Chapter 63: Do You Guiyuan Martial Sect Still Have Any Face Left?

Elder Gui Teng of the Guiyuan Martial Sect directly ordered them to capture Xiao Yang.

Chu Xiao and the others just stood there, motionless.

Are you kidding? This guy is Xiao Yang, Xiao Yang!

The man who defeated the young Holy Maiden of the Fuyiao Sword Sect.

Chu Xiao and the others felt a jolt of disbelief mixed with outrage.

Gui Teng wants them to take down Xiao Yang?

Isn’t that just asking them to get beaten up?

“A dignified Elder of the Guiyuan Martial Sect can’t even command the Sect Disciples?” Xiao Yang said coldly.

Gui Teng’s face darkened at his words.

Everyone looked at Gui Teng.

“Why aren’t you making a move?”

Gui Teng was losing face and yelled angrily at Chu Xiao and the others.

Chu Xiao remained indifferent, but the two disciples behind him exchanged worried glances, unsure of what to do.

After all, Gui Teng might be a jerk, but he was still an Inner Disciple Elder of the Guiyuan Martial Sect. If they didn’t give him face, he might target them in the future or even retaliate.

“Elder, forgive us! We only follow the command of the Holy Son!” Chu Xiao directly brought up the Sect Holy Son of the Guiyuan Martial Sect.

“You…!”

Gui Teng couldn’t believe that Chu Xiao dared to disobey his orders and even used the Sect Holy Son to put him in a tough spot, making him lose face in front of everyone.

“Ha! What kind of Elder are you?” Xiao Yang couldn’t help but chuckle, showing a hint of disdain.

Although Gui Teng was an Inner Disciple Elder of the Guiyuan Martial Sect, his status was a far cry from that of the Sect Holy Son.

The Sect Holy Son is someone Gui Teng can only look up to.

In every sect, the Holy Son enjoys a revered status, being the heir of the Sect Leader, destined to inherit the position, barring any mishaps.

Gui Teng was just an Inner Disciple Elder.

If an ancestor of the Gui clan came in person, the Sect Holy Son, Chu Guiyuan, might still give him a bit of face.

But what was Gui Teng?

He could only command some Inner Disciples without backgrounds within the sect.

Who would pay attention to him if they had a background?

Of course, he was a Gui clan member, so he had a solid backing. Generally speaking, Chu Xiao and the others didn’t want to offend him.

But now it was different.

They knew they weren’t Xiao Yang’s opponents.

They didn’t want to be used as cannon fodder by someone like Gui Teng.

Gui Teng, humiliated and furious, thundered, “Fine! Then I’ll personally take down this madman!”

He stepped forward, and a fierce aura erupted from him.

“You shameless old man, dare to touch our Senior Brother and see what happens!” Song Qiang scolded.

At this moment, all the disciples of the Qingyang Sword Sect were enraged by this bully who was making trouble for their Senior Brother.

Lei Renjie and Li Yunhu shot fierce glares at Gui Teng.

“What? Not happy? A bunch of ants daring to be reckless in front of a dragon, simply clueless about their own mortality.” Gui Teng stepped forward again, his powerful aura sweeping over them.

Everyone was taken aback; it felt like a giant mountain was suddenly pressing down on them, threatening to break their backs.

“So strong…”

Lei Renjie and the others had to use their energy to resist.

“Old man, do you dare…?” Song Qiang shouted angrily.

“Shut up!” Gui Teng waved his hand dismissively.

“Smack!”

A loud slap echoed, sending Song Qiang flying into a nearby stall, landing in a horrible mess.

Zheng Fan and Qi Xuan hurried to help Song Qiang up and moved him aside.

“You dare touch my disciple?” Xiao Yang yelled furiously upon seeing Song Qiang’s swollen left cheek.

“Hmph, not only do I dare touch your disciple, but I also want to have a word with you, the esteemed Holy Son of the Qingyang Sword Sect,” Gui Teng pressed closer to Xiao Yang, making the very heavens tremble as he stepped.

Just a mere Heavenly Martial Realm ant, completely unaware of its insignificance.

Gui Teng’s imposing presence shook everyone with fear.

Xiao Yang, however, clenched his fists tightly, glaring at Gui Teng, utterly unafraid.

“Impudent child, how dare you! Apologize to Elder Gui!” At that moment, Xiao Zhenshan’s voice boomed.

“Apologize to this bully?” Xiao Yang laughed angrily.

“Big Brother, don’t be foolish! Offending the Guiyuan Martial Sect could doom our Xiao family!” his sister Xiao Yue exclaimed anxiously.

“Yang’er, don’t act recklessly!” their mother Chen Ruolan shouted nervously at Xiao Yang.

“Ha ha…”

Xiao Yang laughed bitterly. So this is how it felt—standing up against oppression, striving for justice, and all his family saw was him ‘acting recklessly’ and ‘being foolish’?

“Now even if you kneel and beg for mercy, it’s too late. I won’t spare your Xiao family, a mere Xiao family, I could wipe them out with a flip of my hand!” Gui Teng said with smug satisfaction.

“Really?” Xiao Yang’s gaze turned icy, and a killing intent arose within him, ready to unleash his flying sword at a moment’s notice.

With his speed, even a true Divine Martial Realm expert wouldn’t be able to block his attack within ten zhang.

Let alone Gui Teng, who was barely half a step into the Divine Martial Realm?

If this Gui Teng was looking for death, so be it; he would fulfill that wish.

“What a big show of power!” At that moment, a loud shout erupted suddenly from a horse-drawn cart, and a figure pushed aside the curtain and stepped down.

“Elder Lei…”

Xiao Zhenshan quickly rushed forward with a smile.

Law Enforcement Elder Lei Lie ignored Xiao Zhenshan.

Xiao Zhenshan’s eager greeting fell flat; it was quite awkward.

“Greetings, Elder…” Everyone bowed to the Law Enforcement Elder.

“Master…” Lei Renjie stepped forward.

Xiao Yang looked at Lei Lie calmly.

Finally couldn’t stay put anymore?

If it weren’t for Lei Lie suddenly stepping out of the cart, Gui Teng would have been lying dead on the ground by now.

“Lei Lie?” Gui Teng was shocked to see Lei Lie.

“Hey, you little bastard! It’s been years, and you’re still as despicable and shameless as ever!” Lei Lie stood firmly in front of Gui Teng.

“Lei Lie…” Gui Teng glared at Lei Lie, gritting his teeth in fury.

Xiao Yang was surprised at this scene; it seemed there was some history between Lei Lie and Gui Teng.

He hadn’t heard of any grievances between them in his last life.

Back then, his focus had been on his junior sister Jiang Ting and Qin Fei, completely oblivious to other matters.

“The conflict between the Xiao and Liu families should be settled by them. What do you think you’re doing barging in here?” Lei Lie sneered.

“What about your Sect Holy Son beating my nephew? Is that any better?” Gui Teng shot back angrily.

“Pfft, you’re a cultivator, yet your nephew got beat up because he was weak—he had it coming!” Lei Lie scoffed.

“What did you say?” Gui Teng was furious.

“Isn’t that the truth? As a senior, you use your higher cultivation to bully the younger generation; don’t you have any self-respect? Does your Guiyuan Martial Sect still have any face left?” Lei Lie shot back directly.

“Outrageous! No matter what, your Sect Holy Son committing murder and assault on the street is wrong! It’s your Qingyang Sword Sect that’s being a bully!” Gui Teng still refused to back down, pointing at Xiao Yang and yelling.

“Did you think I was giving you face?” Xiao Yang stared coldly at the finger pointing at him.

“You…”

“Bam!”

Xiao Yang vanished and appeared right in front of Gui Teng, smashing a fist into his face.

“Yap-yap-yap, really asking for it!”

“Bam!”

Xiao Yang struck again, landing another blow to Gui Teng’s face.

“…”

Everyone’s jaws nearly dropped at this shocking scene.

Even Law Enforcement Elder Lei Lie looked bewildered.
