Talisman Emperor
Chapter 1814 – Can't Hold It Longer
The table shattered into powder that spread to the surroundings.
The atmosphere in the hall instantly became silent, and only the angry and cold voice of the disciples from the Divine Institute still resounded.
Many clans of the Shentu Clan frowned but said nothing.
Chen Xi could not help but be a little surprised when she saw this. This was the Hall of the Clan of the Shentu Clan, yet this Divine Institute disciple dared to act so arrogantly. This clearly showed how arrogant he was used to acting.
But it was very clear that due to considering the identity of this disciple, the members of the Shentu Clan had chosen to exercise patience when faced with such an action that had obviously gone too far.
This caused Chen Xi to have no choice but to sigh with emotion. Reputation is absolutely everything. Only the name of the Divine Institute seemed to possess such overwhelming deterrent power.
However, when he heard the person actually say that Shentu Yanran ‘ had no idea what was good for him’, it still caused Chen Xi to frown while his eyes turned coldly piercing.
The Shentu Clan was afraid of the Divine Institute, but he, Chen Xi, was not!
“Daoist Brothers from the Divine Institute, please calm your anger. Yanran always had an honest disposition. Allow me to persuade him. ” Shentu Xing hurriedly tried to mediate when he realized that the atmosphere was a little unkind.
As he spoke, his gaze descended on Shentu Yanran, and he looked irritated by his actions as he said, “Yanran, stop causing trouble! Quickly apologize to the Daoist Brother of the Divine Institute to avoid making things difficult for everyone. ”
Chen Xi almost thought that she heard wrong. How could someone help an outsider to bully their own clan?
This guy is a real asshole! Chen Xi could not help but glance at Shentu Qingyuan who was sitting in the host's seat, yet he saw the latter revealing an emotionless expression, and it was completely unable to distinguish emotions from her.
Chen Xi could not help but be a little disappointed by this. Shentu Yanran is your daughter. But you are actually watching nonchalantly in such circumstances. Doesn't that make too much sense?
“Ha ha! Really laughable! You intend to force me to apologize just because I am unwilling to join the Divine Institute? How could such an absurd and shameless thing happen in this world !? ” At this moment, Shentu Yanran was angry as well. His clear eyes were icy cold as he said coldly, “I will repeat them once again. I, Shentu Yanran, do not care about being a Powerseal Disciple! “
He spoke word for word in a strong and resolute manner, and it caused the members of the Shentu clan to squint while they felt a little disbelief.
“How dare!”
“It looks like the Shentu Clan did not intend to cooperate with our Divine Institute.”
“A terrible attitude! Senior Brother Gongsun, it seems like we came here at no cost. “
The faces of the disciples of the Divine Institute were sunk as they sneered, and they were extremely unhappy with Shentu Yanran.
“Yanran!” Shentu Mingda's heart instantly snapped when she heard this, and she was a little anxious. He immediately scolded in a loud voice and said, “Maybe you really intend to ignore the interests of the Shentu Clan and bitterly disappoint all your clans?”
His voice carried a wisp of fury that was not hidden at all.
Shentu Yanran pursed her cherry-picked lips yet hesitated to speak. Clearly, he was also subjected to an indescribable pressure.
“Because Yanran does not want to, then it is best not to force him. Whether he joined the Divine Institute or not had little effect on the overall collaboration between the Shentu Clan and the Divine Institute. ” Chen Xi could not hold her breath when she heard this, and she spoke in the end.
Once these words were spoken, it was not only the clan from the Shentu Clan that was stunned, even the disciples of the Divine Institute could not help but be shocked. Who is this guy? What right does he have to speak at this moment? “Daoist Associates, you seem very foreign. Forgive me for not remembering if I've seen you before, but can I know who you are? ” Gongsun Mu glanced at Chen Xi and spoke indifferently.
“She's my friend...” Before Shentu Yanran could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Shentu Xing. “Is there a place for outsiders to interrupt at such a time? You just ran wild! “
As he spoke, he glanced at Chen Xi and spoke in a threatening manner. “Friends, please show respect! This is an internal matter of my Shentu Clan, and it is not something that anyone can interrupt! “
Once he finished speaking, a disciple from the Divine Institute could not help but laugh. “Ha ha! I thought he was a great guy, but he turned out to be nobody who likes to poke other people's business. “
“If this issue is not related to Yanran, I really do not want to bother to pay attention to all of you.” Chen Xi only smiled with narrowed eyes when faced with this humiliation and reproach, and she said casually, “But Since Yanran thinks of me as his friend, he said, then I naturally won't stand idly by and watch all this happen.”
These words were spoken casually, yet they looked arrogant and boomed to ear as they entered the ears of everyone in the hall.
No matter whether it was the clan from the Shentu Clan or the disciples of the Divine Institute, all of them could not help but feel a little disbelief. Never did they imagine that this person with ordinary looks and attitude would actually dare to fight with them at this moment.
Is this guy going to die crazy? Did he not know that this was the Hall of the Clan of the Shentu Clan? Was he not aware that he was facing the disciples of the Divine Institute?
“Yanran, where do you make friends like that? He's a real idiot! ” One cannot help but mock, and it makes the others laugh out loud! ” One of the disciples of the Divine Institute laughed out loud as he spoke as well, and he laughed endlessly with ridicule and seemed to have regarded Chen Xi as rash and brainless.
Shentu Yanran could not help but become angry when he heard all the insults towards Chen Xi, and he was just about to say something when he was stopped by Chen Xi.
“No need to fuss with them. It's really just a waste of time. ” As soon as he said these words, the expressions of the disciples of the Divine Institute became cold.
“Can't be said to be completely dissatisfied. I can't stand to see this. ” Chen Xi spoke casually with an indifferent expression.
At this moment, even the many clans of the Shentu Clan were a little surprised by Chen Xi's actions. Where exactly did this young man gain the confidence to actually dare to confront the disciples of the Divine Institute?
“Ha ha! How dare! Since it is like that, then do you dare to argue with me? ” The silver-robed man from the Divine Institute started laughing out of extreme anger, and his entire body emitted a terrifying and terrifying aura.
The atmosphere instantly became murderous and tense.
“Daoist Brother, calm your anger. Daoist Brother, calm your anger. * Send this guy to me. ” When he realized that a battle was about to erupt, Shentu Xing hurriedly moved forward to persuade the disciples of the Divine Institute. Moreover, when he spoke, his face became gloomy, and he looked at Chen Xi with an ice-cold gaze while he was cursing. “Friends, please leave right now. Otherwise, don't blame me for driving you away! “
“How dare you!” Shentu Yanran hit the table in front of him as he stood up.
“Yanran, if you continue to cause trouble, then you will be punished according to the rules of the clan!” Shentu Xing gritted his teeth furiously.
“Alright, everyone, please listen to me.” Suddenly, Gongsun Mu who was watching coldly from the sidelines had spoken, and it instantly suppressed all the surrounding voices and drew the gaze of everyone in the hall to him.
On the other hand, his gaze was directed towards Chen Xi from afar while his voice was low and indifferent. “Friends, you said that you can't bear to see my Divine Institute?”
Just these words alone caused the atmosphere in the hall to change abruptly. The air seemed to freeze, and it pressed until it suffocated.
Chen Xi did not seem to notice it at all, and she said casually, “Did you not listen to me clearly now. Do I have to repeat it a second time? “
At this moment, even Shentu Mingda and Shentu Xing's expressions couldn't help but change, and they vaguely felt that something was wrong with Chen Xi's reaction, but they can't determine what's wrong about it.
On the other hand, the Patriarch of the Shentu Clan, Shentu Qingyuan, still had not spoken. His eyes narrowed slightly while his right index finger occasionally hit the back of his chair. No one knows exactly what he's thinking.
When he heard Chen Xi's reply, Gongsun Mu suddenly started laughing, yet his laughter contained no emotion. “There must be a reason, right? Or maybe you are trying to defend Miss Yanran? “
“What you say is not wrong. Yanran is my friend, so of course it is impossible for me to watch indifferently when it is related to him, “ Chen Xi said in an indifferent tone.
“Because it is like that, then tell me what qualifications you have to act in this way. Could it be that you think that the identity of the Powerseal Disciple of my Divine Institute is not good enough for Miss Yanran? ” Gongsun Mu's voice suddenly turned grim, and it carried a killing tone.
“Forcing others to do what they don't want is ultimately not good.” Chen Xi's answer was very flat. “I can't bother about other people's things, but as her friend, I should care about things related to her.”
“Can you do it?” The silver-robed man from the Divine Institute could not help but sneer.
Chen Xi immediately ignored him and could not be bothered to argue with him.
When he saw this, Gongsun Mu was silent for a moment before he suddenly said, “This matter is related to the honor of my Divine Institute, so this matter must be resolved.”
Once these words were spoken, it caused the hearts of the Shentu Clan clan within the hall to tremble.
At this point in the incident, they very clearly realized that even if they were to interfere, it would be absolutely impossible to change anything.
However, they are still curious. Where exactly did this friend of Yanran gain the confidence to act in this way? Does he not know what symbolizes representing the Divine Institute?
“You intend to fight?” Chen Xi's eyebrows shot up.
“What do you think?” Gongsun Mu replied with a question.
“Looks like I have no choice but to agree.” Chen Xi spoke indifferently. Shentu Yanran originally intended to say something, but he was stopped by her. Because those people from the Divine Institute were consecutively mocking him now, and that caused him to become a little furious.
Even the best people experience times when they lose patience. Chen Xi was not an emotionless person, so he was naturally unable to tolerate the humiliation directed at him by the people from the Divine Institute.
If it was at any other time, he wouldn't even bother making a fuss with them.
But now it's different. He was a disciple of the Mount Oracle. Regardless of whether it was for his own reputation or for the sake of protecting the reputation of Oracle Mountain, he had to take action in reaction to this.
“Ha ha! This kid has a backbone. Senior Brother Gongsun, since it is like this, then allow me to experience this friend's ability! ” The silver-robed man couldn't hold himself back for a long time, so he immediately stepped forward, and his gaze was like a bolt of lightning as it swept out coldly and locked onto Chen Xi. Moreover, the corner of his mouth was covered in a cold and insulting expression.
When the others saw this, they immediately understood that the battle was like a nocked arrow, and it had to be shot!
For a time, everyone's gazes shot at the silver-robed man and Chen Xi together, and the atmosphere was confrontational.
