Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Yang Gongcheng’s goal in coming to the Five Tigers Sect was indeed the Dragon City Talismans. He also wanted to get his hands on these two women. As for the accusations, they were completely false, made up out of thin air. As long as he got the Dragon City Talismans and the Five Tigers Sect obeyed him, he would not trouble them further.

After all, the Five Tigers Sect was still a large sect. If he went overboard, it would not be good for the Baili Sect. This world was still not the Baili Sect’s yet.

“Go our separate ways and not interfere with each other? Since when has your Baili Sect spared our Five Tigers Sect?” Xie Rengui smiled mockingly.

In the past, the Baili Sect had forced the Five Tigers Sect to take Fu Yu in through marriage. Fu Yu was just Yang Gongcheng’s adopted daughter, and her relationship with him was also unclear. But they requested for the young sect leader of the Five Tigers Sect to officially marry her in a grand ceremony. On the surface, it appeared as a marriage between two sects. In reality, they wanted to place their chess piece in the Five Tigers Sect.

The Baili Sect was powerful, so they had to put up with it. For so many years, Fu Yu reigned freely and unscrupulously in the Five Tigers Sect. But because she had the Baili Sect backing her, Xie Rengui had been forced to endure it. Now, Fu Yu had thrown the sect into chaos and had secretly brought a Sect Grand Elder over. She was stirring up trouble out of nowhere, and the Baili Sect had forced their way into the sect. How could he endure it any longer?

“Elder Xie, at least you are still the Five Tigers Sect’s sect leader,” Yang Gongcheng stated plainly.

“Oh, is Sect Leader Yang trying to say that the reason I became the Five Tigers Sect’s sect leader was because you intentionally let me? Otherwise, you would have taken me down long ago and replaced me with a puppet sect leader, is that it? If so, I truly need to thank Sect Leader Yang for your ‘kindness’.”

Xie Rengui’s expression became even colder.

“Elder Xie, if you put it that way, I will not deny it. You won’t be sect leader of the Five Tigers Sect for much longer.” Yang Gongcheng nodded his head seriously.

Upon hearing this, a look of joy flashed in Liu Hua’s eyes. Yang Gongcheng had previously promised to find a way to make Liu Hua sect leader of the Five Tigers Sect. From the looks of it now, this matter was about to play out.

The facial expressions of Yun Pengqing and the other Five Tigers Sect Sect Grand Elders turned ugly. Presumptuous! They were too presumptuous! Since when was the identity of the Five Tigers Sect sect leader determined by Yang Gongcheng?

“Hehe, Yang Gongcheng. Such injustice is doomed for destruction. By behaving in such a way, you might be able to act presumptuously for a while, but can you act this way for your entire life? These two young maidens are members of the Five Tigers Sect. As the sect leader, I am ashamed that I was unable to protect them. However, did you think that it would be so easy to obtain the Dragon City Talismans? Be careful not to hurt yourself.”

Xie Rengui suddenly laughed out loud. As a sect leader, he was indeed a failure. Before this, he was already no match for Yang Gongcheng. Now that Yang Gongcheng had broken through to the Golden Elixir Realm, the difference between them was even greater. At least in front of him, Yang Gongcheng had the right to act presumptuously.

However, in the entire world, no matter how good something seemed, there was always something better. No one could act presumptuously forever.

“Xie Rengui, back in the day, you were a peerless genius. Back then, I was no match for you. You were previously so heroic, wanting to compete even with the gods. What’s the matter? Now that you are old and your body is frail, has your heart also lost its spirit?”

“Even if you do not mention it, I know that it was very strange for the two Dragon City Talismans to appear on those two little girls. At the same time, I also know that the mysterious person that Cheng Zongping encountered in the forest is very likely related to those two women. However, since I dare to act upon it, I am not afraid of retribution from anyone. If the person does not appear, so be it. If he does, I will settle debts both new and old with him. Humph, he dared to steal my Baili Sect’s Blue Silk Cloud Net! He must be tired of living,” Yang Gongcheng exclaimed with a cold face.

Since it had come to this, he did not hide anything anymore, directly admitting that the attempted slaughter of the Five Tigers Sect members was the work of the Baili Sect. Some things that Xie Rengui could figure out, he could also figure out. Although that mysterious person was incredible, Yang Gongcheng was not afraid of him. It was because he was clear how big the difference was between the Golden Elixir Realm and the Embryonic Breathing Realm. This was also the reason why he dared to act so brazenly, making light of the Five Tigers Sect. The Golden Elixir Realm and the Embryonic Breathing Realm were two completely different levels.

Cheng Zongping and Yun Pengqing felt that this mysterious person was frightening because their cultivation was insufficient. If they also had Golden Elixir Realm cultivation, they most likely would not have thought so.

Also, he had guessed that the mysterious person at most only had Golden Elixir Realm cultivation. Even though Yang Gongcheng had just broken through to the Golden Elixir Realm and was no match for people who had done so long ago, he did not need to fear them.

Yang Gongcheng did not know that his Blue Silk Cloud Net was not in Mo Wen’s hands, but instead was in the hands of the Five Tigers Sect. Who would have thought that an exalted spiritual weapon like the Blue Silk Cloud Net would actually be completely ignored?

“Yang Gongcheng, everyone is clear about your goal. You can take the two Dragon City Talismans but don’t harm those two young maidens.” Xie Rengui took a deep breath. The circumstances forced him to yield. At this moment, he could only take a step back and preserve the lives of the two maidens before anything else.

This feeling was upsetting. It was as though he had been slapped by another person and still needed to bow his head and beg for forgiveness. However, if he did not do so, what else could he do? Fight to the death against the Baili Sect? They would pay an even higher price if they did so.

“Xie Rengui, those two women stole my Baili Sect’s Han Imperial Jade Seal. Right now, they are being held by us. Of course, I will confiscate their Dragon City Talismans. It has nothing to do with your Five Tigers Sect. If you want to save these two women, then bring out two more Dragon City Talismans to exchange for them.”

Yang Gongcheng snickered. Xie Rengui backing down made him even prouder. He intended to extort everything he could from them severely.

The crowd of Five Tigers Sect members was furious. They had never seen such a shameless person. It was practically daylight robbery!

Xie Rengui’s expression also turned sullen. Both his fists were clenched, but he was somewhat helpless and could only forcefully hold back the anger in his heart.

“You want Dragon City Talismans. I still have eight. However, do you dare take them?”

Suddenly, a voice sounded in the square. The voice seemed near yet far at the same time. No one could pinpoint which direction it came from. It had a peculiar tone; no one could make out whether it was male or female. However, in an instant, it had covered the entire square, entering everyone’s ears.

Everyone’s attention was drawn to the voice, frantically searching for its source. But they discovered that the voice had no source. At the same time, they could not locate the person who had spoken.

However, Yun Pengqing and Wang He’s eyes lit up. It was because they had heard this voice once before.

“It’s him!” Yun Pengqing exclaimed in a low voice.

“As expected.” Wang He took a deep breath. He recalled their speculation over the past few days. It had actually come true.

Mei Yixuan and Qi Hang’s figures also suddenly trembled. They looked at each other and saw the look of astonishment in each other’s eyes.

The terrifying mysterious person had once again appeared!

“Who is sneaking around? Show yourself,” Yang Gongcheng coldly shouted. He suddenly stood up from his dragon chair. Both of his eyes were flickering with brilliant light as he attempted to search for the owner of the voice. However, to his astonishment, he discovered that he could not find any trace of the owner at all. The voice seemed to appear from thin air, evenly covering every corner of the square.

“I am right in front of you. Are you blind?”

Just as everyone was searching for the owner of the mysterious voice, a faint shadow suddenly appeared in the square silently. It stood just ten meters in front of Yang Gongcheng.

It was a person that was wrapped entirely in a straw cape and wore a bamboo hat on his head. The straw cape was very peculiar, appearing hazy and ethereal and causing others to be unable to see the person in the straw cape clearly at all. His entire person seemed to be a mass of ethereal shadow.

There were at least more than a thousand people in the square. Everyone wanted to see who was in the straw cape, including Yang Gongcheng and Xie Rengui. No matter what methods used, the results were all the same. They could only see a mass of shadows.

Also, if they observed closely, they would sense hallucinations appearing in their minds. The mass of shadows would seem to be moving to the left, then right, then up and down, becoming even more of a blur.

“You are the mysterious person that ruined my plans?”

Yang Gongcheng looked at the shadow before his eyes. His expression involuntarily turned serious. He felt somewhat strange. He was now of the Golden Elixir Realm, yet he actually could not even see this person clearly. This caused him to become somewhat involuntarily cautious.

“Didn’t you want the Dragon City Talismans? I still have many here. Come take them if you can.”

The mysterious shadow slowly extended a hand. The hand held several silver talismans. The runes on them flashed, sparkling brilliantly. They were Dragon City Talismans, and a stack of eight of them at that.

The ancient martial art practitioners in the square looked at the Dragon City Talismans in the hands of the mysterious shadow. Their eyes were wide open as they stared motionlessly at the Dragon City Talismans. The Dragon City Talismans were items that could cause bloodshed in the martial art circle. One Dragon City Talisman was enough for two sects to wage war until blood flowed like rivers. This mysterious person actually had eight of them!

Yang Gongcheng’s eyes were wide open. His eyes sparkled. He could not wait to snatch all the Dragon City Talismans from Mo Wen’s hands.

Eight Dragon City Talismans! Even all the Dragon City Talismans of the Baili Sect combined only added up to around this number.

The members of the Baili Sect were all wide-eyed. They could not disguise the look of greed in their eyes.

“Godfather, quickly get hold of those Dragon City Talismans. With them, the ability of the Baili Sect will certainly skyrocket! It is even possible for us to cultivate another Golden Elixir Realm expert. When that time comes, the martial art circle will belong to the Baili Sect,” Fu Yu said massaging his ego as she looked greedily at the Dragon City Talismans in the hands of the mysterious shadow.

The Baili Sect had a limited amount of Dragon City Talismans, and she was not high-ranking enough to have one. If they could take these Dragon City Talismans, she might be able to get her hands on one.

Just thinking about heading to the mysterious Dragon City made her feel excited inside. Rumor had it that there were treasures everywhere in Dragon City, and there were endless opportunities there. With her talent, it would probably be difficult for her to break through to the Embryonic Breathing Realm in a lifetime. If she could head to Dragon City, she might be able to become a top expert one day.

Yang Gongcheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Seeing so many Dragon City Talismans, right now even he could not retain his composure. However, he did not simply act. It was because he knew that the person before him was also an expert. A slight moment of carelessness would very likely result in his immediate defeat.

“The Dragon City Talismans are right here. Do you have the balls to take them?” The mysterious shadow taunted him with a soft laugh. Yang Gongcheng seemed to see his mocking gaze.
