721: Li Tianyang's scheming

"Sister Tiantian, what are you saying?"

Qiao Yanxi's pretty face flushed red, and she quickly explained, "This kid was almost raped by a Sky-Swallowing Fire Bird just now. Luckily, I arrived in time to save his life."

"So that's what happened. Handsome young man, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."

Ji Tiantian smiled charmingly, then cast a slightly aggressive glance at Yang Lingchen.

"It's alright, ladies, you two chat. I'll take my leave first."

After Yang Lingchen put on his clothes, he cupped his fists at the two women, then turned and left the scene.

"This kid is not simple. At such a young age, his cultivation has already reached the Seventh Layer of True Immortal Realm," Ji Tiantian said, looking at Yang Lingchen's retreating figure.

"His talent is good, but his self-control is too poor," Qiao Yanxi said, shaking her head.

"Isn't that normal? Faced with beauty, which man can remain indifferent?" Ji Tiantian said.

"But that was a Sky-Swallowing Fire Bird!" Qiao Yanxi said, annoyed.

"That was just a normal physiological reaction for him. At this Realm of cultivation, there's actually no difference between Yao Race and humans. Faced with beauty, how many men can resist?" Ji Tiantian said with a smile.

"Sister Tiantian, shouldn't we head back now? We've been out for more than half a year," Qiao Yanxi said.

"It is time to go back. The Tianxin Grand Competition is only two years away, and we should start preparing," Ji Tiantian said.

"Yes! This time, we must achieve a good ranking and strive for the opportunity to join Tianxin Academy," Qiao Yanxi nodded and said.

Subsequently, the two women also flew towards the Fenxian Pavilion.

After ten days of travel, Yang Lingchen finally returned to Lanxian Sect.

"Stinky brat! I thought you had escaped!"

Just as Yang Lingchen walked into Lanxian Sect, a cold voice rang out.

A young man dressed in Inner Sect Disciple robes stood in front of Yang Lingchen.

This young man in Inner Sect Disciple robes was Li Xiaoxun, an Inner Sect Disciple from South Heaven Peak, and his Revered Master was Li Tianyang, Li Yaohui's grand-uncle.

"Look quickly, there's a good show. Li Xiaoxun is blocking Yang Lingchen."

"This Li Xiaoxun is too shameless! A dignified Inner Sect Disciple actually runs to bully an Outer Sect Disciple."

"That's right! This Li Xiaoxun is too brazen. Yang Lingchen is probably in for a hard time this time."

For a moment, the surrounding Disciples began to discuss animatedly.

"A good dog doesn't block the road." Yang Lingchen coldly glanced at Li Xiaoxun.

The opponent's cultivation was only the Second Layer of Profound Immortal Realm. With his current strength, he naturally wouldn't put the opponent in his eyes.

"Such an arrogant kid. Since you're so reckless, I'll cripple your Dantian today and let you taste what it's like to be crippled by others."

Li Xiaoxun snorted coldly, his figure instantly transforming into a bolt of lightning, striking out a fierce Fist Aura towards Yang Lingchen. The Fist Aura carried a violent wave of Qi, as if it wanted to create an air storm.

"Since you insist on being a dog, I'll break all five of your dog legs." A fierce glint flashed in Yang Lingchen's eyes.

The haotian cudgel instantly appeared in his hand, then he smashed it towards Li Xiaoxun with lightning speed.

The powerful cudgel aura whistled, and the surrounding air seemed to be stirred up. It brought a flash of dazzling light and instantly smashed onto Li Xiaoxun's punching right hand.

"Crack!"

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

As a crisp sound of bone breaking rang out, Li Xiaoxun let out a tragic scream, his face instantly contorted with pain.

The bones of his right hand were shattered on the spot, and blood continuously seeped from his elbow.

"Bang... bang... bang... bang...!"

Yang Lingchen gave the opponent no chance to retaliate. He swung the haotian cudgel in a frenzy.

"Crack... crack... crack...!"

As a series of crisp bone-breaking sounds rang out, in an instant, all five of Li Xiaoxun's limbs were completely shattered, and even his Dantian was thoroughly crippled by Yang Lingchen.

"Ah...! Yang Lingchen, you'll die a terrible death."

Li Xiaoxun's eyes were filled with despair.

He really couldn't understand why Yang Lingchen's strength was so terrifying.

One must know that before this, Yang Lingchen's cultivation was only the Fifth Layer of True Immortal Realm. Yet, only a little over a month had passed, and his cultivation had actually reached the Seventh Layer of True Immortal Realm. This terrifying rate of improvement was simply too frightening!

Silence! The scene was completely silent!

At this moment, everyone showed looks of shock, because Yang Lingchen's ability to challenge those above his Realm had refreshed their understanding of a Genius.

One must know that the later one's cultivation Realm, the more difficult it was to challenge those above one's Realm. Yet, Yang Lingchen was able to defeat Li Xiaoxun, who was at the Second Layer of Profound Immortal Realm, while he was at the Seventh Layer of True Immortal Realm. This kind of Heaven-Defying combat power was extremely rare.

After crippling Li Xiaoxun, Yang Lingchen quickly flew towards Jade Maiden Peak. I don't want to be taken away by the Law Enforcement Hall later. After all, crippling someone's cultivation is subject to severe punishment.

But as long as he returned to Jade Maiden Peak, no one would dare to trouble him. After all, Jade Maiden Peak was not to be trifled with, especially the Peak Revered Master, Chu Yuechan, who was famously protective of her Disciples. Anyone who dared to cause trouble at Jade Maiden Peak would definitely suffer a terrible fate.

Moreover, Yang Lingchen was also protected by Xia Qingyue, so as long as he returned to Jade Maiden Peak, his safety would be completely guaranteed.

At the same time, the news of Yang Lingchen crippling Li Xiaoxun's five limbs spread throughout the entire Lanxian Sect in the first instance.

"Did you hear? That Yang Lingchen just crippled Li Xiaoxun."

"Li Xiaoxun was crippled? Is that true?"

"Of course it's true."

"Who is that Yang Lingchen? Why haven't I heard of him?"

"A new Disciple. He was a Utility Disciple some time ago, but now he has been accepted as an Outer Sect Disciple by Jade Maiden Peak."

"He was a Utility Disciple before? Impossible, right? Li Xiaoxun is an Inner Sect Disciple, how could he have been crippled by him? What is Yang Lingchen's cultivation Realm?"

"You might not believe it, but this kid's cultivation was only at the Fifth Layer of True Immortal Realm a month ago. At that time, his combat power was already comparable to Eastern Sword, who was at the First Layer of Profound Immortal Realm. But now, only a little over a month has passed, and his cultivation has actually reached the Seventh Layer of True Immortal Realm. Don't you think this terrifying rate of improvement is outrageous?"

For a time, the legend of Yang Lingchen spread throughout the Outer Sect and Inner Sect of Lanxian Sect.

South Heaven Peak, Li Tianyang's residence.

"Clang...!"

"This is outrageous!"

Li Tianyang heavily smashed the teacup in his hand onto the ground. His face was extremely gloomy, and a cold Killing Intent emanated from his body.

For countless years, Li Tianyang had never been so furious.

"Revered Master, you must avenge me!" At this moment, Li Xiaoxun lay on a stretcher, his face filled with despair. He knew his life was over.

"Grand-uncle, we absolutely cannot let this kid off," Li Yaohui, whose cultivation had been crippled, said.

"Useless! You can't even deal with a mere True Immortal Realm cultivator. Do I have to personally take action against a Junior like him?" Li Tianyang coldly swept a glance at Li Yaohui and Li Xiaoxun.

With his status, he naturally wouldn't personally go to Jade Maiden Peak to demand someone, as that would be too demeaning.

"A-You, go to the Law Enforcement Hall. See what they say! Make sure they enforce the law impartially and give my South Heaven Peak an explanation," Li Tianyang turned to look at a Steward.

His goal was very clear: to use the Law Enforcement Hall to apprehend Yang Lingchen, and then find an opportunity to accuse Yang Lingchen of a crime.

By then, he could openly cripple Yang Lingchen's cultivation.

"Yes, Elder Li." Sun Tianyou respectfully responded, then withdrew.

"Little Bastard! Dare to cripple my people, no one can save you."

A sinister Killing Intent flashed in Li Tianyang's eyes.

Li Yaohui was his brother's descendant, and Li Xiaoxun was a Disciple he favored. Now that both of them had been crippled, it showed how deep his hatred for Yang Lingchen was.
