"Brother Yue, have you thought this through?" Qiu Wuyuan said Chou Wuyuan, his eyes constantly glancing at the four family heads and giving them meaningful glances. The four family heads, somewhat stunned, immediately realized what was happening and exclaimed in unison, "No!"

Yue Qianchou waved his hand and said calmly, "There's nothing wrong with that. The grudge between me and the Daluo Sect will have to be settled sooner or later. Today is just the beginning. If you Four Great Families truly acknowledge my identity, then stop trying to stop me. Ziyi back!"

Upon hearing the call, Ziyi immediately understood Yue Qianchou's meaning. She stood between him and the four family heads, her pretty face expressionless.

"Yue Qianchou, if something happens to you, how will we explain to the Clan Elder, how will we face the old..." Wu Sihai was getting anxious and almost mentioned the Old Ancestor. Although he didn't say it, everyone around him had their eyes flashing, all secretly speculating about what kind of identity Yue Qianchou had that made the Four Great Families willing to turn against the Daluo Sect in order to protect him.

Luo Qingtian was stunned for a long while. He had spoken in anger, but he hadn't expected Yue Qianchou to actually agree. It was truly unexpected. Coming to his senses, he coldly glanced at the four family heads and snorted, "Nowadays, although the Huaxia Cultivation World is being eyed covetously by foreign enemies, if your Four Great Families are the first to provoke my Daluo Sect, then don't blame my Daluo Sect for not following the rules." As he spoke, he waved to the surrounding crowd and said, "I ask all my fellow Cultivation World to be my witnesses."

The onlookers immediately erupted in cheers. Luo Qingtian held a high position in the Cultivation World; ordinary cultivators rarely even had the chance to see him. Now, to witness him in action, and against Yue Qianchou, known as the Scum of the Cultivation World, was quite a spectacle. As for Yue Qianchou's nickname, it was unclear whether he had actually committed some shameless act or if someone had given it to him out of jealousy. It was also unknown when the nickname originated, but regardless of its veracity, everyone called him that.

A heavy burden was placed upon them, and the four family heads exchanged glances with deeply furrowed brows, still hesitant. Yue Qianchou stared at Luo Qingtian and said calmly, "This is a matter between me and the Daluo Sect, and has nothing to do with the Four Great Families. Ziyi, please step aside, the four family heads."

The Ziyi stared expressionlessly at the four. At this point, the four had nothing to say, shook their heads helplessly, and stepped aside. Wu Sihai gave a few instructions to one of the Wu family elders, who quickly rushed back towards the Wu family, presumably to report.

The fight was about to begin, and those who were too close didn't want to get caught in the crossfire, yet they also didn't want to miss the excitement, so they all pushed their way back. After all, Luo Qingtian's cultivation was profound, and they might get caught in the aftershocks of the fight. Besides, Yue Qianchou's 'Star Flame Fire Art' was not something to be trifled with. However, no one wanted to retreat too far and not be able to see clearly, so many people simply flew to the rooftops to watch.

The vast arena was quickly cleared for the two, with only a few, including Dongfang Changao, who were confident in their superior cultivation and unafraid of being caught in the crossfire, remaining somewhat stagnant. Yue Qianchou and Luo Qingtian locked eyes, and a tense atmosphere slowly brewed...

After waiting for a while, Luo Qingtian's eyes actually showed a hint of admiration for Yue Qianchou. He could not see any panic or fear in Yue Qianchou. Among the younger generation, few people dared to face him like this. Just based on this courage, he was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

He didn't know that since Yue Qianchou had been following Bi Changchun, his vision had become far beyond what it used to be. Having spent a long time with people of Bi Changchun's level, he was too lazy to even pay attention to Demon King and ghost kings who were equivalent to the late Tribulation Transcendence stage. How could he possibly take a mid Tribulation stage Transcending Realm seriously, let alone be afraid of him?

Just as things were about to escalate, Luo Qingtian suddenly spoke up, "Yue Qianchou, you truly live up to your reputation. You are a man of courage. But I don't understand why you have repeatedly opposed my Daluo Sect, even going so far as to kill my only son?"

"Sect Leader Luo must have misunderstood something. It's not that I, Yue Qianchou, have repeatedly opposed the Daluo Sect, but rather that your Daluo Sect, relying on its power, has repeatedly gone too far in bullying others," Yue Qianchou replied coldly.

Luo Qingtian raised a white eyebrow and said with considerable arrogance, "I am confident that I have strict discipline over my disciples, so how can you say that I am abusing my power to bully others?"

"Strict discipline? What a joke!" Yue Qianchou scoffed. "When I first entered the Cultivation World, my master from the Qingguang Sect accidentally obtained a spiritual herb, the 'Seven-Colored Spirit Ganoderma.' Unfortunately, he ran into people from your Daluo Sect. Not only did your Daluo Sect disciples steal the herb, but they also kidnapped me. My master died, and I was forced to wander aimlessly. Is this what you call strict discipline? Secondly, you failed to raise your son properly, letting him cause trouble. Your son, Luo Xiaohan, actually forced Yue Qianchou woman to drink with him in public. Tell me, shouldn't I have taught him a lesson?" "You call this my opposition to your Daluo Sect? Hundred Flower Valley, your son harbored resentment and repeatedly provoked me, forcing me to duel him, which is why I had to kill him. Did you expect me to just let him kill me? These things aren't fabricated; many people witnessed them firsthand. Why, in your Sect Leader Luo's mouth, has it become me repeatedly opposing your Daluo Sect? If I happened to encounter one thing, it could be considered a coincidence, but to encounter it repeatedly—is the Daluo Sect really as strictly disciplined as you, Sect Leader Luo, claim?"

When it comes to reasoning, Yue Qianchou has never been afraid of anyone. He immediately listed all the crimes of the Daluo Sect in front of everyone in the Cultivation World, as if he himself had been persecuted by the sect. Ziyi, standing to the side, glanced at Yue Qianchou, her beautiful lips moving slightly. She thought to herself, "So even my master doesn't know everything. Perhaps there are other hidden stories."

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingtian's white eyebrows trembled slightly. He turned his sharp gaze back and glanced at Ye Haiping and the other Daluo Sect. Their eyes darted away in fear, as if there were indeed inside stories about what Yue Qianchou had said that even the sect leader, Luo Qingtian, did not know.

"Saying more is pointless. I will avenge the death of my son." Luo Qingtian turned around, paused, and then said, "To avoid the world saying that I am abusing my power and bullying the weak, I will give you three moves first. If you can withstand a hundred moves from me and survive, I guarantee that the grudge between you and the Daluo Sect will be wiped clean. Neither I nor the Daluo Sect will cause you any trouble again. Do you think that's fair?"

Dongfang Changao and Chou Wuyuan both twitched their brows. In their view, although it was almost impossible for Yue Qianchou to last a hundred moves against Luo Qingtian had at least given Yue Qianchou a way out; it wasn't necessarily a fight to the death. It seemed that Yue Qianchou's words had had an effect. A murmur of discussion arose among the crowd.

"Even if you don't cause me trouble, I'll still cause trouble for your Daluo Sect sooner or later." Yue Qianchou said indifferently, "Since we're settling our scores, there's no such thing as fairness or unfairness. Sect Leader Luo's good intentions are not appreciated by me, Yue Qianchou."

"You make the first move! After three moves, I will not hold back." Luo Qingtian spread his white eyebrows and said loudly, "Let me experience your Yue Qianchou's 'Star Flame Fire Art'."

"I definitely won't let you down." Yue Qianchou snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards the bridge across the river, saying as he walked, "It's better if we settle our scores on this hundred-meter-wide river, so that the nearby shops won't suffer."

The river was a hundred meters wide, and the bridge was also a hundred meters long, with the water flowing gently beneath it. Just as Yue Qianchou reached the center of the arched bridge, he suddenly heard a whooshing sound. He turned around sharply and saw Luo Qingtian rushing towards him like a phantom, instantly standing two or three meters away.

Yue Qianchou was slightly surprised. Such speed! It was almost like teleportation.

Beneath his white eyebrows, his sharp eyes gleamed with fighting spirit. Luo Qingtian said in a deep voice, "Make your move!"

All eyes immediately turned to the bridge, and many people crowded around to get a closer look once they reached it. Yue Qianchou didn't stand on ceremony; with a flick of his sleeve, a hundred cyan flying swords shot out and swirled around him. Luo Qingtian's eyes flashed as he exclaimed, "What strange flying swords! What a brilliant Sword Control cultivation technique!"

Before he finished speaking, dozens of flying swords transformed into azure light and shot towards him with lightning speed. Luo Qingtian shouted, "One move!" He transformed into a blur and soared into the air from the bridge, barely dodging the incoming flying swords.

Yue Qianchou made a hand seal, and the flying sword he had shot out quickly turned back, merging with all the other flying swords and gleaming with a blue light as they pierced the sky, chasing after Luo Qingtian. A shout rang out from high above, "Two moves!" Suddenly, Luo Qingtian, who was soaring upwards, changed direction and shot out at an angle, a group of blue figures brushing past him.

A gasp of amazement rippled through the crowd. To be able to suddenly turn without stopping while flying at such high speed, without slowing down at all, truly lived up to the reputation of the world-renowned Daluo Sect Master; his cultivation was indeed extraordinary. Even Chou Wuyuan help but praise, "Well done, Luo Qingtian, truly remarkable."

Damn it! Even the flying swords can't catch him; this old guy's speed is insane. Yue Qianchou narrowed his eyes. Both were at the mid Tribulation stage Transcending realm, but He Li was far inferior to Luo Qingtian. At the very least, He Li didn't have this ability. With a change in hand seals, the hundred flying swords in the air spun into long pillars, like Flying Dragon in the sky, chasing after Luo Qingtian.

"Three moves!" Luo Qingtian shouted in mid-air, his body suddenly plummeting downwards, dodging the flying sword with lightning speed once more, and shooting towards Yue Qianchou in the middle of the river bridge...

The three moves were over; it was time for Luo Qingtian to make his move. The people watching below immediately began to worry for Yue Qianchou.

A figure hurtled in, Yue Qianchou spread his arms wide, unleashing a burst of azure flames that instantly spread to both ends of the bridge. The sudden surge of heat reduced the hundred-meter-long bridge to ashes almost immediately. Those watching from nearby were startled and quickly fled the bridgehead; the terrifying heat was truly chilling.

Two leaping azure flames flashed in Yue Qianchou's eyes. He raised his head and struck out with a palm towards Luo Qingtian, a thick azure fire dragon welcoming the approaching figure. Luo Qingtian, who was descending downwards, was also startled. He had never seen azure flames before, and even before he arrived, he felt the terrifyingly high temperature. A white protective Gang Qi instantly burst forth from his body, enveloping him as he swooped down, immediately plunging into the oncoming azure flames.

Those watching below stared in disbelief, awaiting the outcome. But Luo Qingtian, who had just plunged into the azure flames, instantly turned and flew backward, soaring into the sky... The Ziyi below suddenly smiled, thinking to herself, "This man definitely doesn't know the power of Yue Qianchou's azure flames. He's sure to suffer a silent loss. Even I, with my late Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivation, can hardly withstand it; how could your mere mid Tribulation stage cultivation possibly handle it..."
