447: The assertive Yang Lingchen.

Yang Lingchen and Nan Yuxiang ate a meal at the Medicinal Cuisine Hall, and their relationship grew closer.

From their interaction, Yang Lingchen could tell that Nan Yuxiang was a very loyal person.

He had a good impression of people like this; at the very least, they weren't malicious and clearly distinguished between gratitude and grievance.

Afterward, Yang Lingchen bid farewell to Lan Yuxiang and went to the Treasure Pavilion again.

Now that he had a large amount of contribution points, he naturally needed to exchange them for medicinal ingredients.

"Brother Yang, I finally found you."

Just as Yang Lingchen was about to enter the Treasure Pavilion, the voice of Yi Xiaofeng came from afar.

"Senior Brother Yi, what can I do for you?" Yang Lingchen cupped his fist in greeting.

"It's like this: my Revered Master used the Medicinal Pill you refined, and the effect was very obvious, so he specifically asked me to bring you these two Pill Formulas."

Yi Xiaofeng took out two handwritten Pill Formulas from his storage ring and handed them to Yang Lingchen.

"Heavenly Net Pill, detoxification pill."

When he saw the names on the two handwritten Pill Formulas, a trace of joy appeared in Yang Lingchen's eyes.

He hadn't expected Dugu Han to actually give him two Heavenly Net Realm Pill Formulas.

One must know that the value of a Heavenly Net Realm Pill Formula far exceeded that of a Void Spirit Realm Pill Formula.

"Senior Brother Yi, please thank Senior Dugu on my behalf." Yang Lingchen thanked him and took the Pill Formulas.

"Brother Yang, you're too kind. I will certainly relay your message," Yi Xiaofeng said with a smile.

After the two exchanged a few more pleasantries, Yang Lingchen entered the Treasure Pavilion.

Afterward, he exchanged his contribution points at the Treasure Pavilion for a large amount of medicinal ingredients and some things he could use.

Just as Yang Lingchen walked out of the Treasure Pavilion, a black-clothed man approached him.

Without saying a word, the black-clothed man immediately struck a palm toward Yang Lingchen's chest.

Facing the black-clothed man's sudden attack, Yang Lingchen's Movement Technique flashed instantly, narrowly avoiding the blow.

"Who are you?" Yang Lingchen asked coldly.

"You don't need to know who I am. You only need to know that starting today, every time this old man sees you, he will hit you." Black Cloud's voice was chillingly cold, giving off a spine-tingling feeling.

"Hit me every time you see me? I'm afraid you don't have the capability." A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Yang Lingchen's eyes.

Although the black-clothed man didn't state his name, Yang Lingchen guessed that the opponent was most likely Xu Shaotang's subordinate, as he had only offended Tan Shaodu and Xu Shaotang so far.

Yang Lingchen knew that given Tan Shaodu's strength, it was impossible for him to only send someone at the Third Level of the Celestial Net Realm to deal with him.

"Quick, look! There's a good show starting!"

"Holy crap, isn't that Yang Lingchen?"

"I can't believe Xu Shaotang actually sent Black Cloud. Yang Lingchen is in trouble this time."

At that moment, many onlookers gathered at the scene, but none dared to get too close, as no one wanted to be caught in the crossfire.

"Stinky brat, what arrogance! Today, this old man will let you know just how big the gap is between an Outer Sect Disciple and an Inner Sect Disciple!"

After Black Cloud finished speaking, his right hand transformed into a claw and instantly grabbed toward Yang Lingchen.

"Go to hell!"

A fierce light flashed in Yang Lingchen's eyes. The dragon que sword suddenly appeared, and a sword light instantly slashed toward Black Cloud's claw.

The opponent's cultivation level was clearly much higher than his, so he used a killing move right away, leaving no room for error.

Unlike Yang Lingchen's ruthless methods, Black Cloud held back slightly when attacking. After all, this was inside the Sect, and if he killed someone, he would face consequences.

Facing Yang Lingchen's fierce Sword Qi, a trace of fear flashed in Black Cloud's eyes. He could feel that this Sword Qi posed a great threat to him. At the critical moment, he quickly withdrew his hand.

However, Black Cloud's movement was ultimately a step too slow.

"Chh!"

With a sound of "Chh," the Sword Qi instantly sliced across his wrist, and a palm immediately fell to the ground.

"Ah... ah... ah...!"

"Little Bastard, you're courting death." Black Cloud roared, holding his sword in his left hand, and instantly slashed toward Yang Lingchen.

At this moment, he was completely enraged. He hadn't expected that due to a moment of carelessness, he would suffer such a huge loss at the hands of an Outer Sect Disciple.

"If you want me dead, you're not qualified."

Yang Lingchen sneered. He leaped up, swinging the dragon que sword in his hand. It carried a dazzling light, as if intending to tear the Void Realm apart, and instantly swept toward Black Cloud's neck.

Facing the Sword Qi slashing down from the air, Black Cloud neither dodged nor avoided it. He swung his battle sword again, meeting Yang Lingchen's blade.

"Clang... Clang... Clang...!"

The crisp sound of metal colliding rang out, and the two immediately began a life-and-death struggle above Wentian Palace.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of moves passed, and Yang Lingchen gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Although Black Cloud had lost a wrist, it didn't significantly affect his combat effectiveness, especially since he was an Inner Sect Disciple at the Third Level of the Celestial Net Realm.

However, even though Yang Lingchen was at a disadvantage, it was absolutely impossible for Black Cloud to kill him.

Even if Yang Lingchen didn't summon Nie Xiaoyu, if he wanted to leave, Black Cloud wouldn't be able to catch him.

"Stop."

Just then, a majestic shout came from afar, followed immediately by a middle-aged man with a cold aura appearing on the scene.

The person who arrived was none other than Outer Sect Law Enforcement Elder Su Mingxiang.

"How audacious! Do you still have the Sect rules in your eyes?" Su Mingxiang shouted loudly.

"Elder Su, this Stinky brat is treacherous and cunning. As a Senior Brother, I originally intended to teach him a lesson, but who knew he would suddenly use a killing move and directly cripple this Disciple's wrist."

Black Cloud's eyes were filled with bloodthirsty killing intent.

At this moment, he wished he could tear Yang Lingchen into ten thousand pieces. As an Inner Sect Disciple, having his wrist severed by an Outer Sect Disciple—if this got out, it would be a huge joke.

"What a malicious Stinky brat! How dare you sneak attack an Inner Sect Disciple without cause? Do you know your mistake?" Su Mingxiang looked coldly at Yang Lingchen.

"Elder Su, do you have evidence to prove I sneak attacked him?" Yang Lingchen said coldly, seeing clearly that the opponent was obviously favoring Black Cloud.

"Stinky brat, are you questioning this Seat's judgment?" Su Mingxiang's face gradually darkened.

"So what if I question you?"

Yang Lingchen sneered disdainfully and said, "Do you think that just because you are a mere Outer Sect Law Enforcement Elder, you can act recklessly and frame whoever you want?"

He had already made up his mind: if the opponent dared to attack him, he would immediately have Nie Xiaoyu eliminate them.

Given Nie Xiaoyu's strength, she was absolutely invincible in Wentian Palace.

"What an arrogant Stinky brat! How dare you contradict a Law Enforcement Elder! Today, this Venerable One will cripple your cultivation level."

Su Mingxiang sneered grimly, then launched a punch into the air. The fierce Fist Aura, carrying an invisible wave of Qi, instantly charged toward Yang Lingchen.

"Su Mingxiang, my Xuanbing Peak Disciple is not for you to attack."

Just then, a figure with a powerful aura suddenly appeared in front of Yang Lingchen.

"Boom... Boom... Boom...!"

Following a violent crash, Su Mingxiang's figure was forced back dozens of steps before he finally stabilized himself.

"Wang Xiaotian, do you intend to obstruct this Seat from enforcing the law?"

Su Mingxiang's expression was extremely ugly. The collision just now caused his Qi and blood to churn, and he nearly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Stop fucking showing off in front of this old man! It's not your turn to enforce the law against a Genius from my Xuanbing Peak. If you dare to attack a Disciple of my Xuanbing Peak again, don't blame this old man for being impolite."

Wang Xiaotian glanced coldly at Su Mingxiang, then pulled Yang Lingchen and flew toward Xuanbing Peak, completely ignoring Su Mingxiang.

"Wang Xiaotian, you wait."

Looking at Wang Xiaotian's retreating figure, cold killing intent flashed in Su Mingxiang's eyes.

The reason he targeted Yang Lingchen this time was primarily due to instructions from Xu Shaotang.

He originally thought he could cripple Yang Lingchen in one go, but unexpectedly, Wang Xiaotian ruined his plan at the critical moment.

Of course, normally Xu Shaotang would not be qualified to make an Outer Sect Law Enforcement Elder do things for him.

The reason Su Mingxiang was willing to work for Xu Shaotang was mainly because Xu Shaotang's father was the Sect's Grand Elder.

One must know that the authority of Wentian Palace's Grand Elder was second only to the Palace Master and the Grand Elder, and his power was far beyond that of ordinary Elders.

For instance, the cultivation level of Outer Sect Elders was generally around the Ninth Level of the Heavenly Net Realm, while the cultivation level of Inner Sect Elders was around the First to Fifth Levels of the Xuanzun Realm.

As for Wentian Palace's Core Elders, their cultivation level had all reached above the Seventh Level of the Xuanzun Realm.

There are a total of ten Core Elders in Wentian Palace, and the Grand Elder is the head of the ten Core Elders.

From this, one can see how great the Grand Elder's power is.
