chen, don't be nervous, Daoist Jiang, don't be agitated either. Everyone is an elder of the Ancient Immortal lineage; there's no need to make things so tense."
Zhang Shaoyuan smoothed things over with a smile, but a faint light flickered in his eyes.
Chen Changsheng directly threw the beast bone in his hand, which struck Zhang Shaoyuan's true qi barrier with a whoosh, turning into dust and dissipating.
Exposed, Zhang Shaoyuan no longer concealed himself, directly roared, and took out a pitch-black array flag, inserting it into the ground.
He had indeed used pupil techniques just now, trying to subtly influence Chen Changsheng, but he hadn't expected to be seen through at a glance.
Since that was the case, he would go all in!
Buzz!
The formation instantly enveloped the main hall; Chen Changsheng's expression changed slightly upon seeing this, and he activated his Void Art at the first moment, preparing to leave.
However, after he saw the formation's patterns clearly, he knew there was no hope of leaving and took out the Ancient Immortal Token, activating it.
The formation activated by Zhang Shaoyuan was a Rank Six Teleportation Array!
It activated extremely quickly, capable of instantly teleporting people out of Taiping City.
These second-generation elders had come prepared and had planned a forceful seizure from the start; otherwise, they wouldn't have prepared such a grand scheme.
Outside the main hall, a pure white and flawless figure flew over at top speed, slashing down directly at the Dragon Tiger Manor's reception hall with a sword.
Just as her sword qi landed, the entire main hall lit up with dazzling array patterns, disappearing from her sight in the blink of an eye.
Rumble!
Sword qi raged and rampaged, and the surrounding buildings were reduced to dust. Many Dragon Tiger Manor cultivators were affected by the Dao technique and fell head over heels.
The sudden attack enraged the Manor Lord and elders of the Dragon Tiger Manor.
But when they flew out and saw that it was Luo Liuxi, their expressions tightened.
The Manor Lord of the Dragon Tiger Manor asked with a gloomy face, "Dao Lord, what is the meaning of this? Why are you attacking our Dragon Tiger Manor?"
Luo Liuxi didn't waste words with him, raising her hand and striking out with a palm.
The Manor Lord of the Dragon Tiger Manor fell to the ground like a shooting star; the irresistible pressure of the Dao technique directly caused him to cough up blood and nearly faint.
Including all the cultivators present, they were all suppressed to the ground by this Dao technique pressure.
Luo Liuxi's attitude was tyrannical, and she shouted sternly in an icy tone, "The Dragon Tiger Manor attacked an elder of the Ancient Immortal lineage! Men! Take them all down for interrogation!"
Whoosh!
A large number of cultivators from the City Lord's Mansion and the Demon Suppression Division suddenly poured out from the city streets, quickly surrounding the entire Dragon Tiger Manor.
A group of people rushed into the manor, suppressing and taking away everyone, regardless of gender or age, with extreme efficiency, leaving the gawking commoner cultivators speechless.
Luo Liuxi took out the Ancient Immortal Token, confirmed Chen Changsheng's location, and her figure transformed into a stream of light, flying out of Taiping City.
Chen Changsheng's qi and blood transformed into a dragon, his true fire condensed into a phoenix, golden-red arm rings appearing on his arms, and he held a battle halberd, confronting five second-generation elders.
"Esteemed Elders, please stop! I believe this matter is inappropriate!"
Zhen Yue hovered between the two, a wave of light rippling behind her, anxiously trying to dissuade the opposing sides.
"Elder Chen, please calm down. I believe that both sides don't need to take this step. Daoist Jiang and Daoist Zhang, please apologize to Elder Chen."
Nalan Hongjing spoke softly, her cold and beautiful face showing no emotion.
"Apologize for what? Treating him as important is why we call him Elder Chen. He's just a Core Formation stage cultivator with inferior aptitude, what's so great about him?"
"Quickly capture him, don't waste time!"
Jiang Xu formed hand seals, and surging true qi surged.
A black and white Dao technique domain suddenly unfolded, instantly covering a hundred miles, turning everything around into black and white.
With a casual grab, the pitch-black color transformed into a spear in his hand, rushing straight towards Chen Changsheng with a chilling killing intent.
As Jiang Xu moved, the pitch-black color in the domain suddenly condensed together, as if everything was obeying his command.
At the moment of collision, golden phoenix true fire ignited in the black and white!
Chen Changsheng's battle halberd unleashed a dragon-elephant rushing phantom.
"Since you've chosen to attack, then all of you shall stay behind!"
Accompanied by the transmission of a deafening roar, the dragon-elephant phantom shattered the black and white Dao technique, leaving a river of brightly colored true fire in its wake.
The collision of the two waves of Dao technique domains tore out pitch-black lines, like intensely flickering lightning.
Spear and halberd clashed, and Dao techniques flowed.
The roaring sound was deafening, and the violent true qi energy spread in layers.
Feng Yuanzhen grinned, and at the moment of the two's confrontation, he casually threw out a large number of talismans, transforming into gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, and other attribute Dao techniques, sweeping towards Chen Changsheng.
"Sorry, Elder Chen, but you chose this yourself." Zhang Shaoyuan gently stroked his fingertip across the blade, causing a Dao technique rainbow to appear.
A single sword strike unleashed ten thousand sword qi, densely packed like countless falling crescent moons.
Nalan Hongjing, who had remained calm from beginning to end, immediately strode out, leaving behind a patch of red clouds, and her beautiful figure disappeared into the heavens and earth.
Seeing that the two sides had directly started fighting, Zhen Yue's pretty face was solemn, and she blocked Chen Changsheng without any hesitation.
"Elder Chen, I'll help you!"
"Just block Feng Yuanzhen's talismans for me."
Chen Changsheng's tone was confident, and an unspeakable energy fluctuation erupted from his body!
The Nine-Bend Yellow Spring Sword, Yin-Yang Cauldron, and Bronze Mirror flew out at the same time, smashing towards Zhang Shaoyuan and the hidden Nalan Hongjing.
