“Wuxin Peak is part of Qingmi Mountain. No one can stand above the rules that all peaks must follow.” The enforcement elder stared at Ye Chu. He had heard that Wuxin Peak had brought outsiders up the mountain. This was a good opportunity. Perhaps the shame left by Yong Peak could finally be washed away this time.
“I advise you to leave this place. Wuxin Peak has never liked others meddling. Wuxin Peak has its own rules. Keep your rules to yourselves.” Ye Chu had Ruoshui’s jade pendant and was not afraid the old madman would refuse to let Bai Xuan stay. So he was not intimidated by these people.
“Insolent!” The enforcement elder shouted, his voice stern and imposing. Terrifying pressure surged outward, instantly making the surrounding atmosphere oppressive. “Drive out the outsiders you brought right now. Perhaps it is not too late. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences yourself.”
The enforcement elder fixed his sharp gaze on Ye Chu, his eyes filled with killing intent. He wanted to act against Ye Chu. Wuxin Peak had a few lunatics, and those lunatics were not someone an outer enforcement elder like him could provoke. But Wuxin Peak also had two weaklings who had been brought up recently.
The sickly girl naturally did not need mentioning. As for this boy brought up three years ago, back then he had no strength at all, frail to the point of seeming like trash. Even if he had achieved something now, they could still handle him.
Many peaks were happy to see Wuxin Peak tripped up because they disliked its independent and aloof attitude. Wuxin Peak never followed the rules set by the peak masters of Qingmi Mountain.
Yet strangely, the three highest authorities hidden behind Qingmi Mountain tacitly allowed it. This made the other peaks even more displeased. They thought: If Wuxin Peak, ranked last, can act like this, why must the peaks ranked above it still follow the rules strictly? What kind of logic is that?
In their eyes, Wuxin Peak was the most decrepit peak. The entire peak had fewer than ten people, yet they occupied an entire peak head. This made many jealous. After all, resources for each peak head were limited. If they could seize Wuxin Peak, it would be equivalent to having the resources of two peaks, allowing them to leave other peaks far behind.
So many peak disciples harboured deep resentment toward Wuxin Peak. But what puzzled them was that their own peak masters sometimes ordered them not to provoke Wuxin Peak.
Of course, there were ways around the rules. For example, right now the enforcement elder was determined to use Ye Chu bringing outsiders into the mountain as an excuse. This was enough to give him grounds to cause trouble for Ye Chu.
Ye Chu saw several people glaring at him, demanding he drive Bai Xuan away. He did not even glance at them and stepped toward the outside.
“Today, if you do not give an explanation, do you think you can just leave?” The enforcement elder shouted. Terrifying pressure surged, shaking the air with vast might. It pressed down on Ye Chu, giving him immense pressure.
Ye Chu suddenly turned to look at the enforcement elder, shocked by the other’s strength. Yong Peak had actually sent a great cultivator just to give Wuxin Peak trouble.
Though Ye Chu had made great progress over the years, his cultivation time was still too short. He was not on the same level as a great cultivator at all. Reaching the great realm meant a complete transformation. Such figures could be considered notable even on Qingmi Mountain.
Ye Chu took a deep breath and looked at the other party. “You really think highly of me. To send an enforcement elder who is a great cultivator just to teach me a lesson.”
“Since you know you are no match, drive those women out of Qingmi Mountain.” The enforcement elder stared at Ye Chu, still pressuring him.
Ye Chu laughed. “But you seem to have forgotten where you are. This is Wuxin Peak. Wuxin Peak has its rules. Those who are not from Wuxin Peak, if they enter, at best lose a hand, at worst lose their life. It seems you have lived long enough.”
“Do not try to scare us! Wuxin Peak ranks last among the one hundred and eight peaks, far below Yong Peak. Though we do not know why the peak masters forbid us from occupying this peak, if Yong Peak wants to destroy you, it would be effortless!” The enforcement elder had absolute confidence in Yong Peak. Though Yong Peak was not the strongest among the one hundred and eight peaks, it ranked within the top fifty. It was extremely terrifying, with powerhouses as numerous as clouds. Dealing with a Wuxin Peak that had only a handful of people was nothing.
As long as the peak master gave the order, they could seize this peak in no time.
Ye Chu smiled, offered no explanation, ignored the other party, and turned to walk back.
“Stand still!” Seeing Ye Chu truly disregard him, the enforcement elder finally flew into a rage. He shouted, transformed his hand into a palm, and pushed toward Ye Chu with vast power.
Ye Chu had not expected the other party to dare act here. His expression changed. All his power surged. He unleashed “Draw Ground as Prison,” layers of force stacking to block.
“Pfft…”
A great cultivator was ultimately far stronger than Ye Chu. At this moment, Ye Chu was no match. One strike sent blood spraying from the corner of his mouth. His entire body flew backward. He staggered, barely managing to steady himself.
His internal blood and qi roiled violently. More blood surged from his mouth.
“Hm… I did not expect you to have some strength!” The enforcement elder was somewhat surprised. He had thought that palm would leave Ye Chu unable to get up. Yet Ye Chu still stood firm.
The power of that palm earlier could injure even a Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator.
“I underestimated you. That was just a small lesson. If you still refuse to see reason, the next strike will not be so light.” The enforcement elder looked at Ye Chu, a cold smile on his lips.
Ye Chu stared coldly at the other party, showing no weakness because of those words.
“Stubborn and unrepentant!”
Just as the enforcement elder prepared to strike Ye Chu again, a cough sounded. Uncle Wang appeared at some point. “It seems you have forgotten Wuxin Peak’s rules. Daring to injure someone on Wuxin Peak. Today, you will all leave behind a leg.”
The enforcement elder knew Uncle Wang and knew he was the only male servant on Wuxin Peak. He snorted and cursed, “Old man, if you do not want to die, get lost!”
Uncle Wang laughed. His originally hunched body suddenly erupted with terrifying momentum. “It has been a long time since someone cursed me. It has also been a long time since I last fought. My hands are a bit rusty. But breaking the limbs of a few brats like you is still no problem.”
As Uncle Wang spoke, his figure somehow appeared beside the enforcement elder and the others. He kicked out one foot after another. Ye Chu clearly heard the sound of bones shattering. The enforcement elder and the others looked terrified, their faces filled with fear. They had come because they knew Jin Wawa was not here, another lunatic was in seclusion, and Ouyi never cared about external matters. They had dared come to Wuxin Peak. Yet they never imagined even a servant would be so terrifying.
Listening to the continuous screams, watching Uncle Wang toss them out like trash one by one, Ye Chu stared blankly at Uncle Wang. He had once seen Uncle Wang prune plants with astonishing speed and knew he was no ordinary old servant. But he had never imagined Uncle Wang was this terrifying. Even a great cultivator was utterly helpless in his hands!
Wuxin Peak truly had no simple characters. Uncle Wang was clearly someone with a story!
Ye Chu muttered to himself. Having seen so much on Wuxin Peak, he was already used to such things. After calming his roiling blood and qi, he thanked Uncle Wang. “Thank you, Uncle Wang!”
Uncle Wang shook his head. “I am old! I cannot fight like I used to. Even Third Young Master makes these old bones ache. Fourth Young Master, you must work hard too. On Wuxin Peak, only you and Xi Xi still lack real power.”
Hearing Uncle Wang’s words, Ye Chu helplessly shrugged. “Some things cannot be compared. I cannot learn their kind of madness.”
Uncle Wang glanced at Ye Chu, smiled, and said nothing. He thought to himself: You call them lunatics, but others call you a lunatic too. On Wuxin Peak, those accepted as disciples by him—how could they enter his eyes if they were not lunatics?
