Chapter 257

**Chapter 257: Proving**

If Chen Ansheng really cheated, the several Immortal Kings would naturally pursue the matter relentlessly. Those who lost could exploit this opportunity to make a fuss.

“Kid, let go of my disciple and clarify the matter!”

Immortal King Namo sensed a change in the situation and, with the imposing presence of an Immortal King, he pressed down towards Chen Ansheng on the stage.

Chen Ansheng felt as if a mountain was crushing him, his bones creaking under the pressure.

Seeing this, Gu Miaoyan immediately utilized her celestial power to protect Chen Ansheng. However, she was not a true Immortal King; she could only slightly lessen the pressure on Chen Ansheng.

Just as Chen Ansheng was about to buckle under the weight, a wave of celestial power rushed in, completely counteracting Namo’s force.

“Namo old man, if you have something to say, say it openly instead of bullying a junior! Aren’t you afraid of losing face?”

The person who intervened was none other than Sword Immortal King Li Tai’a.

Why was he helping Chen Ansheng?

The reason was simple. As a legendary sword cultivator, having witnessed Chen Ansheng’s unprecedented sword intent, how could he not be impressed?

Moreover, sword cultivators, regardless of their external demeanor, always possessed a thread of righteousness flowing within them and were least tolerant of treacherous individuals.

“Hmph.”

Namo coldly glared at Chen Ansheng.

“I’ll say it again: release my disciple!”

Chen Ansheng also maintained a cold demeanor, locking eyes with Namo. “He tried to kill me first, and now that I’ve captured his soul, isn’t it justly deserved? Today, if you, a dignified Immortal King, bully me, you’d better kill me. Otherwise, don’t say that Immortal King Han won’t take this lying down; one day, I won’t let you off either!”

At this declaration, everyone was shocked!

This kid dared to speak harshly in the face of the Immortal King’s pressure!

Previously, he didn’t seem like much; they thought he was just a pretty boy. Who would have guessed he had such backbone?

Perhaps influenced by Chen Ansheng’s audacity, Fang Chixu and others flew up to the fighting platform, standing shoulder to shoulder with Chen Ansheng.

Fang Chixu coldly remarked, “Don’t scream here; am I scared of you, Immortal King? If you have the guts, kill me too! Even if my Master can’t deal with you, she could certainly wipe out your tens of thousands of disciples on White Bone Immortal Island!”

“Come on, let’s fight!”

“You want to bully the weak, right? If you have guts, make a move. If you don’t kill this Missy, you’re a grandson!”

Ying Lan and the others stood tall, disdainfully staring at Immortal King Namo.

Namo’s fists tightened in anger, but would he dare to retaliate?

Impossible!

Even if he wanted to exact revenge, he wouldn’t dare kill in Peace City.

Moreover, killing this bunch of small fries would not bring him any benefits, especially given Han Wei’s vengeful nature.

At the same time, Gu Miaoyan also flew up on stage, standing in front of Chen Ansheng. With cold eyes fixed on Namo, she said, “Your disciple’s methods are despicable; his destruction is his own doing. As for his soul, I shall bring it back and deliver it to Immortal King Han for judgment. You needn’t lay your hands on it!”

Namo’s eyelids twitched in anger. “Good, good, good. Each of you really has guts, commendable indeed. I won’t mention Gou Mang’s soul for now, but we must clarify whether that brat cheated!”

Gou Mang’s soul twisted in pain and shouted, “All Immortal Kings, this brat truly cheated! He hid a near-Immortal King expert in the small world; otherwise, I would never have lost!”

Everyone’s gaze turned back to Chen Ansheng.

If Chen Ansheng really brought someone to participate in the match, it would definitely count as cheating.

At that moment, the previously gloomy Toad exclaimed, his eyes sparkling, “You little brat, honestly explain how you cheated!”

A cold smile crept onto Chen Ansheng’s lips as he said, “Cheating? Immortal King Toad, aren’t you overthinking this? It’s too easy to be played. I’d like to ask all the esteemed Immortal Kings present, what virtue or capability do I possess to hide an Immortal King from your perception? Moreover, why would the dignified Immortal King help me so furtively? Don’t you all find this laughable?”

“This…”

Toad’s eyes darted about.

What this kid said made sense. If another Immortal King were indeed present in the arena, they certainly wouldn’t have no awareness of it.

If they truly sensed nothing, it would indicate that the opponent’s tier was far above theirs.

The realm of Immortal Kings is not simply divided into early, mid, and late stages; it’s graded, totaling nine grades. The ones present were below grade three.

“Then tell us, how could you defeat the Illusory Ancestor?”

Li Tai’a asked on the platform.

Chen Ansheng sensed that Li Tai’a bore no enmity towards him, so he clasped his hands and replied, “Honorable Immortal King, as you know, I cultivate both arts and martial skills. If that black-robed brat could summon ancestors, why couldn’t I?”

Hearing this, many were suddenly enlightened.

“So you used a technique similar to summoning ancestors, enabling you to defeat him. In that case, there’s no issue.”

Li Tai’a voluntarily explained for Chen Ansheng.

As long as it wasn’t summoning a true person for assistance, it belonged to the realm of techniques and was a matter of personal skill, how could it be considered cheating?

“I see! You little brat has some skills.”

Even Toad, who usually looked down on human cultivators, couldn’t help but praise Chen Ansheng.

After all, his disciples had been thoroughly beaten by Gou Mang, while Chen Ansheng had reduced Gou Mang to just a soul, indirectly avenging Toad’s side.

Most present believed Chen Ansheng’s words, but Namo certainly wasn’t ready to concede defeat.

“Then prove it to me!”

Namo coldly demanded.

“Why should Chen Shidi’s secret techniques be demonstrated to you?”

Fang Chixu retorted.

“Brother Fang, it’s fine; I’ll demonstrate.”

Chen Ansheng understood that if he didn’t showcase his abilities, Namo wouldn’t let the matter rest.

With that, he focused his thoughts and unfolded the Alien Immortal Realm, enveloping everyone within.

“Old Black, wait a moment. When I chant a few incantations, you come out in an emotionless soul state.”

Chen Ansheng transmitted a message to the Alien Immortal.

“Servant obeys.”

In the small world, several Immortal Kings gazed at the dark red heavens, unable to help but marvel at Chen Ansheng’s exceptional skills.

If he grew to become an Immortal King, this small world would undoubtedly stabilize further. By then, he could likely crush most Immortal Kings of the same tier; he truly was a rare talent!

Subsequently, Chen Ansheng moved his lips, casually creating some waves of magic power.

A black soul projection materialized behind Chen Ansheng, and a pair of large wings slowly unfolded, exuding an intimidating aura.

“It’s indeed true; he has the ability to summon ancestors and can call forth an alien immortal!”

“This kid is too incredible. If he had used this move against us at that time, we might have fared even worse.”

Beast Immortal Bull Head exclaimed in shock.

After a brief demonstration, Chen Ansheng retracted the Alien Immortal Realm, restoring everything to normal.

At this point, everyone had nothing to say, having to admit that Immortal King Han’s side had won the battle and secured the usage rights to the Storm Spirit Abyss for a hundred years.

Moreover, due to the previous oaths taken by the several Immortal Kings, none of them could go back on their word and were obliged to hand over the key fragments.

Combining the four key fragments, they formed a token that could unlock the Storm Spirit Abyss.

The matter of the battle finally came to a close.
