Chapter 435

Lin Bai would not let it go.

"Lin Bai, don't you go too far."

"Where did I go too far? I'm just asking you to honor the bet between us."

"You promised in front of everyone back then. Don't tell me you're planning to deny it now."

Lin Bai shrugged, not feeling he had done anything wrong.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have judged people by their appearance."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have judged people by their appearance."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have judged people by their appearance."

",,,"

Old Li gritted his teeth, finally lowering his head to hide his shame.

He kept repeating that sentence over and over until, after the tenth time, the other person finally looked up fiercely and stared at Lin Bai.

"Mm, not bad. Remember to credit the points to me later."

"These past few days have been truly exhausting. I'm going back to get a good sleep."

"And I should say hello to my Master; he's probably worried sick."

"Tudou, let's go."

07 Lin Bai, completely satisfied, turned around and waved at Wang Yuping. The two of them then pushed through the crowd and strode briskly back toward Qingluan Peak.

Lin Bai was in an excellent mood, especially seeing that person's frustrated expression.

"Senior Brother, that was simply so satisfying. That Old Li usually acts arrogantly toward us disciples of Qingluan Peak and doesn't take us seriously."

"This time, he'll surely learn his lesson."

Wang Yuping followed behind Lin Bai, chattering nonstop. Every time he thought of Old Li's face just now, he felt like laughing.

"Remember, no one is allowed to bully us from now on. If anyone dares to bully us, we retaliate on the spot. Absolutely do not wait until later."

Lin Bai stopped, looked at Wang Yuping, and said with grave seriousness.

"Understood, Senior Brother. From now on, I'll keep these words firmly in my heart."

Wang Yuping nodded, staring at Lin Bai with an admiring gaze.

He always felt that since Lin Bai arrived at Qingluan Peak, the peak had become different from before.

When people from other peaks saw them, they no longer wore looks of contempt as they used to.

Afterwards, Lin Bai, completely satisfied, flew back to Qingluan Peak.

After exchanging greetings with the junior brothers, Lin Bai went straight to Feng Feng Yunzheng's cave dwelling.

"So you little one are back."

Feng Feng Yunzheng had already known the news of Lin Bai's return.

Naturally, he also knew about what happened at the foot of the mountain, but since he thought his disciple wouldn't suffer any loss, he didn't interfere.

He could learn about Lin Bai's situation at the very first moment.

Although he also felt it was satisfying, he did not quite approve of Lin Bai's method.

"Master, how are you? It's been so many days since we met. Have you missed me?"

Lin Bai sat before the other person and downed a cup of tea in one gulp.

"Stop grinning at me like that. I already know everything about what you did at the foot of the mountain just now."

Feng Feng Yunzheng deliberately kept a stern face.

"How about it, Master? Wasn't it especially satisfying?"

"Satisfying my foot. Never do such things again."

"That Old Li is an elder of the sect. No matter what, you shouldn't have treated him that way, making him lose face in front of all the disciples."

Feng Feng Yunzheng reached out and lightly tapped Lin Bai on the head.

"Understood, Master. I suppose he won't dare again next time."

Lin Bai nodded, but the smile on his lips never faded.

"How about it? Did you get injured this time?"

"Master, do I look like I'm injured? Don't worry, I'm perfectly fine."

Lin Bai patted his own pectoral muscles to prove he had no problems.

"These past few days, you must not have eaten or slept well. Go back and rest immediately."

Feng Feng Yunzheng nodded, urging Lin Bai to go back and rest.

"Alright then, Master, I'll be off."

Lin Bai turned and left, returning to his own cave dwelling.

As soon as he returned to the cave dwelling, Lin Bai took the Thousand-Year Snake Charm out of his spatial storage and placed it on his bed.

The Thousand-Year Snake Charm looked around the cave dwelling once, then found a comfortable spot and lay down.

However, its small head kept staring at Lin Bai, as if it had something to say.

"What's wrong? Do you have something on your mind?"

Lin Bai raised an eyebrow, while the Thousand-Year Snake Charm flicked out its snake tongue.

"If you have something, hold it for now. I can't understand your words anyway."

Having spoken, Lin Bai closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and placed the Snake Core before his chest.

When Lin Bai loosened his hands, the Snake Core hovered in midair.

As Lin Bai formed the hand seals, the purple light on the Snake Core began to surround him.

Lin Bai felt as if he were being roasted all over; immense energy gradually surged through his meridians.

Lin Bai felt the stimulation from that energy; as the energy entered, his body gradually changed, his meridians transforming.

He sank his Qi to his dantian, and wave after wave of energy gathered within the Jin Dan in his dantian.

As the energy poured in, the Jin Dan began to change; Lin Bai felt the power within him reach its peak, then burst forth in the next instant.

"Someone on Qingluan Peak has broken through."

Soon, the phenomenon at Lin Bai's location drew the Elders from every Shanfeng.

Above Lin Bai's cave, dark clouds gathered thickly; within them, lightning and thunder lurked, as if about to strike at any moment.

All the cultivators on every Shanfeng were drawn out.

They wanted to know: what kind of breakthrough could possibly summon a Lei Jie?

Moments later, the first Lei Jie struck down, followed immediately by the second, third, and 023rd.

Until the fifth Lei Jie, Lin Bai's voice rang out.

"Damn it, are you crazy? Why the hell are you striking lightning for no reason?"

Lin Bai walked out from the ruins, displeased with his tattered clothes.

Whether or not Lin Bai's curses had any effect, the sixth Lei Jie, about to strike, suddenly halted—and soon after, the Lei Jie ended.

Everyone swallowed hard.

That move was awesome—no one expected it could be done like this.

Some immediately decided that when they themselves broke through and summoned a Lei Jie, they'd do the same.

But the Lei Jie wouldn't show them any mercy—it would strike harder, making them cry foul.

Of course, all that was later talk.

"This is truly a treasure."

All the Elders shared the same thought—but all they could do was envy.

Feng Feng Yunzheng was not pleased to have acquired such a treasure.

Ever since this treasure came into his possession, it had brought him no end of trouble.

Worse, it was extremely expensive—his clothes ruined every few days.

Not only that, but even his cave had been obliterated—all white spirit stones gone.

"Lin Bai, you, you—"

"Master, don't worry about me—I'm fine. Look, I've broken through to Divine King Mid-Stage."

Seeing Feng Feng Yunzheng approach, Lin Bai assumed he was concerned and quickly assured him he was unharmed.
