The atmosphere was particularly solemn, and it was quiet all around.
Both could hear each other's heartbeat.
"Get your dirty hands off !" the woman suddenly shouted coldly.
Xu Nian then realized his hand was in an inappropriate place and quickly withdrew it.
"Turn your head away," the woman coldly shouted again.
Xu Nian, feeling helpless, knew the woman was going to get dressed, but he still did as he was told.
However, he felt disdainful in his heart, thinking that having already seen what was not ant to be seen, turning away now seed a bit like deceiving himself.
Soon the woman finished dressing, and by the ti Xu Nian turned back around, she had changed into a black dress.
The black dress accentuated her figure to perfection and, although she was now dressed, it still couldn't hide her impressive figure.
"If you look at again, I'll gouge out your eyes," the woman said icily.
Xu Nian had no choice but to look away.
This woman's appearance and deanor far surpassed that of Zhang Tian.
If rated out of ten, Zhang Tian would barely score a seven, whereas this woman was definitely a nine.
"Who are you? Why are you here? What's in this lake?" the woman asked a series of questions.
Xu Nian was speechless and didn't bother to respond to the woman.
With a thought, he dissolved the Xuan Ice and planned to leave.
The lake's surface had cald down again, and Xu Nian knew it was because the seal at the bottom of the lake was taking effect.
The more the Demon Beast at the bottom struggled, the more the seal tornted it.
So as long as he didn't provoke the Demon Beast again, he wouldn't be attacked.
"Stop, I'm talking to you. I see you're dressed as an Outer Disciple; I'm commanding you as an Inner Sect Disciple to explain what's going on here," the young woman ordered coldly.
"Hmph, Inner Sect Disciple, think you're so great? Others might fear you, but I don't. Goodbye," Xu Nian snorted coldly and prepared to leave.
The woman's tone of voice irritated him, as if she expected everyone to obey her.
Yann Xi was furious inside. Not only had this young man seen her body, but he also showed such disdain towards her.
It should be noted that her suitors in the Artifact Refining Sect could line up from one end of the hill to the other, yet no one had ever spoken to her like this.
"Stop right there, I must teach you a lesson today!" Yann Xi shouted angrily and, with that, her Two-star War General Level cultivation burst forth, and she fiercely attacked Xu Nian.
"How presumptuous!"
Xu Nian felt the fierce aura coming from behind and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
Without a word, he responded with a palm.
"Bang!"
Spiritual Energy exploded, and Yann Xi was sent flying backward, landing heavily so distance away.
A shocked expression appeared on her face.
She had been sent flying by a single palm strike from this young man; how was that possible?
And his cultivation was at the peak of the Nine-star Martial Sect.
Such a young Nine-star Martial Sect Peak, and his strength was even above hers; how could this be?
But before she could look up again toward Xu Nian, she realized he had already disappeared.
Yann Xi got up from the ground, staring in surprise and anger at the spot where Xu Nian had vanished.
The young man was clearly much younger than her, yet his combat power was above hers.
And such a young man with extraordinary cultivation was only an Outer Disciple.
Now recalling the young man's strange thods from before, she realized he was not simple.
She initially did not want to pursue the matter of Xu Nian having seen her body, especially since Xu Nian had saved her life.
But Xu Nian's recent attitude made the typically proud Yann Xi feel very uncomfortable.
"I don't care who you are, I will find you and make you pay for today's incident," Yann Xi clenched her fist, her eyes gleaming fiercely.
After saying this, she glanced back at Black Fla Lake and then transford into a silhouette, quickly leaving the place.
…
When Xu Nian returned to the residence, it was already fully bright.
However, before he even entered, a noisy commotion was coming from inside the courtyard.
"Zhang Yu, Zhao Cheng, what is the aning of this?" Zhang ng's voice ca from inside.
Xu Nian ntioned Zhang Yu and Zhao Cheng were the other two young n living in the sa house as them.
"What do you an, yesterday you were all high and mighty, but do you know that Jing Haoyang is our boss? You've offended him, you should know the consequences," said Zhang Yu's voice.
"Hmph, where did I offend Jing Haoyang? The weapons he refined had issues to begin with, I just told the truth," Zhang ng imdiately retorted.
"We don't know how truly skilled you are yet. Among the three of us, your artifact refining has always been the worst. And you still think you're a genius; it must have been that newcor causing the trouble. Don't worry, neither you nor he will get away," Zhao Cheng followed, his tone filled with disdain.
"You guys are being too much. Yes, I spoiled Jing Haoyang's plan, but it was his own fault. The weapons he produced were junk, he admitted it himself, a fair wager lost; how can others be blad?" Zhang ng said angrily.
He had asked Xu Nian to act but there was self-interest involved, yet it was also the truth, so he felt no remorse for his actions.
"Look at you, still talking tough. Fine, since that's the case, let's teach you a lesson first," Zhang Yu coldly snorted and then moved to strike Zhang ng.
Zhang ng's cultivation was lower than Zhang Yu's; he was no match and could only keep retreating.
"Humph, take a punch from first."
With a cold snort, Zhang Yu caught Zhang ng's opening and directed a punch straight at his chest.
This punch would surely inflict severe injuries on Zhang ng.
A trace of unwillingness flashed in Zhang ng's eyes, yet he couldn't avoid the punch and could only watch as the fist smashed towards him.
"Bang!"
However, Zhang Yu's fist didn't land on Zhang ng but was blocked by a palm.
Zhang Yu was stunned, turning his head to look at Xu Nian, who had suddenly appeared next to Zhang ng, his face showing a hint of surprise.
"Yesterday's incident was my doing. If Jing Haoyang wants revenge, he can co directly to . It has nothing to do with Zhang ng," Xu Nian said coldly to Zhang Yu.
"Hmph, we were about to co for you anyway. I didn't expect you to co to us willingly. Fine, since you did, don't bla us for being inhospitable," Zhang Yu said coldly with a snort, unleashing the full might of a Nine-star Warrior's aura and launching a Xuan-level Fist Technique at Xu Nian.
Though he didn't know how this man called Xu Nian had blocked his attack, from his view, Xu Nian was much younger, and no matter how capable, surely couldn't be that powerful.
Zhang ng also felt worried and surprised, that Xu Nian would take the bla for him like this.
They had agreed beforehand that he would take the bla for this.
This touched his heart deeply.
No matter what happened, he couldn't let Xu Nian be involved.
Though Xu Nian might be good at refining artifacts, his strength might not necessarily match Zhang Yu's, especially since Xu Nian was younger.
However, the next mont, he was astounded.
Without any noticeable movent, Xu Nian simply kicked out and sent Zhang Yu, who was unleashing a Xuan-level combat skill, flying.
Zhang Yu spat out a mouthful of blood and passed out.
Zhao Cheng's eyes widened in disbelief.
Going over to Zhang Yu's side and checking him, his expression beca even more horrified.
Zhang Yu's chest had over a dozen broken ribs.
How powerful must that kick have been?
Zhang ng was equally astonished.
Xu Nian hadn't even used spiritual energy in that kick.
Just relying on physical strength alone, he exhibited such formidable power.
What level of strength was that?
Battle Sect?
But how could there be such a young Battle Sect mber?
However, what he didn't know was that Xu Nian had actually held back with that kick.
Had he used his full strength, Zhang ng would have been reduced to nothing but bones.
Xu Nian paid no mind to the shocked expressions of the two n, his gaze cold as he looked at Zhao Cheng and said, "If Jing Haoyang wants revenge, let him co find . If I see you ssing with Zhang ng again, it won't just be passing out; get lost."
Xu Nian's words were chilling, shaking Zhao Cheng to the core.
He hurriedly carried Zhang Yu and slinked away.
Zhang ng stood still, admiration thick in his eyes.
"Co, let's go to the Outer Elder Hall," Xu Nian said to the surprised Zhang ng.
"Why go to the Elder Hall?" Zhang ng asked, puzzled.
Xu Nian smiled and said, "To advance to an Inner Sect Disciple!"
What?
Zhang ng was stunned, almost thinking he had heard wrong!
