His current true cultivation was Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, but the mask displayed his cultivation as Ninth Level of Qi Condensation, so Qian Duoduo felt no psychological pressure fighting against a Ba Ling Sect Disciple at the Ninth Level of Qi Condensation.
Outside, a middle-aged man held Ming Huanhuan in his hand and stepped on Guan Tusheng.
The middle-aged man's robe was embroidered with a red sword, and his face had dozens of pits of varying sizes.
"Release them and come at me!"
Qian Duoduo immediately saw that this middle-aged man was at the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage and was a practitioner of The Righteous Foundation Establishment.
However, his face was unfamiliar; he wasn't a Ba Ling Sect Disciple who went to the Ghost Head Secret Realm.
"Are you their Senior Brother?"
The middle-aged man casually tossed Ming Huanhuan aside and kicked Guan Tusheng.
"That's right. May I ask what Senior Brother wishes to discuss?"
Qian Duoduo bowed to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man snorted, "Who gave you the audacity to dare to seize my Immortal Cave?"
"Seize Senior Brother's Immortal Cave? We did not."
"You didn't? Then that's my Immortal Cave."
The middle-aged man pointed at the courtyard.
"Is this courtyard Senior Brother's? We checked, and there was no one there."
Qian Duoduo replied frankly.
After reaching Foundation Establishment, one becomes a Protector in the Ba Ling Sect. Protectors reside in a higher area of Nose Peak.
"No one doesn't mean it's without an owner."
The middle-aged man strode to the courtyard gate and pointed at the lintel, "Look, my name."
Qian Duoduo leaned closer; two lightly etched characters were carved there—Wu Liao.
"Senior Brother Wu!" Qian Duoduo cupped his fist towards him. "Ignorance is no sin."
Wu Liao smiled faintly, "Did you go inside just now?"
He was looking for trouble!
Qian Duoduo also smiled, "I did."
"How do you think it was inside?"
Wu Liao began to stretch his wrists.
"Not good at all. It smelled inside."
Wu Liao was taken aback, "What kind of smell?"
"The smell of poverty."
"A young one from the Upper Road actually despises my Ba Ling Sect for being poor?"
Wu Liao began to curse.
"No. My Ba Ling Sect is a land of outstanding people and spiritual energy, extremely wealthy and noble. It's just that this courtyard is poor and needs a new owner to make it rich."
Qian Duoduo pointed his thumb at himself, "The new owner is me, Qian Duoduo! The wealthy and noble Qian Duoduo!"
"Our Great Master!" Ming Huanhuan shouted from afar.
Guan Tusheng quickly dragged him a bit further away.
"Alright. You little brat has guts! A one-on-one fight?"
Wu Liao raised his chin.
"Quick! Let's start! Didn't you pave the way for this?"
"You occupied my Immortal Cave first and challenged me, so I'm just accepting the challenge."
Wu Liao was well aware of the sect's rules. He had no right to challenge Qian Duoduo, but if Qian Duoduo challenged him, he could accept.
To teach Qian Duoduo a lesson under the guise of accepting a challenge, that was his true objective.
He just didn't know if this Wu Liao was sent by Zeng Zifang or Zhao Yanran.
"Right. I challenge you."
Qian Duoduo shouted to Guan Tusheng, "Record the entire battle process and keep it for the sect."
Wu Liao smiled even more broadly, "Qian Duoduo, you should be called Qian Daduan."
"You should be called Wu Liao (Truly Boring)." Qian Duoduo condensed a Soul Blade and held it in his right hand.
Wu Liao's smile vanished, "The last person who mocked my name died a long time ago."
"What, you miss him? I'll send you on your way."
Qian Duoduo pointed the tip of his Soul Blade at Wu Liao.
Wu Liao could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and pulled out a long spear, thrusting it towards Qian Duoduo.
"Buzz!"
The spearhead shot out a scorching crimson flame, condensing into a flying spear that pierced towards Qian Duoduo.
Before Qian Duoduo could dodge the first spear, Wu Liao thrust three more times consecutively, and three fiery snakes intertwined in the air, forming a net that blocked Qian Duoduo's retreat path.
"Hmph, ignorant one, let me show you that the difference between Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment is like heaven and earth!"
Wu Liao held his long spear and swept it close to Qian Duoduo's knees.
His offensive was astonishing, making Guan Tusheng and Ming Huanhuan, who were in the distance, freeze in shock, not daring to make a sound.
Could this brand-new Great Master withstand a beating?
