"Mr. Jiang, what a coincidence! Miss Cheng and her companions barged in last night. I originally intended to escort them outside, but I didn't expect Miss Cheng to be an acquaintance of yours. Fortunately, I didn't disrespect her," Liang Shanshan quickly said. Regardless of the situation, it never hurts to say a few humble words.
Jiang Chen then turned his gaze towards Liang Shanshan and smiled lightly, "What do you need from me?"
Faced with Jiang Chen's piercing gaze, even someone as proud as Liang Shanshan felt uneasy.
"To be honest, Mr. Jiang, our Xuan Yin Sect collected the essence of Yin spirits at Huang Gong Mountain in Pu County last December and had a brief encounter with you. At that time, you gave us a spirit herb to take back, but unfortunately, it was lost on the way. Therefore, we would like to request another one from you," Liang Shanshan said, maintaining her composure despite telling a little lie under Jiang Chen's scrutiny.
"It's just a Lingqi Pill," Jiang Chen replied dismissively with a smile. He then flicked his hand, and a flash of azure light appeared as a Lingqi Pill floated gently towards Liang Shanshan.
Liang Shanshan was overjoyed; she hadn't expected Mr. Jiang to be so easy to deal with—or rather, so accommodating.
After receiving the Lingqi Pill, Liang Shanshan handed it to Liang Xianliang, who suppressed his excitement and exchanged a knowing glance with his daughter. Liang Shanshan was quick to understand her father's intent.
Adjusting her expression and smile, Liang Shanshan tentatively asked, "Mr. Jiang, if you have any surplus of this Lingqi Pill, could you sell us some more? We are willing to pay."
"Of course, and we have other items to exchange with you as well," Liang Shanshan added.
"If you can provide more essence of Yin spirits, I might consider it. As for other items, I'm not particularly interested," Jiang Chen replied.
Liang Shanshan chuckled awkwardly; their Xuan Yin Sect indeed had nothing that would entice Jiang Chen.
"Uh, we were too forward; please don't take offense, Mr. Jiang," Liang Shanshan said wisely knowing when to retreat.
Chen Jihau and the others watched from the side, curious about the pill but hesitant to interrupt; they planned to ask Liang Shanshan privately later about its effects.
The appearance of Cheng Xiang was merely a trivial matter for Jiang Chen.
"It should be almost time," Jiang Chen suddenly remarked lightly.
"Yes, Mr. Jiang, it's almost three o'clock," Wu Taitian replied.
"Ling'er, prepare yourself to experience Palace Master Shangguan's skills. I'm not worried about your strength, but as Elder Wu mentioned, Palace Master Shangguan is ruthless. With zero combat experience on your part, you must be extra cautious," Jiang Chen advised.
"Master, Ling'er understands and will be extra careful not to disgrace your teachings," Ye Ling responded respectfully.
"Go ahead," Jiang Chen nodded.
With Jiang Chen's words "go ahead," all eyes turned towards Ye Ling. Even Shangguan Yao in the center of the lake opened his eyes and looked at Ye Ling. Although he doubted that a young girl could possess much ability, he had no choice but to take her seriously since Mr. Jiang was so confident.
Ye Ling walked to the edge of the lake, formed seals with her hands to gather water into a lotus flower, and then stepped onto the water-made lotus like a fairy as she floated towards the center of the lake.
Shangguan Yao's eyes widened in surprise as he watched intently. Ye Ling's display truly astonished him; Mr. Jiang's prized disciple was indeed extraordinary for her age—her skills were so refined that even Shangguan Yao admitted he couldn't match them.
However, soon the solemn expression on Shangguan Yao's face was replaced by a fierce battle intent. Since Mr. Jiang's talented disciple was quite formidable, he decided to first eliminate Mr. Jiang's disciple to establish his authority.
"Mr. Jiang, your disciple's strength is indeed impressive, but it doesn't intimidate me. You killed my son, and now I will kill your beloved disciple; that seems quite fair," Shangguan Yao declared loudly, his voice echoing like a bell in the valley.
"Very fair," Jiang Chen replied with a faint smile.
"Heh, Mr. Jiang, today I challenge you, yet you send your disciple to her death. As her master, you are truly ruthless," Shangguan Yao sneered.
"My disciple has been with me for several years. Aside from sparring with fellow sect members, she has never fought anyone else. Today is her first real battle, and it's an honor for her to face you," Jiang Chen said with a grin.
"Then I should thank you," Shangguan Yao said, his anger flaring as Jiang Chen's tone was too arrogant for his liking.
Shangguan Yao fell silent, his gaze sharp as a knife as he fixed it on Ye Ling. Ye Ling stood firm at the center of the lake, fifty meters away from Shangguan Yao. Her expression remained calm; despite the murderous aura emanating from Shangguan Yao that could stir the waters of the lake, it failed to disturb her inner peace even slightly.
"Little girl, make your move," Shangguan Yao said without further ado.
"Palace Master Shangguan, since you are older, you should go first," Ye Ling replied sincerely.
"Just as arrogant as your master," Shangguan Yao frowned, his anger boiling over. He exerted force with his legs, causing the wooden plank beneath him to roll rapidly in the water before it shot up above the surface. Shangguan Yao kicked one end of the plank, which was thirty centimeters in diameter, sending it flying toward Ye Ling. She lightly leaped onto the plank; what had initially acted like a cannonball was suddenly halted as she stepped on it, coming to a stop after flying ten meters forward and splashing into the water.
"What impressive skill," Shangguan Yao remarked with a tone that was cold despite the praise. He realized that defeating Ye Ling would not be easy after all.
Moreover, after defeating Ye Ling, he would still have to contend with Jiang Chen. He did not want to waste too much time and energy on a young girl; he aimed for a quick resolution.
Thus, he directly unleashed his killing move.
As a master of the Transcendent Realm, Shangguan Yao had reached the pinnacle of controlling Inner Energy. His Inner Energy transformed into divine powers that were not inferior to ordinary techniques.
"Tianlang swallows the sun and moon; one breath stirs the universe," Shangguan Yao suddenly shouted. At that moment, his energy surged to its peak; the energy rippled and steam rose as it formed a translucent Tianlang figure in midair. With his hands moving in intricate patterns before him, he used Inner Energy to create a cyclone. The cyclone spun at an incredible speed, seemingly slicing through the air itself.
Shangguan Yao's expression tightened as he felt fear from the power of this cyclone. His palms slowly came together as he compressed the half-meter-wide cyclone even further.
With so much Inner Energy condensed into a fist-sized cyclone, one could only imagine how terrifying its power would be; once unleashed, it would be akin to a powerful bomb exploding.
