A ruthless bandit from the celestial realm, he began his cultivation journey after kidnapping the Em

"Yes, Senior Brother!"

One of the disciples immediately responded and turned to walk down the mountain...

"Senior brother..."

When Lü Luo saw that Ye Chen was going to avenge him, he was deeply moved, and his eyes instantly reddened...

I knew I hadn't followed the wrong person!

Ye Chen glanced down at him and clicked his tongue.

"Why are you, a grown man, crying?"

"Let's calm down and go back to our cave to recover..."

"I'll be right back!"

Before leaving, he took out a storage bag and tossed it to Lü Luo...

"Take these pills and use them. Come back to me if you need more..."

He currently lacks only spirit-replenishing pills, but he has plenty of body-strengthening and healing pills...

After saying that, Ye Chen walked straight down the mountain...

The disciples standing nearby lit up at the sight...

"Senior Brother Xu is so good to Senior Brother Lü!"

"Following a senior brother like that, I'd be willing to go through fire and water..."

"I wonder if Senior Brother Xu needs any help..."

...

The idea of ​​following Ye Chen began to take root in the hearts of these disciples...

At the entrance to Cave No. 51 on Tianling Peak...

Bloodstains were clearly visible on the ground.

A competition has just taken place here, and many disciples who were watching are still there...

"Senior Brother Hou actually succeeded in Foundation Establishment without making a sound, that's truly amazing..."

"No wonder we haven't seen Senior Brother Hou go out these days; he's been in seclusion cultivating!"

"With Senior Brother Hou's current strength, seizing a cave dwelling from the top twenty would be a piece of cake..."

"I'm sure Senior Brother Hou will be selected for the inner disciple position this time. I'll have to rely on Senior Brother Hou's help a lot in the future..."

......

These disciples were lavishly praising a man standing in front of the cave, showering him with flattery...

Few outer sect disciples successfully establish their foundation; once they enter the inner sect, their future is limitless. Naturally, everyone wants to become acquainted with such a person, hoping to receive future guidance...

Hou Yuan listened to everyone's boasting, his vanity was greatly satisfied, and a smug smile spread across his face as he waved his hand and said.

"Sure, sure..."

"We're all from the same sect, so we'll definitely help each other out in the future..."

"As long as you junior brothers study diligently and practice hard, you will surely be able to achieve Foundation Establishment soon..."

He enjoyed the praise and couldn't help but feel grateful to the disciple who had challenged him earlier, giving him the opportunity to make a name for himself in front of everyone...

Just then, an untimely voice came from not far away...

"You think you're so capable, a mere early Foundation Establishment cultivator? Anyone who doesn't know better would think you've already formed a Golden Core..."

Upon hearing this, the surroundings immediately fell silent...

Hou Yuan's face darkened, and he looked up in the direction of the sound, a hint of displeasure flashing across his face...

How dare they look down on him!

court death!

The disciples who had been watching the commotion all turned to look, and when their gazes fell on Ye Chen, the crowd erupted in an uproar...

"Isn't that Senior Brother Xu? What brings him here?"

"I was wondering why he looked familiar; it turns out it's Senior Brother Xu Xiao..."

"They seem to be looking for Senior Brother Hou. Has Senior Brother Hou offended him in any way?"

"Are you talking about Senior Brother Xu, the one who defeated Xie Huai'an yesterday? I didn't expect to see him here..."

"The disciple following Senior Brother Xu seems to be the one who came to challenge Senior Brother Hou with Lü Luo earlier..."

......

Everyone was whispering among themselves...

Seeing that Ye Chen's arrival was ill-intentioned, they couldn't help but guess his purpose, a hint of anticipation flickering in their hearts...

Although they had been praising Hou Yuan, it was only because they saw his strength and wanted to make a name for themselves; in reality, they were all hoping to see him make a fool of himself...

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, Ye Chen walked straight to the entrance of Cave Number Fifty-One...

"Senior Brother Xu, he's the one who hit Senior Brother Lü..."

The disciple leading the way pointed to Hou Yuan ahead and said.

Upon seeing this, Hou Yuan immediately realized what was happening and looked at Ye Chen with an unfriendly expression.

"Are you here to avenge that kid who challenged me before?"

"Didn't he tell you that I was at the Foundation Establishment stage?"

"You're just at the eighth level of Qi Refining, kid. You're asking for death, aren't you?"

Hou Yuan recognized Ye Chen's cultivation level and immediately began to mock him...

He was quite nervous when he saw Ye Chen approaching, but upon seeing that he was a Qi Refining stage disciple, his anxiety immediately subsided...

He has now entered the Foundation Establishment stage, and his strength is many times greater than that of the Qi Refining stage. He is not afraid of his opponent at all...

I was even secretly eager to teach him a lesson and show off...

Seeing this, the disciples watching the commotion exchanged glances, all tacitly refraining from warning Hou Yuan...

After yesterday's battle with Xie Huai'an, the name "Xu Xiao" had already spread throughout the entire outer sect. Every disciple who had heard of him knew that he could defeat the strong with the weak, even though he was only at the eighth level of Qi Refining, he could still defeat a peak Foundation Establishment expert...

In his eyes, even those at the early stages of Foundation Establishment were nothing to be proud of...

Hou Yuan had been in seclusion for a long time and only emerged from his cave today because of Lü Luo's challenge. He was unaware of what was happening outside and did not know anyone named "Xu Xiao"...

The disciples present realized this, but instead of trying to warn him, they were all eagerly anticipating the show...

If Hou Yuan is crippled by Ye Chen, it would be a good thing for them, as it would mean one less competitor for an inner disciple spot...

Ye Chen looked up at Hou Yuan, who was standing in front of him with an arrogant expression, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"It's still uncertain who's courting death..."

"Eighth level of Qi Refining... That's enough of a lesson for you!"

Upon hearing this, Hou Yuan's face turned grim...

To be provoked like this by a Qi Refining stage disciple was undoubtedly a slap in the face...

This clearly shows they don't take him, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, seriously!

Do you really think his Foundation Establishment realm is just for show?

"Alright, alright, kid, you're pretty arrogant..."

"Then I'll grant your wish. Go back and lie down with that guy surnamed Lü later..."

Hou Yuan's face darkened, and he immediately assumed a fighting stance, shouting in a deep voice.

A violent surge of spiritual energy suddenly erupted around him!

The overwhelming pressure from the Foundation Establishment stage swept over us...

Seeing this, the surrounding disciples knew the two were about to get serious, and they all retreated to the sidelines to watch, lest they be caught in the crossfire...

"Senior Brother Xu is really here to avenge Senior Brother Lü! I didn't realize the two of them had such a good relationship!"

"It seems I'll have to be careful around Senior Brother Lü in the future, and definitely not provoke him..."

"Although Senior Brother Hou has broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, he is still far inferior to Xie Huai'an, and probably no match for Senior Brother Xu either..."

"That's for sure! Senior Brother Xie is at the peak of Foundation Establishment, yet he was beaten to a pulp by Senior Brother Xu. For Hou Yuan to fight him is simply courting death..."

"Arrogance always brings trouble, it's so true! This Hou Yuan is far too arrogant and conceited, this is going to be quite a show..."
