"Little chubby, if I'm not mistaken, you are the Ling Wan of Xuanyin Hall, right?"
Just as the angry shout from Ling Wan subsided and everyone was drawn to the unexpected turn of events, the old man who resembled Lu Tianrun interrupted directly, and the na he ntioned stunned the crowd, causing their hearts to tremble wildly.
Since the battle on Impermanence Island, not only has Yun Xiao's reputation soared, but the companions around him have also gained fa, with Hu Ying'er being the most renowned among them.
After all, Hu Ying'er had rebuilt Impermanence Island and, in just two months, had revived its fa, almost equal to one of the previously renowned islands. Cultivators from the Eastern Domain and the Southeast Territory flocked there, and it beca the talk of the town.
Conversely, the dual charms of dicine and poison from Lianyun Mountain, the Queen of Absolute Vein and the One-shot Saint Son from Xuanyin Hall, the Red-dressed Immortal from Demons Mountain, and even Yun Xiao's two demon pets beca hot topics among the continent's many cultivators.
While marveling at Yun Xiao's formidable strength, the cultivators also beca familiar with his companions, learning that several of them ca from the Hidden Dragon Continent.
For example, Xuanyin Hall's One-shot Saint Son, Ling Wan, just like Yun Xiao, hailed from the lower plane of the Hidden Dragon Continent and now stood among the elite of the younger generation on the Tenglong Continent, rivaling even so of the older experts.
Despite so finding the na Ling Wan peculiar, they suppressed this odd impression once they heard the tales. On the continent, strength ultimately commands respect.
As long as your strength is enough to crush the continent's cultivators, no one will dare belittle you, no matter what your na is. That's the awe that strength commands.
However, many knew that Ling Wan belonged to Xuanyin Hall, so seeing him at the Lianyun Mountain trading conference was both shocking and revealing, suggesting the One-shot Saint Son might have accompanied Yun Xiao back to Lianyun Mountain.
Once they had figured out Ling Wan's strength and connections, those who had mocked him earlier imdiately reversed their judgnts.
With the backing of Xuanyin Hall and Yun Xiao as a big brother, surely no one would dare provoke him on Lianyun Mountain, right?
"Old man, you have so insight. Since you know it's , why don't you obediently return what you took?"
Seeing the other party recognize his identity at a glance, Ling Wan felt his anger subside sowhat. Extending his hand with a certain tone, the onlookers thought the old man was about to compromise.
"Heh, if you weren't Ling Wan or unrelated to Yun Xiao, perhaps I would give Lianyun Mountain so face!"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a flicker of venom flashed in the old man's eyes as he gritted his teeth and said, "But since Yun Xiao killed my brother, this hatred is irreconcilable. Everyone associated with him is my mortal enemy, Lu Tianwen!"
These words were practically squeezed out between the old man's teeth. Hearing "Lu Tianwen," so experienced ridian Refining Masters couldn't help but change their expressions.
"Lu Tianwen? Didn't he die long ago? How could he still be alive?"
"It's said that years ago, Lu Tianwen was the Vice President of Spirit Fighting Comrce. He died after going into madness while forcibly cultivating an interdiate Heaven Rank ridian Technique!"
"After that, the position of Vice President at Spirit Fighting Comrce fell into the hands of Lu Tianwen's brother, Lu Tianrun!"
"I never thought this old monster was still alive! Since he is Lu Tianrun's elder brother, his cultivation must at least be at the Floating Life Realm Peak level, right?"
"Heh, Lu Tianrun died at Yun Xiao's hands on Impermanence Island, and Ling Wan is Yun Xiao's brother. This is going to be interesting!"
"..."
Instantly, the crowd began to murmur, with many words reaching Ling Wan's ears. He imdiately understood who this old man was and why he had snatched away his already secured Mixed Elent Grass.
Back on Impermanence Island, Ling Wan had witnessed Vice President Lu Tianrun of Spirit Fighting Comrce die at the hands of his big brother Yun Xiao. Given that, their enmity was indeed irreconcilable.
However, unlike so of the inford onlookers, Ling Wan was unaware of the details behind Lu Tianwen's resurrection. He only knew that this ti, he might be in trouble.
No matter how you looked at it, Ling Wan sensed that this old man nad Lu Tianwen was a genuine Floating Life Realm Peak expert. Having just broken through to the Floating Life Realm Early Stage himself, he was far from being a match.
"Kid, this ti, I ca to attend the ridian Refining Conference. The item is in my hand now, so if you don't relent, don't bla for being ruthless!"
Although Lu Tianwen harbored deep hatred towards everyone connected to Yun Xiao, he ca to Lianyun Mountain with a deeper purpose and didn't dare to actually kill at the trading conference.
But as Lu Tianwen stated, if Ling Wan initiated the attack, the nature of the situation would change dramatically. At that point, if he retaliated with full force, killing a re Floating Life Realm Early Stage Ling Wan on legitimate grounds, the ridian Refining Master Association wouldn't have much to say.
"Damn it!"
Upon hearing Lu Tianwen's words, Ling Wan's face turned extrely grim. For the first ti, he felt that even after breaking through to the Heavenly Rank Third Realm, there were still tis when he felt powerless. Perhaps this ti, he really had to compromise.
Although Ling Wan had successfully traded first earlier, he hadn't secured the Mixed Elent Grass. If he could have secured it before Lu Tianwen acted, there might have been a slim chance of turning things around.
Though Ling Wan was simple-minded, he wasn't a fool. From Lu Tianwen's expression, he realized that the latter intentionally wanted to provoke him into acting first, so he could take the opportunity to kill him.
Thus, Ling Wan knew he had to endure. Since this guy ca here to participate in the ridian Refining Conference, he would certainly appear again. At that ti, he would find Brother Yun Xiao to help address this matter.
"Old geezer, consider this..."
Whish!
Just as Ling Wan felt extrely unwilling but had to compromise, wanting to say sothing harsh, suddenly, a sound of sothing slicing through the air ca. Following that, a black light akin to a skybound celestial ca fiercely slashing towards Lu Tianwen's right wrist.
"What is this..."
Upon seeing that streak of black light, Ling Wan felt an odd sense of familiarity that he couldn't quite place at the mont. However, his face now showed a mix of surprise and joy.
After all, the black light's target wasn't Ling Wan but Lu Tianwen, aning it wasn't his enemy. Subconsciously, a peculiar thought arose in Ling Wan's mind, thinking that the old geezer might be in for trouble.
"What the hell is that thing?"
The sudden black light startled Lu Tianwen, a super expert of the Floating Life Realm Peak. It ca so unexpectedly that he had no ti to react.
However, Lu Tianwen was, after all, a super expert of Douling Comrce. Even in this fleeting mont, he reacted extrely quickly, swiftly retracting the hand holding the Mixed Elent Grass with astonishing speed.
This scene impressed the onlooking cultivators deeply. The black light had co so unexpectedly, yet Lu Tianwen evaded it so swiftly, leaving people in awe.
"That thing... It seems to be a wooden sword!"
It wasn't until Lu Tianwen had retracted his hand that so ridian refining masters in the crowd, with considerable soul power, sensed the nature of the black light, marveling with an unusual tone.
"Could it be the Dragon Taming Sword?"
Another ridian refining master at the Earth Rank Middle Level voiced the most shocking guess on everyone's mind. After all, the na of the Dragon Taming Sword had beco as well-known as its owner, Yun Xiao, throughout the Tenglong Continent.
To be honest, when many first heard the na "Dragon Taming Sword," they were dismissive. After all, this was the Nine Dragons Continent, where the Divine Dragon was the supre deity. Who dared claim to "ta dragons?"
However, after that young man established his own dignity, cultivators of the Tenglong Continent gradually accepted the fact, and that Supre Divine Weapon called the Dragon Taming Sword had almost beco Yun Xiao's trademark.
"Since the Dragon Taming Sword is here, that person shouldn't be far either!"
After recognizing the Dragon Taming Sword, many sharp-minded cultivators glanced around, hoping to spot the legendary peerless demon.
Whoosh!
At this mont, just as Lu Tianwen instinctively pulled back his hand, another sound of sothing slicing through the air suddenly ca. Following that, a gray-robed figure appeared beside Lu Tianwen.
Seemingly anticipating Lu Tianwen's retraction, the figure beside him moved with great speed and accuracy, extending his index and middle fingers at lightning speed to tap on Lu Tianwen's wrist.
Right after narrowly escaping the black light, Lu Tianwen was secretly relieved but didn't expect the opponent to have a follow-up move, one that was preditated, leaving him with no chance to evade.
This tap on Lu Tianwen's wrist wasn't arbitrary but precisely struck a critical point, causing his right hand to go numb instantly, prompting him to involuntarily release his grasp.
Bear in mind that Lu Tianwen was still holding the Mixed Elent Grass in his hand. As he loosened his grip, a hand swiftly reached out to take hold of the grass, finally concluding this episode.
Though it seed like a long story, everything transpired within a re two or three breaths. Within these brief monts, the Mixed Elent Grass in Lu Tianwen's hand changed owners, landing in soone else's possession.
"It really is him!"
As the crowd shifted their gazes from Lu Tianwen's deeply gloomy face to the owner of the arm that snatched the Mixed Elent Grass, their previous suspicions were confird, and they couldn't help but gasp.
