The air suddenly grew quiet.
Liu Wuchen and several elders stared at each other with wide eyes, dumbfounded.
Seeing their strange expressions,
Lin Yuheng asked in surprise, “What is this Wang Yunge’s strength?”
Wen Hongyao, with a look as if she had seen a ghost, stared intently at Jiang Fan and said,
“Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer.”
What?
Lin Yuheng was shocked: “Didn’t you say this kid was only at the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer in physique?”
“How did he manage to win against a Ninth Layer?”
After a long moment,
Liu Wuchen took a deep breath, his face full of surprise, and said, “Jiang Fan, what is going on?”
Jiang Fan shrugged and said, “Wang Yunge wasn’t as strong as I imagined.”
“He was defeated in just a few rounds.”
The assembled disciples either twitched their mouths or wavered in their stance.
Was this even humanly possible to say? Wang Yunge was indeed one of the most powerful disciples of the Supreme Sect.
But to Jiang Fan, he wasn’t that strong!
Liu Wuchen couldn’t conceal his joy, grabbing Jiang Fan by the shoulders, and said, “Did your cultivation improve on your way to the Supreme Sect?”
Upon reflection, that was the only possibility!
Before Jiang Fan could respond,
Li Qingfeng burst out laughing: “Hahaha! Jiang Fan, you have greatly boosted the honor of our Green Cloud Sect!”
“I know Wang Yunge’s master, he has always looked down on our Green Cloud Sect.”
“By defeating his prized disciple, you have slapped him good and hard in the face.”
He had dealings with the elder of the Green Bamboo Peak.
That old guy’s disdain for the Green Cloud Sect was blatant and unhidden.
After a pause, Li Qingfeng added,
“Unfortunately, the master of the Hidden Sword Peak has disciples too advanced for you to defeat.”
“Otherwise, you could have also humbled him severely.”
Mentioning the elder of the Hidden Sword Peak,
Liu Wuchen’s expression turned sour as he snorted,
“Isn’t he the one who visited your Heavenly Sword Peak, yet left in disdain despite your good treatment?”
Li Qingfeng’s face darkened, “It didn’t bother me that he looked down on me.”
“But he belittled my disciples, disparaged their aptitude and swordsmanship, leaving many disheartened even now.”
“Sooner or later, I’ll make his disciples pay for this.” He then fell silent.
After all, storming the Supreme Sect for a confrontation seemed unrealistic.
Speaking of which merely showed his bravado without action.
He naturally felt too ashamed to continue.
As the atmosphere grew somewhat somber, Jiang Fan touched his nose and said,
“Elder Li, Master, you mentioned a female disciple at the Hidden Sword Peak named Li Shiqian?”
Hearing this,
Li Qingfeng responded with a hum: “She is a favored disciple of his, her strength reaching Ninth Layer Perfection in Foundation Establishment.”
“She is among the top three within the Supreme Sect.”
As he spoke,
Li Qingfeng, realizing something, asked with concern, “You didn’t encounter her, did you?”
“This female disciple is as sharp-tongued as her master.”
“When she accompanied him to Heavenly Sword Peak, she wasn’t any less sarcastic.” Indeed.
Jiang Fan gently nodded: “I met her in the arena.”
What?
Li Qingfeng quickly examined him up and down, “She didn’t do anything to you, right?”
“As a disciple of Green Cloud Peak, you drew quite the limelight by defeating Wang Yunge.”
“Someone like her would certainly not tolerate it.”
