Red Crane retreated several steps before steadying himself. His aged face flushed red, his white beard fluttered, and his eyes brimmed with fury.
"Zi Yue, Xue Ji, are you going to become the Tianli Sect's lapdogs?"
Zi Yue snorted coldly.
"Red Crane, leave the Nine Mandarin Duck Mountain some dignity! We risked our lives to win this battle. Why should we share anything with you? Just because you're old, we have to give way to you?"
"Hahaha, exactly! Where do you get the nerve to steal our spoils and still demand that I show you respect?"
Lieyan Heavenly Venerate laughed thunderously, drawing laughter from quite a few other Heavenly Venerates.
Red Crane and the others flushed crimson, the flames in their eyes threatening to blaze to life.
"Lie Yan, you're courting death! Who gave you the guts to mock the Nine Mandarin Duck Mountain?"
Red Crane did not want to provoke the Seven Star Sword Pavilion, but surely he could afford to provoke Lie Yan's Fire Cloud Sect? It was merely a first-rate sect. How could it compare with their super-first-rate sects? It had only one Void Glimpse Realm cultivator, yet it dared meddle in their affairs?
Red Crane's powerful will bore down on Lie Yan like Mount Tai crashing overhead.
The smile abruptly vanished from Lie Yan's face. He unleashed his Heavenly Venerate will to meet it. The two forces clashed, shaking the void. Lieyan Heavenly Venerate's long hair whipped about and his robes billowed as his body plunged a hundred meters before he barely managed to hold his ground, his face somewhat flushed.
Red Crane was at the second stage of Void Insight, while his opponent was a veteran expert at the peak of the third stage of Void Insight. The gap between their cultivation levels was enormous.
