Chapter 1277: Disciples of the Star Formation Sect
Led by Liu Hailong and a few others, they quickly arrived at Xingyue Lake.
Xingyue Lake is located to the west of Xingyue City. It's a very large lake, sparkling with abundant Spiritual Energy.
There were a lot of people here, both on the lakeshore and in the lake, with many pavilions scattered around.
Liu Hailong smiled and said, "Do you see the pavilion and the palace in the center of the lake? Inside the palace, there is a passage leading to the bottom of the lake. Passing through the passage, you will reach the lakebed, where you can look up and see a sky full of stars and a bright moon. That's where the name Xingyue Lake comes from."
They arrived at the lakeshore, waiting for the boats to come over. There were more than a dozen boats on the lake, but many people wanted to take a boat to the center of the lake.
Almost all the people playing around here were young talents from various sects, both men and women, creating a lively scene.
There were those sitting in the pavilion, talking, and chatting, while others were discussing cultivation.
"Isn't this Liu from the Star Formation Sect? Long time no see, Liu." A young man saw Liu Hailong and walked over with a smile.
Liu Hailong saw him and also smiled, "So it's Wang Kun from the Sky Net Sect, long time no see!"
The Sky Net Sect and Star Formation Sect are both famous forces on the Central Continent. In terms of strength, the Star Formation Sect is slightly stronger than the Sky Net Sect, but not by much.
Liu Hailong knew quite a few people here, and soon six or seven people came over to engage him in conversation.
He glanced over at Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun, a hint of pride in his eyes, and inwardly confirmed their identities; they seemed to be Loose Cultivators. If they were disciples of major sects, someone here should recognize them.
A Loose Cultivator with such a beautiful and temperamental partner, heaven really has no eyes. How could someone like him deserve Miss Wei?
Qin Hao saw Liu Hailong and a few others talking animatedly and turned to Wei Xianyun, suggesting, "Let's go check out the palace in the center of the lake."
The two were about to walk toward a wooden boat on the lakeshore when Liu Hailong spoke up, "Miss Wei, what are you heading off to? Why not come and chat for a while? These gentlemen are all talents of various sects; it's good to get acquainted."
His words were directed at Wei Xianyun, directly ignoring Qin Hao, who he regarded as worthless as a Loose Cultivator, not deserving of his initiative to speak.
Along the way, he had also probed into Qin Hao's background, so he felt no apprehension.
Wei Xianyun naturally saw through his words, her expression becoming even colder, "No need, but thank you for your kindness, Mr. Wei." She said, then held Qin Hao's arm as they walked toward the wooden boat.
Liu Hailong's face darkened slightly upon hearing this; she actually disregarded his dignity in front of so many people. This treacherous woman!
Wang Yiming from the Star Formation Sect had an indifferent expression with no change. He had long seen through Liu Hailong's intentions; wasn't he just eyeing the partner of others?
Chang Lin and Yue Ruolan, upon realizing Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun were Loose Cultivators, lost any intention of politeness. In their views, politeness is used for people of equal standing, and Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun were not of their caliber, merely Loose Cultivators.
Similarly, the two women felt some jealousy over Wei Xianyun's appearance and temperament. Wei Xianyun looked pure and holy, but who knows how lascivious she is in private?
"Senior Brother, let it go, some people don't appreciate kindness. We offer help but are treated like nonsense," Chang Lin said beside Liu Hailong with a tone of sarcasm.
In fact, she had always secretly admired Liu Hailong. Liu Hailong was a famed talented disciple of the Star Formation Sect, and many female disciples considered him their Prince Charming, including Chang Lin.
Now seeing Wei Xianyun not giving Liu Hailong any face, she was internally happy and outwardly tried to ridicule Wei Xianyun.
Yue Ruolan directly addressed Wei Xianyun, "We kindly bring you here, and Liu is kind enough to invite you. I can't believe you are this type of person; truly disgusting, pretty on the outside, but internally so vile."
...
Nearby members from other sects watched this unfold and turned their gaze towards Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun. Seeing Wei Xianyun's beauty, figure, and temperament, their eyes lit up.
Even though she is already someone else's partner, a woman like that is the true delight to play with.
Qin Hao looked at Liu Hailong, Chang Lin, and Yue Ruolan, speaking calmly, "Are you looking to die?"
Liu Hailong sneered at his words, "Indeed a Loose Cultivator, you want to kill us with your skills? We were courteous to you for Miss Wei's sake, but now that you seek death, don't blame me for being merciless."
Killing Qin Hao right now and capturing Wei Xianyun alive to make her my servant would be a beautiful thing.
After finishing his sentence, Liu Hailong took a step forward, releasing his Late Transcendent Realm power. To deal with Qin Hao, a Transcendent Realm Early Stage cultivator who was also a Loose Cultivator, he could kill him with just one move.
But after his aura was released, Qin Hao's expression and posture did not change at all; the strong aura seemed to automatically part upon reaching Qin Hao, pushing towards both sides.
Liu Hailong's face darkened slightly, "You have some tricks, but this isn't enough."
After saying this, his form disappeared from the spot, reappearing in front of Qin Hao, his palm glowing brightly, striking at Qin Hao's chest.
Qin Hao maintained a calm expression, lifting his leg in a kick that was astoundingly fast, several times faster than Liu Hailong's palm strike.
"Boom"
Qin Hao's strong foot kicked Liu Hailong's chest, his form was sent flying backward at a greater speed, landing heavily more than ten meters away.
"Puh"
Liu Hailong spat a mouthful of blood, looking at Qin Hao in disbelief.
He was clearly at the Transcendent Realm Early Stage, how could he be so formidable, injuring me seriously with just one kick?
Wang Yiming, Chang Lin, and Yue Ruolan were dumbfounded, eyes wide with shock at Qin Hao, their faces full of astonishment.
Many around them were also drawn to the fight here, turning to look; wasn't that Liu Hailong from the Star Formation Sect? He got beat???
"Slap, slap, slap"
The sound of several slaps echoed as Qin Hao slapped Chang Lin and Yue Ruolan several times, "This is just a lesson. If it happens again, I will ensure your souls scatter and your paths collapse."
Wang Yiming escaped the calamity by not having spoken at all.
Chang Lin and Yue Ruolan's faces alternated between red and green; as heavenly talented disciples of the Star Formation Sect, they were slapped in public, a blunder that not only tarnished their reputation but also heavily affected the prestige of the Star Formation Sect.
Other sect members nearby witnessing Qin Hao's strength had no intention of standing up for Liu Hailong, as their relationship was merely superficial, not reaching such a level.
After teaching them a lesson, Qin Hao took Wei Xianyun onto the boat. The boat was large, with many seats, capable of accommodating dozens of people.
After taking a pill for recovery, Liu Hailong got up from the ground, leaving in gloom; he had no face to remain here any longer.
