In the arena, the fierce fist pressure shattered the surrounding area into pieces as if crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood.
Golden light flickered, and Li Xiaobai vanished on the spot, leaving only a series of echoes behind.
“Li Xiaobai is awesome!”
The words echoed in the ears of every cultivator, lingering for a long time.
“Ah!”
“Li Xiaobai, if Yan Xiaoqi doesn’t kill you, I swear I’m not human!”
Yan Xiaoqi looked like a lunatic, howling to the sky; the spiritual power within his body surged, transforming into thunderous echoes that made the nearby cultivators dizzy and terrified.
The disturbance here was no small matter, especially the towering avatar of the Demonic Divine Spirit seen not only by the Three Sects but by the entire Central City.
This was the Primordial Spirit of Qi Sect’s Sect Master, highly recognizable. Almost all the powerful figures in Central Province knew it, and the fact that it was forced to show meant that a major event had occurred.
Large numbers of cultivators were rushing over, eager to see what was happening. Many had witnessed the scene.
The young man had pointed to the sky in front of Qi Sect’s Sect Master and shouted “Li Xiaobai is awesome!”. He then slipped away right under the other’s watch.
Even with a Great Crossing Realm Cultivator revealing his Primordial Spirit, he still failed to catch the other party, which was quite a shock to them.
The name Li Xiaobai was known to them all, the talk of the town within Central City. After causing an uproar in the Elixir Sect competition and still escaping unscathed, the considerable bounty from the simultaneous manhunt of the Three Sects made many veteran cultivators envious.
They assumed he would stealthily flee Central Province, yet unexpectedly, he was audacious enough to change his appearance and stir trouble in Qi Sect. By this trend, was he going to make a scene at Array Formation Sect next?
The gathered cultivators on the clearing trembled, stealthily retreating from the range of the Alchemy Hall while Yan Xiaoqi raged. They didn’t want their memories erased or their Primordial Spirits damaged. Besides, Yan Xiaoqi was not in the right state of mind, and if he came back to his senses, they feared for their lives.
The man in the black robe stood dumbfounded, staring blankly at the spot where Li Xiaobai had disappeared, feeling as if the heavens had played a joke on him.
He had sworn upon his Dao heart, ranking no lower than Li Xiaobai. Who could have imagined that Ye Liangchen was actually Li Xiaobai in disguise? Now that the other was first and he was second, it was like he had already broken his Dao heart oath.
From now on, his Dao heart would be damaged, making it harder to sense the great Dao of heaven and earth. His cultivation was likely to stagnate.
His bright future was gone, and the fiery passion quenched in an instant. If nothing out of the ordinary happened, he would only be a small fry at the Divinity Transformation Stage for the rest of his life.
“Li Xiaobai, I, the Evil Three, will never coexist with you!”
“I’ll first return to my sect to report. Given my status in the sect, they shouldn’t give up on me easily. I’ll ask my master to take action. If I’m finished, then Li Xiaobai must join me in death!”

The man in the black robe’s eyes glinted with malice, and in a twist of his body, he too disappeared from the spot.
With things having reached this point, all the forces of the Three Sects had arrived, and various powerhouses from Central City had also gathered, all drawn by Qi Sect’s commotion.
Upon hearing the name Li Xiaobai, they all understood the ins and outs of the incident.
It was clear that it was retaliation. In front of all the cultivators under heaven, he had slapped the faces of the Three Sects. Today, both Qi Sect and Elixir Sect had lost face completely!
The Saint Heirs and saintesses of the Three Sects had complex expressions. Had they known, they would have urged their Family Heads to make peace with Li Xiaobai, avoiding such an outcome.
However, such provocation was tantamount to declaring war against the Three Sects. While the other’s tricks were somewhat magical, they paled in comparison with the great might of the Three Sects. Once the Three Sects were intent on killing, no matter how talented Li Xiaobai was, he was doomed.
“That Li Xiaobai is indeed audacious, just causing a big scene at Elixir Sect and now stirring up trouble at Qi Sect. The next one won’t be my Array Formation Sect, will it? Ladies and gentlemen, I shall take my leave first and return to keep watch at Array Formation Sect. If there’s any news, I will inform you immediately.”
Zhen Tiannan bowed with his fists clasped, ready to depart.
“Sect Master Zhen, this child is crafty and has committed many evils. We two shall accompany you, and if he dares to come, we will certainly make him pay the price!”
Zhong Daoquan and Yan Xiaoqi exchanged glances, saying in unison.
They were all too aware of what kind of game Zhen Tiannan was playing; he wanted to monopolize Li Xiaobai’s secrets. They too had entertained such thoughts, so now they could not allow him to enjoy the resources alone.
“This guy is very cunning; he pretends to be Li Xiaobai’s enemy, saying he wants to overpower him at the Three Sects’ competition. But in fact, it was just him in disguise!”
After some pulling and dragging, the Three Sects’ Sect Masters ultimately headed towards the Array Formation Sect together.
“Li Xiaobai is actually so powerful, double-crossing the Three Sects and making monkeys out of the Three Sects’ Sect Masters; he’s reaching for the skies!”
“It’s said that he came from the Northern Region, causing a ruckus all along the way. He made quite a stir in the Immortal Spirit Daily, and while I thought it was just hype, turns out he truly makes things happen!”
“I bet one top-grade Spirit Stone that this kid won’t survive the night!”
“Heh, I’ll bet two.”
The rest of the cultivators whispered among themselves. This time Li Xiaobai had truly become famous, having struck twice, not only pulling a fast one on the Qi Sect but pointing at the sky in mockery.
His brash and arrogant demeanor was now etched in the minds of the cultivators, and it was foreseeable that for a long while to come, Li Xiaobai would be the talk of the town amongst the cultivators during their leisure time.
However, Li Xiaobai was destined not to know these things, as he was once again outside Central City, blood on the corners of his mouth.
Just now, Yan Xiaoqi’s suppressed punch had struck his body, causing his blood and qi to churn, leading to internal injuries once more.

Casually grabbing a handful of Heavenly Fragrance Life-extending Pills, he stuffed them into his mouth, and after a moment, his physical condition gradually recovered.
He reached into his chest and pulled Ji Wuqing out.
“Giggle, kiddo, I need to relieve myself.”
Ji Wuqing said.
“Hold it for now, we’re carrying out a big plan.”
Li Xiaobai said offhandedly. This creature was purely a troublemaker, and it was nice to have it quiet for a bit. Next time, he might consider adding some poison to directly kill it which could also help to enhance its strength incidentally.
Taking off the Human Skin Mask, he reshaped his face. This time, Li Xiaobai crafted an extremely ordinary face, one with no distinctive features, one that would absolutely blend into a crowd unnoticed.
The last two times he made a scene were too high-profile; this time, he would take a low-key yet sophisticated and substantial approach.
The Array Formation Sect’s competition was different from the other two Sects; the old routines no longer applied, and he had to be more careful.
Dressed neatly, he stood up, ready to enter Central City for the third time, but just then, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder. A cool voice came from behind with a haunting fragrance.
“Little junior brother, you seem to be having quite a blast, huh!”
