"Uncle Master Su originally just wanted to suppress his arrogance, who would have thought he was so powerful! If we had known earlier, we wouldn't have provoked him at all." Yan Chengzhi said with a mournful face, filled with utter regret in his heart.

"You, you!" Yan Ziyi pointed at his grandson, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke to Su Boli, whose face was dark and ugly, "Since Zhu Dongyu and Lv Xinghai both know that Ge Dongxu, why not ask them to come over and inquire about the situation? What do you think, Sect Leader Su?"

"If we do that, wouldn't it just give them a chance to laugh at us?" Su Boli immediately shook his head and rejected the idea without a second thought.

The Santai Sect was one of the top Qimen sects in Dongyue Province, and the fact that the Young Sect Master of the Santai Sect had been placed under a prohibition by a young man was already embarrassing enough. Now that he, as the Sect Leader, could not remove the prohibition, Su Boli really had no face to ask Zhu Dongyu and Lv Xinghai to come and inquire about the situation.

"Exactly, even if we are to call them, it should only be after Grandfather comes tomorrow to help me remove the prohibition. Then we can call them over along with that Ge Dongxu and properly teach him a lesson in front of everyone!" Su Jieliang said through gritted teeth.

Seeing that both Su Boli and his son disagreed, Yan Ziyi had no choice but to nod and say, "Since that's the case, let's wait for Senior Su to come before discussing further. It's just that the two of you might have to endure some hardship tonight."

"It doesn't matter, isn't it just being unable to move?" Su Jieliang said nonchalantly, yet a hint of hatred shone in his eyes.

Yan Chengzhi certainly didn't have Su Jieliang's laissez-faire attitude and was instead full of dejection, deeply regretting why he had foolishly agreed to join Su Jieliang in teaching Ge Dongxu a lesson, even though he knew well enough how formidable Ge Dongxu was. Now, rather than teaching the man a lesson, he had turned himself into a living corpse.

…

"This, Senior, are you really planning to leave those two guys standing outside for the entire night?" Along a mountain path on Mount Santai, Lv Chongliang and others were touring the scenery with Ge Dongxu and cautiously asked.

"He attacked me, and I'm punishing them by having them stand for a night. That's fair, isn't it? What's wrong with that?" Ge Dongxu said as if it were a matter of course.

"It was they who provoked and attacked first, so of course, there's nothing unfair. On the contrary, Senior, you're letting them off easy by not beating them until they spit blood. It's just that, Su Jieliang is after all the Young Sect Master of the Santai Sect, and his grandfather is a true hermit and a powerful figure in Dongyue Province. My grandfather told me his mana is incredibly strong; once he uses his techniques, he can condense a tangible Flying Sword out of Geng Metal energy that can decapitate a person within ten zhang. It's truly frightening." Lv Chongliang replied, revealing a look of reverence and yearning when speaking about Su Jieliang's grandfather.

"Able to decapitate within ten zhang, that is somewhat impressive." Ge Dongxu nodded after hearing this.

"Please, Senior, that's not 'somewhat impressive', it's very impressive, okay? Think about it, with a flick of the finger, a Flying Sword shoots out, and a person's head falls to the ground!" Lv Chongliang said, widening his eyes.

"Yes, exactly, just thinking about such ability makes one's hair stand on end." Liu Hong and others also nodded vigorously in agreement.

"Alright, it may sound a bit terrifying to think about. But really, it's just that, not like he can send a sword flying out to take a person's head from a hundred miles away as easily as reaching into a bag—that would be truly terrifying. Just ten zhang is all, how far is ten zhang? Just keep your distance and you won't have any troubles, right?" Ge Dongxu said with a dismissive laugh.

In fact, that was indeed the case.

Such abilities may seem mystical, but if one were to use them to kill unexpectedly, they could indeed be terrifying. However, with the advancement of firearms nowadays, such abilities still cannot contend with bullets and armies. At most, they are like what his senior brother did back then, ambushing in the forest and managing to kill more enemies than usual.

Nonetheless, Ge Dongxu's senior brother, Yang Yinhou, was adept in Wood System Techniques, which made him as comfortable as a fish in water in the forest. That's why, with his Qi Cultivation at the Fifth Layer, he was able to ambush and single-handedly kill two fully organized Japanese squads, totaling one hundred and twenty-four people, in one brilliant feat. If it were Su Jieliang's grandfather, he probably wouldn't have been able to do it.

Of course, if it had been the era of cold weapons, the same Qi Cultivation at the Fifth Layer might mean Su Jieliang's grandfather would kill even more than Yang Yinhou.

"Senior, our Qimen Combat Spells are not a military shooting competition, who would stand so far away from each other during a battle?" Lv Chongliang said with a wry smile.

"So what?" Ge Dongxu countered.

"Senior, how can you not understand? Su Jieliang is the precious son that the Sect Leader of Santai Sect had in his later years and is a cultivation genius. Su Jieliang's grandfather is extremely fond of his grandson. If he knew you made his grandson stand outside for most of the afternoon and a whole night, he would certainly come to settle accounts with you!" Seeing that Ge Dongxu did not grasp the subtext of his words, Lv Chongliang had to spell it out directly.

"Yes, yes, senior. The old ginger is spicier after all. Even though you are formidable, senior, Su Jieliang's grandfather is basically an old monster of the Qimen. It's not worth the trouble to go against him head-on. How about we let Su Jieliang off the hook? As for Yan Chengzhi, if you still feel upset about it, make him stand for the whole night. With your strength and having Elder Zhu and Elder Lv on your side, I bet Yan Chengzhi's grandfather wouldn't dare to do much," Liu Hong advised alongside.

"Thank you for your kind intentions, but if I really did as you say, wouldn't that make me a person who bullies the weak and fears the strong? Besides, since I've already said that they must stand for the night, then stand they must! Even if Su Jieliang's grandfather came, it would be the same. Others may fear him, but I certainly do not!" Ge Dongxu understood the kind intentions of Lv Chongliang and the others, but he, as the honorable Sect Leader and a senior consultant for the Special Ability Management Bureau, could hardly swallow his pride and take an attack from the Young Sect Master of Santai Sect lying down.

Liu Hong and the others exchanged glances, and after a long while, they looked at each other and helplessly shook their heads behind Ge Dongxu's back.

Since Ge Dongxu was a senior and was adamant despite their advice, Liu Hong and the others naturally had no way to sway him.

Moreover, in their hearts, they too wanted to teach the arrogant Su Jieliang a harsh lesson!

Mount Santai truly deserved its reputation as the foremost mountain in Dongyue Province.

The mountains undulated, with strange peaks protruding prominently. There were many famous ancient trees in the mountains, lush and verdant, with the occasional sight of mountain springs and waterfalls cascading down, forming streams and brooks at the foot of the mountain. Climbing halfway up the mountain, one is wrapped in mist, unsure whether they were amongst clouds or mountains.

"There lies Santai Peak, where the gates of Santai Sect are located," Lv Chongliang said, pointing at a peak that stood tall in the distance as they reached halfway up the mountain.

That peak joined the one Ge Dongxu was currently on, its cliff rising steeply, regally towering over the other surrounding peaks. Atop that peak, on the edge of a precipice, there was a Taoist temple built half on the mountain and half suspended in the air, an extremely dangerous and magnificent sight.

As the sun set in the west, casting golden light upon the temple, with mists swirling around, the half-suspended Taoist temple seemed to acquire an additional measure of sanctity and solemnity, resembling an Immortal Palace in an Immortal Realm.
