These words, when shouted out, were quite impactful. Coupled with his high level of cultivation, his voice was naturally loud...

Who is Xin Lao San? Yue Qianchou was stunned. He hadn't expected that among his hostages, there was such a powerful figure. Although he didn't know who Xin Lao San was, he had heard Nong Zhu mention Guan Zhongkai's identity... Sikong Jue, the eldest disciple of Yin Baikang, late Spirit Transformation stage Soul expert, was also an early Spirit Transformation stage expert, and Guan Zhongkai was Sikong Jue's disciple. In that case, Guan Zhongkai was Yin Baikang's prized grand-disciple.

The fact that Xin Lao San could say he would twist off Guan Zhongkai's head and use it as a chamber pot shows that he is not afraid of Guan Zhongkai and may even have a bigger background than Guan Zhongkai.

At the edge of the inferno Guan Zhongkai paused, his expression twitching. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and clicked his tongue, muttering to himself, "Xin Lao San? How come he's here too? I didn't see him at first."

"Xin Lao San in there too?" Yu Landu muttered to himself with a bitter smile, "Guan Zhongkai, why did you have to drag me into this? Now things are getting worse!" As he said this, he forgot about his own greed.

I glanced at the wildfire that was gradually spreading into the distance, the beautiful forests billowing with thick smoke...

Yue Qianchou didn't know who Xin Lao San was, but the two of them did. Lu Yanqing, one of the Four Great Oddities in the Cultivation World, the number one divine doctor in the world, the number one beauty in the world, mid Spirit Transformation stage expert, and the Valley Master of Lingfang Valley, was his master.

Xin Lao San had nine brothers, and most remarkably, they were all 90 babies born to the same mother. For one person to be pregnant with nine babies simultaneously is an extremely rare occurrence, and the mother nearly lost her life because of it. Fortunately, she met Lu Yanqing, known as the greatest healer in the world, who saved her life and ensured a successful delivery.

After the nine brothers were born, they were frail and on the verge of death. It was Lu Yanqing who saved their lives. Afterwards, Lu Yanqing discovered that all nine brothers actually had talent for cultivation, which was a rare thing. So she took all nine brothers as her disciples.

After the nine were born, although they were arranged in order of birth to determine their age, their cultivation aptitude did not follow this order. The youngest, Xin Lao Jiu, possessed extremely high talent and had already reached the early Spirit Transformation stage. Judging from his cultivation speed, he even had the potential to catch up with his master.

The other eight people had also reached the late Tribulation Transcendence stage. Of course, this was also related to the elixirs and miraculous medicines refined by Lu Yanqing.

The nine brothers always fought as a group; if one was bullied, the other eight would come to their aid. Anyone who had ever crossed paths with them was left with a terrible headache. It wasn't that they were afraid of the nine brothers, but rather of their master Lu Yanqing.

The Four Great Oddities are all formidable figures. The first, Bi Changchun, possesses astonishing cultivation, and no one dares to provoke him. The second, Wen Lanfeng, also boasts terrifyingly high cultivation. Aside from Bi Changchun, no one can rival him. The third, the Ancestor Nanming, and the fourth, Lu Yanqing, while not possessing the highest cultivation, are still highly respected. People flock to them seeking favors; offending them is a sure way to ensure your death, if not death, if not utterly ruined.

The most crucial point is that Lu Yanqing has a renowned protector, none other than Wen Lanfeng, one of the Four Great Oddities and the second most powerful martial artist in the world. Anyone who dares to bully Lu Yanqing will be avenged without her even having to say a word; Wen Lanfeng will quietly step in to get revenge for her. Tell me, how many people in this world dare to provoke Lu Yanqing? Furthermore, what difference does it make whether someone provokes the nine Xin brothers or Lu Yanqing?

Therefore, when Guan Zhongkai heard Xin Lao San start cursing, he broke out in a cold sweat. Not to mention him, even his grandmaster Yin Baikang would have to be wary.

But even fear wasn't as important as his own life! There was no guarantee he'd come out of that sea of blue flames if he charged in. He immediately shouted at the top of his lungs, "Brother Xin, I have no grudge against you. You can't blame me! This has nothing to do with me! That guy started the fire, tell him to let you out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xin Lao San shouted, "Bullshit! If it's none of your business, whose business is it? Two shameless late Tribulation Transcendence stage Transcending cultivators jumped out to fight a Nascent Soul Realm, and then stopped fighting halfway through. If you're not going to fight, just admit defeat. They've been cursing you for ages and you still haven't shown up. Have you no shame? Let me tell you, you either come back and continue fighting, or you admit defeat. If you dare to run away, you'll get me killed. I guarantee I'll drag you out even if you hide back in the 'Treasure Gathering Basin.' No one can protect you."

Guan Zhongkai was frustrated and didn't know what to say. Regardless of whether Xin Lao San cursed him or not, one thing was true: if he really ran away and killed this guy, even if he hid back in the headquarters of the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce, "Treasure Gathering Basin", the people of Lingfang Valley could still find him.

He knew his grandmaster Yin Baikang's character well; he bullied the weak and feared the strong! Besides, he had many disciples and grand-disciples at the late Tribulation Transcendence stage below him. They wouldn't risk offending Lingfang Valley for his sake and ruining everything. They would most likely ask him to come out and apologize.

It was a difficult decision. Running away was impossible, but going there now was out of fear of the deadly sea of fire, and if they surrendered, they could forget about ever holding their heads high in the Cultivation World again.

"What the hell is this all about!" Guan Zhongkai said self-deprecatingly. The reason he jumped out to oppose Yue Qianchou was because he heard that Yue Qianchou had killed one of his junior uncles, who was also at the late Tribulation Transcendence stage Realm, in the Huaxia Cultivation World. In reality, it wasn't for revenge or anything like that; he just wanted to curry favor with his grandmaster, Yin Baikang. Who would have thought that things would turn out like this after only a few moves? Of course, Yue Qianchou's two treasured swords were also a reason that attracted him to take action.

Yu Landu, on the other end, was filled with regret. She sighed repeatedly and decided to remain silent. Guan Zhongkai, with his background, was afraid of Xin Lao San; he was even less likely to be.

Yue Qianchou on the sea of fire, was amused. Judging from their words, Guan Zhongkai was genuinely afraid of this guy. He immediately shouted, "Good! Everyone else, start cursing too! Don't worry, with so many of us cursing together, he won't be able to tell who's who. Don't fear his retaliation!" He then added, "I forgot to tell you, the fire shield is slowly closing in. We don't have much time left, so hurry up and curse!"

That's well said. The reason everyone was hesitant to utter much criticism was because they feared that even if they escaped this ordeal, they wouldn't escape Guan Zhongkai's retaliation. After being enlightened, they all became less polite and indeed, they were filled with righteous indignation as they loudly cursed.

"Guan Zhongkai, you cowardly bastard, get out here..."

"Yu Landu, you shameless scoundrel, what are you doing here humiliating yourself with such a cowardly act..."

More than two thousand people were roaring in anger, because hundreds had already fallen. The noise was deafening, disturbing the peace above and below; they were hurling all sorts of insults, far more vicious than when they were cursing Yue Qianchou.

On the sea of fire, Yue Qianchou grabbed a handful of Qi Replenishing Pill into his mouth, chewing slowly with his arms crossed, his face not looking too good. He was calculating in his mind... Since he was now in the Cultivation World, he couldn't let this blood go to waste, otherwise everyone would come knocking on his door. He wanted to see what those two guys would do; if they came, he'd kill them; if they didn't, he'd just have to let his subordinates suffer. If he was going to cause trouble, he'd make it big; deaths happened every day, it was just a matter of how many...

Nong Zhu shook her head and sighed. Just a short while ago, this group was cursing Yue Qianchou, and now they're helping Yue Qianchou. Today's events have certainly been eye-opening. This trip was worthwhile, except my ears are a little numb from all the noise...

Wen Rui Wen Bai looked at each other speechlessly. How did things turn out like this? Guan Zhongkai and Yu Landu really unlucky.

Guan Zhongkai and Yu Landu, at opposite ends of the sea of fire, had faces that alternated between red and white. It would be a lie to say they couldn't hear anything. After being beaten up like this, even if they were alright, they would try to stay home as much as possible in the Cultivation World in the future.

Guan Zhongkai was so angry he was trembling when he suddenly heard the sound of wind breaking behind him. He turned around sharply and saw that it was Mi Ruhai and Mi Ruquan had arrived. His expression softened slightly.

"So it's Brother Guan. What's going on? How..." Mi Ruhai stopped mid-sentence. The curses emanating from the sea of fire were incessant, a variety of insults, and none of them were ordinary.

After noticing the anomaly, the two men, worried about their leader's safety, rushed over together, only to overhear this. Exchanging bewildered glances, they looked down at the rapidly spreading wildfire below and simultaneously frowned. Mi Ruhai said in a deep voice, "So many people are cursing you and Yu Landu. Brother Guan, could it be that this inferno was Yu Landu?"

"Brother Mi, don't misunderstand. How could I possibly set such a big fire on Senior Huo's territory, especially on the outskirts of Dayang City?" Guan Zhongkai waved his hands repeatedly. He was already in a bad mood; how could he afford to provoke Huo Zongming as well?

"What exactly happened?" Mi Ruhai asked, frowning.

"Brother, I've had the worst luck imaginable! I've run into a jinx! What bad luck!" Guan Zhongkai recounted the whole story with a long face...

The two brothers were stunned. The elder brother had gone out to greet the guests, while the two of them had stayed inside the palace, never expecting that Yue Qianchou had caused such a huge incident. Coming to their senses, Mi Ruquan anxiously asked, "Brother Guan, are you saying my elder brother is still in this sea of fire?"

Upon hearing this, Guan Zhongkai's eyes lit up, and he nodded, saying, "That's right. Mi Rushan is indeed inside. You two brothers might as well force Yue Qianchou to release him."

Upon hearing this, Mi Ruquan immediately panicked and turned around to shout, "Second Brother, let's go save Big Brother!" He then turned to leave.

"Wait!" Mi Ruhai grabbed him, his gaze fixed intently on Guan Zhongkai. The latter, somewhat guilty, avoided his eyes, thinking to himself that he had been out of his mind and shouldn't have explained the whole story so clearly, otherwise he could have used the two of them to pressure Yue Qianchou.

"Second brother, what are you hesitating for? Eldest brother is in danger!" Mi Ruquan said anxiously.

Mi Ruhai said in a deep voice, "Didn't you hear what Brother Guan said? Yue Qianchou has taken more than three thousand lives hostage, not just our eldest brother. If you and I rush in blindly, it would be good if we could force Yue Qianchou to release them, and it would also solve Brother Guan's problem. But if we push Yue Qianchou too far and he decides to fight to the death, then our eldest brother and those three thousand people would have died in vain. This is a responsibility that neither you nor I can bear."
