Asura Mad Emperor

Immediately, Zhuo Bufan also understood.

Liu Qingyu was clearly deliberately provoking and inciting him, even scheming against him.

Realizing that the reason he had lost face in front of everyone and been defeated by Qinchuan was entirely due to Liu Qingyu's instigation, Zhuo Bufan became furious.

Qinchuan was not his opponent.

However, he was not afraid of Liu Qingyu.

"Liu Qingyu, you dare to plot against me, to deliberately provoke me!"

Zhuo Bufan charged up and caught Liu Qingyu, who had been dazed by Qinchuan's slap, and gave him a severe beating.

"Ah..."

"Zhuo Bufan, you dare to hit me!"

Liu Qingyu also came to his senses and immediately became enraged.

But Zhuo Bufan's strength had always been comparable to Liu Qingyu's, and now that he had advanced to the Second Layer of the Meridian Opening Realm, surpassing Liu Qingyu by one realm, plus Zhuo Bufan's sudden attack, Liu Qingyu was no match for him at all.

In the blink of an eye, Zhuo Bufan had beaten him so badly that he spat out blood.

Several other disciples of Congyun Sect rushed forward to intervene and pulled the two apart.

"Stop it! What are you all doing?!"

Just then.

At the front of the square, near the mountain gate, the elder responsible for the examination had been alerted by Qinchuan's fleeting murderous intent earlier.

Looking up, he saw the crowd disperse and several figures fighting fiercely in the center. He immediately grew furious and hurried over.

Hearing the scolding of the examination elder, Zhuo Bufan and Liu Qingyu finally stopped.

They were disciples responsible for maintaining order during the entrance exam, but now they were fighting each other and disrupting the order. Getting caught meant they would be punished by the sect.

After Elder Yuan arrived, Zhuo Bufan and Liu Qingyu had already separated.

"What happened, what were you doing just now?!"

Elder Yuan was a very imposing old man, his eyes sharp as he looked at the disheveled Zhuo Bufan and Liu Qingyu and shouted sternly.

Liu Qingyu didn't dare to reveal the fight with Zhuo Bufan, but he suddenly pointed at Qinchuan, saying to Elder Yuan, "Elder Yuan, your timing is perfect. This person has disregarded the dignity of our Congyun Sect, running amok here. He first hit my brother Liu Yuanjie, who came for the examination, and then when Brother Zhuo stepped forward to discipline this man, he unexpectedly dared to resist and even injured Brother Zhuo."

"Not only that, but he even attacked me. Please, Elder Yuan, severely punish this person to uphold the dignity of our Congyun Sect!"

Liu Qingyu thought quickly, and the words he spoke were also beyond reproach.

He merely avoided the fact that he and Zhuo Bufan had been fighting, placing all the blame on Qinchuan.

"Presumptuous!"

However, upon hearing Liu Qingyu's words, Elder Yuan glanced at Qinchuan and then immediately berated Liu Qingyu with a cold snort, "Hmph, Liu Qingyu, does this elder appear senile to you? Such words you can speak?!"

"Hmph, this young man only has sixteen traces of the years' Qi on him, a mere sixteen years of age, not yet a disciple of our Congyun Sect. And both you and Zhuo Bufan are inner sect disciples of our sect, with the cultivation of the Meridian Opening Realm. You say this person injured you? Do you think this elder is so easily fooled?"

Elder Yuan looked at Liu Qingyu with a very unfriendly gaze.

Seeing the situation, several disciples charged with maintaining order involuntarily exchanged glances with each other.

Liu Qingyu saw that Elder Yuan didn't believe him, and even got angry at him, so he became anxious and quickly spoke up, "Elder Yuan, every word I've said is true. If you don't believe me, why not ask the other senior and junior brothers? There are also others around who saw what happened."

Liu Yuanjie also spoke up at that moment, "Elder, what my elder brother said is all true. This kid disregarded the dignity and rules of the Congyun Sect and wantonly attacked others here. Look at me—these injuries on my body were all caused by him!"

Liu Yuanjie had a look of grievance on his face as he spoke to Elder Yuan. Both sides of his face were still swollen and had yet to subside, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, and his breathing appeared somewhat disordered, evidently from the injuries sustained earlier.

Upon hearing this, Elder Yuan couldn't help but frown and turned towards the other disciples maintaining order, asking, "Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, is this true?"

Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were precisely the other two disciples maintaining order. Hearing the question, they hesitated slightly before responding, "Reporting back to the elder, indeed, that's how things happened."

"What's there to hesitate about? If it's true, say so; if it's not, say it's not!"

Seeing Zhang Long and Zhao Hu hesitate for a moment before responding, Elder Yuan let out a cold snort.

Just then, a female voice suddenly came from the crowd, "Reporting back to the elder, indeed, that's the case!"

"It was indeed this person who started hitting others first, and then the brothers from the Congyun Sect stepped in intending to discipline him, only to end up being counterattacked and wounded by him!"

As her words fell, a young girl walked out from the crowd—it was none other than the Zhou Family's second young miss, Zhou Rong!

She had arrived at the Congyun Sect earlier, brought back by Liu Qingyu.

At that moment, she was also here to partake in the assessment, and only by passing would she be able to become an official disciple of the Congyun Sect.

When Qinchuan had taken action to teach Tang Yi and Liu Yuanjie a lesson earlier, she had noticed Qinchuan.

She had seen everything that had happened earlier.

Yet now, she also hid the fact that Liu Qingyu had deliberately stirred up trouble and came forward to vouch for Liu Qingyu, accusing Qinchuan of disrespecting the dignity and rules of the Congyun Sect.

"Hmph, Qinchuan, I originally saw that you had some talent and potential and regretted tearing up the engagement breakup letter on behalf of my sister. I hadn't realized you would be so decisive, insisting on breaking off the engagement!"

"However, I should now regret tearing up the breakup letter. After arriving at the Congyun Sect, I realized that my sister's popularity in the Congyun Sect is much higher than I imagined. There are so many people better than you, even the Young Sect Master of the Congyun Sect favors my sister greatly!"

"Compared with the Young Sect Master of the Congyun Sect, your talent and potential are as insignificant as dust!"

Zhou Rong thought to herself, looking at Qinchuan.

Hearing Zhou Rong's words, Elder Yuan's gaze instantly sharpened, "Hmm?"

He recognized Zhou Rong.

Because Zhou Rong was none other than Zhou Xi's younger sister.

He had been put in charge of this entry assessment and had already received a reminder from the Young Sect Master of the Congyun Sect to look out for Zhou Rong during the assessment.

However, on the surface, he pretended not to know Zhou Rong and asked, "Did you see everything that happened here clearly?"

Zhou Rong didn't hesitate and nodded, "Reporting back to the elder, what I just said is entirely true."

Elder Yuan nodded, then his gaze fell on Qinchuan. With furrowed eyebrows and a stern voice, he asked, "Did you hear what they said?"

"Did you just disturb the order here and hit Liu Qingyu and Zhuo Bufan?"

Seeing Elder Yuan questioning Qinchuan, both Liu Qingyu's and Liu Yuanji's eyes, as well as Zhou Rong's, revealed a trace of a cold smile.

"Hmph, Qinchuan, even if you're strong, can you possibly be stronger than an elder of my Congyun Sect?"

The three of them had scoffing thoughts, secretly sneering to themselves, looking at Qinchuan with a teasing gaze, hoping to see a hint of panic and unease on Qinchuan's face.
