Chen Xiao didn't expect Ye Santong to be so calm. Even when his disciple was bleeding from all seven orifices, he could still remain calm and say that his disciple brought it upon himself.

Chen Xiao smiled faintly and increased the pressure on his finger again.

He wanted to see if Ye Santong was truly calm and open-minded, or just pretending.

The truth proved that Ye Santong was just pretending.

When Chen Xiao's finger pressed into Shi Qi's forehead, Ye Santong couldn't bear it any longer.

"Young man, leave a way out for others. This old man has already given you enough face, why must you press on so relentlessly?"

As he spoke, he slapped Chen Xiao's finger.

In Qi Qingfei and Lin Zicong's eyes, this was just an ordinary slap.

But Chen Xiao could see that the power of this slap could easily split a small mountain.

"Old man, I'm not pressing you relentlessly. I just want you to understand a principle."

Chen Xiao's other hand met Ye Santong's slap head-on. "Talent doesn't mean anything, and it's far from proving the heights one can achieve in the future."

"Before a true god, all beings are equal!"

Clap!

Chen Xiao's palm collided with Ye Santong's, and then, like two magnets attracting each other, they stuck together.

"Young man, I've eaten more salt than you've traveled roads. What makes you think you can educate me? The only reason you can stand in front of me and say this is because you're a person with great fortune. But among all living beings, how many have fortune like yours?"

The moment Ye Santong and Chen Xiao's palms met, their contest began.

Gongsun Yi was shocked. He didn't expect Chen Xiao to be so powerful that he could exchange blows with his teacher.

But at the same time, he smiled bitterly in his heart. Although he had some resentment towards his teacher, he never thought of being his enemy.

"Forget it, since I can't reason with you."

Chen Xiao shook his head. "Then I'll use the facts to tell you that the person you once looked down on and wouldn't accept as a disciple is now my brother, Chen Xiao's brother. His future achievements are beyond the imagination of a frog like you in a well… As for your carefully nurtured beloved disciple, he's not even worth a fart in my eyes, including you!"

As he spoke, a fierce burst of energy erupted from Chen Xiao's palm. Ye Santong was immediately blasted away, staggering backward four steps before barely stabilizing himself.

Although this exchange didn't decide life or death, the difference in strength was already clear!

As for Shi Qi, Chen Xiao removed his finger and kicked him away.

Chen Xiao spared his life, but he crippled his cultivation. From now on, he would be no different from a cripple.

"Today, I'll spare you because of Gongsun's face. If you want revenge, come find me anytime. I'll be happy to oblige!"

Chen Xiao picked off the blood left by Shi Qi from his fingertip and said lightly, "Let's go!"

After saying that, he led Gongsun Yi and the others away.

After confirming that Chen Xiao and the others were far away, Ye Santong could no longer hold on, and a mouthful of dirty blood spurted from his mouth.

His eyes were solemn, and his brows were almost knotted together.

He couldn't understand why there would be such a powerful existence in this secular world.

Could it be that some ancient martial arts sect secretly cultivated a super disciple?

Just as Ye Santong was pondering, a weak voice suddenly came from beside him: "Master, save me, I'm in so much pain…"

The voice came from Shi Qi. Although Chen Xiao spared his life in the end, he was bleeding from all seven orifices, and his forehead was also pressed in by Chen Xiao, so his injuries were very serious.

"Sigh…"

Ye Santong shook his head and sighed. "I suppose this is a karmic debt left by this teacher. Qi'er, don't panic, Master will end your suffering."

After saying that, he slapped Shi Qi's forehead.

With this slap, Shi Qi would no longer be in pain.

Ye Santong said like a hypocrite, "Qi'er, don't blame Master for being cruel, but you have lost all your cultivation. Even if you live, there will only be endless pain in the future!"

…

On the way back, Chen Xiao asked Gongsun Yi, "Brother Gongsun, you won't blame me for treating your former teacher like that, will you?"

Gongsun Yi laughed loudly: "Mr. Chen, what are you talking about? It's not like this is my first day in the martial world. Whoever has the bigger fist has the right to speak. This is an unbreakable truth. Even if you killed them all, I wouldn't have the slightest resentment… Moreover, if you weren't here this time, I wouldn't dare to speak wildly in front of that kid Shi Qi. I wouldn't do something like an egg hitting a rock."

Gongsun Yi was an experienced veteran, and also a person who had long recognized reality.

Reason is for onlookers to listen to. When a tiger faces a rabbit, its claws and fangs are the greatest reason.

The group returned to the hotel, and nothing happened overnight. The next morning, they set off for Mount Jiuyi.

Along the way, they encountered many martial arts fellows, but most of them were ordinary people. Experts like Luan Fatty and Ye Santong were nowhere to be seen.

After spending half a day, the four finally arrived at the foot of the main peak of Mount Jiuyi.

The Temple of the Gods was built on the summit of Cangwu Peak, the main peak of Mount Jiuyi.

At this moment, Cangwu Peak had already welcomed many guests. Looking at the surrounding sea of people, Chen Xiao couldn't help but be stunned. It was the first time he had seen so many martial artists at the same time.

The crowd was bustling, with as many as several thousand people.

It seemed that the Temple of the Gods had invited more than just the martial artists on the Heaven Ranking. Chen Xiao noticed that some of them were weak, not even as good as Lin Zicong, which made him a little puzzled.

He didn't know according to what the Temple of the Gods issued the invitation letters. If the invitation letters were issued according to strength, then Qi Tianhu had no reason not to receive one, after all, he was also a famous figure on the Gold Ranking.

As for the several thousand people here, there wasn't a single martial artist as powerful as Luan Fatty or Shi Qi.

Moreover, Ye Santong and Xiao Hongchan were not in the crowd either. He didn't know if they had other mountain climbing routes, or if they hadn't arrived yet.

Several thousand people formed several rows of teams, and at the end of the teams, several people wearing black and gold robes were checking invitation letters.

After the guests showed their invitation letters, those people would let them pass.

Gongsun Yi introduced: "Mr. Chen, those people are special envoys of the Temple of the Gods. Don't look down on them just for checking invitation letters, but each of them is unfathomable in strength. This is probably the foundation of the Temple of the Gods."

Chen Xiao nodded slightly. Gongsun Yi was right, the foundation of this Temple of the Gods was indeed very strong.

Those who were sent here to check invitation letters must not have a very high status in the Temple of the Gods.

But the aura on each of them was no weaker than Luan Fatty and the others, and even compared to Shi Qi, they were only slightly inferior.

Xiao Tianze, who was ranked first on the Heaven Ranking and known as the number one person in the martial arts world, was at most only evenly matched in strength compared to these special envoys.
