"They were not bandits at all... They were disciples of the Blood Spirit Sect! Righteous sect disciples!"
He placed particular emphasis on "righteous sect disciples," deliberately reminding Lin Yang.
"It was I who ordered them to slaughter everyone in Qingyang Town!"
Lin Yang flew into a rage, his eyes reddening as he glared at Ou Haochen. "Why did you do this? What good did it do you?"
"Why?"
Ou Haochen smiled mockingly. "Ants have no right to ask why!"
"If I want you dead, you die!"
"If I want you alive, even if you want to die, you cannot!"
"This is what strength brings. Frogs at the bottom of a well like you will never understand."
"Hahaha!"
Ou Haochen's words pierced Lin Yang's heart like needles, cruelly exposing reality.
Qingyang Town had been wiped out, and everyone in the Lin family had died, all because they had been weak.
When the strong raised their butcher's blades, they had been powerless to resist.
"It seems you have yet to experience ultimate despair!"
"Go seize the woman beside him. This young master will defile his woman before his very eyes until he kneels and begs for mercy!"
Ou Haochen said with a cold sneer.
A group of Blood Spirit Sect disciples disguised as bandits revealed lewd smiles and closed in on Lin Yang step by step.
At that moment.
Hua Yunfei appeared in the center of the field. His powerful aura instantly sent all the Blood Spirit Sect disciples rushing forward flying!
With a casual wave of his hand, every Blood Spirit Sect disciple disguised as a bandit, including the Violet Palace Realm bandit leader, turned to drifting ash, leaving no corpses behind!
"Who are you?"
Ou Haochen fixed Hua Yunfei with a wary stare. He had not even seen how this man had appeared.
Moreover, the strength this man displayed seemed exceptionally formidable!
"Young Master, this man is dangerous!"
Two elderly men in blood-red robes suddenly appeared and shielded Ou Haochen behind them.
They were elders of the Blood Spirit Sect, responsible for secretly protecting the young master's safety!
A Low-Grade Saint Talent was worth the Blood Spirit Sect paying any price for.
So long as he matured smoothly, forget the Sage Realm—just reaching the Approaching Dao Realm would bring unimaginable benefits to the Blood Spirit Sect.
Hua Yunfei looked at Ou Haochen, deeply disappointed and greatly regretful.
He had finally encountered someone with suitable talent, only to find rotten roots and utterly depraved character.
Such a person was unqualified to become his disciple.
Even less qualified to become a disciple of the Backer Sect!
Even if he possessed Top-Grade Saint Talent, it would make no difference.
"You two, come here."
Hua Yunfei beckoned to Lin Yang and Mu Qingqing.
"Senior."
Lin Yang hesitantly stepped forward. He sensed no ill intent from Hua Yunfei and felt that he could be trusted.
"Stand behind me. I will protect you."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yang and Mu Qingqing nearly wept tears of joy. They hurriedly said, "Thank you, Senior, for saving us. This junior will, in the future..."
Hua Yunfei waved his hand. "There is no need to thank me. It was merely a small effort."
If Lin Yang's talent had not been decent and Mu Qingqing's talent had not been passable, he likely would not have appeared at all.
"Senior."
Lin Yang said, "The other party is the Young Master of the Blood Spirit Sect, and the two before us may be sect elders. You..."
"The Blood Spirit Sect? Nothing more than an insignificant force."
Hua Yunfei stood with his hands behind his back, utterly unconcerned.
For such a third-rate sect, even his surface-level strength would be enough to handle them. He could wipe out swathes of them with a single breath; there was no need to take them seriously.
"What arrogance!"
Ou Haochen stepped past the two elders and stared coldly at Hua Yunfei. "You do not seem much older than me, yet your arrogance is even greater than mine!"
"I am this strong. Shouldn't I be arrogant?"
Hua Yunfei looked at Ou Haochen, the corner of his mouth lifting into a smile.
"You! I..."
Ou Haochen was left speechless by that single retort.
"Damn it!"
He had never seen anyone so shameless. Was there really someone who praised himself so openly?
"Sir, at your young age, it would be better for you to keep a low profile."
One of the elders spoke, cold light flashing in his eyes.
"This old man is an elder of the Blood Spirit Sect. If you leave now, this old man can pretend nothing happened. Otherwise, I fear you will find it difficult to end this matter well."
Hua Yunfei swept him with a cold glance.
Splat!
With just one look, the speaking elder exploded like a watermelon.
Chunks of flesh and blood splashed all over Ou Haochen and the other elder.
The two were dumbfounded.
Dead... dead?
The remaining elder's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly said:
"Senior... we had no intention of offending you... Please show mercy. We will leave at once... immediately!"
As he spoke, he grabbed Ou Haochen and tried to leave.
"Let go."
A Sage Remnant Soul resided within Ou Haochen, granting him immense courage. He was not afraid of Hua Yunfei at all.
He refused to believe this man could be stronger than a Sage Remnant Soul.
"Young Master! Do not make a mistake!"
The elder was nearly frantic with tears. He knew that if they did not leave now, they would never be able to leave!
Yet he could not abandon Ou Haochen and flee alone, or the Blood Spirit Sect would never spare him!
Hua Yunfei saw through what he was relying on and said with a disdainful smile, "A mere Sage Remnant Soul dares speak of courage?"
Ou Haochen was shocked. "How did you know..."
The anxious elder froze. A Sage Remnant Soul?
The entire Blood Spirit Sect had not known that Ou Haochen was concealing such an enormous secret!
He suddenly grew excited. The young master possessed Low-Grade Saint Talent, and with the aid of a Sage Remnant Soul, might he not lead the Blood Spirit Sect to the pinnacle of the Eastern Region in the future?
Without wasting words, Hua Yunfei flicked out a streak of light that landed on Ou Haochen. Instantly, Ou Haochen screamed, his face twisting in agony.
"Do not harm the Young Master!"
The elder shouted in panic. The aura of Violet Palace Realm perfection burst forth instantly as he gritted his teeth and lunged at Hua Yunfei.
With a splat, before he could even enter Hua Yunfei's vicinity, Hua Yunfei's aura crushed him into a heap of minced flesh. He died on the spot without making a sound!
"This senior truly was terrifying beyond measure!"
Lin Yang and Mu Qingqing were both stunned, their mouths slightly agape.
Two elders at Violet Palace Realm perfection—one had been glared to death, while the other had rammed into an aura and died!
Just how outrageously powerful did one have to be to accomplish that?
Lin Yang's breathing quickened as he stared fixedly at Hua Yunfei's back.
What he had always longed for was a powerful expert like this who could guide him!
Now, he had found one!
"Boy, why do you know of this Sage's existence?"
