"Want to know who I am?"

Zhuge Wenqing’s lips curled slightly. He lightly shook his White Feather Fan and slowly walked up to the Great Elder.

Even though there wasn’t the slightest True Qi Fluctuation on him.

Standing before this Heavenly Rank Perfection powerhouse, in terms of aura, he wasn’t at a disadvantage in the slightest.

It was obvious at a glance.

His lack of fear toward the Great Elder wasn’t some forced act he was putting on.

Whether from his eyes or his expression, you couldn’t find the slightest trace of fear.

Which meant—

He was absolutely confident in his heart.

Facing the Great Elder, this Heavenly Rank Perfection powerhouse, he truly felt no fear; he wasn’t deliberately pretending to be badass.

The Great Elder looked at this somewhat mysterious Zhuge Wenqing standing before him and forcibly suppressed his anger.

Normally, if it were an ordinary person, an ant-like existence, daring to provoke him like this—

He would have already slapped them into the ground and taught them how to behave.

But today, facing Zhuge Wenqing—

His instincts told the Great Elder that he absolutely could not do that.

Because he had a premonition.

Once he laid a hand on the Zhuge Wenqing in front of him, it would bring an unprecedented disaster down upon the Tie Sect.

And that kind of disaster would be far more terrifying than what the Chen Family could cause.

Enough to crush the Tie Sect in an instant.

So—

At this moment, the Great Elder had no choice but to be extra cautious.

After all, they had just gone through the Chen Family incident, and the Tie Sect had suffered heavy losses.

At such a critical juncture, the Great Elder really didn’t want to provoke an even more terrifying enemy.

"Indeed, whether you’re an enemy or a friend, I hope you can at least tell me a bit, so we don’t cause any unnecessary friendly fire!"

The Great Elder took a deep breath, forced down his temper, and asked.

"Hehehe!"

Zhuge Wenqing smiled disdainfully, lightly flicked his fan twice, and said blandly, "As enemies, your Tie Sect isn’t worthy to be my enemy. As for friends, you’re even less worthy!"

Arrogant!

Overbearing!

This was just too arrogant, too overbearing!

Looking across the entire Ancient Martial World—

The Tie Sect still counted as a top second-rate power. Even though they’d just been hit hard, they still had the Great Elder, this Heavenly Rank Perfection powerhouse, holding the fort.

But now—

This Zhuge Wenqing was actually saying the Tie Sect wasn’t worthy to be his enemy, much less his friend.

This was far too dismissive of the Tie Sect.

"You!!"

The Great Elder’s beard practically bristled with rage at Zhuge Wenqing’s words.

He forced down his anger, staring fixedly at Zhuge Wenqing, and said coldly, "Young man, you’ve repeatedly humiliated my Tie Sect. Do you really take my Tie Sect for a bunch of pushovers? Although we just suffered a crushing defeat, we’re not some stray cats and dogs that anyone can bully as they please. If you still refuse to tell me who you are and where you come from, then don’t blame me for being rude!"

"You want to be rude to me? I advise you to scrap that idea. Because once you do, the consequences afterward—forget your Tie Sect, even the strongest Sect in your Ancient Martial World, the Heavenly Mountain Snow Sect, couldn’t bear them. Got it?"

Zhuge Wenqing glanced at the Great Elder, still full of disdain, and sneered as he spoke.

Hearing this—

The Great Elder’s expression suddenly darkened. He gritted his teeth and asked coldly, "Who exactly are you?"

"If you want to know, bring your ear closer. I don’t like taking the initiative to crawl up to other people’s ears to speak."

Zhuge Wenqing hooked a finger at the Great Elder, his face full of playful amusement.

"Hmph!"

The Great Elder snorted coldly, took a deep breath, forced down his rage, tilted his head, and leaned his ear toward Zhuge Wenqing’s mouth.

At the same time, he cursed viciously in his heart: Hmph, you ignorant brat, you’d better give me an identity that’ll spare your life. Otherwise, this old man will definitely tear you to pieces today and make you pay a heavy price for your words and actions!

Watching the Great Elder voluntarily bring his ear close.

Zhuge Wenqing’s lips curled slightly. His right hand grasped the White Feather Fan, which he flicked lightly twice, and said blandly, "My name is Zhuge Wenqing."

Upon hearing this—

The Great Elder froze for a moment, then his face instantly filled with anger as he opened his mouth and roared, "This old man doesn’t care what Zhuge Wenqing you are, today I’ll—"

However, before the Great Elder could finish his sentence—

He heard Zhuge Wenqing continue to speak lightly into his ear: "I come from the Zhuge Family."

"What Zhuge Family?"

The Great Elder was stunned, and his expression shifted slightly.

"Still don’t get it? Then let me put it this way—I come from the Zhuge Family of that place."

Zhuge Wenqing said with a faint smile.

"That place!"

In this instant—

The Great Elder completely lost his composure.

Because he knew very clearly what those four words, "that place," actually represented.

It was a world that stood above even the Ancient Martial World.

And anyone who came from that place—

Was never a simple character.

At this moment—

The Great Elder finally understood why this young brat, with no True Qi Fluctuation in his body, could still stand before him with such confidence.

If he really came from that place—

Then he indeed had the capital to do so.

For a time—

The Great Elder’s expression changed as quickly as a face-changing opera mask; his anger vanished in an instant, replaced by a kindly smile.

He took a deep breath, looked at Zhuge Wenqing, and asked in an extremely polite tone, "You truly come from that place?"

"Otherwise? Do I need to lie to you?"

Zhuge Wenqing smiled faintly, his expression completely calm as he countered.

He didn’t look like he was lying at all.

Seeing this—

The Great Elder took several deep breaths in a row, letting himself gradually calm down.

Because the situation had changed far too quickly.

Even he was having trouble reacting.

The Zhuge Family of "that place"!

This was definitely a super clan that was many times more terrifying than the Heavenly Mountain Snow Sect.

As for the Zhuge Family—

The Great Elder didn’t know too many details.

He only knew that the ancestor of this family was that super powerhouse who stirred the winds and clouds at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

But the fact that this Zhuge Family could stand in "that place"—

Was enough to prove the clan’s terrifying strength.

In this regard—

In front of them, the Tie Sect really might be no different from a weak chicken.

No wonder, from the start—

Zhuge Wenqing hadn’t put him, this Heavenly Rank Perfection powerhouse, in his eyes.

In "that place"—

A Heavenly Rank Perfection powerhouse truly didn’t count for much.

And someone from the Zhuge Family like Zhuge Wenqing really could afford not to take a Heavenly Rank Perfection powerhouse seriously.

After taking several deep breaths—

The Great Elder gradually calmed down. He then looked at Zhuge Wenqing and, with a very courteous attitude, asked, "It was this old man who was discourteous earlier. May I ask for what matter you’ve come to my Tie Sect?"
