The man originally intended to use the prestige of the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect to suppress Wu Tian.
However, he hadn't expected Wu Tian to be completely unfazed, which made him increasingly fearful.
Seeing that Wu Tian was not joking, he no longer dared to provoke Wu Tian.
He quickly changed his attitude and said, "Wait, wait a moment!"
"I admit, this is indeed my fault, and I am willing to apologize!"
"Let's talk things through properly. It wouldn't be good if someone actually got hurt!"
After speaking, he didn't dare to wait for Wu Tian's reply. He looked at Li Xingyun and trembled, saying:
"Li Xingyun, this is my fault, senior brother didn't do it on purpose. Please forgive me."
As he said this, his heart was filled with humiliation.
After all, he had come to cause trouble for Li Xingyun.
But in the end, he was the one in the weaker position.
Li Xingyun sighed and said, "Senior brother, I know you don't like me, but you don't have to be like this, do you?"
"We are fellow disciples, and Master always told us to be united."
"You're pulling stunts like this today and that tomorrow, aren't you tired?"
"Honestly, even if you don't find it troublesome, I do!"
The man's chest felt blocked with anger, but under Wu Tian's pressure, he dared not speak.
Li Xingyun continued, "Wu Tian, please let them go."
"We brothers are happily drinking, there's no need to ruin our mood over such a small matter."
Seeing that Li Xingyun had said this, Wu Tian naturally had nothing more to say.
With a thought, he immediately released his oppressive aura.
At the same time, the man's legs went weak, and he lost control, collapsing to the ground.
Wu Tian looked at him and said coldly, "Be more careful in the future, and don't do such rubbish again."
"I don't care if you are Li Xingyun's senior brother, nor do I care who your master is."
"But if you dare to come again, I guarantee I'll deal with you."
Although the man was afraid of Wu Tian's strength, he still couldn't swallow his pride.
To lose so much face in front of Li Xingyun today was something he could not accept.
Therefore, he said gloomily, "Your Excellency, I truly cannot do anything to you."
"But even if you want to protect him, you won't be able to protect him during the grand competition."
Wu Tian frowned, "What do you mean?"
The man revealed a sinister smile and said,
"I can't do anything about what happens outside the arena, but you can't interfere with what happens inside, can you?"
"This is, after all, a once-in-a-millennium event for the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect, and no one will allow it to be disrupted."
"When Li Xingyun enters the arena, you will know my capabilities."
Wu Tian became confused and asked Li Xingyun, "Brother Li, what is going on?"
"Didn't you say you weren't participating in the grand competition? Then why are you going on stage to compete?"
Li Xingyun also seemed stunned and said blankly, "Huh? I really don't know about this!"
"If you haven't registered, you don't have to participate in the competition, so how can this matter have anything to do with me?"
The man's smile became even more sinister, saying:
"Who told you you weren't participating in the grand competition? I've already registered you."
"So, you can't escape this grand competition. Just wait to face misfortune in the arena!"
"You, what did you say?!" The man's words greatly surprised Li Xingyun.
He said in disbelief, "No, what are you doing?"
"I have no interest in this competition at all. Why did you register me? I didn't ask you to!"
The man laughed, "It has nothing to do with whether you asked me. I just want you to participate."
"In the arena, fists and feet speak for themselves. Senior brother will take good care of you then."
Wu Tian finally understood. This guy seemed to have some grudge against Li Xingyun.
He was going to great lengths to frame Li Xingyun.
If he really wanted to be unkind to Li Xingyun, then the competition would become a legitimate excuse.
Thinking of this, Wu Tian's eyes became even more somber.
He stared at the man and said, "As long as you dare to mess around, I guarantee that after you leave the arena, you will not have a good time."
The man couldn't help but tremble, but he still forced a smile and said:
"What you're saying now is useless."
"Let's talk about it after the competition!"
After saying that, he was also worried about angering Wu Tian again.
So, without any delay, he quickly fled with everyone.
Looking at their fleeing backs, Wu Tian's expression was somewhat gloomy.
This guy was truly detestable.
Then, he looked at Li Xingyun and said, "Are you alright?"
"Don't worry, with me here, if he really tries to do anything to you at that time, I won't stand by and do nothing."
He said this to relieve some pressure on Li Xingyun.
But to his surprise, Li Xingyun showed no fear at all. Instead, he sighed.
He said in a helpless tone, "Sigh, this guy is truly narrow-minded."
"It's my terrible luck to have such a person as my senior brother!"
Wu Tian asked curiously, "I say, what exactly is the feud between you two?"
"I don't think you're the type to offend people, so why is he treating you like this?"
Li Xingyun said, "What else could it be? He's simply jealous of me!"
"That guy is named Zhang Qi. He reached the Immortal Realm at the age of thirty-two."
"Such speed was considered the fastest among Master's disciples, so he has always been proud of it."
"But later, my cultivation speed became much faster than his, and I became an immortal in my twenties."
"So, he became unbalanced, and that's why he's been opposing me!"
"Originally, I didn't take him seriously, but I didn't expect him to register me directly. How insidious."
"Given his petty nature, it seems that when the actual competition starts."
"If I encounter him, I will definitely suffer."
Hearing Li Xingyun say this, Wu Tian couldn't help but think of Chen Dong.
It seemed that there were truly many jealous people in this world.
But what was the use of jealousy? If someone is better than you, then you should just work harder.
What could playing such low-class tricks achieve in the end?
He said to Li Xingyun, "So that's how it is."
"Then, it seems you have no choice but to participate in this grand competition."
Li Xingyun nodded, "Anyway, once you participate, you can't withdraw, so I can only go."
"However, to avoid encountering him, I'll just lose in the first round."
"It's better to avoid trouble if I really run into him."
