"I am Ye Kunlun!"
Ye Kunlun glanced dismissively at Mo Rufeng. So this was the extent of the Thunderclap Sect's leader's character. No wonder the sect was declining year by year!
Mo Rufeng stared intently at Ye Kunlun. In his eyes, Ye Kunlun seemed like an ordinary person, without any fluctuation of aura.
It was Wu Dao, standing beside Ye Kunlun, who drew Mo Rufeng's gaze.
Mo Rufeng could tell that Wu Dao was also at the Spirit Opening realm.
"The young master of the Boundless Prison, merely relying on the presence of a few strong individuals to act recklessly!" Mo Rufeng taunted.
"Wu Dao, slap him!"
Wu Dao flashed and lunged at Mo Rufeng.
Mo Rufeng hadn't expected Ye Kunlun to be so impulsive, daring to have his subordinate attack him in the Purple Smoke Tower.
"You court death!" Mo Rufeng roared as Wu Dao reached him.
However, at that very moment, he discovered with immense terror that the power within him seemed to be sealed, completely unresponsive to his commands.
*Slap—*
Wu Dao delivered a fierce slap to his face!
The crisp sound of the slap echoed through the corridor, startling even Gu Changsheng beside them.
Mo Rufeng wouldn't have stood there like a fool to receive that slap. The only explanation was that Ye Kunlun had acted secretly, preventing Mo Rufeng from even retaliating.
After all, Gu Changsheng had sparred with Ye Kunlun before and was no match for him. How could Mo Rufeng possibly be Ye Kunlun's opponent?
Nangong Lie and Nangong Huo were also bewildered.
Mo Rufeng, as the sect leader of the Thunderclap Sect, was known for his fiery temper. How could he have taken a slap like that?
At the same time, they gained a deeper understanding of Ye Kunlun. He was truly someone who acted without hesitation!
The next second, Mo Rufeng's power returned.
"Die!" he roared, raising his palm, a faint glow of lightning emanating from it.
"Again!" Ye Kunlun said indifferently.
*Slap—*
Wu Dao's backhand slap extinguished the faint lightning glow Mo Rufeng had conjured!
Wu Dao's second slap was even more potent than the first.
Mo Rufeng spat out two bloody teeth, looking utterly pathetic.
The sect leader of the Thunderclap Sect, the foremost sect in the capital, had been slapped twice and lost two teeth in the Purple Smoke Tower.
If this news were to spread, the entire world would surely mock the Thunderclap Sect.
Mo Rufeng was filled with fear. As the sect leader, he was not foolish.
The power within him had vanished and returned as if controlled. This could only mean that a powerful individual had suppressed his strength!
Mo Rufeng's eyes turned red, and he bellowed, "I don't know which senior is present. Please, do not toy with this junior!"
"Sect Leader Mo, our Qin Tian Tower wishes to have a word with Young Master Ye. Might I ask you to leave first?" Gu Changsheng spoke, offering Mo Rufeng a way out.
Mo Rufeng, having been bested by Ye Kunlun and Wu Dao, knew that lingering would only bring further humiliation. He snorted coldly, "Ye Kunlun, our Thunderclap Sect will remember this!"
Ye Kunlun chuckled, "I will personally visit the Thunderclap Sect another day."
Mo Rufeng left in disgrace.
"Wu Dao, let's go!" Ye Kunlun called to Wu Dao, ignoring Nangong Li and Nangong Huo, and prepared to depart.
However, after only a few steps, he seemed to recall something and turned back to remind Gu Changsheng, "Gu Changsheng, the Spirit Breaking Pill will have no effect on Nangong Yunshao's residual soul condition."
Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng and the father-son duo Nangong Lie frowned.
"You haven't taken the Spirit Breaking Pill yourself, so how can you know it has no effect?" Nangong Huo retorted.
Ye Kunlun scoffed, "Not only will the Spirit Breaking Pill have no effect on Nangong Yunshao, but it will also lead to her demise."
"Stop spewing nonsense! There's no way we'll beg you!" Nangong Huo exclaimed angrily.
"Heh heh," Ye Kunlun laughed, "I am merely offering my sincere advice."
With that, Ye Kunlun left.
After Ye Kunlun's departure, Nangong Lie said coldly, "This brat is indeed arrogant. However— what do you think of his words,楼主 Gu?"
Ye Kunlun's words were alarming, but it concerned his granddaughter's life. Nangong Lie dared not take the risk.
Gu Changsheng pondered, "Whether the Spirit Breaking Pill can cure Yunshao, I am not entirely sure myself. How about this: let Yu Buyu examine it before we decide!"
Nangong Lie nodded, "Very well!"
Backstage at the Purple Smoke Tower.
"Congratulations, Patriarch Nangong, on acquiring the Spirit Breaking Pill," Luo Yi said with a smile, handing the pill to Nangong Lie.
Nangong Lie gave a faint hum, showing little joy. Instead, he asked, "Third Master, where did this Spirit Breaking Pill come from?"
"Patriarch Nangong puts me in a difficult position. You know the rules of the Purple Smoke Tower," Luo Yi smiled.
Nangong Lie was not angered. He nodded and replied, "I was just asking casually, out of curiosity!"
Luo Yi smiled, "Patriarch Nangong, please keep it safe. Once you leave the Purple Smoke Tower, we are no longer responsible."
"Rest assured, if anyone foolishly tries to snatch the Spirit Breaking Pill from the Nangong family, they will be testing their luck with their lives."
With that, Nangong Lie pocketed the Spirit Breaking Pill and left the Purple Smoke Tower.
Gu Changsheng was by Nangong Lie's side, and besides him, several other Nangong family experts were hidden in the shadows.
The seven great families of the capital were not called that for nothing!
If anyone were to snatch something from the seven great families in the capital, it would be tantamount to slapping their faces.
"Patriarch Nangong, rest assured. These shadowy figures who dare to act foolishly will have the desire but not the courage!" Gu Changsheng said, accompanying Nangong Lie.
As soon as he finished speaking, several figures attacked Nangong Lie.
Unfortunately, before they could get within ten meters of Nangong Lie, they became cold corpses.
At that moment, a flash of red and green streaked past.
Gu Changsheng's vision blurred. Before he could react, he heard Nangong Lie exclaim, "Not good, the Spirit Breaking Pill is gone!"
Gu Changsheng's expression turned grim. He instantly captured the aura of the fleeting figure and roared, "You dare to employ such despicable tactics in front of me!"
As he spoke, Gu Changsheng moved to pursue.
However, the moment he took a step, the scene before him changed drastically. A thick fog enveloped everything!
"Illusion array, it's a trap!"
Gu Changsheng's aura erupted, shattering the illusion array. Yet, he had lost the trail of the person.
Gu Changsheng's eyes flashed with a dark radiance, revealing Tai Chi. An old man, dressed like a peacock, appeared in his vision.
"You cannot escape!"
Killing intent flashed across Gu Changsheng's face as he moved to pursue.
In no time, Gu Changsheng caught up and unleashed a palm strike, its force like a dragon, hitting the old man directly in the back.
*Pfft—*
The old man coughed up blood and darted into a nearby park.
"Hand over the Spirit Breaking Pill, and I will spare your life!"
Gu Changsheng stared coldly at the old man dressed in a gaudy robe. He remembered that the old man had bid one hundred and fifty billion.
The old man suddenly laughed, revealing a set of perfectly aligned white teeth.
Gu Changsheng's eyelids twitched as he felt a sense of danger.
The next second, he felt a sharp sting in his chest, his face changing drastically.
"Not good, I've been poisoned!"
