"Is it him?"
When Lei Qianjue saw Ye Qingchen, his face darkened.
In the Guangling Secret Realm, his defeat to Ye Qingchen was a devastating blow to his proud character.
Since that ti.
He trained tirelessly, day and night.
This ti, he was following the older sect disciples to train at Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain when he suddenly heard about a beast tide, so he ca to lend a hand. They were just celebrating their victory over the beast tide at a restaurant when, upon leaving, he unexpectedly encountered Ye Qingchen.
"What? You know him?"
At this mont.
A fellow Xingluo Sect disciple, noticing Lei Qianjue’s change in expression, slowly spoke up. This disciple was a tall, sword-bearing young man clad in green, with tied-up long hair and an extraordinary deanor, commanding respect among the surrounding disciples.
"Brother Xu Kuang, with respect, he...is Ye Qingchen!"
Lei Qianjue said in a deep voice.
"Ye Qingchen!"
"So it’s him!"
As soon as those words were spoken.
The crowd around them exclaid, their gazes towards the opponent turned imdiately hostile.
How could they not know about Ye Qingchen?
This was the boy who tarnished the reputation of the eight major sects, and even now, months after the sect selection eting, remains a laughingstock among the public.
If not for the bad reputation of bullying soone weaker, these older disciples would have acted long ago.
"Why is this kid here?" soone asked in confusion.
"Perhaps he ca to deal with the beast tide!" Xu Kuang said, arms crossed, glancing at the opponent and suddenly smirking playfully, "Very well! Let’s take this opportunity to see what this Newcor King is made of!"
Having said that.
The crowd moved forward in a grand procession.
"Their intentions seem hostile!"
Hong Man had been watching the front.
Noticing Lei Qianjue and the others exchange a few words before heading directly their way, he imdiately whispered in warning.
Jiang Churan nodded silently, gripping his sword tightly.
Ye Qingchen stood quietly as well.
In just a mont.
They had already swaggered to the three of them.
"Are you Ye Qingchen?"
Xu Kuang’s gaze was playful.
"Indeed, my na is Ye Qingchen!" Ye Qingchen was unafraid, eting the opponent’s gaze directly.
The guard, who was just explaining Yun Gu City’s local customs to Ye Qingchen, suddenly encountered this scene.
Noticing the tension and the sharp atmosphere, he quickly tried to diate, saying, "Young hero Xu Kuang, these three have also co to help us fend off the beast tide in Yun Gu City!"
However.
The guard’s words did not stop the Xingluo Sect disciples, instead eliciting a scornful laugh from them.
"Yun Gu City only needs Xingluo Sect disciples!"
"They’re here to fend off the beast tide? Are they here to die instead?"
"Indeed, tell them to get lost!"
Many Xingluo Sect disciples mocked.
And Xu Kuang glared directly at Ye Qingchen, speaking slowly and emphatically, "Yun Gu City is not a place for you! Return to where you ca from!"
"Who do you think you are, to tell us to leave?"
Hong Man shouted in anger.
"Hmm?"
Xu Kuang, a disciple of the previous generation, always held himself in high regard.
This was evident as he even showed disdain for Ye Qingchen.
Now.
How could he tolerate Hong Man’s defiance?
Frowning, he let out a cold snort, raising his hand to point.
"Swoosh!"
Suddenly, a burst of Sword Qi erged, leaving a mark several feet long on the ground.
This mark stretched from in front of Xu Kuang all the way to Hong Man, even splitting the ground open!
"Ha!"
Hong Man shouted loudly.
His eyes gleaming, he gripped the Coiling Dragon Staff tightly with both hands, his Qi Blood, and True Qi surging to the limit, shattering the Sword Qi with sheer force.
"Boom!"
A violent explosion echoed.
Hong Man shattered the Sword Qi, but the force it carried caused him to stagger back several steps, his hands trembling uncontrollably, nearly dropping the Coiling Dragon Staff.
"What do you intend to do?"
Ye Qingchen’s face darkened, his eyes flashing coldly.
"That strike was just a warning!" Xu Kuang lowered his right hand, glancing at Ye Qingchen with a half-smile, "Yun Gu City is not a place for you! And this beast tide isn’t sothing you can contend with! Go back to where you ca from!"
After finishing, he turned to leave.
The others present also looked at Ye Qingchen with mocking gazes.
When they left, the guard finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Ye Qingchen and the others with a troubled expression, "What was that just now... Do you have so conflict with them?"
"Indeed, we have so grievances between us." Ye Qingchen hid nothing.
"No wonder!" The guard patted his chest but then looked worriedly at Ye Qingchen, "These people are from the Xingluo Sect, their strength is formidable, what are you planning to do next..."
He knew all too well the tactics of these Xingluo Sect disciples.
A few days ago, when repelling the beast tide.
The sa powerful beasts that dozens of others couldn’t harm in the slightest fell like weaklings in their hands. Now, with just a casual gesture, they managed to push back Hong Man, who seed quite strong.
If he were Ye Qingchen, he would have quietly left.
"What of the Xingluo Sect disciples?"
Ye Qingchen remained calm.
He knew the guard ant well.
But to him, Xu Kuang’s strength was only slightly above Zhao Tianyu’s, nothing more. Besides, they ca for a mission; how could they simply leave because of a few words?
"Indeed, what of the Xingluo Sect?" Hong Man said with a clang, slamming the Coiling Dragon Staff down, "Do you think we would be afraid of him?"
The guard, seeing this, said no more.
After all.
This was a grudge between both parties and had nothing to do with him.
So, he shook his head and left.
Ye Qingchen and his group’s actions were naturally observed by those Xingluo Sect disciples.
"Heh, it seems these boys are determined to stay!" A short-haired young man with dual blades at his waist sneered. As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Kuang, "Do you want to drive them away?"
"Indeed, judging by their attitude, unless they’re taught a lesson, they won’t leave easily!" Another youth ard with a spear said, "If we don’t teach them a lesson, they won’t know our strength!"
"No wonder they call him the Newcor King, he certainly is arrogant!" Xu Kuang squinted, then suddenly laughed coldly, "Since they don’t want to leave, let’s keep them company!"
"Isn’t he arrogant? Then let’s break his arrogance!"
"Aren’t they unwilling to leave? Then let them witness our Xingluo Sect’s might! Let them crawl away in defeat!"
"Let him realize that as a re Newcor King, he’s nothing before our Xingluo Sect!"
