"Three sirs, I also understand strength reigns supreme. If you are strong and want to seize Thunder Palace, there's indeed nothing I can do.
If you want me to hand over, that's fine. But there's only one city; to whom should I hand it?" Han Li said calmly, toying with the teacup in his hand.
As soon as Han Li spoke, the atmosphere in the hall subtly changed.
After a moment, the scantily clad beautiful woman chuckled:
"Your scheme is quite good, but this divisive tactic won't work on us. You don't need to worry about that, just get out of Thunder City."
Han Li's hand gripping the teacup tightened slightly, and he sighed with some disappointment in his heart.
As expected of old fellow, they didn't fall for this trick at all.
"What's with all this? I'm not discussing anything with you right now; I'm directly informing you: you can get out of this city!"
The bare-chested big man, upon hearing Han Li's words, immediately glared and roared with a sinister grin.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the hall became tense and confrontational, suggesting that a massacre could break out at any disagreement.
"Hehe, you want my "Thunder Palace" to get out? What do you really think you are?"
Just as the atmosphere was about to completely collapse, a teasing voice suddenly echoed, and then a dark figure appeared in the center of the hall.
The Three Leaders were slightly startled, then he look at the newcomer's face.
Chen Ling who had appeared as silently as a ghost, the pupils of The three Leaders couldn't help but contract slightly.
This fellow possessed such an eerie movement technique, able to enter this hall so stealthily without drawing any of their attention.
Such speed was indeed extremely unnerving.
But the moment, they look at his face, their expressions darkened.
The smiles on their faces slowly froze at this moment.
"You... you are one who descends from upper realm!" The beautiful woman's face was filled with surprise.
After a moment, she couldn't help but exclaim. She recall the moment of sky tearing and void gate open.
Chen Ling chuckled and replied lightly, "Although it's not something to be proud to come this lower realm, but that's indeed me.
Heh heh, what?
Do the three of you intend to seek advice from me?"
Hearing Chen Ling's teasing, the three's faces immediately became unpredictable.
Not long ago, a figure descends from upper realm. It had been major events that shook the entire cultivation world.
And the person descends was this seemingly young man before them.
Moreover, they were now unlucky enough to have encountered him.
The three exchanged subtle glances, all frowning slightly.
They had originally thought it was just a small faction, but they hadn't expected to involve this formidable figure.
"Hehe, Little Brother, we really come for seek some advice from you? About upper realm?" The beautiful woman covered her mouth and chuckled.
"With your shit cultivation, you want to go upper realm? Are you even worthy?"
Chen Ling's smile remained gentle, but inwardly, he laugh with devilish smile.
Few days ago, when he descends to lower realm, this create a big scene.
After all, its truly not easy to descend to the lower realm.
Even a Saint King would have to pay a terrifying price, fearing heavenly backlash and spatial collapse.
Yet Chen Ling had done it casually.
Or at least — that was what everyone believed.
When he descended, the sky had cracked open like shattered glass. Purple lightning tore across the heavens, and a terrifying spatial tunnel descended like divine punishment.
Countless old monsters had been alarmed.
Ancient ancestors who had been in seclusion for hundreds of years opened their eyes.
But when they arrived…
They only saw a young man standing calmly in the center of a ruined mountain peak, his black robes fluttering, his expression indifferent — as if the descent from the Upper Realm was nothing more than stepping down a staircase.
And Chen Ling had acted perfectly.
Arrogant.
Unrestrained.
Cold.
Just like a true upper realm young master who had come down for so called "training".
He casually revealed a trace of mysterious aura — just enough to make people fearful.
He spoke with disdain about the lower realm.
After all, who would dare offend someone who could freely descend from the Upper Realm?
Chen Ling looked at them lazily, as if observing three ants debating whether to bite a tiger.
"Tell me," he said lightly, "which one of you gave permission to speak in my hall?"
The burly man's forehead began to sweat.
The beautiful woman maintained her charming smile, but her fingers hidden beneath her sleeves were trembling slightly.
The thin old man among them narrowed his eyes and finally spoke in a low voice:
"Young Master Chen, although you are from the Upper Realm… interfering with lower realm forces may not be appropriate."
Chen Ling's smile deepened.
"Interfering?"
He stepped forward slowly.
The pressure in the hall instantly multiplied.
"I had descend wherever I please.
I will take what I want.
I will destroy what I dislike."
His eyes swept across them calmly.
"And you… dare to discuss appropriateness with me? Little Brother? Huhh, are you worthy?"
A faint ripple of space distortion appeared behind him.
The beautiful woman suddenly laughed softly, trying to break the tension.
"Young Master, why so serious? We were only curious about the Upper Realm. After all… legends say even its spiritual energy is ten times richer than here."
Chen Ling looked at her, before smiled slowly.
"With your cultivation? You wouldn't survive three breaths there."
To have reached this level in such lower realm, wasn't just by relying on strength.
Facing his aggressive questioning, three Leaders' expressions also changed slightly.
Their intentions are already extremely clear, yet the other party is still feigning ignorance.
"Our purpose, you should already be aware." The bare-chested big man was the first to lose his patience, saying in a deep voice.
"So, the three of you wish to seize my property?" Chen Ling chuckled lightly, his eyes narrowed, but his face showed no signs of emotion.
The Three Leaders exchanged silent glances, then all gritted their teeth.
The profits from Thunder City were extremely high, and even with Chen Ling's appearance, it would be quite difficult for them to give it up.
Taking risks was a common occurrence in cultivation world.
Moreover, with the strength of the three of them, if they joined forces, they might not necessarily lose to him.
After all, the aura he is releasing is now only first stage of Void Ascension Realm. While, even weakest of them, are at least second stage of Void Ascension Realm.
Watching these three Leaders, whose gazes gradually revealed faint murderous intent, Chen Ling's lips also curled into a cold smile.
