As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere around them immediately became tense. Almost everyone present changed their expressions and looked at Pei Yun with incredible eyes.

They thought that Pei Yun, as a genius, would be proud and unwilling to give in, but they did not expect that she would fight back so mercilessly. This was equivalent to a slap in the face of Li Wu.

Sure enough, Li Wu, who had been smiling playfully, suddenly turned ferocious. He stared coldly into Pei Yun's eyes, looking as fierce as a savage beast.

"...You, a little girl, actually speak so arrogantly. Do you really think that you can do whatever you want just because you are called a genius? You should know that geniuses are the most abundant thing in this City Lord's Mansion. What's more, you are not even an official disciple of my City Lord's Mansion..."

Hearing this, Pei Yun couldn't help but chuckle and said sarcastically: "You should say this to yourself. Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because of your seniority or a backer... Besides, I don't know if the City Lord's Mansion is short of geniuses. I only know that I am more talented than you..."

"You..." Li Wu was angered by her words and was about to say something back.

Several young disciples dressed in gorgeous clothes came over...

"Li Wu's brother Li Wen is here!"

"And the city lord's personal disciples are here too. It's going to be a good show to watch..."

When the disciples around saw Li Wen coming over with a group of his direct disciples, they consciously made way for him and waited to watch the show.

"Brother." Li Wu walked to Li Wen and shook his head at him secretly.

He had originally received instructions from Li Wen to give Pei Yun a warning and test her attitude, but Pei Yun came up and confronted him bluntly without any scruples.

Pei Yun sneered in her heart when she saw the real boss coming. She glanced at the crowd and found two familiar figures. They were Sheng Wenjue and Mu Mi, the two direct disciples of Lord Weicheng who participated in the previous treasure hunt.

"...Fellow Daoist Pei, I wonder how my brother has offended you that you are slandering him like this?"

Li Wen's hypocritical behavior reminded Pei Yun of Qi Hengnan, who had similar behavior, and he felt even more disgusted with him.

"You don't know what your brother did just now! Who are you showing off your hypocritical behavior to? Do you think I'm a fool? Or do you think all the disciples watching here are fools?"

Pei Yun rudely tore off the hypocritical face of the person opposite him, and everyone around him couldn't help but gasp.

They never expected that the genius in front of them would be so reckless. He overturned the table as soon as he came up, without any smart behavior of stopping when necessary and giving others a way out.

"How dare you! You are not even a formal disciple of the City Lord's Mansion, yet you dare to say this about Senior Brother Li? You really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is! You think you are a big shot just because others praise you as a genius. If you have the guts, try to compete with our Senior Brother Li..."

A young woman appeared behind Li Wen and looked at Pei Yun with disdain.

Li Wen raised his eyes and glanced at Pei Yun solemnly, pursed his lips, and finally maintained a smile on his face: "Fellow Daoist Pei misunderstood, my brother just heard of your reputation as a genius, and wanted to see your alchemy skills..."

"You make blackmail sound so refreshing. You are as shameless as your brother..." Pei Yun smiled and shook his head.

"Pei Yun!" Li Wen's face darkened. "I have been trying to persuade them to reconcile, but you have been making sarcastic remarks. Do you really think that the disciples of the City Lord's Mansion are easy to bully, or are you relying on your reputation as a genius to bully others..."

"Please look at the group of people behind you. The words 'bullying others by taking advantage of one's power' should be applied to you. I was preparing to leave, but first your brother stopped me and blackmailed me, and then you inexplicably stopped me and made me feel sorry for your brother. It seems that this big drama was played out by you two brothers..."

After Pei Yun finished speaking, there was complete silence around him. They were all stunned by Pei Yun's boldness.

"...You said my brother was blackmailing you. What did he blackmail you of? What evidence do you have?" Li Wen didn't expect that this little girl was so eloquent that he was stunned by her retort.

"What evidence do I need for something I have seen with my own eyes and heard with my own ears..."

"You said it was extortion, then I said you framed my brother! There are so many people here, did anyone see my brother extorting money?"

As Li Wen spoke, he looked around. All the disciples avoided his gaze and took a few steps back.

"...I saw it!" Qu Fanwu hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward and came to Pei Yun's side, "Not only did your brother want to blackmail Fellow Daoist Pei, he also blackmailed me for the elixir long before..."

Before Qu Fanwu entered the City Lord's Mansion, he had longed to go there. But now that he has really entered, he is somewhat disappointed by the personnel struggles.

"...Who do you think you are? Neither of you are formal disciples of our City Lord's Mansion. You have only obtained the qualification of temporary residence. How dare you slander the disciples of our City Lord's Mansion like this..."

"You said that we are not disciples of the City Lord's Mansion, so we are slandering your brother, right... What if other people also saw what your brother did?"

"Others? Who are they?" Li Wenxiong was confident. He didn't believe that apart from Qu Fanwu, there was anyone else who would dare to offend him and testify for Pei Yun.

Pei Yun raised his hand to signal him to turn around. Everyone turned around curiously and saw Elder Qian walking towards them with a stern face.

"Elder Qian!"

"Greetings, Elder Qian."

Everyone bowed and saluted. Li Wen's disciples and Li Wu's group were a little panicked. They never expected that Elder Qian was watching nearby. It was clear that their spiritual sense had not detected the elders' presence before.

“Hmph! How dare you, a group of disciples, act so recklessly and bully the new disciples? I will report the matter to the city lord truthfully…” Elder Qian originally came to look for Pei Yun, but he did not expect to see such a shameful scene.

"Elder Qian, you misunderstood. We are not bullying Pei Yun, it’s just, just…" Li Wen stepped forward eagerly to explain.

"You're not going to say that I slandered your brother, are you?" Elder Qian said sarcastically, "... instead of focusing on refining the elixir, you're good at bullying others. I think the city lord should discipline you..."

Wei Cheng has been in the Dan Temple in Dongcangzhou for many years and seldom comes back to preside over the overall situation. The morale of the people in the City Lord's Mansion has been demoralized, and Elder Qian couldn't help but sigh.

"... Elder Qian, it was my fault. It has nothing to do with my brother. I wanted to see Fellow Daoist Pei's alchemy skills, but I was a little rude and offended her. It has nothing to do with my brother. He doesn't understand the situation..."

Li Wu knelt down and took all the responsibility.

Pei Yun was somewhat impressed by Li Wu's decisiveness, but she was not a fool, and neither was Elder Qian. Any normal person could see that Li Wen was the mastermind behind this incident.

"When you get to the city lord, you can talk to him yourself!" Elder Qian waved his sleeves fiercely, no longer paying attention to the group of people, and said to Pei Yun, "Pei Yun, the city lord wants to see you, come with me."

"Yes." Pei Yun responded, and nodded to Qu Fanwu before leaving with Elder Qian.

Everyone present looked at the backs of Pei Yun and the other man with complicated expressions. They thought that since Pei Yun had such an amazing talent in alchemy, the city lord would definitely accept him as his disciple.

The faces of Li Wen and Li Wu were pale and blue, and they could not hide their anxiety and uneasiness.

On the way to meet Wei Cheng, Elder Qian gave Pei Yun a meaningful look and asked with a smile, "Little girl, did you know that I saw you fighting with the Li brothers nearby?"

Pei Yun smiled without saying anything. She had indeed noticed Elder Qian's presence as soon as he walked into the Lecture Hall.

Unexpectedly, Li Wu bumped into her, and Qu Fanwu secretly told her about this person's evil deeds, so she deliberately provoked them with words to force them to reveal their true nature.

Pei Yun followed Elder Qian across a suspended bridge and arrived at a palace on the top of the mountain.

"...Old Qian is here!" An old man with a white beard was sitting cross-legged in front of the windowsill, watering the spiritual herbs in front of him with spiritual liquid.

"City Lord."

"Junior Pei Yun pays homage to the City Lord."

"Oh!... Are you Pei Yun?" Wei Cheng raised his head and looked at the person in front of him with interest.

This scene was exactly the same as the scene that Pei Yun had seen in the Gate of Time and Space before, which made her heart skip a beat.

Will the scenes seen in the gate of time and space really appear in front of you one by one?

Luo Rufeng was covered in blood, Pei Shi was in doubt about his life or death, and Ye Li was killing the people...
