Martial Master

"You make everyone move aside and let me leave. If I'm in a good mood, I might just spare this person's life," Qin Chen said coldly, clutching Murong Bingyun.

"Impossible!" Shangguan Gufeng retorted coldly, her gaze dark and cold. How could she let Qin Chen go? If they let him escape, how would they explain to Shangguan Xier?

"Then there's nothing more to say. If you don't move aside, I'll kill her first," Qin Chen said with a sinister smile, his right hand gripping Murong Bingyun's neck. His demeanor was so imposing that it caused many to change their expressions.

"Do you think I, an elder of Piao Miao Palace, would let you leave for the sake of a disciple?" Shangguan Gufeng's cold eyes sharpened. Although she was worried about Murong Bingyun, she showed none of it on her face.

Qin Chen sneered, unfazed by Shangguan Gufeng's performance, and said coldly, "She's not just any disciple. She's your Piao Miao Palace's Young Master, the next Palace Master."

Did Shangguan Gufeng really think he didn't know Murong Bingyun's status? As the Young Master, she was the heir to the Palace Master and couldn't be easily discarded.

Shangguan Gufeng's expression turned unpleasant. She hadn't expected Qin Chen to know about Murong Bingyun's identity. Although she was angry inside, her face showed no emotion as she coldly replied, "So what if she's the Young Master? The so-called Young Master is just an heir we nominated, like the alchemists and Holy Sons in the Wu Domain. They're not unique, and if one dies, there's naturally someone else to replace them. You're overthinking it."

Is that so?

Did they really take him for a fool? If it were that simple, Shangguan Gufeng would have acted long ago. Why would she talk so much with him?

"In that case, I'll just kill her. Your Piao Miao Palace can choose another Young Master," Qin Chen said impatiently, his eyes glinting coldly as he prepared to break Murong Bingyun's neck.

"Stop!" Shangguan Gufeng suddenly shouted angrily, finally unable to hold back.

"Oh? Why? Didn't you say that if she dies, there are others to replace her?" Qin Chen taunted.

"What do you want?" Shangguan Gufeng took a deep breath and asked coldly.

She couldn't let anything happen to Murong Bingyun, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to face Shangguan Xier. Even though she knew Shangguan Xier must have set up some life-saving measures for Murong Bingyun, she didn't dare take the risk.

This was the bloodline of her Shangguan family, and within the entire Piao Miao Palace, only she knew of this matter.

Qin Chen finally laughed, confident in his deduction, but also puzzled by Shangguan Gufeng's strange behavior and excessive concern for Murong Bingyun.

Given Shangguan Gufeng's personality, she didn't seem like someone who would compromise just for an heir.

"Girl, do you want to live or die?" Qin Chen lifted Murong Bingyun's chin with one hand, slightly raising it as he smiled lightly.

"I spit on you!" Murong Bingyun retorted defiantly, showing disgust and shouting, "If you have the guts, just kill me."

Slap!

Qin Chen didn't say another word and slapped her face without any mercy for her beauty.

His gaze was icy, his killing intent overflowing, and he smiled, "Even though you're a beauty, it doesn't mean I won't hit you."

"Stop!" Shangguan Gufeng roared furiously, unable to stay seated. This was the bloodline of her Shangguan family; how could she bear such humiliation?

Qin Chen's eyes flickered. He did this deliberately to test Shangguan Gufeng's reaction, and now her response left him puzzled. Shangguan Gufeng's concern for Murong Bingyun exceeded normal levels.

There must be something strange going on here.

"What exactly do you want?" Shangguan Gufeng's chest heaved as she asked, both angry and embarrassed.

"I don't want anything, just make a path so I can leave," Qin Chen said coldly. The scene fell silent immediately. Letting the other party leave Piao Miao Palace, no one dared to make this decision, and they all looked at Shangguan Gufeng.

Shangguan Gufeng gritted her teeth, "Fine, I agree."
