You think I have mixed spiritual roots? I became an immortal through a spirit gourd, so what are you

"Damn it, what bad luck! If this kid gets away, how am I going to explain this to Young Master Zhang?" Li Fugui spat angrily as he looked in the direction Chen Huai'an had left.

If he had known, he would have had no need to curry favor with Chen Huai'an; he should have stood on the same side as the Zhang family.

As expected, after Chen Huai'an ran away, Zhang Biao, not having seen Chen Huai'an, vented all his anger on Li Fugui.

"Damn it, you old good-for-nothing, you can't even handle this little thing, what use are you to me?" As Zhang Biao spoke, he kicked Li Fugui hard in the chest.

Li Fugui coughed up blood and became weak.

Li Fugui was curled up, his face as pale as paper; he had no words to express his suffering.

At the same time, he cursed Zhang Biao's ancestors for eighteen generations. Damn it, this is just too much!

What Li Fugui didn't know was that one of the reasons Zhang Biao got angry at him was Chen Huai'an.

But a large part of the reason was that he couldn't buy the high-grade body-refining pill he wanted.

Only a small part of the reason was An; he was in a bad mood, so he took it out on that old bastard Li Fugui.

What Old Man Li didn't know was that Zhang Biao was taking his anger out on him because of Chen Huai'an, and Li Fugui was not wronged at all.

However, no one told Chen Huai'an any of this.

But at this moment, has Chen Huai'an really left?

Chen Huai'an disappeared before Li Fugui's eyes, but he did not leave. He concealed his aura and hid nearby.

He didn't know that Zhang Biao was going to cause him trouble, nor did he know how much information Zhang Biao knew about him. Since they were enemies, he couldn't just sit and wait for trouble to come to him like this. He could easily kill Zhang Biao.

Before breaking through to the eighth level of the late stage of Body Refinement, he naturally kept a low profile when facing a powerhouse who was also in the late stage of Body Refinement and ranked among the top 100 on the Spirit Ranking.

But things are different now. He can launch a sneak attack. Even if he can't kill the opponent, he can at least teach him a lesson.

Chen Huai'an now regards Zhang Biao as a whetstone on his path of cultivation, and he wants to step on Zhang Biao to move forward.

Zhang Biao asked Li Fugui a few more questions about Chen Huai'an. Knowing that Chen Huai'an had left, he had no mood to wait for Chen Huai'an's return. He had to hurry back to his residence to consolidate his cultivation and prepare for the challenge match in seven days.

Zhang Biao wanted to challenge those ranked higher than him to rise to the top. Similarly, those behind Zhang Biao were also sharpening their knives, wanting to step over Chen Huai'an to get to the top.

In the past few days, several incidents of people being secretly attacked have occurred within the sect.

With the competition approaching, if they suffer any accidents or injuries during this period, once the challenge begins, the challengers ranked behind them will seize the opportunity to crush them under their feet.

The Spirit Ranking is held annually. Once the challenge ends and the rankings are determined, their cultivation resources for the following year will be allocated accordingly.

Therefore, during this period, those geniuses who were on the list last year did not dare to act alone. As for those top 100 experts, although they were also worried, they were not afraid. After a year of reflection, they had obtained a large amount of cultivation resources, and their cultivation would only become stronger.

Even if the difference is only one person, the cultivation resources they receive will vary.

One hundred is a huge dividing line.

As for the top 500, their rankings range from 500 to 450, 400, 350, 300, 250, 200, 150, and 100. There are certain differences in the resources they receive for every 50 places.

For example, the rewards for the 199th and 150th ranked individuals are as follows: the higher the ranking, the more cultivation resources the sect will reward them with.

This ranking, from 200th to the top 100, is a watershed moment. So, if you want to become famous, you either need to be in the top 200 or the top 100.

However, there is a pattern: the vacant spots in the top 100, excluding those who enter the outer sect, are filled by people from the top 200.

Therefore, the proportion of the top two hundred disciples who were ambushed was the highest.

Zhang Biao is very strong, and as a disciple of the Zhang family, a family of cultivators, he has a very powerful backer. Even if the disciples of the Zhang family had a lot of courage, they wouldn't dare to scheme against him.

What he needs to do now is adjust his condition and keep himself in peak condition, as he is going to challenge the top 50 strongest players.

"I thought the Zhang family had a lot of followers wherever they went. This time, Zhang Biao, I'll show you that some people hold grudges and are not to be trifled with." Chen Huai'an saw Li Fugui humbly escorting Zhang Biao out of the hospital, and he instantly felt murderous.

Of course, Chen Huai'an wouldn't make a move on Lingquan Peak. Even if he wanted to ambush him, he wouldn't do it there. He would follow him and find a suitable opportunity to completely remove him from this conflict.

Zhang Biao was not well-liked among the menial disciples; he was the kind of person everyone disliked. Wherever he went, people who knew it was him from afar would immediately take a detour, which directly gave Chen Huai'an the opportunity to make his move.

Chen Huai'an wouldn't take action if there were too many people on the road.

At worst, he can just wait until the challenge begins and then challenge his opponent.

Doing this would simply postpone it by a few days; he could still get his revenge just the same.

In fact, Chen Huai'an did not want to settle things with his opponent in the challenge match, as this would only escalate the conflict further, and the Zhang family would certainly not let it go afterward.

The best approach is to quietly and secretly eliminate the threat, nipping the danger in the bud. Even if it does erupt, it's uncertain when it will happen, giving the threat time to grow.

"Who, who's following me? Get out here!" Zhang Biao, who was in front of him, suddenly had a strange feeling of unease. He stopped abruptly, his eyes scanning his surroundings, his face full of vigilance.

"Could it be that this guy has discovered me? But that doesn't make sense. I've already concealed my aura. I'm just an ordinary person now, and I'm so far away. He shouldn't have been able to discover me. Could there be someone else nearby?" Chen Huai'an stopped in his tracks, glanced around, and frowned.

Just as Chen Huai'an finished muttering to himself, several men in black appeared in front of Zhang Biao.

When Chen Huai'an saw those men in black, his heart skipped a beat. Zhang Biao's heart also skipped a beat. He stared warily at the three masked men in black who had suddenly appeared around him, as if they were there to get him.

"Who are you? What do you want? Don't you know I'm a disciple of the Zhang family? If you offend the Zhang family, you won't have a place to stand, whether you're on the Miscellaneous Peak, in the outer sect, or even the inner sect." Zhang Biao stared warily at the three men. They remained silent throughout, their eyes fixed intently on him, which gave him a chilling feeling.

Zhang Biao cursed inwardly, wondering which bastards had staged this whole charade to mess with him.

"Haha... It really is true that those who do many evil deeds will surely perish! Today, I'll take this opportunity to kill this bastard." Seeing that the person who was intercepted was Zhang Biao, Chen Huai'an was overjoyed.
