The one speaking was a Mortal Level Ninth Layer martial artist in a blue robe.
With thick eyebrows and large eyes, a sallow face, and yellowed teeth, he appeared to be around fifty years old. Holding a fine steel machete, he stared nacingly at Ya Sang.
There was a bruise on his thigh, stained with blood, with a clear line of teeth marks.
"Did you hear ? You better hand that brat over to ! That damned kid dared to bite ; I will surely chop him up!"
The martial artist in the blue robe with thick eyebrows and large eyes was relentless.
"Brother Huang, this little girl refuses to move aside, how about we deal with her too?"
A blue-robed martial artist laughed lewdly, his eyes showing lust.
"That’s a good idea."
Brother Huang smiled wickedly.
"What is all this commotion?"
Suddenly, a clear voice called out, followed by a wave of primordial power that made everyone anxious.
The Mortal Level martial artists were shocked, and the crowd made way, as a blue-robed youth ca forward with a cold face.
"Brother Yi Long!"
Brother Huang quickly greeted respectfully.
"What is causing such a disturbance here?"
An Yilong asked coldly.
After Wang Xu and Luo Xiao were promoted to inner layer disciples, there were two vacancies among the top ten outer layer disciples. An Yilong, through his own strength, secured the tenth position again.
Not only that, his battle with Wang Xu was quite rewarding, resulting in a breakthrough in strength. He challenged others, and his rank rose to sixth.
At this mont, An Yilong’s influence among the outer layer disciples was naturally greater than before.
"Brother Yi Long, here’s the situation: earlier I was playing around with a younger disciple, but he ungratefully bit my thigh. I was furious and wanted to teach him a lesson, otherwise, he will bite people in the future and disgrace the reputation of our Kunlong Martial Sect."
Brother Huang said.
"You’re lying! You wanted to steal my Qi Blood Pill!"
A voice filled with rage ca from inside the wooden hut, belonging to Yan Feng.
"Brother Yi Long, don’t listen to his lies. I wouldn’t covet a younger brother’s Qi Blood Pill. I was just playing with him."
Brother Huang hurriedly said.
"Brother Huang, you clearly tried to steal Yan Feng’s Qi Blood Pill and won’t admit it. When Wang Xu returns, I will have him bring us justice!"
Ya Sang blocked the door firmly.
"Hmph! Your Brother Wang Xu has entered the inner layer for a month and hasn’t returned, and he never will. Just give up on that..."
Crack!
Brother Huang’s arrogant words weren’t finished when, suddenly, An Yilong’s face changed dramatically. He turned and slapped Brother Huang’s face hard.
Slap! Slap! Slap...
An Yilong struck repeatedly, slapping Brother Huang dozens of tis until his face was swollen like a pig’s head.
"B...Brother Yi Long, what are you doing, I..."
Brother Huang endured the intense pain, looking at An Yilong in shock and fear. He had no idea what had happened, nor why Brother Yi Long suddenly attacked him.
"Shut up!"
An Yilong shouted fiercely, his voice amplified by primordial power, nearly rupturing Brother Huang’s eardrums.
Brother Huang shrank back in fear, not daring to say another word.
"Sister Ya Sang."
An Yilong turned around, the anger on his face fading, a slight smile appearing. "The Wang Xu you ntioned, is it the Wang Xu who was once ranked tenth among the top ten outer layer disciples?"
Ya Sang, not understanding the implication of An Yilong’s question, nodded cluelessly.
"Oh... I see, I see."
An Yilong nodded, smiling.
Then, he suddenly turned around, lifted a foot, and brought it crashing down on Brother Huang’s chest!
Bang!
"Gah..."
Brother Huang’s chest felt as though it had been hit by a massive hamr, and he spat out several mouthfuls of fresh blood. The intense pain engulfed his entire body, making him curl up like a shrimp, trembling and spasming.
"Anyone else who laid a hand on Sister Ya Sang, step out and apologize now! If I have to pull you out myself, your fate will be just like his!"
An Yilong’s voice was icy as he exerted more force with his foot, causing Brother Huang to cry out in agony, nearly passing out from the pain.
They knew very well of Brother Yi Long’s ans and strength; being targeted by him ant certain doom!
At the thought of this, their bodies trembled uncontrollably with fear.
Thump!
Thump... Thump...
The surrounding blue-robed martial artists knelt in terror, crying and bowing their heads to apologize to Ya Sang.
"This..."
Ya Sang stood there, stunned and at a loss.
"Sister Ya Sang, do not be afraid, with here, no one dares to bully you!"
An Yilong turned and smiled at Ya Sang.
On the surface, An Yilong appeared calm, but inwardly, he cursed and swore at Brother Huang countless tis!
Currently, Wang Xu was an inner layer disciple, his status soaring, and his strength definitely surpassed anyone among them.
There was sothing unknown to others, but An Yilong knew it well.
In the outer layer, disciples kill each other, it is a life for a life.
But if an inner layer disciple kills an outer layer disciple, they don’t need to pay with their life, only face certain punishnt!
Officially, life for a life is decreed in the sect without distinguishing between layers, yet An Yilong personally witnessed an inner layer disciple openly kill several outer layer disciples, only to be tasked with an insignificant mission by the Execution Hall as "punishnt"!
Since then, An Yilong developed a deep fear towards inner layer disciples and an intense longing for inner layer qualification.
If Wang Xu were to return in the future and involve An Yilong in revenge, even if he killed An Yilong or anyone, it would be a needless death.
Rather than being killed by Wang Xu, why not use this opportunity to appease him and form a good relationship with the inner layer disciples, which would elevate An Yilong’s standing amongst the outer layers!
"An Yilong... I swear I will not remain human if I don’t kill you!"
At that mont, Brother Huang, who had been beaten into a cripple by An Yilong, glared with intense hatred, as if he wanted to devour him alive.
Yan Feng only bit him once, yet Brother Huang wouldn’t let it go, showing he was a man who paid attention to every slight.
Then, Brother Huang suddenly felt his hair being grasped, a piercing pain etched deep into his bones.
"You are..."
Many outer layer disciples also saw this scene.
A black-robed figure exuding an unfathomable wave of primordial power grabbed Senior Brother Huang by the hair and lifted him forcefully from the ground.
Senior Brother Huang grimaced in pain, letting out a pained wail.
"Wang Xu!"
Ya Sang was extrely delighted upon seeing the black-robed figure.
"Young Master Wang!"
Yan Feng hastily bowed in salute.
"Senior Brother Wang."
An Yilong showed a face full of respect.
With an expressionless face, Wang Xu coldly glanced at these Mortal Level martial artists.
"Did you lay hands on Ya Sang?"
The cold voice reached Senior Brother Huang’s ears.
At this mont, Senior Brother Huang was so frightened that he wet himself. From the words and actions of Ya Sang, Yan Feng, and Senior Brother Yilong, he was very aware that the one holding him was Wang Xu, who had already beco an inner layer disciple!
"No... no! It wasn’t ! I didn’t even touch a single hair of Junior Sister Ya Sang. It was them... yes! It was them!"
Senior Brother Huang trembled, his voice shaking with fear.
He could very clearly sense death approaching, as if a sword hung above his head, ready to fall at any mont and take his life!
Whoosh~~~
An invisible spiritual consciousness pierced through.
"Uh..."
Senior Brother Huang’s terrified gaze instantly dimd, turning dull and lifeless. His body stopped trembling, becoming limp and powerless like a puddle of mud.
His life force completely extinguished and vanished.
"Dead... died?"
Nurous outer layer disciples took several steps back in shock, nearly falling to the ground.
An Yilong’s pupils contracted sharply, he quickly lowered his head to hide the fear in his eyes and his violently pounding heart.
He thought he was ruthless enough, but who knew Wang Xu was even more ruthless!
Without making a move he was fine, but once he made a move, he took a life directly!
Wang Xu casually tossed the lifeless body of Senior Brother Huang aside.
Boom~~
Suddenly, an intense wave of primordial qi burst out from his body.
"Wow..."
All the blue-robed martial artists who had previously surrounded Ya Sang spat blood, their faces turning pale.
"No... no... my ’primordial vein’... my primordial vein has been destroyed!"
The primordial vein is the most important part of a martial artist; once damaged, the martial artist’s strength dramatically declines.
Similarly, if the primordial vein is destroyed, the martial artist’s entire cultivation realm becos empty, turning them into a useless person!
Everyone’s face turned ashen. Destroying their primordial veins was equivalent to taking their lives.
"Go inside."
Wang Xu softly spoke, awakening Ya Sang and Yan Feng from their imnse shock.
The three entered the wooden house.
Leaving behind a group of outer layer disciples looking at each other in dismay.
Whoosh!
At this mont, a yellow-robed middle-aged man descended from the sky.
"Senior Brother!"
"Senior Brother!"
"Greetings, Senior Brother!"
Nurous outer layer disciples were startled. Sensing the primordial power emanating from this yellow-robed middle-aged man, they all respectfully saluted.
"You, collect the bodies and bury them. As for these disciples with destroyed primordial veins, all of them are to be expelled from Kunlong Martial Sect; they will no longer be disciples of Kunlong Martial Sect in the future."
The yellow-robed middle-aged man said indifferently, shocking all the outer layer disciples.
This was self-harm within the sect!
Could the sect handle this matter so lightly?
The yellow-robed middle-aged man’s gaze turned toward the wooden house. Everyone awaited expectantly, hoping he would summon Wang Xu and take action.
The sect’s iron rule, known to all, was that in cases of internal self-harm, the survivor must pay with their life for the one who died!
However, the yellow-robed middle-aged man rely glanced at it, ignored it, and turned to fly away from the scene.
This action not only shocked nurous outer layer disciples but also left An Yilong in terror.
Even if an inner layer disciple killed an outer layer disciple, there should at least be so punishnt, right?
But now, it was as if nothing happened at all, not to ntion punishnt; there wasn’t even a verdict!
What is Wang Xu’s status in the inner layer?
As An Yilong thought of this, he dared not think further. He only knew one thing: no matter what, he must never offend Wang Xu in the future!
"Wang Xu, you didn’t return for a month, I’ve missed you."
Ya Sang blushed.
Her personality was straightforward, but she was bashful in front of Wang Xu. If not for these days without seeing Wang Xu, causing her to miss him deeply, she wouldn’t have had the courage to speak up.
"Ya Sang, Yan Feng, in a few days, I will accept an inner layer mission and need to leave for a while. During this ti, focus on your cultivation."
Wang Xu remained impassive as he extended his fingers to press on Ya Sang’s and Yan Feng’s foreheads. "This is based on a primordial qi cultivation secret technique. With it, you should be able to rapidly improve your strength. I hope that by the ti I return, you will have reached the Earth Level."
A large amount of information was injected into Ya Sang’s and Yan Feng’s minds.
This primordial qi secret technique, simplified by You Ji according to the ’Silent Extinction Celestial Essence Technique’, is very suitable for Mortal Level martial artists to cultivate.
A mont later.
Ya Sang, having received all the information, opened her eyes.
"Wang Xu, when will you return?"
The first thing Ya Sang asked was not about the secret technique or cultivation, but about Wang Xu.
"Very soon."
Wang Xu’s face remained cold.
"I will wait for you to co back."
Ya Sang’s smile blossod like a flower. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian (qidian) to vote for recomndations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.)
