423: Beat up Chen Xinyue

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Yang Lingchen finally returned to Wentian Palace and went to the Mission Hall once again.

He turned in all the missions he had and successfully obtained over twenty thousand contribution points.

Twenty thousand contribution points seemed like a lot, but in reality, they couldn't be exchanged for many good things.

However, Yang Lingchen was in no hurry. The priority was to become an Outer Sect Disciple first; as for contribution points, he could slowly earn them by doing missions later.

“Little Fellow, did you really do these missions yourself?”

Gao Huoyang, the Elder of the Mission Hall, gave a warm smile. He was indeed curious; normally, it was impossible for a Utility Disciple to complete these missions.

“Elder Gao, these missions were indeed completed by this Disciple,” Yang Lingchen said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.

“Eh! Good boy, your cultivation level has actually broken through to the Void Spirit Realm.”

A look of surprise appeared in Gao Huoyang's eyes. Only now did he notice that Yang Lingchen's cultivation level had actually reached the Void Spirit Realm.

“While this Disciple was out on missions, I was lucky enough to encounter a Kongling Fruit, which led to the Breakthrough,” Yang Lingchen said, cupping his hands.

“Ha... ha... ha... then your luck is truly good, kid.” Gao Huoyang stroked his beard and smiled approvingly.

“If Elder Gao has no other matters, this Disciple will take his leave.” Yang Lingchen gave a polite bow.

“Go on, Little Fellow. It will be the beginning of the month in two days. Remember to go to the Outer Sect Assessment Hall then, otherwise you'll have to wait another month to become an Outer Sect Disciple.”

Gao Huoyang gave a reminder; he thought quite highly of Yang Lingchen.

“Thank you, Elder Gao.” Yang Lingchen politely cupped his hands and then walked out of the Mission Hall.

Labor Courtyard.

“Slap...!”

“You bastard! Where on earth did that kid go?”

A young man with sharp eyes slapped Bald Strong hard across the face.

This sharp-eyed youth was none other than Chen Haonan, who had been beaten up by Yang Lingchen at the Mission Hall last time.

Standing beside Chen Haonan was a woman with a cold temperament, wearing a golden hairpin on her head.

Although this woman was beautiful, her gaze was extremely cold and her thin lips made her look very harsh; she clearly wasn't someone to be trifled with.

This beautiful woman was Chen Haonan's older sister, Chen Xinyue.

“Senior Brother Chen, have mercy! I really don't know where he went.”

Bald Strong lay on the ground, begging for mercy. By now, his entire face was swollen from the beating.

“Fine, if he doesn't know, then forget it. Getting beaten by a Utility Disciple is simply an embarrassment to This Young Lady,” Chen Xinyue said coldly.

“Sister, am I just supposed to let that kid hit me for nothing?” Chen Haonan said unwillingly.

“What else can you do? Do you expect me to stay here and wait with you?” Chen Xinyue glanced coldly at Chen Haonan.

Just then, Yang Lingchen walked into the Labor Courtyard.

“Little Bastard, you're finally back.”

Seeing Yang Lingchen's arrival, a sinister light flickered in Chen Haonan's eyes.

“He did the hitting?” Yang Lingchen helped Bald Strong up from the ground.

“Yes, Boss, why are you back? They're here to cause trouble for you,” Bald Strong said hurriedly.

“Wait here, I'll take care of him for you,” Yang Lingchen said.

As the boss, if his lackey was beaten, this grudge naturally had to be settled.

Furthermore, during these three months, Bald Strong had been very loyal to him; whenever there were any perks or benefits, he would deliver them to Yang Lingchen immediately.

“Stinky brat! You're the one who hit my brother?” Chen Xinyue looked coldly at Yang Lingchen with a high-and-mighty expression.

“I hit him, what of it?” Yang Lingchen sneered, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes.

He could tell that the opponent's cultivation was only around the sixth level of the Void Spirit Realm; he could handle this level of strength.

“Filthy servant, you're looking for death.” A flash of irritation crossed Chen Xinyue's face, her cold eyes filled with a trace of chilliness.

“Idiot!”

Yang Lingchen's eyes suddenly turned cold. He swung his right hand, carrying a sharp palm force, and slapped Chen Haonan across the face.

“Slap...!”

“Ah... ah... ah...!” Chen Haonan let out a shrill scream.

Even though he was prepared, he still had no power to resist Yang Lingchen's attack. He was sent flying by the slap, and his right cheek swelled up instantly.

“What audacity, you dare to strike in front of This Young Lady.”

Chen Xinyue's beautiful eyes turned cold. A long whip suddenly appeared in her hand, and she lashed out at Yang Lingchen in an instant.

Facing the incoming whip, Yang Lingchen suddenly grabbed forward with his right hand, catching the whip instantly. At the same time, he swung his left hand in another slap.

“Filthy servant, you have some skill.”

Chen Xinyue gave a cold shout and raised her hand in a palm strike, blasting towards Yang Lingchen's left hand.

“Boom...!”

With a loud bang, Yang Lingchen's figure retreated a few steps before coming to a halt.

Chen Xinyue also retreated several steps. Even the stone slabs on the ground were cracked by the force of her backward steps.

“If this is the extent of your strength while acting so arrogant, you won't even know how you died once you leave Wentian Palace,” Yang Lingchen said with a look of contempt on his face.

After that exchange, he could see that her strength was only so-so; it was far from being a threat to him.

“Filthy servant, if you have the guts, take another move from This Young Lady.”

A trace of ferocity appeared in Chen Xinyue's eyes. She lashed her whip again. The whip let out a whistling sound as if it were tearing through the air, striking heavily towards Yang Lingchen.

Yang Lingchen was not to be outdone; he swung his black cauldron to meet the attack.

“Boom...!”

With a loud bang, the black cauldron successfully blocked Chen Xinyue's whip.

At that moment, Yang Lingchen suddenly struck out with his right palm. This palm was like lightning, slamming heavily into Chen Xinyue's chest.

“Ah... ah... ah...!”

“Pfft...!”

Chen Xinyue screamed and spat out a mouthful of blood. She was sent flying, her neatly styled hair falling loose. She looked incredibly wretched.

“You filthy servant, you're dead! This Young Lady will definitely tear you into ten thousand pieces.”

A look of malice appeared in Chen Xinyue's eyes. From childhood until now, she had never suffered such a great loss.

“Bitch, if I don't show you some color, you'll really think you're somebody.”

A fierce light flashed in Yang Lingchen's eyes. He lunged directly at the fallen Chen Xinyue, intending to strip this foul woman naked and put her on public display.

“Stop!”

Just then, a loud shout came from the distance. A middle-aged man in black robes flew quickly towards them, landing in front of Yang Lingchen in an instant.

“Elder Wang.”

Seeing the middle-aged man's arrival, everyone hurriedly bowed in greeting.

It turned out this middle-aged man was Wang Xiaotian, an Elder of Xuanbing Peak.

“Chen Xinyue, Chen Haonan, what is going on? How dare you come to my Xuanbing Peak's Labor Courtyard to cause trouble?” Wang Xiaotian asked with a dark face.

“Elder Wang, this filthy servant injured my brother at the Mission Hall and stole his storage ring. I came here today to seek justice, and he actually injured me as well,” Chen Xinyue stood up and pointed at Yang Lingchen in anger.

“If he hit you, then he hit you. What more is there to say? As Outer Sect Disciples, you can't even beat a Utility Disciple. Aren't you ashamed?” Wang Xiaotian said with a cold face.

As an Elder of Xuanbing Peak, he naturally wouldn't help Disciples from other peaks bully Disciples under his own peak.

Even if Yang Lingchen was a Utility Disciple, he was still a Utility Disciple of Xuanbing Peak.

How could he allow Disciples from other peaks to come and insult them at will? If that were the case, what Disciples would be willing to join Xuanbing Peak in the future?

Of course, if Chen Xinyue and Chen Haonan were also Disciples of Xuanbing Peak, Wang Xiaotian wouldn't have bothered to intervene.

After all, as long as there were no major casualties, the higher-ups of Wentian Palace generally didn't interfere in conflicts between Disciples... To be continued!
