"Fuck, who the hell do you think you are, to lecture me?" The youth, upon seeing Wang Xiaoqiang speak up, pointed directly at Wang Xiaoqiang's nose and cursed.

Wang Xiaoqiang faintly discerned that these two youths had come targeting him specifically.

Wang Xiaoqiang had been quite polite in speaking, being in someone else's territory and not having caught them red-handed in anything serious, sometimes needed to make allowances. But now, being polite to someone had resulted in them taking advantage of him.

Wang Xiaoqiang swung his hand towards the youth who had cursed him and delivered a slap.

The Aura of Geng Metal exploded.

Smack!

A crisp slapping sound rang out.

The youth was sent flying backward, blood spurting from his mouth. Eventually, his body traced a graceful parabola through the air and landed heavily on the ground.

The other youth was surprisingly calm, didn't attack Wang Xiaoqiang, but only pointed at him and said, "Good lad, daring to strike someone at the Penglai Immortal Sect, you've really got guts. Just you wait, you'll get what's coming to you..."

After intimidating Wang Xiaoqiang with these words, the youth didn't help the injured one but started calling for backup with a Communication Talisman.

Lin Xianshu and Ye Xiaoman saw this scene and their expressions changed, as they could also see that the two youths seemed to have carefully planned this, deliberately causing trouble for Wang Xiaoqiang.

Otherwise, with the injured youth's cultivation base, he wouldn't have collapsed under Wang Xiaoqiang's slap, right?!

He clearly let Wang Xiaoqiang slap him on purpose. He didn't put up any defense at all.

Wang Xiaoqiang had seen through this, but he had still struck the youth, knowing now he was capable of Divinity Transformation, equivalent to the Penglai Immortal, the Sect Leader of Penglai Immortal Sect.

Not to mention the Penglai Immortal Sect, even throughout the entire Cultivation Realm, his cultivation base was noteworthy. How could he tolerate some lowly fellow cursing him to his face?

"Fine, I'll just wait here, and see what you can do to me," Wang Xiaoqiang said, revealing an easy, cold smile, then nonchalantly took a seat at the table.

Seeing this, Lin Xianshu and Ye Xiaoman couldn't help but show concern, worrying for Wang Xiaoqiang, as after all, it was on others' territory, and it was Wang Xiaoqiang who had made the first move, under these circumstances, they wondered what kind of punishment he might receive.

Soon.

A middle-aged man appeared by the pavilion, accompanied by a youth.

The middle-aged man and the youth were none other than Jiangg Tianfeng and Yun Xiu.

This conflict was in fact orchestrated by Jiangg Tianpeng, aimed at testing Wang Xiaoqiang's true strength to ensure that Yun Xiu wouldn't fail to kill Wang Xiaoqiang on the fighting stage and end up harmed instead.

"Master, you've finally arrived," the youth said to Jiangg Tianpeng, "Look at this, this Taiyi Sect brat actually severely injured my brother Yun Youu."

Jiangg Tianpeng walked over to where Yun Youu lay feigning death and crouched down to inspect him. Then he suddenly stood up and walked over to Wang Xiaoqiang and asked, "Are you a disciple of the Taiyi Sect?"

Wang Xiaoqiang responded coldly, "Correct."

"What's your name?" Jiangg Tianpeng asked, pretending to be ignorant.

"Wang Xiaoqiang."

"Wang Xiaoqiang?" Jiangg Tianpeng tried to look unfamiliar with the name, "Why did you injure my sect's disciple?"

"You should ask him that..." Wang Xiaoqiang replied, not even trying to be courteous.

Jiangg Tianpeng turned to question the disciple, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Feigning a wronged expression, the disciple said, "Master, we are truly wronged. Just now, after practicing with my brother Yun Youu, we thought to come out for a rest. We just happened to walk into this pavilion and saw that there was an empty seat. So we sat down, but then these two ladies started yelling at us, accusing us of stealing their seat..."

Before the disciple could finish, Ye Xiaoman frowned and interjected, "Hey, now you're playing the victim! Why don't you mention how boorish and disrespectful you were? Hmph, to think, the reputable Penglai Immortal Sect would have disciples who behave like hooligans..."

"How dare you," Jiangg Tianpeng cut off Ye Xiaoman with a wave of his sleeve, "Insulting the Penglai Immortal Sect's name here, would you believe me if I said I'll cut out your tongue?"

Ye Xiaoman knew the man in front of her was Jiangg Tianpeng, the Vice Sect Leader of the Penglai Immortal Sect, with a Nascent Soul Mid Stage cultivation. His sudden outburst was like a thunderclap, scaring her quite a bit, prompting her to shrink her neck. But she didn't stop talking, "Hmph, if only we were allowed to carry cell phones, I would have recorded their words to report to the Penglai Immortal..."

Jiangg Tianpeng turned, staring at Ye Xiaoman with a cold smile but said nothing more, instead shifting his gaze back to Wang Xiaoqiang, "Young man, you've injured my disciple, and we can't just let this go. I don't ask for much—you hit him once, and now I shall allow him to strike back once."

Wang Xiaoqiang took a stance of someone who was fearless, "Come on then, if you dare."

"Good, Yun Xiu, avenged Yun Youu, teach this lad a lesson," Jiangg Tianpeng muttered commandingly.

"Yes, Master," Yun Xiu replied, a glint of murderous intent in his eyes as he glared at Wang Xiaoqiang, almost as if he were looking at a dead man.

Yun Xiu's cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul with the help of six Hidden Dragon Pills provided by Jiangg Tianpeng.

Just as Yun Xiu was about to make his move on Wang Xiaoqiang, unexpectedly, Lin Xianshu darted forward, blocking in front of Wang Xiaoqiang, "This matter started because of us and has nothing to do with Wang Xiaoqiang. If you want a fight, then challenge us."

This took everyone by surprise.

No one expected Lin Xianshu, who had caught the eye of all male disciples of the Penglai Immortal Sect upon arrival, to be so valiantly protective!

"This matter has nothing to do with you, please step aside!" Yun Xiu seemed more determined and, surprisingly, remained unaffected by Lin Xianshu's beauty, as he shouted at her lovely face.

Her beautiful face turned cold, and with her right hand, she summoned an ink-green Immortal Sword that hovered in front of her, exuding a murderous aura.

"To lay hands on Wang Xiaoqiang, you'll have to get past me!" Lin Xianshu's face amidst the sword light was chillingly cold.

This development posed some difficulty for Yun Xiu and Jiangg Tianpeng, as their purpose in coming here was to test Wang Xiaoqiang's true strength, intending to kill him on the arena stage. They didn't expect this female disciple from Mount Hua Sword Sect to stubbornly interfere, which was quite a headache.

Yun Xiu glanced at Jiangg Tianpeng, who signaled with his eyes that it was time to make a move.

With a cold snort, Yun Xiu's figure suddenly vanished from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already behind Wang Xiaoqiang, holding a gleaming flute in his hand. Without a moment's hesitation, as soon as he manifested, he placed the flute to his lips, aiming it at Wang Xiaoqiang.

He blew.

Whoosh!

A silver light, fine as a needle, shot towards the back of Wang Xiaoqiang's head.

Wang Xiaoqiang sensed it coming, and a Five Elements Spirit Spring shielded the back of his head, flashing a five-colored light that turned white.

The next moment...

The silver light struck the Five Elements Spirit Spring.

Bang!.

As they struck each other, a sonorous clang echoed, and the silver light was deflected.

Ah?

Yun Xiu was taken aback, not expecting his stealth attack to be foiled without Wang Xiaoqiang even making a move.

"To launch a sneak attack is truly despicable!" Lin Xianshu saw the underhand attack, and her heart burst with rage. Wielding her Immortal Sword, she slashed towards Yun Xiu.

Her cultivation was in the Late Golden Core Stage, and although she knew she was no match for Yun Xiu at the Nascent Soul Initial Stage, she still took a stance as if ready to fight to the death. It wasn't so much that she cared deeply about Wang Xiaoqiang; she just couldn't stand such despicable tactics.

The sword she wielded was the "Ink Snow" Divine Sword, with immense power. She struck with her sword, and the Sword Qi crisscrossed the air.

Although Yun Xiu possessed higher cultivation than her, he didn't dare to confront it head-on and flashed away, his figure vanishing into thin air once more. The Ink Snow Sword cut through empty air, and Lin Xianshu swept her Divine Sense around, failing to detect any trace of him. She tried again, still without finding any trace of him.

This mysterious movement technique of his, able to evade even Divine Sense, surely wasn't a low-level maneuver.

However, his movement technique could fool Divine Sense, but it couldn't escape the perception of the Five Elements Spirit Spring.

The Five Elements Spirit Springs within Wang Xiaoqiang's body vibrated in unison, sending a strong sense of hostility toward an ancient tree nearby.

Guided by the response from the Spirit Springs, Wang Xiaoqiang pinpointed Yun Xiu's hidden position, and with furrowed brows, he absorbed three hundred Spirit Springs into his body and swiftly turned around. He aimed a hand at the ancient tree and slashed with a Spiritual Energy Sword.

Whoosh!

Bang!

The Spiritual Energy Sword cleaved into the ancient tree, and a shocking trail of red blood seeped from the bark.

As soon as the Spiritual Energy Sword was released, Wang Xiaoqiang immediately expelled the same three hundred Spirit Springs from his body once again.

Jiangg Tianpeng and another disciple focused on the blood stain on the ancient tree, their eyes hardening.

Ye Xiaoman and Lin Xianshu also fixed their beautiful eyes intently on the bloody mark on the tree.

The next moment...

A figure appeared, it was Yun Xiu, who had just disappeared out of thin air. He clutched his abdomen, a cut oozing blood on his belly.

He had just used his signature Ultimate Technique – Divine Escape Technique – to conceal himself inside the ancient tree and had been biding his time to attack Wang Xiaoqiang. However, he didn't expect Wang Xiaoqiang to be able to locate him, and without any warning, he inflicted an injury upon him, catching him completely off guard.

"Good lad, to injure my disciple!" Seeing that even Yun Xiu's Divine Escape Technique couldn't fool Wang Xiaoqiang's perception, Guo Tianpeng was shocked to the core. However, he refused to show any weakness, and although killing Wang Xiaoqiang here would result in due punishment, he could no longer care about that. Immediately, he was about to make his move at Wang Xiaoqiang when a voice shouted, "Stop!"

Jiangg Tianpeng hesitated, turning to look, only to see the Penglai Immortal Sect Leader himself, accompanied by his prime disciple, Mu Changfeng, appearing not far away.

"Tianpeng, what are you doing?" The Penglai Immortal stared at Jiangg Tianpeng, questioning as he approached.

Faced with the sudden appearance of the Penglai Immortal, Jiangg Tianpeng felt a pang of guilt, but kept a show of innocence on his face, "Ancestor Master, this, this lad from Taiyi Sect is too arrogant. He has injured two of my disciples..."

The Penglai Immortal was well aware of Wang Xiaoqiang's prominence in the Taiyi Sect, and he was also familiar with the incident where Wang Xiaoqiang had slain three from the Crown Prince Faction. So, witnessing the scene before him was not surprising, as he knew that Jiangg Yulong was Jiangg Tianpeng's nephew.

As the Penglai Immortal came closer, he looked Wang Xiaoqiang up and down. Seeing that Wang Xiaoqiang was only at the Mid Golden Core Stage, he was amazed. After scanning the cultivation levels of all those present, a cold smile appeared on his face. "Tianpeng, you must be joking. Wang Xiaoqiang's cultivation is the lowest among all those present. How could he possibly have injured your two advanced disciples?" (To be continued.
