Chapter 588: Fearless

“How can you prove that you represent all of the other sects?” Nie Tian asked with a calm expression. “If you want the sects from the Realm of Flame Heaven to set up defenses on the frontline, you’ll have to obtain written agreement from all of the other sects, at the very least. If you’ve got none of that, don’t you imagine that the sects from the Realm of Flame Heaven will listen to you!”

Ji Qingyun burst into a flaming rage. “Shut up! How dare you, a Greater Heaven stage junior, question me!? One more word, and I’ll give you something to remember!”

Chang Sen, Li Jing, and the other sectmasters felt rather helpless as they watched Ji Qingyun ranting arrogantly.

They also wondered whether Ji Qingyun just represented the Heaven Expanse Sect, or all the other sects as well.

Since they didn’t have a single Soul realm expert in the Realm of Flame Heaven, they hadn’t even been invited to attend those important meetings.

Ji Qingyun was only at the middle Profound realm, which was not enough to make them hesitate over confronting him.

However, they were apprehensive because they assumed that he now represented the Heaven Expanse Sect and the other powerful sects.

They were afraid that if they stood up against him, they would anger those Soul realm experts, who could wipe all of their sects out effortlessly.

This was why they had chosen to bear Ji Qingyun’s provocative language so far.

Now, Nie Tian had showed up, and the questions he asked were exactly the ones they had meant to ask, but didn’t dare to.

Nie Tian shot Ji Qingyun a gaze out of the corner of his eyes and asked casually, “So do you mean that you’re going to discipline me yourself?”

Ji Qingyun grew increasingly furious now that Nie Tian had suddenly appeared and interfered with his plan to bring those from the Realm of Flame Heaven to his heel. Seeing that Nie Tian actually dared to provoke him, he waved his hand and shouted angrily, “You don’t deserve to be disciplined by me personally! Yu Wei! Go teach him a lesson!”

Yu Wei was the only female disciple standing behind Ji Qingyun. She was at the late Greater Heaven stage, while the other three male disciples were at the Worldly realm.

In Ji Qingyun’s eyes, Yu Wei was more than enough to give Nie Tian some serious injuries, and by not having a Worldly realm disciple do it, he wouldn’t be accused of bullying the weak.

Dressed in a long, white dress, Yu Wei was rather tall and slender. A hint of arrogance could be seen on her gracefully beautiful face. It seemed that she had long since found Nie Tian an eyesore, so upon hearing Ji Qingyun’s order, she instantly stepped forward.

Chang Sen, Li Jing, and the other experts from the Realm of Flame Heaven exchanged awkward glances.

Since none of them knew who Nie Tian was, they were all hesitant, unsure of what to do.

While they were pondering whether to put a stop to this, Yu Wei launched a lightning-quick, murderous attack.

She summoned a jade ruler into her hand as she jumped into the air and rapidly fell towards Nie Tian.

A spiritual fish could be seen swimming around in the cyan jade ruler, and as it did, the jade ruler was quickly wreathed in a cyan, watery mist.

Afterwards, drops of cyan water formed around the jade ruler before they rained down on Nie Tian at full speed.

As insignificant as the raindrops seemed, they were actually as heavy as mountains. Anyone weaker than Nie Tian would have been forced to kneel and beg for mercy.

A faint, disdainful smile appeared at the corner of Yu Wei’s mouth as she saw that Nie Tian didn’t move a bit when the cyan raindrops fell heavily on his shoulders.

Then, she swished the jade ruler down towards Nie Tian’s right shoulder with a force so great that it seemed that she was hoping to crush his shoulder with this single strike.

Nie Tian let out a cold harrumph, and still didn’t move in the slightest, like a sharp sword that had been plunged deep into the ground. Only when the jade ruler came close enough did he summon his strength and meet it with his clenched fist.

Yu Wei was taken aback. “H-he can still move his arm!?”

BOOM!

Mountain-shattering force burst forth from Nie Tian’s fist as he slammed it into the incoming cyan jade ruler. Like small snakes, wisps of crimson, green, and white aura instantly drilled into the jade ruler.

The hand Yu Wei used to hold that ruler instantly became badly mangled, blood spilling from it continuously.

Gasping with astonishment, she hastily jumped backwards, holding her hand. Her eyes were filled with fear as she struggled to summon her spiritual power to neutralize the powers that had been sent into her hand. “Who are you?!”

Ji Qingyun’s eyes were very wide as he sprang to his feet and shouted furiously, “How dare you?!”

Just as he was going to strike Nie Tian himself, a voice echoed out from just outside the courtyard. “Wait, Elder Ji!”

In the next moment, a thin little man with a small beard walked through the courtyard gate.

Full of smiles, he bowed towards the experts present. His manners made him seem like a businessman.
