Chapter 2007: Chapter 1976: Elder Xiao Defeated
"Presumptuous! Who are you, daring to come to my Lingxin Sect and harm people?"
The elderly man in a black Tang suit strode over with rapid steps, angrily pointing at Chen Yang as he reprimanded loudly.
This elder possessed formidable strength, his mere words carrying an overwhelming force.
If an ordinary cultivator were present, they might be too terrified to stand steadily, shaken by just this one shout.
However, such an aura did not affect Chen Yang much, and with a wave of his hand, this atmosphere dissipated.
The elder was imposing, while Gu Xuanyu stood aside with a playful expression, seemingly watching a joke.
The other person was the same.
"I have no intention of being enemies with your Lingxin Sect, I’ve come just to take my friend away." Chen Yang replied calmly, neither arrogant nor humble.
The elder was strong, he could feel it.
But if the other party wanted to spark conflict, he certainly wouldn’t retreat.
"Hmph, you’ve injured people at the gates of my Lingxin Sect and still claim you don’t intend to oppose us?" The elder snorted coldly, staring icily at Chen Yang.
"Elder Xiao, Young Master Tang and Young Master Gu are esteemed guests of our Lingxin Sect, this matter cannot be dismissed easily. I think we must directly subdue him, or else our Lingxin Sect will certainly be mocked." A disciple beside him flared up.
The elder was a member of the Lingxin Sect council.
Initially, he recognized Chen Yang’s strength and didn’t wish to escalate things directly; he just wanted to reprimand Chen Yang and make him leave.
After all, their Lingxin Sect hadn’t suffered any substantial loss.
But after hearing the disciple’s words, he seemed compelled to act.
"Elder Xiao, this person is Chen Yang, who frequently opposes me. Today, he has come to Tianhua Mountain, clearly disregarding your esteemed sect. Without teaching him a lesson, the sect master might have difficulty speaking on it." Gu Xuanyu detested Chen Yang and naturally didn’t want to waste words, just wanted to apprehend Chen Yang swiftly.
He had always harbored resentment towards Chen Yang, initially considering Chen Yang’s formidable strength, planning slowly.
But now, Chen Yang had delivered himself to the door.
Such a great opportunity, wouldn’t it be a pity to miss?
The disciple’s words already compelled Elder Xiao to act, and with Gu Xuanyu’s remarks, he couldn’t avoid acting.
"Young Master Gu makes sense, such bold, irreverent people should be taught a lesson."
Elder Xiao squinted his eyes and immediately ordered, "Capture this person, life or death matters not."
"Yes!"
The ten or more disciples of Lingxin Sect behind him responded promptly, all drawing their weapons and using their strongest techniques to surround Chen Yang.
These disciples were all quite strong.
However, most were at the Qi Cultivation Realm, with only a few in the Spirit Gathering Realm.
"Together!"
Without a word, they launched an attack directly at Chen Yang.
Chen Yang realized that the so-called Young Master, along with Gu Xuanyu, were esteemed guests of Lingxin Sect.
From a certain perspective, they were on the same side.
Today, to take Liu Taoist away from here, a confrontation with Lingxin Sect was inevitable.
"I truly have no intention of offending Lingxin Sect, I only aim to rescue my friend. Since you insist, don’t blame me." Chen Yang emphasized again his lack of intent to offend, then he engaged the Lingxin Sect disciples without holding back, channeling spiritual power.
Facing the encirclement of more than ten people, he didn’t use the Stone-Cutting Sword, instead utilizing his fists as weapons to counterattack.
Even so, the power to injure was astonishing.
Each punch blasted out like it had the force of ten thousand pounds, knocking people back over ten meters.
Seeing this, the other disciples were stunned but quickly resumed their attack.
Facing the encirclement of more than ten people, Chen Yang remained calm, employing all the cultivation techniques he’d learned.
The Gathering Spirit Seal condensed violently and was unleashed.
The expected scene of suppressing Chen Yang didn’t occur; rather, the dozen disciples were being overwhelmed.
They retreated step by step, clearly not opponents.
From a distance, Gu Xuanyu frowned, seeing Chen Yang’s fierce combat capability, flames of anger burning in his eyes.
The Tang young master beside him squinted slightly, with some playfulness on his face, saying lightly, "Interesting, he’s certainly not ordinary."
"No wonder he dares to be presumptuous in my Lingxin Sect; turns out he has skills."
Elder Xiao remarked similarly.
"Elder Xiao, I think you should act personally and capture him quickly, otherwise the defeat of the disciples will damage Lingxin Sect’s reputation." The Tang young master turned to Elder Xiao.
"Alright!"
After a brief moment of thought, Elder Xiao agreed while stepping forward, "Useless bunch, move aside!"
Instantly, all the disciples attacking Chen Yang retreated orderly, forming a circle surrounding Chen Yang and Elder Xiao.
Seeing those disciples retreating as they couldn’t withstand him, Chen Yang didn’t choose to pursue them, stopping and standing in place.
"Young man, your strength is notable, but daring to offend my Lingxin Sect makes you in the wrong." Elder Xiao said coldly.
"I said, I have no intention of offending your Lingxin Sect, I’ve only come to rescue my friend, nothing more. If your Lingxin Sect insists on being accomplices to evil, then I have to be disrespectful." Chen Yang was somewhat annoyed.
It wasn’t the first time he expressed his stance, with no intention to provoke these people.
But the other party kept speaking righteously, yet repeatedly ignored his words.
Sanctimonious? Hypocritical.
"Hmph, no matter what, daring to ascend Tianhua Mountain is your fault, daring to harm on my Tianhua Mountain, you deserve to die." Elder Xiao’s voice rose sharply, simultaneously channeling abundant spiritual energy through his hands and suddenly attacking Chen Yang.
