Ye Wushuang heard the shout and glanced over, chuckling slightly as he said, “Why wouldn’t I dare to show up? It’s you who ran away with your tail between your legs earlier, and now you’re acting so arrogantly. Do you feel safer with backup?”
The person who had shouted was none other than Qi Zhen Shan, the third elder of the Qi family.
Upon hearing the exchange between the two, the onlookers cast curious and odd glances at both parties. Ever since the establishment of the Holy Sky Sect, the Sword Pavilion and the Qi family had never been at peace.
It seemed that…
Ye Wushuang and Qi Zhen Shan had indeed had some sort of encounter earlier!
Qi Zhen Shan’s eyes were filled with anger at Ye Wushuang’s words.
“Would you dare to have a one-on-one duel with me?” he snorted.
“How come you’ve lived to this age but become more shameless?” As soon as Qi Zhen Shan finished speaking, Xuan Qingyi, the third mansion lord of the Xuan Tian Mansion, stepped forward with a sneer. “One-on-one duel? How old are you, and how old is Ye Wushuang? Bullying the young, are we?”
“If you want a duel, I’ll have a one-on-one with you!”
Upon hearing this, a flash of ferocity and apprehension crossed Qi Zhen Shan’s eyes. Xuan Qingyi was the third-ranking figure in the Xuan Tian Mansion, truly at the peak of the Star-Plucking Transcendence realm.
Qi Zhen Shan was at the late stage of the Star-Plucking Transcendence realm. Although it seemed like just a minor difference from the peak state of Xuan Qingyi, in reality, the gap was enormous!
In the Central Continent, there were many cultivators at the initial, intermediate, and late stages of the Star-Plucking Transcendence realm. However, those at the peak, perfect, and great perfect stages were few and far between. Why?
Because advancing from the late stage to the peak was a significant hurdle, and many cultivators at the Star-Plucking Transcendence realm might never cross it in their entire lives.
“Xuan Qingyi, what’s the meaning of this? Is your Xuan Tian Mansion also planning to meddle?” At this moment, Qi Zhen Tian, the second elder of the Qi family, spoke in a lukewarm tone, “It seems that the Holy Sky Sect has indeed stirred up quite a few people.”
“Hehe!” Xuan Qingyi let out a cold laugh. “Whether others are stirred up or not, I don’t know, but people from your Qi family sure seem lively!”
“Xuan Qingyi, you can’t speak like that. Up until now, the relationships among us on the Central Continent have been relatively harmonious. But ever since the Holy Sky Sect appeared, it has stirred up nothing but bloodshed everywhere…” A clear and cheerful voice rang out from the Yun family’s side. The speaker was Yun Hongyang, a peak cultivator at the Star-Plucking Transcendence realm and a core member of the Yun family!
“Yun Hongyang! No matter how many people die, it’s not for your Yun family to decide!” A cold snort sounded.
Everyone turned their heads to look, and their eyes widened in surprise. The speaker was Bao Tianchuan, the second-ranking figure of the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce and the younger brother of the current president of the chamber. The Tianbao Chamber of Commerce had always remained neutral, with business not only on the Tianyuan Continent but also extending to the surrounding continents.
No one had expected that at this moment, someone from the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce would actually take a stand.
As soon as Bao Tianchuan spoke, the Yun family members furrowed their brows.
Yun Hongyang laughed and said, “Brother Tianchuan, what do you mean by that?”
When had the relationship between the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce and the Xuan Tian Mansion become so close!
“What do I mean?” Bao Tianchuan’s face turned cold as he said, “Your Yun family has been hiding its true colors. Everyone always thought that the Qi family of Lingqia Mountain was tied to the Sword Pavilion, but now it seems that your Yun family has long been part of the Sword Pavilion’s faction!”
Upon hearing this, the top figures from the Yun family present all frowned. Yun Changbai, the head of the Yun family, along with Yun Changzhong, Yun Quyan, and Yun Quyin, the core members, looked at Bao Tianchuan without speaking for a moment.
Yun Hongyang smiled and said, “Brother Tianchuan, there must be some misunderstanding about my Yun family. We have stood on the Central Continent for many years. Why would we bow down to the Sword Pavilion?”
“Misunderstanding? You really know how to pretend, don’t you, Yun Hongyang!”
Bao Tianchuan took a step forward and said in a clear voice, “Your Yun family is really arrogant. The Holy Sky Sect is your enemy, so we can’t do business with them?”
Yun Hongyang’s brows furrowed.
Bao Tianchuan continued, “My daughter Bao Qiuling, my niece Bao Yun’er, and Elder He Ding encountered Yun Hongda from your Yun family on the way. Yun Hongda was very domineering. Just because our Tianbao Chamber of Commerce has business dealings with the Holy Sky Sect, he wanted to kill my daughter and the others…”
Yun Hongyang was taken aback and said, “Is that true? I…”
“Yun Hongyang, we’re not three-year-olds. Is pretending like this really interesting?”
“Brother Tianchuan, there must be some misunderstanding…”
Bao Tianchuan looked at Yun Hongyang and cursed directly, “I’ll misunderstand your great-grandfather!!!”
This sudden outburst stunned everyone present.
Yun Hongyang, at the peak of transcendence, was one of the core members of the Yun family.
Bao Tianchuan represented the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce!
Everyone here was a prominent figure. No one would remain calm if they were scolded so openly.
But for Bao Tianchuan, he was indeed extremely angry.
Bao Qiuling was his daughter.
And she had great talent. Reaching the Star-Plucking Transcendence realm was just around the corner, and she would be one of the future leaders of the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce.
The Yun family actually dared to try to kill his daughter!
There was no way Bao Tianchuan could swallow this insult!
Yun Hongyang snorted and said, “Brother Tianchuan, I’ve given you enough face.”
“Do I need you to give me face?”
Bao Tianchuan coldly snorted, “One-on-one, come on, I’m not afraid of you.”
The situation had become very awkward at this point.
Bao Tianchuan continued, “It’s a fact that Yun Hongda from your Yun family wanted to kill my daughter. The Yun family can’t deny it!”
Yun Hongda?
Yun Hongyang’s face was shocked as he said, “He… I didn’t encounter him.”
“He’s already dead!”
Elder He Ding, standing beside Bao Tianchuan, said in a cold voice, “I was with Bao Qiuling and Bao Yun’er outside the Blood Pit when we ran into Yun Hongda. He clearly had been plotting for a long time. Taking advantage of my severe injuries, he wanted to kill us!”
“Fortunately, Ye Wushuang from the Holy Sky Sect came to our aid with his people. Otherwise, we would have become food for wild beasts!”
At this moment, the onlookers were all stunned.
The Yun family had actually made a move against the core members of the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce. This was not something that could be easily explained away with a few words.
