Some cultivators inside the teahouse even declared:
"This Xu Taiping is just toying with us!"
Even Heavenly Lord Shihu, who had originally held considerable expectations for Xu Taiping, said with some disappointment, "Even if Xu Taiping has some grievances against Shangqing cultivators, he shouldn't toy with them like this."
Xiahou Qingyuan gave a cold snort and said:
"With a disposition like that, however gifted he might be, he certainly won't get far."

"Even if he shouts another thousand or ten thousand times, there won't be any-"
"Boom!"
Before Xiahou Qingyuan could say "response," a deafening explosion rang out from the Moonshadow
