Urban Immortal Cultivation Supreme

"Heh, Brother Nie, you're not wrong. It seems I've been too sensitive. However, Brother Nie's martial prowess is truly extraordinary. No wonder you were able to fight Ye Gucheng to a standstill. I wonder if Brother Nie would be interested in sparring with Wei Langqi?"

Gazing at Zhu Bufan with a smile, Wei Langqi spoke up. Hearing Wei Langqi's words, Ye Gucheng instantly furrowed his brows. He had yet to recover from his battle with Zhu Bufan, and he figured Zhu Bufan hadn't either. To challenge Zhu Bufan at this time immediately ignited anger in Ye Gucheng's heart.

"If Brother Wei is really lacking opponents, then allow me, your junior sister, to be your opponent instead." Just then, Huo Ling took a step forward with her beautiful eyes coldly fixed on Wei Langqi. Seeing Wei Langqi challenge Zhu Bufan at this time, Huo Ling was also secretly furious. Hearing Huo Ling volunteer to fight made several people on the stage slightly furrow their brows.

In fact, given the level of Cultivation of both Wei Langqi and Huo Ling, it was basically known that they could advance without fighting. And naturally, the people above wanted to avoid a clash between the two, which was why Wei Langqi and Huo Ling were slated to fight only after the second round! It was not a so-called prearranged decision but a necessity. Before the battle, Huo Ling had been quietly informed, but unexpectedly, she now wanted to fight Wei Langqi.

"Elder Huo, your granddaughter is truly..." With a wry smile, Wei Tianxian began to speak with a hint of complaint.

"Hmph! Before you talk about my granddaughter, shouldn't you teach your own son? Does your son really think he's the Emperor among the younger disciples? First, he tries to snatch away my disciple's little fox, then challenges her when he fails? Do you think your Ming Sect is so powerful, or do you think my Dark Sect has no one?" Elder Huo expressed his violent killing intent, which burst forth uncontrollably. Ever since arriving at Divine Moon Peak, Elder Huo had been keeping himself in check, but seeing Wei Langqi's arrogance finally unleashed his fury.

"Brat! So you want to fight? Forget about touching my granddaughter; how about fighting me instead? You think you're so capable, don't you?" Enraged Elder Huo, not even recognizing gods or ghosts in his anger, sent a red stream of Primordial Qi toward Wei Langqi as he spoke. At the same time, a golden light also shot out, meeting the red light less than half a meter from Wei Langqi and causing a powerful force to erupt.

"Sect Master Huo!"

"Sect Master Wei! What do you want now?"

The confrontation between the two Sect Masters from the Ming Sect and Dark Sect left everyone present dumbfounded, and Wei Langqi was pushed back dozens of steps by the explosion of Qi Force. The two Sect Masters' presence began to rise slowly, and it seemed the situation was heading towards a point of no return.

"Father, stop causing a scene. Wei Lang, you as well. Don't go too far." At that moment, a stunningly beautiful woman in palace attire finally sighed softly, "Father, aren't you being a bit overprotective of your niece? Sometimes you need to let go and let things happen."

"Hmph! Lady Sect Master Wei! But Wei Langqi isn't your own child. You're quite protective of him! Back when you refused to listen to me and married him, did you consider me your father then? And stop calling me so affectionately; didn't you disown me as your father long ago? Go find your Wei Lang!" Elder Huo glared fiercely at the woman in palace attire and spoke with a cold voice.

"Father~" Elder Huo's words filled the woman in palace attire's eyes with tears, and Wei Tianxian, upon hearing Elder Huo's words, was incredibly agitated, ready to take action judging by the golden light radiating off him.

It turned out that after Wei Tianxian's wife gave birth to Wei Langqi, she passed away. Later, Elder Huo's daughter insisted on marrying Wei Tianxian, much to Elder Huo's outrage. His daughter then became Wei Langqi's stepmother, and Elder Huo had been resenting his daughter's disobedience ever since, never acknowledging Wei Tianxian, his son-in-law. The complex relationship between the leaders of the Ming Sect and Dark Sect was very clear to the present Elders and Sect Masters. They knew all too well that Elder Huo was looking for an excuse to vent, so they tactfully closed their eyes. The Heavenly Sword Sect might be powerful, but internally, it was not monolithic—an issue that comes with the territory for a powerful sect.

"Grandfather, are you still worried about me?" At that moment, Huo Ling's cold voice cut through the tense atmosphere, "Grandfather, what exactly were you thinking when you allowed your granddaughter to come here? Do you intend to treat everyone who challenges your granddaughter like this?"

Huo Ling's words were harsh, instantly deflating Elder Huo's aura. After a sigh, Elder Huo withdrew his presence and sat down, saying, "Enough, Lady Sect Master Wei is right. I've been too nervous. Let the young people handle their own affairs."

Hearing Elder Huo speak like that, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If Elder Huo were to make a fuss, it would really be difficult to settle, and the sect's reputation would be tarnished if the sect convention were disrupted.

Hearing Elder Huo still addressing her as Lady Sect Master Wei, the woman in palace attire finally smiled sadly and excused herself to leave, while Wei Tianxian sighed and shook his head before sitting back down.

The farce had ended, but the recent actions of Elder Huo had left everyone's hearts in turmoil. Those who harbored some inappropriate thoughts towards Huo Ling could not help but retract their disrespectful notions. Whereas Wei Langqi, after being put in his place by Elder Huo, looked towards him with eyes clearly filled with deep-seated venom, and turning to Huo Ling, coldly said, "Although Martial Sister Huo Ling has such leisure interests, I'm afraid I'll have difficulty keeping you company, after all, my cultivation is still superficial!"

Although Wei Langqi spoke to Huo Ling, everyone knew who the real audience was meant to be. Upon hearing Wei Langqi's words, Elder Huo only responded with a cold laugh before falling silent. Zhu Bufan, his eyes narrowed, gently stroked the soft fur of the little fox and then handed the fox over to Huo Ling. Amidst her surprised gaze, he said to Wei Langqi, "Brother Wei, didn't you want to test your skills against me? Well, come on then."

"You?" Wei Langqi let out a sneer and then laughed, "Junior Brother Zhu Bufan is a favored disciple of Sect Master Huo, I dare not casually compete with you."

"Isn't Brother Wei's own father also the Sect Master of the Ming Sect? I imagine there are quite a few who hold such thoughts. It just so happens that I am a disciple of the Sect Master of the Dark Sect, what's wrong with not having any concerns?" Zhu Bufan, who also held a cold smile, looked at the mocking Wei Langqi and did not hesitate to say. Hearing Zhu Bufan's words, Wei Langqi's face finally darkened, because it was clear to everyone that Zhu Bufan's insinuation about relying on his father's influence couldn't be missed.

"Sect Master Huo, your disciple here is quite remarkable, directly insinuating criticisms against Sect Master Wei, such spirit, indeed astounding," said Elder Cangyun with a wry smile upon seeing Zhu Bufan sarcastically retort Wei Langqi, even involving Wei Tianxian.

"Humph, everyone from this sect lacks discipline," coldly laughed Lei Heng from the side.

After hearing Zhu Bufan's words, the formerly graceful demeanor of Wei Langqi was nowhere to be found; his face had turned sullen. After a while, Wei Langqi suddenly burst into loud laughter, saying, "You're right, it seems that having the status of a Young Sect Master does come with both advantages and disadvantages. I have really been misunderstood by Junior Brother Zhu Bufan."

Seeing Zhu Bufan's continuous cold sneers, Wei Langqi, furious inside, still managed to smile and said to Zhu Bufan, "Since Junior Brother Zhu Bufan has brought it up, it would be pretentious of Wei Langqi not to accompany you. But swords and sabers have no eyes; seeing that Junior Brother Zhu Bufan's martial arts skills are quite good, how about we just compare our hand-to-hand combat as a simple gesture?"

"Oh? For my safety, Brother Wei, you even give up your best swordsmanship and think so thoroughly. I must say, I am impressed. Since Brother Wei has brought it up, it would only be appropriate for me to follow," Zhu Bufan replied with a cold laugh, gesturing invitingly with his hand.

"Zhu Bufan, what do you mean by this? This is my challenge, by what right do you take it?" Huo Ling, unhappy with Zhu Bufan wanting to clash with Wei Langqi, came to Zhu Bufan's side and glared at him.

"I have a bit of a grudge with him, let me handle this round, just take good care of the little fox for me," Zhu Bufan disregarded Huo Ling's dissatisfaction, only lightly transmitting his message to her, while Huo Ling could clearly sense the suppressed rage in Zhu Bufan's tone, which she could not hide. Hearing Zhu Bufan's words, Huo Ling began to gently stroke the little fox's soft fur and whispered softly, "Then be careful yourself."

'Whoosh, whoosh'

Two faint sounds, and Zhu Bufan and Wei Langqi both used their movement techniques to flash towards the center of Wenhua Hall. In terms of movement technique, Zhu Bufan's Heavenly Freedom was clearly inferior, but this did not hinder the clash between them. As soon as both figures reached the center of Wenhua Hall, they viciously launched punches at each other.

'Boom!'

A massive thud resounded, heavy power surged towards Zhu Bufan's forearm. After both fists collided firmly, Zhu Bufan was jolted back five steps, while Wei Langqi fared slightly better, retreating only three steps.

"This guy, he can actually match me in physical strength?" After that punch, Wei Langqi, feeling tingling numbness in his right hand, stared fixedly at Zhu Bufan while surprise welled up inside. Wei Langqi was clearer than anyone about his own circumstances; since his birth, Wei Tianxian had often prepared special materials to temper Wei Langqi's body, and he had also regularly consumed pills refined by Elder Cangyun to Strengthen his Foundation, his physical body was much stronger than an average cultivator of the same Realm. Wei Langqi was confident that his previous strike could have broken Zhu Bufan's hand, but to his surprise, Zhu Bufan had fought to a standstill!

"The name 'Zhu Bufan' seems somewhat familiar?" Suddenly, the name 'Zhu Bufan' flashed through Wei Langqi's memory, and he immediately felt as though the name was very familiar.

"It seems like the Young Sect Master has finally remembered me." Shaking off the numbness in his hand, Zhu Bufan's mouth twisted into a cold smile.
