Chapter 13

"Stop it." Nie Qian glared at him, "We have things to do, don't waste time on people you hate, let's go."

As she spoke, she tugged Nie Tian harder, trying to take him away from the entrance of Lingbao Pavilion as quickly as possible.

"Why so anxious? We haven't seen each other in a long time, what's wrong with catching up a bit?" Yuan Qiuying's smiling face clearly carried a hint of malice, "Is this the fatherless Nie Tian? Hehe, wasn't it said that he was almost dead recently? How pitiful, a child without parents, living is just a joke."

"Old woman, you were born by your parents, but they didn't raise you!" Nie Tian wrinkled his nose and snorted, "Only those shameless women would force themselves onto a man even when they know he has a wife!"

"Brat! Who taught you that? How dare you insult me?" Yuan Qiuying flew into a rage.

Nie Tian's words had hit her sore spot. Over the years, she hated it the most when people said such things to her.

She knew herself that taking Yun Zhiguo from Nie Qian was not a glorious deed.

Many people in Heiyun City would criticize her when they mentioned this matter, and she was well aware of it.

But because she came from the powerful Yuan family, no one dared to say it to her face.

She originally just wanted to humiliate Nie Qian, but Nie Tian's sarcasm instantly ignited the anger in her heart, making her lose control.

"I'm just stating the facts, everyone knows what you did. What, you dare to do it but afraid of others talking about it?" Nie Tian snorted, "Afraid of being talked about, yet still shamelessly snatch other people's men? Do you know shame? Do you have any face?"

"Xiao Tian!" Nie Qian said anxiously.

What Nie Tian said was also what she had always wanted to say. Although she felt secretly satisfied, she knew Yuan Qiuying's character and was worried that Yuan Qiuying would act rashly in public.

"Fatherless and motherless brat! I'll teach you how to behave today!"

Yuan Qiuying's eyes burned with anger, and her left hand suddenly lifted. A series of light purple spiritual energy ripples immediately spread from her palm.

"Qiuying! This is the entrance of Lingbao Pavilion, don't stoop to the level of a child, it will only make you look foolish!" Yun Zhiguo hurriedly stopped her.

At this moment, many people entering and exiting Lingbao Pavilion felt the tension and slowly stopped, watching with interest the conflict about to erupt.

"Heh, it's the Nie family and the Yun family."

"There's a show to watch!"

"That woman from the Yun family is still as arrogant as ever!"

"Her father is the head of the Yuan family in Hanshi City, she has the capital to be arrogant in our Heiyun City."

"Alas, the Nie family is really unlucky, to provoke this fierce woman from the Yuan family. Because of her, Nie Donghai was not only severely injured but also lost his position as the head of the family recently, truly pitiful."

"..."

The people of Heiyun City who had stopped to watch kept a distance from Yuan Qiuying and Nie Qian, and began to whisper among themselves.

In the crowd, a little girl with a delicate and beautiful face was held by a middle-aged man with a square face, also looking curiously.

The little girl was about the same age as Nie Tian, wearing a light yellow dress, with many silver bracelets on her wrists, her bright eyes twinkling with mischief.

"Uncle Lan, what's going on over there?" The little girl asked, munching on sunflower seeds with interest.

The middle-aged man with a square face looked at the aggressive Yuan Qiuying, frowned slightly, and explained in a low voice, as if he knew the details.

"How can that woman from the Yuan family be so arrogant after snatching someone else's man?" The little girl was surprised.

"It's because she is a Yuan, the daughter of Yuan Fengchun from Hanshi City." The man sighed, "In theory, the Nie family is under our protection, and Nie Donghai has been diligent these years. This matter is not the fault of the Nie family, and we should have stepped in to uphold justice, but..." The man shook his head, his eyes filled with regret.

"Shouldn't we protect those who depend on us?" The little girl said indignantly.

"Nie Donghai's second daughter is called Nie Jin. If she were still alive, she would be your senior. She, like you, had extremely outstanding cultivation talent and was treated as a 'seed' by the sect. A large amount of cultivation resources were invested in her, and the sect had high hopes for her."

The man's expression turned gloomy, "But she... in her best years, did something terribly wrong. She had a child for a man we still don't know, and she passed away soon after. The heavenly materials and treasures the sect invested in her were all wasted, and many people within the sect blamed Nie Donghai for failing to raise his daughter properly, feeling dissatisfied."

"The Yuan family and the Yun family are also well aware of this, knowing that we have lost our favor for Nie Donghai."

"Because of this, Yuan Fengchun and Yun Meng dared to act recklessly."

"That's why, after that incident, those who once had high hopes for Nie Jin and invested heavily in her, all stood by and watched." The man explained softly, clarifying the reasons.

After listening, the little girl looked at Nie Qian and Nie Tian from a distance and muttered, "This family is really unlucky."

At this moment.

Yuan Qiuying, who had been stopped by Yun Zhiguo, also noticed the crowd gathering around. She suppressed her anger, glanced coldly at Nie Tian, and suddenly said, "Fine! I won't bully a child because of my status!"

"Yun Song!" She called out, looking down at her son and ordered, "Go! Help your mother teach that little bastard a lesson!"

Yun Song, who had long been annoyed by Nie Tian, immediately rushed out like a leopard without a word.

"Yun Zhiguo's son, I heard he broke through to the seventh level of Qi Condensation three months ago. Nie Tian... after the high fever, he also advanced to the fourth level of Qi Condensation. But even so, the gap between the seventh and fourth levels is too great, this is clearly bullying!"

"That woman has always been bullying others, what's the big deal?"

"You're right."

The crowd murmured, but because they feared the power of the Yuan family and Yuan Qiuying's ferocity, no one dared to stand up and speak out for justice.

"Nie Tian! Don't fight him, let's go!" Nie Qian was anxious.

Not long ago, the battle between Nie Tian and Nie Hong still haunted her. After that battle, although Nie Tian won, he had a high fever that night. If it weren't for Hua Mu passing by Heiyun City, Nie Tian might have been in trouble.

Now, Hua Mu had already left Heiyun City, and it was hard to find him. If Nie Tian fell ill again, who could save him?

But just as she shouted to stop him, Nie Tian had already forcefully pulled away from her and charged at Yun Song without regard for his own safety.

"Brave," the middle-aged man with a square face in the crowd said softly, his eyes showing a strange light, "Unfortunately, the gap in cultivation realms is too great, bravery alone is far from enough."

The little girl beside him, who seemed to have a natural love for fighting, immediately became excited when she saw Nie Tian and Yun Song clash, cheering loudly.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Balls of flame shot out from Yun Song's fists, like burning rocks, smashing towards Nie Tian who was charging forward.

Before Yun Song's fists reached him, the flames had already flown towards Nie Tian!

Seventh level of Qi Condensation, spiritual energy leaving the body!

This was a higher level of spiritual energy control than the sixth level, where spiritual energy overflowed.

At the sixth level, the spiritual energy from the dantian could only flow to the surface of the body, but it couldn't completely leave the body, only swirling around the arms and fists.

When spiritual energy separated from the body and flew out of the fists to directly attack the enemy, it was the seventh level of spiritual energy leaving the body!

The power at this level was much stronger and more terrifying than the lightning-infused fists Nie Hong had shown that day!

"Poof! Poof! Poof!"

Balls of orange-red flames hit Nie Tian's head and back.

Nie Tian's clothes and hair were instantly set on fire, flames burning and trying to penetrate his flesh, causing him to cry out in pain.

Before Yun Song's fists truly arrived, he hurriedly fell to the ground and rolled to extinguish the flames on his body and hair.

When he stood up again, his back was full of black holes, and his hair was smoking, looking very pitiful.

"Ha ha ha!"

Seeing his pitiful state, Yun Song didn't rush to attack but laughed loudly.

He planned to thoroughly humiliate Nie Tian.
