Chapter 123: Arrogance! Miao Feng! The Secret Technique Tower!

Xian Sect, Chaoxian Hall

Under the guidance of several Peak Masters, the entire Liu family took their seats in the Chaoxian Hall.

Compared to the arrogant Liu Sheng and others, Liu Hongyun and his group were well-behaved, giving no one a chance to find fault with them.

Just as the Peak Masters' expressions began to soften and they were about to say something, the Martial Peak Master seemed to receive some form of communication. His face suddenly changed, and he slammed his hand on the jade table!

Bang!

"Outrageous!"

"You Liu family came to the Xian Sect as guests, yet you dared to attack my peak’s disciples!"

Upon hearing this, the other Peak Masters narrowed their eyes, their formidable divine senses sweeping over the entire Xian Sect.

Instantly, the scene at the base of Martial Peak became clear.

The Liu family, as guests, had actually attacked the guiding disciple, and with extreme severity!

"Does the Liu family wish to declare war on the Southern Region?"

Qing Song of Dao Peak spoke calmly, but a cold gleam flashed in his eyes.

The other Peak Masters remained silent, but their auras locked onto the Liu family members.

"Ha ha, please don’t blame us, Peak Masters."

Liu Hongyun’s expression remained unchanged as he smiled lightly. "These young ones at home have been spoiled, and they tend to act arrogantly."

"But it’s not a big deal, just a minor conflict among the younger generation. There’s no need to escalate it to a war with the Southern Region."

Beside him, the Liu family’s Sage added with a laugh, "That’s right. Young people are always a bit hot-headed and competitive."

"I’ve heard that the Xian Sect is filled with prodigies and is the top sect in the Southern Region."

"Perhaps you could let your talented disciples give them a good lesson. Our hidden family isn’t that delicate."

"Even if someone accidentally dies in a same-rank conflict, we, as elders, won’t have much to say."

"After all, if one’s skills are inferior, there’s no one to blame."

The Liu family members all chuckled in agreement, their faces filled with mocking smiles.

Seeing the Liu family’s attitude, the Peak Masters narrowed their eyes, instantly understanding the situation.

This sudden visit by the Liu family seemed to be more about embarrassing the Southern Region and the Xian Sect than just a simple wager.

Their words were beautifully crafted, leaving no room for refusal.

With reasons like "young generation," "same rank," and "hot-headed," and the elder’s assurance that "even death is acceptable," they had no grounds to refuse.

After a brief exchange of glances, the Peak Masters had a plan.

The Liu family’s boldness indicated they were confident.

If they easily gave in to the Liu family’s demands, they might end up at a disadvantage.

"I’ll have an elder bring them over."

Qing Song’s divine sense flickered, and he sent a message to an outer sect elder.

The fight couldn’t happen yet, not until they knew more about the Liu family’s true strength.

...

Not long after, the Liu Sheng and his group, who had already incited public anger, were personally brought in by an elder.

Liu Hongyun and the others frowned slightly but didn’t say much.

"The Xian Sect truly takes good care of its disciples."

Liu Sheng stared directly at the Peak Masters, his eyes flickering with purple flames. "Are you afraid we might get the upper hand in the conflict, so you sent an elder to bring us here?"

Before the Peak Masters could respond, Liu Hongyun angrily reprimanded him, "How dare you speak to our seniors like that! The Xian Sect’s disciples are all prodigies, of course, they need to be well-protected."

He then looked at the Peak Masters and smiled, "Liu Sheng, our young master, is often a bit arrogant. I hope you can bear with him, Peak Masters."

This exchange made Qing Song, Shan Ming, and the others frown deeply.

"Young man, don’t be too arrogant."

The Demon Peak Master, Kun Wu, with his eyes swirling with demonic energy, spoke calmly, "Don’t let it end in a way that hurts you the most."

"Ha ha."

Liu Sheng laughed, his pride evident. "If anyone of the same rank can harm me, bring them out!"

"I’m just afraid the Xian Sect can’t find such a person!"

Seeing Liu Sheng’s arrogance, the Xian Sect disciples all showed signs of anger.

Some were already rubbing their hands, ready to challenge him.

Kun Wu stared at Liu Sheng for a moment, then turned to a disciple and said, "Go to Demon Peak and bring Mo Xiong here."

"Yes!"

The disciple’s face lit up with joy. He glared at Liu Sheng and then ran off.

Mo Xiong, almost the top divine body cultivator in the Xian Sect, would easily take down this arrogant young man. Thinking of this, the disciple ran even faster.

Meanwhile...

Miao Ba, observing from the shadows, couldn't help but frown as he watched Liu Sheng for a moment.

Liu Sheng, in his line of sight, exuded a powerful and fiery aura, with a purple flame that was both divine and astonishing.

Though he hadn't made a move yet, it was clear that his combat strength was formidable.

"That young man from the Mo family might not stand a chance," Miao Ba muttered, rubbing his chin. He then turned to one of his disciples and asked, "Where is Miao Feng?"

Miao Feng, Miao Ba's daughter, had already arrived when the sect opened, but she had been in seclusion, even skipping the entrance examination.

Few people knew that the sect master's own daughter had come.

"The sect master, Elder Miao is in the Secret Technique Tower, waiting for the Heavenly Rank Sword Technique," the disciple replied respectfully.

In the various Secret Technique Towers, a new secret technique was placed every month, starting from the Lower Earth Rank.

Once a disciple grasped the technique to a certain degree, they could take it away.

After it was taken, a new, higher-ranked secret technique would be placed in the tower for the other disciples to study.

Today, one of the Sword Technique Secret Technique Towers contained a technique that was almost at the Lower Heavenly Rank.

"Any secret technique will do."

Miao Ba stood up, his gaze fixed on the arrogant Liu Sheng, and said calmly, "Have her come back and take care of this person."

...

In the outer sect, on a small mountain peak, inside a stone hall.

"Phew."

After a long session of treatment, Su Changqing finally withdrew the silver needles and sighed in relief.

He looked at Wu Jiulai and smiled, "The injuries within your body have been completely sealed, and there's no risk of them breaking through again."

"During this time, don't use your cultivation. Once I study the Heavenly Doctor's Scroll further, I'll start treating you."

With the help of Spirit Devouring and Heaven Sealing, the injuries were finally under complete control. The next step was a gradual healing process.

The recovery was only a matter of time.

"Ha ha ha, good, I'll follow your advice, Changqing," Wu Jiulai said, laughing as he felt his body becoming lighter.

"Remember, don't use your cultivation, or all our efforts will be in vain."

Su Changqing, still worried, gave another reminder before smiling and taking his leave, "The duel will start in a couple of days. I'm going to the Secret Technique Tower to choose a suitable technique, so I won't disturb your rest, teacher."

With that, Su Changqing turned and left the stone hall.

"Heh, to have a disciple like this is truly a blessing."

Watching Su Changqing leave, Wu Jiulai's eyes were filled with satisfaction.

Regardless of Su Changqing's talent, his pure and respectful character was priceless.

"What are you daydreaming about? Why did you seal this stone hall?"

After a moment of reflection, Wu Jiulai turned to Uncle Fu, who was standing nearby, and asked curiously.

"Er, nothing much."

Uncle Fu, who had been deep in thought about the Liu family, was startled and forced a smile, "The small sect has been a bit chaotic lately. I was afraid it might disturb your recovery, so I sealed the stone hall."

"Don't go out for a few days. Let's play chess instead."

Uncle Fu was genuinely worried that if Wu Jiulai learned about the Liu family's arrival, he might take drastic action.

"Ha ha ha, come on, let's play. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Wu Jiulai, not suspecting anything, sat down at the chessboard with a joyful heart.

Seeing this, Uncle Fu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

As long as Wu Jiulai stayed in the stone hall, he wouldn't discover the Liu family's presence.

Unless the Liu family forcibly entered the small mountain peak, which was highly unlikely given its remote location and the fact that it was in the outer sect.

With that thought, Uncle Fu relaxed and started playing chess with Wu Jiulai.

...

Meanwhile, after leaving the stone hall, Su Changqing headed straight for the array.

"What secret technique should I learn?"

"Boxing? Axe? Or sword?"

After some consideration, Su Changqing decided to learn another sword technique.

His first two sword techniques had only the art but not the method, making them somewhat weak.

With his recent cultivation improvement, the golden giant sword in his sea of consciousness had fused significantly.

Learning a more advanced sword technique would give him more options in combat.

"I wonder to what extent I need to understand the secret techniques in the tower to take them away."

"Form a life-bound secret technique, perhaps."

With a hint of curiosity, Su Changqing stepped into the array and vanished in an instant.

When he reappeared, he found himself in a crowded tower.

At the front of the tower, a graceful woman with a sharp aura stood with her back to him.

Around her, several disciples were gathered, their faces filled with surprise as they discussed something.

Seeing this, Su Changqing was taken aback, "So many people in the Secret Technique Tower?"
