Chapter 665 - 674: What Is Your Identity?

The attendant was also startled by Li Xu’s words.

"Who is this person?" Li Xu demanded, pointing directly at Wen Qingye.

Hearing Li Xu, the attendant glanced at Wen Qingye, a troubled look appearing on his face.

Li Xu sneered. "What? Is his identity a secret? Or is it that you don’t even know?"

After speaking, Li Xu’s gaze grew even sharper.

Hearing Li Xu’s words, cold sweat began to slowly trickle down the attendant’s forehead.

SWOOSH!

A black blur shot past.

Most people present only saw a blur before Li Xu appeared in front of the attendant, grabbing his neck with one hand, a cold light glinting in his eyes.

He violently hoisted the attendant up and said coldly, "Speak. Are you looking down on us?"

The attendant’s face was filled with terror, his hands flailing constantly.

Far away, a man stood high on a pavilion floor, leaning against the railing and watching the scene. He couldn’t help but sneer. "The Mountain River Sect really has guts, daring to make a move in the Heaven-Ascending Tower."

This man was dressed in purple robes, with the three pale gold characters for "Thousand Nether Valley" embroidered on the edges. He was Gu Lian, the new Inspection Disciple of the Thousand Nether Valley in the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty, with a cultivation at the Fourth Heaven of Life and Death Realm.

A person from the Thousand Nether Valley beside him shook his head repeatedly. "Although the Mountain River Sect is backed by Taiyi Pavilion, the background of this Heaven-Ascending Tower is not simple either. This Li Xu is being far too reckless."

And in another corner, some people from the Sword Sect were also present.

Countless experts in the vicinity all moved away, not daring to get too close. They knew that while their own factions were decent, they were still a far cry from a Super Sect like this.

The leading Sword Sect disciple had sharp eyes and heroic brows, his body as straight as a spear. His aura was overwhelming, like a drawn sword. He was Lü Xiongjie, the Sword Sect’s Inspection Disciple in the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty, at the Peak of Life and Death Realm Fourth Level.

Seeing this, a Sword Sect disciple beside him couldn’t help but remark quietly, "I never thought that while Pan Zhongyi is a formidable figure, this Pan Jieming would turn out to be... this kind of person. It’s quite disappointing."

Lü Xiongjie looked at Wen Qingye next to the attendant and shook his head. "This kid is probably in for it. With only a Yin-Yang Realm cultivation, I think this Li Xu from the Mountain River Sect will probably make an example of him to curry favor with Pan Jieming."

The surrounding Sword Sect disciples all nodded deeply in agreement.

Gu Lian of the Thousand Nether Valley and Lü Xiongjie of the Sword Sect stood on opposite sides of the second-floor railing, their gazes fixed on the scene below. Many of the surrounding factions kept their distance.

At this moment, Xiaohui, who was slowly walking in through the entrance, looked at Wen Qingye in surprise and said, "Hey, Xiaoyu, isn’t that the boy we just saw?"

Xiaoyu cast her gaze over, looking at Wen Qingye’s completely unruffled face. For some reason, the more she looked, the more familiar he seemed.

Xiaohui pointed at Li Xu in horror. "I know who that is! It’s Li Xu from the Mountain River Sect, a genius on the Cyan Cloud List! His cultivation is terrifying, already at the Life and Death Realm First Layer Heaven. That kid offended Li Xu; he’s probably done for."

’A Life and Death Realm expert?’ Xiaohui was startled, and she looked toward Li Xu.

Li Xu looked at the attendant before him, but his peripheral vision was on the surrounding crowd. Seeing many of them showing expressions of awe and fear, he felt extremely satisfied.

Then, he pointed an expressionless finger at Wen Qingye and said to the attendant, "I’ll give you two choices. First, tell me why you’re serving him. Second, kneel and apologize to me."

The attendant took one look and hurriedly said, "I... I... kneel..."

SMACK!

Before the attendant could finish, a crisp sound cut him off. An arm had grabbed Li Xu’s. Li Xu’s grip subconsciously loosened, and the attendant fell to the ground.

The attendant landed on the ground, gasping for fresh air, feeling as if he had just survived a disaster.

Everyone’s brows furrowed as they looked at the owner of the arm. It was none other than Wen Qingye.

In this situation, Wen Qingye had no choice but to act.

"Are you looking to die?"

Li Xu glared at Wen Qingye, his eyes filled with an icy chill.

Wen Qingye just smiled faintly, completely unconcerned by Li Xu’s threat. "You want to know my identity?"

Hearing Wen Qingye’s words, Li Xu’s eyes showed a trace of curiosity. "Oh? And what identity is that?"

Wen Qingye said casually, "You are not qualified to ask my identity. Have Li Zhenyuan come and ask me."

The crowd burst into an uproar!

Hearing Wen Qingye’s words, everyone in the crowd was utterly astonished.

Who was Li Zhenyuan? He was the Sect Master of the Mountain River Sect! Yet this young man was telling him to have Li Zhenyuan himself ask the questions. What on earth was his identity?

Li Xu’s heart sank. He stared coldly at Wen Qingye and said, "You little bastard, you dare to mock me?"

Besides being the Sect Master of the Mountain River Sect, Li Zhenyuan was also Li Xu’s father. How could he not be enraged after hearing Wen Qingye’s words?

Xiaohui watched Wen Qingye and pursed her lips. "This kid is really bold. Doesn’t he know who Li Xu is?"

Xiaoyu didn’t seem to hear Xiaohui’s words. She looked down, muttering to herself, "So familiar, so familiar... Where have I seen him before?"

Hearing Li Xu, Wen Qingye’s eyes turned cold. Just as he was about to speak, Pan Jieming, who was behind Li Xu, snorted. "Li Xu, you can’t even handle a nobody? Is this all the great disciple of the Mountain River Sect is capable of? How disappointing."

Li Xu’s heart trembled when he heard Pan Jieming, and his pupils constricted sharply.

"Kid, kneel for me!"

Li Xu roared and charged at Wen Qingye, simultaneously reaching for his neck.

Everyone exchanged glances, not expecting Li Xu to actually dare to attack in the Heaven-Ascending Tower, just like that.

In an instant, Li Xu reached Wen Qingye’s side.

But in the next moment, the situation changed abruptly, catching everyone completely by surprise.

Li Xu’s body shot backward like an arrow released from a bow.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A wooden table was smashed to pieces by the impact of Li Xu’s body as he crashed to the floor.

Gu Lian stared at the scene in shock.

Lü Xiongjie also shot to his feet.

Xiaohui stared dumbfounded at Li Xu on the ground.

Everyone was stunned, so shocked by the scene before them that they were speechless. All eyes immediately turned to the young man who remained as calm and unruffled as ever.

No one present knew what had just happened.

"Wh-what’s going on?"

"How did Li Xu get sent flying back? Does that kid have an expert protecting him?"

"But Li Xu is a Life and Death Realm expert! Did some other master make a move?"
