Upon this, An Sheng Xin nodded slightly, then ceased paying attention to Ma Hong, turning his head directly to Ye Zhangqing as if muttering to himself.

You like to put on airs; just wait, I'll step on you flat.

As soon as An Sheng Xin said that, the disciples of the Ultimate Bliss Palace finally turned their gaze to Ye Zhangqing.

Before, Ye Zhangqing never showed up, so everyone's attention remained on Zuo Jue, treating Ye Zhangqing merely as a passerby.

Unexpectedly, the person standing beside Zuo Jue turned out to be the much-rumored fifth Yāoniè, Ye Zhangqing.

In a moment, many gazes curiously sized him up, including Ma Hong.

Despite being stared at by so many eyes, Ye Zhangqing didn't mind, calmly looking at An Sheng Xin and saying:

"Heavenly Brother says you're not wrong, the Immortal Realm's number-one narcissist."

"Hah, whether it's right or wrong isn't up to you, but you surnamed Ye, you hit my Ultimate Bliss Palace's holy maiden—how do you plan to answer to me?"

An Sheng Xin still had an aura of arrogance, haughtily saying to Ye Zhangqing:

An Sheng Xin sure can put on an act—no wonder Tianlin scoffed when mentioning him, his act knows no bounds.

But Ye Zhangqing gave him no face at all; hearing that, he let out a cold laugh.

"Answer? I'll give you a shitty answer—do you even deserve it?"

Ye Zhangqing showed no mercy, ultimately causing An Sheng Xin's face to slightly chill, his eyes narrowing as he fixed a deadly stare on Ye Zhangqing, like a venomous snake lurking in the dark, locked onto its prey.

"Master, let us seize this person."

Before An Sheng Xin could speak, the four maidservants behind her respectfully said:

They were An Sheng Xin's close attendants, long brainwashed; in their minds, An Sheng Xin was the Immortal Realm's strongest Heavenly Pride Yāoniè.

In the future, they even wanted him to become the Immortal Realm's number-one powerhouse.

How could one tolerate humiliation? Ye Zhangqing, a mere rumor‑mongered fifth Yāoniè, is hardly worthy of being mentioned alongside the master—let's take him down first.

After the words fell, seeing An Sheng Xin silent, the four maidens flashed forward to attack Ye Zhangqing.

However, the fast charge met an equally fast retreat; the girl in the front line, having just appeared before Ye Zhangqing, was slapped back the next second.

Seeing that, the other three froze, but soon enough they met the same fate.

Ye Zhangqing disposed of them in just a couple moves.

Although the three weren't low in talent and had received An Sheng Xin's careful cultivation, they barely qualified for the Heavenly Pride threshold.

But what of it? Compared to Ye Zhangqing, they are still far behind.

One of them was directly pinned by Ye Zhangqing in front of him, lying flat on the ground, unable to move.

And Ye Zhangqing, with a single finger thrust, pierced straight through that person's left shoulder.

Blood kept flowing from the wound.

"Where did you get the nerve?"

Seeing the icy cold and anger in the girl's eyes, Ye Zhangqing said lightly.

With Immortal King realm cultivation, you dare to act against yourself.

And Ye Zhangqing's action also instantly angered An Sheng Xin; only to see his aura surge—indeed, he had reached the Immortal Venerable realm, hardly different from Tianlin.

As for this, Ye Zhangqing was not surprised; he had long anticipated it—in fact, it would be strange if An Sheng Xin had not broken through to the Immortal Venerable realm.

After all, Ye Zhangqing is a rising star; it's understandable that his cultivation lags a bit, and in fact he is striving to catch up, with the gap narrowing.

But if An Sheng Xin fails to break through to the Immortal Venerable realm, then he would have been left behind by Tianlin and the others.

And with Yāoniè talent, one can say step by step slow; if any step is left behind, later trying to catch up would be difficult.

Even the gap will grow larger; after all, having been left behind once proves you have a gap with the others—since there is a gap, what reason is there to catch up?

"Give me a reason not to kill you."

His aura surging, An Sheng Xin was still pretending until now, calmly staring at Ye Zhangqing as he spoke.

It seemed as if Ye Zhangqing's life was already in his grasp—he could kill whenever he wanted.
