Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 901: Chapter 900: The Punishment of Arrogance

”And you!”

Seeing Moo Qinghai remaining silent, Nangong Chenfeng’s gaze swept over Du Yuehui and Yuani Ling once more.

”What do you think you are? Is it your place to offer advice on how I, Nangong Chenfeng, conduct my affairs?”

Nangong Chenfeng said, ”Keep an eye on your own people, shut your mouths, stand here quietly. No one will take you for nonexistent. But if you dare to say anything more, don’t blame me, Nangong Chenfeng, for getting angry!”

Upon hearing this, Yuani Ling and Du Yuehui exchanged looks, their faces extremely unpleasant.

However, this matter originally had nothing to do with them; it was the rash behavior of Chang Yuege, this reckless fool, that started it. They merely offered a perfunctory piece of advice, never imagining it would bring disaster upon themselves.

In the final analysis, this was an affair between the Sword Immortal Tomb and One Slash Palace. Su Han was already dead, the so-called alliance had long since collapsed, and due to the issue of Su Han’s Storage Ring, there was considerable discord. They merely bit their tongues, unwilling to reason further with Nangong Chenfeng.

Chang Yuege did not understand Nangong Chenfeng, but they knew his temperament well. He was essentially a madman; if they argued further for the sake of so-called dignity, it would only cost them dearly.

Thinking of this, they couldn’t help but cast a terrifying look toward Chang Yuege, which made him feel a chilling coldness all over, beads of cold sweat trickling down.

He had truly not expected things to escalate to this point. Based on past occurrences, shouldn’t this have ended quietly?

A few arguments between juniors, saying more or less would hardly matter, but Nangong Chenfeng was unyielding even when he held the advantage.

The masses below fell silent, not daring to discuss any further, fearing they might become entangled.

In truth, everyone understood; if it were old times, Nangong Chenfeng likely would not care. He was, after all, a Dragon Emperor Realm expert, standing high above, seeing many things with detachment. Why would he get angry over mere words?

But this time was different.

Firstly, Chang Yuege insulted not an ordinary disciple of One Slash Palace, but Nangong Yu.

Secondly, the Five Great Super Sects had just besieged Su Han; One Slash Palace sent out numerous powerful figures but failed to protect him, resulting in existing resentment.

Thirdly, knowing how much Nangong Yu cared about Su Han, he still chose to provoke Nangong Yu on this matter. If he didn’t show some restraint in front of so many people, how could One Slash Palace maintain its reputation as a Super Sect?

These reasons prompted Nangong Chenfeng’s anger.

Chang Yuege himself now deeply understood that so-called reason meant nothing: he thought he was right, but in fact, the one with the stronger fist was the truest right.

”Kneel!”

As everyone fell silent, Nangong Yu’s shouted command suddenly echoed.

Chang Yuege gritted his teeth, trembling with fear but still proud, daring not to speak further, his eyes seeking help from Moo Qinghai.

Unexpectedly, Moo Qinghai had already looked away, as if he hadn’t seen anything.

Even if he were clueless, Chang Yuege now understood: Moo Qinghai wouldn’t intervene in this matter.

Moo Qinghai was Sword Immortal Tomb’s strongest in this instance; if he didn’t act, must Chang Yuege truly kneel?

”Humph!”

Seeing him hesitant to kneel, Nangong Chenfeng snorted coldly, his eyes harsh. The pressure from his presence rushed toward Chang Yuege, engulfing him instantaneously.

Chang Yuege spat out blood, his face changing dramatically. He felt that if he didn’t kneel soon, he might be crushed to death by the pressure!

Only then did he finally cease hesitating, falling to his knees with a thud.

”Bow your head!” Nangong Yu demanded coldly.

Chang Yuege’s face contorted with intense hatred. Today he had lost all his pride, completely shattered by Nangong Yu. If this matter returned to Sword Immortal Tomb, how many would deride him?

Reflecting upon it, so what if he were ridiculed?

Nangong Chenfeng’s oppressive presence enveloped him; if he failed to bow, he had no doubt it would crush him to pieces.

Compared to life, what was honor?

But this enmity, Chang Yuege would always remember. Entering Holy Domain of the Demon Immortal next, Nangong Yu too would enter. If they were to meet, he would not let her off lightly!

Although arrogant, Chang Yuege was still resolute. Having reasoned within himself, he began bowing his head without further ado.

”Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The bows resounded heavily. Under numerous gazes, Chang Yuege’s forehead swelled red, nearly breaking.

To a cultivator, this was insignificant, but everyone understood: Chang Yuege’s true injury was to his soul.

”Apologize!”

After he finished bowing, Nangong Yu coldly commanded.

”I’m sorry...” Chang Yuege’s voice rasped, ”I shouldn’t have insulted you, shouldn’t have looked down on you, it’s all my fault!”

He nearly ground his teeth saying this, and his words were laced with hatred.

”Is that all?”

Nangong Yu’s face remained cold, ”It seems you don’t know where your error lies.”

Chang Yuege hesitated, suddenly recalling something, immediately saying, ”I shouldn’t have used Su Han to insult you, nor insulted Su Han!”

Upon hearing this, the icy expression on Nangong Yu’s face somewhat softened, replaced by sorrow.

Afterward, before Nangong Yu could speak, Chang Yuege slapped himself thrice on the face.

Seeing this, Nangong Chenfeng hesitated for a moment, then retracted his oppressive presence, saying, ”You should be glad you didn’t insult Yu’er before the Palace Master.”

With that, he turned away, leading Nangong Yu back to the Soul Slayer Blade of One Slash Palace.

Indeed, he acted honorably; since Chang Yuege met his conditions, he would let this matter go.

Typically, with someone as talented as Chang Yuege, filled with obvious resentment, anyone would think it unwise to free him, for he might come back for revenge.

Yet Nangong Chenfeng kept his word, releasing him.

Reflecting on this, one realized: if Chang Yuege faced further harm, Moo Qinghai might fiercely defend him.

Nangong Chenfeng’s final words caused the crowd to take another astonished breath.

One Slash Palace’s Palace Master? Nangong Duanchen?

Now, here stood a figure of true legend!

Nangong Duanchen was notoriously protective, and himself terrifying, holding command over One Slash Palace.

As Nangong Chenfeng suggested: if it were Nangong Duanchen present, instead of him, Chang Yuege’s punishment would not be so light as mere slaps and bows.
