Inside the Guest Reception Hall.
Wu Liangcheng looked at Jiang Chen with an unpleasant expression and said in a deep voice, "Since he made a mistake, he should bear the consequences. Now that I have executed him, Head of the Jiang Family, please leave!"
The few distinguished elders exchanged a glance and collectively looked at Jiang Chen. Considering that the person who offended them had been killed and the Sect Protection Array was not being held accountable, they indeed had no reason to stay!
"Sect Master Wu, no need to be in such a hurry to see us off, is there? I've heard that the Yunpiao Sect is an ancient sect, and I would like to spar with Yunpiao Sect. I wonder if Sect Master Wu could fulfill this wish of mine?" Jiang Chen lightly laughed and spoke.
"No, you can't!"
A voice shouted as Chu Ming entered the Guest Reception Hall, clasping his fists toward Wu Liangcheng, and then turned with a gloomy look at Jiang Chen:
"Head of the Jiang Family, I am Chu Ming, Second Elder of the sect. You have destroyed our Sect Protection Array. The Sect Master has already personally executed the disciple offending you, yet you remain here. Isn't this somewhat excessive?"
"Second Elder, why are you so eager to drive us away?" Jiang Chen looked at Chu Ming with deep meaning.
Chu Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, saying in a deep voice, "Head of the Jiang Family, do you think we are in the mood to host you now?"
"Oh? Mood?" Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow, "With five Saint Realm seniors here, you say you aren't in the mood to host us? Are you looking down on these Saint Realm seniors?"
Buzzing!
As soon as Jiang Chen's words fell, the five distinguished elders released a powerful aura, directly pressing down on Chu Ming.
Chu Ming's face turned slightly pale. He looked warily at Zhou Wanchen, Emperor Emeritus, and Yue Tianzheng, furrowing his brows tightly.
"Head of the Jiang Family, do you think Yunpiao Sect is easy to bully?" Wu Liangcheng suddenly shouted.
Swish! Swish!
Buzzing!
Two elderly figures appeared in the Guest Reception Hall, exuding powerful auras that blocked the aura of the five distinguished elders. Meanwhile, Great Elder Chen Fei also released his aura, standing in front of Chu Ming.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Several waves of aura clashed, causing explosions in the air as a strong force spread in all directions.
Swish!
Buzz!
Just as the clash of the nine auras was about to destroy the Guest Reception Hall, a thin elderly figure with white hair and beard appeared in front of Chu Ming, exuding an unmatched aura that enveloped the entire interior of the hall.
Boom!
A huge explosion sounded, and the five distinguished elders staggered, looking in surprise at the elderly figure who had appeared.
"Eighth Martial Uncle!"
"Greetings, Eighth Martial Uncle!"
"Salutations to Ancestral Martial Uncle!"
"We pay respects to Martial Ancestor!"
The Great Elder and others retracted their auras and bowed, while Wu Zhan directly knelt, performing a grand kowtow.
The elderly figure, having dispersed the aura of the five distinguished elders, also withdrew his aura, glanced at the five, and turned to look at Jiang Chen. "This young friend, I am Sun Buping. Don't you think you are going too far?"
"Elder Sun, I do not think I am being excessive at all!"
Jiang Chen looked solemnly at Sun Buping, sensing a mortal threat from him. "Martial Artists are born to battle. Now that we've finally encountered an ancient sect from before the Era of Martial Decline, how could we leave without a spar?"
Wu Liangcheng and the others' faces changed, looking at Jiang Chen with a sullen expression.
Jiang Chen's reasoning had no flaws. Encountering an ancient sect, any force within the Martial Dao World would want to spar and see the strength of the disciples from an ancient sect. But because his reasoning had no flaws, no one could forcibly drive Jiang Chen and his group away, or it would seem too abrupt. Therefore, everyone's hearts were on edge!
Sun Buping's eyelids twitched. He looked deeply at Jiang Chen, his face calm but his words filled with killing intent: "Very well! Then let's spar with each of you, but in a martial spar, life or death is no matter. You all must think it over!"
Wu Liangcheng and others' eyes lit up, secretly praising Sun Buping's cleverness. Yet, in an instant, their expressions darkened once again.
"Thank you, Elder Sun!" Jiang Chen smiled slightly, "The condition of life and death being unaccounted for is best; it prevents us from holding back during the fight!"
Sun Buping was momentarily surprised, scanning Yan Hu and others, discovering they showed no objection. He paused to frown slightly—were these people truly willing to die because of Jiang Chen's proposed spar?
After quickly pondering, Sun Buping nodded, "Alright, since you all have such an interest, we at Yunpiao Sect won't refuse. After all, we are all people of the Martial Dao. Since the Head of the Jiang Family proposes, let the Head of the Jiang Family decide how you wish to spar."
"Very simple. We have brought two Early Stage Venerable Realm, three Mid Stage Venerable Realm, one Late Stage Venerable Realm, and five Saint Realm Experts. Excluding the Saint Realm and Late Stage Venerable Realms, please have your sect select five individuals of the same realm to spar with our other members. What do you think?" Jiang Chen laughed lightly as he spoke.
"Fine!" Sun Buping agreed without hesitation.
Chu Ming stared directly at Jiang Chen's eyes, trying to see if he could find anything, but found nothing.
Jiang Chen's expression remained calm, showing no change at all!
"Liangcheng, make the arrangements." Sun Buping turned to Wu Liangcheng.
"Yes!"
Wu Liangcheng nodded heavily, glanced at Jiang Chen and his group, then turned and walked toward the entrance of the Guest Reception Hall. The Great Elder and others followed him out, leaving Jiang Chen and his group in the main hall.
"Jiang..." Seeing Sun Buping and others leave, Leng Ming couldn't help but start speaking.
Phew!
Jiang Chen abruptly raised his hand to stop Leng Ming, gently shook his head, and quietly released his Soul Force.
Leng Ming immediately closed his mouth.
After a while, Jiang Chen softly said, "Esteemed seniors, I wish to discuss our order of attack later. Could you please seal this place so our tactics aren't overheard?"
The Emperor Emeritus and others paused, then unleashed their auras.
Bang! Bang!
The sound of two explosions, and two auras were dispersed by their force.
The few elders' expressions changed slightly, their hands moving thoughtfully, manipulating the surrounding Heaven and Earth Vital Energy to seal the entire Guest Reception Hall.
"Young Mr. Jiang, using this method, can you discover if there's an issue with Yunpiao Sect?" Emperor Emeritus asked in confusion once the sealing was complete.
Jiang Chen gently shook his head, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes, "Sparring alone cannot reveal if there's a problem with Yunpiao Sect, but... I've already discovered an issue, at least one that makes me decide to destroy Yunpiao Sect!"
Everyone's expressions changed slightly, seriously looking at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen spoke in a low voice, "Listen to me, when the fighting starts later..."
