Chapter 333 Fight

Ancestor Xuanxuan said unhappily, "The acceptance of congratulatory gifts is handled by the steward. Please do as you see fit, young friend."

Zhou Qing said, "I insist that you accept this congratulatory gift in person."

Ancestor Xuanxuan frowned slightly. He sensed hostility in Zhou Qing's words, which made him realize that the junior in front of him was probably not an ordinary young person who did not know the rules, but someone who had come for a purpose.

But who in the entire Qionghua Continent would dare to harbor such ill will towards him?

The Ancestor Xuanxuan finally became serious and asked, "Oh, young friend, why don't you take out your gift and let me see it?"

Zhou Qing took out a storage bag from his pocket, shook it, and then a giant bell appeared at the edge of the platform. The loud sound of the bell hitting the ground echoed throughout the platform and the main hall.

The words resonated in the hearts of countless guests present, leaving everyone stunned.

The gift this guy prepared for Ancestor Xuanxuan was a giant bell. This is hardly a gift; it's clearly a provocation against the Ancestor!
Who exactly is this guy? Where did he get the audacity to do such a heinous thing?

The sound of the commotion exploded among the guests, and everyone began to discuss it.

Huang Long and Gu Zhuzi stared in disbelief at Cao Yang, saying, "Master Cao, this...this..."

Cao Yang and Zhou Qingxia stood up and said with a smile, "You two will know later."

After saying that, he stepped forward and stood on either side of Zhou Qing, facing the Xuanxuan Ancestor and the Nascent Soul True Monarchs outside the main hall.

There were more than thirty Nascent Soul True Monarchs there, including many supreme experts at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. Even Cao Yang, with his arrogance, couldn't help but feel nervous at this moment, not to mention Zhou Qingxia.

But when they saw Zhou Qing standing tall and straight in front of them, like a pillar in the middle of the stream, blocking the raging waves, his powerful aura immediately stirred up a sense of pride in their hearts.

Since returning from her injury that day, Zhou Qingxia had been depressed and listless. But now she suddenly felt that she had shaken off her gloom of the past few days. She felt that even if she and Zhou Qing died here today, it would be a life well-lived.

Seeing their posture, all the cultivators present understood immediately that these three were there to cause trouble.

Everyone immediately felt the same confusion as Ancestor Xuanxuan.

Who exactly are these three people, that they dare to provoke the Glazed Dojo?

At this moment, the old ancestor Xuanxuan's face had darkened, and he said, "You three, state your names so that I may know who is so audacious as to disrupt my birthday banquet."

"Afterwards, I will erect a monument for the three of you in front of the gate of the Liuli Dojo, so that the world will know that this is the end result of overestimating one's abilities."

Zhou Qing said, "Western Continent, Zhou Qing."

"what!"

Several gasps of surprise immediately rang out in front of the main hall.

The people from the four major Dao Palaces already knew enough about the situation in the Western Continent and had naturally heard of Zhou Qing's name. Therefore, when they heard him introduce himself and learn that the young cultivator in front of them was the legendary genius of the Western Continent, they were immediately astonished.

Everyone knew that he had offended the Qingxu Dao Palace and would face its pursuit. They thought he would hide in the Western Continent, but unexpectedly he appeared at the Liuli Dao Field, right in front of the major powers of the Central Continent.

Ancestor Xuanxuan sized him up for a while and said, "So you are Zhou Qing."

Upon learning Zhou Qing's identity, the anger in the heart of the Xuanxuan Ancestor lessened somewhat.

He was well-informed and knew the inside story of how Xuanzhenzi was killed by Zhou Qing.

Xuanzhenzi was of equal strength to him, and since this person was able to kill Xuanzhenzi and bring him back, he was naturally worthy of being considered his equal.

Although he disrupted his own birthday banquet, it was still better than an unknown person. Now that he knew Zhou Qing's identity, Ancestor Xuanxuan naturally understood Zhou Qing's purpose.

The reason why Liuli Daoist Temple seized the spiritual medicine from Cao Yang was because it had the approval of Ancestor Xuanxuan. He thought that Hongfa Daoist Temple had become a pawn of Qingxu Daoist Palace, so even if they were bullied, the other party would not dare to do anything.

Little did they expect that in the blink of an eye, the other party would cause a scene at the Glazed Dojo, and in front of all the cultivators in the Central Continent.

Ancestor Xuanxuan valued his reputation above all else. Although he knew he was in the wrong, he couldn't back down in public. He said, "I know exactly why you've come. Although that matter was a misunderstanding, my Liuli Daoist Temple was also at fault. If you discuss it with me properly, I might return the item to you."

"But you shouldn't have disrupted my birthday banquet. Today, none of the three of you will be leaving the Liuli Dojo."

Zhou Qing sneered, "You think you can get away with this? You stole my elixir, injured my people, and now you think you can just brush it all off with a misunderstanding? It's not that easy."

"Today you must not only return the stolen elixirs a hundredfold, but you, as the ancestor, must personally apologize to my people. From now on, when people from the Hongfa Daochang enter Zhongzhou, the Liuli Daochang must retreat."

Ancestor Xuanxuan roared, "What an arrogant junior! What if I don't agree?"

Zhou Qing said, "Then beat me until you agree."

Zhou Qing's voice was strong and resolute, not like he was saying harsh words, but rather stating an established fact.

Having achieved great success in his cultivation, the Ancestor Xuanxuan had never been provoked like this before, and a murderous intent immediately rose in his heart.

The disciples of the Liuli Dojo were filled with even greater rage upon seeing their patriarch humiliated.

"Don't be so arrogant, you mere junior. To deal with you, I don't even need to lift a finger!"

Several figures swiftly approached the main hall; they were none other than the renowned Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the Glazed Dojo: Guo Songshou, the Great Mist Peak Master; Tan Haotian, the Mist Hidden Peak Master; and Ouyang Qian, the White-Headed Peak Master.

These three were among the top Nascent Soul True Monarchs in the Glazed Dojo. They knew of Zhou Qing's reputation and that they were no match for him in a one-on-one fight. So, they exchanged glances and attacked together.

This three-on-one situation is detrimental to the reputation of the Liuli Dojo, but once they eliminate this rival, no one will care how they won in the long run.

Ultimately, only victory has true value in this world.

The three attacked with all their might. Before they even got close to Zhou Qing, they swelled into ice giants nearly two zhang tall, carrying a chilling aura as they pounced on him.

With Zhou Qing's current physical condition, even if he were in the North or South Pole in his previous life, he wouldn't feel cold wearing only a single layer of clothing.

But when the three ice giants pounced, the sheer chill emanating from them made him feel as if his thoughts were slowing down.

What a powerful chill!

Cao Yang also knew how dangerous the situation was. He was worried that Zhou Qing wouldn't be able to handle it, so he wanted to step forward and fight, to share the burden of the enemy with him.

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Just keep an eye on Qingxia."

After saying that, golden light flowed around him, and he entered a dual state, simultaneously existing in the world of cultivation and the world of Dao heart.

In an instant, he gained control over the world around him.

He had only used the intermediary of the Dao Heart World for ranged attacks before, and had never tried its role in close combat.

Today is a good day to use these Nascent Soul True Monarchs to test his new techniques.
