domineering

Xuantian Dao Sect’s Outer Academy had a massive Training Ground, nearly a hundred miles in circumference, with a Combat Arena in its center.

The entire arena was a thousand zhang square, cast entirely from steel, making it exceptionally sturdy. It was usually used by Disciples for sparring.

When Long Chen was pulled here by that Heaven and Earth Society Disciple, all the Disciples and Elders of the Xuantian Outer Academy had already arrived.

The people from the Xuantian Outer Academy gathered on the east side of the arena, while on the west side, over a hundred unfamiliar faces appeared.

The leader was a young woman in her thirties, with willow-leaf eyebrows and sparkling eyes. She could barely be considered good-looking.

However, her cheekbones were slightly high, her chin sharp, and her lips very thin, giving her a very sharp and mean appearance. Such a person would be very difficult to get along with.

But even though the woman wasn't particularly attractive, as she stood there, the surrounding space continuously fluctuated, emitting a strange energy, as if it wanted to merge with the heavens and earth.

“Innate Realm!”

Long Chen was startled. This was the first time Long Chen had seen another Innate Realm expert besides Ling Yunzi.

However, unlike Ling Yunzi, who didn't exude any fiery temperament, the woman's Aura continuously spread outwards. Those around her kept their distance, clearly unable to withstand her energy.

Long Chen estimated that this woman had just Broken through to the Innate Realm and couldn't fully control her energy like Ling Yunzi, causing her Aura to leak.

Behind the woman, over a hundred young Disciples looked at the Disciples on the Outer Academy's side with mocking expressions, their eyes full of disdain.

What shocked Long Chen was that among those Disciples, there were actually over thirty Core Disciples, whose Auras were extremely powerful.

If it were just that, Long Chen wouldn't have been too surprised. What surprised Long Chen the most was that among those Core Disciples, four of them had distinctly different Auras.

Standing there, they were like cranes among chickens; their Auras were clearly different from the others.

That kind of Aura was very strange, but Long Chen had once sensed it on Evil Path experts, and now Tang Waner also had this strange Aura.

“Dao Manifestor!”

This startled Long Chen. Four Dao Manifestors appeared at the same time. Who exactly were these people?

Currently, all the Disciples on the Xuantian Outer Academy's side were focused on the people in front, completely unaware of Long Chen's arrival behind them.

Long Chen told that Disciple not to speak, and the two secretly blended into the back of the crowd, observing everything in front.

“Senior Luo, your Thirty-Sixth Outer Academy has arrived at our territory and headed straight for the Training Ground. What is the meaning of this?” Tu Fang asked the woman.

After this group of people arrived at the Outer Academy, they forced their way through the mountain gate, directly triggering the Outer Academy's alarm, making the Outer Academy think that the Evil Path had invaded again, so they quickly came out to investigate.

As a result, they discovered this group of people. After they arrived, they didn't say a word, paused briefly, and headed straight for the Training Ground.

Once at the Training Ground, they just stood on one side, coldly staring at the Outer Academy's people, still not speaking.

Along the way, Disciples tried to stop them, but they were all injured by those people. However, those people didn't strike with heavy hands and didn't take lives.

But severe injuries couldn't be avoided, which made the Outer Academy Disciples both shocked and angry, and they all drew their weapons, ready to fight.

But they were stopped by the Elders, because the Elders noticed that the clothes of those people bore a symbol.

That symbol was identical to the one on the Outer Academy Disciples' uniforms, except that symbol had a small “Thirty-Six” mark.

Only then did the Outer Academy Disciples react, looking at their own symbols, which had

At first, many Disciples didn't quite understand the meaning of

Until Elder Tu Fang arrived, everyone gathered behind Elder Tu Fang, looking at the outsiders.

Seeing Tu Fang speak, everyone finally understood that Elder Tu Fang knew that woman.

But everyone didn't understand why, even though they knew each other, the woman was so overbearing, leading her group to rush in aggressively, as if they were here to cause trouble.

The Innate Realm woman was named Luo Bing, and she was the Chief Elder of the Thirty-Sixth Outer Academy of the Xuantian Branch Sect.

She was originally at the same level as Tu Fang, but recently she had just been promoted to Innate. Cultivation has no hierarchy, strength is Supreme, so Tu Fang could only address her as Senior.

As an Enforcement Elder, Tu Fang frequently had to visit the Branch Sect, so he would often encounter experts from other Outer Academies.

And this Luo Bing, with her sharp face, was very striking; it was hard not to remember her after one glance.

Three years ago, this woman was like Tu Fang, merely a Meridian Opening Peak expert. Who knew when she had Broken through to the Innate Realm?

Tu Fang couldn't help but curse the heavens for being blind. This Luo Bing was notoriously sharp-tongued, unreasonable, and often mocked others, relying on her brother being the Sect Leader.

However, this woman wasn't completely idiotic. Her targets for mockery and sarcasm were usually those from lower-ranked groups.

But once, she was blind and mocked a force ranked in the top ten. As a result, the other party was no pushover, and a series of slaps almost tore her mouth apart.

At that time, Luo Bing went back to her brother to cry, but her brother directly gave her two slaps, tied her up, and sent her to the other party's door to apologize, which finally resolved the matter.

This incident happened more than ten years ago, and almost everyone in the entire Branch Sect knew about it; it was a common topic of conversation after meals.

However, this Luo Bing was quiet for less than half a year before she started acting up again. But this time she learned to be smart; she would absolutely not provoke anyone whose strength was unclear.

And as the lowest-ranked One Hundred and Eighth Outer Academy of the Xuantian Outer Academy, Tu Fang had received no small amount of mockery from her when he went to the Branch Sect to handle matters.

However, adhering to the principle that a good man doesn't fight with women, Tu Fang completely ignored her, but that didn't mean Tu Fang didn't resent her.

The most hateful thing about a gossiping woman is her foul mouth; no one can stand it for long.

Several times, Tu Fang almost attacked her, but in the end, reason prevailed, and he didn't act rashly.

Later, when Tu Fang went to the Branch Sect for business, he always went secretly, trying to avoid meeting this gossiping woman.

And this time, for Long Chen's matter, he ran into this gossiping woman again. This idiotic woman, in front of countless experts, mocked the One Hundred and Eighth Outer Academy for being crazy about Geniuses, fabricating a character, and trying to cheat for a Supreme-grade resource.

At that time, Tu Fang was so angry his lungs were about to explode, which is why Tu Fang was so furious when he returned.

However, such a thing was very embarrassing, so he naturally wouldn't tell Long Chen, a junior, about it.

But now this gossiping woman had actually come knocking on their door, making Tu Fang grit his teeth, but he couldn't lose his composure in front of the Disciples, so he had to pretend to be very calm.

Luo Bing didn't even look at Tu Fang and the others, disdainfully saying, “You are not qualified to speak to this Elder. Go and call Ling Yunzi out.”

After Luo Bing finished speaking, Tu Fang's face darkened. She was truly ungrateful. He coldly said, “The Sect Leader is in seclusion. Everything in the Outer Academy is currently managed by this Elder. It's the same if you speak to this Elder.”

“You? Fine!”

Luo Bing glanced at Tu Fang disdainfully, then looked at Tang Waner and the other Disciples. When her gaze fell on Tang Waner, she was slightly surprised.

But it was quickly replaced by mockery, and she sneered, “As expected, a bunch of bumpkins, round and lumpy, crooked and ugly.

I'm baffled as to why the Branch Sect would take a liking to you bumpkins and give you sixteen Core quotas. You're truly a bunch of pigs, ruining a good pot of porridge.”

“Luo Bing, watch your words! This is the One Hundred and Eighth Outer Academy, not your Thirty-Sixth Outer Academy. You'd best clean up your mouth,” Elder Tu Fang roared furiously.

This woman was too hateful. I didn't provoke you, and it's one thing for your mouth to be poisonous usually, but now you're bullying us at our doorstep. Who could stand that?

Tu Fang's face was grim, and the other Elders also looked gloomy, but the other party was an Innate Realm expert, a figure on the same level as the Sect Leader, so they could only endure.

But it was fine for the Elders; the Disciples of the Outer Academy couldn't stand it! Being nakedly mocked, no one could bear it, especially being called pigs.

However, it was clear that the children on the Outer Academy's side were all very well-behaved, knowing that they shouldn't interrupt when their Elders were speaking. But the anger in everyone's eyes was unreservedly directed at that woman.

If anger could kill, that Luo Bing would have long been incinerated by the intense fury in everyone's eyes. Unfortunately, anger was not real fire and could not harm people.

And that Luo Bing clearly enjoyed this feeling. Facing everyone's furious glares, a hint of excitement actually appeared on her face.

“Calling you pigs is a compliment. With less than a thousand new Disciples, you might as well disband.

What's the point of the Branch Sect wasting so many resources on you pigs every year? Pigs are just pigs; no matter how big they grow, they're meant to be slaughtered and eaten.

If the Outer Academy were to save the resources wasted on you and give them to other higher-ranked Outer Academies, it would be enough to cultivate several Supreme-grade Disciples.

Frankly, you're just a bunch of food-wasting, good-for-nothing pigs. What's the use of giving you so many Core-level quotas?

When you go to the Nine Li Secret Realm, with your demeanor, will anyone even come back alive? You're rushing to your deaths, truly pig-brained.”

Luo Bing's eyes swept over everyone, especially lingering on the Core Disciples, her face full of contempt and mockery.

Her words were like whips lashing across everyone's faces. Those Core Disciples gritted their teeth and clenched their fists tightly.

Long Chen, at the back of the crowd, curled his lips and sighed softly. Was there no one brave enough to stand up and curse back at her besides himself?

If you don't come out, then I won't either. I'll see how long you can be so spineless.

No one knew that Ling Yunzi, who had announced his seclusion, was standing in front of his Immortal Cave, looking at the arena from afar, a smile appearing on his face:

“Enough, you surnamed Luo, shut your stinking mouth! You are not welcome here, so get out!” Tu Fang roared furiously.

“Ling Yunzi isn't here, you're not qualified to make me leave.”

Luo Bing sneered, “If you want us to leave, you need to agree to one condition.”
