"Don't spout nonsense!"
Qi Liu was visibly startled and turned toward a handsome young man with some apprehension.
It was none other than Liu Yan, the eighth-ranked outer disciple—a Meridian Opening Realm powerhouse on the verge of stepping into the extraordinary.
"Hiss..."
"He called Senior Brother Liu by name? Is he courting death?"
"Damn, I'd heard Lin Xuan was arrogant before, but I never expected him to be this arrogant. A mere servant... what gives him the right?"
At this moment, cries of shock were already spreading through the Mission Pavilion.
Lin Xuan followed everyone's gazes and looked toward Liu Yan as well.
Could this be Liu Yan?
The thought had barely risen in his mind when Liu Yan strode toward him.
Everyone voluntarily parted, clearing a path for him to reach Lin Xuan directly.
"Interesting. A mere servant dares to disrespect me."
Blood and vitality surged around Liu Yan, and even the faint trace of aura leaking from him made the outer disciples feel heavily oppressed.
Facing that wisp of aura head-on, Lin Xuan was inwardly startled as well.
The Meridian Opening Realm was actually this powerful.
He felt that if Liu Yan attacked, he might not even have the strength to resist.
Even if he instantly entered the Heaven's Wrath state, it would not be enough.
On the path of cultivation, each step truly led to a whole new heaven. The gap was plain to see.
Of course, Lin Xuan was not flustered in the slightest. With a thought, the Sword Talisman suddenly appeared in his hand.
He guaranteed that if Liu Yan dared make a move, he would not hesitate to unleash Luo Tongtian's Sword Talisman and slaughter this bastard.
At a time like this, there was no need to care whether it was being wasted.
