Translator: 549690339

Elder Gongsun was utterly astounded.

What in the world, even if he wasn’t particularly close with these two prodigies on normal days, he was still an Elder of the Devil Cloud Cave, wasn’t he? How come today these two were continuously disagreeing with him?

It was a nailed-on fact that Li Xiaobai was an enemy of the Devil Cloud Cave. Why then were they protecting him?

“Yang Chen, Ling Feng, Li Xiaobai is the enemy of our Devil Cloud Cave. It was because of him that Wu De suffered a great fall in his cultivation level. Not only did you not seek revenge for your fellow disciple, but you also hurt your own sect members and now you’re even protecting Li Xiaobai. What exactly are your intentions!”

Having spoken, Elder Gongsun’s expression also darkened.

The cold light in his eyes was fully revealed as he fixed a deathly stare on the two disciples, Yang Chen and Ling Feng.

However, what the two of them said next made his hair stand on end.

“Elder Gongsun, as an Elder of the Devil Cloud Cave, you’ve always considered personal grudging grievances. Compared to your petty vendettas, it’s far more important for our sect to befriend a genius. Li Xiaobai is merely your enemy, not that of the Devil Cloud Cave!”

“In serving the sect, we must prioritize the interests of the sect. Your actions have put the sect on the back burner, which is utterly unworthy of a Sect Elder. If Elder Gongsun also behaves like Wu De, we brothers will have to painfully cleanse the sect on behalf of it!”

Yang Chen’s face also turned grim as he icily said.

Standing by, Ling Feng tilted his head to look at Elder Gongsun, who was displaying a face full of shock, and said indifferently, “Elder Gongsun, do you wish to die?”

In an instant, the hall was permeated with a chilling atmosphere, and everyone went as silent as a Frost Cicada.

With the two City Lords gone, the highest remaining was at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivation level, similar to Yang Chen and Ling Feng. However, the aura exuded by these two geniuses made their skin crawl.

They harbored no doubt that if they confronted these two face to face, they would die miserably.

Let alone them, even Elder Gongsun felt his scalp tingle and his heart churned tumultuously, for he was a grandmaster at the complete Transcendance Tribulation Stage and considered a veteran powerhouse among his peers.

But at this moment, facing Yang Chen and Ling Feng, he felt as if he were being targeted by two ferocious Demonic Beasts, with the scent of death lingering around his heart and refusing to dissipate.

“You… you…”

Elder Gongsun was so shocked he couldn’t speak. He was astonished to discover that he could no longer see through these two younger disciples. As a grandmaster of the complete Transcendance Tribulation Stage, he felt a threat of death emanating from these two prodigious disciples.

What kind of cultivation level was this?

Even the first tier geniuses shouldn’t possess such strength!

And most crucially, all their words were considered for the good of the sect. In comparison, it made him seem rather ignorant and put the sect at a disadvantage.

He had no grounds to refute; from the standpoint of an observer, it was indeed he who had forsaken the opportunity to be civil with Li Xiaobai for his selfish benefit, while the geniuses of the Devil Cloud Cave were now desperately trying to salvage this.

He started to regret. Such talents existed within the Devil Cloud Cave, and he should have sought to warm up to them much sooner. Why had he put all his eggs in the broken basket that was Wu De?

“The matter concerning Li Xiaobai will be taken care of by the two of us, Elder Gongsun. Just focus on your duties. Do not make the mistake of delaying the growth and development of the Devil Cloud Cave, for you cannot bear that responsibility.”

Yang Chen said, exhaling through his nose with a cold huff.

“I, I understand!”

Elder Gongsun said weakly, having been utterly defeated that day.

Before so many fellow cultivators, his true nature had been exposed by two younger sect geniuses, leaving him with no face to show.

An Elder driven by self-interest, in whichever sect, would be an object of disdain. From now on, the name Elder Gongsun would be mud.

“Since you understand, then return and rest well. In the future, think more before you act; you can’t just do whatever you please.”

Ling Feng said slowly, his tone reaching the peak of arrogance. Casually instructing with a few words, he left with Yang Chen.

Elder Gongsun’s face turned from green to white, and he felt like his lungs were about to explode. Damn it, these two junior cultivators actually dared to publicly reprimand an elder like himself, speaking as if they were the elders and he the disciple.

He couldn’t swallow this indignation. Once he returned to the sect, he would definitely file a grievance against these two!

Regardless, showing no respect for one’s elders was simply wrong!

The surrounding cultivators also let out a sigh of relief. The pressure that the two geniuses exerted on them had been too great, leaving them somewhat breathless.

At the same time, Li Xiaobai had already returned to his own little house.

Inside, the scene was rather amusing, and Li Xiaobai’s expression was particularly colorful.

Aside from Yang Guang and his daughter, there was a bunch of young fellows and a table full of dishes and wine prepared leisurely, lying on the bed, waiting for Li Xiaobai’s arrival.

Yang Huan’s face was very embarrassed at the moment; she hadn’t expected Yang Guang to come over. Wasn’t this just exposing the big shot’s flirting?

Now the big shot was bound to get angry again.

The shock on Yang Guang’s face was indescribable. Having lived for so many years without even batting an eyelash, he could see at a glance that his daughter was up to mischief.

He never imagined that Young Master Li would actually be a fencing expert, just as sly and astute as Cai Kunxu.

This genius actually had such a hobby; he really didn’t know what to say. As expected of a genius, even his preferences were different from ordinary people.

“Giggle, kiddo, you actually want to fence again!”

“You shameless little brat!”

Ji Wuqing sprung three feet high from within his robes, his two little eyes glaring widely.

“Scram!”

A slap sent Ji Wuqing flying. Li Xiaobai’s inner world was collapsing, as if ten thousand “grass mud horses” were galloping through his heart.

Yang Huan’s behavior was utterly incomprehensible; this misunderstanding was getting bigger and bigger.

“Big shot, I understand, it’s inconvenient today. Let’s postpone to another day. You guys go back first; I’ll notify you when it’s time.”

Yang Huan immediately stood up and ushered the young fellows out.

Li Xiaobai didn’t want to talk to her anymore; Yang Huan was automatically blacklisted by him.

“Hehe, it’s good for young people to be a bit passionate; there’s nothing wrong with that. Having lived so many years, I’ve seen everything; it’s understandable!” Yang Guang said with a laugh from the side.

“City Lord Yang, what brings you here today?” Li Xiaobai’s expression was terribly dark, not wanting to continue on this topic anymore.

If it weren’t for the pressing time, he would definitely show the prowess of a man, thoroughly dealing with Yang Huan in discipline.

“Cough, cough. My visit today is mainly to remind Young Master Li about tomorrow’s battle. There are many things to be cautious about,” Yang Guang cleared his throat, his expression becoming serious.

“Please speak, City Lord Yang. I’m all ears,” Li Xiaobai said with a nod.

“Tomorrow in the Holy City, only Huann’er will accompany you. We do not have enough hands in the Holy City, and both Heavenly Blade and I cannot leave, so all actions will depend on you alone!”
