Ying Tianqing stared blankly at the old Taoist priest in the white robe. In his eyes, the old Taoist priest was no different from an idiot.
Lin Feng and Duan Liang also found it amusing, thinking that the old Taoist priest had no idea about Ying Tianqing's strength or status.
A mere Nascent Soul stage expert was nothing in Ying Tianqing's eyes!
"Old man, I advise you to bow your head and apologize, or you will die miserably later!"
Lin Feng said with a faint smile.
"Lin Feng, you want my master to bow his head and apologize to you? Do you even know your current predicament?"
Chen Fan chuckled, imagining Lin Feng and the others would soon be begging on their knees, pleading with his master and the other for their lives.
"Kid, what is our predicament? You mean your master is more powerful than us, and we're not worthy of speaking with him?"
Duan Liang's interest was piqued, and he taunted playfully.
"That's right, you are truly not worthy of speaking with my master."
"Today, I will let you die with understanding and formally introduce you to my master."
"My master is the Ghost Valley Immortal Master, whose strength has reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage. With just a slight move, he has reached the limit of this realm!"
"Even if all of you trash combined are not enough for my master to crush!"
"Lin Feng, you should be trembling now, regretting ever being my enemy!"
"Now, I'll give you a chance to live. Kneel on the ground and kowtow to me a hundred times, and from then on, become our master and disciple's servants, otherwise, you will all pay with your lives!"
Chen Fan spoke with arrogance, looking at Lin Feng and the others as if they were ants.
All because he had a master with Nascent Soul stage strength to back him up!
This was Chen Fan's confidence and capital to look down on everyone.
"Oh dear, you've truly terrified this old Taoist! To think he's at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, this old Taoist admits defeat!"
Duan Liang put on a frightened expression to tease Chen Fan and his master.
"You know to fear, why aren't you quickly kneeling and begging for mercy!"
"Return the Wordless Heavenly Book of my Ghost Valley lineage to this Immortal Master!"
The old Taoist priest in the white robe commanded, his hands behind his back.
Lin Feng shook his head. "It can't be returned. The Heavenly Book has already been burned to ashes."
"Burned to ashes?"
"Who did this?"
The old Taoist priest in the white robe clenched his fists, making cracking sounds. His white robe fluttered without wind.
The courtyard, which was originally calm and peaceful, was now swept by howling winds as the old Taoist priest's anger grew.
A Nascent Soul stage expert could summon wind and rain with a single divine thought.
Such methods were beyond Lin Feng and Duan Liang.
"I did it! But if you want to settle the score with me, you'll have to ask if my big brother agrees first!"
Duan Liang stepped forward fearlessly.
"Your big brother? Is your big brother also a Nascent Soul stage fellow Taoist?"
The old Taoist priest in the white robe noticed that Duan Liang was also a cultivator. Duan Liang was already this old, so his big brother must be someone with a cultivation period not weaker than his.
"The Nascent Soul stage is not even as good as a dog in my big brother's eyes, and he is standing right in front of you. You even called him a brat just now!"
Duan Liang pointed at the gloomy Ying Tianqing, inwardly delighted.
Originally, he and Lin Feng had planned to try and deal with Chen Fan and his master.
But now, seeing that they were Great Perfection Nascent Soul stage experts, they would have to risk their lives to fight them.
Fortunately, Ying Tianqing was present.
The old Taoist priest in the white robe was indeed unlucky to have provoked Ying Tianqing himself, saving Lin Feng and Duan Liang the trouble.
Thinking about it made him feel secretly smug and amused!
The old Taoist priest in the white robe had no idea who Ying Tianqing was.
He now felt like he was being played for a fool by Duan Liang and the others. Not only were they not afraid of him, but they were also treating him like an idiot.
Since that was the case, he could only let them feel the wrath of a Nascent Soul stage expert!
With this thought, the old Taoist priest in the white robe said to Chen Fan beside him, "Xiao Fan, you step back first. Your master is about to make a move. Stay far away to avoid being accidentally injured."
Chen Fan's face lit up, and he quickly retreated a long distance.
"Lin, you refused to kneel and beg for mercy, and now my master is filled with murderous intent, all of you will die!"
Chen Fan gloated, as if he could already see Lin Feng and the others being beaten into stray dogs in a sorry state.
"Brother Ying, this old idiot is too full of himself. Brother Duan Liang and I can't stand it anymore. You deal with him."
Lin Feng and Duan Liang also retreated, worried about being accidentally injured by the terrifying power unleashed by Ying Tianqing.
"Brat, you truly have backbone. Facing this Immortal Master's wrath, you remain calm and composed. Are you scared silly, or do you truly not fear this Immortal Master?"
The old Taoist priest in the white robe saw Ying Tianqing standing still, like a statue, and felt perplexed.
"Old fellow, I disdain to bicker with an ant like you, and you've become even more presumptuous. Have I truly been dormant for too long? Even a brain-damaged person like you dares to arrogantly provoke me?"
Ying Tianqing stared at the old Taoist priest in the white robe, feeling a strange emotion.
Ten thousand years ago, within the Three Realms, no one dared to disrespect him.
As he walked through heaven and earth, countless people prostrated themselves, revering him as they would a god.
Ten thousand years have passed, and a mere Nascent Soul stage trash dares to insult and challenge him. Has he become so "approachable" now?
"Provoke you? What do you think you are?"
"This Immortal Master will now let you know the gap between you and this Immortal Master!"
The old Taoist priest in the white robe said fiercely, and with a wave of his hand, a vast and oppressive killing intent rushed towards Ying Tianqing.
This killing intent was like a sharp blade that could cut through everything. Wherever it passed, dust turned into nothingness.
With this mere aura, a living person could be shredded into a bloody mist.
Lin Feng and Duan Liang felt their hearts tremble upon sensing this terrifying killing intent.
The Nascent Soul stage was truly powerful. Compared to them, it was a world of difference.
Duan Liang, being in the Nascent Soul stage, felt he was already quite strong.
Now, facing the old Taoist priest in the white robe, Duan Liang truly realized the vast difference between the Nascent Soul stage and the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage.
For cultivators like them, each higher realm meant an exponential increase in power.
"Hahaha!"
Chen Fan burst into laughter, proud of his master's earth-shattering and ghost-crying power.
In his eyes, Lin Feng and the others were just small ants to be slaughtered at his master's will, without any power to resist.
The old Taoist priest in the white robe also looked contemptuously. In his eyes, Ying Tianqing had already turned into a bloody mist.
However, as the killing intent engulfed Ying Tianqing, he remained standing perfectly intact.
He looked as if nothing had happened, completely unharmed by the killing intent.
Instead, he stared at the old Taoist priest in the white robe with disdain.
"How can this be? My killing intent is useless against you? Could it be that you have some kind of secret treasure protecting you?"
The old Taoist priest in the white robe showed a confused expression.
This had never happened before. Anyone engulfed by his killing intent would instantly turn into a bloody mist and evaporate.
Yet, Ying Tianqing was completely unharmed. This was unscientific!
"Old fellow, do I need a magic treasure to protect myself against you?"
"Your attacks are not even as good as an itch to this Venerable. Are you still foolishly thinking that your Nascent Soul stage is impressive in this Venerable's eyes?"
Ying Tianqing said with a laugh.
