"Boom!"
As soon as the words were spoken, it was as though thunder had exploded from Shen Qing's body, unleashing a force several times mightier than before that swept through the entire hall like a violent storm.
Caught off guard, Xue Yan felt an immense pressure bearing down on him like a mountain, causing his knees to buckle, almost dropping him to the ground.
His heart raced, and he quickly activated an Inheritance Jade in his hand.
The Jade emitted a clear, dazzling light and quickly formed a semicircular Shield in front of him, blocking the terrible pressure from reaching him.
With the protection of the Shield, the pressure on Xue Yan eased instantly, allowing him to catch his breath.
He glared at Shen Qing, his eyes filled with both shock and anger, "Shen Qing, don't scorn the wine offered, and drink the penalty instead. Do you realize you are challenging the authority of the Xue Family?"
