When Chen Fei had previously swept through the Heavenly Group of Capital City's training base, he had even defeated Yan Zhen, who had just returned from the Cultivation World. It was a dominant victory. As a result, the people of the Four Departnts of Capital City had an extrely deep impression of this baleful star.
When the cry of recognition echoed, the silence was instantly broken by a hushed commotion. The mbers of the Four Departnts of Capital City stared at Chen Fei, their expressions a mixture of astonishnt and shock. We didn't expect... this baleful star would co here too.
This sudden shift in their deanor was obvious, and it caused the others present to look on in surprise. They cast strange glances at Chen Fei, sizing him up.
They weren't fools; on the contrary, they were all clever people. How could they not understand that anyone who could make the mbers of the Four Departnts react so strongly was not to be provoked? The re thought made their faces flush with embarrassnt.
Before this, they had thought the young man was just an arrogant fool who didn't understand the situation. They had even laughed and sneered at him in private. But now? Now, setting aside the almost theatrical reaction from the mbers of the Four Departnts, the terrifying aura Chen Fei had displayed monts ago was enough to send shivers down their spines and make their scalps tingle. They were beginning to understand that this man was truly not soone to be trifled with.
Amidst the astonished and shocked murmurs, Zhu Longying's expression changed instantly. His heart skipped a beat, and with a gloomy face, he finally turned to leave. As he did, he snorted coldly, "Hmph! Cao Qiguo, consider yourself lucky this ti..."
"Stop right there!"
A cold shout suddenly rang out. Chen Fei's pitch-black eyes narrowed, a sharp, cold light glinting in their depths. "Did I say you could leave?" Show off and then try to run? The world isn't that kind.
Chen Fei's words sent the crowd into another uproar.
Zhu Longying, who had just turned to leave, froze mid-stride. His face finally darkened, his cheeks twitching as his expression grew livid and ugly.
Then, with a sound like a sudden `WHOOSH`, Zhu Longying spun back around, his cold eyes glaring at Chen Fei.
"What do you want? To attack ? Do you want an apology?" Zhu Longying sneered. "Kid, don't you think you're getting a bit ahead of yourself? I gave you an out, and you refuse to take it?" He couldn't believe it. He had been the one to back down and leave, yet the other party wasn't satisfied and wanted to push his luck.
Pah! What a joke. This is Immortal Ascension Valley, not the outside world... Does he really think he's sothing special?!
His expression suddenly grew arrogant. Staring coldly at Chen Fei, he said slowly, "Kid, I know you must have so backing to be this strong. But do you really think that I, Zhu Longying, have no background or status of my own!?"
After speaking, he deliberately lifted his chin, staring down at Chen Fei, as if expecting to see fear or apprehension. But reality was a great disappointnt; Chen Fei completely ignored his posturing.
"You!"
This utter disregard from Chen Fei naturally made Zhu Longying, who had been feeling so superior and proud, look even more sullen and hideous. His face twisted as he stared at Chen Fei, his tone dripping with malice. "Kid, aren't you being a little too arrogant!? Do you have any idea who I am?"
Watching Zhu Longying's foolish outburst, most of the onlookers had a mocking glint in their eyes. But mixed with the mockery were other emotions: envy and jealousy. It couldn't be helped. Though Zhu Longying's behavior was that of a petty man who had just co into power, he had indeed caught the eye of the masters from the Purple Fla Palace.
The Purple Fla Palace was a true Qi Cultivation Sect from that other world. More importantly, it was widely acknowledged as the strongest among the Five Great Immortal Sects that had arrived. For the Ancient Martial Artists and low-level Qi Practitioners from Earth, it was an existence they could only gaze upon with awe.
And now, Zhu Longying had been chosen by this suprely powerful Qi Cultivation Sect that they could only admire from afar. How could they not burn with envy and jealousy?
Before Chen Fei could respond, Zhu Longying began to speak again, his voice thick with agitated pride. "Kid, let tell you, just yesterday, I, Zhu Longying, was chosen by the great masters of the Purple Fla Palace to beco a Disciple! Do you understand what that ans?" As he spoke, his expression grew increasingly arrogant, his gaze taking on an air of invincibility. He seed certain that his words would be enough to make Chen Fei realize his error and cower in terror.
However, when his proud, conceited gaze fell upon Chen Fei's face once more, hoping to find panic and fright, Zhu Longying's own face turned ashen. In the next mont, his eyes began to redden, looking as if they were about to spew flas.
Because, of course, there wasn't the slightest trace of panic or alarm on Chen Fei's face. On the contrary, his expression and his eyes held nothing but a piercing, mocking sneer.
It was the look of soone enjoying a clown's performance. And who was the clown? None other than Zhu Longying himself.
"You... I..."
Seeing that dismissive sneer on Chen Fei's face, Zhu Longying's expression instantly beca utterly ferocious and twisted. An intense wave of humiliation and rage surged through him. The gazes from all directions felt like needles stabbing into his bones and flesh. This was simply too humiliating!
It was as if he, Zhu Longying, were nothing more than a clown jumping up and down for show.
But... am I really a clown?
I've been chosen by the Purple Fla Palace, the strongest of the Five Great Immortal Sects! In the future, I'll undoubtedly beco a preeminent figure, reach the pinnacle, and beco a great Qi Practitioner who can control the fates of mortals! Isn't that enough to prove my worth? Why else would everyone here be so envious and jealous of !? The status of a true Qi Practitioner Sect Disciple puts on a completely different level from everyone else here. We're not even in the sa world anymore!
And yet, this Chen Fei dares to ignore , to treat like a jumping clown! How could I not be enraged!?
The humiliation and fury inside him erupted like a volcano, becoming utterly uncontrollable.
With a dark expression, he pointed a finger at Chen Fei's nose and began to shriek, "You dog, who the hell do you think you are!? Don't get cocky just because you have a little strength! Do you even know where this is? This is Immortal Ascension Valley! It's where the Five Great Immortal Sects choose their Disciples!
"And I! Zhu Longying! I've already been chosen by the mightiest of them all, the Purple Fla Palace! What right does a dog like you have to compare yourself to ? Believe it or not, with a single word from , you'll be thrown the hell out of Immortal Ascension Valley!"
The man had clearly lost control. It was understandable, in a way. He was a nobody who had suddenly struck it rich, and his ego was massively inflated. He couldn't tolerate anyone defying him or challenging his newfound authority.
And Chen Fei's actions had been a vicious slap to his face.
`HISS!`
When the mbers of the Four Departnts of Capital City saw the hugely inflated Zhu Longying dare to point at the baleful star's nose and scream curses, their expressions changed instantly, and they drew in sharp breaths of cold air.
They knew Zhu Longying had been chosen by the masters of the Purple Fla Palace. They also knew the incredible power those three words represented. But that was one thing, and Chen Fei was another. That man seed to play by a completely different set of rules. And now, Zhu Longying was pointing at his nose and cursing him out. This... this is just suicide, isn't it?
They had assessed Chen Fei correctly. In the next instant, his expression turned grim.
"Good. Very good." As Chen Fei's face darkened, his Spiritual Energy surged, forming a hand of blazing fla that shot out from afar and closed fiercely around Zhu Longying's neck.
Zhu Longying's pupils contracted violently as a look of utter shock spread across his face.
An intensely scalding force had clamped down on his neck, and his entire body was lifted helplessly into the air by that terrifying power.
His face quickly turned a sickening shade of purple from lack of air. Not only that, but the skin around his neck began to scorch and split open, as if it were being roasted.
"A Qi Practitioner!? He's a Qi Practitioner!"
Seeing this terrifying scene—the hand of fire that had effortlessly lifted Zhu Longying by the neck—everyone else present, aside from the mbers of the Four Departnts of Capital City, finally cried out in horror. Many of them gasped, stunned into silence.
