Almost half of the martial arts world was standing in front of the Shaolin Temple gate. Fortunately, the terrain here was open and there was still an open space even with a large number of people.

Zhang Qishan stood opposite Deyuan and the others, and upon hearing laughter behind him, a fierce look appeared on his face.

The joke about the martial arts alliance leader isn't so funny, but Zhang Qishan living off a woman is a real fact. Before, no one in the martial arts world dared to say it, simply because they were afraid of his martial prowess. Now, everyone is afraid he'll settle scores later, so they dare to suppress their laughter.

Xie Muliu, knowing her own strength, was no longer afraid and dared to speak up and embarrass him.

"Xie Muliu!"

Zhang Qishan gritted his teeth and shouted out the name of the person behind the wall of people on the other side. His feelings for this ex-wife are complicated.

Love, yes! Not much, but enough to stir his heartstrings; hate, yes! Not much, but enough to make him act against her without any hindrance.

After her child was kidnapped, she neither married nor looked for him, focusing solely on finding her child. It would be a lie to say he felt nothing; he was only secretly considering giving her a proper status and a stable life once he achieved something significant.

"What?" Upon hearing her enemy call her name, Xie Muliu gracefully walked through the crowd and stood at the front.

However, she forgot that after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, people's appearance, physique, and temperament are vastly different from ordinary people. The reason why others don't have this treatment for the time being is simply because they don't have a good son and no one uses spiritual energy to nourish their physical bodies in reality.

Xie Muliu is different. Her good son has changed her inside and out, and now it's no exaggeration to say that she is a celestial being descended to earth.

Those who knew Xie Ming's background turned away, feeling extremely jealous. There's just no difference between a biological child and a wild one.

The events of the night were too exciting, and Xie Tai hadn't recovered from the ethereal world he was in. Seeing everyone's drooling expressions, he immediately realized what was going on.

"Madam!"

Zhang Qishan, stunned, uttered the nickname he once used for his wife. He never imagined that his former wife would become so...so alluring to him.

Thinking of her delicate, smooth skin and stunning beauty, he even began to doubt how he could have abandoned such a treasure to get together with Mei Ru.

"You scoundrel, how dare you tarnish my reputation!"

Hearing his greasy and disgusting address, Xie Muliu couldn't help but draw her sword and leap forward, unleashing an unstoppable pressure that forced the person opposite her to retreat step by step.

Zhang Qishan, who had also reached the Grandmaster realm, managed to stop his retreat after being forced back a few steps by Zhang Muliu.

He was surprised that Xie Muliu had such skill; even if she had cultivated the second half of the "Quenching Storm Technique," she couldn't have improved so quickly.

He didn't have time to think much; Xie Muliu was already attacking with all her might, and Zhang Qishan drew his weapon to meet her.

The two exchanged blows, locked in a fierce and evenly matched fight. Xie Muliu's swordsmanship had reached its pinnacle. In his younger days, he had hesitated to face the person before him because of insufficient internal energy.

Now that she has abundant spiritual power in her dantian, she can easily cope even without using magic.

"When did Xie Muliu of Yufeng Manor acquire such skill?"

Chen, the sect leader of Tai'a, was considered to be on par with Xie Tai more than ten years ago, but when Xie Muliu made his move, he was certain that it was Xie Tai's doing.

"I wonder if it's related to the 'Quenching Storm Technique'."

A middle-aged man with a full beard chimed in.

These words immediately sparked a flurry of discussion among the surrounding people, with many turning their gazes toward Xie Tai on the other side.

"Bang!"

The aftershocks of the fight between the two men in the air struck the group of people's feet without warning.

Their cultivation levels were so high that if they fought without holding back, there would inevitably be twists and turns. Liao Yuan immediately took action and pushed everyone around him away, and a faint barrier of pressure appeared in front of everyone.

Those who came looking for trouble were all surprised, realizing that what Liao Yuan had just said was true: the Central Plains would have a Grandmaster in the future.

Liaoyuan: This old monk has only reached the Transcendent Realm, which is different from your martial arts.

"Look, Young Master Xie slapped Alliance Leader Zhang."

A loud female voice instantly brought everyone back to their senses, drawing their attention back to the two people who had fallen from mid-air to the ground.

Zhang Qishan is finding it increasingly difficult to cope, but he is still struggling to hold on because of his position as the leader of the alliance.

"Could it be that Yufeng Manor has also practiced the 'Quenching Storm Technique'?" Another question arose from the crowd.

"Impossible. You've forgotten that when Alliance Leader Zhang reappeared in the martial world with the 'Quenching Storm Technique,' he had already cultivated it for over ten years. Among the people of Yufeng Manor, the only one who could surpass Alliance Leader Zhang would be Manor Lord Xie."

Headmaster Chen of Tai'a denied it, but a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: "Could it be that a new cultivation technique has appeared in the world?"

Although everyone found it hard to believe, the scene before them could only mean that Sect Leader Chen's guess was probably true.

"I wonder which master has emerged to create a technique that is even more exquisite than the 'Quenching Mist Technique'. It seems that the title of the number one technique will soon change hands."

The speaker's words were full of drooling.

Xie Ming, who had not shown up, was very satisfied to hear this statement. From now on, the 'Quenching Technique' would be trampled into the mud step by step.

At this moment, Xie Muliu in the center of the field found an opening, rushed forward and kicked Zhang Qishan, and after Zhang Qishan fell to the ground, he did not forget to finish him off with a sword to the waist and abdomen.

Xie Ming: Oh ho! The Sword of Severing Offspring! To kill someone and destroy their spirit, you have to kill their mother.

"A defeated opponent." Xie Muliu sheathed his sword, glanced disdainfully at the person on the ground, and then cupped his hands to the people around him, saying, "Please remember that the 'Quenching Mist Technique' was defeated by the Wind Control Sword Technique today."

Her hatred for "Quilan Technique" was no less than Xie Ming's. Her eagerness to take action was not only to teach Zhang Qishan a lesson, but also to destroy the martial arts reputation of "Quilan Technique".

As for her unique skills, who dares to covet them now?

Zhang Qishan had just lost all face; his eyes lowered in hatred, and he clenched his fists.
