“You’re seeking death!”
Young Master Xu could not contain the fury in his heart and burst out in rage. When had he ever been subjected to such humiliation? His cultivation technique involuntarily activated, and the formidable pressure swept over everything.
It made it difficult for everyone to breathe.

Li Xiaobai’s face showed disdain as he pointed at the two people hiding behind Young Master Xu and said, “So weak, yet pretending to be tough. You two, tell him loudly, who is seeking death?”
Xia Jian and Wang Ruoxian’s expressions turned ugly. They remembered the scene when Li Xiaobai had overwhelmingly crushed an evil cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage, and they couldn’t help but shudder.
“Senior Brother Xu, this person has an extremely powerful magic treasure, incredibly potent. You must be careful!”
“Oh, an incredibly potent magic treasure?” As soon as Senior Brother Xu heard this, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Li Xiaobai, “Sever one of your arms, hand over your treasure, and I’ll spare your life. Although private fights are forbidden within the sect, the death of a mere probationary disciple will likely not be pursued.”
“Liangchen dislikes pointless chatter. If you think you are capable of playing with Liangchen, then Liangchen wouldn’t mind having some fun with you!”
Li Xiaobai beckoned with a hook of his finger, and his animosity immediately reached its peak.
Senior Brother Xu ignored the advice from Xia Jian and Wang Ruoxian, and with a palm strike from mid-air, spiritual energy fluctuated and dispersed, a fierce gale blew, and rushed towards Li Xiaobai.
Li Xiaobai still had his hands behind his back, showing no intention to defend himself, and allowed Senior Brother Xu’s strike to hit him squarely in the chest.
Dust flew around the arena, and Senior Brother Xu’s hands turned into a giant imprint of black and purple on Li Xiaobai’s chest, his face full of confidence.
“These days, every Tom, Dick, and Harry dares to be arrogant in front of me.”
Senior Brother Xu withdrew his hand, his expression one of casual mockery as he assumed his attack had been all but impossible to defend against. In his view, Li Xiaobai was nothing but a braggart who talked big. Having taken his strike, by now, he must be dead through and through.
Li Xiaobai’s face bore an odd expression as he stared at the system panel in front of him.

This was too weak, it felt even weaker than Xia Jian and Wang Ruoxian.
“Are you finished?” asked Li Xiaobai.
“You… You’re not dead!” Senior Brother Xu’s face changed dramatically, and Li Xiaobai stood unharmed before him, showing no sign of injury.
“Not only did Liangchen not die from Senior Brother Xu’s attack, but Liangchen also wants to laugh,” said Li Xiaobai.
The other cultivator was just an average one at the Golden Core Stage. For cultivators at that level, he no longer paid them any attention.
“Divine Handprint!”
Senior Brother Xu’s heart sank with shock, his expression turned ruthless, and he exerted more force, a golden palm broke through and struck at Li Xiaobai. This time he used his full strength, and all the cultivators present felt the power of this palm. A major sect’s cultivation technique was indeed terrifying.
Li Xiaobai slightly extended his hand and grasped the incoming golden palm.
Reflect activated, and with a “snap,” everyone clearly saw Senior Brother Xu’s hand twist at an unbelievable angle, from the fingers to the wrist, each inch fracturing.
“Ah!” A wail like that of a slaughtering pig rang out, and Senior Brother Xu fell to the ground, rolling in agony.
Xia Jian and Wang Ruoxian hurriedly came forward to offer Elixirs to stabilize his injuries.
“You’re dead, how dare you hurt me, you will have no place in Holy Demon Sect!”
“My elder brother is Inner Sect Disciple Xu Kun, he will not let you off!” Senior Brother Xu’s face twisted.
“Senior Brother Xu, go heal your wounds first. Brother Xu Kun will decide what to do about this matter,” they said.
Xia Jian and Wang Ruoxian helped Senior Brother Xu up, both of their eyes flashing with disdain. Senior Brother Xu’s cultivation level was mediocre; the only reason they fawned over him was that his elder brother, Xu Kun, was a standout amongst the Inner Sect Disciples and was rumored to have the potential to be chosen as a True Disciple.
As for this Senior Brother Xu, he was nothing but a good-for-nothing who relied on others for his power.
The crowd parted ways, sending off the three people with eyes full of satisfaction. Senior Brother Xu’s monthly extortion of their resources had become the norm, and that he received a lesson from Brother Ruthless today was indeed a cause for celebration.
“Thank you for your help, big boss!”
“Brother Ruthless is so domineering. If it weren’t for you, even though we’d joined the Holy Demon Sect, we’d probably be at others’ mercy.”
“Indeed, who would have thought that even a great sect like the Holy Demon Sect would have such scum!”
The cultivators chatted amongst themselves as Li Xiaobai passed a bottle of Healing Pills to Li Ya.
“Brother Ye, this act may not be appropriate. The brother of that Senior Brother Xu is a genuine Inner Sect Disciple with a cultivation level of a Half-Step Nascent Soul Realm, equivalent to that of a True Disciple. He is not someone we can afford to provoke!”
Yuan Fang approached, his face full of worry. They were just menial disciples, their cultivation levels mostly stuck in the Qi Cultivation Stage and the Foundation Establishment Stage, unable to compete with such an adversary.
If that Xu Kun wished to avenge his younger brother, they would not be able to handle the repercussions.
“You needn’t worry. Such oppression of menial disciples, Liangchen will surely settle it for you!”
Li Xiaobai spoke, noting that all the menial disciples wore a look of worry and fear. The failure to hand over the Spirit Stone to the Outer Sect Disciples only made them more anxious.
These lower-ranking disciples had already developed a slave mentality. No matter what one said, they wouldn’t listen. The only way to change their perspective was to take action.
“That’s right, you don’t have to worry. Brother Ruthless is very strong. He took all of us flying alone that day and can surely handle this!”
“Indeed, Boss Ye’s cultivation level is very high. Even those in the Nascent Soul Stage are no match for him.”
The surrounding cultivators were dissatisfied with the menial disciples’ fearful reaction. Clearly, they had helped them out of a bind, yet they still looked terrified. This was a clear sign of disrespect towards Li Xiaobai.
“Then we’ll have to trouble Brother Ye.”
With things having reached this point, Yuan Fang had no choice but to put his hopes on Li Xiaobai. They truly were unable to bear the wrath of Xu Kun.
…
At the same time, within a cavern in the Holy Demon Peak, a man and a woman were having a pleasant conversation, seemingly having come to some sort of agreement.
Xia Jian and Wang Ruoxian brought in the injured Xu Kun.
“Big brother, you must stand up for me!” Young Master Xu wept bitterly.
“What happened? Who dared to harm you like this?”
Xu Kun’s expression darkened suddenly as he hastened forward to check on him. When he saw that his younger brother’s hand was brutally twisted, he instantly became furious.
“Brother Xu, calm your anger. Qin Lan here has a bottle of Black Jade Reconnecting Ointment, capable of mending flesh and bones, and healing Young Master Xu’s injuries will not be an issue,” the female cultivator said, producing a bottle of elixir for Senior Brother Xu to consume.
The wails within the cavern lessened significantly, and Xu Kun breathed a sigh of relief, “Thank you, Immortal Qin, for your assistance. Truly, coming from the Central Province, your methods are exceptional.”
“You flatter me, Brother Xu,” Qin Lan said with a covered laugh.
“Tell me, who is responsible for my brother’s miserable state?” Xu Kun demanded.
Xia Jian and Wang Ruoxian tensed up and promptly recounted the incident in full detail.
“Ye Liangchen…”
Xu Kun pondered, having no recollection of this person: “You two have done well in bringing my brother back. This is a favor, and I will support you in the upcoming competition.”
The two faces lit up with joy: “Thank you, Senior Brother Xu!”
