Chapter 38 Crippling Li Xinyi

Suddenly, an icy, terrifying aura swept through the entire hall. Dongfang Yunbing's delicate brows furrowed. With a flick of her jade-like hand, she unleashed a beam of white light that instantly struck Wang Batian. Thud. Wang Batian's figure was sent flying backward, a mouthful of fresh blood spewing from his lips. "Wang Batian, how dare you! To act so brazenly in my presence," Dongfang Yun's eyes, like those of a grim reaper, fixed on Wang Batian. Wang Batian instantly felt as if he'd plunged into an ice cave. He quickly bowed, saying, "Palace Master, please calm your anger. This subordinate was momentarily confused." "The matter is clear. Wang Xuanfeng's death was entirely his own doing. Let this be the end of it. All of you, dismiss yourselves," Dongfang Yunbing's voice carried a hint of coldness. "Yes, Palace Master." The elders present, trembling, bowed and retreated from the hall. *** A cave dwelling within Qiantian Palace. A tall, handsome young man emerged. "Senior Brother Dongfang, you've come out of seclusion?" Li Xinyi quickly went to greet him. "Yes. Where are Xuanfeng and Tianxing?" Dongfang Jie asked. "Senior Brother Wang and Big Brother were killed," Li Xinyi sobbed softly. "What happened? Who dares to kill my people?" A sharp glint flashed in Dongfang Jie's eyes. "It was Yang Lingchen and Feng Xueqing," Li Xinyi replied. "Yang Lingchen? Feng Xueqing? I haven't heard of them," Dongfang Jie frowned. "They are new disciples who entered the inner sect after the recent Outer Sect Grand Competition." Li Xinyi quickly explained the origins of Yang Lingchen and Feng Xueqing. "How audacious! To dare to kill my people. Take me to them," Dongfang Jie said with a sinister look in his eyes. "Yes, Senior Brother Dongfang," Li Xinyi responded. *** After leaving the Palace Master's main hall, Yang Lingchen finally breathed a sigh of relief. "You scoundrel, take me back," Feng Xueqing said softly. "Why not come to my place for a bit?" Yang Lingchen smiled faintly. "I need to go back into seclusion. With so much Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Milk and spirit stones, I need to break through to the Void Inquiry Realm before I come out," Feng Xueqing stated. "Then after I take you back, I'll also go into seclusion. I can't let you surpass me," Yang Lingchen said with a laugh. In terms of cultivation, Yang Lingchen didn't want to fall behind Feng Xueqing. After all, this 'tiger girl' was quite wild, and if he couldn't keep her in check, she might actually 'domesticate' him. The two walked together towards Feng Xueqing's residence. Just then, a man and a woman approached from the front. The man was handsome and elegant, with an arrogant demeanor, and his aura was as profound as an abyss. This was Dongfang Jie, the same envoy who had recruited new disciples in Hanyang City. With just a glance, Yang Lingchen could sense the terrifying strength of the other party. When he saw the young woman's appearance, Yang Lingchen couldn't help but frown. Because this young woman was Li Tianxing's younger sister, Li Xinyi. "Kid, I didn't expect you to be Yang Lingchen. You truly surprise me!" Dongfang Jie said haughtily, his eyes filled with disdain. "Senior Brother Dongfang Jie, may I ask why you've stopped me?" Yang Lingchen asked. "You killed Li Tianxing and Wang Xuanfeng?" Dongfang Jie stared at Yang Lingchen with icy eyes. "I did," Yang Lingchen replied calmly, secretly on guard. "You're courting death! How dare you kill my people?" Dongfang Jie's eyes narrowed. He raised his hand and struck out with a palm, aiming it at Yang Lingchen. Although it was just a simple palm strike, Yang Lingchen could feel the terrifying power it contained. Without time to think, Yang Lingchen quickly shielded Feng Xueqing behind him and met the attack with his own palm. Pfft. The immense disparity in strength sent Yang Lingchen flying backward, several mouthfuls of blood gushing from his mouth. "How dare you hurt my man! You're looking for death!" In an instant, Feng Xueqing's aura surged, as if some restriction on her body had been lifted, and an incredibly terrifying aura emanated from her. Feng Xueqing instantly unleashed a palm strike, and the surrounding air seemed to be stirred by the force of it. Bang! "Ah... ah..." Dongfang Jie was sent flying backward by the palm strike. However, before his body even hit the ground, Feng Xueqing's figure charged forward again. Slap... slap... slap... slap...! "My man, is he someone a dog like you can hit?" Feng Xueqing slapped Dongfang Jie's face dozens of times until he was knocked unconscious, then she finally stopped. Looking at the terrifying Feng Xueqing, Yang Lingchen was dumbfounded. When did this little tiger girl become so powerful? This was too terrifying! Slap! "You wretched woman, what are you looking at? Are you not convinced?" Feng Xueqing let out a cold snort and swung another slap, directly sending Li Xinyi flying. "Ah... ah... ah..." "Yang Lingchen, Feng Xueqing, how dare you injure Senior Brother Dongfang? Do you know who Senior Brother Dongfang is?" Li Xinyi's eyes were incredibly venomous, like a viper's, as she stared at Yang Lingchen. Slap... slap... slap! Yang Lingchen couldn't be bothered to talk to her. He directly slapped her dozens of times. "Ah... ah... ah!" In no time, Li Xinyi was slapped into a pig's head by Yang Lingchen. "Stop!" Just then, the Inner Sect Enforcement Elder, Ling Chenzi, walked over. However, Yang Lingchen did not stop. He directly struck Li Xinyi's Dantian with a palm. For this malicious woman, Yang Lingchen did not want to give her any chance to retaliate. "Ah... Yang Lingchen, you won't die a good death! Senior Brother Dongfang won't let you off!" Li Xinyi's voice was filled with resentment. At this moment, Li Xinyi was completely despairing. She knew she had been crippled by Yang Lingchen, but she was unwilling, because she hadn't yet avenged her brother. "Li Xinyi, whether I die or not is none of your concern. Anyway, you've been crippled. I'll spare your pathetic life and let you live like an ant, humbly in this world," Yang Lingchen sneered. Looking at Dongfang Jie and Li Xinyi, who had been beaten into pig heads, Ling Chenzi shouted, "Yang Lingchen, how dare you! You openly committed violence and crippled someone's cultivation!" "Elder Ling, it's this wretched woman! She dared to beat this Saint Son like this! Why aren't you apprehending her?" Dongfang Jie, now conscious, stood up with his pig-like face. "You are... Dongfang Jie?" Ling Chenzi looked at Dongfang Jie in disbelief. He never imagined that Dongfang Jie, whom no one dared to provoke in Tianyuan Palace, would be beaten to such a state. What surprised him even more was that the perpetrator was a young girl. "Guards, apprehend these two!" Ling Chenzi shouted loudly. Dongfang Jie was the Palace Master's nephew and a Saint Son; Ling Chenzi had to take this matter seriously. "And you, you little bastard, you're dead! How dare you cripple this Saint Son's woman!" At this moment, Dongfang Jie wished he could kill Yang Lingchen. Li Xinyi was a Spirit Void Physique that he had finally found. She was an excellent dual cultivation partner! He hadn't even had a chance to 'pluck' her, and she had been crippled by Yang Lingchen. Slap... slap! Feng Xueqing slapped him a few more times, saying coldly, "Do you believe I won't kill you?" "Wretched woman, you're dead! No one can save you!" Dongfang Jie's eyes were sinister. Slap... slap... slap! "Courting death!" Feng Xueqing slapped him again. "Ah... ah... ah!" Dongfang Jie screamed again. "Stop! Quickly apprehend them!" Ling Chenzi shouted loudly. At this moment, a team of enforcement officers quickly moved towards Yang Lingchen. Li Xinyi's eyes were venomous, and she sneered, "Ha... ha... Yang Lingchen, even if you crippled me, you won't have a good end, because Senior Brother Dongfang is the Palace Master's nephew." At this moment, Li Xinyi's eyes were filled with extreme malice. Although she was crippled, Yang Lingchen would not have a good outcome either. Just then, a clear voice rang out, and Lin Yurou hurried over. "Elder Ling, the Palace Master wants you to bring them to the main hall," Lin Yurou said. "The Palace Master wants to see them?" Ling Chenzi frowned, thinking, "It seems the Palace Master still cares a lot about his nephew." "Yang Lingchen, your fate will soon be worse than mine," Li Xinyi said resentfully. "What an idiot," Yang Lingchen sneered.
