Sheep Entering the Tiger's Mouth

"Who is Lu Changsheng?"

"Get out here!"

A gloomy, angry shout, like a clap of thunder, caused a commotion throughout Labor Peak, with countless menial disciples rushing out to watch the spectacle.

Not far away, a group of figures was approaching aggressively. These individuals were all dressed in blue, indicating they were likely Outer Disciples.

Leading them was a tall, slender young man with long hair.

This young man had a hooked nose and a sinister expression, making him look like someone not to be trifled with.

This young man's name was Wu Rui, the leader of the Wu Gang. He held considerable influence among the Outer Disciples.

"What's going on?"

"These Outer Disciples seem to be looking for Lu Changsheng. Did that guy stir up trouble?"

"Heh heh, he must have. Let's just wait and watch the show."

"..."

Some menial disciples began to gossip, and their tone suggested a hint of schadenfreude.

After all, someone who was once called the biggest trash of the Outer Disciples had now ascended to the status of an Outer Disciple. This naturally bred jealousy among the other menial disciples. Now that Outer Disciples were here to cause trouble, they were eager to see Lu Changsheng make a fool of himself.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng slowly walked out of his small, dilapidated hut.

He looked over at the group of Outer Disciples and couldn't help but frown inwardly. He didn't recognize any of them, so why were they here to cause trouble for him?

"You are Lu Changsheng?"

Wu Rui asked condescendingly.

"Indeed. Do I seem to have any grievances with you, sir?"

Lu Changsheng replied neither subserviently nor arrogantly.

"There are no grievances, but you've offended someone you shouldn't have. So, you need to pay a price now!"

Wu Rui's tone was sharp and cold.

"Who?"

Lu Changsheng narrowed his eyes.

"Who? Heh heh, stop playing dumb. Don't tell me you've forgotten about stealing Junior Sister Cheng Xue's treasure? Hand over Junior Sister Cheng Xue's belongings immediately!"

Wu Rui's eyes blazed with anger.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng instantly understood why this guy was here to cause trouble. It turned out he was instigated by Cheng Xue, who wanted to snatch his Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron again!

"That slut!"

Lu Changsheng's expression turned grim.

He hadn't expected Cheng Xue to incite Wu Rui to steal his divine cauldron!

That slut, relying on her outstanding beauty, only needed to employ a little charm, and countless disciples would eagerly step forward to defend her.

"Hand over the treasure cauldron immediately, and then come with me to apologize to Junior Sister. Otherwise, today will be your nightmare!"

Wu Rui's gaze was sinister.

"Heh heh..."

Lu Changsheng gave a faint smile.

Seeing that Lu Changsheng had no intention of handing over the treasure cauldron, Wu Rui's anger intensified. He immediately shouted, "Kneel down now!"

Boom!

As soon as he spoke, a powerful aura of the seventh level of Qi Condensation transformed into spiritual pressure, sweeping towards Lu Changsheng. Facing such a formidable spiritual pressure, Lu Changsheng remained completely unfazed. He circulated the Heaven Swallowing Creation Art, rapidly absorbing the power.

"Huh?!"

Seeing that Lu Changsheng hadn't knelt down, Wu Rui couldn't help but frown. Ordinary cultivators would have likely fallen to their knees like dead dogs under his pressure.

This guy was completely unmoved!

What was going on?

"I'll give you three breaths of time. Get out of my sight immediately, or I'll beat you into a pulp!"

Lu Changsheng's voice was icy.

Whoosh—

Lu Changsheng's words immediately caused a stir among the countless menial disciples on Labor Peak. The disciples of the Wu Gang also began to discuss heatedly.

"What did you say?!"

Wu Rui's face darkened. Had this brat eaten bear's heart and leopard's gall?

He actually dared to threaten him!

"Since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish!"

Swish!

As Wu Rui finished speaking, he immediately gripped a golden spear in his hand and intended to stab fiercely at Lu Changsheng.

Boom—

However, just at this moment, the aura within Lu Changsheng erupted.

That powerful spiritual pressure surged out like a tide.

Pfft!

Some menial disciples were directly sent flying, spitting blood from the shock, while Wu Rui's expression instantly turned to horror!

"Eighth level of Core Condensation Realm?!"

Wu Rui's pupils constricted.

How could this be possible!

Didn't Junior Sister Cheng Xue say this guy was only at the first level of Core Condensation Realm?

Wu Rui was completely dumbfounded.

"Heavens!"

"Eighth level of Core Condensation Realm! Is this guy still the same good-for-nothing he used to be?"

At this moment, countless menial disciples were greatly shocked.

In the past, Lu Changsheng was known as the biggest waste among the Outer Disciples, even a disgrace on Labor Peak.

After cultivating for more than ten years, his realm was still stuck at the Second Level of Qi Condensation.

Yet, in just one month, this guy not only became an Outer Disciple but his strength had also advanced to the eighth level of Core Condensation Realm!

"Gulp..."

Wu Rui swallowed, his face showing panic. Facing Lu Changsheng, who had reached the eighth level of Core Condensation Realm, he probably had no chance of winning.

"Let's go!"

Immediately, Wu Rui intended to lead the Wu Gang disciples to flee the scene.

"Wait! You think you can just leave like that? Too naive!"

Lu Changsheng sneered.

"You..."

"What do you want?!"

Wu Rui was extremely wary.

"You came to cause trouble for me, and you think you can just walk away? It's not that easy! Hand over everything valuable on you, and that golden spear too. Consider it your apology for disrespecting me!"

Lu Changsheng smiled slightly.

"What?!"

Wu Rui's face turned ashen. This guy actually wanted to extort him!

It's over, it's really like a sheep falling into a tiger's mouth!

"Of course, you can choose not to hand it over, but I will definitely beat you up severely, so you'd better think carefully."

Lu Changsheng said calmly.

"You!!"

Wu Rui gritted his teeth.

He secretly regretted it, wishing he hadn't stepped up for his junior sister!

"Here!"

Gritting his teeth, Wu Rui threw the golden spear in his hand directly to Lu Changsheng.

"Also, hand over everything valuable on you, including your other gang members!"

Lu Changsheng threatened again.

"Damn it!"

"Wuwuwu..."

The other disciples of the Wu Gang also had no choice but to hand over everything they had.

This time, they had truly lost everything, down to their last pair of underwear!

"Let's go!"

After handing over all their possessions, Wu Rui, like a stray dog, led the Wu Gang members and quickly left.

Seeing Wu Rui and the others flee Labor Peak in disgrace, countless menial disciples were dumbfounded. Was this still the same Lu Changsheng they knew, the one who was so weak and bullied by everyone?

At this moment, Lu Changsheng swept his gaze over them with a cold tone, causing these menial disciples to become sheepish. They all quickly turned and left, afraid of retaliation from Lu Changsheng. After all, when Lu Changsheng was on Labor Peak, they had bullied and insulted him quite a bit.

However, Lu Changsheng couldn't be bothered to deal with these menial disciples anymore.

"Quite a fruitful haul."

Looking at the spoils of war, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but curve his lips slightly.
