Inside the Archive Pavilion next to the Guest Reception Hall.

After Sun Buping and the others left, they gathered here. A surge of soul force emanated from Sun Buping, enveloping the entire Archive Pavilion.

"Eighth Uncle, that Jiang Chen insists on sparring with us so aggressively, could he have discovered something?" Chen Fei whispered.

Sun Buping shook his head: "Impossible! If they had discovered something, they wouldn't be so aggressive. Instead, they would leave in compliance with our words, leaving Saint Realm experts to watch us while the Venerable Realm youths retreat, then call for reinforcements from the Flame Dragon Martial Arts World to destroy us!"

"That's reasonable, but... why do they insist on staying to spar? Even ignoring your mortal threat, Uncle?" Chu Ming frowned slightly as he spoke.

"Those youths among them are all exceptionally talented, and that Jiang Chen is probably their leader. Think about it, a genius commanding five Saint Realm experts is surely an arrogant person."

Sun Buping smiled faintly: "And according to Xiao Zhan, this Jiang Chen has close ties with the Flame Dragon Group. Their visit is more likely to probe the true strength of our Yunpiao Sect, and the sparring is probably Jiang Chen's spontaneous decision, wanting to see the strength of the disciples from our ancient sect. He wants to demonstrate his talent by stepping on our sect's disciples!"

"As for the threat of life and death!" Sun Buping sneered: "An arrogant person capable of leading five Saint Realm experts wouldn't care about that! He certainly thinks we don't dare to kill them!"

Pausing for a moment, Sun Buping said mockingly: "Currently, we indeed can't kill them. Have you noticed, that foreign old man sits next to the foreign youth, and during your clash of auras, he was the only one to guard the foreign youth."

"And among the three Unification Realm mid-stage experts, the one with an aura of authority protects another seated youth during the aura clash, while the remaining three protect Jiang Chen and the three behind him. What does this indicate?"

"This indicates that the three who are seated belong to three factions and are important figures within those factions. If we killed any one of them, there would be Unification Realm experts who would retaliate."

"And given Jiang Chen's arrogant nature, we also can't kill the three behind him. If we did, Jiang Chen probably wouldn't let it go easily. Once Unification Realm experts descend into chaos, our arrangements will surely be discovered. Therefore, in this sparring, we mustn't kill anyone!"

After hearing Sun Buping's analysis, everyone nodded in agreement.

"Liangcheng, arrange for the two strongest early-stage Venerable Realm outer elders and the two strongest mid-stage Venerable Realm to join you in battling them!" Sun Buping instructed softly.

Everyone was taken aback, and Chen Fei exclaimed in surprise, "Eighth Uncle, this..."

"Since we've already exposed our strength, let's fully reveal our power, making the Flame Dragon Group wary of attacking us!"

Sun Buping interrupted Chen Fei: "Let Liangcheng act, firstly because he's the strongest mid-stage Venerable Realm martial artist within the sect, and secondly to show Jiang Chen some respect. Arrogant people like to be respected, so we show him this respect. This way, even if they lose, they won't lash out in humiliation."

"Uncle Master, brilliant!"

"Eighth Uncle, worthy of being the wise elder once appointed by the ancestor!"

"Impressive! Our ancestor's remarkable insight into their intentions is astounding!"

A cascade of praises erupted within the Archive Pavilion.

"Alright! Liangcheng, hurry and arrange things, quickly send these people away. Lest long nights bring unexpected changes, Fifth Brother's case is at a critical stage; nothing can go wrong now. Once Fifth Brother captures Ming Que, we need not be so guarded against the Flame Dragon Group anymore!" Sun Buping said with a beaming smile.

"Understood!" Wu Liangcheng replied, turning and exiting the Archive Pavilion, with everyone else following suit.

...

Yunpiao Sect's Martial Arts Arena.

The entire arena was square, each side measuring a hundred meters.

Jiang Chen and his group stood on the northern side of the arena, with Wu Liangcheng and others. Behind Wu Liangcheng were four men, while the Yunpiao Sect disciples stood in the west under the leadership of several elders. The south faced the mountain gate, and the east was a sheer cliff.

Jiang Chen glanced at the Yunpiao Sect disciples gathered in the west, then at the four men behind Wu Liangcheng, measuring in his heart that these were likely all the people from Yunpiao Sect, along with themselves...

"Head of the Jiang Family, for the five rounds of the contest, how about we take turns sending our people to fight first?" Wu Liangcheng turned to Jiang Chen and said softly.

Jiang Chen gave Wu Liangcheng a glance, nodding lightly, and said casually, "Alright, since we came to challenge, we'll send our people first!"

"Alright!" Wu Liangcheng nodded gently.

"Leng Ming, you go first!" Jiang Chen turned to Leng Ming.

Leng Ming shrugged nonchalantly and stepped into the center of the square, with an evil smile: "Sect Master Wu, send someone to their death!"

"So arrogant!"

"Indeed! Too arrogant!"

"Hmph! Such a small external martial artist dares to be presumptuous in our Yunpiao Sect. Let's see if he's still so brazen after his defeat!"

"Exactly, so ignorant of heaven and earth, daring to challenge our Yunpiao Sect, I'd love to go up and teach them a lesson!"

Yunpiao Sect disciples sneered and mocked disdainfully.

Wu Liangcheng smiled faintly and gave a signal to a middle-aged man behind him. The middle-aged man stepped forward, stopping ten meters opposite Leng Ming.

"Yunpiao Sect, outer elder, Fan Sijian!" The middle-aged man introduced himself expressionlessly.

"Annoying Villain? Annoying and villainous, how annoying and villainous are you?" Leng Ming taunted full of scorn.

Fan Sijian's brow furrowed slightly, with anger showing on his face.

"A guy as annoying and villainous as you doesn't deserve to know my name. Come on, prepare to die!" Leng Ming spoke arrogantly again.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Powerful aura emerged, with hints of purple light glowing faintly from Leng Ming.

"Bastard! So arrogant!"

"Elder Fan, kill him!"

"Elder Fan, go for it, kill that bastard!"

"Show the might of our Yunpiao Sect, Elder Fan, crush him!"

The Yunpiao Sect disciples shouted angrily.

Buzz!

An imposing aura emanated, as Fan Sijian glared coldly at Leng Ming, speaking icily: "The Sect Master doesn't allow us to kill you, but he didn't say we can't disable you. Kid, go obediently to lay on the sickbed!"

Shua!

As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Sijian's figure flashed and charged at Leng Ming.

Swoosh!

Leng Ming dodged the attack, leaping into the air.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Fan Sijian shouted and also leaped into the air, closely pursuing Leng Ming, with his aura gradually increasing, becoming more and more intense.
