The old man in blue, upon hearing this, immediately frowned.
"You girl, I'm giving you good advice, why don't you listen? I'm telling you, I'm not letting you in for your own good. You have no idea what's inside!" the old man in blue said unhappily.
He Xinyi snorted, "For our own good? I'm sorry, I don't need it. Please move aside quickly. My patience is limited. If you keep pestering me, don't blame me for being impolite."
"Impolite? I'd like to see how you plan to be impolite to this old man!" the old man in blue said indignantly.
He Xinyi's temper flared. She gave the mercenary captain a look and was about to make a move when Master Lin stopped her.
"Miss He, please remain calm. Allow me to have a word with him." Master Lin stepped forward, cupped his fists, and said, "Elder, I am Lin Zhengdao from Hong Kong. May I ask your esteemed name and what sect or school you hail from, esteemed master?"
"Hmph, what Hong Kong Lin Zhengdao? This old man has never heard of you. I don't belong to any sect or school. I'm just a humble fisherman from the mountains. As for my name, you are not worthy to know it!" The old man in blue gave no face at all, his temper as foul and stubborn as ever.
"Damn it, you old geezer, who do you think you are? Do you know who I am?" Zheng Aoqiu felt his chance had finally arrived. He wanted to show off his manliness in front of He Xinyi.
The old man in blue glanced at Zheng Aoqiu, clearly not recognizing the young man. Zheng Aoqiu arrogantly declared, "Let me tell you, I am Zheng Aoqiu, and my father is Zheng Tianyi, the richest man in Jiaonan. Since you are from Jiaonan, you must have heard of him!"
The old man in blue's expression changed slightly. He had indeed heard of Zheng Tianyi. However, he didn't take him seriously.
"Heh heh, the son of a mere richest man in Jiaonan is not qualified to shout here in front of me. Boy, I advise you not to seek death. Get out of my sight quickly!" the old man in blue rebuked.
"You mountain fisherman, how dare you!" Zheng Aoqiu truly believed the old man in blue was just a fisherman and didn't take him seriously. "Believe it or not, with just one phone call, the maritime police will be here to arrest you!"
"This young lady is Miss He from the He family in Hong Kong. She's here in Jiaonan to invest, and even the county magistrate of Fuyang County personally received her. You bunch of bumpkins, if you delay the investment, the county magistrate won't let you off!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the old man in blue suddenly burst into laughter.
"Fuyang County Magistrate? So what? And what is the He family of Hong Kong?"
"If we were outside, perhaps I would give you some face, but here on Ice Fire Island, if I were to slaughter all of you, who would know?"
At the old man in blue's words, Zheng Aoqiu was utterly enraged.
"You old scoundrel, you have some nerve! You just wait, I'll call the county magistrate right now. You dogs are deliberately disrupting the investment environment!" Saying that, Zheng Aoqiu actually took out his phone.
It must be said, this person had reached a certain level of brainlessness. These three people hadn't shown the slightest fear when facing over a thousand mercenaries; how could they truly be mere mountain fishermen?
Chen Xiao smiled slightly, having a premonition that this young man surnamed Zheng was not far from misfortune.
As expected, although the old man in blue didn't make a move, a young man in white beside him couldn't stand it. The young man quietly took out an ancient talisman and threw it into the air! With a *snap*, the talisman stuck to Zheng Aoqiu's body.
Zheng Aoqiu, who was spinning around looking for a signal, suddenly saw something stuck to him. He looked bewildered and reached out to grab it. At that moment, Master Lin's face changed drastically, and he shouted, "Careful, don't move!"
However, his warning was too late. Before Zheng Aoqiu could react, the talisman stuck to his body instantly exploded! With a *bang*, a sound like a firecracker explosion rang out. Zheng Aoqiu was blasted over ten meters away, his clothes torn to shreds, and his body bleeding profusely. He himself was directly blown unconscious.
Seeing this, Zheng Aoqiu's companions looked on in shock. What was that? Was it sorcery? Immediately, a chill surged from their tails to the crowns of their heads! Their legs trembled, and they shivered all over. These spoiled brats had only come along for sightseeing, never expecting to encounter such strange events! They scrambled back behind the mercenaries, fearing for their lives. As for Zheng Aoqiu, no one paid him any mind at this point.
The old man in blue clearly hadn't expected the young man in white to act and glared, scolding, "Stinky brat, who told you to make a move?" The young man in white looked wronged but remained silent.
The mercenary captain aimed his gun directly at the young man in white. In an instant, countless dark muzzles locked onto the young man in white. They were only waiting for Miss He's command, and the young man in white's body would be riddled with holes.
At this point, Master Lin lowered his voice and said, "Put your guns down. I will handle this!" The mercenary captain looked confused, but Master Lin's orders were Miss He's orders, and they dared not disobey. However, he didn't know that even if they fired, they might not be able to kill the three people on the other side. Instead, it would enrage them, and then Miss He's safety would not be guaranteed. It was for this reason that Master Lin stopped them from acting; he wanted to face these three himself.
"Elder, I'll say it one last time. Please do not block our path, or don't blame me, Lin Zhengdao, for being unrighteous!" Master Lin stepped forward with an imposing presence, his eyes flashing with white light and a sharp glint.
The old man in blue sneered, "Heh heh, no wonder you're so confident. So you're a fellow practitioner of the Way. However, the cultivation world in your Hong Kong is too backward. If you don't want to die, get out of here quickly!"
"Presumptuous! Today, I will let you experience the power of Hong Kong's cultivation world!" Upon hearing the old man in blue insult the entire Hong Kong cultivation world, Master Lin became furious. He formed a hand seal and unleashed a cold white beam of light! The white light shot towards the old man in blue. However, at that moment, a white figure flashed, and the young man in white blocked in front of the old man in blue. Wielding a long saber, he swung it with such density that it blocked the white beam. The white light struck the saber, instantly coating it with a layer of frost! However, the young man in white paid it no mind. He stared at Master Lin and said proudly, "If you want to fight my master, you have to get past me first!"
