Chapter 127: Damn, Is This Really the Level?

At the entrance of Dan Ding Peak, Zhang Erdog and Feng Bu Jue blocked the way.

“Halt! This is Wuming Peak. What do you want?” Zhang Erdog, already sensing the hostility, slammed his wolf-toothed club into the ground, exuding a powerful aura as he fearlessly confronted the group from Dan Ding Peak.

“Hmph, how dare you! An elder from Dan Ding Peak is here. Quickly summon your sect leader!” Li Shun glared furiously. The grudge from two days ago must be settled today. With Elder Gu’s backing, would they dare to act recklessly?

“Hmph, our sect leader is currently in seclusion. Do you really think you can just meet him? Return from where you came, or I’ll have no choice but to take action.” Zhang Erdog unleashed his aura, unflinching against the group of powerful enemies.

“How dare you…” At that moment, Elder Gu, who had appeared calm, suddenly flared his eyes with sharp light, releasing a thunderous roar.

The group from Danding Peak arrived at the entrance of the mountain, where Zhang Er’gou and Feng Bujue blocked their path.

“Halt! This is Nameless Peak. What do you think you’re doing?” Zhang Er’gou, already aware of their ill intentions, slammed his wolf-toothed club on the ground, exuding an imposing aura as he fearlessly stood in front of the Danding Peak group.

“Hmph, how insolent! The outer sect elder of Danding Peak is here. Summon your sect leader immediately,” Li Shun glared, determined to settle the score from the previous day. With Elder Gu backing him, he doubted they would dare to act recklessly.

“Hmph, our sect leader is in seclusion. You can’t just demand to see him. Leave now, or I’ll be forced to act,” Zhang Er’gou’s aura surged, unflinching in the face of the formidable group before him.

“Insolent!” At that moment, Elder Gu, who had been calm, suddenly erupted with a thunderous roar, his eyes flashing with intensity.

Zhang Er’gou and the others felt their eardrums tremble in pain. Feng Bujue stepped forward, shielding Zhang Er’gou, and clasped his fists. “Elder Gu, this is Nameless Peak, a place granted by our sect leader. It’s inappropriate for Danding Peak to gather here like this.”

“Summon your sect leader. I have no patience for your nonsense,” Elder Gu’s cold gaze pierced through them.

This matter could not be left unresolved. If Nameless Peak were allowed to continue unchecked, where would that leave Danding Peak in the future?

“Elder Gu, our sect leader is in seclusion. If you have business, you may return tomorrow,” Feng Bujue replied calmly, neither submissive nor arrogant.

Since they were within the sect, there was no immediate threat to their lives. Following the sect leader’s instructions from the previous night, they aimed to stall for time.

“Insolent!” Elder Gu roared, his overwhelming aura crashing like a tidal wave, forcing Zhang Er’gou and Feng Bujue to struggle to maintain their composure.

“Seize them! Today, I’ll see what Nameless Peak is capable of against Danding Peak,” Elder Gu’s fury was palpable, his eyes blazing with anger.

To compete with Danding Peak for alchemy resources was nothing short of suicide.

The outer sect disciples watching from the sidelines exchanged uneasy glances. They wanted to help Nameless Peak, but the person before them was an elder from Danding Peak.

As mere outer sect disciples, they dared not defy their superiors. Any disrespect could lead to their deaths, with no one to avenge them.

“Stop!”

Just as Zhang Er’gou raised his wolf-toothed club, Ye Shaotian hurried over.

“Elder Gu, please grant me some face. Let’s sit down and discuss this,” Ye Shaotian said, knowing trouble was brewing when he heard that Elder Gu from Danding Peak had come to Nameless Peak.

Elder Gu, the outer sect elder of Danding Peak, was known for his temper. Nameless Peak’s alchemy activities had cut into Danding Peak’s profits, something no one could tolerate.

“Ye Shaotian, stay out of this. Elder Gu’s decisions are not for an outer sect disciple like you to interfere with,” Li Shun interjected.

“Elder Gu, we are all part of the same sect. There’s no need for such hostility—”

“Get lost!” Before Ye Shaotian could finish, Elder Gu cut him off with a furious shout.

Ye Shaotian took a deep breath, his expression darkening, his inner rage burning.

How dare he insult me!

Since being influenced by Lin Fan, Ye Shaotian had become more tempered, but such an insult was intolerable for a top outer sect disciple like him.

At that moment, Ye Shaotian’s gaze sharpened, and his arrogance surged. “Anyone who dares to take a step forward today will face my wrath.”

“Ye Shaotian, what do you think you’re doing?” Li Shun stepped back, standing beside Elder Gu, and shouted angrily.

Was everyone rebelling today?

Even with an elder present, they dared to act so recklessly.

Inside the room, Lin Fan paced back and forth, pondering what to do. He had heard the commotion outside.

This was going to be a disaster.

The boss had come to crush them. What should he do? Flee in stealth? He had considered it, but running away would be a massive humiliation.

What to do, what to do.

Lin Fan’s expression was anxious, his hands rubbing together, utterly at a loss. He peeked through the crack in the door to see what was happening outside.

“Damn, so many people have come. It seems they’re really determined to wipe us out. Danding Peak is too domineering.”

Lin Fan’s gaze swept over the outer sect disciples, Ye Shaotian, and the elder from Danding Peak, who seemed to be in conflict with them.

“Huh?”

At that moment, when Lin Fan’s eyes landed on the Danding Peak elder, his expression changed.

“Early-stage Divine Transformation…”

Holy crap…

It’s just an early-stage Divine Transformation elder.

Lin Fan was stunned. The elder who had kept him up all night was only at the early stage of Divine Transformation…

This… this.

No more words, nothing more to say.

At that moment, Lin Fan straightened his sleeves, lifted his chin, and exuded an air of authority. His eyes shone with an intimidating light as he pushed open the wooden door.

All his previous worries vanished, replaced by a domineering aura that seemed to look down on the world.

Back in Cangling Continent, his cultivation had been at the peak of the Innate Realm. After arriving here, it had condensed to the early stage of the Innate Realm.

But now, a mere early-stage Divine Transformation elder thought he could sweep through his sect? It was as if they didn’t even consider him, the sect leader, worth their attention.

With the outer sect disciples gathered, it was time to establish his authority.

Always being friendly might have made some think he was easy to bully. Today, with these whetstones here, it was time to let them feel the warmth of his care.

“Everyone, stop!” At that moment, a commanding voice rang out from the distance.

Ye Shaotian, who had been ready to act, paused and turned his gaze toward the source.

Zhang Er’gou and Feng Bujue also looked, as if their backbone had arrived.

“Sect Leader…”

The Danding Peak disciples glared at Lin Fan, their eyes filled with hatred. This was the man who had taken their business.

Elder Gu, however, remained composed, carefully observing Lin Fan.

Lin Fan walked forward slowly, step by step, unhurried, his hands behind his back, his chin slightly raised, and his eyes radiating an intimidating light.

The aura of a peerless expert instantly filled the area, captivating everyone with its profound and overwhelming presence.

“Disciples of Danding Peak, why have you come to my Nameless Peak to cause trouble? Do you think Nameless Peak has no one to stand up for it?” Lin Fan’s voice, though calm, carried the sharpness of a blade, piercing the hearts of the Danding Peak disciples.

At that moment, Zhang Er’gou and the others were dumbfounded.

They noticed that their sect leader seemed different from before.

It was as if the person before them now truly embodied the role of a sect leader, instilling an inexplicable sense of fear in them.

Their gazes toward the sect leader were filled with awe and trepidation.

“Summon your sect leader. I don’t wish to waste words with you,” Elder Gu stared coldly at the two with piercing eyes.

This matter could not be left unresolved. If Wuming Peak were allowed to develop unchecked, where would that leave Dan Ding Peak in the future?

“Elder Gu, the sect leader is in seclusion. If you have business, please come back tomorrow,” Feng Bu Jue replied calmly and respectfully.

Within the sect’s premises, there would be no threat to life, and according to the sect leader’s instructions from the previous night, they should stall for time.

“How dare you…” Elder Gu roared furiously, instantly unleashing an immense pressure that surged like a tidal wave, causing Zhang Erdog and Feng Bu Jue’s expressions to change as they struggled to withstand it.

“Seize them. Today, I will see just what Wuming Peak is capable of challenging Dan Ding Peak,” Elder Gu declared with an overwhelming aura, his eyes brimming with rage.

Competing with Dan Ding Peak for alchemy resources was tantamount to suicide.

The surrounding outer disciples exchanged glances, visibly shaken. They wanted to help Wuming Peak, but the person before them was an elder from Dan Ding Peak.

As mere outer disciples, they dared not defy their superiors. Even if they spoke out of turn, they would likely be killed without anyone avenging them.

“Stop!”

Just as Zhang Erdog raised his wolf-toothed club, Ye Shaotian hurriedly arrived.

“Elder Gu, please grant me this favor and let’s sit down and talk,” Ye Shaotian had already sensed trouble upon hearing that Elder Gu from Dan Ding Peak had come to Wuming Peak.

Elder Gu was an outer elder of Dan Ding Peak, known for his volatile temper. Additionally, Wuming Peak’s recent alchemical activities had cut off Dan Ding Peak’s profit sources.

Such a situation was intolerable for anyone involved.

“Ye Shaotian, don’t interfere. What an outer disciple decides cannot override Elder Gu’s decision,” Li Shun interjected at this moment.

“Elder Gu, we are all from the same sect. Why must we face each other with hostility…”

“Get out of my way.” Before Ye Shaotian could finish, Elder Gu callously interrupted with a furious shout.

Ye Shaotian inhaled deeply, his face darkening with anger.

Damn it, how dare he curse me!

Since being influenced by Lin Fan, Ye Shaotian’s temperament had become much milder compared to before, but such a change wasn’t easy to achieve.

Now, after speaking politely, he had been insulted. As a talented outer disciple, he naturally couldn’t tolerate this.

At this moment, Ye Shaotian’s eyes narrowed, exuding an arrogant aura. “Today, anyone who dares take a step forward will face my merciless retaliation.”

“Ye Shaotian, what do you think you’re doing?” Li Shun took a step back, standing beside Elder Gu as he angrily shouted.

Had the world turned upside down?

An elder had arrived, yet they still dared to act recklessly.

Inside the room, Lin Fan paced back and forth, constantly thinking about what to do. He had heard everything happening outside.

This time, it was going to be a disaster.

The boss had come to crush them. What should he do? Hiding and fleeing had crossed his mind, but that would be too disgraceful.

What should I do? What should I do?

Lin Fan looked anxious, rubbing his hands together, not knowing what to do. Then he peeked outside through the crack in the door.

He couldn’t see how the situation outside had developed.

“Oh my God… So many people came. They really want to wipe us out. Dan Ding Peak is just too domineering.”

Lin Fan scanned the scene. The outer disciples had arrived, and so had Ye Shaotian. It seemed there was a conflict between him and Elder Gu from Dan Ding Peak.

“Ah…”

At that moment, when Lin Fan’s gaze fell on the Dan Ding Peak elder, his expression changed.

“At initial Heaven Ascension stage…”

What the hell…

The elder from Dan Ding Peak who had kept him awake all night was merely at the initial Heaven Ascension stage…

This…

No more words, nothing more to say.

At this moment, Lin Fan tidied his robes, stood tall with his chest out, slightly raised his chin, exuded a majestic aura, and with a determined gaze, pushed open the wooden door.

His previous anxiety vanished completely, replaced by an overbearing confidence that seemed to defy the heavens.

The group from Danding Peak arrived at the entrance of the mountain, where Zhang Er’gou and Feng Bujue blocked their path.

“Halt! This is Nameless Peak. What do you want here?” Zhang Er’gou, already aware of their ill intentions, slammed his wolf-toothed club on the ground, exuding an imposing aura as he fearlessly stood in front of the Danding Peak group.

“Hmph, how insolent! The outer sect elder of Danding Peak is here. Quickly summon your sect leader,” Li Shun glared, determined to settle the score from the previous day. With Elder Gu backing them, how dare they act so arrogantly?

“Hmph, our sect leader is in seclusion. You can’t just see him whenever you please. Return from whence you came, lest I take action,” Zhang Er’gou’s aura surged, unflinching in the face of these formidable foes.

“Insolent!” At that moment, Elder Gu, who had been calm, erupted with a thunderous roar, his eyes flashing with intensity.

Zhang Er’gou and the others felt their eardrums tremble in pain. Feng Bujue stepped in front of Zhang Er’gou, cupping his fists and saying, “Elder Gu, this is Nameless Peak, a place bestowed by our sect leader. It seems inappropriate for Danding Peak to gather here in such numbers.”

“Summon your sect leader. I have no desire to waste words with you,” Elder Gu’s cold gaze pierced through the two.

This matter could not be left unresolved. If Nameless Peak were allowed to continue unchecked, where would that leave Danding Peak in the future?

“Elder Gu, our sect leader is in seclusion. If you have business, you may return tomorrow,” Feng Bujue replied calmly, neither submissive nor overbearing.

Since they were within the sect, there was no immediate threat to their lives. Following the sect leader’s instructions from the previous night, they aimed to delay as much as possible.

“Insolent!” Elder Gu roared in fury, his overwhelming aura surging like a tidal wave, pressing down on Zhang Er’gou and Feng Bujue, who struggled to withstand it.

“Seize them! Today, I will see for myself what capabilities Nameless Peak has to rival Danding Peak,” Elder Gu’s aura was now sky-high, his eyes blazing with anger.

To compete with Danding Peak for alchemical resources was nothing short of suicidal.

The outer sect disciples watching from the sidelines exchanged uneasy glances, their emotions in turmoil. They wanted to help Nameless Peak, but the person before them was an elder of Danding Peak.

As mere outer sect disciples, they dared not defy their superiors. Any disrespectful words could lead to their deaths, with no one to seek justice for them.

“Stop!”

Just as Zhang Er’gou raised his wolf-toothed club, Ye Shaotian hurried over.

“Elder Gu, please grant this disciple some face and let us sit down to discuss this,” Ye Shaotian said, having already sensed trouble when he learned of Elder Gu’s arrival at Nameless Peak.

Elder Gu, the outer sect elder of Danding Peak, was known for his temper. The alchemical activities at Nameless Peak had left Danding Peak’s outer sect with no profits to reap.

Such a situation would be intolerable for anyone.

“Ye Shaotian, stay out of this. Elder Gu’s decisions are not something an outer sect disciple like you can interfere with,” Li Shun interjected.

“Elder Gu, we are all part of the same sect. Why must we confront each other with such hostility…”

“Get lost!” Before Ye Shaotian could finish, Elder Gu harshly interrupted, his voice filled with rage.

Ye Shaotian took a deep breath, his expression turning grim, his heart burning with anger.

How dare he insult me like this!

Since being influenced by Lin Fan, Ye Shaotian’s temperament had mellowed considerably, but such a change wasn’t easy to maintain.

Now, after speaking politely, he had been insulted. As a proud outer sect disciple, Ye Shaotian could not tolerate this.

At that moment, Ye Shaotian’s gaze sharpened, and an arrogant aura burst forth. “Today, anyone who dares to take a step forward will face my merciless wrath.”

“Ye Shaotian, what do you think you’re doing?” Li Shun took a step back, standing beside Elder Gu, and shouted angrily.

Has everyone gone mad today?

Even with an elder present, they still dare to act so insolently.

Lin Fan paced back and forth in his room, pondering what to do. He had already heard the commotion outside.

This time, it seemed like a disaster was imminent.

The boss had come to crush them. What should he do? He had considered sneaking away, but that would be a massive loss of face.

What to do, what to do.

Lin Fan’s expression was anxious, his hands rubbing together, utterly at a loss. He peeked through the crack in the door to see what was happening outside.

“Damn, so many people have come. It seems they really want to wipe us out. Danding Peak is too domineering.”

Lin Fan’s gaze swept over the scene. The outer sect disciples were there, and Ye Shaotian had arrived as well. It seemed there was some conflict with Danding Peak’s elder.

“Huh?”

At that moment, when Lin Fan’s eyes landed on Danding Peak’s elder, his expression changed.

“Early-stage Divine Transformation…”

Holy crap…

It’s just an early-stage Divine Transformation elder.

At that moment, Lin Fan was stunned. The Danding Peak elder who had kept him up all night was merely at the early stage of Divine Transformation…

This… this.

No need to say more, nothing more to say.

At that moment, Lin Fan straightened his sleeves, lifted his chin, and exuded an air of authority. His eyes shone with divine light as he pushed open the wooden door.

All his previous worries vanished, replaced by an overwhelming sense of dominance.

Back in Cangling Continent, his cultivation had been at the peak of the ninth stage of the Innate Realm. After coming here, it had condensed to the early stage of the Innate Realm.

But now, a mere early-stage Divine Transformation elder thought he could sweep through his sect? It was as if he didn’t even consider the sect leader worthy of respect.

With the outer sect disciples gathered, it was time to establish some authority.

Always being friendly might have led some to think he was easy to bully. Today, with these whetstones here, it was time to let them feel the warmth of his care.

“All of you, stop!” At that moment, a commanding voice rang out from the distance.

Ye Shaotian, who had been about to act, paused, his gaze fixed on the source of the voice.

Zhang Er’gou and Feng Bujue were similarly affected, as if their backbone had arrived.

“Sect Leader…”

The Danding Peak disciples looked at Lin Fan with hatred in their eyes. It was this man who had taken their business.

Elder Gu, however, remained composed, carefully observing Lin Fan.

Lin Fan walked forward slowly, step by step, unhurried, his hands behind his back, his chin slightly raised, his eyes radiating an intimidating light.

The aura of a peerless expert instantly filled the area, captivating everyone with its profound and irresistible presence.

“Disciples of Danding Peak, why have you left your own peak to cause trouble at my Nameless Peak? Do you think Nameless Peak has no one to stand up for it?” Lin Fan’s voice was calm but carried an undeniable authority, each word like a sharp sword piercing the hearts of the Danding Peak disciples.

At that moment, Zhang Er’gou and the others were dumbfounded.

They noticed that the sect leader seemed different from before.

It was as if the sect leader before them now truly embodied the role, exuding an inexplicable sense of awe.

Their gazes towards the sect leader were filled with a newfound respect and fear.

Yet now, an elder merely at the initial Heaven Ascension stage dared to sweep through his sect, as if completely disregarding Sect Leader Lin.

Now was the perfect time, with the outer disciples gathered, to establish some authority.

Being too kind might have led some to think he was easy to bully. Today, with a few whetstones available, he would let them experience some loving care.

“Stop!”

At this moment, a commanding voice filled with authority rang out from the distance.

Ye Shaotian, who was about to act, hesitated slightly, his gaze fixed on the rear.

Zhang Erdog and Feng Bu Jue felt the same, as if their pillar of support had finally arrived.

“Sect Leader…”

When the disciples from Dan Ding Peak looked at Lin Fan, hatred flashed in their eyes. It was this person who had taken over their business.

Elder Gu, however, remained expressionless, carefully scrutinizing the opponent.

At this moment, Lin Fan approached slowly, step by step, unhurried, his hands clasped behind his back, slightly raising his chin, his eyes flashing with an unapproachable light.

The demeanor of an ultimate expert instantly dominated the entire scene, captivating everyone with an overwhelming aura they couldn’t resist.

“You Dan Ding Peak disciples, why have you come to Wuming Peak to cause trouble instead of staying at your own mountain? Do you think Wuming Peak has no one worthy of standing against you?” Lin Fan’s words carried an innate authority, each sentence piercing like a sharp sword into the hearts of Dan Ding Peak’s disciples.

At this moment, Zhang Erdog and the others were stunned.

They noticed that their sect leader had changed somewhat from before.

It seemed like the sect leader before them was more like a true leader now, filling them with an inexplicable sense of fear.

The looks in their eyes toward their sect leader were now filled with awe.
