Chapter 547 545: Do Not Harm the Honored Guest of the Celestial Eagle Sect

No one in all of Hailan City could imagine the severe consequences of offending the Celestial Eagle Sect!

But Luo Tian had done exactly that.

He had threatened an Elder of the Celestial Eagle Sect to his face!

"How arrogant!"

"He's simply courting death!"

The surrounding onlookers all murmured that they had never seen such a brazen person.

Once the Celestial Eagle Sect was angered, no one would be able to save Luo Tian!

The old Clan Leader, however, was overjoyed.

'Luo Tian must be a fool, not knowing the power of the Celestial Eagle Sect!'

Elder Song was slightly stunned.

He had never expected to be threatened like this by a junior!

His expression darkened, but he didn't fly into a rage immediately.

When Luo Tian spoke, he was surprisingly calm and showed no respect for the Elder whatsoever, as if he was supremely confident in his backing!

Elder Song was very curious about the source of Luo Tian's confidence.

"Now, I am going to kill the Purple Scale Race Leader. Anyone who wants to stop me is welcome to try," Luo Tian spoke again.

SWISH!

The Ice Nether Sword appeared in his hand. With a single slash, Luo Tian sent a dark, chilling whirlwind of Sword Qi flying out instantly!

Elder Song and the old Clan Leader were both shocked!

Luo Tian actually did as he said he would!

The nerve of him! To dare to make a killing move against the Purple Scale Race Leader right in front of them!

What shocked them even more was the immense power of Luo Tian's attack. It was nothing like an Attack from someone at the Earth Element Realm Eighth Layer, and they feared the Purple Scale Race Leader wouldn't be able to block it.

"Stop!"

The old Clan Leader roared and charged toward Luo Tian!

Elder Song also flew over. Luo Tian was too arrogant; he had to make a move to display the might of the Celestial Eagle Sect!

"Now, you may make your move," Luo Tian said softly.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The red-faced old man and the middle-aged woman instantly shot out, intercepting the old Clan Leader and Elder Song!

The moment they clashed, the old Clan Leader was knocked back by the middle-aged woman.

Elder Song was also forced back by the red-faced old man!

Looks of horror appeared on both their faces. 'How are Luo Tian's helpers so strong?'

At that very moment, Luo Tian's sword came slashing down, bringing with it a profound sense of danger for the Purple Scale Race Leader!

The Purple Scale Race Leader truly hadn't expected it. Even with his father out of seclusion and an Elder from the Celestial Eagle Sect present, Luo Tian still dared to attack him!

Due to his complacency, by the time he tried to retreat and evade, it was already a step too late.

SCHLICK!

The Purple Scale Race Leader's right leg was sliced off!

"AHHH!"

The Purple Scale Race Leader shrieked in pain!

The members of the Purple Scale Race were terrified, and the onlookers were aghast!

Even with the old Clan Leader and the Celestial Eagle Sect's Elder intervening, Luo Tian had still successfully attacked, and the Purple Scale Race Leader, a cultivator at the Earth Element Realm Ninth Layer, had his leg severed!

It was too ruthless!

Luo Tian raised his sword, preparing to attack again.

"Stop!" Elder Song barked coldly.

This was the Earth and Water Realm, yet Luo Tian's attitude showed he had no respect for him, or for the Celestial Eagle Sect!

Even if Luo Tian had two Celestial Level Martial Artists protecting him!

'But this is the Celestial Eagle Sect's territory. With a single command, who among all the forces in Hailan City would dare to disobey?'

Ignoring Elder Song's rebuke, Luo Tian slashed down with his sword!

Elder Song was utterly enraged and prepared to rally the forces of all of Hailan City!

Just then, the red-faced old man spoke with a faint smile, "I advise you not to act rashly. If you offend the Tai Yuan Sect, your entire Celestial Eagle Sect will be finished!"

"Hmm? What? The Tai Yuan Sect?"

Elder Song's expression froze, a look of astonishment on his face.

The Tai Yuan Sect!

'That was the legendary Overlord Level power from the Broken-star Realm, a supreme and terrifying existence!'

'The Celestial Eagle Sect could call the shots in the Earth and Water Realm, but in front of the Tai Yuan Sect, they probably weren't even worthy of carrying their shoes!'

'Luo Tian is actually from the Tai Yuan Sect?'

Elder Song felt as if a basin of ice water had been poured over him. He stood frozen in place, a chilling fear gripping him!

The old Clan Leader saw Elder Song suddenly freeze.

But he had to save his son!

"You brat, die!"

The True Essence in the old Clan Leader's body erupted, churning the air around him with an overwhelming aura!

SWOOSH!

A brilliant streak of purple light broke through the middle-aged woman's blockade and shot toward Luo Tian with killing intent.

But to the old Clan Leader's surprise, Luo Tian didn't pull back in the face of his attack. Instead, he continued his slash toward the Purple Scale Race Leader.

"No!"

Seeing this, Elder Song couldn't help but scream in alarm!

'If someone from the Tai Yuan Sect dies here, the Celestial Eagle Sect will suffer the consequences!'

He wanted to save Luo Tian, but it was too late.

BOOM!

The brilliant purple light exploded, devouring all matter within a hundred-meter radius!

And below, "No! Save me…"

The Purple Scale Race Leader felt the shadow of death. With one leg severed, his speed and agility were greatly reduced, making it impossible for him to evade Luo Tian's sword!

THWACK!

The Purple Scale Race Leader's screams came to an abrupt end as his head flew into the air.

The many onlookers were utterly shaken!

The great Leader of the Purple Scale Race had died just like that, right before their eyes!

"He's dead," a voice declared from the sky.

A figure appeared at the very edge of the purple explosion!

The old Clan Leader's eyes bulged!

'Luo Tian isn't dead?'

'Even though the attack I just unleashed wasn't at full power—only sixty or seventy percent of it—even a Half-step Celestial Pool Realm expert would be severely injured by a direct hit!'

'Yet Luo Tian had dodged it without him even noticing.'

"Bastard, you actually killed my son!"

The old Clan Leader flew into a rage, veins bulging on his forehead, and charged at Luo Tian once more.

But from behind him, Elder Song's roar suddenly rang out: "Stop right there! Do not harm the honored guest of the Celestial Eagle Sect!"

RUMBLE!

A massive, gray-black Palm Force, crackling with thunder and lightning, came crashing down with the force of an avalanche!

The old Clan Leader was dumbfounded!

'When did Luo Tian become an honored guest of the Celestial Eagle Sect?'

'Didn't he just kill someone from the Celestial Eagle Sect?'

'What's more, he and Elder Song were old acquaintances, yet Elder Song had just attacked him directly!'

POW!

Elder Song was stronger than the old Clan Leader, and it was a sneak attack from behind. The old man was sent flying over ten meters, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

"Elder Song, why did you…"

The old Clan Leader's mind was reeling with questions. He was burning with anger and felt incredibly wronged.

'Has Elder Song gone mad? To actually help Luo Tian against me!'

Everyone from the Purple Scale Race, as well as the onlookers, was utterly astonished, their eyes wide in disbelief!

"What's happening?"

"Why did Elder Song attack the old Clan Leader of the Purple Scale Race?"

The crowd erupted. The scene was so bizarre that none of them could process what was happening.

"Shut up and apologize to this young man at once!" Elder Song bellowed.

'Luo Tian was almost killed by the old Clan Leader! If that had happened, the entire Earth and Water Realm would have had to face the wrath of the Tai Yuan Sect!'

That was why Elder Song was so furious.

The old Clan Leader was completely stunned. Not only had Elder Song attacked him, but he was now demanding that he apologize to Luo Tian!

He was filled with fury and resolutely refused!

"Hmph. Do you want me to personally force you to apologize to the Celestial Eagle Sect's honored guest?" Elder Song shouted coldly, unleashing an incredibly powerful, oppressive aura that crashed against the old Clan Leader like a tidal wave!

Whether in terms of Cultivation or status, the old Clan Leader was inferior to Elder Song.

His imposing manner gradually faded!

After three breaths, he sighed and chose to submit!

The Purple Scale Race dared not offend the Celestial Eagle Sect, and if Elder Song was determined to protect Luo Tian, there was nothing he could do.

"This matter is the Purple Scale Race's fault. I ask for Your Excellency's forgiveness!"

The old Clan Leader of the Purple Scale Race bowed his head in apology.

The surroundings were in an uproar!

The Purple Scale Race, one of the three great families of Hailan City, had just seen their Clan Leader killed, and now their old Clan Leader was bowing his head and admitting fault!

"To be able to correct one's mistakes is the greatest of virtues."

Luo Tian remained expressionless.

He paid no mind to the old Clan Leader's apology.

The one who needed to be killed was already dead, and he was ready to leave!

"Let's go."

Luo Tian turned to leave with the two Mu Family Elders.

But Elder Song suddenly called out, "Luo, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Why not come visit the Celestial Eagle Sect?"

Elder Song adopted a very humble attitude, like a subordinate addressing a superior.

This made it even more incomprehensible to everyone present!

'Elder Song is a Celestial Level Martial Artist from the Celestial Eagle Sect. Why is he being so respectful to Luo Tian?'

"That won't be necessary."

Luo Tian shook his head, completely uninterested.

"Alas!"

Elder Song let out a sigh.

He deeply regretted not being able to keep Luo Tian there.

Even now, the shock in his mind had not yet subsided!

He never thought that a member of the Tai Yuan Sect would appear in the humble Earth and Water Realm!

Moreover, the strength Luo Tian had just displayed was extraordinary; he was likely a True Disciple of the Tai Yuan Sect.

"Elder Song, is Luo Tian really an honored guest of the Celestial Eagle Sect?" the old Clan Leader asked with dissatisfaction.

Elder Song had just invited Luo Tian to visit the Celestial Eagle Sect, but he had been rejected.

Even a fool could see that Luo Tian was no guest of the Celestial Eagle Sect.

"Hmph. Zicheng, do you have any idea what a disaster you nearly caused? You almost doomed the entire Purple Scale Race and implicated my Celestial Eagle Sect in the process!" Elder Song snorted coldly.

"I caused a disaster?"

The old Clan Leader felt extremely wronged.

'You're an Elder of the Celestial Eagle Sect! It's one thing not to help me, but to come and question me instead!'

"That's right. You came this close to offending the Tai Yuan Sect!" Elder Song said with a cold expression.

What?

The Tai Yuan Sect?

That name struck the purple-haired old man's mind like three bolts of lightning, setting off a tempest within him!

He instantly understood!

'Luo Tian is from the Tai Yuan Sect?'

Heavens!

The purple-haired old man's heart trembled with fear, but he also felt an immense sense of relief.

If he had truly injured Luo Tian and provoked the Tai Yuan Sect, the entire Purple Scale Race would have been wiped from existence!

But now, at least the Purple Scale Race still existed. Only a few people had died!

"That disappointing, wicked son, to think he caused this old man so much trouble!"

The old Clan Leader instantly shifted the blame to the deceased Clan Leader.

At the same time, he marveled inwardly. 'Thankfully, Luo Tian was strong enough to dodge my incomplete attack. Otherwise, it would have been a catastrophe.'

...

「After leaving the Earth and Water Realm.」

The next target was the Dongchen Continent!

「One month later.」

Following the route from his memory, Luo Tian arrived at the location where he had left the Dongchen Continent.

The area was pitch-black and desolate. In the Outer Void, only faint, grayish-white currents of wind drifted by.

After a brief search, Luo Tian confirmed that the Dongchen Continent was not here.

"I'll just have to search for it slowly…" Luo Tian murmured.

Trying to find a single plane in the vast, boundless Outer Void was an extremely difficult task!

But Luo Tian believed that not much time had passed since he left Dongchen. Even if the Dongchen Continent's position was unstable, it couldn't have drifted too far.

"I'll leave this to you."

Luo Tian said to the two Mu Family Elders, then returned to his room, planning to enter seclusion for a while.
