"So the guards have all left... Heh, they really are disciples of a major sect!"
"As expected, my guess was right, they really are disciples of the Cloud Soaring Sect."
"That's normal. What ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator would dare to slap Han Chentu in the street? Especially in Pingshan City. Only disciples of the Yunxiao Sect or those top forces in Yunmeng Daze would dare to do that!"
Upon seeing this, the surrounding crowd all revealed expressions of "I knew it!"
They didn't feel anything about it, and most of them even sided with Lin Xiuyuan. They had long been disgusted by this little tyrant who relied on his family background to be arrogant and domineering. If this were outside, the 60-70% of the cultivators gathered here would probably choose to take action and kill him.
As for this scene of breaking the rules, it can only be ignored even if it is witnessed.
Although martial arts are prohibited in Pingshan City, this does not apply to the city's behind-the-scenes overlord.
Every cultivator who enters the world of cultivation understands one thing very well: in the world of cultivation, the strong are respected, and the weak are like ants.
Isn't this scene right now the best illustration of that?
"Junior brother, this is Pingshan City after all. It's not appropriate to act in this way. Let's stop here while we're ahead, lest we cause controversy. Our sect built this city ultimately for our own benefit!"
Before those streaks of light swirling in the air departed, a whispered message reached Lin Xiuyuan's ears.
Lin Xiuyuan cupped his hands in greeting to their retreating figures and nodded. By now, he had vented his anger enough and naturally wouldn't continue. This was about enough. He couldn't possibly kill Han Chentu; the consequences of that were something he couldn't bear.
If Han Chentu were really killed, his identity as a disciple of the Yunxiao Sect wouldn't be able to protect him!
Ultimately, not being a disciple of the main lineage, he naturally couldn't withstand the killing intent of a Golden Core cultivator, especially one at that level.
At this moment, Han Chentu remained silent, his face grim, standing there without uttering a word, only daring to cast a resentful glance.
He never expected that he would suffer such a huge setback at the hands of a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the early stages.
Although he was arrogant and domineering, and had a reputation as a local tyrant, he was, after all, a cultivator and not a fool.
The people he provokes are not particularly powerful or pose a life-threatening threat to him. For example, he avoids provoking those scions of aristocratic families. If it weren't for his long-standing feud with the Zhou family, he probably wouldn't act this way.
Despite the large number of people who dislike him, most of them are low-level cultivators, with only a small group of Foundation Establishment cultivators among them, and even those are cultivators with no background whatsoever.
Otherwise, as a cultivator with keen intelligence, he would not make enemies everywhere. Although he was arrogant and domineering and provoked many people, none of them posed a threat to him.
Once he breaks through to the Foundation Establishment stage, with the protective treasure given to him by his ancestor, these hidden threats will be no problem at all.
However, his hope of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage was not high... Therefore, the despair and pain on his path gradually led to a somewhat distorted mentality, which is why he was so arrogant and domineering, only seeking to enjoy himself and the benefits brought by his family background, which he considered to have lived a worthwhile life.
But unexpectedly, I suffered a major setback today!
At first glance, Lin Xiuyuan was clearly just an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, merely a member of the Zhou family's maternal relatives... Everything that followed happened so fast that he didn't have time to react, and in the blink of an eye, things had reached this point...
Although Han Chentu dared not provoke Lin Xiuyuan again due to some fear, such humiliation and public humiliation made the resentment in his eyes grow stronger, and his killing intent reached its peak. He looked at Lin Xiuyuan with extreme resentment.
Lin Xiuyuan, however, didn't care at all. He even sneered and said indifferently, "Remember, in the cultivation world, the strong are always respected. How dare a mere Qi Refining cultivator provoke a Foundation Establishment expert? In any other place, you would have died a hundred times over. Family background is all meaningless. Today, I will teach you this lesson on behalf of your elders!"
After saying that, Lin Xiuyuan was about to leave. Seeing that Han Chentu had suppressed him and dared not speak, he gave him a beating to vent his anger, and that was enough.
After all, this was Pingshan City, where the other party's family background was far too powerful. It was merely a superficial injury, not life-threatening or causing irreversible damage. Given his status as a disciple of the Yunxiao Sect, it was not a problem.
Otherwise, he would really have had a hard time leaving Pingshan City.
After seeing Lin Xiuyuan leave, Han Chentu didn't dare to make any rash moves for a moment, feeling a bit apprehensive. Only after Lin Xiuyuan's figure disappeared from sight did he immediately take out the communication jade slip.
However, he immediately paused, looked around, and roared, "What...what are you looking at? Hurry up and give me the sea!"
The crowd gathered around looked rather grim upon seeing this, but unlike Lin Xiuyuan, they dared not do anything. They could only gradually disperse, intimidated by the imposing presence of the "Little Tyrant of Pingshan City."
But amidst the chaos, someone whispered, "With a pig's head and a lisp, he can still be arrogant? Heh, why wasn't he so arrogant just now?"
This remark drew continuous laughter from the crowd.
These laughs were extremely grating, like sharp blades constantly piercing Han Chentu's ears, making him feel incredibly angry, and a wave of shame and resentment kept crashing over him.
However, he couldn't find out who was saying these words, and the veins on his face were bulging with anger, which made him gasp and feel excruciating pain.
He had no choice but to give up on pursuing the matter. He glanced at the jade slip in his hand angrily, but finding nothing, he focused his attention on the communication jade slip in his hand, his killing intent and resentment taking over...
"This little guy is really interesting. He's quite bold. He seems a bit angry and impulsive, but in reality, he planned every step carefully. In the end, he didn't kill that little punk. He only suffered some minor injuries, which are nothing to worry about. This person is indeed extraordinary. He has remarkable skills and an excellent mind. It seems that I was right to give him this token out of turn!"
Upstairs in Wanbaolou, a plump and curvaceous woman looked in the direction Lin Xiu had gone and couldn't help but smile. A hint of admiration flashed in her beautiful almond-shaped eyes.
