Chapter 339 - 160: Domineering 2

As Liang Cheng watched the fist approach, a glint of seriousness finally appeared in his eyes.

Nascent Fist Intent!

His opponent was also a True Pill Powerhouse!

He took a breath. In his Sea of Consciousness, a golden ocean surged with tumultuous waves!

He threw a punch!

This punch held no heaven-shaking might, only a force condensed to its absolute limit. Driven by his Fist Intent, it boomed forward.

Fist Intent clashed with Fist Intent!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a dull, muffled roar.

Song Que was sent flying back a hundred feet, landing on the Dharma Ship. He stumbled back seven or eight more steps before steadying himself. He looked down at his right fist.

A crack had formed across his knuckles, and blood was seeping out.

He looked up at Liang Cheng, his eyes filled with shock.

"Fist Intent..."

"You’ve comprehended Fist Intent as well?!"

The entire scene fell deathly silent.

Han Cheng’s face was ashen. The two Disciples from the Second Peak behind him stared at each other in disbelief.

The smile on Gu Changge’s face froze solid.

Blade Intent!

Fist Intent!

’Is Liang Cheng such a prodigy?’

Gu Changge immediately had a bad feeling and felt a pang of regret.

Liang Cheng retracted his fist and looked at Song Que, still not saying a word.

After a long silence, Song Que cupped his fist in his hand.

"I have learned my lesson."

He turned to look at Han Cheng.

"Let’s go."

Han Cheng opened his mouth, but couldn’t utter a single word.

The three Dharma Ships slowly began to retreat.

Just then, Liang Cheng spoke.

"Gu Changge."

Gu Changge stopped in his tracks. He turned to look at him and forced a smile. "Junior Brother Liang, is there something else?"

Liang Cheng stared at him.

"You were the one who provoked Han Cheng into causing trouble for me."

"You were also the one who let Song Que make a move while you stood by and watched the show."

He took a step forward, walking through the air toward Gu Changge.

"You’ve played your little games quite well."

Gu Changge’s expression changed, and he instinctively retreated.

"Junior Brother Liang, it’s a misunderstanding! This is all a misunderstanding—!"

Before he could finish his sentence, Liang Cheng was already in front of him.

He raised a hand.

And grabbed for Gu Changge’s throat!

Gu Changge’s face drained of color. The Pill Qi around his body erupted as he tried to retreat in a hurry!

But while he was fast, Liang Cheng was faster!

The hand seemed to pass through space itself, clamping directly onto his throat. Gu Changge was lifted into the air, his limbs flailing, but he couldn’t break free at all!

"Liang Cheng—! You dare touch me?! I’m from the Seventh Peak—!"

Liang Cheng looked at him, his gaze calm.

"So what if you’re from the Seventh Peak?"

"Inciting conflict between fellow disciples, scheming in the shadows... We need to settle this score properly."

He turned, dragged Gu Changge along, and stepped onto the Cloud-Piercing Shuttle.

The Cloud-Piercing Shuttle changed direction and tore through the sky, vanishing.

Back on the ground, Song Que, Han Cheng, and the others stared blankly in the direction the Cloud-Piercing Shuttle had disappeared.

Han Cheng muttered,

"Where is he going?"

Song Que was silent for a moment before saying slowly,

"The Seventh Peak."

...

「Seventh Peak, outside the mountain gate.」

The Cloud-Piercing Shuttle hovered in mid-air.

Liang Cheng stood in the sky, holding Gu Changge by the throat.

He looked up at the towering mountain peak and took a deep breath.

His voice, like a clap of Thunder, echoed across the entire Seventh Peak:

"Liang Cheng, Direct Disciple of the First Peak, has come to pay a visit!"

"I ask the Peak Master of the Seventh Peak to give me an explanation!"

As his voice faded, figures flickered into view on the Seventh Peak.

Dozens of figures shot out from all directions, landing inside and outside the mountain gate. There were Inner Sect Disciples, Stewards, and a few Elders with profound auras.

They all looked at Liang Cheng with varied expressions.

Surprise, curiosity...

But most of all, hostility.

A gray-robed Elder stepped forward and frowned.

"Liang Cheng, what is the meaning of this? Do you think the Seventh Peak is defenseless, that you can just show up at our gate dragging one of our Disciples?"

Liang Cheng looked at him and said coolly,

"Gu Changge incited Han Cheng of the Second Peak to make an enemy of me. Afterward, he sowed discord with the intent of using a borrowed blade to kill. I have come today merely to seek justice."

The gray-robed Elder was taken aback by his words and looked at Gu Changge.

Gu Changge, still held by the throat, his face flushed red, struggled to rasp out,

"Uncle-Master... save me... He... he’s lying..."

The gray-robed Elder’s frown deepened.

"Liang Cheng, release him first. Whatever you have to say, you can come inside and say it."

Liang Cheng shook his head.

"No rush."

"We’ll talk once everyone has arrived."

His gaze passed over the mountain gate, looking toward the depths of the Seventh Peak.

From there, a tyrannical aura was rapidly approaching. A moment later, a figure arrived through the air, landing before the gate.

He appeared to be in his early thirties, with sharp brows and bright eyes. Dressed in a white robe, his aura was as piercing as a sword.

As soon as he appeared, the surrounding Disciples all bowed in salute.

"Eldest Brother!"

When Gu Changge saw the newcomer, a flicker of hope appeared in his eyes, and he struggled even more fiercely.

"Big Brother... save me!"

’Big Brother?’

Liang Cheng looked at the young man in the white robe.

Gu Tianya.

Eldest Disciple of the Seventh Peak, Core Formation Late Stage, ranked ninth in the Inner Sect.

Gu Tianya glanced at Gu Changge, who was still being held by Liang Cheng, then turned his calm gaze to Liang Cheng.

"Junior Brother Liang, release my little brother first."

Liang Cheng shook his head.

"No rush."

Gu Tianya’s brow furrowed.

"Junior Brother Liang, by dragging my brother to our gate, you are slapping the Seventh Peak in the face."

Liang Cheng looked at him.

"Your brother has caused trouble for me time and time again. Do you expect me to just swallow my anger and say nothing?"

Hearing this, Gu Tianya fell silent for a breath.

"My brother’s temperament can be a bit flippant, but he wouldn’t go so far as to do something like this. There must be some misunderstanding."

Liang Cheng said, "Whether it’s a misunderstanding or not, we’ll know just by asking him."

He released his grip.

Gu Changge fell to the ground, coughing violently and gasping for air.

Gu Tianya asked in a low voice,

"What happened?"

Gu Changge caught his breath and looked up at Liang Cheng, his eyes filled with hatred.

"Big Brother, he’s framing me!"

"I just happened to run into him at the Scripture Pavilion and kindly mentioned a few things about Dragon Burial Island. Who knew he would repay my kindness with malice and stir up trouble?"

"He was the one who was too arrogant when he first joined the sect and offended Han Cheng. Now he’s turning it around and blaming me! Big Brother, I’ve been wronged!"

Gu Tianya looked at Liang Cheng.

"Junior Brother Liang, what do you have to say?"
