"You dare insult my Ice River Valley?" Elder Tian She barked coldly.
"Did I insult you?" Wei Yang's lips curved into a faint arc, "Isn't it that you brought shame upon yourselves?"
"You…!" Elder Tian She was seething with rage, yet at this moment his heart wavered, the other side was far too unyielding.
But if he backed off now, turned and left with his people like cowards, then the name of Ice River Valley, after today, would truly become a laughingstock.
Seeing Elder Tian She's expression of being caught riding a tiger, Wei Yang let out a cold laugh, "Still standing there stunned? Let's go, outside the city."
"What do you mean?" Elder Tian She frowned.
"Didn't you want to fight? Then fight outside the city." Wei Yang cast him a glance, "Or do you intend to start a battle in the city? Aren't you supposed to be a righteous sect? If you fight in the city, a lot of people will die."
"Such boldness, boy!" Elder Tian She erupted in fury, his chest heaving.
He hadn't really wanted to fight in the first place, yet unexpectedly, the other side was the one who directly invited battle!
This could be endured, but not tolerated.
Before so many watching eyes, if he didn't accept the challenge, then where would Ice River Valley's face be left?
Far away, countless hidden gazes that were watching silently were shocked, and at the same time, faintly excited.
"Angry? Then let's go." Wei Yang curled his lips, his step lifted, his body rising into the air, swiftly shooting towards outside the city.
Behind, Xian'er and the others also followed.
Their bodies streaked after him, leaving behind afterimages, flickering a few times, and already exiting the city's range, their figures gradually disappearing from sight.
Elder Tian She stood in place, watching the receding backs of Wei Yang's group, his expression shifting between gloom and indecision.
"Elder?" Behind him, two white-robed middle-aged men glanced at each other, then could only brace themselves to remind him.
So many people watching, Elder, you really should say something.
Elder Tian She furrowed his brows, then noticed those countless distant gazes, each carrying hidden mockery and anticipation.
"Hmph!" He suddenly snorted coldly, a terrifying aura burst from his body, sweeping outward in waves, in the blink of an eye covering nearly half the city.
Under this oppressive aura, the countless owners of those gazes instantly shrank back.
"Anyone who dares to provoke my Ice River Valley, no matter who they are, must pay the price!"
That aged voice, like thunder exploding, reverberated across the entire city, as if echoing right beside every ear.
The whole city fell into deathly silence, no one dared to make a sound, even the family that controlled this city did not dare to intervene.
Seeing this, Elder Tian She gave another cold snort, his heart feeling a little better.
The might of Ice River Valley still remained.
"Go!" He lifted his cane, stepping into the air, walking toward the city outskirts.
His steps seemed slow, yet each one crossed a great distance, like shrinking the ground to inches.
Behind him, the two middle-aged six-star Dou Zong followed closely. Then came the forty Dou Huang, unfurling enormous Dou Qi wings, rising into the sky.
The three in front strode upon the void, while the forty Dou Huang behind spread their wings in pursuit, flying over the city.
Such a formation, vast as heavenly might itself, rolled forth with overwhelming pressure, causing hearts to sink into despair, erasing any will to resist.
They rapidly chased in the direction Wei Yang had departed.
Only after this group of Ice River Valley experts left did some people dare to emerge, one after another rising into the air, or standing atop buildings, gazing toward the outskirts.
But very few dared to follow directly.
Above a stretch of primordial forest.
High in the sky, Wei Yang stood with hands clasped behind his back, waiting quietly.
Behind him stood Xian'er and the others. The wind below stirred, the sea of trees rippling like waves, green tides surging.
"Brother Yang, I'm sorry." Xian'er's lips trembled slightly as she whispered.
She was blaming herself, blaming her earlier moment of weakness.
That instinctive reaction, she had failed to control it.
"It's nothing." Wei Yang shook his head, "Since you carry a shadow in your heart toward Ice River Valley, then today, break it with your own hands."
"Mm." Xian'er nodded firmly.
At this moment.
"Master, they're here." A Da bowed as he reminded.
Wei Yang lifted his eyes.
Ahead on the horizon, dozens of white figures rushed forward aggressively, carrying with them an icy chill.
Soon, they stopped not far in front of Wei Yang.
Elder Tian She's face was indifferent, staring at Wei Yang and his group who really dared to wait here.
His cane struck the void, rippling outward in layers.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and he said slowly: "You people, from which force do you come, to so brazenly disregard my Ice River Valley, and openly provoke us?"
"Weren't you the one looking to cause trouble with us? How is it now that it's suddenly our open provocation?" Wei Yang's smile was neither a smile nor not, "Ice River Valley truly is overbearing."
"This old man merely wished to ask your assistance in an investigation, nothing more."
Elder Tian She gave a cold snort, then slightly softened his tone as he continued: "Young men with talent are inevitably proud and arrogant, that is understandable. However, rashly offending my Ice River Valley is not exactly a wise choice."
Angry though he was, his mind remained clear.
That white-haired little girl and that burly fellow were both at the peak Dou Zong. At the very least, in cultivation level, they were no weaker than himself.
If it truly came to blows, his side would not necessarily come out on top. Under normal circumstances, encountering such a lineup, he would certainly never choose to provoke rashly.
But now he had no choice—two suspected special physiques made his heart stir with greed.
And with the other side provoking him so openly before countless eyes, the matter had already escalated to this point. If he didn't act with toughness, he couldn't hold his ground.
"Hmph, I've already sent a secret message to the Valley Master, all I need to do is stall them, once the Valley Master arrives, hehe…" Elder Tian She sneered coldly in his heart.
"So what then?" Wei Yang raised a brow, "You're teaching me how to act?"
"If there has been some misunderstanding, we can talk it out, resolve it." Elder Tian She forced down his anger, smiling faintly.
"Misunderstanding? Don't you know in your own heart?" Wei Yang let out a mocking laugh, "Do I really need to say out loud what your real motive is?"
"Uh."
Elder Tian She was choked for words, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, but quickly smoothed back to normal as he said: "We are indeed pursuing the true culprit behind the slaughter of my Ice River Valley disciples. If you are willing to cooperate, afterward your innocence will be cleared."
However, before his words could finish.
"Fuck your mother!"
Wei Yang had already lost patience, his palm slamming forward, "You decrepit old thing, pretending with your airs, you disgust me to the extreme, go die!"
Roooar~
A black thunder flame dragon shot forth, its body expanding as it rose against the wind, surging with terrifying heat and might as it blasted outward.
"Presumptuous!" Elder Tian She roared angrily, his cane striking the void hard.
Buzz~
The void rippled like surging waves, crashing toward the thunder flame dragon.
At the same time he shouted: "Since you refuse to appreciate good intentions, then don't blame this old man for being ruthless!"
"Bing Yuan, Bing Fu, form the array immediately, seize them and bring them back to the Valley for trial!"
"Yes!"
Behind him, the two Six-Star Dou Zong middle-aged men revealed a trace of helplessness, but could only comply.
For the sake of Elder Tian She's personal greed, they were being forced to risk their lives—this they were unwilling to do.
But since he had spoken, they could not refuse.
At once, the two of them, leading the forty Dou Huang, began forming the formation. An overwhelming aura erupted, locking onto Wei Yang and his group from afar. Under this surging momentum, the surrounding void faintly twisted and warped.
It was a combined assault formation.
Formed by two Six-Star Dou Zong together with forty Dou Huang, their breaths merging into one.
The might it unleashed seemed to actually surpass Elder Tian She by a margin. At the side, Elder Tian She had by now already dispersed the thunder flame dragon.
Watching the black flames and thunder scatter across the sky, sensing the scorching heat and destructive power within, even he couldn't help furrowing his brows, his eyes grave.
"What kind of flame is this?"
