Seeing that his guess had come true, Lin Yitang also adopted a fighting stance, solemnly sizing up the burly men who had formed a circle around him.

She observed carefully and found that although these people's cultivation levels varied, most were in the late stage of Qi Refining, with the highest being no more than the tenth level of Qi Refining. The one who truly posed a threat to her was Senior Brother Si, who was in the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

Logically speaking, a newly promoted Foundation Establishment disciple would have a hard time dealing with this group of people. After all, a newly promoted early Foundation Establishment disciple is already unlikely to defeat someone who has been promoted for a long time, not to mention that the new disciple lacks combat experience.

Moreover, this group worked together seamlessly and had a large number of members. The dozen or so Qi Refining experts were equivalent to three or four Foundation Establishment cultivators. How could a disciple who had just entered the Foundation Establishment stage possibly defeat them?

If it were an ordinary early-stage Foundation Establishment disciple, they would probably have already given up and dared not accept the challenge. After all, no one wants to do something as futile as throwing an egg against a rock.

But the person standing here now is Lin Yitang, and she is not like ordinary disciples.

She wants to make these people with ill intentions pay the price.

"Very well, you shameless bastards, how dare you plot against the disciples of my Taique Sect. Today, I will show you the strength of my Taique Sect." Lin Yitang sneered.

Her voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly, startling everyone present.

The burly men around Lin Yitang were all taken aback when they heard her words.

They had naturally heard of the Tai Que Sect. One of the three major sects in the cultivation world, its strength was astonishing. If they were to truly provoke the Tai Que Sect, they would likely all suffer the consequences.

For a moment, the atmosphere at the scene became somewhat heavy.

However, greed soon clouded their judgment.

"So what if it's the Taique Sect? Do you think the elders of the Taique Sect would go to such lengths for a mere disciple like you?"

A burly man grinned maliciously as he approached Lin Yitang.

"That's right! Little girl, don't try to scare us. Just come with us and we'll take good care of you."

Another burly man grinned lewdly, his gaze sweeping over Lin Yitang with unbridled lewdness.

Seeing that these people still didn't know what was good for them, Lin Yitang stopped giving them a friendly look.

Her gaze swept over everyone like ice, and she said indifferently, "Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being impolite."

The burly men all felt that she was too arrogant, and with a roar, they rushed towards Lin Yitang.

The leader was the tallest of the group, shirtless, with a ferocious expression. He held a huge machete, its blade flashing, aimed directly at Lin Yitang's throat.

The other person moved nimbly, flashing like a ghost, attempting to ambush Lin Yitang from behind.

Others clenched their fists, bringing with them a powerful gust of wind, intending to smash Lin Yitang into a pulp.

However, just as they were about to touch Lin Yitang, Lin Yitang flashed and disappeared in front of them.

The burly men were wondering where the female cultivator had gone when they heard Lin Yitang's voice behind them: "Here she is."

As soon as they turned their heads, they saw a huge fire phoenix appear out of thin air in Lin Yitang's hand, and the flames engulfed them. Screams, the smell of burning, and charred corpses littered the scene.

In just a short while, only Senior Brother Si, who was in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, remained standing on the field.

He looked at the corpses scattered on the ground, his face turned pale with fright, his legs went weak, and he trembled uncontrollably.

Senior Brother Si was filled with shock and fear. He couldn't believe that this seemingly weak female cultivator possessed such terrifying strength.

With a single strike, more than a dozen burly men at the late stage of Qi Refining were reduced to ashes, without even a chance to resist. Among them were several experts at the tenth level of Qi Refining, all of whom were considered top figures in their respective cultivation cities, yet they were utterly powerless against Lin Yitang.

How is this possible? The gap between the early Foundation Establishment stage and the late Qi Refining stage is not small, but it shouldn't be this huge!

Moreover, Lin Yitang has only recently established his foundation; how could he possibly possess such formidable strength?

Could it be that she has some hidden trump card? Or is she not an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator at all?

Countless guesses flashed through Senior Brother Si's mind, but no matter which one it was, it filled him with immense fear.

He knew he had messed with the wrong person this time. If he couldn't get rid of Lin Yitang as soon as possible, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, Lin Yitang frowned slightly as she looked at the only standing senior brother Si in front of her, and her tone was tinged with regret: "Alas, it seems that I am still too weak. I thought I could wipe out the whole area in one blow, but I didn't expect that this guy would still escape."

She walked slowly toward Senior Brother Si, each step seemingly touching his heart.

Senior Brother Si sat on the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably, his face filled with fear.

He tried to escape, but found himself powerless. The terrifying fire phoenix had caused him some internal injuries, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up.

"Don't come here!"

Senior Brother Si forced himself to remain calm, but his voice trembled uncontrollably. He knew that the seemingly frail female cultivator before him possessed unfathomable strength. If he truly angered her, he might not even know how he died.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yitang smiled and said, "Don't come any closer? You're scared now? I told you long ago not to mess with the disciples of my Taique Sect. It's a pity you just wouldn't listen."

She walked up to Senior Brother Si, looking down at him with a hint of mockery in her eyes: "Weren't you so arrogant just now? Bullying a new cultivator and even planning to commit violence, why are you like a stray dog ​​now? Could it be that you only dare to deceive the weak, and you cower when you kick a hornet's nest?"

"Don't come any closer! Please, don't kill me!" Senior Brother Si cried out.

Lin Yitang ignored him, grabbed Senior Brother Si by the collar, and lifted him up.

"You've done so many heinous things, you can't just let it go like this. I want you to truly lead the way and take me to the good caves and secret realms around here. If you dare to try anything again, you should know the consequences!"

Upon hearing this, Senior Brother Si trembled, and a fine layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

He closed his eyes and said in a trembling voice, "I...I promise you. I'll do anything you ask, as long as you don't kill me."

"I know a few good training grounds nearby, I can take you there!"

"This cultivation city is roughly located on the edge of the central region. There are three most famous places: the Crimson Flame Cave, the ancient fire cultivator's cave, the perilous Frost Valley, and the Thunder Platform. These three are well-known training grounds in the vicinity. Not only are they rich in resources, but they can also greatly improve the strength of cultivators. The extent of the improvement depends entirely on the cultivator's own aptitude."

"However, with a cultivation level of the early Foundation Establishment stage, these places are all very dangerous, and it is generally not recommended for new disciples to go there for training. If you want to train, it is best to go to ordinary cave dwellings. You might get lucky and find some leftover good things."
