Giving In

The impact of that punch was so great that the fighting throughout the Qingwang Sect's mountain gate temporarily ceased, and many cultivators, for the sake of caution, began to look in the direction of Lu Bai.

The most excited of all were, of course, the disciples of the Qingwang Sect.

Many of them knew Lu Bai; even if they hadn't seen him in person, they had all heard of this novice genius.

Not to mention that the calamity that Qingwang Sect encountered was itself caused by Lu Bai, but the people of the Qingwang Sect knew the cause and effect and would not attribute the blame to Lu Bai.

Yuxu Zi, who had been knocked down earlier, was helped to his feet by Fairy Yuxia. Both of them were unsure of what to say or how to treat Lu Bai.

To be honest, they had never seen Lu Bai display such Divine Might at the Dao Commencement Assembly.

Even if they knew that Lu Bai might really be strong, the time had been too short. In their minds, Lu Bai was still that novice disciple who had only been in the sect for a few days.

Placing their hopes on such a disciple truly gave them a strong sense of unreality.

In the clouds.

"You are Lu Bai?" The Sect Master of the Taishi Sect silently increased his vigilance, his body radiating a hazy divine light to prevent Lu Bai from suddenly attacking him.

The reactions of the high-ranking officials of the various immortal sects in the clouds were all similar.

The leader of the Yuhuo Cult forcibly swallowed back his provocative words.

Nobody wants to be the first to stick their neck out.

Lu Bai's attack method was simply too bizarre in their eyes. Even the Grand Elder of the Golden Scale Holy Land was blasted away with a single punch, without any chance to react. They were even less likely to be affected.

"It's me." Lu Bai nodded with a smile.

His harmless appearance makes it hard to associate him with the person who just attacked him.

"It really is you."

The Sect Master the Taishi Sect glanced discreetly at the high-ranking members of the immortal sects behind him.

He knew in his heart that, regardless of the sect's status or his personal strength, in this situation, only he could step forward.

However, given the precedent set by the Grand Elder the Golden Scale Holy Land, he was reluctant to rashly engage in combat with Lu Bai.

He pondered for a moment, then feigned praise, saying, "I heard you've only been cultivating for two weeks, yet you've achieved such results; you truly are a prodigy."

Unexpectedly, Lu Bai seemed not to have heard him at all, and continued, "Since everyone is here, it saves me the trouble of going to each of you individually. How about this, everyone pack up and from now on, you'll all follow my instructions."

He paused, his smile widening. "I've finished speaking. Who agrees? Who disagrees?"

His gaze swept unabashedly over the high-ranking members of the immortal sects in front of him, as if encouraging someone to step forward so that he could establish his authority.

Such an arrogant attitude made the Sect Master the Taishi Sect look rather unpleasant. He was about to say something when his eyes suddenly flashed and he looked down.

Just like echoing his actions.

A sudden gust of wind swept away the dust and smoke on the ground.

The Grand Elder of the Golden Scale Holy Land slowly withdrew his right hand, which had been clenching a fist.

He stood in the center of the huge crater that had been smashed into the ground, looking up at Lu Bai in the air, his expression extremely gloomy.

The Golden Scale Evil Suppressing Art of the Golden Scale Holy Land is almost the strongest body-tempering technique in Xuanzhou. Grand Elder of the Golden Scale Holy Land, he naturally cultivated his family's prestigious technique to an extremely profound level.

With just this body forged from steel, he is enough to contend with cultivators at the Mahayana stage.

So although he was caught off guard and slammed to the ground by Lu Bai's punch, it was clear from his appearance that he was not seriously injured.

The Grand Elder of the Golden Scale Holy Land spoke with anger, enunciating each word clearly. "You brat, I truly underestimated you."

Lu Bai tilted his head slightly, glanced at the enraged Grand Elder, reverted to [Steel Body], and then activated [Flash Time].

Time seemed to stop flowing instantly. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Bai quickly arrived Grand Elder's head and clenched his fist, bringing it down.

It's worth mentioning that this Grand Elder possesses extremely high physical strength and is at the Mahayana stage of cultivation; normally, he should be able to withstand Lu Bai's attack.

Unfortunately, the effect of [Flash Time] is so unreasonable that it ensures that every attack by Lu Bai can achieve the efficiency of a sneak attack.

Boom!!!

As time resumed its flow, a deafening explosion resounded throughout the Qingwang Sect Mountain Gate.

The earth cracked, spreading out spiderweb-like fissures over a kilometer long. In the cracks of the earth, the Grand Elder coughed up blood, half of his body sinking into the soil.

"He... he's pinning the Grand Elder of the Golden Scale Holy Land to the ground and beating him?"

"When did he go there? Did any of you see him clearly?"

"It shouldn't be a trick, right?"

The high-ranking officials of the various immortal sects in the clouds were shocked and deeply disturbed.

At this moment, the Grand Elder's face was as gloomy as could be, but upon closer inspection, one might discover a barely perceptible hint of fear hidden within.

Having endured two attacks from Lu Bai, the Grand Elder realized that Lu Bai possessed the ability to kill him.

The attack methods are unpredictable and unresponsive, and combined with sufficiently high attack power, it is essentially unsolvable.

This Grand Elder of the Golden Scale Holy Land possessed a physical strength exceeding that of a normal Mahayana stage cultivator. Otherwise, an ordinary Mahayana stage cultivator would likely have had their physical body shattered, leaving only their Primordial Spirit.

Even though this Grand Elder still had the ability to retaliate, he was still considering retreating, at least not allowing himself to face a ruthless person like Lu Bai alone.

With this in mind, he decisively sent a telepathic message to the high-ranking members of the various immortal sects in the clouds, asking them to join forces with him to fight against Lu Bai.

In fact, Lu Bai's actions after his appearance were too forceful, which made many high-ranking members of the immortal sects uneasy. People like the leader of the Yuhuo Cult were even more eager to make a move.

Upon receiving the message from the Grand Elder, how could they possibly hold back? Immediately, three powerful cultivators simultaneously launched an attack.

Seeing this, the Grand Elder, whose body was half-buried in the ground, silently gathered his strength, preparing to launch a counterattack when Lu Bai was dealing with the others.

Unexpectedly, relying on his [Steel Body], Lu Bai completely ignored the three fierce Mana attacks. Instead, he raised his hand, clenched his fist, and once again slammed it heavily into the back of the Grand Elder's head.

Because the Mana he mobilized was so immense, when Lu Bai threw this punch, a faint but persistent Dao Patterns even lingered around his fist.

The Grand Elder's primordial Primordial Spirit was shaken by the punch, and while feeling humiliated, he inevitably developed a fear of death.

He knew that if Lu Bai continued to beat him like this, he would definitely die.

Even though he knew it was shameful, the Grand Elder forced a Smiling Face under the threat of death.

"Fellow Daoist Lü... how about we have a chat?"
