I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

The others had different expressions and different thoughts, but they all agreed that no one thought Qin Ge was arrogant.

Yi Han was in a fit of anger and had lost his temper, but they had clearly heard what Feng Shuofang said.

Who is Feng Shuofang? He is one of the four deputy hall masters of the Shadow Martial Hall headquarters, a master of the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm, only one step away from becoming a Grandmaster!

What does it mean that such a person actually admits he is no match for Qin Ge?

Qin Ge is at least a Grandmaster!

Is it possible for a master to be this age?

You can't tell at all!

Could it be that Feng Shuofang had already fought Qin Ge and lost, which is why he invited Qin Ge back?

In fact, Feng Shuofang's belief that he was no match for Qin Ge was merely a guess.

He was on good terms with Han Che and had heard Han Che talk about the battle at Wangjiang Pavilion in Jiangcheng, so he judged that Qin Ge was likely already a Grandmaster.

That's why the head of the hall treats Qin Ge differently!

In addition, he is humble and easygoing, and readily admits that he is no match for Qin Ge, which is not a big deal to him.

"Old man Yi, you're not quite right about that!"

Qin Ge walked slowly towards Yi Han. "You clearly told me to hit him, so how come it's my fault now?"

"You old fool, if you keep trying to cheat me, I'm going to continue!"

The eyelids of the people near Yi Han twitched, and they quickly shielded him behind them.

Given the power of Qin Ge's slap just now, if he were to deliver two more blows like that, the old man would probably be in for his funeral.

"No matter how eloquent you are, the fact remains that you physically assaulted someone!"

"Headquarters isn't a place you can run wild. Go ahead and try touching me again!"

Seeing that someone was standing on his side, Yi Han immediately regained his confidence.

He deliberately provoked Qin Ge, escalating the conflict. Once it reached an irreconcilable point, Qin Ge would undoubtedly die if they started fighting!

Since someone is protecting him, if Qin Ge wants to make another move, he'll have to hurt others first.

Qin Ge was amused again. "You all heard that this time, right? He asked for it himself, so it would be impolite of me not to hit him!"

"As a respectful and caring young person, I generally try my best to meet the needs of the elderly!"

Yi Han's eyelids twitched, a bad premonition creeping in, but looking at the person blocking his way, he still steeled himself and said, "Stop bluffing!"

"Do you think the people at headquarters are made of clay?"

"Of the six people in front of you, four are experts at the Innate Realm. If you want to make a move, you'll have to get past them first!"

Qin Ge raised an eyebrow. "Did you guys hear that?"

"This old man wants to use you as cannon fodder!"

"Those who are smart should step aside. I'll only hit him. If you're willing to be treated like fools, then protect him, and I'll beat you all up too!"

"Naive!" Yi Han laughed. "You think you can sow discord with just a few words..."

He stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence, and the smile on his face froze.

The six people blocking his way moved aside in perfect unison, revealing Qin Ge's smiling face to him.

Yi Han was screaming inwardly, "No, we're all adults! You can't do such childish things!"

You kids are so childish, what am I supposed to do?

"Snap—"

Qin Ge raised her hand and slapped Yi Han again, sending him flying once more.

This time, no one helped him up, and they all felt quite relieved.

That old man Yi Han is really going too far. Others are kindly protecting him, but he treats them like fools and uses them as pawns time and time again!

Even Master Feng himself admitted that he was no match for Qin Ge. Are you still trying to incite us to fight Qin Ge and send us to our deaths?

How hateful!

Qin Ge clapped his hands in satisfaction. "Is there anyone else who wants to fight me?"

"If not, I'm going to have tea with Master Feng!"

No one spoke, but they all moved in unison, blocking all possible escape routes for Qin Ge.

"Let me see what I've got!"

A voice rang out from behind the crowd, and then a figure appeared above them, carrying a cement pillar as thick as a water bucket.

"Take this!"

The man greeted them, then lifted a cement pillar and hurled it at Qin Ge through the air.

"Qiu Ang! Don't do anything reckless!"

Under the combined force of manpower and gravity, the cement pillar, with immense power, pressed down like Mount Tai, causing Feng Shuofang to exclaim in surprise.

Qin Ge's pupils contracted slightly. Without flinching or dodging, he raised his palm to block one end of the cement pillar.

The cement pillar stopped moving instantly, but Qin Ge's body remained completely still.

"Not bad, you've got some skill!"

Qiu Ang was slightly startled and increased the pressure on the end of the cement pillar.

From initially giving three points of effort, it increased to five points, then to seven points, and finally to giving it your all.

Qin Ge remained motionless and calm.

"Well done!"

Qiu Ang was deeply shocked and was pondering how to deal with it when his expression suddenly changed drastically.

"boom--"

The cement pillar shattered with a deafening roar, and Qiu Ang felt a surging force rushing towards his face like a tidal wave.

Before he could react, his body was thrown backward uncontrollably.

Two experts at the Heavenly Realm reacted quickly and simultaneously tried to stop Qiu Ang, but not only did they fail, they were also blasted away.

Seeing this, the others dared not make a move and instinctively dodged to the sides.

"Boom!"

Qiu Ang's body crashed into the artificial hill dozens of meters away, causing the boulder to collapse and sending debris flying.

Qiu Ang was buried in the rubble, and his fate is unknown.

"Master Qiu!"

Those who were closer rushed forward, while the others blocked Qin Ge, and Feng Shuofang was also ready to attack.

"I'm fine!"

Qiu Ang stood up from the pile of rubble, dusted himself off, and looked quite disheveled.

He chuckled to cover his embarrassment, "It seems Old Feng wasn't lying; Hall Master Qin's strength is indeed unfathomable!"

"I'm no match for him, I've made a fool of myself!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was greatly surprised.

What I heard Feng Shuofang say before and what I saw with my own eyes now are two different things. Qiu Ang is one of the four deputy hall masters of the headquarters, and his strength is no less than that of Feng Shuofang!

Seeing Qiu Ang walking towards Qin Ge, Feng Shuofang quickly stepped between the two, "Qiu Ang, don't act rashly, it's not time to solve this problem by force yet!"

Qiu Ang rolled his eyes at Feng Shuofang. "What are you so nervous about!"

"I've already said I'm no match for Hall Master Qin, so why are you still acting recklessly?"

"By the way, Lao Feng, how many moves did you exchange with Hall Master Qin before you lost?"

Feng Shuofang breathed a sigh of relief, then joked, "You think everyone's as reckless as you?"

"I know I'm no match for Hall Master Qin, so why would I fight him!"

"Is it glorious to be knocked away like you?"

Qiu Ang was stunned for a while. "You've been smart since you were a kid, but you're never willing to try something that would put you at a disadvantage!"

He turned to Qin Ge, "Master Qin, enough with the nonsense. I only have one question for you about the haunted house: were you involved?"
