"......................."

Silent. No one's talking. Xika's words sounded very arrogant. Indeed, so far he had already shown how arrogant he was, but his last statement was truly beyond bounds. Tian Yin's? The number one genius of the Lin Dynasty was referred to as a bastard by Xika? Who exactly is this kid?

Did he feel great after defeating the representatives of the big sects so as to feel capable of defeating anyone?

After a moment of silence, the elder from the Sky Devouring Castle spoke again.

"Son, it's too late to retract your words. You are aware that you have made the number one Genius of the Lin Dynasty, even the entire Sky Devouring Castle become your enemy, right?"

"Heh. Why why anyway? Me and Sky Devouring Castle have been enemies for a long time. And, it was still unclear who the number one genius of the Lin Dynasty was." Xika replied still with a cynical smile.

Behind him, Huo Bing nodded while smiling proudly. Xika is already big. She was happy because Xika was no longer afraid of Tian Yin or the problems she faced. In contrast to their first meeting when Xika could only remain silent before Tian Yin.

"..............."

Aware that the youngster in front of him would not take a step back, the elder from the Sky Devouring Castle chose to waste his breath and confer with the representatives of the other big sects. There were actually still two more great sects apart from the Burning Abyss Sect, the Sky Devouring Castle, the Di Clan, and the Immortal Pearl Pavilion, namely the Northern Light Palace and the Divine Array Clan.

However the Divine Array Clan did not participate in the competition this time around whereas the Northern Light Palace, although could not be considered to be on good terms with Xika, but it was also not exactly bad. So when there was a court idea against Xika, they just kept quiet.

For a few moments, the atmosphere was silent again. Han Li made a soundproof room barrier so that their conversation was not heard by other guests. Although not able to hear, but Xika can see that several times the faces of the elders bend bad.

----------------

"We can't just let this kid. Otherwise, the title of the great sect that we have will be of no use." said the elder from the Sky Devouring Castle.

"I agree." replied the elder of the Immortal Pearl Pavillion. "But how can we teach him a lesson? Even if we ask him to fight with one of the elders, his strength will more or less be equal."

"Heh. I have a plan." said Han Li, who had been silent before. This time he spoke with a sly, sadistic smile on his face. He seems to be very confident in his plans.

Meanwhile, the elder from the Di Clan just kept silent without saying a word. To be honest, he was quite worried at the moment. The disciple of his clan, Di Lang was killed quite viciously, even though it was also Di Lang's own fault. The dignity of his Di Clan would be tarnished if he kept quiet. But before this banquet started, the third son of the Patriach Di Clan, Di He came to him and asked him not to give a heavy punishment to Xika.

If he did not take action, the Di Clan would be laughed at by many people. But if he takes action it means that he is violating the request of his Patriach son and knows what will happen. Even if it was only the third son and did not cause much excitement, but it felt like the child was hiding something. Something dangerous that he might not want to disturb.

So it seemed like the only option he could make was silence. If he does not participate in this discussion, then he will be considered to do nothing. But when it comes to discussion, he is silent. Thus at least he had saved the dignity of the Di Clan while simultaneously executing Di He's request.

---------------------------

SHAH!

Han Li waved his hand and removed the soundproof barrier he had made. He turned around and faced Xika with a triumphant smile on his face. While the other elders looked still somewhat surprised or unsure of their decision yet they had no other choice.

"Well, since you're so confident in your abilities, why don't you fight one of us? No, just fight me. Aren't you very good at talking? Let's see if your fighting ability is comparable to your tongue."

Han Li's words immediately caused a stir and whispers here and there. Has he gone mad? Even if Xika is very strong, it does not mean that he can defeat Han Li. If it was like this, even Han Li won would not be able to regain their lost faces.

Xika also had the same thoughts as the crowd. What is this old bastard planning to do? Even though many people were talking about it, Han Li still smiled confidently.

"Heh. You also seem very confident. Why don't you fight me?" Just as Xika was silent about what to answer, Huo Bing stepped forward to reply to Han Li.

Han Li frowned looking at the plainly dressed man before him.

With a confident smile plus his overbearing face, Huo Bing replied,

"People who have a fire hotter than you."

"Oh?"

A BLAR!

"Let's prove what you say."

Han Li stepped forward with flames all over his body. He can't hold himself back anymore. Xika was already insolent. And now there's one more brat who's brazen? Even if he could feel the unusual aura of the flashy boy, it did not mean that he would step back when challenged like this.

"Hehehe......"

Without fear, Huo Bing also stepped forward with flames all over his body. Incidentally, he also needed an opponent to test himself who had already leveled up.

A SHOCK!

Han Li swung his flaring hand towards Huo Bing. But before Huo Bing could retort, a ray of light shot right between Huo Bing and Han Li. The beam held back Han Li's punch.

"Brother Han, it seems inappropriate for you to fight with one of my disciples, right?"

The light dimmed and manifested into a figure that was quite well known by all the guests present at the place. The head of the Academy from Mu Zhan Academy, the host of the new disciple welcoming competition this time, the owner of the banquet hall they were attending at the moment, Jing Wei.

Instead of being angry, Han Li smiled at Jing Wei's arrival, as if he had already expected the bald man's arrival. Although Huo Bing's presence and strength were beyond Han Li's expectations, but with the appearance of Jing Wei then his plan definitely worked.

"Brother Jing, you're late" Han Li said still with a smile on his face.

"I'm sorry about that. But it looks like you did something inappropriate too, right? Ask one of my students to fight you? Is that fair? Brother Han, you need to find an opponent that suits you." Jing Wei replied calmly but it seemed that he was ready even if Han Li wanted to fight with him at the moment.

Contrary to Xika's shadow, Han Li did not refuse and insisted that Xika fight him even the old fox nodded his head instead.

"It seems that what Brother Jing said is quite reasonable. Yet your disciple here has cruelly wounded the representatives of our sects. You wouldn't let it go without discipline, would you?"

Jing Wei looked at Han Li calmly. Looks like this bastard already knew how he was from the beginning. That was why he was fighting Huo Bing. This goddamn fox is deliberately pulling himself out. In addition, at this time he could not declare Xika innocent just like that, even though most of the injuries were due to the fault of each representative as Xika said.

At this point, Han Li would not give up until Xika was punished. And it seemed that Han Li would not accept Xika's punishment if it was given by Jing Wei.

"Then what's your advice?"

Han Li's sly smile grew bigger. He was already waiting for Jing Wei to say that.

"Look, I'm sure Brother Jing also heard your arrogant disciple's words earlier. He said Tian Yin, the number one genius of this Lin Dynasty as a bastard. Since he was so confident in his abilities that he dared to speak so presumptuously like that, why didn't he just fight that Number One Genius head-on? Surely Brother Jing won't mind, will he? It's better than fighting me anyway. But it's up to Brother Jing to feel better that I teach this student of yours."

Xika smiled cynically in her heart. So this was Han Li's plan from the beginning. He had already noticed Jing Wei's presence from the start. He deliberately asked Xika against him, knowing Jing Wei would definitely come out and say it was excessive.

That way he would be able to force Xika against Tian Yin without Xika being able to resist on the grounds that fighting Tian Yin was better than fighting him. In addition, Xika had also insulted Tian Yin so she had no desire to refuse.

For others, it may be a disaster. But for Xika, he had been waiting for that moment for a long time. You want me to fight Tian Yin? Sure, bring him here. I'll make him regret not killing me while I can.
