"That beast's strength is formidable. You… you should be careful."
"Nonsense!"
Xie Qiye cursed in anger.
It was merely a beast at the fifth layer of the Foundation Establishment realm. What if he encountered a stronger one?
Would he then kneel down and beg for forgiveness?
Clearly, that was not the outcome they desired, as everyone had their own thoughts.
If someone with such a timid spirit came here to cause trouble, the consequences would surely be beyond their ability to bear.
"Get to the side."
A furious shout.
He hastily retreated to the side in fear, as they all understood the situation.
If danger arose, the outcome might not be so simple. Whatever happened, it was what they saw.
"You… what kind of attitude is this?"
He thought that by seeking refuge with them, the situation would improve slightly. He hadn't expected Xie Qiye to have the same attitude.
After all, they were all smart people and understood what was at stake.
Boom!
Xie Qiye ignored him any further and directly lunged at the beast.
The beast was not weak, but in front of Xie Qiye, it seemed to lack the necessary skill.
Instantly, it was struck by Xie Qiye's fist, staggering backward and falling to the ground.
Roar!
The beast, hit by him, retreated repeatedly.
"That's great."
Seeing that the beast was no match, Han Baoguo, who was nearby, rejoiced.
However, he secretly pondered that if he had known his strength was this great, there would have been no need for any fear.
After all, they were all worried about trouble. If not for this, there wouldn't have been so many problems.
Yet, as far as Xie Qiye was concerned, Han Weiguo was utterly beneath his notice.
No matter how he praised, Xie Qiye acted as if he heard nothing.
"You know, the beast is no match for you," Yun Lang said coldly.
He believed that Han Weiguo's actions were intended to target him.
After all, they had all seen it. The beast was only at the fifth layer of the Foundation Establishment realm, which was far inferior to Han Weiguo's actual strength.
If a real accident were to occur, it might not be what they had imagined.
"I… I…" Han Weiguo hesitated.
He had not expected his plan to be detected by Yun Lang.
Indeed, the beast was not his opponent, but he was unsure of Yun Lang and Xie Qiye's true strength.
Therefore, he had intended to use the beast to test them. As expected, Xie Qiye had fallen for it.
However, it seemed that Yun Lang had no intention of paying attention to his schemes.
"Hmph! Since we are fellow disciples, your actions are truly beneath our contempt."
"Yun Lang!" Han Weiguo exclaimed indignantly.
Seeing that Yun Lang was about to expose him, if he were exposed by Yun Lang, it would be of no benefit to him.
There might even be more trouble in the future. He understood this clearly in his heart.
"What?"
Yun Lang asked, puzzled.
He had not expected him to be so furious.
"You… you are bullying me too much."
"Hmph! I am merely speaking the truth," Yun Lang replied, shaking his head.
He showed no fear of Han Weiguo, as he knew the man's true strength.
If Han Weiguo were truly to confront them, Yun Lang would show no mercy.
"I… I encountered the beast just now and forgot to defend myself in my haste."
Han Weiguo explained.
However, his explanation was clearly not acceptable.
If it were truly possible, things would not be as simple as they appeared.
Everyone knew what problems might arise, but considering the situation, it seemed that trouble was inevitable.
"Hmph! What you say is simple enough, but now that you have seen it, can you go back to find Jiang Feng and the others?"
"I…" Han Weiguo hesitated.
He had just fallen out with Jiang Feng and the others. If he were to go back now, wouldn't that be too much?
Furthermore, they all knew that trouble might arise, and in the end, everyone understood that danger was approaching.
Boom!
An explosion.
Xie Qiye had completely dealt with the beast. He sheathed his long sword and walked towards them.
"Useless trash. I knew you weren't their match."
"I… how would I know?" Han Weiguo explained.
The matter had nothing to do with him, yet they were all saying this.
Coupled with Jiang Feng's disdain for him, it was obvious how much he resented the other party.
"Alright, no need to say any more. We will naturally handle this," Yun Lang said indignantly.
He had no intention of paying attention to them, as he knew in his heart that if danger arose, someone would step forward.
However, it was a pity that they did not know Han Weiguo's true intentions, otherwise, it would not have turned out this way.
"Speak, what are your intentions?"
Xie Qiye inquired.
The beast that the other party described as so formidable had offered no resistance in Xie Qiye's hands.
If this continued, none of them would be able to resolve the situation.
"I… I don't know, but I would prefer to travel with you."
"Why!"
Yun Lang asked, confused.
He had come to find them for a reason, which meant there was definitely a problem.
After all, Yun Lang and the others were not children, and Han Weiguo's few words could not deceive them.
"Because… because I had a falling out with Jiang Feng."
"What!"
Xie Qiye exclaimed in surprise.
He had actually fallen out with Jiang Feng.
At the beginning, no one had asked him to choose Jiang Feng.
Now that something had happened, they were stepping forward to speak. Wouldn't that put them in danger?
"What I want to know is, you had a falling out with him, so why are you here with us?"
Xie Qiye inquired.
It seemed that from the beginning, he had not asked to travel with them.
Even his earlier statement about looking for Jiang Feng and the others was merely his own personal wish.
"I… I came to join you because I feel he is no longer qualified."
"Is that so?" Xie Qiye shook his head.
Such a turncoat would bring no benefit, even if kept by their side.
Moreover, they all understood the problems that might arise, yet no one stepped forward to express their opinion.
"You… what do you people mean by this?"
"My meaning is very clear: we intend to deal with you."
"You…" Han Weiguo hesitated.
They were disciples of the Taichu Sect, yet they were about to fight each other in the secret realm.
"Yun Lang, you should be aware of our sect's rules. Please tell him."
"No need."
Before Yun Lang could speak, Xie Qiye suddenly interrupted them.
"What?" Han Weiguo asked, confused.
