"It’s over!" Xie Miaobo stared at the two men in the arena, their blood pooling on the ground, his handsome face pale, his body trembling uncontrollably.

He knew he was not Qiu Ming, and was acutely aware that if either Liou Yuan or Liou Tao died, he, as a participant, would inevitably be sent to the Disciplinary Hall.

The kind of judgment he would face was predictable.

Yet Xie Miaobo didn’t dare intervene in the fight, fearing that the battle-hardened pair might kill him too.

"How did things escalate to this point?" Xie Miaobo felt a chill through his body.

Just as the battle seemed to be reaching a life-and-death conclusion.

"Hmph!" A cold snort suddenly exploded in Little Cyan Valley.

A formless force accompanied it, crashing into Liou Yuan’s body.

He felt his body shake.

The force not only pulled Liou Yuan’s Profound Brilliance Sword out from Liou Tao’s body.

Simultaneously, it shattered the three foggy long knives embedded in Liou Yuan’s back.

In the next moment, Liou Yuan’s body was light, propelled by the force to bounce away from Liou Tao’s defense barrier, and finally landing heavily on the ground.

"Pah!" Liou Yuan spat out a mouthful of bloody froth but didn’t immediately stand up from the ground.

Instead, he looked at Liou Tao, who had a huge hole pierced in his chest by the Profound Brilliance Sword, silently lamenting the missed opportunity.

Clearly, the commotion here had attracted the attention of the top figures on the Fifth Peak.

Ordinary Qi Cultivation cultivator couldn’t easily neutralize both Liou Tao’s and his attack simultaneously.

As expected, after Liou Yuan and Liou Tao.

The battle between Qiu Ming and Bao Yufeng was also forcibly stopped.

The two Five-Star Star Acupoint geniuses were each tied up by a white rope and thrown to the ground.

At this moment, the entire area fell silent; the disciples from Xiaopei Mountain and Little Cyan Valley, previously caught up in the fierce fight, dared not move a muscle.

All eyes turned towards the entrance of Little Cyan Valley.

Liou Yuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and instinctively turned his head to look.

He saw an old man dressed in a blue-gray robe leading three elder Outer Sect disciples step leisurely from outside the valley entrance.

The old man’s hair was gray-white, his nose drooped inward, forming a hooked appearance.

As soon as the old man appeared, Liou Yuan heard someone murmuring quietly among the disciples, calling out his name: "Mr. Bao of the Disciplinary Hall."

"With the surname Bao and from the Disciplinary Hall, he must be a senior of Bao Yufeng." Liou Yuan cursed silently, sensing trouble.

Though in front of everyone, Mr. Bao would not dare act too outrageously, arousing people’s criticisms.

But being from the Bao Family, he was surely biased towards Bao Yufeng’s side.

As expected, upon entering the scene, Mr. Bao furrowed his brows and loudly reprimanded the Xiaopei Mountain disciples: "This is chaos! In broad daylight, you dare to incite mass fighting without regard for the sect rules."

After speaking, Mr. Bao waved his hand, instructing the three disciples from the Disciplinary Hall behind him: "Take all these Xiaopei Mountain disciples away, lock them in the Disciplinary Hall for two months first."

"Why must we be locked in the Law Enforcement Hall for coming to fight, when the Little Cyan Valley people overturned our Xiaopei Mountain yet are only grounded in Little Cyan Valley?"

Qiu Ming was not one to chickening out; although bound by the white rope magical artifact and unable to move, his voice remained strong and angry: "Old Mr. Bao, I want to accuse you of abusing your power."

Mr. Bao clearly recognized Qiu Ming, glanced at him sideways, waved his hand.

The white rope magical artifact binding Qiu Ming moved like a snake, sealing his mouth.

"This insolence, I thought he wouldn’t be so blatant in bias." Liou Yuan observed the scene, hatred stirring in his eyes.

Then he saw Mr. Bao, indifferent as ever, looking at him.

Mr. Bao gave him a cold smile and said, "Liou Yuan, isn’t it? Even with Mr. Liou absent, you are so arrogant and dare to kill in public."

"When Mr. Liou returns, wouldn’t you even dare to attack me?"

"Today, let me teach Mr. Liou’s brother a lesson."

Having mixed on the Fifth Peak for so long, Mr. Bao already understood the backgrounds of these disciples and directly revealed Liou Yuan’s identity.

Outside of Xiaopei Mountain where Xie Xiaobo and a few others were indifferent, those unaware of his background were shocked and stunned.

"So he’s Mr. Liou’s younger brother, no wonder his swordsmanship is so formidable, severely injuring Liou Tao."

"That explains it. If his brother can achieve Foundation Establishment, Liou Yuan must also have the potential for Foundation Establishment."

"Hehe, Liou Tao’s background is also not simple. It seems like a battle between dragons and tigers; no wonder neither of them gives in."

...

As everyone whispered among themselves.

Liou Yuan squinted slightly, hearing the underlying meaning in Mr. Bao’s words.

He knew about his background, but he was not afraid.

Moreover, it was a message to Liou Yuan that Mr. Liou was not at Five Extremes Mountain, and Mr. Bao was not afraid of him.

However, Liou Yuan didn’t buy it, grinning as he spat out a comment: "Honestly, Mr. Bao’s impartial law enforcement is truly an eye-opener."

Liou Yuan emphasized the words "impartial law enforcement" heavily, his tone sarcastic: "This kid isn’t a match for Mr. Bao, of course, but there are definitely many within the Sect who would love to spar with Mr. Bao."

No matter what he said, Mr. Bao was bound to give him a hard time.

So he decided to be straightforward, unabashedly displaying his hostility.

Mr. Bao’s expression flashed with anger at his words.

Liou Yuan was just a new disciple, yet dared to embarrass him to his face.

"Your big brother isn’t in the Sect now, and you dare to be arrogant."

Thinking this, Mr. Bao’s figure flickered, shooting in front of Liou Yuan, about to slap him across the face.

Liou Yuan didn’t dodge, calmly watching Mr. Bao with a playful look in his eyes.

The Xiaopei Mountain had a justified reason, he wasn’t afraid of things escalating, the bigger, the better.

Moreover, if Mr. Bao dared to lay a hand on him, knowing his own brother, he certainly wouldn’t let it end there.

After all, Mr. Bao wasn’t a fellow disciple; he was older than his brother.

"When the time comes, repay you tenfold, a hundredfold, old thing," Liou Yuan thought happily.

However, Mr. Bao’s slap never landed on Liou Yuan’s face.

A stout young man appeared, gripping Mr. Bao’s hand tightly.

At the same time, his warm voice sounded: "Mr. Bao, such overwhelming authority. Even a Xiaopei Mountain disciple was admitted by me. Can you just detain or hit them as you please?"

Liou Yuan was momentarily stunned, looking at the young figure standing protectively in front of him. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Wasn’t this their inviter, Fang Yu?

Listening to his words, he was clearly siding with Xiaopei Mountain.

"Mr. Fang, you’re too serious. Liou Yuan is overly arrogant, daring to intrude into Little Cyan Valley in broad daylight, completely disregarding Sect rules. I just wanted to teach him a lesson," Mr. Bao said, completely reversing his previous demeanor with a humble, submissive smile.

The Little Cyan Valley disciples’ expressions changed at this.

It was clear to everyone how wary Mr. Bao was of Fang Yu.

Mr. Bao inwardly lamented.

Despite his age, his cultivation was just at Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, merely a small Outer Sect steward.

Among the Outer Sect disciples, he was a figure, but to Fang Yu and the Inner Sect disciples, he was nothing.

After all, every Inner Sect disciple was a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, people who could govern a region when they left Five Extremes Mountain.

How could Liou Yuan miss such a good opportunity to mock Mr. Bao?

With Fang Yu here, he wasn’t worried about any trouble.

He didn’t understand Fang Yu’s relationship with his brother Liou Zhen, but since Fang Yu had previously helped him cheat to enter the Sect, he was clearly someone he could rely on.

Liou Yuan endured the pain on his back, standing up straight from the ground, mockingly jeering at Mr. Bao, whose wrist was caught by Fang Yu: "Mr. Bao’s change from arrogance to humility is laughable."

"You...!" Mr. Bao instinctively wanted to curse the little brat, but a glance from Fang Yu stopped him, preventing him from saying those words.

At this moment, Xie Miaobo and Fu Xueping also stepped forward.

Seeing Fang Yu intervene, they seemed to see a savior, quickly explaining the story’s cause and effect to him, one word at a time.

Fang Yu listened while nodding quietly, finally locking his eyes on Mr. Bao, unwilling to move them away.

Though his gaze was calm, it burned like fire in Mr. Bao’s eyes, making him afraid to meet it.
