School Beauty's Peerless Soldier Chapter 1544 1531: Taoist Lord, Forgive Our Offense

The voice was indifferent, as if without a trace of emotion, causing chills to run throughout one's body.

More than forty cultivators trembled in unison, yet didn't kneel but looked in the direction of Luo Yan.

After days of interaction, Luo Yan had already beco the core of the cultivators; when there were benefits, Luo Yan would seize them first, and when the team encountered danger, Luo Yan was naturally the first to rise to the occasion.

The current situation clearly was beyond anyone's ability, and naturally, everyone looked to Luo Yan as their leader.

In front of everyone, Luo Yan's body gave a slight shiver, and he too did not kneel but rather faced the one-ard youth before him, speaking word by word, "May I ask... are you Qing Xuan, the Taoist Lord?"

One stone stirred a thousand waves!

With Luo Yan's words, everyone couldn't help but let out a sound of astonishnt.

A Taoist Lord is not a title everyone can attain; only disciples of the Taoist lineage, particularly those of strong ability and high status, are qualified to be called a Taoist Lord.

In a sense, once crowned with the title of Taoist Lord, one is almost destined to beco a top-tier super strongman! The Taoists have this ability and capital!

And the na Qing Xuan was even more renowned to everyone's ears!

Unlike Xu Fan's sudden rise, Qing Xuan had been a Taoist genius from a young age, sothing everyone had long heard of, and later, Qing Xuan even occupied the third position on the Earth List for a long ti, becoming a sensation!

Qing Xuan and Taoist Lord, these two terms each carried great weight! And combined, they were full of prestige! Even for Luo Yan, before Qing Xuan, he was hardly worth looking at!

The gap was not only in power but also in fa and status, the two were on completely different levels!

As for everyone else, there was simply no comparison! The difference was too vast!

Facing the shocked and reverent gaze of the crowd, Qing Xuan's expression remained indifferent, as he nodded lightly.

To Qing Xuan, there was naturally no need to hide his identity, because... everyone here was going to die today!

"Taoist Lord Qing Xuan, we ca following Exotic Beast traces, thinking sothing major had happened, so we rushed over, only to inadvertently disturb you. We ask for your forgiveness, Taoist Lord."

Luo Yan respectfully clasped his fists, bent his waist, and lowered his proud head.

Despite having an inkling seeing Qing Xuan amidst the Exotic Beasts, Luo Yan wisely refrained from ntioning anything, offering only apologies, and adopting an extrely humble posture!

"We ask for your forgiveness, Taoist Lord!"

Everyone bowed deeply, lowering their proud heads before Qing Xuan.

Qing Xuan, being a disciple of the Taoist lineage, even without the identity and strength of a Taoist Lord, just being a Taoist disciple alone weighed heavily on everyone.

Everyone's bow was at its utmost extent, nearly forming a ninety-degree angle, their attitude extrely humble.

Yet Qing Xuan did not speak, only coldly staring at the bowing group, his eyes containing a hint of icy amusent.

Waiting patiently was a tedious task, but the appearance of everyone served as a diversion for Qing Xuan, originally waiting idly for Xu Fan to appear.

Were it not for wanting to play with them, and savor the despair on their faces, to avenge Xu Fan's lost arm, Qing Xuan would have long ago swept his hand to execute Luo Yan and the others!

Ti passed, and a full quarter of an hour later, cold sweat covered their foreheads, their bodies trembling slightly, yet they still heard no word from Qing Xuan to rise.

Qing Xuan rely stood quietly before them, superior in position, a cold smile at the corner of his mouth.

The scene resembled an ancient court where ministers paid homage to their king!

"Taoist Lord, we shall not disturb further. When we leave these ruins, we shall host you, expressing our admiration."

Luo Yan's mouth trembled slightly, clearly enraged, yet surrounded by a thousand Exotic Beasts, he had to put away his pride, his already deeply bent waist bending even lower.

However, upon saying this, Qing Xuan remained silent, standing there as if an uninvolved spectator.

Inside, all felt a surge of rage, yet dared not speak.

The anger turned in their minds, only to be swiftly dispelled.

Everyone knew clearly that rebellion or rage had only one outco: death!

Another quarter-hour passed, everyone trembling continuously, sweat like rain. Though all were Zhiwei Realm powerhouses, bowing wasn't physically exhausting, but before a thousand Exotic Beasts, before Qing Xuan, they were under imnse pressure.

Had they been super geniuses from various lands, with outstanding ntal fortitude, they might have already collapsed!

Even now, they were nearing their limits, Qing Xuan's silence feeling excruciating!

At this mont, Luo Yan suddenly straightened, gazing at Qing Xuan with equal eyes.

It wasn't that Luo Yan wasn't afraid to die or that his pride outweighed the fear of death, but... Luo Yan was sufficiently smart!

Previously, the group repeatedly faced siege by Exotic Beasts, their eyes crimson red, evidently controlled by soone.

And today, Qing Xuan appeared among the Exotic Beasts, clearly confirming the mastermind previously ambushing the group might well be Qing Xuan! Qing Xuan's current deanor further verified this possibility!

With this, there was no chance for survival! Instead of humbly pleading for life, it was better to make one last stand before dying!

"Taoist Lord Qing Xuan! How have we offended you, Taoist Lord, please enlighten us!"

"Or, what must we do for Taoist Lord to spare our lives?"

Luo Yan took a deep breath, voicing all his doubts at once, tearing off the facade.

What Luo Yan could think of, everyone else obviously could as well, but Luo Yan spoke what they dared not.

Everyone looked up at Qing Xuan.

The atmosphere imdiately tightened to its extre!

"Hehe."

Facing their gaze, Qing Xuan sneered, coldly speaking, "You... qualify to question ?"

"However... if you wish to live, you can, kneel, and I will spare you."

Hearing Qing Xuan's disdainful words, this ti the previously united group had differences.

So knelt, so begged, so questioned, but most were in despair.

"Ha."

Gazing at their appearance, Qing Xuan suddenly yawned.

"Playing gas with ants is indeed boring... well then, you may all die!"

With that, Qing Xuan waved his hand coldly, commanding the thousand Exotic Beasts, "Kill!"

Despair grew rampant among the crowd, so directly giving up resistance, closing their eyes to await death.

However, a bizarre scene unfolded, the Exotic Beasts which followed Qing Xuan's orders suddenly seed to see a terrifying enemy, all prostrating in fear, trembling...
