Chapter 475: Su Chen Takes Action

Chapter 475: Su Chen Takes Action

October 30, 2024

This person was a close guard of the Yue Xi Mountain Peak Master, an expert in interrogation and torture techniques.

"Conduct a thorough interrogation and extract the truth from him."

"Don't hold back. Even if he dies, it's no big deal."

"Also, start with that young man first."

"I noticed he remained the calmest throughout the night. He doesn't seem to be the least bit flustered."

"The stubborn ones like him are the best to make an example of."

"Even if we don't get any information, it will set a precedent for the other three."

The Yue Xi Mountain Peak Master waved his hand, indicating to the guard that he could proceed.

The three people beside Su Chen still had terrified expressions on their faces.

But upon hearing that Su Chen would be tortured first, they felt slightly more at ease.

Su Chen, however, remained composed and walked forward a few steps.

He turned to look at Wang Tianming.

Wang Tianming's face remained cold and indifferent, giving no response to Su Chen.

It seemed that he no longer intended to keep his earlier promise.

From the beginning, he had never taken the idea of going to the Dongtian Fudi for cultivation seriously.

Seeing this, Su Chen turned his gaze towards Wu Changsheng.

Earlier, he had refrained from taking Wu Changsheng's life to avoid causing more trouble.

But now, in the Inner Mountain, Wu Changsheng had brought trouble upon himself.

For Su Chen, too much time had already been wasted, and he couldn't afford to delay any longer.

Although he didn't know the abilities of the top experts of Yue Xi Mountain, based on what he had seen and heard, the martial artists here didn't seem that formidable.

Even if he provoked a huge disaster, he believed he could still protect himself.

"Let me give you a hint. Re-interrogate the Eternal Victory Immortal of Moonless Mountain."

Su Chen looked at the Yue Xi Mountain Peak Master.

But the Peak Master acted as if he hadn't heard a word, remaining seated and waiting for his guard to interrogate Su Chen.

Wu Changsheng, standing behind, had a hint of smugness in his eyes, as if boasting about his methods.

However, the guard suddenly stopped.

He stood not far from Su Chen, motionless.

After a while, seeing that the guard still hadn't taken any action, Meng Wang couldn't hold back any longer.

"Why are you standing there? The Peak Master hasn't said anything. Just proceed with the torture. Don't pay any attention to what this disciple says."

Although they were vice-peak masters, they didn't have the authority to reprimand the Peak Master's guards.

But Meng Wang was getting impatient, wanting to see if harsher methods would yield any information.

However, even after he spoke, the guard remained unmoving.

This unusual situation finally caught the attention of those around them.

"What are you doing? Why aren't you taking action?"

The Yue Xi Mountain Peak Master frowned and stood up, walking towards the guard.

The guard was wearing heavy armor that concealed his body.

The Peak Master removed the guard's helmet, only to find that his entire face was swollen and red.

The guard exerted all his strength to move his body and tried to speak, but to no avail.

Seeing this, the faces of those nearby changed instantly.

They turned back to look at Su Chen, and the Peak Master's expression turned solemn.

In the blink of an eye, the Yue Xi Mountain Peak Master brandished a long spear and thrust it towards Su Chen.

Su Chen was somewhat capable, reacting swiftly.

Most of the onlookers were startled to see their Peak Master take action.

But soon, they settled into a spectator's mindset.

Wang Tianming, at the center of the event, was taken by surprise. He hadn't expected the Peak Master to act so suddenly.

Earlier, when discussing with Wu Changsheng, Wu Changsheng had indeed mentioned that there was a capable disciple among them.

Wang Tianming had thought that with some capability, this matter would seem more genuine.

But he hadn't anticipated that it would provoke their own Peak Master to take action.

This unexpected turn made him uneasy.

However, what followed immediately made him even more uneasy.

The current Yue Xi Mountain Peak Master was known as the strongest among all past Peak Masters.

He had even stepped down from his position to focus solely on martial cultivation.

Yet, the thrust of the long spear was directly caught by Su Chen, who grabbed the spear shaft.

At the same time, the Yue Xi Mountain Peak Master felt an overwhelming pressure bearing down on him.

In this realm, there were only a few who could match him in combat.

But now, he felt as if he had lost all ability to retaliate.

Every move required more effort.

With a single palm strike, the Yue Xi Mountain Peak Master, the lord of a sect, was sent flying and crashed into the wall, shattering it.

This sudden turn of events left everyone present stunned.

Their Peak Master had just been thrown away!

And the one who had done this was seemingly a young disciple they had never taken seriously.

Moments ago, they had wanted to subject Su Chen to harsh torture and interrogation.

In the face of Su Chen's example, the others were left speechless.

But in an instant, the situation took a dramatic turn.

Under the gaze of the onlookers, Su Chen approached the Peak Master of Yue Xi Mountain.

Reaching out, he picked up the Peak Master and tossed him onto the empty ground beside them.

As the Peak Master fell to the ground, everyone around them trembled in unison.

The expressions of astonishment on their faces transformed into sheer terror.

Wang Tianming's face, in particular, displayed a rich array of emotions.

He had meticulously planned everything, believing his scheme to be foolproof.

As a strategist, he had calculated every move.

In this situation, Wang Tianming should have been invincible.

Yet at this moment, the chess pieces in his eyes seemed even more powerful than him, the strategist.

His carefully laid plans had spiraled out of control.

The most desperate person at this moment was none other than Wu Changsheng.

Su Chen had just made a move against the Peak Master of Yue Xi Mountain, and it took only one technique.

With that single move, he had crushed the Peak Master.

In his eyes, the Peak Master stood tall, capable of deciding the fate of everyone.

But in front of Su Chen, he was nothing more than a Sixth Stage Perfect Realm cultivator.

It was only when Su Chen saw him take action that he realized the Peak Master's true strength.

Here, he was already at the pinnacle of his power.

If the Sect Master possessed such strength outside, he would be considered insignificant.

Wu Changsheng had always misjudged Su Chen's abilities.

He knew Su Chen had the capability and talent to injure him, leaving him powerless to retaliate.

Such strength, when possessed by a young cultivator, was undoubtedly exceptional.

However, Wu Changsheng had never imagined that Su Chen had exchanged several techniques with him.

On the contrary, against the Peak Master of Yue Xi Mountain, it took only one move to subdue him.

Whether they had expected it or not, they were all witnessing it now.

Su Chen's true strength far surpassed everyone present.

He was not even on the same level as them.

"Can you listen to my advice now?

Bring Wu Changsheng here for interrogation, and let him explain the whole situation to you."

Amidst the silence, Su Chen spoke again.

The nearby guard who had just taken action was quite clever.

He didn't bother asking for others' opinions or waiting for instructions from the upper echelons of Yue Xi Mountain.

As soon as he could move, he immediately went to fetch Wu Changsheng.

Then, he began to subject Wu Changsheng to his torturous punishments.

Although martial artists possessed enhanced physical strength, they were not immune to pain.

The thoughts of panic and terror began to rise.

Wu Changsheng had initially wanted to rely on Wang Tianming, but now, even the Peak Master of Yue Xi Mountain couldn't be trusted.

"It was Wang Tianming who conspired with me, it was him, it was definitely him.

I did it for revenge, to settle the grudge in my heart.

The injuries I suffered were not inflicted by Wang Tianming, I'm telling the truth."

Wu Changsheng's face turned deathly pale; this time, he was genuinely afraid.

He felt like his life was hanging by a thread.

Compared to the suffering he endured at Su Chen's hands earlier, Wu Changsheng was now completely engulfed by fear.

The last time Su Chen had struck, Wu Changsheng knew he had the backing of Yue Xi Mountain.

If Su Chen dared to harm him, Yue Xi Mountain would not let him off easily.

But today, Su Chen didn't need to worry about Yue Xi Mountain at all.

Whether he could be spared or not, what did it matter?

The Peak Master of Yue Xi Mountain, the strongest among them, had met the same fate when facing Su Chen.

What was there for Su Chen to fear?

In front of others, Wu Changsheng explained his plans with Wang Tianming in great detail.

He revealed numerous specifics, essentially proving that his words were true.

Today's events were all part of their scheme.

The injuries inflicted by Su Chen served as further evidence.

Even before they had a chance to interrogate Wu Changsheng, he had already confessed everything.

Su Chen glanced around at the others.

At this moment, upon hearing these words, they didn't experience the sudden realization of the truth.

In this situation, the people of Yue Xi Mountain didn't care about uncovering the truth.

What they were concerned about was Su Chen.

How should they deal with this person who could effortlessly defeat their Peak Master?

When faced with an enemy like Su Chen, they naturally had no time to worry about anything else.

The three disciples who had come with Su Chen also realized his true strength at this moment.

Their initial worries began to dissipate as Su Chen demonstrated his power.

The three of them even took small steps backward, gradually moving away from the crowd.

In fact, their movements were not subtle, and many people noticed their attempts to distance themselves.

Surrounded by so many guards, not one of them tried to stop them.

"Vice Peak Master Wang, I'm going to Yue Xi Mountain's Heavenly Paradise now.

Can you make it happen?"

Seeing that no one responded, no one seemed to care about today's events.

Su Chen decided to directly state his purpose.

Upon hearing Su Chen's question, Wang Tianming furrowed his brows, deep in thought.

As Su Chen struck with a palm strike, it directly damaged the foundation of the person it landed on.

Wang Tianming, who was sent flying, continued to spew blood even after falling to the ground.

"I've given you great tolerance, and I don't care how you play this game.

But if you can't keep your promise and still want to manipulate the pieces, then I'm sorry."

Su Chen turned around and looked at Meng Wang, the Deputy Peak Master.

"Deputy Peak Master Meng, I want to go to the Heavenly Paradise of Yue Xi Mountain. Is there a problem?"

"No problem, if it's convenient for you, we can set off immediately."

This time, Meng Wang didn't hesitate at all and immediately agreed to Su Chen's request.

Seeing this, Su Chen also nodded.

He turned around and looked at the people around him.

After some thought, Su Chen activated the Chaos Poison Technique.

Su Chen had never used this technique in front of others.

Usually, it was a technique used to defend against external poisons.

But today, Su Chen gathered the poisonous mist.

He walked towards the Peak Master of Yue Xi Mountain and the two other Elders.

He sprayed the poisonous mist towards them.

He turned around and also left some for Meng Wang.

"Don't think of any sinister tricks. After I've passed through the Heavenly Paradise, if everything is normal, I'll immediately remove the poison for you."

Su Chen's actions caused the high-ranking members of Yue Xi Mountain to feel hatred, but they could only suppress it in their hearts.

Su Chen was quite calm about this.

These high-ranking members of Yue Xi Mountain had been quite harsh towards him earlier.

They demanded to impose severe punishment on him.

Since this was the case, Su Chen didn't hold back when he returned.

"Also, the severe punishment that should be given to Wu Changsheng, give it to him.

I really dislike this person; he's caused a lot of trouble."

Su Chen's words now carried more weight than those of the Peak Master of Yue Xi Mountain.

The nearby guard immediately stepped forward, taking out two needles as thick as a little finger.

He directly pierced them into Wu Changsheng's ankles.

The intense pain that penetrated the bones caused Wu Changsheng to scream miserably.

Su Chen watched as the guard used several methods before moving forward with Meng Wang.

At this moment, the sky had completely brightened.

Overnight, the entire Yue Xi Mountain seemed to have undergone a great transformation.

As Meng Wang led the way, he occasionally glanced at Su Chen with his peripheral vision.

He was thinking and calculating.

The strength Su Chen displayed was enough to make the high-ranking members of Yue Xi Mountain hesitate to face him alone.

But Yue Xi Mountain had its foundations, and it wasn't just about these methods.

If the control of Yue Xi Mountain was handed over like this, Meng Wang wouldn't be satisfied.

But during this journey, Su Chen spoke first.

"Rest assured, I have no interest in your Yue Xi Mountain.

My sect is far stronger than yours.

I came here only to seek an opportunity in the Heavenly Paradise.

I originally had no intention of getting involved in your internal strife.

Whoever among you can reach the position of Peak Master, I don't care.

I just want to follow the rules and get the benefits I deserve.

Unfortunately, the people here have simply treated me as a fool.

Reaching this step is your own fault."

Su Chen's explanation was very sincere and direct.

However, it didn't convince Meng Wang.

Seeing this, Su Chen's tone became much colder.

"I'll also be frank with you. I've also studied the art of mechanisms to some extent.

On the way here, you led me past three mechanism traps.

If there's another time, I won't hold back.

The poison I've applied to you, it's best not to underestimate it.

You might not feel any problems now, but it's just a matter of time.

Without the antidote, your strength will completely dissipate.

You might keep your life, but those who hold a grudge against you won't let go of this chance to strike at you."

Meng Wang's face turned pale as Su Chen saw through his plan to use mechanisms against him.

For the rest of the journey, Meng Wang behaved honestly.

They headed south, and the place they eventually reached was surprisingly close to where Su Chen had come from.

The Heavenly Paradise of Yue Xi Mountain was not actually located in Yue Xi Mountain.

Meng Wang led Su Chen around two dangerous peaks and arrived at a mechanism-sealed entrance.

Meng Wang held a stone key and opened the entrance.

A violent turbulent stream gushed out instantly.

Meng Wang, the Deputy Peak Master, quickly ran away to a distant location and stood at a high point, wanting to observe Su Chen's condition.

But under this turbulent stream, Su Chen still didn't react as Meng Wang had expected.

His body felt uncomfortable and awkward.

Instead, he walked towards the entrance, sensing the impact of the turbulent stream.

Seeing this, Meng Wang's thoughts of plotting completely vanished.
