Chapter 1245 - 1238: Should Be Stronger Than the Young Sect Leader
Inside the Piaoling Palace hall, there was a moment of silence due to the sudden eruption of the thin elder's aura.
"Middle Stage Immortal Venerable Realm?"
Qin Yang's eyes slightly narrowed; this thin elder's aura was at the Middle Stage Immortal Venerable Realm.
This thin elder was a strong presence at the Middle Stage Immortal Venerable Realm, so the silent fat elder must be similarly powerful.
The strength of the Thousand Talisman Sect was indeed extraordinary, as even the accompanying members were two Middle Stage Immortal Venerable Realm powerhouses.
Zhao Tai's pupils also shrank a bit, but there wasn't much fear shown on his face. His old eyes unyieldingly stared at the thin elder.
At this moment, on the main stage, Chu Yueyan, Vice Palace Master Ling Bo, and others all wore somewhat grim expressions. After all, this was the hall of Piaoling Palace.
"If this Elder wishes to fight within our Piaoling Palace hall, Fairy Yanyun is willing to accompany."
Fairy Yanyun's eyes fluctuated slightly as she stood up, directly confronting the thin elder, her voice ethereal and misty.
The thin elder's keen eyes swept towards Fairy Yanyun.
"Elder Fu Kun, this is Piaoling Palace; do not be rude. Step down at once!"
Seeing this, Ding Hualing looked at the thin elder, her voice sinking as she shouted.
"Yes, Young Sect Leader."
Upon hearing this, the thin elder's face darkened slightly, nodded, and then stood behind Ding Hualing.
"Palace Master Chu, Sister Yanyun, my apologies. Elder Fu Kun was somewhat overexcited just now."
Ding Hualing revealed a gentle smile, apologizing.
However, the thoughts deep within his faintly gleaming eyes weren't entirely in line with his words.
In reality, if he wanted to stop the thin elder, he could have done so at the start of the elder's questioning.
The reason he didn't was partly to use this opportunity to exert some pressure on Piaoling Palace.
However, what he didn't expect was for this little lord of Wind Ridge Town to dare to stand out.
Moreover, it seemed as if his words didn't regard the Thousand Talisman Sect highly.
"Young Sect Leader Ding was too polite."
Upon hearing Ding Hualing's apology, Chu Yueyan's beautiful eyes flashed as she shook her head, speaking. Evidently, Piaoling Palace did not wish to completely sever ties with the Thousand Talisman Sect.
Upon hearing this, Ding Hualing gently nodded and then shifted his gaze to Fairy Yanyun, his mouth curling into a warm smile.
"Sister Yanyun, it was a bit abrupt of Hualing to extend the invitation. The island will be open in half a month's time, and the situation on the island is unclear. Perhaps we'll reconsider then."
Ding Hualing smiled as he spoke.
Upon hearing this, Fairy Yanyun's clear eyes remained calm, nodding slightly before sitting down.
As Fairy Yanyun sat down, Ding Hualing's handsome face, still carrying a smile, turned to focus on Qin Yang, his starry eyes carrying a hint of scrutiny.
A small town lord who recently gained some fame, considering his status as Young Sect Leader, wasn't yet worthy of much attention. If he truly stepped out of line, a Venerable Level powerhouse from within the sect would handle it.
However, today, this kid was indeed a bit annoying. And it seemed he had been getting rather close to Fairy Yanyun.
A few months ago, Ding Hualing had seen Fairy Yanyun once in the Royal Capital.
This woman's temperament was ethereal, almost divine, with her face veiled, yet her faintly visible features suggested unparalleled beauty.
Moreover, it was said she possessed a rare pure yin/Water Element physique.
This physique was perfect for dual cultivation partners, greatly enhancing cultivation prowess.
Thus, Ding Hualing had already viewed her as untouchable, allowing no one to meddle.
Originally, he had hoped to win her heart with his charm as the Young Sect Leader of the Thousand Talisman Sect, making future enjoyment more thrilling.
But now, it seemed an eyesore had appeared before him.
Perhaps it was time to handle it in front of everyone in Piaoling Palace, especially before Fairy Yanyun.
Otherwise, some people clearly didn't know their place.
"Friend Qin, I heard you once set up a grand array outside Wind Ridge Town with people from the Bai Family of Celestial Cyan City, slaying four Immortal Venerable Realm experts from the Blood Evil Sect. Your accomplishments in the Array Dao must be extraordinary."
Ding Hualing smiled, his gaze fixed on Qin Yang as he spoke.
"Hmm, not weak."
Qin Yang chuckled.
Although Ding Hualing's face held a smile, Qin Yang still captured the coldness deep in his eyes.
As Qin Yang leisurely sipped his tea, he similarly scrutinized Ding Hualing, smiling as he added.
"Well, I believe I might be quite a bit stronger than Young Sect Leader Ding."
Qin Yang said with a playful smile, considering it better to actively confront rather than wait passively.
The simple words drew the gaze of everyone present towards Qin Yang.
On the main stage, Chu Yueyan's eyes flashed with a touch of surprise. In his view, the Wind Ridge Town lord wasn't the reckless type.
Considering he had just helped resolve tension with Fairy Yanyun, this was already his second verbal conflict with the Thousand Talisman Sect. Was he truly unafraid of them?
Upon hearing Qin Yang's calm words, Ding Hualing's smile slightly halted, a hint of gloom flickering across his eyes.
His planned intrigue hadn't even begun when this kid unexpectedly provoked him.
"Hehe, our Thousand Talisman Sect prioritizes Talisman Dao, and although I dabble in Array Dao, I'm no match for Friend Qin, which is quite normal."
Ding Hualing chuckled lightly, responding with apparent grace.
However, the coldness deep within his eyes was not as carefree as his surface demeanor.
"Hmph, the Young Sect Leader excels in Talisman Dao, a prodigy by nature, a realm a small-town lord like you cannot comprehend."
Behind Ding Hualing, Elder Fu Kun coldly glanced at Qin Yang, speaking frostily.
In the past, even large city lords dared not speak to the Thousand Talisman Sect's Young Sect Leader in such a manner; this small-town lord certainly didn't know his limits.
"Elder Fu Kun, no need for more words."
Ding Hualing waved his hand, smiling as he spoke.
"Since Friend Qin possesses deep mastery in Array Dao, I'd very much like to see the magnificence of your array setups. Would Friend Qin be interested in sparring for a bit?"
Ding Hualing focused on Qin Yang, his smile as refreshing as a spring breeze, as if merely suggesting a simple spar between two friends.
"I'm game."
Qin Yang's eyes flickered as he smiled and nodded.
"Hehe, our Thousand Talisman Sect is skilled in Talisman Dao, so matching Friend Qin's Array Dao should be quite a spectacle."
Seeing Qin Yang agree, Ding Hualing slightly nodded, a barely noticeable sneer crossing his lips before his gaze shifted to Chu Yueyan on the main stage.
"Palace Master Chu, might we borrow your Martial Arts Arena?"
Ding Hualing asked Chu Yueyan, smiling as he looked at her.
"You may."
Chu Yueyan glanced at Qin Yang and Ding Hualing. Since both parties agreed, she couldn't really say more, so she nodded under everyone's gaze.
