The wind howled, mountains erupted, and rocks shattered the sky. The ground trembled as a black mist surged upward like a signal fire. At this moment, North Mountain resembled a scene from the apocalypse, instilling fear even from a distance.
The commotion was immense; no matter where one was within Ziyang Sect, it could be felt clearly. Almost as soon as the third thunderous roar echoed, shocked and horrified gazes gathered towards North Mountain within Ziyang Sect.
However, it was strange that amidst such a tremendous disturbance, not a single mysterious Dao Sovereign Realm Expert was seen in Ziyang Sect, nor any of the Heavenly Realm elders. It seemed they were completely oblivious to the mutation occurring at North Mountain.
Could they really not sense it?
No one believed that could be true, yet at this moment, no one intervened. The implications of this were clearly worth pondering. Meanwhile, Outer Sect Disciples and even Inner Sect Disciples from other peaks merely watched from afar, none daring to approach North Mountain, as if something terrifying lay there.
As Bai Xingchen gazed at the black mist rising like smoke and the two crimson lights hanging high within it, his handsome face had long lost its initial gentle smile. The calmness and composure were replaced by shock and fear.
Feeling the terrifying aura enveloping him and the strangely absent presence of anyone from Ziyang Sect, Bai Xingchen's pupils constricted. A secret rumor once circulated within Ziyang Sect flashed through his mind. As he looked towards the two crimson lights in the distance, his fear intensified.
At that moment, Bai Xingchen's already horrified expression changed again. He suddenly realized that the two crimson lights suspended in the vast black mist deep within North Mountain were actually looking at him.
As those two crimson lights approached him, the space around Bai Xingchen began to fluctuate violently, as if an invisible hand was squeezing him and the surrounding space together. The immense pressure caused an unusual flush to appear on Bai Xingchen's handsome face. A strong sense of life-and-death crisis enveloped him!
However, in stark contrast to Bai Xingchen's perilous situation, Fang Chen, who was less than an arm's length away from him, felt no discomfort whatsoever. On the contrary, at that moment when the terrifying black mist and crimson lights rose, Fang Chen felt an inexplicable sense of closeness.
Now that Bai Xingchen was in such dire straits, the oppressive force surrounding Fang Chen had vanished completely. Observing Bai Xingchen's face filled with shock and fear—his complexion gradually reddening—Fang Chen's eyes grew increasingly peculiar.
This scene of Bai Xingchen mirrored what Fang Chen had experienced earlier. The difference was that Fang Chen's predicament stemmed from Bai Xingchen's pressure, while Bai Xingchen seemed affected by whatever existence triggered this astonishing mutation deep within North Mountain.
Is this considered revenge on himself?
Fang Chen's eyes sparkled with light as this somewhat unbelievable thought suddenly surfaced in his mind. Once this thought appeared, it was difficult to suppress, causing Fang Chen's heart to tremble wildly.
To provoke such a terrifying commotion, even before his true self arrived, he could suppress Bai Xingchen, who was at the peak of the Primordial Embryo Realm and nearly had one foot in the Heavenly Realm. The cultivation and strength of this mysterious existence must be astonishing.
Recalling the three earth-shattering roars from earlier, Fang Chen's gaze flickered, and the look of confusion on his face deepened. Clearly, it was not a single person but an extremely powerful beast—one that surpassed even the Heavenly Realm.
How could there be such a terrifying beast within the Ziyang Sect? Why was this beast located beneath the North Mountain? One question after another suddenly emerged in Fang Chen's mind. However, it was evident that these were far beyond what he could comprehend at this moment. All he could do now was...
Take advantage of his weakness!
Looking at Bai Xingchen, who was enveloped by a tremendous force and struggling to move with a flushed face, a chilling glint flashed in Fang Chen's dark eyes. He turned his head slightly, rubbed his wrist, and a smirk appeared on his handsome face.
Suddenly, Fang Chen made his move.
Slap!
The crisp sound of a slap echoed as a clear five-finger mark suddenly appeared on Bai Xingchen's almost flawless face.
"Your skin is really thick," Fang Chen teased. However, deep within his dark pupils, a hint of fear flickered.
He had used quite a bit of Qi Energy for that slap, but even in the current situation where Bai Xingchen offered no resistance at all, it merely reddened his fair face without causing any injury. Seeing this, even Fang Chen couldn't help but marvel at Bai Xingchen's strength. Yet, Bai Xingchen's power only fueled the fury within Fang Chen.
As the fierce light flickered in his eyes, he raised his hand again, ready to slap Bai Xingchen across the face. Within the Ziyang Sect, killing among fellow disciples was prohibited by sect rules. Bai Xingchen might dare to defy these rules and kill him openly, but Fang Chen did not have that courage. Bai Xingchen's audacity stemmed from his strength and status, which allowed him to alter certain regulations. As he had previously stated, "My words are the sect rules." This may have sounded arrogant, but it was undeniable that, in a certain sense, it was true.
Because, whether in the Ziyang Sect or anywhere else, rules were established by those with great power. As long as one possessed sufficient strength, they could completely disregard so-called rules. At this moment, Fang Chen clearly lacked such power.
The only reason he felt emboldened to confront Bai Xingchen was due to the recent mutation occurring in Beishan. Although no one from the sect had come to intervene and there were no elders or Daoist Master Realm experts present to stop him, Fang Chen could not be certain that they would not act if he attempted to kill Bai Xingchen.
After all, Bai Xingchen was a genius who had already one foot in the Heavenly Realm; his future prospects were limitless. If he were killed now, it would be a significant loss for the Ziyang Sect. Moreover, it would be particularly humiliating for the sect if a newcomer managed to kill him under such circumstances. Fang Chen knew that if he were an elder, he would never allow such a thing to happen.
Thus, since it was clear that he could not kill his opponent and both had already become mortal enemies, humiliating Bai Xingchen severely became Fang Chen's best option. After all, having been oppressed by Bai Xingchen before, he harbored a deep resentment that needed to be released.
"Impudent!" Feeling the burning sensation on his face, Bai Xingchen shouted angrily. The once flawless features of his face now twisted into a grimace, and his previously deep-set eyes sparkled with a hint of crimson as if flames were about to burst forth.
Since beginning his cultivation journey, he had never endured such humiliation. Not to mention that he was now an Inner Sect Disciple standing at the pinnacle among his peers. Yet today, he found himself being humiliated by an ant whom he had previously toyed with at will, with their lives completely in his grasp and without any means of resistance.
"I'll make you pay!" Fang Chen cursed angrily as his palm flew toward Bai Xingchen's face.
Slap! Slap! Slap! A series of resounding slaps echoed at that moment.
