The Way of The Dao

* CLANG!!! *

The intense confrontation pushed Quo Qifan back a bit, wondering how this guy could have pushed him back a bit when he had clearly lost before.

This clash did not go unnoticed by the others either and they were surprised when they saw Quo Qifan retreat.

An incredulous expression appeared on everyone's faces when they realized there was a person in front of the young man.

Quo Qifan opened his eyes in surprise when his insides were filled with rage and thirst for revenge at seeing the guy who had humiliated him before.

Fu Yishuang knew that his end had come when he saw this young man again.

His disciples were similarly surprised to see the guy they had seen on the road before.

The other people looked at the young man who had arrived in astonishment.

Chen Qiandie was upset to see that someone had intruded on his territory, while his daughter, Chen Zeiwei, began to feel strange when she saw the face of this newcomer, finding it familiar.

The newcomer quickly surprised everyone, especially because of the small white creature he was carrying on his left shoulder while on his right side he was carrying what appeared to be a small girl with her face buried in his body. His left hand held a striking silver spear.

Of course, this person was Ling Tian.

"I am not surprised that you did not tell me your name, as many people were looking for you..." Ling Tian spoke in a low voice to the young man behind him without turning around.

The young man looked at this familiar back and realized that he was the young man who had helped him before.

"What are you doing here?" He couldn't help but ask.

"I have some business to settle with these guys." Ling Tian answered indifferently as he looked at everyone in the place.

"Who are you?! What are you doing here?! Do you know that this is the property of the Chen family? You can be punished with the maximum penalty for meddling in important matters!"

Chen Qiandie shouted fiercely at the newcomer, feeling that his respect was being offended when someone entered his territory without warning.

Chen Qiandie moved his hand in the direction of Ling Tian when the guards began to walk to the target.

"Wait."

Fu Yishuang's voice stopped the guards as they began to move.

Chen Qiandie turned to see Fu Yishuang waiting to see what he would say.

"This little fellow, do you need anything or have any problem being here?" Fu Yishuang asked politely to Ling Tian.

The others were once again surprised by the tolerance of this Immortal Master in politely asking this newcomer.

That alarming feeling and the sense of being watched disappeared completely when this mysterious young man appeared in this place.

However, deep inside, Fu Yishuang felt that he should not mess with this mysterious young man, even if he did not feel any energy in his body.

Moreover, the spirit mark he had left on the small jade plaque he gave him was missing, and when Fu Yishuang wanted to look for the mark he had supposedly left on him, he found his mark on a person far from the place where they were!

If this young man was able to find his mark or someone else is behind him, then Fu Yishuang knew he was in trouble.

Hence, Fu Yishuang asked politely, hoping that this young man would not bring him trouble or involve him in his affairs.

Ling Tian looked weakly at the supposed Immortal Master for a second when he looked back at Chen Qiandie.

"You have something that belongs to me, so I will give you one last chance to give it back to me if you don't want to die... this last warning you can take in exchange for having 'taken care of' me."

Ling Tian sneered and remarked on the last part, causing everyone in the place to furrow their brows.

Chen Qiandie did not recognize Ling Tian and fiercely told him, "I don't even know you and I don't know what you mean!" He thought that Ling Tian was most likely one of those guys he had sent to kill their whole family and was now coming for revenge.

Ling Tian's indifferent eyes moved to Chen Qiandie's hand, which the latter noticed and looked at his hand.

Chen Qiandie looked at his hand, especially the object on one of his fingers.

The powerful storage ring?

But this precious ring had been taken from the hostage on the ground a few feet away from him, unless...

"It seems you've already realized..." Ling Tian said, "You didn't even notice that your so-called hostage couldn't even say a word or move. I'm sure your idiot guards didn't even tell you what really happened, much less notice if any of them were missing..."

The guards were surprised at this when they began to look at each other, looking to see if any of them were missing.

Their eyes opened in shock when they noticed the absence of one and then looked at the guy on the ground.

"Remember the last thing I told you." Ling Tian interrupted Chen Qiandie's thought and added, "If you don't want that to happen, then give it to me and I'll leave without a problem."

This was already much more than Ling Tian would tolerate, and he was only doing this to avoid getting into unnecessary fights and involving Qing Sha.

'If you don't want something bad to happen, you'd better give me back my ring and let me go, otherwise you'll regret it in the future and you'll lose your hand without even realizing it...'

The words that Chen Qiandie had heard before leaving the subterranean chamber of his mansion resonated inexplicably in his mind, beginning to feel a little afraid when he saw the young man in front of him.

"You dare to ignore my respected Immortal Master, you really lack manners!"

Quo Qifan called out to Ling Tian as he tightened his sword.

His legs could not help but tremble slightly as he remembered what had happened before.

Ling Tian looked at him with disdain in his eyes before looking at Fu Yishuang and saying, "An Immortal? Does someone who is at the Peak Stage of the Golden Core call himself an Immortal? How pathetic." Ling Tian sneered as he said all this.

Peak Stage?

Golden Core?

Those who were present did not know what this mysterious young man meant. Only two people in the place knew what he meant.

Fu Yishuang was one of them when he finally raised his full guard, expecting to receive any unexpected attack.

This young man knew about true cultivation!

Besides that he could see exactly his level of cultivation!

Who was he and why couldn't he feel any strength in him?!

One could not feel the true force or see the level of someone if that person was in several realms higher than oneself...

Fu Yishuang thought about this last possibility, but soon discarded it, feeling that it was impossible for someone young like him to be stronger than him.

The other person who understood Ling Tian's words was the young man behind him.

Who was he who really knew about cultivation?

His mother told him that there was a much higher world and that cultivation was only the beginning of achieving immortality, so he was aware that it would take many years to reach the peak of mortal cultivation and ascend to a higher plane.

"What nonsense are you saying? You dare to insult my Master!" Quo Qifan lost his temper when this time, he managed to overcome his fear and jumped into Ling Tian.

Finally, the killing intention in the form of a vicious blade stabbed Quo Qifan's mind, stopping him instantly.

Quo Qifan's eyes showed a terror and fear as he dropped his sword to the ground, his body trembling with fear and dread.

A slight ugly smell soon filled the place when Quo Qifan wet his lower garments.

Everyone looked in shock at Quo Qifan who was in such a state.

"If you can't even stand something so trivial, then you really are just a waste..." Ling Tian took one last look at Quo Qifan before turning to see Chen Qiandie.

"Will you give it back to me or face the consequences?"

The indifferent look sent shivers down Chen Qiandie's spine, and he almost said yes when he remembered that the Immortal Master Fu was present and would not let this person go because he had seriously injured one of his disciples.

Ling Tian noticed this and let out an ironic sigh.

"Although I am currently wounded and cannot show my full power, it is enough to make everyone disappear from here... enough to kill someone at the Peak Stage of the Golden Core." Ling Tian looked scornfully at Fu Yishuang, reminding him that he had actually seen his level of cultivation and was not afraid of him.

That he is wounded and cannot show his full power?

Is anyone so young more powerful than the mighty Immortal Master Fu?

People began to look disdainfully at Ling Tian, thinking that he was arrogant in believing that he could beat the famous Immortal Master Fu.

Although no one knew what he had done to Quo Qifan, everyone knew that the Immortal Master Fu was very powerful and could kill this child with one wave of his hand.

"Do you have a problem with my honorable sect or this humble man? If you have any problem or grudge we can come to an agreement, I will not even ask you to account for leaving one of my disciples in such a state."

Fu Yishuang finally put his fists together, hoping that this young man in front of him would not be unreasonable and come to an agreement.

The others could not believe that, in spite of everything, this powerful Immortal Teacher still did not resort to violence in dealing with this child.

"Honorable Sect? Humble you? Hahaha!" Ling Tian let out a loud laugh, as if he had found something deeply funny.

Everyone heard his laughter and looked down on Ling Tian.

"Do you dare to call yourself humble when you have allowed your so-called female disciples to cultivate that method of cultivation to become a human furnace?"

Ling Tian looked at Fu Yishuang indifferently, causing him to open his eyes completely and begin to feel terror.
