Master Saint Mo shook his head and said, "That nephew of mine brought it upon himself. There's no fault in Immortal Master Li killing him. However, as for the Shariputra of my Brahmin, would Immortal Master Li consider returning it?"

Li Chen replied, "That Shariputra has turned to dust along with Master Jialan; I'm afraid I can't return it!"

Upon hearing Li Chen's words, Master Saint Mo's face instantly darkened.

"Immortal Master Li, do you really think you can deceive this humble monk?"

Li Chen chuckled coldly and said, "Believe it or not, that's up to you. Besides, even if the Shariputra were with me, I wouldn't return it to you. If you could take it just by asking, wouldn't that mean I'd lose face?"

"Huh?"

Master Saint Mo didn't expect Li Chen to be so "unreasonable," making him feel like a scholar picking a fight with a ruffian for a moment.

"Immortal Master Li, does this mean you do not intend to return it?"

As he spoke, his True Yuan surged like sprouting sesame seeds, growing increasingly violent. His face was full of anger, like an enraged Jin Gang.

Li Chen wasn't about to show weakness, secretly gathering his True Yuan and shouted, "Noisy! Leave now, and I might spare your life. Otherwise, go down and find your nephew Master Jialan if you want the Shariputra!"

"Fine, fine, fine!"

Master Saint Mo was so furious that he laughed, repeating "fine" three times.

"Today, let this humble monk experience the heaven-defying skills of Immortal Master Li!"

His words were still hovering in the air when Master Saint Mo suddenly stamped his foot, causing the ground to crack and a fissure to extend towards Li Chen's position.

"Great Vajra Palm!"

Master Saint Mo struck out with his palm, causing the void to tremble. A massive palm imprint, like a golden mountain, bore down on Li Chen to suppress him.

The palm imprint covered the sky, as magnificent as a skyscraper of dozens of stories high. In front of it, Li Chen seemed as insignificant as an ant.

"Hmph, how dare you show off such a petty trick in front of me?"

Li Chen snorted disdainfully, shooting out a Sword Light from his fingertip.

This Sword Light initially was only the size of a finger, but it grew larger in the wind, spanning several dozen yards in the blink of an eye, resembling a rainbow across the sky.

"Boom!"

The golden palm imprint collided with the unmatched Sword Edge in midair, tearing the void apart in an instant.

"Break!"

Li Chen shouted explosively in mid-air, controlling the Sword Shadow with his mind to spin rapidly, forming a vortex of impact, penetrating the palm imprint like a white rainbow piercing the sun and a comet attacking the moon.

"Rumble!"

A fierce collision sound erupted, and Master Saint Mo's Vajra Palm imprint collapsed like a tofu project under a strong earthquake.

Master Saint Mo was startled, quickly grabbing the prayer beads around his neck and activating the Sanskrit on them to form a sealed defensive space, intending to block Li Chen's unstoppable Sword Shadow.

"Hmph, do you think you can block it?"

Li Chen sneered disdainfully, a golden light condensed in his palm, and his five fingers clenched tightly to form a flashing Iron Fist, launching with thunderous force.

The Thunderbolt Fist shot towards Master Saint Mo like a lightning train at a speed too fast for the eye to see.

"Clang!"

The sound of a Copper Bell rang explosively, instantly destroying hundreds of meters of ancient trees and boulders around. Dust scattered, covering the sky, lingering for a long time.

Master Saint Mo managed to hold on for just two breaths before the jade-like Buddha Beads showed mottled cracks.

With a "crack," they could no longer support and shattered on the spot.

Master Saint Mo was shaken and retreated repeatedly, knocking down countless trees until he hit a huge rock, stabilizing his center of gravity.

Before he could steady himself, he let out a painful groan, felt a sweetness in his throat, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

In just one exchange, Master Saint Mo was already defeated.

The power of one punch was terrifying!

Zhuge Mingyue suddenly felt a toothache, his mouth twitching.

Despite previously overestimating Li Chen's combat power as much as possible, it now seemed he still underestimated him.

After calming his mind, Zhuge Mingyue pushed the wheelchair and came out.

He clapped his hands twice, smiling coldly and said, "No wonder Immortal Master Li is renowned in the Mortal World; your reputation is well-deserved!"

Li Chen dusted off his clothes and smiled coolly, "Hehe, and you're indeed the Young Master with kidney deficiency, too weak to even stand up!"

Kidney deficiency Young Master?

Even Zhuge Mingyue, who was usually very tolerant, couldn't help but feel outrage at Li Chen's blatant mockery.

"Immortal Master Li, you've gone too far!"

Li Chen was not to be outdone, retorting, "Not as far as you, a despicable person who only attacks in secret, right?"

"Presumptuous!"

Butterfly's eyebrows rose sharply, scolding severely.

Lian Hongshang pressed her right hand tightly on the Purple Shadow Immortal Sword, eyes wide open, ready to confront.

The two women glared at each other in the air, their gazes filled with tension.

Zhuge Mingyue did not stop Butterfly, nor did he glance at her. It seemed he had absolute confidence in her.

His eyes were fixed on Li Chen, he smiled coldly and asked, "Immortal Master Li, there's something you may not know yet?"

Li Chen was surprised and asked, "What's that?"

Zhuge Mingyue did not directly answer Li Chen's question but asked again, "Do you know of Heavenly Sword Mountain?"

Heavenly Sword Mountain is one of the Ten Great Heavenly Sects. Over the past hundred years, its prestige has been growing, with the potential to replace Penglai Pavilion, becoming the dominant power in the Cultivation Realm.

Not to mention Li Chen, even a three-year-old child has probably heard of it.

Therefore, when Zhuge Mingyue asked such a seemingly foolish question, Li Chen chose to stay silent, waiting patiently for him to continue.

Indeed, Zhuge Mingyue paused for a moment before continuing, "Not long ago, Sect Leader Jian Chen of Heavenly Sword Mountain proposed on behalf of his disciple Jian Wuheng to Sect Master Ling Yunlong of Cloud Sea Sect, seeking to marry his treasured daughter Ling Shuanghua. The two families intended to unite through marriage, creating a beautiful union!"

Hearing the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar name "Ling Shuanghua," Li Chen couldn't help but be taken aback.

"Their family union, what's it got to do with me?"

Zhuge Mingyue replied, "Of course it has something to do with you!"

"Ling Shuanghua rejected the marriage because of you!"

"Huh?"

Li Chen was taken aback by this, thinking, could that silly Ling Shuanghua be openly talking about how he slept with her?

But on second thought, this was unlikely.

If that were truly the case, the entire Cloud Sea Sect, along with Heavenly Sword Mountain, would spare no effort to hunt him down.

Zhuge Mingyue, noticing the change in Li Chen's expression, already knew his words had an effect.

Immediately, he coughed lightly twice, smirking as he said, "Immortal Master Li, you indeed have a way with women. Not only do you have the company of an extraordinary beauty like Miss Lian, but even our Cultivation Realm's first beauty, Fairy Ling, is enchanted by you. Such fortune with women is truly enviable!"

Li Chen frowned at his long-winded nonsense and said, "Get to the point. What's the meaning behind all this random talking?"
