Chapter 167: Apologies are useful, but do we still need fists?
In order to deal with Chai Xin's arrival, the people of Penglai had obviously made sufficient preparations. Seventeen or eighteen figures appeared at once, and each of them was a master above the Xiantai Secret Realm.

Behind these people, flags were waving, and there were hundreds of people in the crowd. They were all cultivators above the fourth level. They each made hand gestures and exuded an aura that soared into the sky.

At this moment, they are united in purpose and working together to control the innate magic circle.

Among the crowd, there was an old man wearing a purple robe and with an ancient face. Although his hair was full of silver hair, his appearance was immortal and his demeanor was extremely transcendent.

This person is the current Lord of Penglai, also known as the Head of Penglai.

This person is very powerful, but he has not yet achieved the Dao of Destruction. He is a powerful person at the peak of the second level of the Immortal Platform.

Although they are both top figures of great power, the strength of Penglai's master is far stronger than some bishops of the Western Church.

After all, he did not rely on the power of faith, but relied purely on his own talent and the unique environment of Penglai Island to break through and reach this point.

Such strength, if we ignore the external equipment, is enough to compete with the Saint Lord-level existence of Beidou.

Even if we only talk about one's own combat power, the so-called king of gods of the Western Church who was killed by Chai Xin may not be a match for the old man in front of him.

This is also an important reason why Penglai has a very high opinion of itself, to the point that the Little Heavenly Venerable Penglai once did not take the Western Church seriously in his words and deeds.

"Evil creature, I, the head of Penglai Sect, have come in person, why don't you surrender? Follow me to kneel down and repent in front of my brother's spirit, and I can give you a quick death, sparing you the pain of having your bones crushed and your ashes scattered!"

Seeing the elders appear, the Holy Lady of Penglai, who had been horrified when she saw Taoist Xuanzhen being killed, became calm and indifferent again.

She looked down at Chai Xin, her crystal eyes sparkling with a holy and noble light, completely different from her previous resentment.

Obviously, she paid great attention to her image in front of the head master and other disciples. She lost her composure because she met Chai Xin suddenly and was emotionally agitated.

What's more, the only person present at that time was Taoist Xuanzhen.

Chai Xin casually threw away Taoist Xuanzhen's body as if he was throwing away garbage.

His attention had originally been attracted by the head of Penglai, but at this moment, the sudden voice of the Penglai Saint attracted his attention again.

"What are you looking at, you evil creature, don't you know your own situation? You dared to kill our sect's deputy headmaster and chief disciple. You are the most evil villain we have ever seen since the founding of Penglai! I give you a chance to avoid the suffering of your soul and body, so don't waste it!"

The Holy Lady of Penglai had a cold expression on her face, and her words were filled with a kind of superior arrogance, as if she had already decided that Chai Xin was in her favor.

At this moment, the field was covered with Dao patterns, and the innate formation had been activated. It was powerful enough to kill the King of Dao Slashing. No wonder she was so arrogant and confident.

"Such a beautiful lady, but she has a broken mouth."

Chai Xin narrowed his eyes slightly and uttered these words softly, leaving everyone present a little confused.

Then, he was a little stunned again.

In this situation, the other party actually dared to mock the saint. Was he just foolish, reckless and straightforward, or was he too self-righteous and ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth?

The Saint of Penglai was not angry. Her seductive red lips curled up in a cold arc, and she shook her head and said sarcastically, "He is indeed a daring lunatic who is unaware of his own imminent death... huh?!"

Before she finished her words, her originally calm eyes suddenly widened, her pupils suddenly contracted, and the indifferent expression on her face was replaced by surprise.

In the distance, Chai Xin, who was trapped by the laws and formations and should have lost all his fighting power and was unable to move, disappeared from the spot in an instant.

"Where did he go? Could it be that he escaped with the secret treasure?"

The Holy Maiden of Penglai was feeling suspicious, but suddenly she realized that there was something wrong with the looks others gave her.

Shock, worry, and a little horror!
"Huan'er!"

"Saint beware!"

Many disciples and older people in Penglai were shocked by Chai Xin's sudden disappearance and were stunned for a moment. Only then did they hurriedly open their mouths to remind him.

In fact, the Penglai Saint herself had already realized that something was wrong, but it was too late.

"Pfft!"

She only felt a sharp pain running through her heart, as if her whole body was torn apart, and her chest suddenly became extremely cool.

She looked down hesitantly, and the confusion in her eyes was immediately replaced by shock and horror.

A seemingly ordinary fist actually pierced through her body from the back, causing her entire chest to explode!
"How can it be……"

She slowly turned her head, wanting to see the owner of the fist.

However, she was destined not to have this opportunity.

"A quick death is my greatest kindness to you." Chai Xin's cold voice sounded in her ears.

The world before the eyes of the Penglai Saint fell into complete darkness. The incredible look of fear on her beautiful face was forever frozen in that moment.

Until her body and soul died and her consciousness completely disappeared, she still didn't understand why Chai Xin was so perverted.

She was actually killed instantly by the innate magic array jointly activated by more than a dozen powerful men and hundreds of masters.

This was beyond her understanding.

Not to mention her, all the other Penglai masters and experts were filled with the same shock and confusion as her.

Fang Yan had never encountered such a person in the entire history of Penglai.

When Chai Xin killed Xiao Tianzun, none of these people had witnessed it with their own eyes, so they did not have a deep understanding of it.

But at this moment, right under their noses, within the innate magic circle of Penglai Fairy Island, Chai Xin killed their deputy headmaster and the saint girl in seconds.

This kind of ferocity and cruelty had a great impact on everyone present.

Some people who have weak cultivation and weak mentalities have inevitably developed fear.

Such a devil-like figure killed two powerful men from the Xiantai Secret Realm with just a wave of his hand, and he was under the suppression of many powerful men - how could they not be frightened?
This atmosphere began to spread, and many people's movements became slower.

Especially when Chai Xin's cold gaze swept across, many people were so scared that their legs trembled and they couldn't help but step back.

"You little beast, you killed our sect's chief disciple. We all let bygones be bygones and sincerely invited you to attend the meeting. I never thought you would be so ferocious and unruly, and dare to commit crimes again and again. Your crime is truly unforgivable!"

The head of Penglai naturally knew that the situation was not good. If the situation was allowed to develop in this way, the innate magic formation would probably collapse on its own. He immediately became very excited and rebuked Chai Xin with great righteousness.

"I, Penglai, have been passed down since ancient times and am the leader of the righteous path in the world. How can I allow a demon like you to run rampant?"

As his momentum grew and his righteous words became more pronounced, the minds of the Penglai disciples gradually stabilized, and the fear on many people's faces began to dissipate.

They grew up here since childhood, and their belief and worship of Penglai is deeply rooted. In the hearts of these people, Penglai is the representative of heavenly justice, not only with unparalleled strength, but also able to conquer on behalf of heaven and kill all evil spirits in the world.

Before he finished his words, the Penglai Sect Leader had already raised his hand and shot out a brilliant five-colored divine light. A crystal clear treasure tree rose into the air from behind his head, shedding countless brilliance.

The divine power was so overwhelming that it seemed as if the Milky Way was rolling back, making a loud rumbling sound.

This is a sacred tree, a weapon forged by a saint in ancient times.

With the Lord of Penglai's peak strength, plus the blessing of the entire ancient magic circle, it is like a living ancient saint has descended!

In today's earth, saints represent invincibility.

Even if he is the top figure among the Kings of the Way of Slaying, if he does not have the blessing of the secret treasure, he will most likely suffer heavy damage if he tries to withstand this attack on his own. If he is not careful, he may even be in danger of falling!
The power of this attack is no weaker than that of the Western Pope. With the help of the hexagram formation, it exerts its strongest combat power.

A simple calculation of the difference in cultivation between the head of Penglai and the Pope will reveal his own talent and the extraordinary nature of this fairy island.

It is far above the Pope and the Holy City!
Faced with such a shocking blow, Chai Xin couldn't help but become more serious, and his indifference became more serious.

But that's all.

When he hadn't obtained the "Secret of Numbers", he was able to kill the Pope, let alone now?
This time, he did not even use the Lihuo Divine Furnace. He simply held the Xuanhuang Seal in his palm. His figure transformed into a purple-gold divine dragon. Suddenly, the sky and the earth were filled with purple light, like a surging tide, sweeping towards the sky full of five-colored divine light.

"boom!"

After just one confrontation, the powerful five-colored divine light immediately dissipated, and the entire precious tree trembled and flew backwards.

The Lord of Penglai was shocked and retreated repeatedly, blood gushing from all his seven orifices, and his majestic and ancient face became extremely miserable in an instant.

"Oh my god! Even the headmaster... How strong is this person?"

"When I first heard that he single-handedly destroyed the Western Church, I still thought it was a rumor, but now it seems..."

"It is said that he has only been practicing for more than ten years. How is this possible?"

Many people were trembling with fear, almost out of their wits.

Even their leader, with the help of the power of the innate magic circle and wielding the weapons of saints, was still no match for Chai Xin, and was not even a match for him.

Chai Xin's strength has exceeded everyone's imagination!
"How can you be so foolish?"

But at this moment, a peaceful and majestic voice suddenly exploded.

This voice seemed to contain the great power of the Tao, and even the heaven and earth were shaking in its excitement.

When many Penglai disciples heard this voice, they knelt down without hesitation, with awe and worship on their faces.

"Welcome to the Heavenly Lord!"

"Meet the Heavenly Lord!"

Immediately, the entire Penglai Island was filled with such sounds of worship, like a wave that submerged the entire world.

Deep in the void, the immortal light surged, and the spiritual energy almost condensed into a solid mountain range that rumbled.

The sound of Tao resounded through the sky, and the shadows of real dragons and divine phoenixes kept dancing. In that realm that seemed like a divine land, a middle-aged man with a simple appearance, surrounded by a dazzling halo, walked slowly towards them.

Each of his steps was extremely steady and firm. It didn't seem like he was moving fast, but in just a few steps, he had already crossed a thousand miles and arrived close.

It is Penglai Tianzun.

"Fellow Daoist Chai is an honored guest, how can you be so negligent? Moreover, I have already made it clear that Kun'er's death was caused by his arrogance. It is his own fault and has nothing to do with Fellow Daoist Chai!"

Penglai Tianzun's attitude was beyond everyone's expectations. Not only did he not take action against Chai Xin who killed his disciple, he even severely reprimanded everyone.

Many people are confused and don't understand what is going on.

The idea of ​​luring Chai Xin here and then ambush and kill him was decided by the headmaster himself, and he said it was done in accordance with the will of Heaven. How come it has turned out like this now?
Could it be that the headmaster was spreading false teachings?
Many people looked towards Penglai's headmaster with suspicion.

Little did he know that the head of Penglai had even more grievances. This order was indeed issued by Tianzun after he personally contacted various sects and requested to hold the Immortal Conference instead.

Who knew that Tianzun would not admit it now?
Even though he was pushed out as a scapegoat without knowing why, he didn't dare to explain and could only lower his head and remain silent.

Among those present, only Chai Xin watched coldly. Having read the original novel, he naturally knew that this was a vicious plot of Tianzun.

I'm afraid he wants to trick Ye Fan into the sealed place of the saint's demon fetus like he did in the original book and defeat him without bloodshed.

"Penglai is isolated from the world and has no contact with the outside world for many years. This has made many of our disciples more impetuous. I'm sorry to make you laugh."

Penglai Tianzun's tone was very sincere, as if he was truly ashamed.

At the same time, he also reprimanded the Penglai Sect Leader and others. Although his tone was not harsh, he was intimidating without being angry, which made everyone tremble. They did not dare to express the slightest dissatisfaction, let alone refute.

"Haha, fellow Daoist, you are so good at distinguishing right from wrong. I feel a little embarrassed for killing your disciple."

Chai Xin said this with a smile on his face, but there was no trace of apology in his expression, and anyone could see it.

Many people were secretly angry, but they dared not say much and could only glare at each other.

"There is no need to mention this matter again. It is all my fault that I spoiled that evil disciple, making him arrogant and domineering. He deserves this disaster. Otherwise, if it continues, it will bring disaster to Penglai. Speaking of which, he offended you, and I should apologize to you."

Penglai Tianzun's attitude is extremely sincere, even to the point of being humble. His acting skills are enough to shame all the actors in the world.

Chai Xin, however, was still smiling, waving his hand and taking a few steps forward: "Oh, there's no need to apologize..."

As soon as he said this, a hint of contempt and ridicule flashed across Tianzun's eyes imperceptibly.

However, the next moment, Chai Xin's actions made his expression completely frozen.

As he spoke, Chai Xin had already walked in front of the Penglai Sect Leader in broad daylight. The Xuanhuang Seal in his palm suddenly expanded and in an instant it had become several feet in radius.

"boom!"

No one could react in time, and the Penglai Sect Leader was caught off guard. He didn't even have time to resist before being smashed into a pool of blood and mud by the Xuanhuang Seal.

The field suddenly fell into deathly silence, with only the slight sound of blood gurgling, which seemed particularly harsh.

"If apologies are useful, why would I need fists? If you want to kill me, you must pay with your life, right?"

Chai Xin put away the Xuanhuang Seal, shaking off the blood on it, and stared at Tianzun's ugly face, which looked like a fly had been eaten, with burning eyes, revealing two rows of snow-white teeth, and asked with an undiminished smile.
