I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

This angry shout stopped the disciples watching the commotion on the flying boat, as well as both sides involved in the fight.

Following the sound, a handsome young man with a cold expression strode out.

"Who is this person, daring to interfere in Senior Brother Ji's affairs!"

"The cave gates are open; he is the master of this sacred mountain."

"It's the newly arrived true disciple, Shen Ming."

Everyone could understand why Shen Ming acted this way. Out of nowhere, a group of people barged into his house, started fighting without saying a word, and destroyed all the furniture.

Even a clay idol has three parts fire!

On the ground, the two sides that were fighting stopped.

One side consisted of three people, all of whom were close disciples of a certain person.

"Senior brother, we were just helping Senior Brother Ji capture the person, so we apologize for any inconvenience."

The tall young man at the head of the group said this, without any apology on his face and with an arrogant look in his eyes, as if he were just giving a briefing.

Shen Ming remained silent, looking at the inner sect disciple they were ganging up on.

"It's you?" Shen Ming recognized him as Gu Qing, an inner disciple of Tongtian Peak.

Shen Ming didn't have a deep impression of him, only knowing that the other party and Fang Qingxue were inseparable.

At this moment, Gu Qing looked very disheveled. He was equally surprised to see Shen Ming and felt even more uneasy.

“Senior brother, do you know him? He barged into Purple Lightning Peak without reporting and angered Senior Brother Ji. You'd better not meddle in this.” The tall young man said.

"What do you think he did?" Shen Ming asked coldly.

"He angered Senior Brother Ji..."

"No, the sentence before that."

"Entering Zidian Peak without prior notification."

“Repeat it.”

"Entering without prior notice..."

The tall young man realized what had happened; they too had entered Shen Mingling Mountain without prior notice and had even attacked him.

This is indeed an offense, but the problem is, they are representing Senior Brother Ji.

“You’re determined to meddle in other people’s business…” the tall young man decided to put pressure on him.

Without saying a word, Shen Ming threw a punch, the force of which reverberated within a radius of several meters.

The tall young man, at the first level of the Innate Realm, was no match for this punch.

As if a cannonball had hit a wall, the tall young man's body shattered, and he fell heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"This is the consequence of trespassing on my Xiaoyao Peak without prior notice," Shen Ming said.

If a person is not ruthless, he cannot stand firm.

In a world where might makes right, the strongest is the only true measure of power.

He didn't care who Senior Brother Ji was or what grudges they might have.

This punch demonstrated his assertive attitude.

Clearly, the effect was remarkable, surprising everyone.

A flying boat quietly departed to deliver a message to Zidian Peak.

"Now, let's talk about what happened."

Shen Mingzhen stopped the three from Zidian Peak, stood with his hands behind his back, and gestured for Gu Qing to speak.

Only at this point, when we start to distinguish right from wrong, can we avoid appearing weak.

Gu Qing hadn't expected this, but then he realized that he hadn't had any conflict with Shen Ming.

In fact, neither of them said a word to each other.

Overwhelmed with sadness, Gu Qing broke down and recounted the whole story.

It turns out that Gu Qingxin was unwilling to accept the separation from Fang Qingxue last time.

I heard someone say that Fang Qingxue and Senior Brother Ji from Zidian Peak are getting close.

Enraged, Gu Qing entered the inner realm without obtaining an entry pass.

It just so happens that Senior Brother Ji from Zidian Peak is a lively person who often organizes gatherings.

Gu Qing sneaked into the gathering and saw Fang Qingxue and Senior Brother Ji behaving intimately, sitting in the main seat.

Gu Qing is a ruthless person; he jumped out and angrily denounced Fang Qingxue as a heartless and ungrateful woman.

Facing Senior Brother Ji, whose cultivation level was higher than his own, Gu Qing made a three-year agreement to fight to the death.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ming's expression became somewhat subtle; it seemed he had taken over the protagonist's script.

Senior Brother Ji doesn't play by the rules. "Three years? I'll break your legs right now!"

Seeing that things were going badly, Gu Qing immediately boarded a flying boat and fled.

Senior Brother Ji did not pursue them personally, but sent out his personal disciples from Zidian Peak.

In his panic, Gu Qing lost his way and his flying boat crashed onto Xiaoyao Peak. His personal disciples followed closely behind, and the two sides engaged in a fierce battle.

Shen Ming came out of seclusion and happened to witness this scene.

"He violated the rules of the sect, and it is his fault both morally and logically."

Upon seeing that Shen Ming understood the whole story, another disciple from Zidian Peak couldn't help but speak up.

If Shen Ming was unaware of the situation just now, he should start to think things through now.

"Did I let you speak?!"

Shen Ming punched the man again, knocking him to the ground. He and the tall young man fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

The remaining disciples who were standing met Shen Ming's gaze, and they shuddered, retreating one after another, and very sensibly covering their mouths with their hands.

"I'll take you to the Hall of Rewards and Punishments," Shen Ming said to Gu Qing.

Gu Qing had no objections; this was better than falling into the hands of Zidian Peak.

"late!"

A special flying boat streaked across the sky like a dazzling star.

Unlike common flying boats, this vessel's keel is crafted from precious purple-gold wood, and its deck is paved with flawless white jade, smooth as a mirror and spotless.

A robust young man stood on it, his clothes embroidered with the Ji family crest.

The emblem is circular, with a phoenix spreading its wings as if about to take flight in the very center. Its feathers are as black as ink and shimmer with a metallic luster.

Ji Tian, ​​the heir of the Ji family!

The flying boat did not linger in the sky, but landed directly on Xiaoyao Peak.

Ji Tian leaped into the air and arrived at Shen Ming's side in an instant.

The two close disciples, who were rolling on the ground and howling, forced themselves to stand up despite the pain.

Ji Tian snorted coldly, his eyes like knives, slashing at Shen Ming.

“I know you, Shen Ming, the top disciple this time,” Ji Tian said.

Fang Qingxue walked over from the direction of the flying boat; it was she who told Ji Tian about Shen Ming's background.

“I’m good friends with your senior brother from Shuiyue Cave. I’ll give him face and not hold it against you, as long as you hand over the person,” Ji Tian said.

"What mistake did Gu Qing make?" Shen Ming asked.

The tall young man felt that the question sounded familiar.

“He trespassed on my Purple Lightning Peak…” Ji Tian said.

Having learned from past mistakes, the tall young man immediately whispered something in his ear.

Ji Tian knew the purpose of Shen Ming's question. "Are you arrogant because of your talent? Do you think you can be fearless just because you have talent? Let me tell you, I was number one in last year's selection of true disciples!"

Do you know how long it took me to break through to the second stage of the Innate Realm and become a true disciple?!

"how long?"

"Three months!"

Ji Tian stood with his hands behind his back, chin raised high.

The intention was to tell Shen Ming that he might be outstanding among the inner disciples.

However, the true disciples in the inner realm are not worth mentioning.

“Three months is a good time, you don’t need to feel inferior,” Shen Ming said.

"???"

Everyone nearly strained their backs and looked over in disbelief.

Shen Ming was taken aback. Wasn't that what he meant?

He became a true disciple less than a month ago, and in terms of actual cultivation time, it was less than seven days.

Hearing Ji Tian recount his breakthrough in three months with such dramatic intonation, I thought he was talking about how difficult and hard-working he was.
