I Am Arrogant, I Am Overbearing (Part 1)

Chapter 11: I am Arrogant, I am Domineering (Part 1)

While Nan Huairen wasn't a genius, his aptitude was decent, otherwise, he wouldn't have become an envoy. He had previously studied the Mystic Gate Saber, and in his opinion, it was just an ordinary martial skill. Today, however, in Li Qiye's hands, it possessed a power that could transform the mundane into the miraculous.

Li Qiye's words made Nan Huairen quite disbelieving. But seeing was believing, and he couldn't help but say, "No matter how powerful a martial skill is, it can't compare to Daoist magic. Martial skills are merely branches and leaves."

In fact, even now, he himself didn't quite believe that the mere Mystic Gate Saber technique could kill a cultivator like Du Yuanguang. Yet, he had witnessed it with his own eyes!

Li Qiye didn't offer much explanation for Nan Huairen's disbelief, merely stating leisurely and unhurriedly, "It depends on whose martial skill it is, and whose Daoist magic!"

Nan Huairen naturally didn't know that although the Mystic Gate Saber technique originated from the mortal world, it was later refined by Immortal Emperor Mingren. While this saber technique couldn't compare to Imperial Techniques, it was more than enough to surpass ordinary Daoist magic.

Nan Huairen was filled with doubt and uncertainty. If this were before, he would have certainly considered Li Qiye arrogant and ignorant. But now, it seemed Li Qiye wasn't arrogant or ignorant at all. His casual actions were enough to show that he was confident and had everything under control.

This made Nan Huairen look at Li Qiye strangely. Nan Huairen was adept at social graces and navigating complex situations, able to read people's expressions and guess their thoughts. However, Li Qiye, who was only thirteen years old, was someone he couldn't fathom.

At thirteen years old, Li Qiye was merely a disciple who had recently joined the Washing Yan Ancient Sect. Such disciples were usually green and excitable. Yet, Li Qiye was as deep as an abyss and as still as settled water, giving off an indescribable feeling.

A few days ago, Li Qiye had become the Chief Disciple of the Washing Yan Ancient Sect by holding the Washing Yan Ancient Token of the Third Ghost Lord. With his Mortal Fate, Mortal Meridians, and Mortal Physique, not only the six Grand Elders but even Nan Huairen himself felt Li Qiye had no future.

When he first interacted with Li Qiye, he even thought Li Qiye was a bit deranged, perhaps even arrogant, ignorant, and fearless. But now, reflecting on his interactions with Li Qiye over the past few days, what he considered arrogance and ignorance seemed to be perfectly natural to Li Qiye!

While Nan Huairen was in a state of shock and uncertainty, his master, Protector Mo, was in despair. Killing a disciple of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate, and moreover, Du Yuanguang was a favored disciple of Protector Xu, was practically inviting a devastating disaster upon the Washing Yan Ancient Sect!

"Disaster is imminent!" Protector Mo said helplessly, "Forget the assessment, let's return to the sect!" At this moment, the three of them were in the Nine Sacred Demon Gate, which was like being in a tiger's den!

The three of them were simply no match for a behemoth like the Nine Sacred Demon Gate. Now, Protector Mo had only one thought: escape! Escape from the Nine Sacred Demon Gate and return to the Washing Yan Ancient Sect.

"This is just a minor matter, why the need to flee." However, Li Qiye, the person involved, was as calm as ever, reclining on the master chair with a certain air of authority. He said slowly, "In my opinion, there's no place safer than the Nine Sacred Demon Gate."

Protector Mo glared fiercely at Li Qiye. Li Qiye's arrogance made him want to slap him several times, but with disaster looming, he didn't have the interest or mood to discipline Li Qiye!

"You know nothing!" Even the usually taciturn Protector Mo couldn't help but curse, "Do you think you're invincible just because you luckily killed Du Yuanguang! You still don't know the power of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate! Let alone their Elders and Demon Emperors, even one of their Protectors is enough to contend with the six Grand Elders of our Nine Sacred Demon Gate! The Nine Sacred Demon Gate could kill us more easily than crushing an ant!"

Protector Mo's words were the truth. The six Grand Elders of the Washing Yan Ancient Sect, if placed in the Upper Kingdoms, would only be considered influential figures. However, the Hall Masters of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate already possessed the strength to be influential figures, let alone their Elders. As for the Demon Emperors of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate, they had created astonishing miracles in the past thirty thousand years! Legend had it that the Sun-Wheel Demon Emperor of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate was unfathomably powerful!

"Protector Mo need not worry." Li Qiye said calmly, "It's just the Nine Sacred Demon Gate. If we were outside, I might be a little apprehensive, but within the Nine Sacred Demon Gate, it depends on who crushes whom! What are mere lords and nobles worth!"

Li Qiye's boastful words made Protector Mo tremble with anger. Their Washing Yan Ancient Sect's six Grand Elders could only be considered influential figures, yet he, a disciple who had just joined and knew nothing of Daoist magic, dared to say that lords and nobles were not worth mentioning.

"You—" Protector Mo truly wanted to slap this arrogant and ignorant fellow.

However, at that moment, a commotion arose from outside! Nan Huairen's face changed in alarm, and he rushed out to see what was happening. But he quickly rushed back, his face ashen, and exclaimed, "Not good, our small courtyard has been sealed off by disciples of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate!"

Protector Mo's face changed drastically, and he stood up abruptly. Just then, several people walked in from outside. Leading them was Hall Master Fu, and at this moment, Hall Master Fu's expression was extremely grim.

"Brother Fu, there seems to be a misunderstanding between our two sects!" Seeing Hall Master Fu enter with a cold face, Protector Mo knew there was no escape. He took a deep breath and braced himself to meet him.

"A misunderstanding? If it's a misunderstanding, then go talk to our junior disciple Xu!" Hall Master Fu snorted coldly, stepping aside. A young man stood beside him.

This young man wore golden robes, his blood essence surged, and a golden light faintly emanated from behind his head. The youth appeared to be only about twenty years old, but he already possessed an astonishing aura.

Upon seeing this young man, Protector Mo couldn't help but inwardly stiffen. This young man was likely at the True Fate realm! To reach such a realm at such a young age was truly remarkable. He himself had spent fifty to sixty years to reach such a realm back then!

"This is the eldest disciple of Protector Xu, junior disciple Xu Hui! Du Yuanguang was about to become a disciple of Protector Xu, and now he has died tragically. Junior disciple Xu seeks justice!" Hall Master Fu said coldly.

As Xu Hui stepped forward, his pupils emanated golden light, and his entire presence was imposing, like a drawn divine sword. His entire being exuded a fierce aura, as if he were about to devour someone.

Xu Hui was indeed much stronger than Du Yuanguang. Although Xu Hui couldn't be considered a peerless genius within the Nine Sacred Demon Gate, he was still a disciple with considerable achievements, capable of handling matters independently!

"A life for a life, blood debt must be paid in blood. There's nothing more to say!" Xu Hui said grimly, his gaze like that of a ferocious beast, locking onto Li Qiye as if he were about to tear him to shreds.

Protector Mo quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Fellow Daoist Xu, there's been a misunderstanding. My sect's disciple did not intentionally kill young nephew Du; it was an accident."

"A life for a life!" Xu Hui said sternly, "There's nothing to discuss. Your Washing Yan Ancient Sect must immediately hand over the culprit, lest you make a mistake. Otherwise, your Washing Yan Ancient Sect is seeking its own demise, and beware of inviting the disaster of annihilation!"

Xu Hui was merely a third-generation disciple. Protector Mo was at least on the same level as Hall Master Fu, and in terms of position, he was even on par with his master, Protector Xu. A third-generation disciple daring to be so aggressive.

More importantly, as a Protector, Protector Mo naturally could not hand over his sect's disciples to be slaughtered! Therefore, Protector Mo's expression changed, and he said solemnly, "Junior disciple Xu, right and wrong should be judged fairly!"

"Judgment?" Xu Hui's expression turned cold, and he smiled grimly, "In my Nine Sacred Demon Gate, there is no judgment! Those who kill disciples of my Nine Sacred Demon Gate can only atone with their death!"

"No wonder—" At this moment, Li Qiye slowly stood up, composed and leisurely. He walked out, glanced at Xu Hui, and said, "No wonder the Nine Sacred Demon Gate is so corrupt; it turns out it's full of idiots like you!"

Li Qiye's words instantly rendered Nan Huairen and Protector Mo speechless. Nan Huairen inwardly wailed, Ancestor, saying a few less words wouldn't kill you! Pointing at Xu Hui and calling him an idiot, isn't that adding fuel to the fire?

"With those words alone, you deserve to die a thousand times!" Xu Hui's anger erupted, his killing intent surging like a tidal wave. Before he even finished speaking, a large hand reached out to grab Li Qiye!

As a Protector of the Washing Yan Ancient Sect, Protector Mo naturally couldn't let Xu Hui succeed. He stepped forward, blocking Xu Hui's hand with his own.

"Protector Mo, if you insist on making a mistake!" At this moment, Hall Master Fu, who was standing by, said coldly. Light surged around him, and he took a step forward, blocking Protector Mo. His terrifying aura made Protector Mo somewhat breathless.

Protector Mo's face changed drastically. Hall Master Fu's strength was enough to be considered influential, far stronger than him. Unless an Elder arrived, no one from their Washing Yan Ancient Sect could match him! However, at this moment, Protector Mo had no choice but to retreat.

"Hall Master Fu, is this how your Nine Sacred Demon Gate treats guests?" Protector Mo couldn't back down! No matter what kind of person Protector Mo was, at least, in the face of enemies, he was absolutely protective of his own!

Hall Master Fu said grimly, "If Protector Mo hands over the culprit, he will still be a distinguished guest of our Nine Sacred Demon Gate! If Protector Mo believes that your Washing Yan Ancient Sect can contend with our Nine Sacred Demon Gate and continues to harbor the culprit, I fear it will not only be Protector Mo himself who cannot protect himself, but it might also bring the disaster of annihilation upon your Washing Yan Ancient Sect!"

"Disaster of annihilation?" At this moment, Li Qiye, who had been ignored, chuckled lightly. "The Nine Sacred Demon Gate thinks too highly of itself. If anyone is to be annihilated, it will be your Nine Sacred Demon Gate!"

Protector Mo and Nan Huairen both glared fiercely at Li Qiye. With the threat of death right before them, he was still spouting wild words.
