Seeing Shen Fengyao fall silent, Wu Tian did not wish to escalate the matter further.
He said, "Sect Master Shen, take my advice, let this matter rest."
"We are all here to attend the event, and should be watching the disciples of the Sword Sect spar.
"But before they even begin, we are fighting amongst ourselves. What does this make us look like?"
"If such a thing were to spread in the future, would it not be bad reputation for both your Huoyun Sect and our Shenglei Sect?"
He had originally thought that as the Sect Master, Shen Fengyao would have a broader perspective.
However, to his surprise, Shen Fengyao replied, "If we let this matter go today."
"Then it would truly be something that damages the reputation of our Huoyun Sect, wouldn't it?"
"I know you have hidden your strength, but what does that matter?"
"The face that our Huoyun Sect has lost today, I, as the Sect Master, must personally reclaim."
"Otherwise, everyone will truly believe that our Huoyun Sect fears your Shenglei Sect!"
Hearing this, Wu Tian could not help but sigh inwardly.
Why could this Shen Fengyao not listen to good advice?
What was the point of fighting? And if they were to truly fight to the death, would the Tianjian Shen Sect stand idly by?
But seeing that Shen Fengyao had no intention of joking, Wu Tian was helpless.
He could only shake his head and say, "Sect Master Shen, I have said all I can. If you insist on this, then I can do nothing."
"Today, you are simply unable to swallow this anger. Fine, if you want to fight, I will fight you."
"If you must have our Shenglei Sect bow down to you, then you will have to defeat me first."
Everyone could not help but gasp deeply.
Their gazes towards Wu Tian were filled with disbelief.
Although they did not know how Wu Tian had deciphered Shen Fengyao's moves earlier,
No matter what, Shen Fengyao was, after all, a Sect Master!
Her strength had reached the level of a Seven-Revolutions Golden Immortal!
Wu Tian dared to provoke Shen Fengyao like this. Given Shen Fengyao's temper, was this not seeking death?
Shen Fengyao also had no intention of further negotiation, saying, "Your attitude is exactly what I wish for."
"Then let me see what kind of strength this young man who suddenly appeared possesses!"
With that, Shen Fengyao unleashed her pressure without reservation.
Instantly, a large expanse of dense fiery clouds condensed in the sky, as if the sky itself was about to burn completely.
A heavy pressure immediately enveloped a vast area.
Those who were affected, except for the exceptionally strong, could not help but tremble.
They felt the immortal energy within their bodies boiling violently, as if any further advancement would cause it to completely evaporate.
"It can't be that serious..."
Many murmured tremblingly.
In their opinion, the essence of this matter was merely a conflict that was not too significant.
No matter how much it escalated, it would not lead to any major repercussions.
However, the development of the situation had completely exceeded their expectations.
No one present knew what the outcome of this matter would be.
Wu Tian looked up at the burning clouds in the sky and could not help but sigh, saying,
"Do you only intend to stop when the situation escalates to this point?"
"You are, after all, a Sect Master, but your actions now are nothing like a Sect Master should be."
Shen Fengyao said sternly, "You don't need to waste your words on me."
"Since you are so confident, then show me the basis for your confidence."
"Otherwise, I will only think of you as someone who only talks big!"
Shen Fengyao's eyes widened sharply, and in an instant, an extremely terrifying pressure surged towards Wu Tian.
This pressure was several times stronger than what Lei Qianjiao had faced earlier.
If Shen Fengyao had used this level of pressure from the beginning, then even if Lei Qianjiao had not died, she would probably have become a cripple by now.
Wu Tian was not a fool; he could naturally see at a glance that Shen Fengyao was attacking without holding back.
Speaking of which, this woman was truly reckless when she got impulsive!
If someone else had provoked her, wouldn't that person have been burned to ashes?
Wu Tian did not dare to be negligent. His immortal energy circulated, and the sound of thunder immediately echoed in the sky.
He had no intention of holding back, so his aura also erupted without restraint.
"This is... a Five-Revolutions Golden Immortal?!"
Upon confirming Wu Tian's strength, everyone felt as if their nerves were about to snap.
Shen Fengyao possessing the strength of a Seven-Revolutions Golden Immortal did not surprise them too much.
After all, the Huoyun Sect was a major sect, and its Sect Master's strength would not be weak.
However, they never expected that Wu Tian's strength would also be so formidable.
What was going on with this Shenglei Sect?
Why had they quietly gained two Golden Immortal level experts?
Facing this situation, Shen Fengyao's expression also showed a brief stiffness.
Undoubtedly, Wu Tian's strength had far exceeded her expectations.
She had anticipated that Wu Tian's strength would be greater than Lei Qianjiao's, but she did not expect it to be at such a high level.
As lightning flashed around Wu Tian, a pressure no weaker than Shen Fengyao's surged forward madly.
The two pressures collided, immediately forming a violent, invisible storm!
Seeing this, everyone's expressions changed drastically, and they shouted in horror:
"Not good! Everyone run!"
Everyone circulated their immortal energy to the extreme and fled the area at the fastest speed possible.
Only some top experts remained in place, not moving.
The invisible storm had not gone out of control at first, but less than ten seconds later, as the energy exerted by both sides became stronger and stronger.
The storm kept distorting and finally collapsed completely!
In an instant, the sound of roaring flames and the sound of booming thunder swept out along with the storm!
Given the intensity of the storm, it would not have been unreasonable for it to engulf hundreds of kilometers.
However, fortunately, the experts remaining nearby joined forces to form a protective barrier, which isolated the storm.
The storm raged wildly within the barrier, completely destroying the ground and buildings.
Debris and dust swirled with the storm, and for a time, no one could see clearly what was happening inside.
