Master Tang Chen’s oppressive might was directed at Master Beast Tamer.
As a friend of Old Daoist Ox-Nose, he wanted to seek justice for Chu Feng.
However, no matter how strong his might was, it couldn’t reach Master Beast Tamer.
It was blocked.
The countering force was also the might of the Martial Dignity realm, coming from Ghost-Face Heavenly Dignitary.
“Ghost-Face, before you protect him, you’d better understand the situation.”
“Beast Tamer used despicable means to ambush Chu Feng. He deserves death.”
“Today, I must teach him a lesson.”
Master Tang Chen said.
“Tang Chen, don’t slander others.”
However, Master Beast Tamer refused to admit his actions. Knowing Ghost-Face Heavenly Dignitary would back him, he showed no fear of Master Tang Chen.
“Beast Tamer, you dare to act but not admit it?”
“That day, you made a bet with young friend Chu Feng, having your disciple spar with him. If your disciple lost, you’d hand over the Ancient Spirit Domain map fragment.”
“Your disciple was defeated, and you did hand over the map fragment.”
“But who would’ve thought you’d be so vile, hiding a Spirit Ghost Talisman Insect in the map fragment.”
Master Tang Chen accused Master Beast Tamer of his crime.
“A Spirit Ghost Talisman Insect in the map fragment?”
“That’s too vicious, isn’t it?”
Hearing Master Tang Chen’s words, the crowd exclaimed at Master Beast Tamer’s ruthlessness.
“Tang Chen, you’re slandering me.”
“You stole my Ancient Spirit Domain map fragment and now accuse me.”
“If you’re going to frame me, at least find a better excuse. You claim I hid a Spirit Ghost Talisman Insect in the map fragment.”
“Everyone here knows what a Spirit Ghost Talisman Insect is.”
“If I had really placed one, would Chu Feng be standing here unharmed?”
“He’d likely be a corpse by now.”
Master Beast Tamer not only denied it but continued to argue.
Yet, his words seemed reasonable to the crowd.
It wasn’t that they doubted Master Tang Chen’s character, but they knew about the Spirit Ghost Talisman Insect.
Because of this knowledge, they understood its terrifying nature.
Even with Chu Feng’s exceptional talent, given his limited cultivation, if a Spirit Ghost Talisman Insect had entered his body, he would surely have died.
“The fact is, the Spirit Ghost Talisman Insect did enter Chu Feng’s body. But because of his extraordinary talent, he forcibly refined it, which is why he stands here unharmed.”
Master Tang Chen said.
“Refined the Spirit Ghost Talisman Insect?”
“Is that true?”
A clamor erupted in the void, as people found it hard to believe.
The Spirit Ghost Talisman Insect was notorious, its terror proven by countless lives lost.
Even with Chu Feng’s remarkable talent, people didn’t believe he could refine it using his abilities.
“Listen to this. Does that sound like something a person would say?”
“Claiming someone could refine a Spirit Ghost Talisman Insect with talent.”
“Even his lies are so half-hearted, treating everyone like fools.”
“Now you see who’s lying and who’s slandering, don’t you?”
Master Beast Tamer said smugly.
“So, if young friend Chu Feng could refine the Spirit Ghost Talisman Insect, it would mean Master Tang Chen isn’t lying, but you are?”
Suddenly, a charming voice spoke up.
It was Fairy Muzhi.
“Hmph, even if he could refine it, it doesn’t prove I ambushed him.”
“On the contrary, it’s a fact that Master Tang Chen stole my Ancient Spirit Domain map fragment.”
Master Beast Tamer continued to argue, but his earlier confidence had waned.
He was panicking, as Chu Feng standing there unharmed was a fact.
Though he didn’t know how Chu Feng had escaped the Spirit Ghost Talisman Insect, what if Master Tang Chen was telling the truth?
He wasn’t willing to test it.
“Beast Tamer, saying that makes you sound guilty.”
Fairy Muzhi said with a smile.
“Guilty of what? Tang Chen stole my map fragment and framed me.” Master Beast Tamer insisted.
“Then how can you prove Tang Chen stole your map fragment?”
Fairy Muzhi asked.
“My disciple can testify.”
Master Beast Tamer said.
At this, Fairy Muzhi shook her head repeatedly.
Some in the crowd couldn’t help but laugh.
Having his disciple testify was absurd.
At this point, comparing their characters made it clear who was lying.
Based on their past actions and reputations, there was no doubt Master Tang Chen wouldn’t lie.
But his claim that Chu Feng refined the Spirit Ghost Talisman Insect with talent was too far-fetched.
This made people question the full credibility of Master Tang Chen’s words.
Seeing Master Beast Tamer’s persistent denials, Master Tang Chen’s expression grew darker. He prepared to speak again, determined to settle the matter.
But before he could, Chu Feng spoke first.
“Forget it, senior. Why waste words with such a petty person?”
“Besides, this is my grudge with him. In the future, I’ll settle it myself.”
“Let him off for today.”
Chu Feng said.
Chu Feng didn’t want Master Tang Chen to argue with Master Beast Tamer.
Nor did he want Master Tang Chen to fight Ghost-Face Heavenly Dignitary over him.
He wanted to handle his own affairs.
“No. That day, he ambushed you, and I was there.”
“I failed to protect you, which was my negligence. This isn’t just your matter, it’s mine too.”
With that, Master Tang Chen’s might surged again, pressing toward Master Beast Tamer from all directions.
But it was still blocked by Ghost-Face Heavenly Dignitary’s might.
“Tang Chen, Beast Tamer is my friend. I don’t care about your grievances or who’s right or wrong.”
“Today, give me some face. At least… don’t attack him in front of me.”
Ghost-Face Heavenly Dignitary said.
“And if I insist on attacking him?” Master Tang Chen asked.
“Refusing face, are you?”
“Hmph, go ahead and try. See if you can get past me.”
Ghost-Face Heavenly Dignitary’s expression darkened.
His already eerie face, paired with his feminine voice, became somewhat terrifying.
But who was Master Tang Chen to fear Ghost-Face Heavenly Dignitary?
The two stood in opposition, neither backing down.
As their invisible might clashed, space began to crack, the void trembled, and waves of pressure swept forth.
Though they hadn’t formally fought, many onlookers were already affected.
Rumble—
Suddenly, a series of roars came from the direction of the Ancient Spirit Domain.
Looking toward the sound, everyone’s eyes lit up.
The ground in the Ancient Spirit Domain was cracking and collapsing.
From the fissures, beams of light emerged.
The light surged upward, piercing the clouds and reaching the heavens.
Seeing this, everyone grew excited.
Even Master Tang Chen and Ghost-Face Heavenly Dignitary set aside their conflict, turning their gazes toward it.
The light was so sacred, emanating from the depths of the Ancient Spirit Domain.
Everyone realized.
The long-awaited Ancient Spirit Domain had finally opened!!!
