backwards, his two feet drawing a groove several inches deep on the ground. 。...and those stones were shattered directly, causing dozens of enormous spirit trees, each as thick as two men could embr...Whether or not you can handle it isn't up to you. I have my own way of dealing with Brother Hou's injuries," Mo Zhanqing sneered, "Your Highness Prince Xuan is indeed a fair arbiter. Non-royalty are truly treated differently. Well, since Your Highness cannot uphold justice, then this old man will take it upon himself."

"Master Mo, where did you come up with such a statement" Xiang Yihang narrowed his eyes at Mo Zhanqing.

Mo Zhanqing didn't reply to Xiang Yihang, instead he took out a piece of mozhuling, his lips trembling as if murmuring something to it.

Then, Mo Zhanqing raised the Moxue order in his hand, causing ripples like water to spread out. From within, a familiar figure gradually became clear from the blur.

"Mr. Dongfang, it's been a long time." Inside the image, Zhu Qingquan appeared lifelike, as if standing before everyone. Compared to his previous humility and closeness, there was now an aura of unreserved power surrounding him. He stood tall and imposing, making people feel dwarfed even before he arrived.

The immense pressure emanating from the grand cultivator hit them head-on, especially Lu Xia Tian who was in the front line.

"It seems that Mr. Zhu Qing won't be coming today, as a benevolent person." Despite being under the powerful aura of Zhu Qingquan, Lu Xiaoteng remained calm and composed. This kind of pressure was more about the confrontation on a spiritual level. Even if Zhu Qingquan had arrived personally, trying to suppress Lu Xiaoteng with his aura alone wouldn't be easy, let alone just a single shadow apparition.

"You all have your own stances, it's a pity that Master Dongfang refused to use Yun Ya Auction House back then. Otherwise, we wouldn't be on opposite sides today. I know the ins and outs of this matter. If you don't want to become enemies with Yun Ya Auction House, Master Dongfang best release him now and take responsibility for healing Hou Lie's injuries." Zhu Qingquan spoke in a cold voice, devoid of any emotion.

When Zhu Qingquan appeared, Xuanqin Wang, who had originally intended to act as a mediator, had no intention of offending him. However, now that Zhu Qingquan openly supports Mo Zhanyuan and even suppresses Lu Xiaotien, Xiang Yihang naturally wouldn't stand up for Lu Xiaotien.

“Are you talking about the Mozhu Order I happen to have a jade pendant here. Mengxiao brother, the might of a great cultivator is beyond my reach, could you please shield me” Lu Xiaoteng took out a jade pendant and infused it with a burst of magical power.

“Haha, Brother Zhucheng, you're making this sound quite serious. A mere Hou Lie is nothing to worry about. I doubt Brother Zhucheng would let a simple Hou Lie damage the harmony between us, right” A clear laughter echoed as the jade pendant hovered in mid-air. The projection of Mangxiao's Patriarch appeared just in time, blocking Zhuchingquan's momentum.

“Brother Mang Xiao, I knew I'd meet you here. If it were just me, today would have been a victory for sure. However, Master Dongfang has offended more than just one master of the Mo Sect this time. Brother Xiao, show yourself! With Brother Mang Xiao's abilities, there's nothing I can do against him.” Zhu Qingquan smiled serenely. “I'll lend you my Ink Bamboo Order for a while.”

As soon as Zhu Qingquan finished speaking, a man with a narrow face, piercing eyes, and an unremarkable appearance appeared. Although his appearance was ordinary, his eyes were exceptionally shocking, giving off the feeling of lightning and thunder. This man in white, radiating coldness, scanned the surroundings. Xiao Jingfeng met his gaze briefly, his lips moving several times but he didn't dare speak, seemingly terrified of this relative. His son, Xiao Yang, dared not even look directly at him. Xiao Jingfeng was suppressed under the tower, unable to move.

“What piercing eyes.” Lu Xia Tian exclaimed, upon seeing those eyes, his heart skipped a beat. It was as if a bolt of lightning struck him directly in the chest. This person’s mastery over thunder-based magic arts was probably unparalleled.

"Whoever harms my Xiao family members, come to my Xiao family and plead guilty on your own. Don't wait for me to come looking for you."

Xiao Jianlei’s voice was icy, he didn't even glance at Xiao Jianfeng, let alone sense the anger in his voice. He seemed to have little brotherly affection for Xiao Jianfeng, simply feeling that Lu Xiaoteng had offended the prestige of the Xiao family.

"The members of the Xiao family are human, aren't they Are the members of the Prince's Manor, my juniors, not human If you think you can get me, just come find me."

Lu Xia Tian said softly, instantly causing Xiang Yi Hang as well as the Yuan Ying cultivators behind him to stare at Lu Xia Tian in astonishment. They looked at him as if he had gone mad. Who was Xiao Jing Lei The thunder attribute cultivation technique he practiced, Zhàn Qī Qíng (Sever Seven Emotions), Duàn Liù Yù (Cut Six Desires), and his aloofness towards life and death made him incredibly formidable. Among the six prominent Xiuxian families of Xiang Nation, Xiao Jing Lei was undoubtedly one of the most difficult to deal with. Even those powerful cultivators would avoid provoking him. Lu Xia Tian's lack of respect was shocking.

It was Ya, who was startled inside. He thought to himself, "When did this master of mine become so bold"

"Good, I hope when I come to you again, you'll still have this spirit." The water-like projection in front of them blurred for a moment, the shadows of Xiao Jinlei and Zhu Qingquan simultaneously vanished like Sa Miyu. However, Xiao Jinlei's icy tone sent a shiver down the spines of everyone present.

Among all people, even Yu Ya's heart was a bit flustered. If Xiao Jinlei were to find Xiang Dou, it wouldn't be a joke.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Among the crowd, only two people showed a suspicious look on their faces, especially Xiang Yihang. Having fought wits and courage with Lu Xiaoxian many times, he thought he had everything under control, but was overturned by the other party and even destroyed his physical body. This was the biggest loss Xiang Yihang had suffered since his debut.

This person's mental state, Xiang Yihang knew very well. To say that Lu Xia Tian was a reckless and ruthless person who endured hardship for the sake of face, Xiang Yihang absolutely didn't believe it. This person's methods were quite mysterious, and his progress was also rapid. Could it be that in these two years, he had advanced to such a level, no longer fearing the threat of great cultivators Even if one were a genius, cultivation shouldn't progress so rapidly, right Xiang Yihang knew Lu Xia Tian's cultivation level very well. If he started from their first encounter, it would only be decades of effort, and it was impossible to advance to the stage of a great cultivator. But how could the other party defy someone like Xiao Jing Lei, who was a madman

Besides Xiang Yihang, another person filled with doubts was Xiang Lian'er. As early as when Lu Xiaoteng practiced diligently in Cao Sheng's mansion, she had already sensed something amiss. Lu Xiaoteng had immersed himself in cultivation, ignoring worldly affairs, for decades. He was a man of profound wisdom, yet he acted foolishly like an ordinary cultivator This completely contradicted Lu Xiaoteng's original impression of him.

"I didn't expect Mr. Dongfang to be so powerful. I, Hou Lie, am a general of great importance in the Immortal Dynasty. Prince Xiang Hua wouldn't act rashly either, but that young man, Mr. Dongfang, is indeed being held in the mansion. If Mr. Dongfang is willing to give me a healing pill or spiritual object for my injury, and release Miss Yu Xiaoqiao, it would be acceptable." Hou Lie coughed several times, his expression unusually weak.

"Is there any room for negotiation now" Lu Xia Tian controlled his left hand, reaching into the void and grabbing a cry. Hou Xiyu was terrified as she was pulled by Lu Xia Tian, her face full of fear, covering her neck with both hands. Her body uncontrollably flew towards Lu Xia Tian.
