Chapter 74

"Who is Ye Zhong? Get out here!"

A deafening roar suddenly echoed across the entire courtyard. Countless Star Constellation Sect disciples, who were in the midst of cultivation, were jolted awake. After a moment of stunned silence, they quickly reacted, rushing to the high points of their respective courtyards. Many of them cast their gazes toward the courtyard where the incident had occurred, their eyes filled with a strange expression.

This revenge, it seemed, was not as swift as they had imagined.

"Hmm?"

Ye Zhong, who was cultivating the Crimson Sky Star Constellation Finger, suddenly frowned slightly. He changed his hand seal and then stood up, walking to the edge of the pavilion and looking out toward the courtyard.

At this moment, outside the courtyard where Ye Zhong was cultivating, stood a young man with silver hair, his face filled with a sinister expression as he stared in this direction. When he saw Ye Zhong's figure appear, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold, indifferent voice echoed in the air.

"Are you Ye Zhong? Very well, taking action against my subordinates while I was away, you have some nerve!"

Ye Zhong's gaze fell upon this person, and after a moment, his eyes narrowed slightly. His voice was indifferent as he replied, "And who are you?"

The silver-haired young man's eyes darkened instantly upon hearing Ye Zhong's words, a hint of sinister intent appearing in his eyes. "What a reckless fellow, even at this moment, you still plan to act ignorant?"

"Could you be the so-called backing of that useless Lu Fan?" Ye Zhong stared at him, a cold glint appearing in his eyes. "It seems you are prepared to exchange spirit points for those spirit point cards. If that's the case, I welcome it."

"Ye Zhong, you overestimate yourself. Don't think that just because you got a small advantage in the Innate Sacred Hall, you can act recklessly in the Star Constellation Sect! You are still too young! If you obediently return the spirit points today, it will be fine. Otherwise, the humiliation you inflicted on my subordinates will have to be repaid in full." The silver-haired man sneered.

"Is that so?" Ye Zhong's eyes also turned cold. "But I'm afraid you don't have the ability!"

"What!?" The silver-haired man was slightly taken aback, but then he burst into laughter. "Boy, you seem extremely confident! Did you hear that? This guy, ranked 108th among the inner disciples, really thinks he's something! You probably don't even know who I am, do you?"

"Boy, today I'll let you die knowing. I am Luo Long!"

"Luo Long!?" Ye Zhong frowned slightly, then shrugged. He really didn't know who this seemingly important person was.

"Ye Zhong, this guy is likely Luo Long, ranked fourth among the top ten outer disciples!" Wang Mo, who had also been jolted awake from his cultivation, came to the base of Ye Zhong's pavilion, his face grim. "Moreover, it's said that each of the top five outer disciples has strength comparable to that of inner disciples. However, it's also said that the top five positions come with many benefits, so these people have never competed for the position of inner disciples."

"Fourth among the outer disciples, Luo Long."

Ye Zhong nodded, then his eyes narrowed slightly, a half-smile on his face. "Just a useless person who isn't even an inner disciple? If you had real ability, you would have become an inner disciple long ago. Claiming to be the fourth among the outer disciples and thinking you're invincible is rather pitiful and childish."

Luo Long's face turned cold instantly upon hearing Ye Zhong's words. His expression was filled with boundless coldness as he stared at Ye Zhong and said slowly, "Good! Boy, you're quite something! I was originally prepared to let you off, but since you're seeking death, don't blame me! If you have the guts, don't hide in the courtyard, come out!"

"Talking so much, isn't it because you're afraid of breaking the Star Constellation Sect's rules? It seems even if you achieve something in the future, it will be limited!" Ye Zhong shook his head, a mocking look in his eyes. "I was originally planning to deal with you later, but since you've come to me today, let me ask one more thing. Are you prepared with enough spirit points!?"

Ye Zhong's words clearly hit Luo Long's sore spot, making his pupils constrict and his face contort in a fierce manner. "Boy! You're asking for it!"

"Do you really have the ability?" Ye Zhong smiled faintly, then took a step forward, his figure landing on the ground. He slowly walked out of the courtyard where he was cultivating, his indifferent gaze fixed on Luo Long. "Make your move. If you want to reclaim your dignity from me, you'll have to put in all your effort. Otherwise, it won't be easy to regain the dignity you've lost."

Luo Long's eyes became as sharp as a blade, staring at Ye Zhong, who walked out calmly without the fear he had expected. His face was extremely dark! He had come today to seek revenge, not for this.

What he wanted to see was Ye Zhong kneeling and begging for mercy, regretting having provoked him!

"That's Luo Long, ranked fourth among the top ten outer disciples?"

"He doesn't seem that impressive, does he?"

"It's said that the top five outer disciples receive a large amount of spirit points each year, even more than inner disciples. Because of this, the top five outer disciples are all quite powerful!"

"Lu Fan's boldness in the Star Constellation Sect, and the fact that no one has troubled him, is probably due to Luo Long's influence, right?"

"However, this Ye Zhong is no ordinary person. Have you heard about him these past few days? After Song Shaochen and Rong Tian returned from the inner disciples, they all showed great respect for him. It's said that they suffered quite a bit in the Innate Sacred Hall."

"But this is the Star Constellation Sect, not the Innate Sacred Hall. This is Luo Long's home turf—"

Amidst the chaotic discussions, Luo Long's face was filled with a sinister expression. "Boy, since you're seeking death, I won't hold back. Inner disciples, thinking they're so great, how naive—"

As he spoke, Luo Long took a step forward, and a thin layer of white mist rose from his body. His meridians faintly appeared, as if gently wriggling, looking extremely strange.

At the same time, an extremely terrifying aura spread from his body, causing the faces of the many disciples who had gathered to watch to change slightly!

Luo Long's strength was likely much stronger than Lu Fan's, probably at the fifth level of Body Tempering. He was only a step away from the sixth level of Body Tempering!

Such strength was not easily matched even by inner disciples like Su Yu and Song Shaochen, no wonder he was so confident!

At this moment, many people's gazes involuntarily fell on Ye Zhong. However, even at this moment, Ye Zhong's face remained calm, showing no reaction to the strength Luo Long had displayed.

Perhaps only Su Yu, who was present, knew that Ye Zhong was not calm, but rather, he didn't really take such strength seriously.

"Boy, even if you kneel and beg for mercy now, it's too late!"

Luo Long's eyes were cold, and his indifferent voice echoed. Then, his figure shot forward, his hands instantly forming fists, carrying an extremely terrifying force, and struck toward Ye Zhong like lightning.

Ye Zhong, seeing this terrifying attack, narrowed his eyes slightly. In the next instant, he bent his right finger and quickly pointed out, the finger wind sharp like a sword, extremely fierce.

"Thud—"

The two extremely terrifying attacks collided fiercely, the low, heavy sound of the collision instantly spreading out, and both figures retreated almost simultaneously.

Luo Long, seeing this, narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Boom—"

A blurred figure quickly darted out, and in the next moment, it appeared beside Luo Long. Four overlapping Asura Sword Seals, radiating an extremely powerful spirit energy, enveloped Luo Long.

When Ye Zhong, at the fifth level of Body Tempering, used the Asura Sword Seals, even just four of them, the force was enough to make Luo Long's face turn extremely serious.

Clearly, he had instantly discerned Ye Zhong's strength, likely having just entered the fifth level of Body Tempering. Moreover, the attack spirit technique he was cultivating was quite powerful!

"Silver Spear Finger!"

Luo Long's figure remained still, and in the next moment, his right hand's two fingers joined together. A stream of light enveloped his fingertips, and with a swift strike, a series of silver lights instantly tore through the air, colliding fiercely with Ye Zhong's Asura Sword Seals.

"Thud—"

The two extremely fierce attacks collided head-on, and in an instant, visible waves spread out, causing the ground at the point of collision to crack slightly.

"Get out of here!"

This stalemate made Luo Long dissatisfied. His eyes darkened, and his internal blood energy burst forth. In an instant, a spear shadow condensed at his fingertips, and with a flash of silver light, it finally tore apart the Asura Sword Seal in Ye Zhong's palm.

"Whoosh—"

However, the moment the Asura Sword Seal was broken, Ye Zhong's figure trembled and directly cut into Luo Long's side. With a whistling sound, his fist shadow mercilessly enveloped Luo Long's vital points.

"Bang, bang, bang—"

Faced with Ye Zhong's sudden, fierce attack, Luo Long sneered, his right hand forming a point, and the fierce finger wind blocked all of Ye Zhong's attacks.
