Chapter 676: Chapter 450: In My Eyes, You’re Nothing More Than an Ant (Happy New Year, Please Vote)_2

Feeling the breath of danger, he immediately made a decision.

He reached out towards the Cold Water Palace Master next to him, retreating at the same time.

He actually wanted to grab the Cold Water Palace Master and pull back.

However, just as Li Changbo’s hand was about to touch the Cold Water Palace Master, a faint voice echoed in his ears.

“Stop.”

Then he felt his body had already frozen in place.

His hand was just a hair’s breadth away from grabbing the Cold Water Palace Master, but he couldn’t move an inch further.

“How is this possible!”

Li Changbo roared inwardly.

Yet at this moment, he was completely frozen in mid-air.

He couldn’t even speak, nor move his eyelids in the slightest.

No matter how he tried to unleash the mana within him, it was of no use.

“I told you, in front of me, you are nothing but a slightly bigger ant.”

At this time, clouds suddenly gathered in front of Lu Qing on top of the tavern, forming a misty Heavenly Ladder that extended over the Ice Palace.

Then, in the astonished gazes of countless people below, Lu Qing took Little Yan, stepped up the ladder one step at a time, and arrived before Li Changbo.

“Pretty sister.”

Little Yan ran forward, with clouds blooming beneath her feet, steadily supporting her, as she reached the Cold Water Palace Master’s side and helped her up.

The instant Li Changbo was immobilized, the sealing power on the Cold Water Palace Master’s body was already undone.

Yet, suffering severe injuries, she was weak all over and couldn’t move.

With Little Yan’s support, the Cold Water Palace Master managed to stand up and gracefully saluted Lu Qing.

“Thank you, Honored One, for rescuing me.”

“Hmm.”

Lu Qing nodded slightly but didn’t say much.

Seeing Lu Qing’s cold attitude, the Cold Water Palace Master didn’t feel anything amiss.

At this moment, she was fully convinced that this young man before her was indeed the legendary one.

The one who, with his own power, consecutively slew two immensely powerful extraterrestrial guests at the Golden Core Realm.

Later, he quietly and completely annihilated the Suspended Mountain, which was nearly the strongest among the Four Great Secret Places, even destroying the secret realm entirely.

Feeling the strange color in the Cold Water Palace Master’s eyes, Lu Qing’s thoughts stirred.

He asked, “You know me?”

“Yes, the Cold Water Palace has a portrait of you stored.”

The Cold Water Palace Master’s heart tightened as she answered truthfully.

Lu Qing nodded again, not feeling surprised.

Since the last time the Heavenly Mechanism Tower Master went to Jiuli Village to inquire about the disappearance of Suspended Mountain, he already knew that some information about him probably had been known by these top powers.

He didn’t ask further questions but turned his gaze to Li Changbo, who was suppressed nearby.

Seeing Lu Qing look over, Li Changbo’s heart instantly froze with horror.

Their conversation had been heard very clearly by him earlier.

This wench actually knew this terrifying young man.

Doesn’t that mean he’s in grave danger!

Li Changbo’s eyes showed a look of panic; he wanted to plead for mercy.

However, being suppressed by Lu Qing, he could neither speak nor unleash his Divine Soul Power, much less perform the Divine Soul Transmission technique, as even his Forehead Acupoint was sealed tight.

Lu Qing disregarded Li Changbo’s pleading eyes, merely looking at him calmly.

“Earlier, listening to your righteous speech, you seemed to long for your wife.”

“Since that’s the case, let me see if you’re truly that deeply loving her.”

As he spoke, Lu Qing gently pointed a finger, and in Li Changbo’s terrified gaze, touched his forehead.

In the next moment, Li Changbo trembled all over, his eyes instantly becoming vacant.

“Honored One, what are you doing…”

The Cold Water Palace Master saw that Li Changbo’s eyes were dull, but his aura was still there, and was about to ask a question.

Lu Qing waved his hand: “It’s just a small illusion technique, just keep watching and you’ll see.”

The Cold Water Palace Master immediately fell silent.

She quickly saw a look of struggle appear on Li Changbo’s face, followed closely by an expression of immense terror.

“No! It wasn’t me! Xiao Lin, I didn’t harm you!”

“Your death has nothing to do with me!”

“You have to believe me, I truly loved you!”

“I didn’t intentionally make you steal the Exotic Treasure!”

“The death of you and the child has nothing to do with me!”

Li Changbo desperately explained something, terror written across his face.

But strangely, his eyes remained dull, showing no signs of regaining clarity.

Listening to his words, the Cold Water Palace Master felt a stirring in her heart.

She remembered that the previous Holy Daughter had a name that included a Lin character.

The Supreme said he cast an illusion technique; could it be about Li Changbo and his wife?

Was he now explaining to his wife in the Illusion Realm?

Just as the Cold Water Palace Master was about to hear how Li Changbo would continue his defense.

Suddenly, the terror on his face vanished, replaced by a twisted and violent expression.

“Correct, I purposefully deceived you from the start. Since the first time I learned you were the Holy Daughter of Cold Water Palace, with ancestral treasures passed down, I’ve been plotting!”

“As expected, I wasn’t wrong; you, a naive Holy Daughter from the secret land, couldn’t discern truth from lies!”

“With just a little trick, I had you so dazzled, you agreed to marry me!”

“And back when our hideout was discovered by Cold Water Palace’s people, it was because I deliberately leaked it.”

“Without doing so, how would you have been so wholeheartedly devoted to me, taking my word as law, and grown to resent that venomous woman for disrupting our peaceful life!”

“Come to think of it, you’re truly stupid! Even after that venomous woman slaughtered your clan, you stayed loyal to her. If not for my act of self-sacrifice, you would never have betrayed her!”

“But it was precisely your stupidity that made it so easy for you to fall for my scheme, finally agreeing to return to the secret land to help me steal that treasure.”

“Indeed, after obtaining the treasure, it was I who intentionally exposed our whereabouts again, allowing Cold Water Palace to capture you back!”

“The child? What child? Once I master supreme divine skills and wield the Magical Treasure, the entire world will be mine!

Children are nothing; if I wish to father more, countless women would be willing, and I could have as many as I want!”

“You stupid woman, since you’re dead, just rest in peace, why come back to haunt me!”

“And you, bastard, where did you come from? I’m not your father, be careful or I’ll kick you to death!”

“Turn into a Fierce Ghost and still won’t let me go? Hahahaha… I’m now a Golden Core True Man. What can mere vengeful spirits do to me? Watch as I refine you ghostly souls to death!”

“Stupid woman, die, and you bastard, die too. How dare you call me father, I don’t have such an ugly son!”

…

Accompanied by his mad shouting, Li Changbo’s face also became utterly deranged.

In the Cold Water City below, countless people were shocked and chilled to the bone listening to these venomous shouts.

None of them expected that these outrageous words would come from a Golden Core True Man who had once claimed to avenge his wife and child.

Among them, a Martial Arts Expert who once knew Li Changbo couldn’t help but say:

“Who would have thought Li Changbo was such a person? I once admired his deep affection and loyalty!”

“Indeed, he once said the Long Hatred Sect’s name was due to his hatred of heaven’s injustice.

For preventing him from staying with his wife and sharing family happiness with the son he never met.

But never did I think his wife and child were killed by his own hands!”

“I’ve visited the Long Hatred Sect and was impressed by his demeanor, sharing drinks with him.

Now in hindsight, I just regret how blind I was back then!”

“Peh, what Golden Core True Man, he’s worse than pigs and dogs!”

“Even a tiger doesn’t eat its cubs, and what’s the use of high Cultivation, a person like this is worse than beasts!”

…

Amidst the city-wide curses, Li Changbo, having had the Divine Power quietly withdrawn by Lu Qing, woke from the Illusion Realm.
