"Wow, it's Liang Tian. I heard that Liang Tian's cultivation just recently broke through to the late Mahayana stage!"

"Now those senior and junior martial siblings are doomed. Everyone knows that the three Huang brothers are usually so arrogant because they cling to Liang Tian's powerful influence!"

"Now that the Huang brothers are dead, no matter what, Liang Tian has to step in. After all, he's received so many gifts from them over the years!"

"A mid-Transformation stage facing a late Mahayana stage—Bai Xiaofan, even if he grew three heads and six arms, is bound to die!"

The crowd pointed at Bai Xiaofan and Liang Tian in the arena, all discussing fervently. However, although they were pointing and murmuring, not a single person believed in Bai Xiaofan's chances.

After all, the gap in strength between the two is so great that unless one is a fool, they would hardly choose to support Bai Xiaofan.

Seeing the situation, Zhao Wu also retreated slightly.

Having Liang Tian teach Bai Xiaofan a good lesson would be for the best. No matter what background or connections he might have, since he's come to the Refining Sect, he should be made aware of the rules here.

At most, when Bai Xiaofan is in real danger, he could step in to save him!

This way, Bai Xiaofan's life would be spared, and this arrogant and brazen guy would also get a lesson!

"What? Are you afraid the three Huang brothers are lonely and want to go down to accompany them?"

Bai Xiaofan glanced at Liang Tian, a playful smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, not taking the other party seriously at all.

Even though there was a considerable gap in strength between them, it wasn't that easy for the opponent to kill him.

Looking at Zhao Wu before him, Bai Xiaofan snorted with disdain.

Since when could a mere late Mahayana stage cultivator dare to be so arrogant before him?

Hearing Bai Xiaofan's extremely arrogant words and looking at his solitary and proud figure, Xue Yi couldn't help but feel a ripple in her heart.

"That's right, do you want to go down and join the three brothers? I don't mind letting my junior brother send you down!"

Standing beside Bai Xiaofan, Xue Yi looked proudly at Zhao Wu, as if implying that even in her current state, she could take him on!

"Sister, are you crazy? Why are you provoking him like that?"

Bai Xiaofan was speechless, turning his head to whisper to Xue Yi.

"Why fear him? The two of us can take him on together; it's just a small late-stage Mahayana cultivator acting so audaciously!"

Xue Yi spoke nonchalantly, a dagger appearing in her small hand, her beautiful eyes coldly fixed on the opponent.

"Dizzy, we can't beat him!"

Bai Xiaofan almost fainted, thinking this silly girl must be out of her mind?

What he said wasn't meant for Zhao Wu or Liang Tian, but rather for the people hiding in the dark to hear.

When he unleashed his artistic conception of killing and slayed Huang Lao Er, Bai Xiaofan had already sensed someone secretly observing him.

Though he didn't know who this person was, the fact that he couldn't pinpoint their location meant they were definitely a powerhouse above the True Immortal stage.

According to what Xue Yi had told him earlier, within the Refining Sect, there wouldn't be more than three people at such a level of cultivation.

Since the opponent chose to observe from the shadows rather than coming out to deal with him directly, it indicated that they might not be hostile.

Especially seeing Liang Tian appear and interrupt his actions, Bai Xiaofan became even more convinced of his thoughts, which is why he decisively killed Huang Lao Da in front of Liang Tian!

It was all to test this hidden person's attitude.

Judging by the current situation, the person likely is not hostile, but it's unclear why they are interested in him—could it be just because of his artistic conception of killing?

Although mastering the artistic conception of killing is challenging, in this celestial realm, to say that no one has succeeded seems unbelievable to Bai Xiaofan.

However, Xue Yi's words would definitely provoke Zhao Wu to attack. With his current cultivation, while he does not fear the opponent, handling it would be somewhat troublesome.

In this unknown territory, Bai Xiaofan didn't want to expose too many secrets; otherwise, in real danger, he might find himself with too few cards to play!

"Arrogant, since that's the case, then you both can die together!"

Seeing that Bai Xiaofan and Xue Yi completely disregarded him, Zhao Wu felt his pride was bruised, and he immediately gave a loud shout. With his hands behind his back, he charged towards Bai Xiaofan and Xue Yi.

"Assist from the side!"

Seeing Zhao Wu coming at them, Bai Xiaofan didn't dare to hold back. If he wanted to establish himself here, no one would be more intimidating than Zhao Wu, a late Mahayana stage expert!

Without delay, he instructed Xue Yi, and with one step, Bai Xiaofan had already moved several meters away.

With this step, the crowd was horrified to find that Bai Xiaofan's cultivation skyrocketed in an instant, soaring from mid-Transformation to the peak of Transformation stage.

One step!

Two minor stages!

This is what the hell?

Xue Yi frowned slightly, not expecting Bai Xiaofan to have this move; she hadn't seen it during the clash between the blood-colored figure and Bai Xiaofan.

Could it be that this guy had spells she didn't know about?

Observing Bai Xiaofan at this moment, three elders within the Refining Sect's inner circle were also momentarily stunned.

One elder in black clothing, looking at the elder in gray seated in the center, asked in a low voice, "Senior brother, what do you think of this move?"

"It's just a technique to temporarily boost cultivation, nothing remarkable!"

Before the gray-robed elder could speak, another elder clad entirely in white spoke first.

"No, this isn't merely a simple cultivation enhancement technique. As far as I know, all methods to boost cultivation involve a process of casting the spell and consolidating the power; Bai Xiaofan stepped out just once, instantly elevating his cultivation by two levels. This cannot be underestimated!"

The gray-robed elder gently stroked his beard, his eyes shining brightly as if he could see Bai Xiaofan across a distance.

"Senior brother, although this youngster shows exceptional promise, isn't your decision somewhat too risky?"

The white-robed elder didn't contradict the gray-robed elder, because among the three of them, the gray-robed elder's words were of utmost authority, and it had been this way for hundreds of years!

"Junior brothers, our Refining Sect doesn't have much time left. The longevity of the three of us is all less than a hundred years, and there isn't a single young disciple in our sect who can stand alone. The Purple Cloud Pavilion hasn't given up its intentions to destroy us. It won't be long before they come to challenge us, and by then, we'll have no way to counteract!"

"Moreover, several days ago, when I was using the Nine Palace technique to divine the heavenly secrets, this youth suddenly appeared in our Refining Sect. This can't be dismissed as just a coincidence. For the future of our Refining Sect, I believe it's worth the risk!"

The gray-robed elder shook his head, staring gravely at the others, his voice lowering to its deepest tone.
