One person: Activate the talisman, behold my Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon!

The leader was an old man with a very noticeable scar on his face, and his hands were behind his back.

The Ten Elders, Lü Ci.

Lu Ci looked Ye Xing up and down, his chapped lips moving slightly.

"Young man from Quanzhen, shall we speak in private?"

Chapter 42 Isn't the Soul-Clearing Technique just an incomplete Dual-Hand Technique?

"lead the way."

Ye Xing said something indifferently and followed Lü Ci outside.

As Ye Xing stepped out of the gate, he glanced at the direction of the competition venue. The referee was calling for Zhang Lingyu and his opponent to enter the arena.

This competition is really not worth watching; going there would be a waste of time.

Moreover, since we're being targeted now, we might as well make our point clear and give them the final word, so these old guys won't keep causing trouble.

The experience of actively seeking trouble and passively taking a beating is completely different.

On the back of Longhu Mountain, there is a secluded open space.

The surrounding trees were so dense that the noise from the training ground in front could hardly be heard.

More than twenty men dressed in matching black suits and martial arts uniforms surrounded the open space in layers.

Ye Xing, with his hands tucked into the wide sleeves of his Taoist robe, strolled leisurely to the center of the open space.

Lü Ci and a middle-aged man dressed in an elegant Tang suit stood at the front.

The two sides just stared at each other, wide-eyed.

Ye Xing kicked a dead branch on the ground and asked with a grin.

"Old Master Lü, why did you call me here in this desolate place? What do you want?"

Lu Ci had his hands behind his back and hadn't had a chance to reply yet.

The middle-aged man in the Tang suit next to him suddenly stepped forward, pointed at Ye Xing's nose, and started talking.

"You little bastard! You injured someone from our Wang family, and you think you can just walk away unscathed? Today I'll show you just how powerful the heavens are and how thick the earth is!"

Ye Xing tilted his head slightly and looked the man up and down.

"Who are you, shouting like that?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's face instantly turned bright red, and the veins on his neck bulged.

'Wang Jian has been detected to have feelings of shame and indignation. Emotional value +30.'

"I am Wang Jian, an elder of the Wang family! Now that you've fallen into my hands, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

After listening, Ye Xing shook his head, thinking to himself that he was indeed just a passerby with very little emotional intelligence.

Ye Xing extended his right index finger and waved it from side to side at Wang Jian, while making a series of noises.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you? You're no good."

The phrase "light and fluffy" is extremely insulting.

'Detected extreme anger and murderous intent in Wang Jian. Critical hit triggered. Emotion value +60!'

The critical hit was so small, oh well, even a mosquito bite is still a bite.

Wang Jian was so angry that his head was practically steaming, and his knuckles were cracking from clenching his fists.

Just as he was about to order his men to dismember the Taoist priest, Lü Ci spoke up.

"enough."

These two simple words carry an imposing aura of authority.

Wang Jian swallowed the curse words that were about to come out of his mouth and took a half step back.

Wang Ai is currently busy taking care of Wang Bing, who has been severely injured, so Lü Ci is in charge here.

Lu Ci slightly raised his chin and got straight to the point.

"Boy, I don't have time to beat around the bush with you. Your extraordinary strength is something that can't be achieved through the Quanzhen School of Kung Fu."

"Hand over the secret to your strength honestly, and I guarantee you'll leave Longhu Mountain unscathed."

Ye Xing chuckled, causing Lü Ci and the others to frown.

"Mr. Lü, isn't your procedure a bit off?"

Ye Xing spread his hands, "If someone takes a fancy to a promising talent, they should at least offer some incentives to attract him, such as money, power, and beautiful women."

"If we really can't reach an agreement, then we'll resort to violence. Why don't you even bother with formalities and just start interrogating me right away? Am I not genius enough?"

Lu Ci's face was cold, and his tone was extremely harsh.

“Someone like you is inherently incapable of being subservient to others; you’re simply not suitable for recruitment.”

"Oh, I love hearing that compliment."

Ye Xing wasn't annoyed at all. He simply dropped his smiling demeanor and went all out.

"I thought the four great families were very respectable. It turns out that your Lü and Wang families have been doing all sorts of shameless robbery behind the scenes."

These words almost made Wang Jian on the other side lose his temper and want to make a move.

Lu Ci remained unmoved, staring intently at Ye Xing, completely unconcerned by these harmless verbal attacks.

Looking at Lü Ci's old face, Ye Xing felt that his strength was not enough, so he simply took two steps forward.

"Others may not know the history of how your two families rose to prominence, but I know it very well."

Ye Xing's voice echoed in the open space.

“During the Jia Shen Rebellion, your two families took advantage of the chaos, one imprisoned Duanmu Ying, and the other captured Feng Tianyang.”

“The Wang family forced Feng Tianyang to reveal the ‘Spirit Binding and General Command’ technique, while the Lü family extracted the ‘Dual-Hand Technique’ from Duanmu Ying.”

At this point, Ye Xing deliberately covered his mouth with his hand, pretending to be surprised that he had said something wrong, and even winked at Lü Ci.

"Oh right, look at my memory. The name 'Dual-Handed Technique' is too conspicuous; you're afraid of being criticized. In your Lü family now, this thing should be called 'Soul Enlightenment Technique,' right?"

The entire venue went silent instantly.

Even the sound of the wind blowing through the fallen leaves became extremely jarring.

The people from the Lü and Wang families who were surrounding them were completely dumbfounded.

Is the Soul-Enlightening Technique the same as the Dual-Handed Skill, one of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques? Is this something that ordinary members of their clan should be able to hear?

'Detected extreme shock and horror in Lü Ci, triggering a series of critical hits, emotion value +200!'

'Wang Jian has shown signs of fear and disbelief, triggering a critical hit. Emotion value +80!'

'Shock and other emotional fluctuations detected among the members of the Lü and Wang families. Emotional value +30, +40, +50...'

The mood panel was fluctuating wildly, and Ye Xing let out a sigh of relief.

Wang Jian was startled. If this top secret were to be leaked, his two families would become a laughing stock in the entire world of supernatural beings.

"Shut up! That's utter nonsense!"

Wang Jian roared, pointing at Ye Xing, his emotions running high.

But when Wang Jian turned to look at Lü Ci, he found that the Ten Elders had a tense face and did not say a word.

Wang Jian's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly shut his mouth and stopped talking.

Ye Xing looked at the numbers on the virtual panel, then at Lü Ci's old face, which was as steady as Mount Tai in reality. The contrast was too great, and he couldn't help but shake his head.

"These two families that have grown by exploiting robbery are really not good."

Lu Ci took a deep breath and uttered two words from his withered lips.

"Let's do it."

As soon as he finished speaking, half of the people in the encirclement immediately broke through. A dozen or so men used various techniques, rushing towards Ye Xing with a whooshing sound.

The distance of a few meters was covered in an instant.

Faced with this fierce onslaught.

Rabbit Talisman.

Ye Xing's figure flashed and disappeared right before everyone's eyes.

boom!boom!boom!boom!

A series of dull, thudding sounds of flesh being struck echoed across the open ground.

The men who rushed up didn't even manage to touch Ye Xing's clothes before they were sent flying backward and crashed heavily into the mud.

The whole thing took no more than two seconds.

At this moment, Lü Ci had completely lost sight of Ye Xing.

As if sensing something suddenly, the one-eyed old man reacted instantly due to his combat instincts.

His Qi surged violently, and his right hand moved with incredible speed, his five fingers slicing and clenching rapidly in the air. Without even looking at the direction, he punched directly behind him.

Snapped!

A crisp sound rang out as Lü Ci's fist collided solidly with a fair hand.

A tremendous force erupted from the center of their battle.

Lu Ci took three steps back, each step leaving a half-inch deep crater in the hard ground, before he could barely regain his balance.

In contrast, Ye Xing only took two steps back before standing firmly.

Ye Xing casually flicked his right hand and clicked his tongue.

"The old man's Ruyi Force is quite something. Even without charging it up, it's impossible to defend against. If an ordinary person were to take that hit, their internal organs would have been turned into a mushy mess by now."

Five steps away.

Lu Ci exhaled, squinted his eyes, and his scarred face was filled with horror.

'Detected extreme shock and lingering fear in Lü Ci, triggering a series of critical hits, emotion value +250!'
