24 Chapter 24 God of death

Frozen Cloud Asgard was the most powerful sect of Blue Wind Empire's four major Sects and also the holy land of that many yearn and long to be in.

Heavenly Sword Villa, Frozen Cloud Asgard, Xiao Sect, and Burning Heaven Clan

Out of the seven countries on the Profound Sky Continent, the Blue Wind Empire is currently the smallest. 

Although they had the lowest overall strength, they have never been annexed by the other countries. A large part of the reason why was because of those four major sects. Those powers that be were not afraid of the Blue Wind Empire's strength but instead fear the four major sects.

There was no doubt about the strength of those four major sects. The process by which they recruited disciples was very strict, and they did not care about background in their selections. In the end, the most important thing they wanted was talent. 

And the young girl who became his wife was the disciple of one of those four major sects. She must possess exceptional talent.

"Since you are one of Frozen Cloud Asgard's disciples, why don't your family reveal it to the public? With your identity, Xia clan can freely walk through anywhere in Floating Cloud City and nobody would dare offend them. All the rich people, including the city's main clan will seek to curry favor from you. The growth of your Xia clan will also develop at a rapid pace."

Yang Chen asked curiously, trying to understand the reasoning behind her family's decision to keep her identity a secret. He couldn't help but wonder if there were any specific reasons or hidden dangers that they were trying to avoid by doing so. 

"It was because of you."

"Because of me?"

"I married you with the identity of a girl from Xia clan and the entire city of Floating Cloud is in an uproar. If I married you with an Frozen Cloud Asgard's disciple's status, not only our small city of Floating Clouds would be in an uproar. No matter what, there would be a lot of unpredictable consequences between you and my Xia clan. After all, the difference between you and I is far too vast."

Xiao Qingyue said it in a light voice with clear eyes. Although she only stood there silently, she was already brilliantly dazzling.

"I see, Thank you for telling me all this..." 

Yang Chen nodded, then he continued.

"Then, can you tell me the level of your current profound strength?"

Yang Chen was stronger than her but he wanted to know how much. 

And as she was about to answer him, both Yang Chen and Xia Qingyue heard a cold voice echo through the room.

"You cannot tell him more than this, Qinyue."

"Master?"

Xiao Qingyue turned her head towards the source of the voice, surprised to see her master standing at the entrance of the room. Her master wore a white robe and a veil. Under the veil must be another beautiful woman.

"I have been listening enough. He is no god, Qingyue, and the realm of gods is not real."

Xia Qingyue heard what her master said but won't listen. She believed that Yang Chen must be someone from the realm of gods. Otherwise, how could anyone explain his change of personality and mysterious technique?

"Qingyue, Listen to your master. Even though his mysterious technique might be impressive, it doesn't necessarily mean he is from the realm of gods; there are many cultivation techniques in this world. He must stumble upon some rare cultivation method or technique that allowed him to achieve such power.

Her master explained it patiently. Even Yang Chen nodded. That should be a logical thing, as normal people would think.

"It is important not to jump to conclusions without sufficient evidence."

Her master then looked at Yang Chen like he had done something very wrong.

Yang Chen looked back at her. He didn't feel threatened by her killing intent at all. The killing intent of a woman who killed her own heart couldn't do anything to him.

And Old Yang Chen didn't like to be threatened.

"Interesting. Such a cute killing intent. I'll show you the real deal, woman."

Yang Chen wasn't someone who would back down because the other was a woman. He released his killing intent, and it surprised the master of Xia Qingyue.

His killing intent was so powerful that it caused the air around them to become heavy and suffocating. 

Xia Qingyue's master could feel the intensity of his killing intent pressing against her, making it difficult for her to breathe. 

She had never encountered such a formidable opponent before, and it made her realize that underestimating Yang Chen was a grave mistake. 

"You are strong—stronger than anyone I met but still mortal."

Yang Chen knew that there was a limit to how much he could buff someone stronger than him. He needed to instill the image that he was stronger than her, so she would think twice before doing something.

He used the god of death's power. The god of death's power coursed through Yang Chen's veins, amplifying his killing intent to an even more terrifying level. 

"I am the god of death, Hades. You mere mortals dare to question my existence?"

His voice boomed with an otherworldly resonance, sending chills down her spine. The intensity of his words echoed through the heavy air, causing her to be overwhelmed with fear. Her frozen heart couldn't help her because what she had experienced now was a true primal fear.

XIa Qingyue, who thought that Yang Chen wasn't buffing. She jumped between them and said to Yang Chen with a panicky face.

"Please don't hurt her husband. She didn't know anything."

Xia Qingyue pleaded, her voice trembling with desperation. Yang Chen didn't like seeing her become like that, so he stopped.

She reminded him of someone in the past.

Her master came back to her senses and then looked at Yang Chen warily. She now knew that he wasn't normal, but was he really a god?
