"Indeed, our enemies will likely be trembling with fear," Li Jun said coldly.
This was meant for Yun Lang to hear.
When Wang Long heard the news, his heart filled with even more joy.
Yun Lang's strength was something everyone knew; if he continued to grow, he would pose a great threat to them all.
Moreover, eliminating Yun Lang was not something they could achieve at the moment.
"Useless garbage!" Yun Lang sneered, yet he asked curiously, "Why would Li Jun want to kill Wang Long?"
Logically, Li Jun was a minion of the Wang family, and should not have any intention of harming Wang Long.
However, everything Li Jun was doing was clearly intended to lead to Wang Long's demise.
Yun Lang began to suspect that something was amiss between them.
"Yun Lang, don't think you're the only one who had a fortunate encounter in the Monster Beast Mountain Range."
"That's right, our young master Wang's strength is also extremely formidable," Li Jun declared.
His flattery fed Wang Long's blind confidence, leaving him with no cause for concern.
"Yun Lang, the only reason I'm not killing you now is because I want to defeat you decisively during the Tai Chu Sect martial competition."
"Oh? If that's the case, then I shall certainly look forward to it," Yun Lang replied with a shake of his head.
Wang Long was simply a waste.
Previously, relying on the Wang family's influence, he could act with impunity within the outer sect of the Tai Chu Sect.
However, in the inner sect, even with the Wang family's immense power, they would likely have significant reservations.
Now that Yun Lang had been specially promoted to be Lin Ru Xue's direct disciple, as the successor of Snow Extreme Peak, he was bound to be the center of attention.
If the Wang family took advantage of the situation to target him within the Tai Chu Sect, they would undoubtedly face trouble later on.
"Hmph! Let's go," Wang Long gritted out.
He turned and led the bewildered Li Jun away from the scene.
However, Li Jun hadn't expected that they would actually leave.
After all, their plan was for Wang Long and Yun Lang to fall out.
While Wang Long's strength had indeed improved, it was still far inferior to Yun Lang's.
If they were to fight, Yun Lang would defeat Wang Long within two rounds.
Once both sides started fighting desperately, there would be no room for retreat, and greater preparations would be necessary.
"Young Master Wang, are we… just leaving like this?" Li Jun asked, confused.
He had thought they were going to fight, and was surprised by this outcome.
"Nonsense! Do you think we are his match?" Wang Long retorted angrily.
Despite Wang Long's arrogance, he understood the current situation.
A single misstep could cost him his life, let alone anything else.
"This…" Li Jun frowned.
He hadn't expected this brat to have such self-awareness; he thought Wang Long was truly foolish enough to confront the person before them.
"What a pity, it seems Yun Lang will continue to evade justice."
"What did you say!" Wang Long frowned.
He detested those words the most, as he knew deep down that Yun Lang was indeed somewhat arrogant.
But even so, they were still unable to deal with him.
When the time came to act in the future, it might not be so simple.
"Young Master Wang?" Li Jun hesitated.
He hadn't expected Wang Long to be genuinely angered; this was somewhat surprising.
"Hmph! Enough, you don't need to say more. I will naturally find a way to deal with him," Wang Long declared furiously.
To be spoken to like that in front of him, Wang Long, was clearly a sign of being looked down upon.
If things continued this way, it would truly bring trouble to everyone.
With that, he looked at the person before him, unsure of how to proceed.
"Damn it!"
As Wang Long walked forward, Li Jun's expression suddenly turned grim.
If it weren't for his Nascent Ring, why would Li Jun have gone through all this trouble?
Meanwhile, Yun Lang, who had left the scene, didn't take Wang Long seriously at all.
For him, dealing with them was a simple matter.
With a little effort, there would surely be no problems later on.
"I fear Wang Long will meet his end at Li Jun's hands," Yun Lang sighed.
He had seen earlier that Li Jun's intention was to use him to kill Wang Long.
Given the situation, excessive worry was useless. After all, Wang Long offered him no benefit.
Even if Wang Long survived, he would eventually come to deal with Yun Lang, and that was the most important consideration.
Roar!
A furious roar.
At that moment, a monster beast with the strength of the eighth level of Foundation Establishment appeared before Yun Lang.
"No way," Yun Lang's face paled in shock.
He hadn't expected it to be so powerful, and he was completely unprepared.
Monster beasts at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment were already incredibly strong; he never imagined there would be one at this level.
Roar!
Upon seeing Yun Lang, the monster beast charged at him without hesitation.
However, Yun Lang was no longer the same as before; he had no fear of it.
Boom!
Yun Lang unleashed his Tai Chu Fist technique to its utmost, sending a torrent of fist shadows towards the opponent.
Even so, the monster beast devoured his fist shadows and nearly injured Yun Lang.
"How can this be?" Yun Lang exclaimed in surprise.
This unexpected turn of events was something they couldn't accept.
But they could all understand the potential threat that lay ahead.
"Damn it!"
Seeing this, Yun Lang knew the opponent was not easy to deal with. However, admitting defeat was basically impossible for him.
He immediately retreated from the combat circle, understanding the beast's formidable strength and having no intention of engaging it head-on.
Roar!
Yun Lang wished to retreat, but unfortunately, the monster beast had no intention of giving up.
The beast saw him entirely as food. If this weren't the case, they wouldn't have such worries.
After all, everyone had their own thoughts, and they understood the situation, so they knew the problem had arisen.
Whoosh!
At this moment, Yun Lang retrieved the Heavenly Spirit Sword from his Nascent Ring.
Swish, swish, swish!
Several sword energies shot directly towards the monster beast.
Although the beast's strength was formidable, under Yun Lang's current fierce assault, it was unable to dodge.
Liu He Sword Technique!
The sword swept across the eight desolate directions, and sword energies, like a net, sealed off the monster beast's escape route.
With no way out, facing such a powerful Yun Lang, the monster beast had no means of escape.
Swish!
A beam of sword energy flashed past.
The monster beast's throat was directly cut, and blood spurted out a great distance.
"Truly formidable," Yun Lang marveled.
He hadn't expected to encounter a monster beast at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment.
But this was good; at least his mission was completed.
He slowly approached, extracted the beast's heart, placed it into his Nascent Ring, and left.
