The sky was clear, and the white clouds were high and distant.
Piaomiao Peak, the summit.
On a massive marble plaza, in the center of the area, there was a grand martial arts arena, a hundred feet long and wide, exuding a magnificent aura.
At this mont, in front of the martial arts arena, Palace Master of Piaoling Palace, Chu Yueyan, Ling Bo, and a group of Piaoling Palace elders were present.
Qin Yang, Zhao Tai, as well as Ding Hualing from the Thousand Talisman Sect, the two elders, one fat and one thin, were naturally present as well.
On the plaza, the Piaoling Palace disciples who were originally in cultivation also gathered upon seeing the scene.
"That is the Young Sect Leader of the Thousand Talisman Sect."
"And that is the newly risen Lord Qin Yang."
"Are they going to have a duel on the martial arts arena?"
"..."
Piaoling Palace was mostly composed of female disciples, and now the sounds of birds chirping and swallows twittering could be heard.
"The environnt here is indeed very spacious."
Ding Hualing smiled, then looked at Qin Yang, and then at Elder Fu Kun, the thin elder.
"Elder Fu Kun, show your Talisman Dao and give Friend Qin Yang a taste of your Array Dao skills. Rember to leave him so ti to set up an array, and just stop at the right mont."
Ding Hualing's mouth showed a gentle smile, advising Elder Fu Kun in front of everyone from Piaoling Palace.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yang's expression remained unchanged.
Beside him, Zhao Tai's face, however, looked a bit uneasy.
Although Ding Hualing spoke with a smile and gentle words, the condescension in his words was quite piercing.
"Yes, Young Sect Leader."
Upon hearing this, the thin elder Fu Kun nodded, a cold glint flashing in his eyes as he glanced at Qin Yang.
Swish!
In the next mont, the figure of the thin elder Fu Kun flickered, standing on one side of the vast martial arts arena.
However, after waiting for a while, Qin Yang still stood with his hands behind his back below the stage, not even glancing at the arena.
"Friend Qin, if you're afraid, just say so, and I won't make things difficult for you."
Elder Fu Kun sneered.
This little town's lord is just a little town's lord, afraid before the battle even starts, too cowardly to step onto the stage—what a joke.
However, Qin Yang acted as if he hadn't heard, turning his gaze to Ding Hualing.
"What, Friend Qin, won't you dare to step onto the stage?"
Ding Hualing asked with a bright smile, glancing at Fairy Yanyan and then at Qin Yang.
Qin Yang shook his head, chuckling softly.
"Hehe, Young Sect Leader Ding, you want to see my skills, yet you send a subordinate to the stage. I wonder if this subordinate's strength greatly surpasses yours. If that's the case, I don't mind engaging."
Qin Yang said with a smile.
"Oh?"
A gleam flashed in Ding Hualing's eyes.
"Friend Qin, what do you an? Do you want to challenge directly?"
Ding Hualing slightly raised his brows.
"Hehe, Young Sect Leader Ding, if you're too afraid, just say the word. I won't make things difficult for you and will just deal with your subordinate."
Qin Yang said with a gentle smile, looking at Ding Hualing.
Hearing this, the expressions of everyone present slightly shifted.
Listening to Qin Yang's words, a hint of excitent flashed across Zhao Tai's old face. Indeed, it matched the deanor of the Lord, striking back fiercely.
Not only did he return Fu Kun's words to Ding Hualing, but he also put Ding Hualing in an awkward position. After all, how could a re subordinate expect to face the Lord? Zhao Tai thought secretly.
"Subordinate?!"
On the martial arts arena, upon hearing this title, Elder Fu Kun's lean face beca extrely gloomy.
As a figure of the Elder Level in the Thousand Talisman Sect, though following the Young Sect Leader, the Young Sect Leader also treated him with respect—no one had ever dared to call him a "subordinate."
Moreover, the implication from this small lord was quite apparent: that he was not qualified to face him.
"Haha, Friend Qin, how interesting you are."
Ding Hualing said, laughing as he stared at Qin Yang.
In fact, he had considered personally teaching this youngster a lesson earlier.
However, given his status and reputation in the Great Xia Dynasty, directly confronting this young man seed to overestimate him, so he had Elder Fu Kun go first.
"Humph, utterly ignorant of life and death. My Young Sect Leader is a prodigy, his Talisman Dao skills surpassing mine by many folds, and you dare challenge him directly."
Elder Fu Kun's face was gloomy, his old eyes filled with a fierce look as he glared at Qin Yang, sneering.
Ding Hualing smiled, lifting his slender hand to stop Elder Fu Kun's words.
"Elder Fu Kun, no need to say more, step down. Since Friend Qin wishes to spar with , I might as well gauge Friend Qin's skills myself."
Ding Hualing said.
"Yes, Young Sect Leader."
Upon hearing this, Elder Fu Kun glared coldly at Qin Yang, nodding slightly.
Just getting up, and now coming down because of the young man's arrogant words that he was not qualified to compete—an imnse insult for an Elder Level figure of the Thousand Talisman Sect.
Yet, he couldn't act out in front of so many people.
"Ignorant young whelp, the Young Sect Leader's strength far exceeds mine." Elder Fu Kun sneered in his heart, glaring at Qin Yang.
"Friend Qin, please."
Ding Hualing looked at Qin Yang, his face still adorned with a smile as gentle as a spring breeze, though deeply hidden beneath was an unmistakable hint of mockery.
"Let's both go."
Qin Yang replied with a soft smile.
Swish! Swish!
In the next mont, two figures flashed and stood on the spacious martial arts arena.
"It's about to start, but who will co out on top between these two?"
Watching the two young figures on the martial arts arena, Chu Yueyan's eyes glowed.
"Ding Hualing was already renowned as a Talisman Dao genius at the start of his cultivation, his fa shaking the Royal Capital, whereas Lord Qin Yang has only recently risen. I'm afraid..."
Vice Palace Master Ling Bo shook his head slightly, sighing softly.
"The Lord will surely win."
Zhao Tai's eyes shone with brilliance, as he had seen the Lord's arrays before.
Fairy Yanyan's eyes, as clear as water, scanned the two figures on the martial arts arena, her gaze then settling on that white-clad figure.
"Friend Qin, please set up an array."
Facing the white-clad figure, Ding Hualing maintained that gentle, courteous deanor, speaking with a smile as comforting as a spring breeze.
"No need."
Qin Yang replied with a soft smile, shaking his head.
"No need?"
Hearing this, Ding Hualing's eyebrows slightly twitched.
Not only Ding Hualing, but the expressions of everyone from Piaoling Palace below the stage slightly changed, with a hint of doubt in their eyes.
Generally, arrays require ti to set up, yet Lord Qin Yang claid "no need."
"Could it be that Friend Qin doesn't require ti to set up an array?"
Even Ding Hualing's eyes had a trace of doubt.
"Forget about setting up an array."
Qin Yang replied with a soft smile, his eyes suddenly flashing with a sharp gleam. His next words filled everyone's faces with a look of shock.
"Hehe, fortunately, I'm also sowhat skilled in Talisman Dao. You and I, let's pit our Talisman Dao against each other!"
