101: A slap is just the beginning

“Whoever blew up the Cultivation Chamber, I curse her to become uglier and uglier, her chest flatter and flatter, and all her hair to fall out... May she be struck dead by lightning during her Undergoing Tribulation, and in her next life, be reborn as a sow, giving birth to twenty or thirty piglets a year...”

Long Aotian, standing in the pit, began to speak, and his first words were curses, growing increasingly unpleasant.

The others grew more and more uneasy as they listened, but since they weren't the ones who blew up the Cultivation Chamber, they weren't particularly unhappy. Instead, they wore expressions of schadenfreude, praying the culprit was present, as that would make things very interesting.

“...”

Wu Xin also grew increasingly uneasy. Unlike the others' schadenfreude, her heart was in turmoil as she listened, her face alternating between green and purple.

Her reaction had been under Long Aotian's close scrutiny.

Long Aotian was once again absolutely certain that she was the one who wanted to kill him!

After being continuously cursed by Long Aotian for several minutes, Wu Xin finally couldn't hold back and roared in anger:

“Enough!”

“...”

The others immediately all looked at Wu Xin, their hearts inexplicably becoming wary. Could the person who blew up the Cultivation Chamber be this woman?

Long Aotian couldn't help but sneer inwardly. This was exactly the effect he wanted. He had thought this woman would continue to endure, acting like a shrinking turtle, but he didn't expect her to lose her temper after only a minute or two of cursing.

Facts proved that his judgment was correct; he hadn't wronged an innocent person.

“What grievances do I have with you? Why do you want to kill me?”

Long Aotian asked Wu Xin, his expression calm.

Although his face was calm, his heart was already filled with extreme anger. This woman had used a Level Ten Explosive Talisman to kill him. If he weren't an extraordinary Cultivator, he might have truly died in the explosion of the Level Ten Explosive Talisman.

How could he not be angry?

However, despite his anger, Long Aotian hadn't completely lost his reason. He believed that there was no baseless hatred; if the other party wanted to kill him, there must be a reason.

He really wanted to know what that reason was!

Or rather, was she a member of the Shi Family or the Fire Cloud Sect?

These were all just guesses!

“Hmph, young man, I have to say, you are indeed very clever, but what use is cleverness? In the end, you still can't escape death!”

At this moment, Wu Xin finally understood that this young man was deliberately provoking her, and she had indeed fallen into his trap, which made her feel very annoyed.

To actually fall for a child's trick!

“Slap!”

However, what angered her even more was yet to come. After Long Aotian confirmed it was her, he didn't intend to waste any more time with her. With a flash, moving at extreme speed, he directly struck her face.

“Bang!”

Wu Xin had absolutely not expected Long Aotian to dare to attack her. For a moment, she had no defense and didn't react, taking a solid slap from Long Aotian across her face. The force was so domineering that it sent her flying dozens of meters, crashing into the wall.

“He who kills, shall be killed!”

Long Aotian looked at Wu Xin with a cold face: “This is just interest. If you provoke Long Aotian, I will teach you what regret means!”

“...You actually dared to hit this Venerable One?”

Wu Xin was stunned for a while before finally regaining her senses. Touching her burning right cheek, her eyes nearly spitting fire, she glared at Long Aotian. She, Wu Xin, had never suffered such an insult. It was foreseeable that her left cheek would definitely swell up like a pig's head. The power of that slap was terrifying; it almost blew her head apart.

Fortunately, her strength was formidable, and her Physical Body was even more formidable than her strength, so she was fine after taking a slap.

“What's wrong with hitting you? This young Revered Master is going to kill you!”

Long Aotian couldn't help but sneer, looking at Wu Xin as if she were an idiot. This foolish woman was going to kill him, and she still wouldn't allow him to slap her?

This slap was just the beginning!

Next, Wu Xin would have plenty to suffer.

However, inwardly, Long Aotian was also a bit solemn. This Wu Xin was a Tribulation Transcendence Realm Sixth Turn Middle Stage expert. Killing her would not be easy.

His Void Formation had only been upgraded to Level Eight. Although killing Mahayana Realm experts was like slaughtering dogs, trying to kill Tribulation Transcendence Realm experts was very difficult.

Tribulation Transcendence Realm experts were people who had survived Lightning Tribulations and were alive and well. Their Physical Body strength was far superior to Cultivators below the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. He could contend with them for a bit, but to kill them? It was too difficult, unless the Void Formation was upgraded to Level Nine.

Especially since Wu Xin was not an ordinary Tribulation Transcendence Realm expert, but a Tribulation Transcendence Realm Sixth Turn Middle Stage expert.

“Hiss!! She is, the Grand Elder of Nine Heavens Immortal Palace, who fought the four Tribulation Transcendence Realm Middle Stage foundational experts of Cloud Palace and the Imperial Family in the Thunder Dragon Mountain Range for over three months half a year ago?!”

Someone recognized Wu Xin, revealing her identity in one sentence.

“Hiss!! It's actually her? Now, Long Aotian is in trouble! Unless his Revered Master appears, even Long Jing Tian won't be able to save him!”

“She has no grievances with Long Aotian. Why does she want to kill Long Aotian? It feels very strange.”

“It is a bit strange. I heard that Family Head Feng's daughter, Feng Zixian, is also the Saintess of their Nine Heavens Immortal Palace, and Feng Zixian has a marriage contract with Long Aotian... Hiss! Could it be that she wants to kill Long Aotian, hoping to break off the marriage contract between their Saintess and Long Aotian?”

“Hiss!! That's possible...”

“...”

“...”

Long Aotian was also stunned upon hearing the other Cultivators discussing in a flurry of voices.

So the crux was here!

This woman named Wu Xin, in front of him, was the Grand Elder of Nine Heavens Immortal Palace. Feng Zixian had become the Saintess of Nine Heavens Immortal Palace. Was Wu Xin killing him on her own initiative, wanting to help Feng Zixian sever her ties with the Mortal World?

At this moment, Long Aotian was also enraged!

He was almost certain that killing him was definitely not Feng Zixian's intention; it must be this Grand Elder named Wu Xin's own decision.

Why?

Naturally, if Feng Zixian wanted to break off the engagement and sever her ties with him, she wouldn't need to kill him. Previously, because he couldn't Cultivate, he had gone with his father to the Feng Family to annul the engagement. If Feng Zixian wanted to break off the engagement and sever her ties with the Mortal World, there was really no need to be so extreme towards him, not to mention that the Long and Phoenix Families were old acquaintances... What Long Aotian couldn't understand was how Feng Zixian got involved with the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace of the Western Continent and even became their Saintess?

“...”

Upon hearing everyone reveal her identity, Wu Xin's expression also changed slightly. She hadn't expected to be so famous, even without showing her face much since coming to the Eastern Barrens, with some even recognizing her.

“Does my marriage with Feng Zixian bother you? Or is this the decision of your Nine Heavens Immortal Palace?”

Long Aotian looked at Wu Xin coldly and asked.

Although he had guessed that this might be Wu Xin's personal decision, he still didn't rule out the possibility that it was the will of Nine Heavens Immortal Palace.

Hmph!

If it was the will of Nine Heavens Immortal Palace, he wouldn't mind going to the Western Continent to destroy Nine Heavens Immortal Palace. Any outsider who dared to interfere with his marriage deserved to die, unless Feng Zixian herself wanted to break off the engagement with him.

“A dying person, why know so much?”

Wu Xin looked at Long Aotian as if he were a corpse and said: “But since you asked, I'll tell you, it won't hurt to let you die a clear-minded ghost. This Venerable One doesn't know what Nine Heavens Immortal Palace means, but this Venerable One wants to kill you! Especially now!”

“Very good!”

Learning that it wasn't Nine Heavens Immortal Palace that wanted to kill him, but this woman's self-made decision, Long Aotian couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. If one could avoid being an enemy of a Giant Cultivation Faction, who would be so bored as to become their enemy?

Long Aotian had also learned about Nine Heavens Immortal Palace from Ao Zhan's memories. State-Level Giant Cultivation Factions or sub-continental Giant Cultivation Factions had strength comparable to the Heavenly Pool Empire's Imperial Family, and were extremely powerful.

“Now, you can go to hell!”

“Hmph, want to kill me? Go reincarnate first!”

Seeing Wu Xin charge over, Long Aotian flashed, appearing nearly ten thousand miles away...
