Originally Wanted to Leave Quietly

"Right, Sparrow? When I met you, you were only this tall, barely reaching my butt." The young man Yuan Hong, smiled and casually placed his hand on the Yan Que's head.

Hong Teng, Cheng Tian, and the others' expressions changed. This guy was too arrogant! He dared to touch a man's head and slap him like that. Who did he think he was?!

Faced with such a disrespectful and unrestrained act of slapping his face and head, Yan Que initially tolerated it, but then suddenly erupted, slamming her body into the young man with a bang.

The Yan Que's right hand was grabbed, but its head swung, directly approaching the young man's face, intending to smash it open and make his face bleed.

Unfortunately, it was just a little short. This seemingly ordinary man, dressed casually with short blond hair, was no ordinary person. He turned slightly to the side, used his other hand to hold down Yan Que's head, and said coldly, "Sparrow, you've gotten a bit wild outside. What happened to the docile and obedient child you used to be?"

"What did you say?!" An Hong, Cheng Tian, Hong Teng all rushed over, ready to help Yan Que, this short-haired man from the Fusion with Dao Sect was exceptionally strong.

The main reason is that his cultivation level is quite high, almost reaching the late stage of True Immortal.

"What are you doing, trying to gang up on us? You guys are still green, you're far from skilled." Someone spoke up from behind, and four or five men approached, blocking An Hong and his group.

"This is quite a mess. We were getting along well when we met, but you've turned on each other so easily. You'll have no friends left." Liu Guang's senior brother, the short-haired golden youth, opened his Yan Que and said, "You've been away from home for so many years, living alone. If you hang out with bad people, you'll be led astray by your bad friends."

If Yan Que could control himself, but if it involved his friends being implicated and insulted, he would immediately show anger.

"Get lost, Yuan Hong! I've put up with you for too long. You're just relying on your age and higher cultivation level, aren't you? If you had to wait a few more years, I would have kicked you to death!"

As he spoke, he took out a talisman and slashed it directly at Yuan Hong. He didn't intend to let things end peacefully today. Since his cultivation was not as deep as Yuan Hong's, he would use the Divine Rule Paper.

Yuan Hong's expression changed slightly, and he reacted quickly. He also took out a talisman with regular patterns engraved on it, activated it directly, and said, "You've rebelled again. You timid little sparrow back then have gotten angry with me. As your senior brother, I have to teach you a lesson."

In an instant, the world turned white, the snowflakes danced upside down in the sky, and a thunderclap shook the winter air, with lightning flashing amidst the heavy snow.

In the distance, avalanches occurred directly on some mountain peaks, making a loud rumbling sound.

These are precious talismans capable of killing celestial beings. The two released one each, which collided in the snowy weather, tearing open the void with the rules of immortality.

But in the end, Zhang Shen paper shattered and burned to ashes.

This can be considered one of the trump cards in Yan Que's hand.

After all, he was not well-liked at home back then, and after leaving, he wandered alone, without any particularly impressive treasures on him.

"Everyone, this is a tranquil place. The beautiful scenery and the romantic atmosphere are meant to be appreciated, not destroyed. Please stop," Yan Xue advised. As one of the people in charge of this place, she was the last person who wanted to see this kind of thing happen.

"It's nothing, just a kid throwing a tantrum. I'll manage him." Yuan Hong waved his hand, his short golden hair gleaming brightly.

Runes also lit up on his casual clothes, making him look like a modern young man. But in an instant, he became dazzling and awe-inspiring, his entire body radiating golden light, as if he were wearing divine armor, exuding immense power.

He was a being who had broken through limits more than once, and with his own progress approaching the late stage of True Immortal, he was undoubtedly equivalent to a Heavenly Grade Expert at this moment.

Yuan Hong's disrespectful attitude and manner were unbearable for Yan Que, and also angered Qi Miao, An Hong, Cheng Tian, and others, who stepped forward together.

Wang Xuan also felt that Yuan Hong was bullying him too much, taking advantage of his high level of cultivation to bully Yan Que, and treating him like the cowardly boy he used to be.

"They want to ride on the backs of Yan Que and kill them!" Hong Teng said coldly, as the hazy figure of a huge black ferocious bird appeared behind him, opening its icy eyes.

"Senior brother, what are you doing? Stop." Liu Guang spoke, her face showing displeasure. Standing in the wind and snow, her long silver hair fluttered, her long dress billowed, and she looked radiant and ethereal.

"Oh, haha, it's nothing. I just saw how disrespected you were by them. Back then, he was just a little follower, a nobody. Today, he dares to speak coldly to you, and he even dares to talk rudely to me. I wanted to teach him a lesson."

Yuan Hong said, but he still concealed his aura, and the golden runes gushing from his pores disappeared, and he returned to his smiling face.

He ignored Yan Que and walked up to Liu Guang, saying warmly, "Junior Sister, it's been a long time. How are you? Master misses you. You should go back and visit him."

"It's disgusting. He's trying to pry open the already crumbling corner of Yan Que." A look of disgust appeared on Hong Teng's dark face. He was unyielding and tough, regardless of the time or place, and he would expose the hypocritical pretense of those he disliked.

Yuan Hong turned his head to look at him; the dark-faced youth's words were really unpleasant to hear.

Liu Guang was young and beautiful, but now her face has darkened. What kind of nonsense was that? It's one thing to say she was trying to steal someone else's partner, but why add so much more?

The Yan Que was also hurt.

"Hey kid, shut up if you can't speak properly." Yuan Hong glanced over indifferently, then smiled and said, "Junior Sister, come with me later. There's a great opportunity waiting for us, and we'll meet a very powerful friend on the road ahead."

"That son of a bitch, one minute he's all cold, the next he's all smiles, he's playing favorites," Hong Teng said.

"This is a Great Tengu," Qi Miao said directly.

"You misspoke, Tian Gou," Cai Wei corrected.

"Do you all think I have a good temper?" Yuan Hong turned around, revealing a faint chill.

Behind him, the others also darkened their faces. These few late-stage True Immortals, whose cultivation levels were lower than theirs, dared to be so unscrupulous; they were far too bold.

These people are about to make their move here.

But Yuan Hong waved his hand at them, secretly telling them that such petty squabbles were meaningless. In this immortal city, a famous place of romance and pleasure, any fighting and killing would inevitably be stopped.

"I'll treat you. Sit down and let bygones be bygones with a drink. Don't act like a brat who can't take a provocation." Yuan Hong changed his attitude and called Yan Xue over, asking him to prepare some fine wine and a palace, as the stone pavilion couldn't accommodate many people.

Some of his companions secretly teased him, saying that his temper had improved.

Yuan Hong responded telepathically, saying that since the purpose of this trip was to seek good fortune, they should try not to make too much noise along the way. On the way back, they should deal with the swallows and Yan Que, and those that needed to be bloodied should be bloodied, and those that needed to be crippled should be crippled.

Then he shook his head and said, "Alas, it's a pity I can't kill him. Sparrow wasn't well-liked by his family back then, but now it seems this kid is different. I can't bring myself to kill him; at most, I can only break his leg bone to the side."

However, neither Yan Que nor Qi Miao and An Hong showed any respect to Yuan Hong and his group. They were about to leave, unwilling to drink with them because they had no connection with them!

Yuan Hong waved his hand, stopping his angry companion. He didn't care about face here, and he didn't want to force the issue. He would teach those young punks a lesson after he finished his business.

"Yan Que, wait a moment." Liu Guang spoke, secretly transmitting her voice to him, clearly telling him that she wanted to talk to "Qin Cheng" because she seriously doubted his identity.

Liu Guang said, "If you refuse, I will just tell you my guess. He is Four-time Limit Breaker has killed many people. Actually, I have no ill intentions. I just want to talk to him and ask him what his relationship is with the Nine Nether Black Crow who goes by the alias Wu Tian."

Yan Que looked displeased and warned inwardly, "That's Qin Cheng. You're asking for trouble by going to find that legendary Black Crow. Don't drag my friend into it!"

"My intuition tells me that he is the Four-time Limit Breaker severely injured me and killed Nian Mo, and he is also the one who is with Wu Tian. I have no hostility towards him. I really just want to find Nine Nether Black Crow through him. If you don't agree, I will call for help immediately."

Liu Guang, with waist-length silver hair, looked exceptionally beautiful, but now she had the air of a rogue, about to extort money from people.

Staying would be tantamount to acknowledging Wang Xuan's identity, so Yan Que naturally didn't want to give in and quickly told Wang Xuan the details.

Wang Xuan frowned and replied in secret, "Stay and have a couple of drinks. You immediately prepare to exchange for 'Nine Transformations of Ascension' and 'Primordial Spirit Atlas' for me. I'll leave today."

Each member of the group had their own thoughts as they entered a palace in the ice field. Through the open doors and windows, they admired the beautiful scenery created by the various hardy plants and the wind and snow on the ice field.

"Junior Sister, why are you so enthusiastic towards Qin Cheng? Is there something you need?" Yuan Hong asked, as he knew Liu Guang somewhat.

Liu Guang didn't want to tell him, but the matter was of great importance, so she hesitated for a moment and finally mentioned it secretly, saying it was related to the Nine Nether Black Crow.

Yuan Hong shuddered and said, "What? It actually involves that ferocious beast that stole the treasures of my Fusion with Dao Sect? There's news about it! We must take this extremely seriously."

He became serious and said, "Whether it's Wu Tian or Nine Nether Black Crow, they could both be identities used by the evil spirit. No one can say for sure what its true Roots are. We absolutely cannot be careless about anyone connected to it right now. I also want to get involved in this matter."

"Don't do anything rash. I just want to get to know you first." Liu Guang emphasized.

"What kind of recklessness is this? I'm on high alert. Originally, I was going to join forces with some friends to steal the Kunpeng Nest, obtain its immortal egg to replenish my Dao source, and further break through my limits. In a moment, I'll have to reluctantly use the Great Killer Weapon and array diagrams I've prepared to prevent this person from escaping. Let me tell you, anyone connected to that ferocious creature must be treated with extreme caution and vigilance. The matter is very serious."

Wang Xuan did not overhear their conversation. The spiritual secrets of the Fusion with Dao Sect were remarkable; when fellow disciples used this method to communicate, they could prevent outsiders from eavesdropping.

But Wang Xuan also sensed that Yuan Hong harbored ill intentions towards him; his divine sense was extremely sharp.

Wang Xuan thought to himself, "What kind of nonsense is this? Why does this Great Tengu bite whoever it catches? It's not like it's Yan Que, and it really has nothing to do with Liu Guang."

He was unaware that the root of the problem lay with Wu Tian, who had used the identity of the Nine Nether Black Crow to commit many major crimes that shook the cosmos.

"Brother, you don't need to act like a possessive dog..." Wang Xuan wanted to have a frank talk when Yuan Hong came over with a smile to clink glasses with him, instead of just making empty threats!

Beside her, Cai Wei let out a scream, her face flushed with anger, and splashed the wine in her jade cup directly onto the face of one of Yuan Hong's friends.

"Can't you take a joke?" The man wiped the wine from his face, revealing a cold expression.

"Cai Wei, what's wrong?" Qi Miao asked.

"He flirted with me and spread rumors that he wanted to drink a toast with me," Cai Wei said angrily, then said coldly, "You can't leave the Pingtian Star Domain. Don't think that just because you're associated with the Fusion with Dao Sect, you can act lawlessly."

"What?"

"That's outrageous!"

Yan Que was the first, Qi Miao was the second, and Hong Teng was the third. They all acted at the same time, smearing the stool, wine pot, and tabletop next to them onto the person's head and face to vent their anger for Cai Wei.

Suddenly, a fight broke out. An Hong and Cheng Tian were taken aback, but immediately grabbed their weapons and attacked. Broadswords and gleaming silver spears flew out.

Wang Xuan sighed. He had originally wanted to leave quietly, but what was going on? At this critical moment, he wouldn't watch the people around him rush forward while he retreated.

He reacted with lightning speed, slapping Yuan Hong across the head. Although he had already restrained his strength, not wanting to kill a disciple of the Fusion with Dao Sect in public and cause a huge mess.

But his strength was still terrifying. For someone at the True Immortal Level, those few fingers falling were no less than being hit by a few Wolf Tooth Club.

With a bang, Yuan Hong's skull jumped up, ripped open by tremendous force, and his top bone shattered into pieces, with grayish-white liquid dripping out.

Yuan Hong looked down at the substance that had fallen into the wine glass, somewhat stunned, then overwhelmed by excruciating pain. He hadn't even made a move yet, and he'd already been shot in the head? That's incredibly ruthless!

Wang Xuan saw a fierce glint in his eyes and runes intertwining on his body. Before he could retaliate, Wang Xuan decisively pressed him down again. With a soft "poof, "Yuan Hong's chest was exposed, his bones and flesh torn apart like tattered paper, and his heart burst open like a ripe, bright red tomato.

Liu Guang was shocked. Why did the two sides suddenly make their move?

Then she saw Wang Xuan's hand touch the top of her head, and she couldn't dodge it, no matter how she changed position.

With a bang, although she possessed stunning beauty, her face was now contorted with pain. She had also experienced the misfortune of being "lifted from her shell," her skull tracing a graceful arc as it leaped away.
