"This... It's too terrifying. Did you see how he acted?"

"No, the speed was too fast. The disciples he knocked down were all in the early to middle stages of the Immortal Emperor realm. Such cultivation levels are completely insignificant in front of him."

"No wonder he can kill Yu Fengchen. If they really fought, a few disciples from the Northern Imperial Fragrance are probably no match for him. I think today, the Northern Imperial Fragrance is going to have a hard time stepping down."

There were whispers of shock throughout the entire Yuanqi Square. They all knew that the Northern Imperial Fragrance had truly met their match today.

"It's down to you now. Are you planning to apologize and bow like the others?"

Long Wuxian looked at the Northern Imperial Fragrance, showing no intention of letting him off.

"Long Wuxian, you've already hit my people, and they've avenged their grievances. I think we should end it here today. Let's agree to stay out of each other's way in the future. If you insist on causing trouble for me, there will be no benefits for you. I advise you to stop now. This is already the biggest concession I can make. Don't push it too far."

Northern Imperial Fragrance spoke.

For the Northern Imperial Fragrance, speaking these words was already a sign of submission. In her view, she had made the greatest concession possible. If Long Wuxian went too far, she, the Northern Imperial Fragrance, was not someone to be trifled with. It was impossible for her to bow and apologize to Feiyu and the others. She would not lower herself to that extent.

"Too far? Was your treatment of Feiyu and the others not too far? Perhaps in your eyes, you are the strong one and they are the weak ones, deserving to be bullied. If that's the case, then I have every right to bully you. Today, you've made a mistake, and you will bear the consequences!"

Long Wuxian said indifferently.

Then, a powerful aura burst out from within Long Wuxian, instantly enveloping the Northern Imperial Fragrance. With a swift motion of his arm, he slapped the Northern Imperial Fragrance hard.

Smack!

As expected, even though the Northern Imperial Fragrance was among the top ten in the outer sect, she couldn't evade Long Wuxian's slap at such a close range. The slap landed heavily on the Northern Imperial Fragrance's face.

Despite her formidable strength, the slap didn't knock the Northern Imperial Fragrance to the ground, but she staggered back, her cheek swollen and blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

"Long Wuxian, how dare you hit me?"

The Northern Imperial Fragrance was now furious. In the outer sect, no one had ever dared to hit her, not even Sister Feiyue. Everyone in the outer sect knew of her background. People usually avoided her, but today, Long Wuxian dared to slap her in front of so many disciples, a great humiliation.

Smack!

Before the Northern Imperial Fragrance could finish speaking, Long Wuxian slapped her on the other side of her face.

Roar...

Now infuriated, the Northern Imperial Fragrance drew a sharp sword and slashed towards Long Wuxian's head. After all, she was among the top ten on the rankings, and she still had some abilities. She couldn't fall so low as to be slapped around helplessly by a junior in the Immortal Emperor realm.

Hmph!

Long Wuxian snorted coldly. He flicked his index finger, releasing a bright electric light that erupted with thunderous sound, accurately striking the Northern Imperial Fragrance's wrist.

Crack!

Ah...

With a gasp, the weapon in the Northern Imperial Fragrance's hand flew out, and her wrist was too weak to hold onto it, leaving her staring dumbfoundedly at Long Wuxian.

...

"Another woman?" Yuanhui chuckled, covering her mouth. "I never expected, Master, that you would take advantage while Master Mother is seriously ill. It's really something, and Master Mother..."

Seeing Yuanhui's smug look, Long Wuxian immediately confronted Yuanhui's spiritual source, exerting some pressure on her mental strength.

"You disrespectful kid! Do you not know that I am older than your grandfather? Is this how you speak to your elders?"

"I don't recall ever acknowledging you as my Master, right? It's always you, who keeps calling yourself my Master. I can't even keep track anymore."

"Tch, that's because you have no charm! Just look at me, back then, the girls who liked me... Northern Yuxin can be considered one, right!"

...

"Women are really troublesome."

Long Wuxian shook his head. Although Northern Imperial Fragrance was also in the later stage of the Immortal Emperor realm and ranked in the top ten of the outer sect, her strength was incomparable to Yufengchen. There was a huge disparity between them.

Long Wuxian strode forward, reaching the Northern Imperial Fragrance and abruptly grabbing her arm, pulling her up forcefully.

This action truly infuriated the Northern Imperial Fragrance, sending her almost fainting with rage and disbelief.

The square erupted into commotion, numerous gazes filled with shock and fear.

This Long Wuxian not only possessed formidable strength but also acted decisively and ruthlessly. Even against Northern Imperial Fragrance, who had a strong background, he wouldn't hesitate to discipline her if she behaved willfully.

"You! Long Wuxian, if you harm me, you will regret it."

Although the Northern Imperial Fragrance was suppressed by Long Wuxian, she continued to shout, trying to uphold her remaining dignity through such behavior.

"If you say one more word, I will immediately cripple your cultivation. I want to see what the sect will do to me!"

Long Wuxian's tone was frigid as he coldly stated, causing the Northern Imperial Fragrance to feel as if she was plunging into hell, her entire body growing cold.

She could sense the chill in Long Wuxian's words, not daring to doubt their authenticity. Just as Zhang Tianze had said, if he crippled her, it would most likely be overlooked. The sect wouldn't truly punish a monstrous genius for the sake of a disabled person.

Real fear finally appeared on the face of the Northern Imperial Fragrance as she realized she had offended the wrong person. This was someone who had killed Yufengchen, and had a six-month battle agreement with the Heavenly Dragon. She began to understand that this person was capable of anything. Although she ranked in the top ten of the outer sect, she had neither the courage nor the strength to compete with Long Wuxian.

Long Wuxian released his grip on the Northern Imperial Fragrance's head, slowly standing up. His gaze swept over the Northern Imperial Fragrance and the others lying on the ground. In a calm tone, he said, "Listen up, each of you has three days to bring an Immortal-grade Spirit Stone and personally apologize to Feiyu and the others. Three days from now, I will be here waiting for you. If you don't show up, I will settle the score with you."

Long Wuxian's words struck the hearts of the Northern Imperial Fragrance and her companions like a heavy hammer. They had thought that the events of today had come to an end after being beaten by Long Wuxian. But now, it seemed it was far from over. Compensation and apologies were still required.

Long Wuxian's actions were meant to establish his authority in the One Qi Sect. Since the Northern Imperial Fragrance had a strong background, Long Wuxian was giving them three days to allow their backers a chance to intervene.

In the outer sect, there was no challenge for Long Wuxian. This was a perfect opportunity for him to meet the disciples from the inner sect.

The One Qi Sect was not like the small places in the Burning Sky City. It was not a regular place; it was a world of the survival of the fittest.

Having said that, Long Wuxian did not spare another glance at the Northern Imperial Fragrance and her group. He turned and walked away. Passing by Feixue, he said, "Have someone take Feiyu and the others back to heal."

"Yes, Senior Brother."

Feixue nodded slightly, and in her eyes, Long Wuxian's status underwent a new elevation.

As they watched Long Wuxian's figure disappear into the distance, Feiyu and Feihe, lying on the ground, and others, looked at him with admiration and gratitude.

They knew that everything Long Wuxian did today was to reclaim justice for them, to restore the dignity they had lost.

In that moment, they suddenly found their sense of existence. Even though they had been humiliated publicly today, they stood tall now.

Countless eyes watched as Long Wuxian finally disappeared from the Yuanqi Square, and then turned to look at Northern Imperial Fragrance and her group, who remained silent. They couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"This Long Wuxian is too brutal. He has already beaten Senior Sister Northern Imperial Fragrance like this, and now he insists on having her and the others apologize publicly in three days."

"This guy is fearless. We should stay clear of him in the future. But the matter with Senior Sister Northern Imperial Fragrance won't end here. I'm afraid Senior Sister Luoyu from the inner sect will make a move."

"But Senior Sister Luoyu is someone we really can't afford to provoke. Although her cultivation is only in the later stage of the Immortal Emperor realm, even in the inner sect, no one dares to provoke her. She has a senior brother who is an elder of the sect, and her father is the City Lord of Wind and Snow City, a Saint Emperor expert. Even the elders of our One Qi Sect would give her some face."

"Let's see, in three days, it's probably going to be even more eventful than today. Senior Sister Luoyu from the inner sect is used to being arrogant and domineering, disregarding everyone. Now that her people have been beaten in the outer sect, she's definitely going to take action."

The crowd buzzed with discussion. What was supposed to be a quiet cultivation session had turned into a major incident. Many believed that Long Wuxian, being new to the One Qi Sect, had no idea how strong Northern Imperial Fragrance's backing was, hence his audacity. Perhaps in three days, things would take a different turn.

However, conflicts and confrontations like these sparked by disputes over resources such as the cultivation platform were common. Usually, if the cultivations were evenly matched, they would directly battle to determine the outcome. If they encountered someone difficult to deal with like Lu Liang, they would simply give up.

But today, because of Long Wuxian's support, Feiyu and the others felt empowered and dared to confront Northern Imperial Fragrance. Hence, the significant conflict that had unfolded.

Shortly after Northern Imperial Fragrance left, Feixue and her companions carried Feiyu and the others away, while the Northern Imperial Fragance's group also disappeared, taking their injured members with them.

The remaining individuals continued to cultivate in the Yuanqi Square, but most of them engaged in lively discussions, unable to truly focus.

As for the higher-ups and elders of the One Qi Sect, they never made an appearance throughout the entire incident.

With a huge sect like the One Qi Sect and thousands of disciples, conflicts like these were too common, and the authorities not only didn't intervene, but seemed to encourage them.

In this world of the survival of the fittest, strength was paramount, and conflicts were inevitable. Without these challenges, true growth would be impossible.

Therefore, as long as no lives were at stake, elders would typically not interfere.
