Su Xi and Lin Qing were discussing what the enforcement team outside was doing to cause such a commotion.
As they were speculating on various reasons, they suddenly heard Tian Gang Zhenren, who had been silent all along, speak up, "Those people are here for the demon race, and their intentions are malicious."
"Huh?" Hearing Tian Gang Zhenren's words, Su Xi and Lin Qing both turned their gaze towards him.
Neither of them had left their rooms today and didn't know the specifics of what had happened. Since Tian Gang Zhenren said this, he must know something.
After all, Tian Gang Zhenren usually didn't speak, and now that he had opened his mouth, it must be because he had discovered something unusual.
Before Tian Gang Zhenren could speak further, he couldn't help but glare at Lin Qing again. If Lin Qing hadn't been so incompetent in handling matters, how would others dare to push their luck and bully them at their doorstep?
He had no idea who these enforcement teams were to be so arrogant, and the people of the Five Great Immortal Mountains seemed too weak.
Lin Qing was utterly bewildered by Tian Gang Zhenren's sudden glare. Why was it suddenly being brought back to him, and what had he done?
After glancing at Lin Qing, Tian Gang Zhenren slowly began to speak, "Because those people started searching as soon as they entered, and they also did a lot of underhanded things. It's obvious they are not here with good intentions..."
Hearing Tian Gang Zhenren's words, Su Xi's expression instantly turned strange. If that was really the case, then it was clear that these people had done so many things because they were after her.
After speaking, Tian Gang Zhenren looked at Lin Qing and said irritably, "I won't make a move against those insignificant characters outside, but I don't want to see them."
With his status, there was no need for him to personally deal with minor figures, but since those people dared to offend Penglai Mountain, they naturally couldn't be let off easily.
Lin Qing understood what Tian Gang Zhenren meant and knew what he wanted to do, but his face showed some difficulty.
The cultivation world was no longer solely dominated by the Five Great Immortal Mountains; other sects had also begun to emerge. The enforcement teams were equivalent to forces formed by these other powers, and their strength should not be underestimated.
Furthermore, Yu Fan was the young master of the Qingcheng Sect, the largest sect among those factions, and the Qingcheng Sect was extremely protective of its own.
If he killed the people, the old man of the Qingcheng Sect would definitely not let it go and would come to cause trouble every day, even resorting to dirty tricks.
Tian Gang Zhenren looked at Lin Qing before him, his eyes filled with anger.
When had the disciples of his sect become so reliant on the whims of others?
The rules of their Penglai Mountain had always been "life and death are trivial, fight if you disagree." Now that they had been bullied to their doorstep, if they didn't resist, he felt he would have no reason to live and planned to clean house first.
Lin Qing cast a pleading look at Su Xi, hoping she would speak up for him. After all, in the Ancestor Master's heart, Su Xi held more importance than he did.
Su Xi completely ignored Lin Qing's pleading gaze and instead said, "I believe that when dealing with these people, we must not show any weakness in our demeanor, otherwise, more and more people will come to bully us."
In the interstellar world, she had already understood this principle, so even though she knew Yu Fan's status was noble, she had no intention of letting him off.
Only by being more ruthless than others would others not dare to bully them casually.
"What do you intend to do?" Tian Gang Zhenren looked at Su Xi, his eyes showing approval. For a woman to have such great mettle was much better than some useless men.
Lin Qing saw that neither of them paid any attention to him and were discussing how to kill people on their own, which gave him a headache. These two only thought about taking action, but how would he clean up the mess?
He originally thought he was the crazy one. Now, compared to these two, he suddenly felt like he was the normal one.
Outside, Yu Fan and the others were already dizzy and disoriented, completely unaware of what they were doing.
To teach these people a lesson, Tian Gang Zhenren had already sealed their magical powers, and they were now relying solely on their physical strength to endure.
However, even though they were banging their heads until they were dizzy, their actions continued unabated, and they couldn't stop.
"Bang."
Amidst the sound of head-banging, Su Xi walked out of the room and approached everyone.
"What do you want?" Yu Fan noticed Su Xi beside him and said weakly. In his tone, there was no longer the arrogant and imperious demeanor he had before.
Su Xi did not answer Yu Fan's question, but instead took out a pile of talismans from her hand and stuck one on each of them.
"What have you done to us?" Yu Fan looked at Su Xi in terror, not knowing what new scheme he had fallen into.
Even though he was already so pathetic, the cruel Su Xi still had the heart to act against them.
Su Xi still had no intention of answering and called for a disciple to throw Yu Fan and the others out.
These people were still useful now, so they couldn't be killed. They had to let them go to catch bigger fish.
Moreover, since they had lost so much face today, they would definitely not be willing to let them off and would look for opportunities to retaliate. Once these people made a move, it would be the time for them to be utterly destroyed.
Yu Fan and the others were thrown out like dead dogs. Although they were in a sorry state, they were at least freed from the spell.
The person behind him touched his head, which had become like that of an old man with a bald pate, and asked unwillingly, "Brother Yu, what should we do now?"
The enforcement team had never suffered such a great loss in the Five Great Immortal Mountains before, and they were naturally unwilling to let it go now.
The dignity of his enforcement team absolutely could not be lost.
Yu Fan looked at the gate of Penglai Mountain with hatred filling his face, gritting his teeth and saying, "This matter absolutely cannot be let go. The people here must pay the price."
Hearing Yu Fan's words, someone asked with worry, "However, Lin Qing is in Penglai Mountain now, what should we do?"
Their strength was nowhere near enough to deal with Lin Qing, and rashly going would only be seeking their own death.
Yu Fan sneered and said, "Someone will deal with Lin Qing. What we need to do now is just deal with the others. As for the problems in our bodies, we'll figure it out by interrogating the person later."
Yu Fan's status was noble, and his subordinates only needed to obey his orders.
The next day, as soon as the sky brightened, Lin Qing was summoned.
Even without thinking, he knew what it meant. However, since those people had used the previously agreed-upon rules, he could only obey.
Not long after Lin Qing left, Yu Fan led his men over again. Having suffered a loss yesterday, they had curbed their arrogance today and did not dare to barge in directly.
"Su Xi, get out here." Yu Fan stood at the entrance, full of pride.
They were not here to cause trouble today; they had a legitimate reason, so they were prepared to deal with Su Xi in a righteous manner.
As soon as Su Xi came out and saw Yu Fan and his group again, she showed a smile on her face, "What, do you guys want to come and kowtow again?"
Hearing Su Xi's words, Yu Fan and the others' faces instantly turned grim.
Could their dignity be violated by such a junior disciple like Su Xi?
How laughable that this person, facing impending doom, still didn't know.
Yu Fan snorted coldly and looked at Su Xi, "Sharp-tongued. We have something important to discuss with you today."
Hearing Yu Fan's words, Su Xi touched her nose and asked, "What do you want to see me about?"
