As Zhao Qing spoke, the chilling aura around him intensified.
For a moment, it felt as if the ambient temperature had dropped significantly.
Zhang Lan's expression changed, and she sternly rebuked, "Zhao Qing, what do you intend to do? This is the Flower Sect's headquarters. You dare not cause trouble here!"
Zhao Qing grinned, "So what if this is the Flower Sect's headquarters? Your Flower Sect is just a bunch of women. Do you expect them to stop us?"
"Let me tell you, I'm not here to negotiate with you today. I've come with a decision in mind, so you'd best agree to my terms."
"Otherwise, the Flower Sect will cease to exist today."
"You!" Zhang Lan was furious, but even so, she was powerless to stop Zhao Qing.
After all, their Flower Sect truly lacked any combat prowess. Even though Zhao Qing and his group were few, they were likely enough to annihilate them.
Zhao Qing continued with a smile, "So, have I made myself clear? Will you agree or not?"
"You'd better give me your answer immediately. I don't have that much patience to wait with you."
Although Zhang Lan was internally anxious, as the sect leader, she would not yield to Zhao Qing's intimidation.
Therefore, she righteously refused, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"No matter what methods you employ today, our Flower Sect will not fear you!"
"Is that so?" Zhao Qing sighed. "I've already given you a chance, and you failed to cherish it. It's truly regrettable."
"Since you're ungrateful, then... I'll have to teach you a lesson!"
With that, Zhao Qing's expression turned stern.
He waved his hand to the side, and a vase worth over a hundred thousand yuan instantly shattered into pieces.
Seeing this, Wu Tian's brow furrowed slightly. He sensed that Zhao Qing was clearly a spiritual cultivator!
Zhao Qing's actions startled the members of the Flower Sect. Zhao Qing, pleased with their reaction, glanced at Zhao Liang and said, "Son, take your two wives back first."
"Yes." Zhao Liang nodded, then approached Chen Yi and the others with a sinister smile.
He said, "Two beautiful ladies, please don't resist. Just come with me obediently. Don't worry, I will pamper you dearly..."
Chen Yi and Chen Meng's faces turned exceptionally pale.
Chen Meng, in particular, was so terrified that her liver and gallbladder began to tremble.
She understood matters between sects better than Chen Yi. She had heard that this Zhao Liang was no good.
Legend had it that he had forcibly slept with hundreds of girls to cultivate his techniques.
Those girls had suffered immensely, and almost none of them could maintain a normal state.
If the two sisters fell into Zhao Liang's hands, wouldn't their lives be ruined forever?
The two women slowly retreated, while Zhao Liang advanced relentlessly.
But his steps suddenly halted as Wu Tian blocked his path.
Zhao Liang was slightly stunned, then said darkly, "Who are you? Get out of my way!"
Wu Tian stared directly at Zhao Liang and said coldly, "I advise you not to take another step forward, or your fate will be grim."
"What did you say?" Zhao Liang was shocked that Wu Tian dared to speak like that and immediately became enraged.
"How dare you! This is the Flower Sect. What is a man like you doing here? Get lost!"
"Shouldn't it be you who gets lost?" Wu Tian replied, neither servile nor overbearing, seemingly not taking Zhao Liang seriously at all.
"With me here today, you won't be able to touch the Flower Sect. So I hope you'd better behave yourselves and not cause trouble for yourselves."
"You!" Zhao Liang was infuriated by Wu Tian.
He said darkly, "Who exactly are you, and where do you get the nerve to speak to me like this?"
"Haven't you understood? I am the Young Master of the Yin Sect. Do you know what the Yin Sect means!"
Wu Tian remained indifferent, "The Yin Sect? Is that very impressive?"
"So what if you're the Young Master? You're not qualified to speak with me. Just get out of the way."
"You bastard!" Zhao Liang couldn't tolerate Wu Tian's attitude and immediately gathered his internal energy, then struck Wu Tian with a palm.
The Yin Sect cultivated poison techniques, so their internal energy was filled with toxicity.
Once it hit someone, it would inject a terrifying poisonous force, leading to immediate death if not treated promptly.
However, before his palm could touch Wu Tian, he was kicked flying back by Wu Tian.
He fell heavily to the ground. Still unconvinced, he stood up and charged at Wu Tian again, but the result was the same – he was sent flying again.
"How could this be!" He was both shocked and angry. Just as he was about to launch a third attack, Zhao Qing called out to him.
"Liang'er, stop!"
Hearing this low command, Zhao Liang immediately halted.
He looked at Zhao Qing and asked in confusion, "Father, what's wrong?"
Zhao Qing's expression was grim as he said, "This fellow is no ordinary person. You are no match for him. Let me test his depth first."
With that, he looked at Wu Tian and asked, "Young man, who exactly are you, and why are you at the Flower Sect?"
Wu Tian said coldly, "Why I am here is none of your business. But your presence here is my business."
"You are, after all, a sect leader. I advise you to be sensible, otherwise, your Yin Sect might cease to exist today."
"What did you say?!" Zhao Qing was enraged. "How dare you speak such words! Do you have the ability to destroy my Yin Sect!"
"I am the Sect Master of the Yin Sect. Do you think a junior like you can be my opponent!"
"It's just being a sect leader. It's not like you're the only one."
Wu Tian revealed the token of the Bashan Sect, "I am the Sect Master of the Bashan Sect. Do I not have this qualification!"
"What? You're actually the Sect Master of the Bashan Sect?!" Zhao Qing was utterly stunned.
But he immediately denied it, "Impossible! I've met Zhang Kui of the Bashan Sect, and he is clearly the Sect Master. Who do you think you are!"
Zhang Lan, knowing that Wu Tian was coming to her aid, stepped forward to clarify, "Zhao Qing, you might be mistaken. This Sect Master Wu is indeed the new Sect Master of the Bashan Sect!"
"I was just about to marry my two daughters to him. Your arrival now to snatch them is clearly disrespecting us, the Flower Sect, and also disrespecting the Bashan Sect!"
Upon hearing Zhang Lan's words, everyone was stunned.
Chen Yi and Chen Meng couldn't believe their ears.
They both indeed liked Wu Tian, and naturally, they were willing to marry him and serve him well. But why did their mother, Zhang Lan, suddenly say such a thing?
