With a loud crash, the gate of Zijing Martial Arts School was smashed to pieces! 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

The attack from Elder Shi elicited a chorus of gasps! Without a Celestial Realm master holding fort in Luo City, a Quasi-Celestial Realm expert was akin to Sect Master level; where had they ever witnessed the assault of a Celestial Realm expert?

For a time, all the Sect Masters were whispering amongst themselves.

"Elder Shi truly lives up to his reputation as a Celestial Realm master! The force of a single blow is so dominant!"

"In fact, it would suffice for Elder Shi alone to make a move, and Zijing Martial Arts School would fall into our hands easily—there’s no need for the Young Sect Master to take action personally."

"Zijing Martial Arts School and Sanhe Martial Arts School are really unlucky; who told them to have a not insignificant relationship with Mr. Qin? Our sects are merely sparring according to the rules.

But that cleanup at Sanhe Martial Arts School was ruthless! It was either a broken arm or a broken leg, I heard only the head instructor managed to escape."

"That head instructor is quite interesting, possessing an air of simplicity! Such a pity, too young—given another two years, perhaps our Luo City might have had its own Celestial Realm master."

Amidst the whispered discussions of the Sect Masters, Qin Yu’s rage toward Chu Lingxuan grew even stronger! Taking such vicious measures against Zijing Martial Arts School and Sanhe Martial Arts School while he was away!

Courting death!

After executing that move, Elder Shi was brimming with confidence. He turned back and cupped his hands towards Chu Lingxuan, "Young Master, to deal with the trifling Zijing Martial Arts School, one subordinate is enough; please, enjoy the show from the sidelines."

"Proceed," Chu Lingxuan responded.

Qin Yu snorted disdainfully; the Zijing Martial Arts School had activated its protective formation! This defensive array was set up by Yang Jingling herself.

Yang Jingling, the Saintess of the Heavenly Secret Sect—was her formation something to be trifled with?

Qin Yu was certain, Elder Shi would definitely suffer a loss!

And a significant one at that!

With his master’s permission, Elder Shi strode into the entrance of the Zijing Martial Arts School!

As he entered, Elder Shi was taken aback.

What was happening? Why were the surroundings suddenly spinning so rapidly?

Soon, Elder Shi felt he had arrived at an unfamiliar place!

Before Elder Shi could snap out of it, he heard the sound of something cutting through the air! Instinctively tilting his head, whoosh—a gust of wind scurried past his ear!

Elder Shi reached up to touch his ear, finding it sticky! Elder Shi was furious—he was an esteemed Celestial Realm master and he had been wounded in Zijing Martial Arts School?

This was too embarrassing!

Elder Shi roared furiously, launching an attack with venomous intent at whatever was in front of him—be it an illusion or a wall, he was confident his fist could shatter it!

To Elder Shi’s surprise, his punch hit nothing but air!

The missed strike threw Elder Shi off balance, and he staggered forward a few steps.

Suddenly, Elder Shi felt a numbness in his ankle and, looking down, he saw an animal trap clamped to it!

A faint blue glow flickered on the animal trap, clearly smeared with potent poison!

Elder Shi’s face went pale as he quickly crouched down, using both hands to forcefully pry open the trap and pull out his bloodied ankle!

Elder Shi took out a jade bottle, spilled out a Detoxification Pill, and shoved it into his mouth.

Summoning his spirit, Elder Shi continued to charge forward; he had made a military pledge to the Young Sect Master—failing to take down Zijing Martial Arts School would be a huge blow to his pride!

But barely taking two steps, he ran headlong into a wall with a loud thud!

Elder Shi felt his mind wasn’t working properly; when there was a wall in front of him, his punch should have made an impact, yet there was no reaction at all.
