After watching for a while, they recognized the Qi Refining cultivator who had been slapped as Han Chentu!
"Is that really Han Chentu? No way, this is really strange. Who is this person? He looks like an ordinary early Foundation Establishment cultivator, but he actually dared to make a move in Pingshan City, and even slapped Han Chentu across the face one after another. What a fierce person!"
"Han Chentu is a local tyrant in Pingshan City. Among low-level cultivators, almost no one dares to provoke him. Who can blame him when his grandfather is Han, the retainer of Wanbaolou? In the cultivation world where Nascent Soul cultivators are rare, he already has the demeanor of a hegemon."
"To see this little tyrant being slapped in the street is truly a rare sight. I initially thought it was some powerful expert at the Purple Mansion stage, but it turns out to be some seemingly ordinary early Foundation Establishment cultivator?"
"This guy is really brave... How dare he do this? Doesn't he know who Han Chentu is, or what his background is? A mere early Foundation Establishment cultivator, he's got some nerve!"
"This person is probably a core disciple of the main branch of the Cloud Soaring Sect, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to make a move in Pingshan City, let alone be so bold as to slap Han Chentu. Only someone with this identity could be safe and sound!"
"…………"
For a moment, the surrounding cultivators were all discussing it, feeling surprised and shocked. They never expected that the little tyrant of Pingshan City would be slapped in the street like that. They had a strange feeling of never having lived long enough to see such a thing.
There was admiration and respect for Lin Xiuyuan, but even more so, a sense of regret. In their view, provoking Han Chentu and humiliating him in this way was almost like forging a deadly feud. Given the other party's power, Lin Xiuyuan's life was in danger.
However, after this thought flashed through their minds for a moment, most people began to speculate. Since everyone was a cultivator, there were no fools among them. In their eyes, no matter how unwise Lin Xiuyuan's actions were, in everyone's eyes, Lin Xiuyuan had already cultivated to the Foundation Establishment stage, so he was obviously not stupid. He must have some kind of backing to dare to do such a thing.
Almost instantly, everyone guessed that Lin Xiuyuan was either a core disciple of the four main branches of the Yunxiao Sect, or that his family background was no less than that of Han Chentu.
Or even more powerful?
But that's highly unlikely. Lin Xiuyuan is a complete stranger, yet he seems to be part of the same group as the Zhou family.
Therefore, most people believe that Lin Xiuyuan is more likely to be the former.
"If he is indeed a core disciple of one of the four branches of the Cloud Soaring Sect, then as long as Han Chentu's life is not harmed, he should be fine..."
At this moment, as time passed, more and more people gathered around.
But it was only a short while ago.
What was destined to arrive had already come into view, with several escape lights swirling in mid-air.
It was none other than the Pingshan City Guard.
Seeing this, Lin Xiuyuan stopped what he was doing.
The hatred and anger in Han Chentu's eyes had dissipated.
Under Lin Xiuyuan's cold and indifferent gaze, slap after slap came relentlessly. The intense pain briefly extinguished the hatred in his heart, and instead, a sense of fear rose in his eyes, revealing a look of terror!
In that previous situation, he really thought Lin Xiuyuan would beat him to death.
How could one not be terrified?!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone around him, he felt an indescribable sense of unease.
But upon seeing the arrival of the Ping Shan City guards, Han Chentu seemed to regain his confidence. The pent-up frustration and anger in his heart resurfaced and surged up again. He looked at Lin Xiuyuan with a face full of humiliation and resentment, and said in a hoarse, slightly lisping voice, "You're...you're done for. Are you still not dead?!"
However, he then saw that Lin Xiuyuan's expression was almost unchanged. Lin Xiuyuan calmly looked up at the few streaks of light in mid-air, then turned his gaze back to him with a hint of amusement.
This scene inexplicably stirred a sense of unease in Han Chentu.
However, amidst intense resentment and anger, he couldn't figure out why. More than anything, it was because he had been slapped countless times by Lin Xiuyuan, leaving his head still buzzing and unable to gather a coherent thought.
He had a vague sense of unease, which made him inexplicably fearful.
Overwhelmed by intense resentment, Han Chentu seemed to lose his ability to think, driven solely by rage. He roared with a ferocious expression, "You're dead! You're dead! Kneel down and beg for mercy! Kneel down and beg for mercy now..."
He then saw a cold glint flash in Lin Xiuyuan's eyes, and his right hand seemed to move slightly, which startled him. He stopped talking and took a few steps back.
Clearly, the numerous slaps Lin Xiuyuan had given him had left a shadow in his heart, and a sense of fear was rising within him.
Soon, the fear turned into astonishment and disbelief.
Han Chentu looked up at the sky and saw that the few streaks of light from the guards had circled over this place once before disappearing again.
This left Han Chentu stunned and utterly incredulous. At that moment, he finally realized that Lin Xiuyuan was undoubtedly a disciple of the Yunxiao Sect. Otherwise, what better explanation could there be?
Because these members of the arriving guard team were from the Cloud Soaring Sect...
This guess is probably pretty accurate.
