Chapter 1871: You're No Match for Him!

“Brother Yun Xing, do you have a grudge against those two guys?”

Wu Jiantong, standing next to Yun Xiao, saw the state of those two people, and couldn’t help but feel a bit curious in his heart. He directly asked, having no idea about this person’s background.

“I just killed a so-called genius from Wansu Sect named Du Xin, no big feud!”

Upon hearing this, Yun Xiao touched his nose, and with this statement, not only Wu Jiantong, but also some young geniuses nearby, heard it clearly, and couldn’t help but gasp in surprise.

“Du Xin, he was one of the few geniuses in the Wansu Sect, I didn’t expect him to die at the hands of this guy named Yun Xing!”

One of the geniuses clearly had heard of Du Xin’s fame and was now shocked, as he was only at the peak of the Heavenly Realm, and at this moment, he no longer dared to underestimate the unfamiliar white-robed youth.

As for Wu Jiantong, his heart also trembled, although he wouldn’t have the slightest concern for a genius from Wansu Sect at the peak of the Heavenly Realm, this incident deepened his understanding of his new friend beside him.

“So that kid’s name is Yun Xing, knowing his name makes things much easier!”

Lu Zhanbai, with a Holy Rank Low Level power of soul, despite being a bit far away, overheard the conversation between Wu Jiantong and Yun Xiao and finally truly learned a name at this moment.

“Yun Xing, huh? Offending Wansu Sect and the Lu Family, your life is ruined!”

Gu Zhixuan had a deep-seated hatred for Yun Xiao, and now, with Lu Zhanbai backing him up, he spoke in a gloomy voice, causing Jiang Jingyu beside him to temporarily let go of his killing intent towards Ouyang Yi.

Jiang Jingyu was even curious about how that white-robed youngster managed to offend Mr. Bai, even though he killed a member of Wansu Sect, Du Xin. This Mr. Bai beside him was a genuinely talented genius in the early stage of the Hua Xuan Realm.

“Hmph, is Wansu Sect really that impressive?”

Just as Gu Zhixuan’s words fell, and Yun Xiao was about to retort, a slightly mocking voice preceded him, causing many people to turn their attention.

Looking over, they saw a young man in a gray robe approaching through the air, surrounded by an invisible aura, clearly a meridian refining genius with noteworthy soul power.

Moreover, from the aura of this gray-robed young man, many people could sense a hint of the strange, thinking that this young man, like Lu Zhanbai and Gu Zhixuan over there, was a Poison Vein Master of uncommon grade.

“Duan Wuwei, this is a grudge between Yun Xing and that kid, what gives you the right to intervene?”

It seemed Gu Zhixuan had known the gray-robed young man for a long time. At this moment, his face was as dark as water, and with this shout, many people immediately recognized the gray-robed young man’s identity.

“Duan Wuwei, isn’t he a newly risen young genius of the Heart Poison Sect?”

When the murmurs of Wu Jiantong beside Yun Xiao came out, he immediately understood Duan Wuwei’s background, thinking that he might also be a potential ally.

As the former Long Xiao Battle God, Yun Xiao knew well that the sect master and vice sect master of Wansu Sect, along with several powerful elders, due to differing ideals, ultimately caused the once mighty Poison Vein Sect to split and collapse, never to regain its former glory.

The so-called Heart Poison Sect naturally split off from Wansu Sect. The ideals of the Heart Poison Sect were not entirely the same as Wansu Sect, although they also gathered many Poison Vein Masters, they did not indiscriminately kill innocents and sometimes even used Poison Meridian Skills to save people.

If Wansu Sect resorted to unscrupulous means to achieve its ends, then the Heart Poison Sect’s ideal was likened to saving millions by killing one with poison, akin to Medical Pulse Masters treating diseases and saving lives.

Thus, even Wu Jiantong of the Holy Doctor Alliance, after realizing that Duan Wuwei belonged to the Heart Poison Sect, couldn’t help but feel a different sentiment, as these Heart Poison Sect’s Poison Vein geniuses were ultimately different from the vicious people of Wansu Sect.

“Hmph, your Wansu Sect behaves despicably and wants to harm people here, how could I, Duan Wuwei, turn a blind eye?”

Duan Wuwei exuded an aura of dominance, yet without evoking disgust, of course, with the exception of Gu Zhixuan and several others, as Wansu Sect has always been incompatible with the Heart Poison Sect.

Perhaps compared to their usual rivals, the Holy Doctor Alliance, what the Poison Vein Masters of Wansu Sect hated most was the Heart Poison Sect that “betrayed its master and ancestors.”

It was the vice sect master who led a secession to establish the so-called Heart Poison Sect, causing the overall strength of Wansu Sect to diminish greatly, almost dropping from a top force that dominated the continent to a second-rate power.

The Poison Vein Masters of Wansu Sect never reflected on themselves; they always believed that it was those of the Heart Poison Sect who betrayed their sect, an act of utter treachery.

“Duan Wuwei, you really overestimate yourself, with just your half-step Holy Rank cultivation, you think you have the right to meddle in this matter?”

Gu Zhixuan was initially quite wary of Duan Wuwei, but after glancing at Lu Zhanbai beside him, he gained more confidence, and from his words, everyone knew that Duan Wuwei’s Meridian Qi cultivation was probably on par with Gu Zhixuan.

However, what Gu Zhixuan did not notice was that as soon as he finished speaking, a trace of mockery flashed through the eyes of the usually domineering Duan Wuwei.

“Gu Zhixuan, have you forgotten the time in Erosion City when you were writhing in agony and wailing incessantly under the poisonous hands of my junior sister, Hanyi?”

This genius from Heart Poison Sect clearly had learned about that incident in Erosion City through some channels, and using it to ridicule the other party, the effect was simply remarkable!

Back then, Gu Zhixuan went to Erosion City with his house slave Du Qi, but ended up in a sorry state due to Liu Hanyi. If it weren’t for Grandma Jue Hu’s timely appearance, he would have likely died from Liu Hanyi’s Immortal Embryo Poison.

“Hanyi?”

Compared to Gu Zhixuan’s darkened face on the other side, a certain young man in white trembled involuntarily upon hearing the name “Hanyi,” for it was identical to a name deep in his memories.

“Brother Duan, the junior sister Hanyi you mentioned, could she be surnamed Liu?”

Yun Xiao, who thought of certain things, couldn’t hold back and directly asked. Only then, Duan Wuwei turned his gaze toward him.

“Hmm? You know my junior sister Hanyi?”

Although Duan Wuwei did not answer directly, such a counter-question undoubtedly confirmed Yun Xiao’s query, making the latter extremely ecstatic because he had learned the whereabouts of a life partner.

If Liu Hanyi had accidentally joined Wansu Sect, Yun Xiao would feel regret and would strive to find a chance to get her out of Wansu Sect to prevent her from being influenced by their extreme principles.

But now, upon hearing that Liu Hanyi is affiliated with Heart Poison Sect, Yun Xiao was mostly relieved; such an outcome was perfect for him.

By joining Heart Poison Sect, Liu Hanyi could further advance her Poison Meridian Skill without being tainted by the extreme principles of Wansu Sect, indeed a perfect arrangement.

“Yes, back on Tenglong Continent, we were very close friends!”

Yun Xiao did not hide this, and hearing the words “Tenglong Continent,” Duan Wuwei dismissed his doubts, for he already knew Master Eating Heart’s newly acquired disciple was from Tenglong Continent.

“Since that’s the case, I, Duan Wuwei, must wade into this muddied water!”

Initially stepping forth due to disdain for Wansu Sect’s conduct, Duan Wuwei now had more reasons not to remain aloof; that junior sister Hanyi was a precious asset of Heart Poison Sect and was highly valued by even the Sect Leader.

“One day, I’ll make that woman named Liu Hanyi wish she were dead, begging for mercy at my feet!”

While the two were conversing, Wansu Sect’s talent, Gu Zhixuan, finally regained his consciousness. His resentful voice, filled with gritted teeth, allowed everyone to imagine the humiliation he faced back then.

“When did Heart Poison Sect produce a genius named ‘Liu Hanyi’?”

Many were puzzled, including Wu Jiantong beside Yun Xiao, who wore a bewildered expression; he couldn’t recall ever hearing the name Liu Hanyi.

But seeing Gu Zhixuan’s extremely resentful face, Wu Jiantong realized that he had been severely disadvantaged by Liu Hanyi, so he decided to investigate thoroughly after the Xuanyuan Platform Meeting.

“Mr. Bai, how should we proceed? Should I go capture that kid and await your judgment?”

Gu Zhixuan’s mind was disturbed, yet Jiang Jingyu stood by Lu Zhanbai, and seeing Mr. Bai’s enmity towards Yun Xing, he volunteered.

“You’re not his match!”

To Jiang Jingyu’s surprise, Lu Zhanbai shook his head with a gloomy expression. His words left Jiang Jingyu dissatisfied.

Because at this moment, Jiang Jingyu sensed that the young man in white had the same half-step Holy Rank cultivation as himself, likely not even reaching the Sixth Transition Half-step Holy Rank.

Despite being Chongxiao Sect’s top genius, even if he couldn’t surpass Lu Zhanbai, dealing with a fellow half-step Holy Rank stranger was certainly within his capability, right?

Jiang Jingyu had never heard of Yun Xing, so he believed the young man in white did not belong to any powerful sect or family and was confident in confronting a cultivator of the same level.

What Jiang Jingyu didn’t know was that the young man in white with only half-step Holy Rank nearly suppressed the reliant Lu Zhanbai completely.

However, since Lu Zhanbai had spoken, Jiang Jingyu dared not say more, considering the person beside him was practically his superior, whom he needed to show some respect.
