Chapter 125: Two Stunned People (1)

After receiving the meager contribution points for completing the task, Chen Chuan left the Pill Hall and headed towards his residence.

However, he did not know that while he was diligently working in the Pill Hall, a storm had already brewed in the remote small courtyard where he lived.

Meanwhile, in the core area of the Outer Sect Disciple living quarters, inside a detached small building several times more spacious and luxurious than Chen Chuan’s, Zhao Hengjiang, sporting a face swollen like a pig’s head, stood before a person, accompanied by four lackeys who were equally bruised and swollen.

This person was dressed in white, had a stern face and sharp eyes, and faintly exuded a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation around him.

This person was Wang Xuanbing, one of the members of the Qingtian Alliance, possessing the cultivation of the Peak of the Ninth Level of the Transcendence Realm.

Seeing Zhao Hengjiang’s appearance, Wang Xuanbing was first stunned, then the corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably, almost bursting out laughing.

He quickly coughed twice, managing to suppress the urge to laugh, and asked with forced seriousness:

"Junior Brother Zhao, what happened to you? Who was so audacious as to injure you like this?"

Zhao Hengjiang was already filled with suppressed anger and humiliation. Hearing Wang Xuanbing’s question now only fueled his rage.

He clutched his still throbbing cheek and complained indistinctly:

"Senior Brother Wang! You must stand up for me! It was some newly entered brat named Chen Chuan!"

He embellished the story, naturally omitting the part where he initiated the provocation.

He only recounted how arrogant and overbearing Chen Chuan was, how he disregarded their Qingtian Alliance, and even spoke wildly, claiming that everyone in the Qingtian Alliance was nothing but useless trash.

"Senior Brother Wang, that kid clearly looks down on our Qingtian Alliance! Hitting me, Zhao Hengjiang, is a small matter, but this is an insult to the face of our Qingtian Alliance, and even more so, an insult to my brother’s face!"

Zhao Hengjiang cried out tearfully, trying his best to incite him.

After listening to Zhao Hengjiang’s account, Wang Xuanbing’s expression gradually darkened.

Although he knew that Zhao Hengjiang was usually arrogant and morally questionable, he was, after all, a member of the Qingtian Alliance, and the biological younger brother of Alliance Master Zhao Ritian.

One must consider the master even when hitting the dog!

A newcomer who appeared out of nowhere dared to humiliate a member of the Qingtian Alliance so severely.

If this was not punished severely, what prestige would the Qingtian Alliance have left in the Outer Sect?

"Hmph, an ant at the Second Level of the Transcendence Realm dares to be so presumptuous!" Wang Xuanbing snorted coldly, a glint of coldness flashing in his eyes:

"Rest assured, Junior Brother Zhao, I will handle this matter. Anyone who dares to touch my Qingtian Alliance members must pay a painful price."

"Lead the way. I want to see which immortal dares to act so wildly in the Outer Sect."

Hearing this, Zhao Hengjiang was overjoyed, and the pain in his face seemed to lessen slightly.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Wang! With Senior Brother Wang taking action, that kid is done for. He lives in that broken courtyard to the west, I’ll lead the way now."

He could already imagine the miserable scene of Chen Chuan kneeling and begging for mercy under Wang Xuanbing’s hands, being humiliated by him at will.

The vengeful fire in his heart burned even more intensely.

Peak of the Ninth Level of the Transcendence Realm!

Dealing with Chen Chuan at the Second Level was simply like crushing an ant.

He was determined to repay today’s humiliation a hundredfold.

Zhao Hengjiang and his entourage swaggered through the Outer Sect Disciple living area.

Although Zhao Hengjiang, who was leading the group, had a face swollen like a pig’s head, the ruthlessness and smugness in his eyes were completely undisguised.

Beside him was the stern-faced, powerfully imposing Wang Xuanbing, followed by a group of Qingtian Alliance members whose auras were equally strong.

This lineup was enough to walk sideways in the Outer Sect, attracting countless gazes wherever they went.

"Look! It’s Zhao Hengjiang! His... his face, what happened to it?"

"Hiss... Who was bold enough to beat him like this?"

"Who else could it be? Looking at his direction, he must be going to settle a score! Is that Senior Brother Wang Xuanbing ahead?"

"My heavens, even Senior Brother Wang is involved? There’s going to be a good show!"

"I heard it was a newly arrived Disciple, named Chen Chuan, who beat up Zhao Hengjiang and his cronies this morning, and even took their storage rings."

"What? A new Disciple is that fierce? But now he’s in deep trouble. Offending Zhao Hengjiang means offending the Qingtian Alliance, and offending Senior Brother Zhao Ritian!"

"Senior Brother Zhao Ritian is at the Ninth Level Peak of the Great Power Realm, a candidate for Inner Sect Disciple, and an absolute authority in the Outer Sect! This Chen Chuan is probably finished."

"Let’s go, let’s follow and see which unlucky soul is about to meet disaster."

Discussions spread like a tide, with various gazes interwoven.

More and more people put down what they were doing and followed Zhao Hengjiang’s group from afar, all wanting to witness this impending spectacle firsthand.

Soon, Zhao Hengjiang led Wang Xuanbing and the others to Chen Chuan’s residence.

Bang!

The wooden door of the small courtyard was violently kicked open, the door panel groaning under the strain, nearly falling apart.

Inside the small courtyard, Wang Lan and Yang Shu had just returned from completing their daily Sect mission and were preparing to meditate and Cultivate to consolidate their progress.

The loud sound of the door being kicked open startled them both, jolting them out of their meditation.

When they saw the group of people surging in through the doorway, especially Zhao Hengjiang with his venomous eyes, their faces instantly turned ashen white, completely devoid of color.

"We’re... done for..."

Wang Lan’s lips trembled, and his voice shook.

Yang Shu was so frightened his legs went weak, almost unable to stand steadily, his heart filled with despair.

The thing they feared most had finally happened.

Zhao Hengjiang truly wouldn’t let the matter rest, and this time he had managed to invite an expert like Wang Xuanbing.

Zhao Hengjiang’s sinister gaze swept across the dilapidated small courtyard, but he did not find Chen Chuan.

His expression immediately became uglier.

He roared fiercely: "Where is that bastard Chen Chuan? Where is he hiding? Get out here for me!"

Wang Lan and Yang Shu’s hearts pounded, and they forced themselves to endure the terror, keeping their heads down, not daring to look at Zhao Hengjiang.

"Speak! Where is Chen Chuan?"

Zhao Hengjiang stepped forward. Although his pressure as a Third Level of the Transcendence Realm expert was somewhat weakened due to his injuries, it still made the two, who were only at the Void Breaking Realm, feel suffocated.

"We... we don’t know..." Wang Lan mustered his courage, answering in a weak voice.
