Don't you dare Hou Shangwu !

There was an eerie silence that came over the crowd, that was surrounding the Martial Arts stage area.

The wind blew lightly and all everyone could hear were some leaves blowing in the wind.

It was so quiet that even if someone dropped a basket it would have made enough sound for everyone to hear.

Now after a minute passed all you could hear now, was the slow and deeps breaths that came out of Hou Shangwu's mouth as he now sounded like a bull taking deep breaths before it charged.

Everyone was now on their toes sort of now, you could hear Hou Shangwu's breathing as he exhaled and inhaled deeply.

Shangwu was now grabbing his sword handle so hard that veins were showing on his hands and forehead as he was starting to get angrier and angrier, it was now apparent to the people still awake and conscious, that was still around.

That the fight they were still watching was about to hit another whole level very soon.

It was so serious that even people at the very bottom of the pyramid, that were barely considered cultivators could feel it in their body. There was this ominous feeling washing over all of them and the feeling was just starting to get worse and worse as the near-silence went on.

There was now an almost complete silence that washed over White Crane City, that even the birds and the surrounding environment died off as if the planet itself could predict what was going to happen next and in preparation told everything that was living to come to a complete stop.

In preparation for what was to come, even if you were a complete bystander and had just walked into White Crane City and didn't know what was going on. Within the first 10 seconds, you would have been able to understand something was about to happen.

The current situation was about to go from a small-scale serious fight to a small and dangerous battle. It had gotten to the point that, it had even started to draw the attention away from Qiang Shizi and his fight with Tian Tomi.

(Crap Hou Shangwu is gonna make a move against Bai Jian, shit I need to get over there now!)

Qiang Shizi took a pill out of his space ring and popped it into his mouth. He then performed a couple of mirage steps causing Tian Tomi to lose sight of him.

After Tian Tomi lost sight of Qiang Shizi and saw him disappear, he create a couple of mirages with his movement Technique due to the speed that Qiang Shizi was now moving at to try and see if he could catch up even at the cost of using up more Qi than necessary.

Tian Tomi had now known that Qiang Shizi was leaving the fight, as he saw Qiang Shizi try to run towards Bai Jian and Hou Shangwu.

----------------------------------------------

Back towards Hou Shangwu and Bai Jian-

"Hahaha, you stupid brat, take this!"

[ Gorilla Monarch of Fire ]

- 5th Move

"A Gorilla's Blazing Strike of Rage"

"Bastard Stop!" - Qiang Shizi

[ The Command Of Light & Darkness ]

- 3rd Move

" The Cry of leadership "

"Oh no you don't, Our fight has just started!" - Tian Tomi

Tian Tomi was now starting to chase Qiang Shizi faster and faster, behind Qiang Shiz.

Tian Tomi went to reach and grab for Qiang Shizi's back so to stop him from leaving their match. As Tian Tomi was finally having fun against him as it was the first real fight he's had since reaching his current Ranking within the Huo Sect.

So he wanted to stop him, so the easiest way for him was to grab him from leaving as he was finally having fun for the first time in years, of pointless fights since joining the Huo Sect.

All of a sudden everyone on Jade Island, Huo Continent, and the people on the Shuilong Continent, the closest continent near the Huo Continent could feel all the hairs on their bodies stand up.

----------------------------------------------

On Huo Continent

There was a Manor on top of a mountain, it was called ( Majestic Zi ) it was located north of the Divine Huo Kindom and northeast of the Graceful Gale Kingdom and the Divine Wind Kingdom.

The manor was so much larger and taller than other buildings that it made all of the other buildings within this estate look insignificant and meaningless, that it looked like it put there to challenge the clouds and the sky above.

The mountain was so majestic and mysterious, that people who lived near the mountain always wondered why the mountain had such a strange air about it.

The many rumors about the mountain were still based on true and actual stories that when it was retold over and over again.

The stories changed so much that they got out of hand, that what people know about the mountain today was mainly because of all the crazy stories that the locals made up and told about to the visitors to the towns or cities near the mountain.

The rumors were so crazy that it drove a lot of cultivators to climb the mountain in search of a way to ascended to the next Realm and Martial Artists to become Cultivators. But if you asked any one of the locals the same question about it, you'd get a different answer each time.

The answers were so much different from each other that it created legends about the mountain. of course, no one really believed most of the rumors about the mountain.

Even then, when they would put the ideas they had about the mountain, they would put it in the back of their mind, their ideas would always come back to them and make them wonder even more about the large and mysterious Zi Mountain. It looked so tall and imposing that it looked like it could just get up and attack the clouds at any second.

Its tallest peak was hidden by purple clouds that had blue and violet lighting dancing around within the clouds all year long, which stopped most people from climbing it and trying to ascend to the main peak of the mountain.

It was so tall in fact that you could see the edges of the Huo Continent if it was a really nice and sunny day out, you'd be able to see Jade Island if you were really lucky.

The mountain was famous for drawing crowds of Artists every fall season for the tourists and the scenery. They would set up easels and work in front of large crowds as they painted and drawn the awe-inspiring mountain.

One of the mountain's most famous rumors was that it possesses a large Dragon Spirit Vein, beneath it as the legends speak of a fire Dragon passing away of old age, as they say, it didn't pass its tribulation while trying to ascend to the Profound Realm.

If they were to sit upon this majestic mountain and gaze out upon the sky from here, they could see the stars at night and see the endless like hills and mountains and land from afar. If someone came here during the day they would see a gorgeous and majestic manor surrounded by a lake surrounded by an almost endless Garden with a hidden maze.

The scene here could only be described as beautiful and elegant if someone came here that had never been there before. Entered this place without the owner's permission, they've would have been put under an illusion and been stuck there staring at the name of the manor's title sign forever.

Even though, it was completely quiet and looked like no one was home. It was an immaculate Estate, it looked perfectly maintained and kept up with, there was nothing that looked out of place or out of wack that didn't match.

The entire place looked like it belonged together, priceless things adorned the walls and tables possessed priceless herbs and flowers as table centerpieces. There were even things that couldn't have a price put on them were place out like they were just like everyday normal items.

The only thing was that the manor within the estate was empty. There was only one person with this manor and this person was a middle-aged man levitating on top of a purple sash seat cushion within the back of his manor's courtyard where a cave was.

At the entrance of the cave, wast two huge 30-meter tall doors made of casted Black Iron adorned with the image of a dragon on them facing each other, with Dragon Cave etched into the middle of the doors.

It was a simple cave in modest terms, the floor was made out of black marble in a tile pattern, then there was a stone house in the back of the cave that looked like it was sculpted out of the walls.

There were 4 rooms with the small house, a kitchen, library, bedroom and a room for blacksmithing adored with candles everywhere, in the center of the cave was a short column with a wooden block that had an incense stick lit, the stick was at the end of its use as the incense stick had less than 10cm left on it.

The cave had holes and cracks everywhere within the training plaza in front of the small house. If a stranger saw what was inside of the cave and saw what it looked like, they would probably think a small Meteor shower hit the inside of the cave with debits and holes everywhere.

If you looked carefully, you could see the outline of a titanic size palm print on the wall of the cave to the left of the cave entrance.

The old man was starting to disengage his mind from his training and his breathing started to loosen once again as his heart rate started to rise again. A small stream of smoke started to exit from his mouth every time he exhaled now.

He opened his eyes slowly within the dimly lit cave as he opened his eyes, his violet eyes shined with an electric vibe to them.

He grinned like a villain, with the eyes of a charming angel, in the outfit of a noble wearing a golden hairpin made for an emperor.

" Hahaha, I can't believe it ... I did it, I actually finished it and there were no mistakes.

He was wearing a Dark purple silk robe with a white sash tied with a golden rope draped across his waist and a dark purple dragon surrounded by fire in a circle on the back of his robe and on the left side of his chest on his robe.

His hair was a dark grey almost black tied together in a hair tie pinned with his hairpin, with a light grey beard and two gold earrings in both of his ears. The man had been in seclusion for over 2000 years.

Suddenly he stopped grinning and his eyebrows began to frown.

He paused slightly then he stood up quickly and rushed towards the entrance of his cave and pushed the doors open.

Without sensing anything he raised up into the sky above his estate and looked to his left out towards the ocean. He didn't know why, but he felt this gut-wrenching Pressure hit his body and soul as if it was a warning as to what was to come.

He stopped thinking and decided to fly towards the ocean, the feeling got stronger and stronger the further he got near the ocean.

He didn't know it yet, but it was his instincts pointing him towards Jade Island.

Immediately from the point of origin that was White Crane City an invisible wave of Qi energy and Killing intent, could be felt by everyone, started to radiate from Jade Island.

Everyone's body's started sweating profusely and everyone's head's felt like they got a little dizzy and everyone's breathing stopped for a second then it got a lot harder to breathe after as pressure so great that it could be felt weighing down on everyone's soul.

The Old man with the Dark Purple Robes started to fly faster and faster towards Jade Island.

"What is it, what's coming from that direction?" - Old Man in Purple

----------------------------------------------

Jade Island - Bai Clan's Martial Arts Arena

A couple of Milla seconds after the first instance of pressure everyone felt on his soul.

Hou Shangwu started to make a move towards Bai Jian, as he made another move towards Bai Jian, he looked towards his left.

Hou Shangwu saw a form of Blood colored Qi rise up from Qiang Shizi's body like an eruption of a Volcano.

While Tian Tomi was following Qiang Shizi, it was like a smack to his face or being thrown water on his face after a night of drinking and being woken up from a night of stupidity.

He saw Qi rise up from Qiang Shizi's Body that it woke him up from complete stupidity that he started to notice that all of the hair on the back of his neck were standing up and goosebumps started to pop up on his arms.

It was like when someone activates their Qi at full power, he started to stare at this man's back in awe and terror.

Then his world was turned upsidedown as he heard a roar so loud, it sounded like the cry of an angry volcano that was awakened from a deep sleep or a God that was so angry that the only way to let loose was to erupt like an explosion in a fit of an unstoppable bloodcurdling cry of Rage!

"Don't you dare Hou Shangwu"

"Touch him and you die!" - Qiang Shizi
