The thin young man was badly frightened by his own thoughts, but he quickly calmed himself.
So what if she was a Nascent Soul True Lord? His clan had Nascent Soul Cultivators too!
She dared rely on her cultivation to bully him; this matter could not be allowed to rest.
Suppressing the resentment in his heart, he endured his anger and said, "Why did you attack and injure someone for no reason? Even a Nascent Soul True Lord should respect who came first, shouldn't they?"
"Who came first?"
As though she had heard some joke, Xu Chunniang's lips curled into an inscrutable smile.
The thin young man forcibly steadied himself and nodded.
"I am Zeng Zhiping, younger brother of the Zeng Family Head of Iron Eagle Island. I had my eye on these two spirit beasts first. You relied on your cultivation to sever one of my arms—are you trying to make an enemy of my Zeng Household?"
When the thin young man announced his identity, many of those nearby revealed looks of surprise.
"So he is from the Zeng Household of Iron Eagle Island—and the Zeng Family Head's own younger brother!"
"Iron Eagle Island is not far from here. The Zeng Household has three Nascent Soul True Lords under its roof; their strength cannot be underestimated."
"I wonder what this senior woman's cultivation is. Will she compromise with the Zeng Household?"
Yet after getting a clear look at this senior woman, several people's expressions changed at once. "It's her... She actually didn't die!"
The Bearded Man surnamed Meng felt even more conflicted. Back then, he had been certain that she would not die so easily.
But he had never expected that when they met again, she would have become a Nascent Soul True Lord beyond his reach!
