The Qin family had ulterior motives—they couldn’t care less about who Chen Chang'an was. They simply wanted to use this opportunity to extort the Li family thoroughly.
At this moment, the Li family members glared at Qin Shou with fury in their eyes. Once upon a time, the Qin and Li families weren’t exactly close allies, but their relationship had been decent enough.
After this incident, the Li family never expected Qin to lend a hand, but the repeated kicks while they were down were downright infuriating.
"Leave this matter to me."
"It has nothing to do with your family anyway," Chen Chang'an said, glancing at Li Yuntian. He had no intention of letting the Li family intervene.
"You? Handle this?"
"Hahahaha! Kid, do you even have ten thousand top-grade immortal spirit stones?" Qin Shou sneered at Chen Chang'an.
"I have the stones. But I wonder if your Qin family can handle what comes next."
"Of course, you still have a chance to take back your words," Chen Chang'an said coldly.
"Ohoho!"
"Not much strength, but quite the big mouth."
"Our Qin family doesn’t play by the rules. What can you do about it?"
"Let me teach you a lesson—in the Primordial Immortal Domain, strength dictates who has the right to speak."
"You?"
"You’re nothing. On any other day, you wouldn’t even be worthy of speaking to me."
Objectively, Chen Chang'an wasn’t in the right here. After all, Da Huang and Xiao Yao had indeed freeloaded at the Qin family’s establishment. Paying up was only fair.
But now…
"You’re right."
"Strength determines who speaks."
"So, shut up now."
Before the words even settled, Chen Chang'an struck. A terrifying aura erupted from his body.
The Li family members shuddered at the overwhelming pressure.
The hell? This is just the first level of the Quasi-Immortal Realm?
Since when did Quasi-Immortals at this stage pack such a punch?
The Li family was stunned. So was Qin Shou!
He never expected this bastard to be hiding his strength!
He was, after all, a third-level Golden Immortal Realm expert. Yet, facing Chen Chang'an, he felt utterly powerless.
Damn it!
Had the Li family really found such a monstrous ally?
Boom!
Splat!
Before anyone could react, Qin Shou was already sprawled on the ground, vomiting blood.
"Golden Immortals are tougher to kill, huh?"
"Next time, I’ll have to put in a bit more effort."
Chen Chang'an’s single strike had only left Qin Shou on the brink of death, not outright obliterated. This made Chen Chang'an realize that the Primordial Immortal Domain was quite different from the Tai Xuan World.
At the Golden Immortal level, after all, survival methods were plentiful.
"Y-you… who the hell are you?" Qin Shou stared at Chen Chang'an in terror.
"Is this the only line you villains know?"
"Does it matter who I am?"
"You didn’t have to die. But you just had to act tough, didn’t you?"
"Didn’t anyone tell you that posturing without power is just pathetic?"
If Qin Shou had simply taken the immortal spirit stones and left in the first place, none of this would’ve happened.
Chen Chang'an had been ready to pay up. But no—this fool just had to push his luck.
"I… I’m from the Qin family."
"You can’t kill me."
"You—"
"What about the Qin family?"
"I dare to kill people from the Four Great Immortal Sects. Is your Qin family stronger than them?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Shou was stunned, while the Li family erupted in excitement.
Incredible!
This guy is ruthless—he dares to kill members of the Four Great Immortal Sects? Does that mean Chen Chang'an doesn’t even regard the Four Great Immortal Sects as a threat?
If that’s the case, then a single Burning Heaven Immortal Sect probably isn’t even worth mentioning, right?
"Stop staring."
"Next life, make sure to open your eyes wider."
"Oh, right—you probably won’t have a next life."
Chen Chang'an had a habit when killing: he would always obliterate his enemy’s soul as well.
He would never leave them even the slightest chance of making a comeback.
"You two, come with me."
Da Huang, as shameless as ever, grinned and followed Chen Chang'an, while Xiao Yao beside him kept her head down, looking guilty.
"Elder, is Chen Chang'an really this strong?"
"He’s incredible—is he truly only at the Quasi-Immortal Realm’s first level?"
"Does this mean our Li family is really saved?"
"Thank goodness, our Li family finally has hope!"
After witnessing Chen Chang'an’s power, the attitude of every Li family member underwent a complete transformation.
Li Yuntian glanced at them and said coldly, "Now you see how formidable he is?"
"Remember this: from now on, treat Chen Chang'an with the utmost respect."
"And don’t celebrate too soon—he hasn’t decided yet whether to help our Li family."
"Pass down my orders: every member of the Li family must hand over their possessions."
"Whether we can move Chen Chang'an depends on whether our Li family has anything that truly tempts him."
"Yes, Elder."
Meanwhile, Da Huang and Xiao Yao stood before Chen Chang'an in completely different states.
Xiao Yao looked like a child who had done something wrong, her eyes glistening as if she were about to burst into tears.
Da Huang, on the other hand, wore a cheeky grin, shamelessly acting cute and silly.
"Big bro, it was amazing."
"The quality in the Ancient Immortal Domain is top-notch."
"Too bad you didn’t come," Da Huang said with a laugh.
"Cut the nonsense. Be serious," Chen Chang'an snapped coldly.
"Whoa, no need to get mad."
"Alright, alright, I’ll stop laughing."
"Elder, I was wrong. I’ll never do it again," Xiao Yao said meekly.
"Look at Xiao Yao—that’s how you apologize. Now look at yourself."
"Xiao Yao, come sit. This wasn’t your fault."
"Okay."
Xiao Yao nodded obediently and took a seat, then flashed Da Huang a triumphant smile and a challenging look.
"Big bro, she’s faking it!"
"That girl is totally acting!" Da Huang shouted indignantly.
"Shut up."
"Tell me—why did you make Xiao Yao disguise herself as me to take you to a brothel?"
"The Li family has so many people—why not have her take someone else’s form? Why did it have to be mine?"
"You’ve completely ruined my reputation," Chen Chang'an said coldly.
"Big bro, come on, you don’t even have a reputation."
"Ahem—I mean, I was wrong. I won’t do it again."
Seeing the dangerous glint in Chen Chang'an’s eyes, Da Huang quickly backtracked. After all, backing down was nothing new to him.
"And even if you went, why didn’t you bring money?"
"Are you brainless?"
"Did you forget again?"
On this point, Da Huang did feel a bit guilty—it simply wasn’t in his habit, after all, since Chen Chang'an had always been the one footing the bill.
As for Xiao Yao… she didn’t even grasp the concept of spending money. Having spent her entire life in the Huan Hua Immortal Sect, she had no experience with such matters.
"Big bro, you always say I’ve got no memory."
"Well… you’ve gotta actually give me money first, damn it."
