Chapter 930: Chapter 930

Above the white clouds, Chen Hai and Li Xuanfeng, who seemed to be laughing and chatting just moments ago, suddenly found the conversation irreconcilable.

The atmosphere grew tense, and both fell silent, their eyes fixed on each other.

Although the Immortal Tea brewed with Rootless Water was fragrant, when Li Xuanfeng drank it, it felt tasteless, as if he were chewing wax.

He was inherently proud and lofty, rarely giving a direct glance to anyone he didn’t acknowledge.

He admired Chen Hai, believing that only such a favored youth was worthy to associate with him and journey together on the path of seeking truth.

For this reason, he always maintained considerable patience when dealing with Chen Hai.

How many times had he attempted to invite Chen Hai, only to be rejected? Li Xuanfeng had already lost count.

Before, even when refusing his overtures, Chen Hai would do so politely, merely stating that he would consider.

Never before had Li Xuanfeng encountered such a decisive and firm refusal as this time.

Reflecting on the immense sincerity he had shown and the patience he had invested, yet still ending with such a result, his heart was truly already at the peak of dissatisfaction.

"Chen Hai, won’t you reconsider?"

"Are you really determined to reject my goodwill and firmly refuse to join our War God Palace?"

After a brief silence, Li Xuanfeng picked up the cup of hot tea before him and drank it in one gulp.

Then, with a composed face, he looked directly at Chen Hai and confirmed.

"I have already said that I am accustomed to living freely, and if possible, I will definitely not join any force."

"Taoist Brother Li, how many times have I refused your invitations, and you still won’t give up?"

"Is it that my words haven’t been clear enough?"

"Or perhaps, in matters decided by you, no other person’s opposition can be tolerated?"

Facing Li Xuanfeng, although a smile still hung on Chen Hai’s face, his words seemed to carry a hint of gunpowder.

To be honest, Li Xuanfeng, aside from being overly arrogant, was acceptable in other respects.

However, upon meeting himself, Li Xuanfeng either wished to make him a disciple or have him become a subordinate.

Such invitations, once or twice, could be ignored; but when they happened repeatedly, anyone would find it wearisome.

This time, Chen Hai treated him courteously.

Yet Li Xuanfeng couldn’t engage in a decent conversation, constantly returning to his purpose, and this irked Chen Hai immensely.

Not wanting him to harbor inappropriate notions any longer, Chen Hai’s refusal was somewhat firmer, leading Li Xuanfeng to seemingly prepare to break relations directly...

Even a nice person has a temper, and Chen Hai, who had suppressed his frustration for quite some time, steeled himself, unwilling to continue engaging cordially!

"People who catch my eye, even searching the whole Primordial Land, would not be many."

"Chen Hai, being appreciated by me can only be seen as lucky for you."

"However, my patience has reached its limit with you."

"Joining our War God Palace, you and I would be Taoist friends, walking the Great Path together; refusing my goodwill implies you might one day become my enemy."

"I will definitely not allow my enemies to grow to a point where they could pose a genuine threat to me."

"You, having just stepped into the Quasi-Saint Realm, know your own strength very well."

"I suggest you surrender and follow me back to the War God Palace; in that case, you might have a slight chance of survival. Due to admiring your talent, I would only suppress you, not directly kill you!"

"If forced into action, you should understand the consequences!"

The teacup in Li Xuanfeng’s hand shattered with a squeeze.

With a brushing sound, he rose directly, his compelling gaze fixed on Chen Hai.

As if issuing a final ultimatum, he spoke slowly and deliberately.

"What? Li Xuanfeng, you are ready to resort to violence after failing to recruit?"

"Calling you Taoist Brother, I respect your age and cultivation time over mine; do you truly believe you can trap me?"

"Do you possess the capability to make me surrender?"

"Remembering our past camaraderie from the Outer Chaos when you visit, naturally, I will treat you hospitably, but you? You force me to break our ties!"

"So be it; let’s first battle in the Thirty-Three Layers of Heaven!"

With a cold laugh, Chen Hai also stood.

Since Li Xuanfeng prepared to sever ties completely, Chen Hai was equally weary of pretending civility.

Leaving his words behind, Chen Hai soared towards the direction of Outer Heaven.

Quasi-Saint level battles are enough to shatter the land.

The area lay above the void of West Barbarian Mountain, too close to Black Water Immortal Mountain for a battle here to be appropriate.

Chen Hai did not wish, during a battle with Li Xuanfeng, through an accident, to fracture the Golden Dawn Island below.

After all, within the Mirror Moon Space, during simulated battles with Li Xuanfeng, he had once chosen Golden Dawn Island as the battleground.

Whenever he picked this scenario, under Li Xuanfeng’s ultimate desperate Sacrifice Sword, the result always left Golden Dawn Island destroyed by endless sword light.

In light of this, since Chen Hai decided to genuinely battle Li Xuanfeng, he needed a different battlefield.

The Outer Heaven Chaos beyond Primordial already has several Primordial Chaos Daluo Realm Tao Fields opened.

The risks in such places, vast and unknown, were certainly unsuitable for a battle with Li Xuanfeng.

Thinking over, it seemed only the Thirty-Three Layers of Heaven met all his requirements for a battle zone.

"Originally, I believed Chen Hai you were someone capable of seeing your situation clearly; now, it seems I was mistaken."

"At the Quasi-Saint level, I have long found no enemies; yet a newly stepped-in individual dares to challenge me, how perplexing, where does this audacity stem from!" The rıghtful source is 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾※𝙣𝙚𝙩

"Only after awakening you, making you personally feel the vast gulf in our battle capabilities, can you truly understand the heights of heaven and depths of earth!"

Watching Chen Hai soar skyward, Li Xuanfeng hesitated.

Knowing Chen Hai couldn’t be his match, demanding his surrender seemed improbable.

Faced with his ultimatum, the most likely response should have been reasoning and logic.

Yet this situation unfolded unexpectedly for Li Xuanfeng.

Upon realizing, he coldly laughed, transformed into sword light, and shot straight toward the skies.
