"What?"

Liao Xinghu was completely stunned when he heard what Lin Chang’sheng said.

The Heaven-Suppressing Sect and Spirit Mountain had always had a pretty good relationship, so the two of them knew each other well.

He never thought Gao Yao would choose to help Yu Lanfeng?

"Are your ears broken or what?"

Lin Chang’sheng snapped coldly. Tribulation Crossing Stage experts were nothing to him, let alone someone at the Mahayana Stage like Liao Xinghu.

"Elder Gao, are you really going to help this bitch and become enemies with my Heaven-Suppressing Sect?"

Liao Xinghu’s brows furrowed tight, his heart trembling—Gao Yao was siding with Yu Lanfeng? Even at the risk of becoming Heaven-Suppressing Sect’s enemy?

"Not quite. I just have my eyes on that hammer in your hand! Didn’t you say you had a treasure to give away? Or was that a lie?"

Lin Chang’sheng replied coldly.

Liao Xinghu had tried to kill Lin Chang’sheng last time, but failed. Lin Chang’sheng still remembered that well.

If the other party wanted him dead, then he would absolutely not spare them either.

Otherwise, it would be trouble down the road.

As for offending the Heaven-Suppressing Sect, Lin Chang’sheng didn’t care in the slightest.

After all, he’d already offended more than a few sects—what’s one more Heaven-Suppressing Sect?

"You think a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure can just be given away? Elder Gao, aren’t your demands a bit much?"

Liao Xinghu’s face was dark as night, but he didn’t dare lose his temper—he knew he was no match for Gao Yao. Looked like it’d be hard to get the Holy Pill today.

"So, what you’re saying is you won’t give me the treasure?"

Lin Chang’sheng’s gaze turned icy cold, overflowing with murderous intent.

"Elder Gao, don’t push me too far!"

Liao Xinghu’s fists clenched tight, each word squeezed out with rage.

If he was stronger than his opponent, he would have struck and killed him long ago.

But unfortunately, he was no match for Gao Yao, so all he could do was stew in humiliation.

Lin Chang’sheng’s Disguise Technique was truly formidable—so long as he didn’t slip up, the other side couldn’t see through him at all.

So Liao Xinghu had always believed he really was Gao Yao.

"Weren’t you just bullying a woman? And what’s wrong with me bullying you? If you won’t hand over the treasure, then leave your life behind instead!"

Lin Chang’sheng declared bluntly.

This left Yu Lanfeng utterly surprised.

She and Gao Yao didn’t really have any connection, right?

And yet he was standing up for her?

Could it be he was after the Holy Pill on her too? Otherwise, why would he be so kind?

"This is outrageous! Gao Yao, you ruined my plans—I’ll remember this. Next time we meet, I will make you pay!"

Liao Xinghu roared angrily. He might not be able to beat Gao Yao in a fight, but it wasn’t a problem to escape.

Liao Xinghu was already in the late stage of Mahayana, nearly breaking through to the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

This grudge, he would repay soon enough.

So after these words, Liao Xinghu prepared to retreat.

But just as he tried to leave, Lin Chang’sheng had no intention of letting him go.

"Since that’s the case, then you can’t be allowed to leave!"

Lin Chang’sheng clenched his fist, and the sky around them suddenly grew dark and oppressive.

Crack—

Streaks of lightning flickered; in the next instant, countless bolts of lightning swept down from the sky, blasting toward Liao Xinghu.

Faced with this sudden Divine Thunder attack, Liao Xinghu dared not face it head-on. He could only twist and dodge desperately.

BOOM—

But the storm of Celestial Thunder was only getting denser, leaving him with nowhere to run. He could only swing his massive hammer to block.

Bolt after bolt of Divine Thunder collided with his giant hammer, crashing with thunderous explosions.

Liao Xinghu felt his arms go numb from the shock.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

At the same moment, Lin Chang’sheng summoned the Divine Thunder Bow and unleashed nine Thunder Flame Arrows in a blazing volley.

The arrows ripped through the air at lightning speed, all aimed at Liao Xinghu’s vital points.

After firing nine arrows, Lin Chang’sheng expanded his Force Field Realm, its oppressive power slowing Liao Xinghu’s movements so much that he couldn’t dodge the rain of arrows.

"This..."

Seeing Thunderbolt Arrows closing in instantly, utterly unable to avoid them, Liao Xinghu panicked and had no choice but to swing his hammer in desperate defense.

Bang, bang, bang—

The arrows slammed against the hammer in rapid succession, erupting in violent blasts.

Before Liao Xinghu could react, more arrows punched in from the left and right.

And Divine Thunder crashed down from above, too.

"Celestial Spirit Shield!"

Knowing there was no escape, Liao Xinghu roared, an aura of blue light shining from around him—his primordial power condensed into a deep blue protective shield.

BOOM—

In the next instant, countless Celestial Thunder Arrows slammed into the Elemental Shield protecting Liao Xinghu, sending out wave after wave of thunderous rumbles.

Under the fierce bombing, Liao Xinghu was blasted into the ground, carving out a deep pit.

Clearly, these Thunder Flame Arrows and Celestial Thunder were not to be underestimated.

Huff—

Just then, Liao Xinghu leapt from the pit and landed heavily on the ground.

He looked battered and wretched, but he hadn’t suffered any fatal wounds.

"You’re not Gao Yao... You’re Lin Chang’sheng?"

Liao Xinghu suddenly realized he’d been deceived.

The Immortal Techniques used were clearly Lin Chang’sheng’s.

And judging by the Primordial Power fluctuations, he wasn’t even at the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

"You only realized now? Isn’t it a bit late for that?"

Lin Chang’sheng said coldly. Now that he’d struck, he had no intention of letting Liao Xinghu live or hiding anymore.

"Lin Chang’sheng?"

Hearing him admit it, Yu Lanfeng was shocked.

Why would Lin Chang’sheng save her? She had no connection to him whatsoever.

"You think you can kill me? You little bastard, I’m ending you today to keep you from straying down the wrong path and bringing disaster upon the Immortal Realm!"

Now that he knew the man wasn’t Gao Yao but Lin Chang’sheng, Liao Xinghu abandoned all thought of fleeing and set out to kill Lin Chang’sheng.
