Above Jiang Yun and Fang Ruolin’s heads, a male figure had appeared at some unknown time.
This man, dressed in snow-white robes, with long hair flowing, stood suspended in mid-air, his hands clasped behind his back. A gentle smile graced his handsome face, a face that would make most women feel overshadowed. He gazed at the distant sky, as if admiring a beautiful scene.
Everyone almost stopped breathing, their gazes fixed in a daze on this perfect man.
Fang Yuxuan, the top Inner Sect Disciple!
Although every Disciple within the Wen Dao Sect had heard this name, very few had actually met the owner of this name.
No one had expected that this small competition between new and old Disciples today would actually draw him out.
However, it was no wonder, as his own younger sister, despite using all her tricks, was still no match for the unknown Jiang Yun!
If he didn't appear now, then without a doubt, Fang Ruolin would certainly be thoroughly taught a lesson by Jiang Yun today.
“Greetings, Senior Brother Fang!”
Xiao Yishu was the first to regain his senses, bowing respectfully to Fang Yuxuan. Even with his status, he was filled with reverence when facing the top Inner Sect Disciple.
Hearing Xiao Yishu’s voice, Fang Yuxuan finally withdrew his gaze from the sky and smiled, cupping his hands in return to Xiao Yishu, saying, “Junior Brother Xiao is too polite!”
Even Xiao Yishu showed such an attitude, not to mention the other Disciples. Especially after Fang Yuxuan spoke, everyone also came back to their senses, and one after another, excited praises came from the crowd.
“Senior Brother Fang, oh my goodness, I actually saw Senior Brother Fang today. This is truly fortunate for three lifetimes, no, no, nine lifetimes!”
“Senior Brother Fang is indeed just as the rumors say, simply like a celestial being descended to earth. Truly worthy of being the idol of all our Disciples!”
“Yes, whether it’s his appearance, his temperament, or his approachable personality, he is truly deserving of being the top Inner Sect Disciple!”
Even Huo Yuan, who usually didn’t put anyone in his eyes, had a face full of admiration.
Only Wu Shang remained expressionless, calmly staring at Fang Yuxuan. However, deep in his eyes, a spark of fervent Battle Intent flickered gently.
In any case, at this moment, everyone had almost forgotten the purpose of Fang Yuxuan’s appearance, forgotten Jiang Yun, who seemed to be under a body-fixing spell, completely motionless.
Jiang Yun naturally already knew Fang Yuxuan’s identity, but he had no mind for anything else.
At this moment, he only felt his body being firmly suppressed by an invisible mountain. Fang Ruolin’s face was clearly within reach, but his outstretched palm simply could not move forward a single inch.
“Is this the power of the Blessed Land Realm! It’s indeed much stronger than Feng Wuji! Although I truly can’t contend with it now, to think of stopping me like this is perhaps underestimating me, Jiang Yun!”
Amidst Jiang Yun’s internal roar, his body, covered in countless scars, trembled slightly. He was exerting all his strength to resist the invisible mountain on his body.
At the same time, Fang Ruolin’s slightly sweet and innocent voice also rang out, saying, “Brother, why did you take so long to come!”
“I didn’t come too late, did I! You didn’t suffer any injuries!”
Fang Yuxuan’s gaze finally shifted to his younger sister. His gentle voice, tinged with a hint of doting, once again captivated countless female Disciples.
However, some people noticed that although Fang Yuxuan was looking at Fang Ruolin, his eyes completely ignored Jiang Yun, who was right next to Fang Ruolin.
Fang Yuxuan completely disregarded Jiang Yun’s presence!
This disregard, however, caused everyone’s gazes to gradually begin to focus on Jiang Yun.
Among these gazes, there was sympathy and pity, but more often, there was schadenfreude. They wanted to see what kind of fate awaited this wild man, who was so arrogant as to dare to teach Fang Ruolin a lesson.
“Slap!”
Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out!
Although the crisp sound was not loud, it was like a thunderclap from the Nine Heavens, shaking everyone’s Qi and blood, leaving them with expressions of shock.
Because the crisp sound was the sound of a slap!
It was the sound of Jiang Yun’s palm hitting Fang Ruolin’s face!
Jiang Yun, who had been completely ignored by Fang Yuxuan, had surprisingly broken free from the powerful, suffocating invisible mountain that enveloped his body, and continued his unfinished action—slapping Fang Ruolin!
Such a dramatic turn of events left everyone stunned.
Jiang Yun actually slapped his own younger sister in front of Fang Yuxuan!
This was simply courting death!
Fang Ruolin, covering her slightly swollen cheek, looked at Jiang Yun as if she were a fool. She never expected that even with her brother present, Jiang Yun would still dare, and even manage, to hit her!
However, Jiang Yun likewise ignored Fang Yuxuan’s presence, his eyes still fixed on Fang Ruolin, saying, “Tell me, where did you trick Lu Xiaoyu into going?”
At this moment, Jiang Yun finally stated the reason why he had chosen Fang Ruolin as his opponent.
And the name “Lu Xiaoyu,” though most people present had never heard it, caused an old man with white hair on Hundred Beast Peak to suddenly narrow his eyes, a look of realization appearing on his wrinkled face.
“Junior Brother, your courage is a bit too great!”
Although the words Fang Yuxuan spoke were not particularly harsh, the cold light flickering in his eyes clearly indicated the anger in his heart.
Fang Yuxuan naturally knew about the shady things his younger sister did in secret. He didn’t care if these things were made public, but he cared about his own face!
Jiang Yun’s slap was not on Fang Ruolin’s face at all, but on his, Fang Yuxuan’s, face!
“Bang!”
As Fang Yuxuan’s words fell, he suddenly flicked his finger lightly, and Jiang Yun’s body immediately flew backward like a huge rock, falling heavily to the ground.
“Pfft!”
Jiang Yun felt as if his chest had been struck hard by a heavy hammer. At least half of his sternum and ribs were broken, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Taking a deep breath and suppressing the surging Qi and blood within his body, he finally raised his head and looked at Fang Yuxuan for the first time, saying coldly, “My courage is not great. It’s just that, like you, as an elder brother, I must do my best to protect my younger sister!”
Jiang Yun naturally knew that he was no match for Fang Yuxuan now, but as he said, since he regarded Lu Xiaoyu as his younger sister, then as an elder brother, he would protect his younger sister at all costs, even if he had to face Fang Yuxuan, the top Inner Sect Disciple of the Wen Dao Sect!
As he spoke, Jiang Yun endured the pain in his body and slowly stood up from the ground, once again looking at Fang Ruolin, saying, “Tell me, where is Xiaoyu?!”
“Haha!” Fang Yuxuan suddenly laughed, saying, “Like me? You, are you worthy? Being your younger sister is not a happy thing, after all, you, this elder brother, simply have no ability to protect your younger sister!”
The blatant sarcasm in his words did not anger Jiang Yun. In fact, he acted as if he hadn’t heard Fang Yuxuan’s words at all, his gaze still intensely fixed on Fang Ruolin, saying, “If you don’t tell me, I’ll beat it out of you!”
“Buzz!”
Jiang Yun raised his wrist, and a fireball the size of an egg suddenly appeared in his palm, leaving his hand and throwing itself fiercely towards Fang Ruolin.
