Chapter 618: Long Haotian
"What?!"
"Who the hell is that?!"
"Where did this idiot come from?"
"Has he gone insane? You dare say such things to Senior Sister Bai and Senior Sister Chu?!"
...
Countless disciples immediately erupted in fury.
Many were so angry they nearly jumped from their seats, wanting to teach him a lesson.
The battle between Bai Xueqing and Chu Ziyan had reached its most exciting point, yet someone had actually interrupted it.
And not only interrupted it, he had spoken such shameless words.
Within the Heaven Sword Sect, Bai Xueqing and Chu Ziyan possessed extremely high status and were admired as role models.
Yet this stranger had appeared out of nowhere and declared that both women should become his wives.
It was simply absurd.
Upon the arena, Bai Xueqing slowly turned her gaze toward the newcomer.
Her eyes narrowed slightly.
The surrounding temperature seemed to drop several degrees.
She carefully scrutinized the young man.
Unfortunately, she did not recognize him, nor did she recognize the clothing he wore.
However, she could feel that he wasn’t weak by any means.
Although he had hidden it quite well, she felt something similar to what she felt when facing Bai Zihan.
More importantly, the confidence he displayed did not appear fake.
Still, his words were extremely offensive which made her very displeased.
Beside her, Chu Ziyan’s expression had also become cold, particularly after hearing him.
After all, she already had a fiancé.
The entire empire knew this. The man was either ignorant or simply did not care.
Neither possibility improved her opinion of him.
Meanwhile, the young master stood proudly in the center of the arena.
As though completely unaware of the hostility surrounding him or perhaps he simply did not care.
His gaze swept across Bai Xueqing and Chu Ziyan.
The more he looked, the more satisfied he became.
Excellent.
Truly excellent!
The young master’s smile widened.
"Stop that insolent man!"
A furious shout interrupted him.
Several Heaven Sword Sect elders rose into the sky.
Their expressions were extremely ugly.
One of the elders pointed toward the arena entrance.
"You dare disrupt a duel and insult our disciples in the sect?"
"Leave immediately!"
The young master merely glanced at them before laughing.
A trace of contempt appeared in his eyes.
Two figures suddenly appeared beside him.
The surrounding space immediately distorted.
They casually released a trace of their aura.
Only a trace yet the result was immediate.
Boom!
An overwhelming pressure descended upon the arena.
The Heaven Sword Sect elders’ expressions instantly changed.
Their bodies stiffened and all fell on the ground.
Since even the elders were in such a situation, there was no need to elaborate on weaker disciples.
They all felt the pressure.
An aura far beyond Void Refinement Realm.
Far beyond the Great Ascension Realm.
An aura that stood at the peak of countless cultivators’ dreams.
Immortal Realm!
The faces of the Heaven Sword Sect elders immediately paled.
One elder’s voice trembled.
"Immortal..."
Another swallowed hard.
"Two Immortal Realm experts..."
The surrounding disciples became deathly silent.
The countless insults instantly disappeared.
Fear replaced anger.
Shock replaced outrage.
However, not everyone was completely intimidated.
After all, it wasn’t as though the Heaven Sword Sect lacked one.
As the number one sect in the empire, when had they ever been bullied?
Was two Immortal Realm Cultivators enough to bully their sect?
An elder in the Great Ascension Realm stepped forward.
Although he was still far inferior to an Immortal Realm expert, he managed to withstand the pressure to a certain extent.
His expression was grave as he looked toward the two old men.
Then toward the arrogant young master.
"Do you know where you are?"
The elder’s gaze sharpened.
"This is the Heaven Sword Sect. No matter who you are, you should respect the rules of our sect."
Everyone knew the elder was already being extremely polite.
After all, the other side possessed two Immortal Realm experts.
If not for that, would he even be conversing with them?
They would have already subdued them and thrown them into the sect prison.
The young master merely glanced at him.
Then he scoffed.
"Hmph!"
His eyes were filled with disdain.
"A mere Great Ascension Realm cultivator dares lecture me?"
He waved his hand dismissively.
"As expected of a backward region. You people truly don’t know your place."
The young master continued indifferently.
"This young master is offering these two women a great opportunity. Who are you to interfere?"
His tone carried absolute arrogance.
As though everyone present should be grateful.
The elder still wanted to say more, but the two old men immediately suppressed him.
It was already bad enough that their young master had made such a scene and attracted so much attention.
If these elders angered him and he killed one of them, the matter would spiral completely out of control.
Thankfully, the young master completely ignored the elder after he was suppressed.
Instead, he turned toward Bai Xueqing and Chu Ziyan.
A confident smile appeared on his face.
He clasped his hands behind his back.
Standing proudly in the center of the arena.
"My name is Long Haotian."
His gaze swept over the two women.
"I have taken a liking to both of you. Therefore, I am willing to give you the opportunity to become my wife."
Many disciples stared blankly.
Some were so angry that their faces turned red.
The man’s tone made it sound as though he were bestowing an incredible blessing.
As though becoming his wife was some unimaginable fortune.
The expressions of Bai Xueqing and Chu Ziyan instantly became colder.
Their moods, which had already been terrible, became even worse.
Chu Ziyan’s eyes were completely devoid of warmth.
"I already have a fiancé."
Her voice was cold and sharp.
"The entire Desolate Heaven Empire knows this."
She looked directly into Long Haotian’s eyes.
"So stop dreaming."
The blunt rejection immediately caused many disciples to feel refreshed.
Some nearly applauded.
Long Haotian’s smile froze slightly.
Clearly, he had not expected such a direct refusal, nor had he expected her to already have a fiancé.
Bai Xueqing also stepped forward.
Her icy gaze landed upon him.
"You seem to think having Immortal Realm experts behind you makes you some great figure."
Her voice remained calm, yet everyone could hear the coldness hidden beneath it.
"But it is impossible between us!"
The arena instantly erupted.
"Well said!"
"Senior Sister Bai!"
"Hahaha!"
"That’s right!"
"Who is this idiot to dream of marrying Bai Xueqing? Doesn’t he know that the Bai Clan doesn’t lack Immortal Realm cultivators? He is merely dreaming!"
The disciples who had been suppressing their anger immediately cheered despite them being suppressed by the two old men’s aura.
Long Haotian’s expression gradually darkened.
For the first time in his life, he had been rejected without the slightest hesitation.
There were countless women of various backgrounds and talents who begged to be with him.
Now that he was offering such an opportunity, rather than being grateful, they dared to refuse him.
But he wasn’t too angry.
He believed it was simply because of their ignorance.
Because they didn’t know who he was.
If they knew he was the heir of the Long Clan, one of the strongest clans in the Central Glorious Continent, he was certain they would regret their decision and beg him.
In the Central Glorious Continent, merely hearing his name was enough for countless people to recognize him immediately.
But here, it seemed that no one had the slightest idea who he was despite him already revealing his name.
"It seems like you don’t know who I am."
There was no need to say more.
In his eyes, the other party was simply ignorant.
Then—
Boom!
A terrifying aura erupted from his body.
The cultivation he had been suppressing was instantly unleashed.
Immortal Realm!
The entire arena fell silent once more.
Who would have thought that such a shameless person would possess such a high cultivation realm?
Countless disciples stared at Long Haotian with widened eyes.
The pressure radiating from his body was simply too overwhelming.
Immortal Realm!
Many people found it difficult to connect that terrifying cultivation with the arrogant young man standing before them.
After all, Long Haotian did not appear particularly old.
In fact, he looked only a few years older than Bai Xueqing and Chu Ziyan.
Yet he had already stepped into the Immortal Realm.
Such talent was enough to leave countless people speechless.
The Heaven Sword Sect disciples quickly searched their memories.
However, no matter how hard they tried, none of them recognized him.
Not a single person had ever heard of Long Haotian.
This only made the situation stranger.
If someone possessed such monstrous talent, there was no way he should be unknown.
A person like this should have shaken the entire empire long ago.
The only conclusion everyone could reach was obvious.
He was not from the Desolate Heaven Empire, perhaps not even the nearby Empire.
Many people immediately recalled his earlier words.
His arrogant attitude.
His contempt toward the Heaven Sword Sect.
His complete disregard for Chu Ziyan’s engagement to Bai Zihan.
Everything suddenly made sense.
If he was not from the Desolate Heaven Empire, they wouldn’t know about them.
That was why he behaved so recklessly.
Although many disciples hated him, they could not deny one thing.
Long Haotian was terrifying.
Terrifyingly talented.
Terrifyingly powerful.
An Immortal Realm cultivator at such a young age was something they had never even imagined.
No matter how angry they were, they understood the reality before them.
Among everyone present, there was likely no one capable of defeating Long Haotian, not to mention the two old men.
Even the Great Ascension Realm elders who had stepped forward earlier fell silent.
The difference in cultivation was simply too great.
Meanwhile, Long Haotian enjoyed the shocked expressions surrounding him.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
This was the reaction he had expected.
This was the reaction he was accustomed to seeing.
Fear!
Shock!
Awe!
That was how people usually responded after learning who he truly was.
His gaze slowly returned to Bai Xueqing and Chu Ziyan.
In his mind, now that they had witnessed his cultivation, their attitudes would undoubtedly change.
After all, throughout his life, very few women had been able to remain indifferent after discovering his identity and talent.
Unfortunately for him, the expressions of Bai Xueqing and Chu Ziyan remained completely unchanged.
Neither showed surprise.
Neither showed admiration.
And neither showed the slightest intention of reconsidering.
Instead, their gazes grew even colder than before.
