Chapter 1142 - 1141: Scared to Kneel!

"Indeed, it is Mr. Ye!"

Luo Xiao nodded slowly.

Mr. Ye!

Upon hearing this, Xu Mingcheng was momentarily stunned, and his respectful awe intensified.

Throughout the Extreme North, there may be many with the surname Ye, but the one who could be respectfully called Mr. Ye by everyone was the one and only.

Initially.

This existence, in the Extreme North, was unknown and obscure.

But as if overnight, he astonished the world, confronting the Luo Family Ancestor with absolute strength, forcing the Luo Family to bow its head. Later, with a fierce demeanor, he swept through several Earth Immortal Races in the Extreme North.

Then, when Marquis Guangjun came personally, at a time when everyone thought Ye Qingchen was undoubtedly doomed, who could have imagined that this young man would instead topple Marquis Guangjun?

Of course.

This only made the people of the Extreme North feel awe.

When everyone thought this young man would dominate a region and enjoy pleasures, who could have guessed Ye Qingchen suddenly returned to the Extreme North, first fought in the Martial Arts Conference, then confronted the Taotian Palace, and later faced the siege of the Thirty-Six Sects.

Wave after wave of attacks, dazzling to the extreme, culminating in him fleeing to the East Sea.

That period was the Luo Family's most difficult days.

It must be known.

Without Ye Qingchen, this towering tree, the Luo Family was like a delectable piece of meat surrounded by hungry wolves. Just when the Luo Family was about to collapse, who could have thought the news returned that Ye Qingchen had slain the Celestial Immortal Zou Ji Dao above the East Sea!

And from then on, each report sent a massive shockwave through the Extreme North!

First, he slew Yu Hongqing, then exterminated Taotian Palace!

He controlled and killed Fuhong, trampled Vajra Temple.

He waged war against the Thirty-Six Sects, slaughtering thirty-four Celestial Immortals!

It was precisely because of this that the Luo Family's status in the Extreme North soared. Even Celestial Immortals had to show them some respect! In the Extreme North, Ye Qingchen had already become a legend.

And Luo Xiao before them was designated as the next Patriarch of the Luo Family due to a statement Ye Qingchen made back then.

Xu Mingcheng recalled the tumultuous times caused by Ye Qingchen in the Kunlun Realm, but he asked rhetorically, "Will Mr. Ye take action against the Profound Ice Platform?"

"I have no idea!" Luo Xiao shook his head, seeing Xu Mingcheng's puzzled face, Luo Xiao smirked coldly, "What kind of existence is Mr. Ye? How dare we ordinary mortals presume to understand the heavens?"

"Even Young Master Xiao doesn't know? Isn't Mr. Ye stationed at the Luo Family?" Xu Mingcheng was utterly surprised.

Luo Xiao replied, indifferently, "How could a humble place like the Luo Family accommodate Mr. Ye, the great Buddha? The elder has recently flattened the Thirty-Six Sects of Southern Heaven and is likely wandering freely somewhere. I haven't seen Mr. Ye in a long time!"

Xu Mingcheng subtly clicked his tongue, feeling deeply regretful. He had initially thought he could connect with Ye Qingchen through the Luo Family, but who knew even Luo Xiao was unaware of Ye Qingchen's whereabouts.

However, his enthusiasm did not diminish; instead, it grew even more fervent.

Luo Xiao also enjoyed the comfort. After a few more cups of wine, seeing Xu Mingcheng's furrowed brow, he asked, "Brother Xu, have you encountered any trouble lately?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Mingcheng was delighted, knowing that a figure like Luo Xiao would rarely speak casually, and his words signaled his involvement in the matter. He was greatly pleased and recounted the incident on his way here in detail:

"...on the way to the Profound Ice Platform, I encountered two women, wanting to savor a refreshing taste, but ended up in trouble!"

"With your status, what kind of woman can't you have? Why linger on those wildflowers?" Luo Xiao said with a half-smile.

Xu Mingcheng shook his head repeatedly, "Young Master Xiao, you don't know, those two women are simply out of the ordinary. After seeing them, I only felt that the women I played with before were all mundane and vulgar!"

"Are there such beings?" Luo Xiao shook his head repeatedly, clearly skeptical.

Xu Mingcheng hurriedly said, "Absolutely, they're currently inside the Profound Ice Platform!"

"Alright, I must see if it's truly as you say..." Luo Xiao, with a cold smile on his face and emboldened by the drink, stood up immediately. "Even a Celestial Immortal must show our Luo Family respect; how dare a mere Earth Immortal flaunt our Luo Family?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Mingcheng's smile widened.

Immediately.

The group emerged from the residence.

"Young Master Xiao!"

"Young Master Xiao!"

"Young Master Xiao!"

Everyone they passed by, upon seeing Luo Xiao, stopped their tasks immediately, respectfully calling out. Those who were unsure were instantly whispered to by acquaintances, and they became respectful without daring any disrespect.

Seeing this scene, Xu Mingcheng grew even more proud.

"Over there!"

Ye Qing and Han Yue Ran's striking appearance naturally stood out, and before long, the group encountered them on the street, as they were picking and choosing at a stall, seemingly unaware of what was about to happen.

"Indeed rare beauties!"

Upon seeing the two women, Luo Xiao was immediately captivated by their stunning appearance. Such women were rare not just in the Luo Family but across the Extreme North and even the Kunlun Realm.

"Well?" Seeing Luo Xiao's expression, Xu Mingcheng silently delighted, then pointed at the robed young man beside them, "That guy, he's the Earth Immortal traveling with them..."

"Just a mere Earth Immortal!" Upon first sight of the figure, Luo Xiao felt it seemed familiar but couldn't recall, dismissing it with a shake of his head, "With our Luo Family's means, he could be crushed at will..."

Before he finished his sentence, the robed young man turned his head, and the moment Luo Xiao saw his face, his pupils constricted as if struck by lightning:

"Ye... Ye... Ye..."

He stood dumbstruck, unable to utter a word.

And then.

Ye Qingchen, turning his head, noticed Luo Xiao, and his expression immediately darkened, eyes lowered:

"Is it you again? Didn't I already tell you to get lost?"

"Kid, you dare remain so arrogant?"

Xu Mingcheng originally came with revenge in mind, intending to leverage the Luo Family's influence to force Ye Qingchen to bow. Yet, to his surprise, the other party remained so arrogant, prompting him to erupt in anger:

"Don't think just because you wield Earth Immortal power, you can act recklessly within the Profound Ice Platform!"

"Beside me is Young Master Xiao of the Extreme North Luo Family, the future Patriarch of the Luo Family—what right do you have to act so audaciously here? To want to crush you is as effortless as squashing a bug!"

Xu Mingcheng couldn't hold back any longer, unleashing a tirade.

The resentment accumulated during the journey erupted completely today, like a tidal wave finally finding its outlet. Each word was venomous.

His verbal onslaught filled him with delight as though he could already envision Ye Qingchen kneeling and begging for mercy.

Just as he reached the peak of satisfaction.

He witnessed.

Ye Qingchen slowly raised his head, looking at Luo Xiao beside him, with a smirk:

"Is that so?"

The surrounding crowds stared wide-eyed, thinking this young man was recklessly bold, daring to speak this way to Luo Xiao. Xu Mingcheng, his face sneering, thought to himself that this young man was missing a screw in his head.

Wouldn't it be easy for Luo Xiao to deal with him? Could there be any doubt?

Moreover.

Considering Luo Xiao's status and position, what's the issue with crushing an ant like him?

As Xu Mingcheng's face remained smug amidst disbelief that Luo Xiao would erupt in fury any moment, he witnessed the potential most powerful young man in the Extreme North, suddenly paling as if struck by lightning.

Under the incredulous gaze of the crowd, he fell to his knees with a 'thud', trembling like a scared mouse before a cat:

"I dare not!"

With his words, the entire scene was stunned.

Everyone was dumbfounded by this spectacle, unable to believe what was happening before their eyes.

And beside him, Xu Mingcheng, struck by the Petrification Technique, stood utterly bewildered, shocked by the unfolding events.
