It grows stronger when faced with a strong opponent; even an Immortal Emperor would have to kneel be

Meng Changkong's face was gloomy. How could he not be angry after being humiliated by Meng Ping like this?

But he was caught in a dilemma.

Because he is not alone, he has the entire Meng family behind him, and he cannot act impulsively.

Meng Xiyao's expression was equally unpleasant, and she also took out the True Immortal Token from her bosom.

Faced with such a sudden change, she could no longer care about her previous plans.

The atmosphere at the Meng family's gate was particularly oppressive at this moment.

"Stop! Anyone who dares to touch the Meng family will be in for a rude awakening!"

Just then, a voice rang out.

A figure dressed in a yellow robe and wearing a mask also descended, blocking the way for everyone in the Meng family.

Yellow dust appeared.

Upon receiving Chen Ping's order, he rushed over without hesitation.

Fortunately, they arrived in time.

Everyone in the Meng family was taken aback when they saw Huang Chen's unfamiliar back. They didn't remember their Meng family ever having any connection with someone like Huang Chen.

However, Meng Xiyao and Chen Wudi, who were standing nearby, recognized Huang Chen at a glance.

This was none other than the mysterious person who had given them cultivation resources on the main street outside the city.

Unexpectedly, he reappeared during the Meng family's crisis.

Meng Ping, Bai Yang, and the others looked at Huang Chen, who had suddenly appeared.

They couldn't help but frown slightly.

At this moment, someone actually dared to stand up and defend the Meng family.

They're utterly courting death.

"Who do you think you are, daring to interfere in the affairs of my Taicang Academy? If you know what's good for you, get lost, or I'll take care of you too!"

Bai Yang looked at Huang Chen, his voice cold.

Seeing this, Huang Chen smiled faintly.

The strength of Taicang Academy is about the same as that of the Huang family, yet this Bai Yang, a mere Earth Immortal, dares to threaten him.

That's ridiculous.

Huang Chen didn't hesitate and made his move immediately.

A slap landed hard on Bai Yang's arrogant face.

A loud slap rang out, accompanied by a scream, and Bai Yang was sent flying backward.

This scene stunned everyone present.

Taicang Academy, the Meng family, and the surrounding cultivators from outside the city.

Everyone stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Bai Yang's strength is evident to all; at the third level of Earth Immortal realm, he easily defeated Meng Changkong in one move.

In a small place like Licheng, it is practically invincible.

But this yellow-robed masked man who suddenly appeared defeated Bai Yang so easily.

This is absolutely outrageous!

Bai Yang was lying on the ground, covering his cheek, his expression contorted in pain, clearly having been badly beaten.

Meng Ping and the others from Taicang Academy were all shocked by what they saw.

Bai Yang was the one with the highest cultivation level among them.

"Senior Brother Baiyang, are you alright?"

Meng Ping and the others quickly helped Bai Yang up.

It took Bai Yang a long time to recover. He looked at Huang Chen, furious.

"How dare you! You actually attacked me! I am a core disciple of Taicang Academy, and this person in front of me is the personal disciple of the dean of Taicang Academy."

"If you dare touch us, you're dead!"

Bai Yang threatened viciously.

He didn't believe it. He brought up his status as a core disciple of Taicang Academy, and saw that Huang Chen still dared to be so disrespectful to them.

Taicang Academy is one of the strongest forces in the Desolate State.

It is one of the four colleges, along with the other three colleges.

Beyond the four academies lie the various powerful families and clans of Qingyang City.

Besides them, no other force can compare to them.

The person in front of him who could injure him in one move was strong, and his strength was estimated to be above the fourth level of Earth Immortal.

But it is far from being comparable to those top-tier forces.

Bai Yang was naturally fearless.

He was confident that once he revealed his powerful backer, the masked man in the yellow robe would be terrified and immediately kneel down to apologize.

Just as Bai Yang was still lost in his fantasy, another slap came flying at him.

Bai Yang screamed in agony as he was sent flying again.

This time it was even worse; one of Bai Yang's teeth was smashed to pieces.

This scene left Meng Ping and the others dumbfounded. Why was this yellow-robed masked man still so unscrupulous even after Bai Yang had revealed his identity?

It seemed as if they didn't take Taicang Academy seriously at all.

They had originally intended to threaten Huang Chen, but those words stuck in their throats.

Huang Chen looked at Bai Yang, who had been knocked to the ground by him, and sneered.

"Taicang Academy is nothing. If you want to deal with me, your dean would have to come here in person."

After Huang Chen finished speaking, everyone around him was shocked once again.

Huang Chen's arrogant words seemed to show that he didn't take Taicang Academy seriously at all.

So arrogant?

Everyone in the Meng family looked at Huang Chen with strange expressions.

This masked man in yellow robes who suddenly appeared not only inexplicably saved them.

And they're so arrogant and cocky.

They don't even respect Taicang Academy.

Huang Chen looked at the strange expressions on everyone's faces.

He smiled faintly, seemingly unconcerned.

What's Taicang Academy compared to that?

Or rather, what is the whole desolate state worth?

Chen Ping was standing behind him.

Moreover, although Huang Chen couldn't fathom Chen Ping's strength, it was at least at the True Immortal level or above.

He casually tossed down 100,000 low-grade immortal crystals and two True Immortal-level cultivation techniques.

The fact that Chen Ping possesses these treasures speaks volumes about his strength.

"Heh, how arrogant! They don't even respect my Taicang Academy."

At that moment, an old and majestic voice rang out from afar.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw an old man with white hair and beard, exuding an air of otherworldly wisdom.

The moment he appeared, Bai Yang, who had been on the verge of death after being slapped twice by Huang Chen, instantly perked up.

Because this old man was none other than his master, Elder Xu, a core elder of Taicang Academy.

A terrifying existence at the peak of the Earth Immortal realm!

"Master, you've finally arrived! I was beaten so badly!"

Bai Yang looked at Elder Xu with a wronged expression, his eyes brimming with tears.

When Elder Xu saw Bai Yang's miserable state, his expression became even more gloomy.

He looked at Huang Chen again, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"How dare you! You dare hurt my disciple! Die!"

Without any hesitation, Elder Xu unleashed his aura as a peak Earth Immortal and charged directly at Huang Chen.

Huang Chen frowned as he watched Elder Xu rushing towards him.

He recognized Elder Xu; they had met a few times before.

At the time, Elder Xu was very polite and friendly to him, and Huang Chen always thought that Elder Xu was a person who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment and was reasonable.

Huang Chen was somewhat disappointed when he saw him today.

Without asking any questions or considering right or wrong, they just wanted to kill him.

How arrogant and domineering!

The next moment, Elder Xu arrived in front of Huang Chen, his violent aura rushing towards him.

It also instantly shattered the mask on Huang Chen's face.

When Elder Xu saw Huang Chen's true face, his pupils shrank and he was shocked.

"You are... the head of the Huang family?!"

Elder Xu exclaimed in surprise. He never expected that the person in front of him was actually Huang Chen, the head of the Huang family.

Huang Chen, however, remained indifferent. Having seen through Elder Xu's character, Huang Chen no longer cared about saving face.

Today, if he weren't the head of the Huang family, and if he weren't a half-step Celestial Immortal, he would probably have died at Elder Xu's hands.

Huang Chen's aura as a half-step Celestial Immortal suddenly erupted.

He immediately attacked, striking Elder Xu with a palm!
