Lu Liyu’s slap stunned Qiu Guangxuan, shocked Lu Hongyun, infuriated Qiu Jianren, and attracted the attention of nurous martial artists around.
Including Fang Bai, He Wujie, and Zhao Wanqing, all turned their gaze this way.
Lu Hongyun was shocked because she knew how much trouble Lu Liyu’s slap had caused, so she stood in front of Lu Liyu imdiately, protectively shielding Lu Liyu behind her.
Qiu Jianren was enraged because even he had never hit or scolded his youngest son, yet Lu Liyu, an outsider disciple, dared to hit him. How could he tolerate that?
Therefore, Qiu Jianren, after a mont of hesitation, rushed forward in a furious shout, intending to return an even harsher slap to Lu Liyu to vent for his son.
Qiu Jianren only cared about his son, and when it ca to Lu Liyu, he didn’t have the slightest bit of tender feelings.
Luckily, Lu Hongyun reacted quickly and protected Lu Liyu in ti, otherwise, with Lu Liyu’s re Golden Core initial-stage cultivation level, she wouldn’t have been able to withstand Qiu Jianren’s Nascent Soul initial-stage attack.
"Lu Hongyun, step aside!"
Qiu Jianren glanced at his son, seeing that although he was not heavily injured, his mouth was full of blood and he was in complete disarray. He thought to himself that with the face his son has lost in front of thousands of martial artists, if he couldn’t get justice for him today, there’d be no face to et people anymore.
Therefore, even at the risk of falling out with Lu Hongyun today, Qiu Jianren was determined to harshly teach Lu Liyu a lesson.
"Qiu, it was your son who was at fault first for today’s matter. You want to harm my adopted daughter? No way!"
Lu Hongyun naturally couldn’t let Qiu Jianren harm Lu Liyu in the slightest, so she righteously and sternly spoke up.
Qiu Jianren also knew his son was in the wrong, but so what?
In the world of three thousand realms, whoever’s fist is harder has the truth!
"Lu Hongyun, you and I have been friends, seeing it from past friendship, let that adopted daughter of yours co over, I’ll slap her once, and this will be over. Otherwise, don’t bla for being rciless!"
Qiu Jianren said with a chilling face.
After years of knowing him, Lu Hongyun understood how ruthless he could be. If he delivered a slap, it would not be gentle. Even if Lu Liyu didn’t die, she might lose half her life, so she absolutely refused.
At this mont, three other disciples from Zixia Manor stood with Qiu’s father and son, all emanating killing qi, their eyes filled with hostility as they looked at Lu Hongyun and others.
At the sa ti, three female disciples from the Flower Pavilion stood alongside Lu Hongyun and Lu Liyu, their eyes full of indignation and contempt looking at Qiu Guangxuan.
In the eyes of those Flower Pavilion disciples, Qiu Guangxuan was truly despicable, failing to pursue their junior sister, he resorted to cursing, a scum among n.
Qiu Guangxuan’s curses were exceedingly vile, and they heard it all clearly. If it were them, they couldn’t endure it either, and maybe the slap would have been even harsher.
As for Qiu Jianren’s retaliation, that was Elder Lu’s concern. They just needed to stand on the sa front line with Elder Lu.
Even if the sky fell, there were still high-ranking officials and tens of thousands of disciples from the Flower Pavilion to support them, so why be afraid?
The disciples on both sides squared off at a distance of about three zhang, pressure like a mountain, spiritual energy stirring, hinting at an inevitable clash.
Lu Liyu’s eyes reddened, biting her lips hard to hold back tears. She stood by Lu Hongyun, silently summoning her spiritual artifact, ready to fight.
"Mom, I’m sorry! I caused trouble for the sect!"
Lu Liyu knew that the current Flower Pavilion was facing an unprecedented great trouble, and causing further conflict with Zixia Manor due to her personal matter was adding fuel to the fire, so she was incredibly anxious, softly apologizing to Lu Hongyun beside her.
Lu Hongyun turned her head to glance at her, smiling, giving a comforting look, and said, "Silly girl, what are you talking about? Anyway, the sect’s troubles are plenty, a little more doesn’t matter! Alright, brace yourself and fight!"
"Okay."
Lu Liyu nodded firmly, holding her spiritual artifact across her chest, her eyes once filled with guilt and apology now turning sharp.
She glanced in Fang Bai’s direction, secretly hoping that that person could stand up and speak a fair word for her.
But she also knew that was a wishful thought.
Zixia Manor was a major sect with Nascent Soul Realm experts guarding it, renowned far and wide, and that person was rely a Foundation Establishnt perfection expert. How could he dare risk offending Zixia Manor to speak up for her?
Besides, this matter was entirely her own doing and had nothing to do with that person, and he had no reason to speak for her.
"Dad, kill that guy and this woman for ! This pair of adulterous couple must not die a good death!"
After being slapped by Lu Liyu, Qiu Guangxuan was almost driven mad, pointing at the distant Fang Bai and the opposite Lu Liyu, shouting hoarsely.
Qiu Guangxuan knew that if he didn’t avenge this humiliation today, he would not only never raise his head in the sect again but might also develop inner demons, preventing significant achievents in his future cultivation.
His inner demon was born because of Fang Bai and Lu Liyu, and only by killing Fang Bai and Lu Liyu could his heart knot be untied, allowing his future cultivation path to beco smooth.
Qiu Jianren naturally understood this truth as well.
So when his son said this, he intended to do just that.
Seeing Qiu Jianren’s gaze suddenly filled with killing qi turning towards him, Fang Bai felt very helpless, thinking how he hadn’t offended anyone but still beca soone else’s target for killing?
To quote a worldly saying: he was a sitting duck!
The oppressive force swept like a wave, rushing in with endless killing qi.
Qiu Jianren, like a bolt of lightning, charged toward Fang Bai, and before reaching him, a huge True Yuan fist was already launched at Fang Bai.
Nascent Soul Realm experts, killing does not require reasons.
Moreover, Qiu Jianren intended to kill a re Foundation Establishnt perfection expert?
But Qiu Jianren forgot that Fang Bai had co along with He Wujie, and beside He Wujie stood Zhao Wanqing.
Both were Nascent Soul Realm experts and had deep ties with Fang Bai.
One was Fang Bai’s master, and the other was like a ntor’s wife.
With them around, how could they sit by while Fang Bai was bullied?
So when Qiu Jianren launched his attack, He Wujie’s figure flashed, he stood in front of Fang Bai, and with a cold snort, threw a punch to et Qiu Jianren’s attack.
"Boom!"
The two True Yuan fists collided in the air, spiritual energy scattering, creating massive waves.
The observing martial artists retreated, creating a space a hundred zhang in radius for the two to duel, and watched their showdown with great interest.
Zhao Wanqing knew that He Wujie didn’t like others interfering when he was in a duel, so she stood quietly to the side watching, simultaneously beckoning Fang Bai over to stand by her.
On the Zixia Manor side, including Qiu Guangxuan, four Golden Core experts kept a close watch on Fang Bai, but with Zhao Wanqing’s protection, those four wouldn’t dare lay a hand on Fang Bai.
