Chapter 127: Damn, Is This All They've Got?

The crowd from Alchemy Peak reached the mountain entrance, where Zhang Ergou and Feng Bujue blocked their way.

“Stop. This is Nameless Peak. What do you think you’re doing?” Zhang Ergou, already aware of their hostile intent, slammed his wolf-tooth club onto the ground with imposing force, standing fearlessly before the Alchemy Peak crowd.

“Hmph, insolent! An outer sect elder of Alchemy Peak is here. Call your sect master out at once,” Li Shun said with a glare. The grudge from two days ago must be settled today. Now that Elder Gu was backing them, did they still dare to act recklessly?

“Hmph, our sect master is in seclusion. Do you think you can see him just because you want to? Go back where you came from, or don’t blame me for using force.” Zhang Ergou’s aura erupted; he showed no fear before this group of powerful enemies.

“Insolent—” At that moment, the calm-faced Elder Gu’s eyes flashed with sharp light, and a thunderous roar burst forth like a clap of thunder.

Zhang Ergou and the others felt their eardrums ache from the shock. Feng Bujue stepped in front of Zhang Ergou, cupped his hands, and said, “Elder Gu, this is Nameless Peak, a place granted by the sect master. It seems inappropriate for you to gather the people of Alchemy Peak and come here.”

“Have your sect master come out. I don’t want to waste words with you.” Elder Gu’s eyes were cold as he stared at the two.

No matter what, this matter could not be let go. If Nameless Peak were allowed to develop like this, where would Alchemy Peak stand in the future?

“Elder Gu, the sect master is in seclusion. If you have business, you may come another day.” Feng Bujue spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Since they were within the sect, there was no danger to their lives. Following the sect master’s intention from last night, they should stall as long as possible.

“Insolent—” Elder Gu roared in fury, his boundless might erupting like a surging tide, pressing down on Zhang Ergou and Feng Bujue, whose expressions changed as they struggled to endure.

“Seize them. Today I want to see what ability Nameless Peak has to compete with Alchemy Peak.” At this moment, Elder Gu’s aura was overwhelming, his brows blazing with anger.

Competing with Alchemy Peak for alchemy resources was simply asking for death.

The outer sect disciples watching from the side exchanged glances, their expressions fluctuating greatly. They wanted to help Nameless Peak, but the man before them was an elder of Alchemy Peak.

They were only outer sect disciples and dared not offend a superior. If they spoke out of turn, even if they were killed, no one would seek justice for them.

“Stop—”

Just as Zhang Ergou was about to swing his wolf-tooth club, Ye Shaotian hurried over.

“Elder Gu, please grant me some face and sit down for a proper talk.” Ye Shaotian had sensed trouble when he learned that Elder Gu of Alchemy Peak’s outer sect had come to Nameless Peak.

This Elder Gu was an outer sect elder of Alchemy Peak, hot-tempered, and the alchemy business of Nameless Peak had left the outer sect of Alchemy Peak with no profit to skim.

No one could tolerate such a thing.

“Ye Shaotian, don’t meddle. What Elder Gu decides is not something an outer sect disciple like you can stop,” Li Shun spoke up at this point.

“Elder Gu, we are all from the same sect. Why must we glare at each other—”

“Get lost.” Before Ye Shaotian could finish, Elder Gu cut him off with a furious shout.

Ye Shaotian took a deep breath, his face turning extremely ugly, rage burning within him.

Damn it, how dare he curse at me.

Since being reformed by Lin Fan, Ye Shaotian’s temper had become much milder than before, but it couldn’t change so easily.

Now, having spoken politely only to be insulted, Ye Shaotian, as a proud outer sect prodigy, could not tolerate it.

At this moment, Ye Shaotian’s eyes narrowed, and his arrogant aura exploded. “Anyone who dares to take a step today will face my merciless hand.”

“Ye Shaotian, what do you think you’re doing?” Li Shun stepped back, standing beside Elder Gu, and shouted angrily.

Was everyone rebelling today?

An elder had come, yet they still dared to act insolently.

…

Lin Fan paced back and forth in the room, constantly thinking about what to do. He had heard the voices outside.

This time, damn it, it was going to be a disaster.

This boss had come to crush him. What should he do? He had thought about using invisibility to escape, but if he ran, he would lose all face.

What to do, what to do.

Lin Fan looked anxious, rubbing his hands together, truly at a loss. Then he peered through the crack in the door.

He wondered how things were going outside.

“Damn, so many people. They really want to finish me off. Alchemy Peak is too domineering.”

Lin Fan swept his gaze over. The outer sect disciples had come, and Ye Shaotian was there too. It seemed he was already in conflict with that Alchemy Peak elder.

“Eh—”

Just then, when Lin Fan’s eyes fell on the Alchemy Peak elder, his expression changed.

“Initial Divine Incarnation…”

Damn…

He was actually only at Initial Divine Incarnation.

At this moment, Lin Fan was stunned. The Alchemy Peak elder who had kept him awake all night was merely at Initial Divine Incarnation…

This… this.

No more words, nothing more to say.

At this moment, Lin Fan straightened his sleeves, puffed out his chest, lifted his chin slightly, his demeanor dignified, his eyes like gods, and pushed open the wooden door with one hand.

The anxiety from before vanished, replaced by an aura of contempt for the world.

Back in Cangling Prefecture, his cultivation was at the Ninth Stage of Innate. After coming here, it had condensed to the Initial Stage of Innate.

But now, a mere elder at Initial Divine Incarnation wanted to sweep through his sect—this was utterly disrespecting the sect master.

Now that the outer sect disciples were gathered, it was time to establish some authority.

If he kept being friendly to everyone, they might really think he was easy to bully. Since a few whetstones had come today, let them feel some loving care.

“Everyone, stop.” At this moment, a commanding voice of restraint came from afar.

Ye Shaotian, who was about to act, paused and looked back.

Zhang Ergou and Feng Bujue felt the same, as if their backbone had arrived.

“Sect master—”

When the Alchemy Peak crowd saw Lin Fan, hatred flickered in their eyes. This was the man who had stolen their business.

Elder Gu, however, remained expressionless, carefully sizing him up.

Now Lin Fan walked slowly, step by step, unhurried, hands clasped behind his back, chin slightly raised, his eyes shimmering with a light that could not be looked at directly.

An aura of a peerless master instantly erupted across the scene, and everyone was irresistibly infected by his profound presence.

“You disciples of Alchemy Peak, not staying on your own peak, come to my Nameless Peak to act recklessly—what is the meaning of this? Are you bullying Nameless Peak for having no one?” Lin Fan’s anger carried authority without raising his voice, each word like a sharp sword piercing the hearts of the Alchemy Peak disciples.

At this moment, Zhang Ergou and the others were dumbfounded.

They felt the sect master had become somewhat different from before.

It was as if the sect master before them now was more like a true sect master, an inexplicable sense of fear filling their bodies.

The two looked at the sect master with eyes seemingly full of awe.
