The appearance of the three figures immediately brought a terrifying aura of pressure, engulfing the white jade platform.
It was as if the wind had ceased to howl; everything within and without the snow mountain fell silent.
Kong Qingzi and the others looked at the three newcomers, their expressions shaken.
Kong Qingzi bowed respectfully and called out, "Elder Qu, Elder Mo, Elder Luan!"
Bai Yazhi also felt it and immediately said, "Bai Yazhi greets the three elders!"
The others chimed in one after another, their reverence palpable.
These three figures hovered in mid-air, two men and one woman. The woman was not wearing a daoist robe but a white palace dress, its hem swaying.
Their gazes fell upon Chen Fan, who was still holding Bai Yazhi.
After exchanging greetings, Bai Yazhi laughed, a look of disdain for Chen Fan in his eyes.
"Presumptuous!"
The three elders of the Grand Daoist Academies instantly understood the situation. One of them, a daoist elder in his fifties or sixties with prominent cheekbones and a hooked nose, became enraged.
Without asking any questions, he waved his hand, and a surge of immense power descended upon Chen Fan.
Chen Fan's pupils contracted sharply.
With a simple wave of his hand, this elder made him feel as if the entire world was pressing down on him.
Compared to when Huangfu Xi had attacked him, the pressure was several times greater.
This indicated that Huangfu Xi had not used his full strength back then.
Chen Fan released Bai Yazhi. Facing the seemingly endless pressure, he straightened his back, his fighting spirit soaring to the heavens.
From the very first encounter, he was forced to use his full strength, resisting the pressure with his hard-won battle intent.
He stood ramrod straight, his sword held horizontally, as untamed as a dragon, as sharp as a blade.
The invisible pressure could not make him budge even an inch.
The elder was slightly surprised. His fingers moved, exuding a profound aura, and streaks of finger energy shot through the air towards Chen Fan.
The sharp finger energy carried a scorching heat. The moment it flew out, Chen Fan felt the temperature rapidly rise.
Chen Fan had no way to dodge and could only block with his sword.
*Puff puff puff…*
The finger energy struck his sword. The Tian Cong Yun Sword trembled, its fierce aura diminished, managing to block the elder's attack.
Even so, he was forced to take a few steps back.
The elder was even more astonished, but his pride was wounded. He flipped his hand, and spiritual light surged, his true qi vast.
"Elder Qu, please wait!"
Another man beside the elder, a middle-aged man, suddenly spoke. He said, "For over two thousand years, no one has dared to cause trouble in the Kunlun Secret Realm. Let's first ask about his origins."
The middle-aged man, appearing to be in his mid-forties, was tall and slender, wearing a green daoist robe. He carried a long sword on his back, exuding an air of calm and refinement.
"Why ask? Anyone who dares to offend our Kunlun Secret Realm shall be killed!"
Elder Qu's temper was clearly as fiery as Yun Yazhi's, he boomed.
"Ask him if he has any support from rogue cultivators or any particular forces behind him."
The man smiled, his body flickered, and he landed gracefully, blocking in front of Elder Qu.
His gaze fell upon Bai Yazhi. "Fellow Daoist Bai Yazhi, what exactly happened?"
Bai Yazhi finally relaxed. As he was about to speak, he couldn't help but cough.
"Martial Uncle Mo, this scoundrel's name is Chen Fan. He has an unusual relationship with Xue Qingzi, the newly appointed Heavenly Chosen disciple of the Academy. He intends to force his way into the secret realm to see Xue Qingzi!"
At this moment, Yun Yazhi spoke urgently, explaining the situation. "After Senior Brother Kong Qingzi and I refused him, he resorted to violence and injured people, trying to force us to open the secret realm entrance. When that failed, he compelled Senior Brother Kong Qingzi to light the Three Incense Sticks of Two Realms."
"After that, even the envoy who came to greet him was injured by him!"
The sequence of events was not complicated.
Elder Mo frowned upon hearing this and turned to look at the last woman. "Elder Luan?"
The woman also floated down, appraising Chen Fan, and said with a frown, "You are Chen Fan?"
Hearing her tone, Chen Fan was slightly taken aback and replied, "I am!"
"Xue Qing mentioned you."
The woman said, "You forced your way into Kunlun just to see Xue Qing?"
"Yes."
Chen Fan said, "I want to see her with my own eyes. If she doesn't want to stay in Kunlun, I will take her away!"
"Heh, such arrogance. You think you can take away a Heavenly Chosen disciple of Kunlun?"
The previous Elder Qu snorted coldly. "You overestimate yourself!"
Chen Fan ignored him, his gaze fixed on the woman, waiting for her reply.
"Every Heavenly Chosen disciple is a genius with an extraordinary physique."
The woman said, "For an outsider to take away a Heavenly Chosen disciple, there is no such precedent, nor is it possible!"
"You came to Kunlun and committed violence. For Xue Qingzi's sake, you will cut off your own arms, and then you can leave with your life."
Chen Fan's expression was indifferent. "If I cannot see Su Yingxue, I will not leave."
"Hahaha, this brat is truly obstinate. Elder Luan, he doesn't appreciate your kindness at all. Just strike him dead!"
Elder Qu said.
Elder Luan nodded upon hearing this. "Xue Qingzi's talent is exceptional, a rare sight in centuries. But if worldly desires persist, it is all because of you."
"Since that is the case, then let you die!"
Saying that, she raised her hand, and a white silk ribbon flew out from her sleeve, coiling towards Chen Fan.
As the white ribbon flew out, it seemed to have a life of its own, extremely agile, and carried a sense of confinement and entrapment.
Elder Luan's attack was surprisingly calm, but Chen Fan dared not be careless. He quickly stepped forward and swung his sword.
He struck the white silk ribbon with his sword, but it could not be torn. Instead, it was immediately ensnared.
This white silk ribbon was clearly a powerful artifact, its material extraordinary, impervious to any cutting or tearing by swords and blades.
The white silk ribbon wound around the Tian Cong Yun Sword and simultaneously coiled towards Chen Fan, wrapping and ensnaring him. Chen Fan was surrounded by the white silk ribbon from all sides, an endless expanse that obscured everything.
He retracted his sword and retreated, but he was already completely enveloped by the white silk ribbon, unable to break free despite his struggles.
Sensing danger, he exhaled deeply, his true qi surging wildly, unleashing his peerlessly sharp sword qi and sword intent.
His sword intent was strong, but the moment it struck, it was like sinking into a quagmire, vanishing without a trace.
The heavy white silk ribbon tightened its grip.
Chen Fan knew it was not good, but in the face of such mystical means, he had no solution.
Soon, to the eyes of outsiders, the white silk ribbon coiled into a large cocoon, Chen Fan's figure completely invisible, tightly trapped.
Bai Yazhi and the others looked at Elder Luan, whose figure was graceful and her aura ethereal, their faces filled with awe and admiration.
How fierce Chen Fan had been earlier, even Bai Yazhi, using all his might, had been heavily injured by him, losing the ability to fight.
But now, with just one move from Elder Luan, Chen Fan was bound without any chance to struggle or resist.
This was the power of a Golden Core stage expert, a figure akin to a terrestrial immortal!
The heavy white silk ribbon tightened and tightened. Chen Fan, bound within, initially struggled and thrashed, but eventually, he could no longer move, bound like a zongzi.
Elder Luan flicked her wrist, and the white silk ribbon stopped coiling, but began to contract.
The human-shaped giant cocoon started to shrink continuously.
Without needing to look, one could tell that the binding force was absolutely immense, enough to crush the bones and pulp the flesh of the person trapped inside!
This was also Elder Luan's famous artifact. She rarely fought within the Kunlun Secret Realm, but those who knew her understood that this method was actually extremely powerful and terrifying.
