Before he even got close, Huang Mao heard a series of moans and caught a whiff of a strong smell of sheepskin from afar.

  Liao Qingfeng was in the heat of battle, pletely unaware that death roag. Just as he was about to try something new, a wave of murderous aura suddenly surged from the distaartling him so much that he jumped away without even putting on his pants.

  "Boom!"

  A massive wooden club smashed directly onto the bed, shattering it into pieces. The woman on the bed didn't even know what happened before she was struck dead.

  "Who goes there!"

  Liao Qingfeng shouted hoarsely.

  In front of him stood a masked burly man, holding a wooden club, staring at him menagly.

  Liao Qingfeng uzzled as to why Dea Liu hadn't noticed the otion inside, unaware that Dea Liu had already been turned into a pile of gold by Xiao Long through the wall.

  "I am the young master of the Fire Cloud Sect. You have offended me, and that is a capital offense! Kneel down, abolish your cultivation, and break your own arms, and I might spare your life!" Liao Qingfeng's eyes were bloodshot as he shouted hoarsely.

  "Thud!"

  His answer was a heavy blow.

  Caught off guard, Liao Qingfeng raised his arms to block, only to hear a crisp "crack" as both arms were broken, his face still showing shock.

  He never imagihat someone would dare to attack him in Fire Cloud City!

  This pletely overturned his uanding!

  Since childhood, he had been instilled with the belief that Fire Cloud City was the territory of the Fire Cloud Sect, and as the young master, he was the king of his domain, with no one daring to defy him.

  And ihat was the case. He roamed Fire Cloud City unchecked, bullying men and women alike, and everyone who saw him had to respectfully call him Young Master Liao.

  But today, someone dared to attack him!

  "I'll kill you!"

  Liao Qingfeng's eyes were bloodshot, his face twisted with rage as he gred at him.

  "If you have the guts, go ahead and kill me. Once I'm dead, my father will seal off the entire Fire Cloud City, hunt you down, and slice your flesh piece by piece, drawing your tendons and crushing your bones until you die in agony!" Liao Qingfeng gritted his teeth and said.

  "Idiot!" Huang Mao raised the club, ready to strike, but was stopped by Xiao Long.

  "What's wrong, boss? This trash should just be beaten to death with one blow," Huang Mao said, fused.

  "You fool, he's the Fire Cloud Sect Master's son. If he dies, the whole Fire Cloud City will be turned upside down, and we might get caught. How will we attend the au then?" Xiao Long said.

  "That's true," Huang Mao rubbed his , nodding in agreement.

  Seeing this, Liao Qingfeng sneered, "Cowards, you're scared after all. If you abolish your cultivation now and kowtow to apologize, I might spare your pathetic life."

  Suddenly, a red True Qi shot out from Huang Mao's sleeve, entering Liao Qingfeng's dantian.

  Liao Qingfeng's body stiffened, clearly feeling a faint, scorg True Qi in his dantian, ready to explode at any moment.

  "What did you do to me!" Liao Qingfeng jumped up.

  "Nothing much, just pnted a ghost fire seed in you. With just a thought, you'll go boom!"

  Huang Mao raised his hand, making an explosioure, grinning, "Burn to ashes!"

  Liao Qingfeng's ferocious fastantly froze, as if a cold current rushed from his spio the top of his head, leaving his face pale.

  Finally, he felt fear!

  "Remove it now, or I'll kill your entire !" Liao Qingfeng's voice weakened as he spoke, his body trembling with fear.

  "Smack!"

  Huang Mao spped him across the face, sending him flying out the door, teeth scattering everywhere.

  "Get lost! If you dare provoke me again, I'll kill you!" A cold voice came from inside, making Liao Qingfeng shiver as he scrambled away.

  The room was left in chaos.

  "Boss, humans are really strange. Even at death's door, they dare to threaten me. I really don't know what they're thinking!" Huang Mao cursed.

  "That's what you call an idiot, uand?"

  "Idiot?" Huang Mao nodded, half-uanding.

  …………

  The night quickly passed.

  The day, as the m sun rose and the breeze blew, all eyes were on the Qianlong Au House.

  The annual Fire Cloud Au was beihere.

  Huang Mao was still dressed as a masked burly man, but his aura was even strohan before, having reached the Qi densing Realm.

  In Fire Cloud City, a Qi densing Realm warrior was sidered a master, but these days, the city was filled with experts from various sects, making Qi densing Realm warriors a on sight, so Huang Mao didn't stand out too much.

  "Young master, don't be angry. Once we catch that person, we'll throw him into the Fire Cloud Sect's Fire Cloud Hell! Make him wish for life ah!"

  Liao Qingfeng walked ahead, apanied by a middle-aged man with a fair face, who smiled as he forted him.

  Behind him was a fat man with blue eyes as cold as eternal frost, making people shiver and avoid him. He was the infamous Xue Wuqing.

  "Hmph! How dare they scare me. After the au, we'll fully iigate this person's whereabouts and drag his family out, exterminating them all," Liao Qingfeng said viciously.

  Wheurned yesterday, his father, Liao Huoyun, personally checked his body and found nothing unusual.

  The so-called ghost fire seed urely a scare tactic!

  Clearly, that person was afraid to act against him, knowing he was the Fire Cloud Sect's young master, and made up the ghost fire seed to scare him away.

  "Young Master Liao, long time no see, and your temper is still so fiery, always talking about exterminating families." At this moment, a mog voice came, and a gloomy-faced young man looked at him sideways, a cold smile on his lips.

  Behind the gloomy young man was an old man with a hooked nose, his body like a skeleton, his eyes cold, and his face shrouded in a faint bck aura.

  "It's you!" Liao Qingfeng's eyes narrowed.

  Liao Qingfeng reized the young man as Gu Sha, the young master of the Hidden Poiso, one of the four major sects, known as the "Little Poison King."

  Gu Sha was different from Liao Qingfeng. While Liao Qingfeng relied on his status as the Fire Cloud Sect's young master, living a life of luxury and indulgence, reag the first level of the Qi densing Realm at twenty through pills, a typical pyboy.

  Gu Sha, oher hand, reached the fifth level of the Qi densing Realm at twenty, mastering poison teiques passed down from the Old Poison King, making challenging higher levels as easy as eating and drinking. Even some elders in his sect were no match for him.

  It's said that when Gu Sha broke through to the Qi densing Realm, five auspicious clouds appeared in the sky, marking him as a genius with the potential to make it onto the Qianlong List and bee famous.

  "Hehe, Young Master Liao, it's been a while, and you're still standing still! I heard there's a ce a third-grade Qi densing Pill might appear at this au. If you get it, you could advao the sed level of the Qi densing Realm, making further progress. gratutions!"

  Gu Sha sneered, his words dripping with undisguised sarcasm.
