"Something's wrong! Someone's causing trouble at the mountain gate!"
The two disciples rushed back, but tripped and fell at the door, looking quite disheveled.
Yuan Xingtian quickly went over and helped them up, asking, "What happened? Who's causing trouble?"
"It's the Kaishan Sect. There are about ten of them. Ah Shan and Xiao Peng are still arguing with them down the mountain," the man said breathlessly.
"People from the Kaishan Sect?" Yuan Xingtian frowned, then immediately rushed down to the mountain gate.
The others, belatedly realizing what was happening, stopped drinking the soup and hurriedly followed, forming a large group of more than a dozen people who headed down the mountain together.
"The Founding Sect..."
Upon hearing this name, Bai Hao frowned slightly.
This Kaishan Sect is not one of the surrounding sects, but rather a sect located in another deep mountain more than sixty miles away. It is also the only sect within a hundred miles, apart from the Shenxuan Sect.
The Kaishan Sect is significantly stronger than the Shenxuan Sect. Its sect leader, Mo Shan, is a mid-stage Breakthrough Realm expert, and it also has an elder at the early Breakthrough Realm. The remaining disciples are also formidable, with five at the peak of Foundation Establishment, three more than the Shenxuan Sect.
In almost every other aspect, they were superior to the Divine Profound Sect.
However, because the two sects are far apart, although neither of them has any goodwill towards the other, they usually don't have many conflicts and generally keep to themselves.
But now that the people from the Kaishan Sect are actually causing trouble, there's clearly something wrong with them.
Just then, Chen Xuan had some business to attend to and went to the back mountain, so he wasn't there. Only Zhao Lin went down with Yuan Xingtian and the others.
"When the sect leader returns, remember to tell him to come down." After instructing the two disciples, Bai Hao also walked towards the mountain gate below.
...
At the foot of the mountain.
The Kaishan Sect members had already started fighting with the three Shenxuan Sect disciples who were sweeping snow at the foot of the mountain gate. Because of the large number of people, the three disciples were being overwhelmed by the Kaishan Sect members.
"Hey, what are you doing? Stop!"
Yuan Xingtian led a dozen men down the mountain. Seeing that they were actually fighting, he shouted from afar and quickly surrounded them.
Seeing their reinforcements arrive, the disciples of the Kaishan Sect immediately stopped fighting, pushed aside, spread out their formation, and adopted a defensive stance, seemingly still intending to fight Yuan Xingtian and his group.
"What are you doing? Are you trying to provoke everyone?!" Seeing the three disciples with bruises and swelling on their faces, Yuan Xingtian couldn't take it anymore. With his fiery temper, he almost rushed up and started fighting with them.
However, Zhao Lin stopped them, first pulling the three injured disciples back, then coldly scrutinizing the Kaishan Sect disciples before her, and said, "What does your Kaishan Sect mean by this? Coming to our sect to cause trouble?"
These people were all disciples of the Kaishan Sect; there were no elders present. Although two of them were clearly at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, Zhao Lin was not afraid.
As long as the elders and sect leader Mo Shan of the Kaishan Sect don't come, Zhao Lin won't be afraid of them on Shenxuan Sect's territory.
"What, you call for backup when you can't beat them?" One of the two peak Foundation Establishment disciples from the Kaishan Sect stepped forward and said dismissively, his gaze sweeping over Zhao Lin and the others with disdain.
Upon seeing the man, Zhao Lin's beautiful eyes suddenly turned cold. Even though she was usually very good-tempered and gentle, a hint of icy coldness crept into her words at this moment.
"I know you, Lin Shan, the senior brother of the Kaishan Sect. What's wrong with you people from the Kaishan Sect causing trouble on our territory? You're quite self-righteous, aren't you?"
“I know you too, Zhao Lin, the senior sister of the Divine Profound Sect. How about we have a match?” Lin Shan didn’t care about Zhao Lin’s cold words at all, and even whistled loudly.
"Lin Shan, this is not your Kai Shan Sect's territory. If you don't give a reasonable explanation for why you injured our Shen Xuan Sect's disciples, we will not let this matter rest!" Yuan Xingtian couldn't help but roar. He was so angry at Lin Shan's arrogant attitude that he wished he could rush up and pull out his teeth right now!
"You think you can take on me, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator? Dream on." Lin Shan glanced contemptuously at Yuan Xingtian, shook his head in boredom, and then turned his gaze back to Zhao Lin, saying calmly:
"For the sake of this beautiful lady, I'll be frank. I've heard that your Divine Profound Sect has a lot of demon beast meat hidden away, and we've come today to borrow some to take back and have a taste."
Although he said he was borrowing it, Lin Shan's tone was not like someone borrowing something. Instead, he spoke as if it were a matter of course, as if the Divine Profound Sect was obligated to give them some demon beast meat.
Zhao Lin's eyes flashed with indifference as she said calmly, "First of all, all the demonic beast meat in our sect belongs to us; there's no such thing as hiding it. Secondly, you came to our door and even injured our people. Do you think we would lend you any demonic beast meat?"
Lin Shan and his group came out with such an arrogant attitude. If they weren't so strong, Yuan Xingtian and his group would have already attacked them, beaten them up, made them admit their mistakes, and then talked about other things.
"Oh, Miss Zhao, don't misunderstand. We're not here to discuss things with you, much less to beg you. We're here to ask you for something. You'd better be sensible, otherwise..."
Lin Shan didn't say what he was going to say next, but his face suddenly darkened. Immediately, the others also got into fighting stances, ready to rush up and fight Yuan Xingtian and his group at any moment.
"Are you threatening our Divine Profound Sect? Are you trying to make an enemy of our Divine Profound Sect? Are you sure your sect leader agrees to this?" Zhao Lin frowned.
"Whether our sect leader agrees or not is none of your concern. You should worry about yourselves first!"
Lin Shan's face was contorted with rage. He stomped his foot and charged forward with his palm raised.
Zhao Lin frowned tightly, took a step forward, and struck out with her palm.
"boom!"
The two palms collided, immediately creating a wave of air.
The Divine Profound Sect cultivates the Profound Fist, while the Mountain Opening Sect cultivates the Mountain Opening Fist. These are two different styles of fist fighting, which is also the reason why the two sects are hostile to each other.
"The Mysterious Fist of the Divine Profound Sect, I'll see how capable you are today!" Lin Shan's expression gradually turned ferocious, and his hand movements became increasingly sharp.
But Zhao Lin was not to be outdone, and the two went back and forth, with neither able to gain the upper hand for a time.
As the two of them started fighting, the others couldn't hold back any longer, especially Yuan Xingtian, who was seething with anger and charged ahead of the Kaishan Sect members!
A chaotic battle involving two sects and more than twenty people has begun!
