Chapter 564 Not Acceptable
Cao Shan spat out a mouthful of blood, and the stuffy feeling in his chest dissipated, and he felt much more comfortable breathing.
He didn't care about anything else and quickly looked inward to check his soul. He found that there was nothing serious and he only needed to recuperate for a day or two. Fortunately, the other party did not kill him, but just gave him a brief blow.
He breathed a sigh of relief, but anger surged within him. "This Yunshan Sect member is far too arrogant! The Jijian Sect has warned us against private attacks during the Sword Discussion Conference. This woman is so arrogant! She actually dared to hurt me! My Xianlan Sect will not let this matter go!"
Cao Shan slammed the table and looked at the two elders of Xianlan Sect.
Cao Shan was an untouchable figure among the Xianlan Sect disciples present, no matter his strength, status or family background. The disciples below did not dare to breathe and looked at the two elders in fear.
Seeing the two elders pondering silently, Zhen Yao frowned slightly, took a step forward, and hinted:
"Elder Zhang, Elder Li, when Senior Brother Zhu and I first arrived at the Extreme Sword Sect, we saw Pei Yun take out the tokens of Venerable Qin Gu and even Patriarch Qin Meng. We also saw her walking with Venerable Qin Gu and Venerable Lingxi in Lingxi Mountain. They looked familiar. Let's not make a big deal about this! After all, this is the territory of the Extreme Sword Sect..."
"Junior Sister Zhen, what are you talking about? Pei Yun openly injured me on the territory of Jijian Sect, which is an insult to the reputation of my Xianlan Sect. You are actually speaking for an outsider!" Cao Shan glared at Zhen Yao fiercely and said gloomily.
Zhu Zhi, who was originally standing next to Zhen Yao, quietly moved away from her when he saw this.
Zhen Yao glanced at Cao Shan without fear and turned her gaze to the two elders.
This Cao Shan has repeatedly provoked people from the Yunshan Sect. Now that he has suffered a loss, he wants to use the banner of the Xianlan Sect to seek "justice" for him. He is really shameless.
After all, Cao Shan is the eldest disciple of the Fifth Elder, and the Fifth Elder's faction still has a certain influence in the sect. The two elders don't want to offend each other too much.
However, Zhen Yao's words just now made the two of them sober up a lot. If this matter got out of hand, they didn't know whether Yunshan Sect would be in trouble, but their Xianlan Sect would definitely lose face in front of all the major sects and families. After all, they were the ones who started the dispute and provoked twice in a row.
"Alright! Stop talking!" Elder Zhang and Elder Li exchanged glances and both reached a decision. "Let's end this matter here. Don't mention it again."
"Two elders..." Cao Shan didn't get what he wanted, and he was very unwilling to vent his anger.
"...It was clearly you who provoked them first. You didn't understand their strength before you provoked them, and ended up suffering a loss. You wanted to use the power of your sect to bully them. If anyone knows about this, it will bring shame to our Xianlan Sect. If you act impulsively again, we will report it to the Sect Master after we return."
Elder Li snorted coldly. Although he didn't want to offend the Fifth Elder, it didn't mean that a disciple could refute their decision.
Being scolded in public, Cao Shan lowered his head in embarrassment, and couldn't help but hate the two elders in his heart.
The people from the Yunshan Sect stayed in Lanyuexuan until midnight, and then left with a sense of reluctance.
As soon as he left the pavilion, he was blocked by several groups of people.
After all, Cao Shan was the pride of the Xianlan Sect, and he was still unwilling to give up. So as soon as Pei Yun and his group came out, he immediately walked over without waiting for the two elders to stop him.
"You were the one who hurt me just now?" Cao Shan looked at Pei Yun with disdain. He found that the other party's cultivation level was the same as his, both in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
"It's just a matter of returning the favor in their own way." Pei Yun said calmly.
"I haven't seen you much in the sword-fighting competition, but do you dare to fight with me in the Denggao Tower?" He didn't believe that his swordsmanship would lose to this woman.
Seeing that there were many people gathered around the Yunshan Sect, many of them were secretly watching the excitement. When they saw Cao Shan inviting them to a fight, the onlookers fixed their eyes on Pei Yun, waiting to watch the show.
Cao Shan is also a talented swordsman, and his strength in swordsmanship is not low. It was only when he met Luo Rufeng three days ago that his winning streak was broken.
But to everyone's surprise, Pei Yun's tone was calm and without any ripples:
"I'm sorry, I won't accept your challenge. I'm not a swordsman, and I came to the Sword Competition to accompany my Taoist partner. If you want to compete in swordsmanship, you can challenge my Taoist partner..."
Pei Yun said this and took Luo Rufeng's hand openly. Luo Rufeng unconsciously smiled. As a Taoist partner, Luo Rufeng was very satisfied with this display of affection in public.
Cao Shan was choked by her words. Before he could speak, a familiar-looking man walked up to him and said to Pei Yun with a smile:
"You haven't watched the competition these past few days, so you might not know that Elder Luo has already competed with the person in front of you. As for the result... you can tell by looking at this person's continuous provocations tonight!"
"You! Who do you think you are..." Seeing the sarcastic look of the man in front of him, Cao Shan could no longer hold back the anger that had been pent up in his chest.
Zhu Zhi rolled his eyes and whispered, "Senior Brother Cao, this is Fu Lingchen who once defected from our sect!"
"Are you Fu Lingchen?!" Cao Shan looked hesitant.
At this time, Elder Zhang of the Xianlan Sect spoke: "Enough of Caoshan! Come back!"
Cao Shan's eyes were filled with anger as he glanced at everyone from the Yunshan Sect. Finally, he stared at Pei Yun with a fierce gaze. After a few moments, he turned around helplessly and left with everyone from the Xianlan Sect.
Fu Lingchen looked deeply at Zhen Yao, who was mixed in with a group of Xianlan Sect disciples, with his lips tightly pursed, but Zhen Yao did not look at him again from beginning to end.
"Let's go!"
Tonight is a rare leisure time, and the people of Yunshan Sect don’t want to be spoiled by this person.
However, some people came just to spoil the fun. Before they had taken a few steps, Huangfu Ye came up with the Ningguo guards.
The two elders and Huangfu Jia standing behind him shook their heads helplessly, lamenting in their hearts that the fifth prince had been spoiled to the point of not knowing his place.
This is no longer naivety, but stupidity. He had already lost once before, and the sword energy test in Lanyuexuan just now did not make him realize that his strength was far from Luo Rufeng's. Now he actually wanted to come and challenge him to a fight.
"Luo Rufeng, I challenge you to a fight. Do you dare to fight me in the Denggao Tower?"
Luo Rufeng raised his eyelids and glanced at him calmly: "Why not? I go to the arena to compete every day. If you invite me to a fight through the Extreme Sword Sect, I will accept it."
He said with a deadpan expression, "...Now please move aside."
Seeing the Yunshan Sect's group leaving, some of the onlookers whispered to each other—
"This Yunshan Sect is just a small sect in Beiqizhou. How dare they act so arrogantly in my Dongcangzhou..."
"The Yunshan Sect isn't worth mentioning, but Luo Rufeng is truly capable. Half a year has passed since the Sword Contest, and Luo Rufeng hasn't lost a single match, maintaining a perfect record. Until now, only twenty-three participants in the entire Sword Contest have been able to maintain this record..."
"The Extreme Sword Sect is the same, they don't publish the ranking points. Where did you get this information?"
"All the gambling houses in Jitian City have opened their betting sites, and there's all sorts of news about the top 100 contestants..."
……
Not far away, a group of disciples from the Jijian Sect also paid attention to what was happening in the Yunshan Sect. Among them were Yi Jiantao and Pei An.
Yi Jiantao respectfully said to Xu Cheng, who was in the lead, "Senior Brother Xu, although Luo Rufeng is very talented, he is not a disciple of our Extreme Sword Sect after all. Moreover, at the birthday banquet at Lingxi Mountain last time, Elder Qin wanted to take him in as a disciple, but he ungratefully refused. This time, he has defeated several disciples of our Extreme Sword Sect in succession. I heard that Senior Sister Huang was even grounded for this. Senior Brother Xu is a master swordsman. I think if you take action, you will definitely teach Luo Rufeng a lesson and break his winning streak..."
Xu Cheng half-closed his eyes and glanced at the direction where Luo Rufeng disappeared. His desire to win was aroused: "It really takes a while..."
