"Trying to leave? Too late! Surround them!"
Lu Tianci's expression darkened at the sight, and he barked the order.
The four people beside him immediately rushed forward and surrounded Chen Shanmu and Jiang Bei.
They were in a square, and the commotion drew countless disciples over to watch.
"Look! What happened? Are they about to fight?"
"Whoa! Who's that? If I'm not mistaken, that's Lu Tianci, isn't it? Lu Feng's second older brother?"
"That's him! He's a formidable fighter at Major Refinement of the Tripod-Asking Realm, an elite disciple. Who's he clashing with?"
"Isn't the man opposite him Chen Shanmu from the Alchemy Hall? He's a complete fool. But Lu Tianci isn't from the Alchemy Hall, so why is he picking on Chen Shanmu?"
"You haven't heard? Not long ago, Chen Shanmu saved someone outside, a man called Jiang Bei, I think. Then they clashed with Lu Feng and gave him a brutal beating. Even his head was split open! Lu Tianci's here for revenge!"

Or did your useless brother only come crying to you and leave out the details?"
Jiang Bei's voice was cold.
"How dare you!"
