71: What is the strength of your Jinglei Pavilion?

“One Reaching the Profound, one Ru Xuan, and that Reaching the Profound old dog is someone we’re very familiar with… Zheng Dayi, Thunderclap Pavilion’s exclusive Dao Protector Elder.”

“I didn’t expect him to bully others by relying on his power in Thunderclap Pavilion, and he’s still the same after coming to Youzhou. A dog can’t change its habit of eating shit!”

“Later, I must trip him up and make sure he doesn’t have an easy time!”

Looking from afar, although she couldn’t recognize Xu Xi, Tang Wan remembered Zheng Dayi’s familiar appearance and the aura of his cultivation technique by heart.

Thunderclap Pavilion was considered a first-rate sect in Zhongzhou. Although Tang Wan was in the top-tier Purple Cloud Sect, she still paid attention to gathering intelligence.

In Thunderclap Pavilion, Zheng Dayi’s reputation was clearly not very good, which made Tang Wan want to trip him up.

As she drew closer, lightning gradually condensed at her fingertips, then shot out into the distance, interfering with Zheng Dayi’s movements.

“Who!?”

“To actually launch a sneak attack, hiding your head and showing your tail, don’t let me catch you!”

Zheng Dayi had been chasing Xu Xi, but he was also on guard against his surroundings. Suddenly, that tiny bolt of lightning shot towards his back. How could Zheng Dayi not notice it?

But he didn’t pay too much attention. Zheng Dayi was eager for the secret on Xu Xi’s body, so he just waved his hand, dispelling the lightning behind him, then let out a roar, signaling Tang Wan not to casually interfere with the conflict between him and Xu Xi.

Afterward, he once again fully pursued Xu Xi.

This secret, he, Zheng Dayi, was determined to get it. No one could stop him!

“Someone?”

In the distance, Xu Xi, who was struggling to escape, heard Zheng Dayi’s shout, and a desire to survive immediately flashed through his mind.

As long as someone else came to cause trouble, he would be able to escape from the tiger’s mouth next time.

And it was at the moment Zheng Dayi made his move that Xu Xi could clearly feel that the distance between him and Zheng Dayi had widened a little.

Glancing back, Xu Xi wanted to see who had arrived, someone so powerful as to dare to provoke an eighth-stage Reaching the Profound expert.

Unlike Zheng Dayi, Zheng Dayi simply didn’t look back, while Xu Xi, due to his lack of strength, couldn’t see Tang Wan who was chasing him.

He only saw Zheng Dayi’s fierce and menacing face as he rapidly approached him.

“Wait… Elder Tang, that looks like Xu Xi!”

“That familiar aura, I once fought him, I definitely won’t be mistaken!”

“But why is his aura Ru Xuan now?”

“Could it be that he is truly a Ru Xuan expert?”

“Did he also retain that much strength when fighting me? Terrifying!”

“It’s also quite reasonable, otherwise, Xu Xi wouldn’t be able to unleash detached sword qi.”

“What kind of profound technique to hide one’s aura is this?”

Looking from afar, Xu Xi had not recognized Tang Wan and Li Ning霜.

And Li Ning霜, relying on her 100 favorability points and a certain psychological suggestion given by the system, sensed Xu Xi’s aura from a distance, her face showing surprise.

Amidst her astonishment, Li Ning霜 never expected that Xu Xin actually possessed Ru Xuan strength.

“Xu Xi? How could it be him!”

At first glance, she hadn’t recognized Xu Xi, but now looking closely, Tang Wan truly felt there was some resemblance, especially the aura of Cán Xīn Sword Qi lingering on Xu Xi’s body.

“But… how did he provoke that old dog Zheng Dayi?”

“Even if he is Ru Xuan, that’s still somewhat like seeking death.”

“How many geniuses in Zhongzhou have wasted half their lives between Ru Xuan and Reaching the Profound, yet never managed to step across? No matter how monstrous Xu Xi is, how can he surpass that?”

Startled, Tang Wan then carefully sensed the aura Xu Xi emitted during his escape, and vaguely found it somewhat familiar.

After discovering it was Xu Xi, she couldn’t help but be surprised, and of course, amidst her shock, there was also a hint of reproach.

Of all people Xu Xi could provoke, he chose to provoke a Reaching the Profound expert. Did he really think every Reaching the Profound expert was as good-tempered as her?

Could she really just stand by and do nothing when her own disciple was being harassed?

“Purple Cloud Profound Lightning, edict!”

While complaining, she also didn’t forget to increase the intensity of her attack. This time, Tang Wan was serious. Those dozens of favorability points weren’t given for nothing.

She formed a hand seal, and a brilliant blue light flashed, lightning crackling and popping. Then, after coiling around Tang Wan’s fingertips, it struck Zheng Dayi with a roar.

“Madwoman!”

“People of Purple Cloud Sect, are you looking for trouble for no reason!?”

“Don’t think that just because you are a great alchemy sect, my Thunderclap Pavilion will be your dog for no reason. If it really comes to a fight, I’ll strip a layer of your skin!”

Zheng Dayi was chasing Xu Xi, and was initially disturbed by Tang Wan’s first lightning attack, but he hadn’t paid much attention.

Such an attack, Zheng Dayi could easily resolve, but Tang Wan’s next move was truly troublesome.

Although Purple Cloud Sect was renowned for alchemy in Zhongzhou, if they only knew alchemy, they would have been swindled out of everything long ago. How could they establish themselves in Zhongzhou, where experts gathered?

Unparalleled formidable combat power was the fundamental guarantee for Purple Cloud Sect to stand proudly in Zhongzhou.

As a Dao Protector Elder, Tang Wan was naturally among the top tier of eighth-stage Reaching the Profound experts.

Her Purple Cloud Profound Lightning, sharp and powerful, split everything in its path.

Even if Zheng Dayi’s Thunderclap Pavilion focused more on manipulating lightning, facing Tang Wan, he could only inflict eight hundred casualties while suffering a thousand himself, and would instantly perish there.

Now, Zheng Dayi’s grand words were only meant to make Tang Wan wary.

Both were Reaching the Profound experts. Even if Zheng Dayi couldn’t defeat Tang Wan, he could make her pay a heavy price. The Juefeng Secret Realm was about to open, and Tang Wan would never disregard this point just to stop him for revenge.

“Your pursuit of an enemy is of course none of my business.”

“But… if you’re chasing my friend, there’s no problem with me helping him, is there?”

“If you want to go head-to-head, feel free to try. The Profound Lightning in my hand is not to be trifled with.”

“It’s a good opportunity for me to see if Thunderclap Pavilion’s lightning techniques are truly as fierce and swift as the legends say, and who is superior compared to my Profound Lightning.”

Tang Wan didn’t care about Zheng Dayi’s threats.

The Purple Cloud Sect truly didn’t put a mere Thunderclap Pavilion in its eyes.

As long as they said the word, how many sects would be waiting to be Purple Cloud Sect’s guard dogs?

Although Thunderclap Pavilion had never been able to obtain elixirs from Purple Cloud Sect.

But, was it because he didn’t want them that he couldn’t get them?

It was because he didn’t have the ability, you know!

The Sect Master of Thunderclap Pavilion was only a ninth-stage Entering the Dao expert.

And the Sect Master of Purple Cloud Sect was a true tenth-stage Dao Conjoining expert.

Even in Zhongzhou, he was an existence that could cover the sky with one hand.

What qualifications did Thunderclap Pavilion have to be looked upon highly by Purple Cloud Sect?

A first-rate sect was, after all, only first-rate, and there was still a significant gap compared to the true top-tier forces of Zhongzhou.

“Heh, I’m saved…”

“But that old dog is determined to kill me. I’ll still wait for Tang Wan to slowly stall Zheng Dayi, and then I’ll take this time to circle around towards Tang Wan.”
