23 Watching Battle while Eating Peaches

"Where is Aunt Yun? Why doesn't she come now?" Chang Ying asked the disciples who were there. However, they only replied with a shake of their head which made her annoyed.

She immediately approached Elder Ji to ask the same thing. The older man wore a worried expression.

"Don't you know? Vice Sect Master Yun went down the mountain to replace the sect master at the Heavenly Clouds Sect's official meeting," he said.

Yun Mingyue's departure had indeed been scheduled for the past few days. It was just that no one expected this group of intruders to come at a time like this.

"Don't worry. Elder Yan should be able to deal with that person," Elder Ji whispered later.

As Elder Ji thought, Elder Yan was not willing to let Elder Gu lose. Finally, the older man came forward with anger.

"Our sect maybe just a small sect, but don't even think about looking down on us!" Elder Yan shouted.

Once again, the power of spiritual qi spread out. This time it came from the 4th level of the sky realm. It was almost on par with the extremely arrogant group leader of the Scorpion Gang.

When they saw that, the elders immediately retreated creating a wider space around Elder Yan. They felt anticipation, wishing for the overbearing Scorpion Gang to be defeated.

The leader of the Scorpion Gang named Zhang Nancheng snorted at the sight of Elder Yan's strength. He narrowed his eyes coldly. This time he looked more serious than before.

Zhang Nancheng's right hand gripped the hook tightly. His eyes bulged. His red, tousled hair made him look even more violent. "Come on! I wonder how trash your sect is!"

Without further delay Elder Yan acted. His footsteps became like the wind. In an instant, his body had already circled Zhang Nancheng. A sword formed from condensing spiritual qi appeared in his hand.

The sound of swords and hooks clashing was heard. The impact instantly gushed out a destructive force that spread all around. The wind was strong, and the dust was blown away.

The figures of Elder Yan and Zhang Nancheng finally had an intense battle. Their weapons were used as a medium for gathering spiritual qi to destroy each other.

Everyone's attention was drawn to the battle in the sect's courtyard. Unbeknownst to them, a figure dressed in red had opened her eyes in the room. Those eyes carried an aloof cold glint.

Xue Ji stretched her body muscles for a while. Her feelings became more cheerful after successfully refining her dantian as well as breaking through the 1st level of the earth realm. It really was a low level, but it was fun that she had finally managed to start her cultivation again.

Excitedly she stepped out of the room. Being an ordinary human made her feel hungry after days of not eating. She went out of the Bamboo Mansion to look for the sect's main kitchen.

When she had only taken a few steps, Xue Ji heard a commotion from a distance. A smirk immediately appeared on her lips. Who are the people fighting? It wouldn't be fun if she didn't come to watch.

Finally, she ran towards the bustling sect grounds. The sect disciples seemed to have already gathered to watch the fight between Elder Yan and Zhang Nancheng.

Xue Ji didn't want to join the disciples there. Secretly she slipped elsewhere. There is a tall stone monument in the shape of a block at the edge of the courtyard. She jumped up and sat there watching the battle.

The corners of her eyebrows raised when she saw who was having a confrontation. "Are they members of the Scorpion Gang from the Scorpion Valley? It seems that the rotten gang still exists today," Xue Ji muttered.

The sweet smell of ripe peaches suddenly wafted into her nostrils. She turned her head and saw a peach tree by the side of the stone stele. Without hesitation, her hand reached out to reach one of the ripe peaches.

"This is indeed the best place to watch," Xue Ji said as she took a bite of a peach that had been cleaned using her own clothes.

The dense peach blossoms and foliage kept the girl's figure hidden and unattractive. No one paid any attention to her because right now everyone was only focused on Elder Yan and Zhang Nancheng.

The battle between the two men became more and more intense. There were several injuries that Elder Yan had sustained. Even though he had already entered level 4, he had only experienced an increase a few days ago.

In contrast to Zhang Nancheng who was already at the peak of level 4. He had even almost advanced to level 5. That man from the Scorpion Valley was still stronger when compared to Elder Yan.

Elder Yan was pushed by Zhang Nancheng many times. It made people angry as well as worried. There was currently no other elder who was stronger than Elder Yan. If Yun Mingyue had been there, the situation would have been different.

One of the Scorpion Gang members who saw the superiority of their leader immediately sneered, "Just like this is the power of the Luo Mountain Sword Sect? How weak! Our Brother Zhang only needs to snap his fingers and you guys will definitely be crushed!"

"Shut up, you bastard! If our sect master wasn't in closed-door meditation, do you think you guys could be so arrogant?!" The first defeated Elder Gu shouted angrily.

Zhang Nancheng smirked. He said, "But take it easy. I didn't come here to destroy you."

"Even if you want to destroy us, do you think we will let you?!" Chang Ying also shouted.

Zhang Nancheng laughed loudly. However, in an instant, the laughter stopped. The hook weapon in his hand shot out at lightning speed towards Chang Ying and the few disciples around her.

The people who saw it were immediately shocked. Elder Yan was about to stop the latch, but the weapon moved like an extremely fast light.

Whoosh!

The sharp end of the hook scratched Chang Ying's arm. The girl screamed. Her face instantly turned pale white.

"Chang Ying!" Elder Ji rushed over to Chang Ying. He immediately checked the condition of the girl who was now poisoned by the Scorpion Gang's poisonous hook.

Meanwhile, Zhang Nancheng grinned mockingly. He and his comrades immediately withdrew further.

"The ancestor of the Scorpion Gang has already come out of closed-door meditation after hundreds of years. We hereby invite your sect masters to celebrate three days from now," said Zhang Nancheng, finally revealing his true purpose.

"You… what a bastard!" Elder Yan growled as he gritted his teeth.

The Scorpion Gang didn't care about people's anger. They only showed mocking smiles before finally walking away. However, before going any further, another voice sounded from the distance.

"Just leave like that? Hahaha…. It seems that the Rotten Scorpion Gang is becoming more and more arrogant every day."

The voice instantly caught everyone's attention, including Zhang Nancheng and company. They finally saw a figure dressed in red, who was sitting lazily on a stone stele holding a ​​peach.

Zhang Nancheng's brow furrowed deeply. Who was the girl who dared to call them the Rotten Scorpion Gang without looking scared?
