The two Immortal Sect disciples, who were initially still fighting, suddenly stopped in unison and looked into the distance, shocked.

"That is..."

As the Golden Scale Saint Heir unreservedly released his aura, all the Immortal Sect disciples in Purple Cloud Mountain could clearly feel the deadly aura emanating from that direction.

That kind of fierce and destructive aura was as if an ancient beast had broken its seal and stepped into the mortal realm.

A True Inheritor from the Taishi Sect, walking alone in the dense forest, paused slightly, glancing warily towards the direction from which the ferocious aura emanated: "Is it the Golden Scale Saint Heir, or is this still the Golden Scale Evil Suppression Technique?"

"Who has provoked that guy again?"

The youth sipping wine muttered, then turned his gaze to the young man walking ahead of him.

The sword-carrying disciple of this generation of the Sword Pavilion expressed no opinion, remaining as silent as a stone.

...

Lv Bai sensed the aura and merely glanced sideways at it. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

In his view, no matter how fiercely these Immortal Sect disciples fought, it had nothing to do with him.

He maintained a steady flying speed, soon reaching his destination.

Being the highest peak in the central area of Purple Cloud Mountain, it actually doesn’t have an official name, usually referred to as the Nameless Mountain.

But because of its location, many Immortal Sect disciples had gathered in this direction, with more and more people congregating.

Faint figures could be seen in the dense woods, and occasionally some disciples would choose to fly in.

However, they did not have the ease of Lv Bai. Almost all were attacked before they could land.

Indeed, choosing to fly in such an ostentatious manner in such times proved these Immortal Sect disciples had some confidence in themselves, and none would be weak.

However, those gathering at the Nameless Mountain were all elites of the young generation of Xuan Province. Who would think themselves much inferior to their peers?

Unless they were famed monstrous talents like the True Inheritors of Great Teachings and the Saint Heirs of Holy Lands, they would inevitably face challenges.

Though Lv Bai seemed merely a disciple from the Cyan Hope Sect on the surface, with not much deterrent power.

But after defeating Theo Flame in one move, his threat level was raised to the second tier, just below the Saint Heirs and True Inheritors, so no one would rashly attack him for the time being.

Of course, as time went on and more formidable auras appeared, Lv Bai, who had been quietly staying on the outskirts, was finally targeted by someone.

"Are you Lv Bai?"

A young man, with a cold demeanor and narrow eyes, approached Lv Bai and looked at him condescendingly.

Lv Bai blinked his eyes: "No, you’ve got the wrong person."

Ling Yi’s face turned slightly grim: "Do you think this joke is funny?"

"Since you recognize me, why ask?"

Lv Bai still wore a gracious smile, giving an impression of utmost sincerity.

"Only boasting in words."

Ling Yi squinted his eyes slightly, looking even colder under the influence of his already narrow eyes: "Theo Flame is a friend of mine, so do not blame me for being ruthless as you step over him to make your name."

As a formidable figure of the younger generation, even if Lv Bai stood still doing nothing, many would pay attention to him.

Without significant grievances, the Initial Dao Assembly wouldn’t normally reach such deadly tensions; losing was just losing, and the atmosphere wasn’t that severe.

The surrounding Immortal Sect disciples quickly noticed the tense atmosphere between them and looked at them with probing eyes.

"Who is that person, daring to step up and challenge Lv Bai."

"Does he not know his own weight? It’s rumored that Lv Bai of the Cyan Hope Sect has even reached the Golden Core Stage."

"Even if the rumor is false, beating the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment Theo Flame in one move proves Lv Bai can definitely hold his ground in the Foundation Establishment Realm."

The surrounding disciples buzzed with discussions.

From their words, it was evident that they mostly didn’t favor Ling Yi, thinking he might have lost basic reason in pursuit of fame.

Ling Yi did not utter any more harsh words, just silently circulating his own cultivation technique, seemingly waiting for something.

Lv Bai, on the other hand, observed Ling Yi standing before him, his expression gradually becoming a bit odd.

"It seems your master never told you."

The seemingly peaceful status didn’t last long; Ling Yi, as if having met some condition, no longer concealed his glee: "Allow me to introduce myself, I’m Ling Yi, a True Inheritor of the Valley of Ten Thousand Insects."

Lv Bai tilted his head slightly, gesturing for him to continue.

Probably feeling assured of victory, Ling Yi fully exposed his details.

"We disciples of the Valley of Ten Thousand Insects differ from traditional cultivators who manipulate Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi; we primarily study Gu insects and use a spirit technique called lifebound Gu insects to have means unimaginable to conventional cultivators."

Saying this, Ling Yi paused, just as he was about to continue explaining, Lv Bai’s cheerful voice interrupted.

"For example, using these tiny Gu insects, entering my body through the air?"

Hearing this, Ling Yi’s expression stiffened, a hint of unease seeped in.

He forced himself to calm down: "Discovered? Pity it’s already too late."

"Too late? Why not try controlling those Gu insects?"

Lv Bai spoke while raising his right hand.

Ling Yi subconsciously followed Lv Bai’s suggestion and tried, only to find that he indeed lost control over the Gu insects, his face turning pale instantly.

As their techniques relied 90% on Gu insects, without them, he had no courage to face Lv Bai.

Fortunately, Lv Bai wasn’t cruel, not intending to let him suffer in fear for long.

Immense mana swiftly condensed into a Spiritual Energy Palm Seal.

It’s true to say "one trick conquers all"; leveraging his overwhelmingly superior cultivation realm over the younger generation, Lv Bai hadn’t encountered an Immortal Sect disciple capable of resisting this attack method.

The massive Spiritual Energy Palm Seal seemed to drain all the air in its path, with terrifying power crashing toward Ling Yi.

Clearly, Ling Yi had exhausted every means to resist, but unfortunately, it only slightly slowed the Spiritual Power Palm Seal’s descent before his body was crushed into a pulp.

Seeing this, all the surrounding Immortal Sect disciples displayed an expression of horror.

However, before they could lament, they saw a golden figure rushing forward swiftly, exuding pressure akin to a humanoid beast.

"Lv Bai!"

Lv Bai turned to look at the newcomer’s face, confirming no recognition, and it was too late to ask.

Helplessly, he rotated his body to face the incoming threat.

Bam!

The collision was like needles against awns, akin to a muffled thunderclap slicing through the sky.

The deafening metal humming sent throbbing pain through the eardrums of many Immortal Sect disciples present.
