What were Long Potian and the Long Family elders just discussing in the great hall?

That’s right.

They were discussing Tiegu Sect!

They were even thinking about finding a few more ordinary direct descendants to join this sect and see if they could be cultivated into talents.

Now the young man standing on the martial arts training ground actually claimed to be the Iron Bones Clanging Sect’s Sect Master—this was somewhat unexpected, somewhat ridiculous!

Long Potian said incredulously, “You’re Jun Changxiao?”

The Long Family had heard of his name?

Jun Changxiao immediately felt a bit smug, but also said very seriously, “My name remains unchanged in action or rest—I am indeed Jun Changxiao.”

These martial world words were spoken quite beautifully.

However, what they brought in return was a bout of suspicion and doubt from the Long Family elders.

The news did say that Tiegu Sect’s Sect Master was young, but Longyang City was at least over two thousand li away from Qingyang City—how could he be here?

“Ziyang.”

Long Potian looked at Long Ziyang and said in a deep voice, “Is this true?”

He also wasn’t certain and could only ask his son, since he was the one who brought them.

“Father, it’s true!” Long Ziyang said honestly.

“Hmph.”

The Second Elder, who had forcibly held back his technique and nearly suffered internal injuries from it, said with a sullen face, “Who knows if he’s just some random person pretending!”

“In my opinion.”

The Third Elder said, “Ziyang was worried about being punished for running away from home, so he found outsiders to pretend.”

It wasn’t that their intelligence was low.

Rather, it was that Long Ziyang suddenly bringing back the recently prominent Tiegu Sect’s Sect Master was simply too unrealistic!

“Ziyang.”

An elder teased, “You brought back a commandery sect master—why didn’t you bring back the Night Emperor who fell thousands of years ago and let us take a look?”

Everyone immediately laughed merrily.

Ye Xingchen was startled.

He hadn’t expected this insignificant small family to have actually heard of this emperor’s imperial title.

Of course, bringing back the Night Emperor was just teasing.

In reality, Long Ziyang really had brought the Night Emperor over, but not the original—rather, his reborn body.

Long Potian also had doubts. After all, his son had run away from home for so long. Worried about punishment, finding people to act out a play was very possible.

Jun Changxiao was depressed.

In the past, others thought he didn’t seem like a sect master. Now they didn’t believe he was Tiegu Sect’s Sect Master. Could this get any more ridiculous!

It could.

Depending on my mood.

“Sect Master Jun, is it?”

Long Potian cupped his hands, saying, “Seeing is believing!”

Please!

Could you be a bit more sincere!

The expression on your face shows you completely don’t believe I’m Tiegu Sect’s Sect Master!

“Family Head!”

The Second Elder said, “Whether this boy is Tiegu Sect’s Sect Master or not, let me test him and we’ll know!”

“This…”

Long Potian said very conflicted, “Sect Master Jun, what do you think?”

“Makes no difference to me.” Jun Changxiao shrugged.

He knew that this “test” was actually going to be a fight.

“Whoosh whoosh!”

The Second Elder’s sleeves billowed up again, streams of pure spiritual energy erupting outward.

“Rank Six high-grade Wuzong.”

The System analyzed, “Strength around 270,000 jin.”

“Only high-grade? Only 270,000?”

Jun Changxiao didn’t take it seriously, since as a Rank Two supreme-grade Wuzong, his strength was already close to 350,000 jin.

“Sect Master.”

Just then, Long Ziyang said via voice transmission, “Please, for this disciple’s sake, don’t be too heavy-handed!”

The punch that instantly knocked out a Rank Two Wuwang on the Life and Death Arena was still fresh in his memory and filled him with admiration. He was afraid the Sect Master would accidentally pummel the Second Elder to death.

Going to manage family businesses had been the Second Elder’s suggestion.

Normally, he hadn’t been sparing in targeting him either.

Naturally, Long Ziyang wasn’t pleading with the Sect Master out of concern for him—mainly he was worried the sect and family would form a grudge because of this.

“Mm.”

Jun Changxiao said, “For your sake, I’ll go easy on him.”

Long Ziyang probably didn’t know that this guy could instantly knock out a Rank Two Wuwang entirely because of the middle-grade Strength Amplification Talisman.

Now with nothing, wanting to pummel the Second Elder to death definitely couldn’t be done with one or two punches.

“Sect Master Jun.”

The Second Elder said coldly, “Are you ready?”

Jun Changxiao put one hand behind his back and raised the other, smiling as he said, “Please enlighten me.”

“Whoosh whoosh!”

The Second Elder’s hands circled in the void, and the powerful spiritual energy also rotated along like flowing water.

“Dragon’s Roar Through Nine Heavens!”

He suddenly pushed out both palms. Within the circular spiritual energy mass that formed, a dragon beast that seemed both real and illusory immediately manifested, dragging its long body as it roared forward!

“Whoosh whoosh!”

Wild winds howled, vigorous energy rampaged!

That dragon beast manifested by martial technique was not only imposing in momentum but also extremely lifelike—definitely a million times better than the five-cent special effects in domestic dramas!

Jun Changxiao stood on the martial arts training ground, his black hair blown into wild dance, revealing a face that was calm and unruffled yet deadly handsome.

Only… his eyes were closed.

Seeing this, the Long Family elders all sneered.

This guy definitely knew he couldn’t dodge, so he chose to give up. As long as it hit him, he definitely wasn’t Tiegu Sect’s Sect Master!

Everyone had heard about Jun Changxiao’s matters.

Not to mention instantly knocking out a Rank Two Wuwang on the Life and Death Arena at the mountain’s foot, he had even defeated the Sect Master at Saint Spring Sect.

This move of the Second Elder’s had strength around 300,000 jin. If he couldn’t withstand it, he was definitely a fake.

Boy, cooperating with that kid Ziyang to act—you’ll have to pay a price!

Strangely enough, facing the roaring dragon beast, even though Li Qingyang and the others clearly saw Jun Changxiao with his eyes closed, they had no worry whatsoever.

This level of strength was very strong to them, but wanting to harm the Sect Master was really quite fanciful.

“Fire, the essence of Mars.”

“Its nature is propriety. Those who seek matters of the heart, respond to them with propriety, and all people can follow their will…”

As the dragon beast attacked, Jun Changxiao, standing proudly, silently recited the incantation in his heart.

The Exquisite Fire within his dantian became restless, instantly forming a fire net that enveloped his spirit core and air spirals from multiple sources.

“Swoosh!”

Suddenly, Jun Changxiao opened his eyes, two clusters of scorching flames flickering in his pupils.

“Whoosh whoosh!”

In an instant, magnificent flames spread around his entire body.

His black hair and eyebrows seemed to turn crimson red under the flames’ rendering.

Lu Qianqian’s expression was astonished.

The intensity erupting from the flames the Sect Master released made her, an ice-element martial cultivator, feel somewhat uneasy.

More than just her, Ye Xingchen was also greatly shocked.

As for Long Potian and the others, they were a bit far away. When they felt the scorching heat wave assault them, they hadn’t made any expression yet when Jun Changxiao had already raised his hand and slashed down.

“Crimson Sky Blazing Flame Slash!”

“Whoosh whoosh!”

As the words fell, the rising flames instantly converged together, howling in the direction his palm fell, and during the swift movement, transformed into a flame palm in the shape of a blade!

“Hiss hiss hiss—”

The flames collided violently with the air, transmitting crackling sounds!

“Not good!”

The Second Elder’s face changed abruptly.

He wanted to withdraw his technique, but it was already too late…

Boom!

The scorching flame palm domineeringly crashed into the roaring dragon beast, directly scattering the converged spiritual energy and instantly evaporating it all!

“Thud thud thud!”

His technique broken, the Second Elder’s figure retreated violently. He retreated all the way to the great hall entrance, his arms grasping the door frame, his ten fingers sinking into the doorframe before he could barely stabilize himself with difficulty.

“Wah!”

His meridians in chaos, he spat out fresh blood.

One word: tragic!

“Swoosh!”

Jun Changxiao waved his sleeve, and the flame palm permeating the area between the great hall and martial arts training ground instantly dispersed, transforming into wisps of fire-element energy that returned to his body.

From making the move, to everyone’s psychological reactions, to the Second Elder vomiting blood—it seemed lengthy but actually occurred in a flash.

Long Potian was dumbfounded.

The Long Family elders were also dumbfounded.

Li Qingyang, Xiao Ziji, and the others standing behind Sect Master Jun also widened their eyes. Clearly, even they hadn’t expected the Sect Master would suddenly unleash such a powerful technique!

Ye Xingchen and Lu Qianqian firmly affirmed in their hearts: “This is definitely a Divine-grade martial technique!”
