To Qi Tian, Zhang Chenghua’s Nascent Soul aura was nothing much, but for Huang Liuyan it was like a mouse encountering a cat. The suppression from the bloodline made her utterly incapable of resisting, and she could only shudder uncontrollably.

Qi Tian quickly pulled Huang Liuyan behind him, frowned at Zhang Chenghua, and said, “Vice President Zhang, do you have no shame at all? Lacking the ability to secure a guest room for yourself, you turn your anger on someone like Sister Yan, a mere woman. How do you plan to gloss over such thuggish behavior when you get back to Wanjie City?”

With a cold snort, Zhang Chenghua showed no sign of feeling in the wrong and didn’t intend to rein in his Nascent Soul aura at all. Instead, he intensified his output and pressed it towards Qi Tian. Now that they were in the Holy Land, he not only wanted to vent his resentment over not having a guest room reserved by Qi Tian but also to disrupt Qi Tian’s composure and crush his spirit, causing Qi Tian’s mind to become chaotic and his will to sink. In this state, Qi Tian would likely underperform in the Holy Land competition, perhaps only able to wield seventy or eighty percent of his abilities. At that rate, Qi Tian might well fall during the competition, and Zhang Chenghua could then celebrate with a pot of wine.

“Zhang Chenghua, what do you think you’re doing?”

At that moment, Lu Songsheng rushed over after hearing the commotion. Although his guest room wasn’t next to Qi Tian’s, the distance wasn’t far, and he had been paying close attention to the situation here. Moreover, Zhang Chenghua’s entourage had a good twenty people, which was hard to ignore.

Lu Songsheng had always maintained the bare minimum of respect for Zhang Chenghua and would not have called him out by name if he weren’t extremely angry.

Zhang Chenghua had never considered Lu Songsheng a rival; in his eyes, the only person worthy of being his opponent was President Zhu Chaolun of Wanjie Commerce, not Vice President Lu Songsheng. He waved his hand dismissively, as if shooing a fly, and said, “This has nothing to do with you. It’s between me and Qi Tian. You’d better not interfere.”

On his way there, Lu Songsheng didn’t want to clash directly with Zhang Chenghua, so as to maintain the unity of his group. But now the situation was different—Zhang Chenghua had already stretched his claws towards Qi Tian right before him. If Lu Songsheng ignored this, allowing Qi Tian to get hurt, it would derail his hope for Qi Tian to find good opportunities in the Holy Land competition, which would be a disadvantage for both Wanjie Commerce and himself. Naturally, he would not allow this to happen.

Lu Songsheng signaled a few of his sect members with a glance. He had brought three Nascent Soul Masters with him this time, and upon receiving his cue, all three, along with Lu Songsheng, released their Nascent Soul auras and clashed with Zhang Chenghua’s.

Zhang Chenghua was not alone either; he also had companions, and like Wanjie Commerce, he had brought three Nascent Soul Masters with him. Without instructions from Zhang Chenghua, those three Nascent Soul Masters released their auras as well, meeting the challenge from Lu Songsheng and his group.

Suddenly, auras from the eight Nascent Soul Masters, including Zhang Chenghua and Lu Songsheng, intertwined, colliding and entangling with one another, resulting in a stalemate.

Other people from Wanjie City simply couldn’t stand a chance in such a situation and began to dodge, lest they got caught in the crossfire. Yet, even so, some who were a bit slower ended up suffering losses, with the worst affected spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Others might not be able to clearly determine whether the Ink Flood Dragon Association or Wanjie Commerce was stronger, but to Qi Tian, it was a piece of cake. Using the sensing function of the Heavenly Dao Engine, he assessed the battle between the two sides’ Nascent Soul auras and reached a conclusion in the blink of an eye.

The gap in strength between the battling parties was negligible, almost imperceptible. This confrontation, if they were to determine a winner, would be a long process, not something that could end in a short time.

Qi Tian knew that there were many rules for outsiders in the Holy Land, including a strict prohibition against fighting, especially in an establishment like an inn. Violating this would have severe consequences.

Though not a participant in the fight, Qi Tian was the spark that ignited it. Should the disturbance alert the people of the Holy Land, he too would be punished and could well be expelled from the Holy Land, ruining any chances of participating in the competition the day after tomorrow.

Qi Tian didn’t want such an outcome. Casting a glance at the clashing parties, his mind moved, and he stealthily took action.

His right hand dangled down, the palm’s dark vortex opened quietly, and he released several strands of Transporting Whirlwind. These whirlwinds plunged straight into the heart of the battlefield, following Qi Tian’s instructions, and began to sweep up the Nascent Soul aura released by the four masters of the Ink Flood Dragon Association, instantly dissipating a large portion of their aura.

Zhang Chenghua and his group, who were exerting their full strength to project their Nascent Soul aura, were caught off guard when a large chunk suddenly vanished. It felt as if they were poking something forcefully with a bamboo pole, when it suddenly snapped off, leaving them grasping at air. They were involuntarily caught in a tremor that was extremely uncomfortable.
