"How dare they!"

Hearing this, Li Yun’s expression changed drastically.

Huang Chen was someone he regarded as both a rival and a friend, and Li Yun believed Huang Chen felt the same. Now, someone had actually dared to seize his friend by force. This had already challenged his bottom line.

"What a Chi Liuyang."

Li Yun’s gaze turned icy as he said coldly, "Does he really think he can cover the sky with one hand? I would like to see exactly what gives him the confidence to be so arrogant."

"What?"

Hearing Li Yun’s words, Su Fengyan was startled. "Li Yun, you are not thinking of going after Chi Liuyang, are you? Do not forget that Chi Liuyang is ranked eighty-first on the Earth Ranking, eighteen places higher than you."

"Exactly!"

Li Hao also hurriedly said, "Li Yun, I know you mean well for us, but you cannot act impulsively. Chi Liuyang is deliberately doing this to lure you out, then use your defeat to raise his own fame. If you take action, would that not be exactly what he wants?"

"It is fine."

Li Yun waved his hand dismissively and said calmly, "He is only Chi Liuyang. If I cannot even handle him, how can I compete with people like Feng Qingxiao and Jian Wuhen? Do not worry. I have full confidence in dealing with him."

"This..."

Li Hao hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded. "Alright, Li Yun. Since you have already said that, we might as well go all out with you. I will lead the way. Let us settle accounts with Chi Liuyang."

"Fine, fine."

Seeing Li Hao say this, Su Fengyan gave a bitter smile. Since things had already reached this point, he naturally could not back out either. At worst, he would simply be beaten up again.

Immediately, under the guidance of Li Hao and Su Fengyan, the three of them quickly arrived at the base of the Crimson Sun Society, the Crimson Sun Martial Hall.

The Crimson Sun Martial Hall was the headquarters of the Crimson Sun Society. Only a small group ranked within the top ten of the Inner Sect had the qualifications to apply to the sect for such a base.

At that moment, two robust cultivators stood at the entrance of the Crimson Sun Martial Hall. Both of them had their chins raised, and their demeanors were extremely arrogant.

"Hm? It is you two?"

Suddenly, one of them fixed his gaze on Su Fengyan and Li Hao. Upon seeing them, a look of disdain immediately appeared on his face as he mocked, "What is the matter, trash from Southern Martial Domain? After being used as punching bags for an entire day, you still are not satisfied? Have you come here late at night to receive another beating?"

"I have seen shameless people before, but never anyone as shameless as you."

The other person also burst into laughter. "Most people in your situation would hide away forever, but you two actually came knocking on our door. Are your skins itching so badly that you need me to teach you another lesson?"

"Damn it!"

Hearing their mockery, Su Fengyan and Li Hao’s expressions turned extremely ugly.

Back in Southern Martial Domain, they had been top-tier geniuses, and no one had dared to look down on them. Even after joining the Outer Sect of the Heavenly Sword Sect, they had still been doing fairly well. This kind of humiliation was the first they had ever experienced.

"What? You still dare to be dissatisfied?"

Seeing the ugly expressions on Su Fengyan and Li Hao’s faces, one of the robust cultivators cracked his knuckles and sneered. "Looks like you have not been beaten enough. Fine. Since you are so eager for another beating, I will reluctantly oblige and let you enjoy it properly."

As soon as he finished speaking, he threw out a fierce punch.

His cultivation had clearly reached the 4th level of Earthly Core Realm. With this strike, he instantly closed in on Su Fengyan and Li Hao.

A smug smile appeared on his face, as if he could already see the two of them being beaten to a miserable state.

But at that moment, a hand appeared.

In an instant, that hand appeared in front of him and gently gripped his fist. No matter how he struggled, he could not move even an inch.

"Who are you?"

His expression immediately changed. He glared fiercely at Li Yun and shouted, "Kid, I do not care who you are, but do you know where this place is? Do you know who backs this place? If you offend our Crimson Sun Society, you will have no place to stand in the entire Heavenly Sword Sect."

"Is that so?"

Li Yun gave a faint smile. "It seems you have a lot of confidence in Chi Liuyang. Alright, I will give you ten breaths. Go call Chi Liuyang out. I would like to see exactly what tricks he has."

"What did you say?"

An incredulous look appeared on the man’s face. Immediately afterward, he laughed as though he had heard the biggest joke in the world. "You must be joking! Hahaha! Who do you think you are? With just you, you think you are qualified to have the society leader come see you? Fool, I did not expect there to be such a fool in this world."

"Since you refuse to call him, I will have to go find him myself."

Hearing the man’s words, Li Yun did not get angry. He only smiled faintly, suddenly reached out, grabbed the man, and casually threw him into the martial hall.

"You..."

Seeing Li Yun act so decisively, the other person was stunned. However, before he had any time to think, Li Yun grabbed him as well and threw him into the martial hall.

Bang!

The entrance of the Crimson Sun Martial Hall was violently smashed open by the two cultivators. The force was so strong that it left two human-shaped holes in the door.

"Hm?"

Inside the martial hall, dozens of cultivators immediately looked over, and their expressions instantly turned grim.

Who dared to storm the Crimson Sun Martial Hall?

How many years had it been since something like this had happened, ever since Chi Liuyang became an Earth Ranking powerhouse?

"A distinguished guest has arrived. Welcome, welcome."

At that moment, the crowd suddenly parted.

A young man with fiery red hair draped over his shoulders, a rebellious expression on his face, and bare feet walked out from the crowd. His gaze immediately landed on Li Yun as he laughed heartily and said, "I wonder who this friend is and what business brings you to my Crimson Sun Martial Hall?"

As he spoke, a powerful aura erupted from his body.

It was clearly the aura of a Half-Step Heavenly Core Realm powerhouse, and it pressed down fiercely toward Li Yun.

Obviously, although his words sounded welcoming, his actions were anything but polite.

"You must be Chi Liuyang, right?"

Li Yun’s expression was cold as he looked at the fiery-haired young man and said indifferently, "As a dignified Earth Ranking cultivator, you targeted a few Outer Sect Disciples just to provoke me. Now that I am standing right in front of you, do you still not recognize me?"

"Oh?"
