Thunder Spirit Pearl

"Are you trying to blackmail me?"

Pang Youdao felt as if he had swallowed a fly, and his face changed from dark to light.

He, the Great Elder of the Outer Sect, was actually extorted by a greenhorn who had only been in the sect for two days. If this got out, how could he ever face anyone again?

Should I even continue living in this world?

"Hehe, Great Elder, you're not quite right about that. How can you call it extortion? This is compensation for emotional distress!"

"Look, you've made me cough up blood."

Hua Qiang raised his hand and wiped his mouth, but there was nothing there. Yet, without changing his expression, he stretched out his palm.

"Look, there's blood here!"

"You bastard, do you think I'm blind? Where's the blood on your lips?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, look at this old man, so old, why is he so hot-tempered?"

"As the Great Elder, every word you say represents the outward image of our sect. You must be mindful of your manners. Only a young person like me could utter such insults as calling you a bastard."

"You..."

Pang Youdao felt that if he continued talking to Hua Qiang, he would be driven to his death by anger.

Hidden in the clouds, Huo Cangliang smiled slightly, a gentle expression on his face.

Interesting!

This is the first time since the sect was founded that a mere young upstart has managed to extort money from that old scoundrel Pang Youdao.

Seeing Pang Youdao's expression of utter disgust, especially his face which was blacker than the bottom of a pot, he couldn't help but laugh.

Despite being a sect leader, this old man, relying on his uncle being Sect Grand Elder, sometimes doesn't give him much face.

There was nothing he could do about it; after all, you have to consider the person before you beat them, and the Supreme Elder had made tremendous contributions to the sect.

His concessions and tolerance emboldened Pang Youdao, that old scoundrel, to become even more arrogant and domineering, even to the point of being disrespectful to others.

If that old man hadn't been unable to beat me, he probably would have gone even further.

Who is this Outer Sect Disciple?

Huo Cangliang couldn't help but become interested in him. He would investigate in a while and make sure the sect would focus on cultivating him.

After all, this kid is so young, and he's already at the third level of the Saint Realm. He's actually comprehended three laws. This can't be described as just a genius. This person is a monster, a monster among monsters!

Once he improves his cultivation level and grows stronger, he will definitely become a powerful and influential figure in the region!

What do you want?

Pang Youdao decided to back down. It seemed that if he didn't bleed a little today, things would be difficult to resolve. Otherwise, if a fight broke out again, he might lose face.

Even if you can't beat him, you can run away. But after that, he will never be able to hold his head up again. His reputation in the entire outer sect will be ruined. How will he manage the outer sect then?

Its accumulated prestige will vanish.

"Old man, don't try to fool me with some junk. Those rare and precious herbs must be top-grade."

"Most young masters wouldn't even look at such things, like Top-grade Spirit Crystal, but this young master can barely accept them!"

"Snort!"

Pang Youdao snorted coldly and said, "I am not that petty."

After thinking for a moment, he conjured an ancient-looking box in his hand and threw it at Hua Qiang.

"Here is a Thunder Spirit Pearl, which I bought at a high price. I'm giving it to you as compensation for what I did to you this time!"

"Kid, don't push your luck!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and swept up Pang Wubei and the dozen or so disciples lying on the ground, then disappeared without a trace.

"That old scoundrel, he's quick on his feet."

Hua Qiang took the box and muttered something under his breath.

To be honest, if they really fought, it's hard to say who would win or lose.

Don't be fooled by his use of the power of laws; it actually depletes his energy. He was exhausted from the battle just now.

He's already gotten a huge advantage by getting the other party to admit defeat and make compensation.

Upon opening the wooden box, Hua Qiang was immediately delighted to find a bead inside that seemed to shimmer with lightning-like energy.

"Hahaha, interesting, interesting!" Huo Cangliang stepped lightly into a pavilion with carved beams and painted rafters.

At this moment, a beautiful woman was sitting leisurely on a stone bench in the pavilion. She was wearing a moon-white silk dress with delicate silver thread patterns embroidered on the hem, like swirling clouds. Her long black hair was loosely tied up, with a few strands falling down to her fair neck, adding to her gentle and graceful appearance.

He was gazing intently at a few delicate, vibrant flowers not far away.

Huo Cangliang stepped forward and sat down next to the beautiful woman, smiling broadly as he said, "My lady, you seem to be enjoying the flowers again!"

"Let me tell you, I met an interesting person today."

The beautiful woman looked up at the sound, her eyes like shimmering autumn water, a faint smile playing on her lips.

She parted her lips slightly and said, "Really? Tell me about it, so I can have a good laugh too."

"Hahaha!"

Huo Cangliang slapped his thigh, his eyebrows dancing with excitement.

"Today, that old scoundrel Pang Youdao, who usually relies on his little bit of cultivation, always likes to bully the weak and act arrogantly."

Today we ran into a tough nut to crack, we kicked a hornet's nest, and they turned the tables and extorted us!

As he spoke, he gestured exaggeratedly.

"That old scoundrel's face turned a deep blue-purple, looking even worse than if he'd eaten shit!"

Finally, they had to offer a precious item as compensation to temporarily settle the matter. Isn't that interesting?

The beautiful woman was taken aback at first, then a smile flashed in her eyes.

"It's a miracle that Pang Youdao was extorted. He's been arrogant and reckless all his time, and after walking the dark path for so long, he's finally met his match!"

I wonder who has the ability to make him suffer?

"Hahaha, my wife, Xiang Qi was right there at the time and heard it all clearly."

That kid's only been in the sect for two days, a complete greenhorn among the outer disciples!

Huo Cangliang shook his head, his face full of disbelief.

The beautiful woman suddenly stood up, almost dropping the silk handkerchief in her hand, and exclaimed in surprise, "What? He's only been in the sect for two days and is still Outer Sect Disciple? This... that person wouldn't be called Hua Qiang, would he?"

Huo Cangliang's eyes widened instantly, as if he had seen something rare, and he stared straight at the beautiful woman, asking, "My lady, how do you know this person's name?"
