Chapter 508: Rich and Spontaneous

Guo Yifei’s voice rumbled through the air as soon as he opened his mouth, causing the crowd of thousand spectators gathered around the Heavenly Lake to go wild within a moment.

So what? Now that the Elder has been killed, is the Sect Lord going to fight him in person? That’s too shameless. The duel between Yan Liqiang and Cai Yingwu was fair. What is the point of you going for him? To create a gang fight? This is really shameless.

Aside from the muted crowd from the Soaring Heaven Sect, Guo Yifei could hear the hisses and outraged curses from the people surrounding him. He was given countless funny looks, yet despite this, Guo Yifei remained indifferent. Before he decided to speak, he did consider the matter at hand. In the end, however, Guo Yifei realized that if he were to allow Yan Liqiang to leave unharmed, the chances of eliminating him would gradually diminish by the day. The youth excels at fists, and with a person of boundless potential such as Yan Liqiang, it would certainly be daunting as Yan Liqiang could restrain him at any given moment. Since he already had his revenge, he could take this opportunity to eliminate his opponent at the Heavenly Lake while he was still able to, thus removing a great deal of trouble forever.

A sneer of murderous intent appeared on Gui Yifei’s face as he completely ignored the surrounding uproar and censure. These condemnations were nothing. Only those who live will be the powerful ones while those who die will quickly be forgotten regardless of how famous they were or what sort of things they did in the past. Only those who survive would be able to attain the world.

The expression on the bustling crowd from the archery academy changed when they heard the words coming from Guo Yifei’s mouth.

“Everyone, mount your steeds and protect the headmaster...” Under Shi Changfeng’s command, five hundred men quickly shifted and mounted their rhinodrake steeds.

“F*ck! These pieces of trash from the Soaring Heaven Sect are too shameless. If they want to fight, we will give it to them. We are not afraid...” Zhou Yong climbed up his rhinodrake steed and equipped the bow he carried on his back.

“Shoot down that old bastard...” Shi Dafeng screamed as well.

Hundreds of men gripped their bows, their hearts filled with righteous indignation. After they were mounted, they looked toward Shi Changfeng while awaiting his next signal.

Meanwhile, Shi Changfeng’s eyes were locked where the Soaring Heaven Sect was. If Guo Yifei were to make a move, his side would move as well.

The atmosphere around the Heavenly Lake instantaneously became tense.

Even from a distance of thousands of meters, Yan Liqiang could clearly see every line on Guo Yifei’s face as he stood in the middle of the lake due to his extraordinary eyesight. He could sense the murderous intent from the Soaring Heaven Sect’s Sect Lord too. Naturally, he could also sense the reaction from the archery academy side. Yan Liqiang was not surprised at all by this situation. If he decided to come today, that would mean he was already prepared for this. Should Guo Yifei desire to stake his life in this place, then he would kill Guo Yifei on the spot, even at the risk of exposing his ace up his sleeve.

Nevertheless, he was already aware that Guo Yifei was a strong person. However, no matter how strong this person became, there would be limits to his body endurance and reflexes. He would encounter unexpected things that could hurt or kill him as well. In fact, the thing that could kill him might not necessarily be associated with martial cultivation base. If Guo Yifei dared to rush to him into making a move today, or even dared to approach him within the range of ten meters, Yan Liqiang would force him to follow Cai Yingwu’s footsteps.

Of course, this wasn’t the best plan he had. Other than that, Yan Liqiang had another insurance at hand.

“What’s the matter? Does Sect Lord Guo wish to come forward and compete with me in the art of archery?” Yan Liqiang’s calm voice reverberated.

“Elder Cai had a fair fight with you. Regardless of whether he is dead or alive, the Soaring Heaven Sect will accept the result of this duel!” Guo Yifei’s voice roared tacitly and with passion. He continued, “However, you should have known the cause behind the duel between you and Elder Cai. As the Sect Lord of the Soaring Heaven Sect, the death of our disciple Shi Zhiyao cannot be erased with Elder Cai’s death. We will not draw back despite Elder Cai’s death. I will be your next opponent. Even if I die here, I will seek justice for the disciples of the Soaring Heaven Sect!”

“Hahaha...” Yan Liqiang laughed as he gazed fearlessly at the Soaring Heaven Sect, “It is impressive for Sect Lord Guo to disclose such a shameless thing with confidence and solemnity. Indeed, the Soaring Heaven Sect is the best in the northwest when it comes to matters of impudence. Didn’t you accept Jiang Tianhua’s money to stand up against me? Why demand a monument for charity after benefiting from being a whore? It’s disgusting. Did you take everyone for a fool? I will stand right here. If you have what it takes, then come and kill me. We will see whether I die here today or if the name of the Soaring Heaven Sect will be banished from the northwest forever...”

“Do you really think you’re capable of expelling us from the northwest? What a joke...” Guo Yifei sneered.

Yan Liqiang retained his smile as he delivered his piece that would cut through their hearts like a cold wind, “I forgot to tell you. Sect Lord Guo, I know you are currently rich and in abundant wealth. If I were poor, I wouldn’t want some evil people to remember me either. The annual income of my manufacturing bureau is innumerable. I have so much money that I have no idea what to spend it on. Before I came here, I have been ruminating and realized that it would be too pitiful to die before I could even spend all my money, which is why I have already made a will. I will deposit a million taels of silver to the monetary house as a reward. As long as anyone or any sect — good or bad, can destroy the Soaring Heaven Sect when I die, they will be able to retrieve the reward and one hundred thousand taels of silver dividend from the manufacturing bureau. What do you think? Not a bad idea, right? You should be happy that I’m still alive from the fight with Elder Cai, because if I died, everyone in the Soaring Heaven Sect will die to an unknown cause. I will drag everyone to my grave!”

Speechless. Aside from the spectators, the members of the Soaring Heaven Sect did not expect Yan Liqiang to make such an arrangement. The spectating crowd was outraged with Guo Yifei for being shameless just now. After hearing Yan Liqiang’s words, they began to applaud him for his idea. Some even let out a sigh on behalf of the Soaring Heaven Sect too. One million taels of silver was considered an astronomical figure of wealth, and on top of that, they would be able to receive one hundred thousand taels of silver as a bonus. If Yan Liqiang were to die today, organizations of good and bad in the entire Great Han Empire including the government officials would line up for a chance to kill the Soaring Heaven Sect. The whole sect was definitely not worth this much money, so this would be a handsome award to grab.

Guo Yifei, who was filled with killing intent moments ago, was now practically speechless upon hearing Yan Liqiang’s words. His aging face turned red, which then turned black. His body began to shiver as he pointed at Yan Liqiang with his finger and said, “You... you... you... how could you... how could... how could you be so insolent...”

Guo Yifei could not find any suitable words to say. He could only fume from embarrassment...

“Well, I don’t steal or rob from people. I was unfortunate enough to earn your attention by making earnings through a little bit of talent, along with the path of mechanics and the investigation of things. You will find various reasons to take my inheritance and my life. All I can do is admit my bad luck and wait for the day I die!” Yan Liqiang guffawed. He pointed at the Soaring Heaven Sect in a domineering manner and continued, “I will have you shameless pieces of trash know that you can kill people with a lot of money. Not only people, but mountains and rivers as well. Since my life can be used to make you lot attack me, then what does that make you, Sect Lord Guo Yifei of the Soaring Heaven Sect? So what if you have already advanced to Martial Ancestor? I can buy your life and the others in the sect with money as well. Did you really want to compare your wealth with mine? How greedy can Jiang Tianhua be? The money I earn is ten times more than what he could earn. From now on, you, your sect, and Jiang Tianhua better pray that I don’t get into any accidents or mishaps. Because if I do, your sect and that bastard Transport Commissioner will be my scapegoats, and none will escape from that fate. If you don’t believe me, you can try. I have money and I am spontaneous. What can you do about it...?” With that said, Yan Liqiang promptly pulled the string of his 100-picul bow and shot an arrow toward the direction of the Soaring Heaven Sect...

The hundred-meter-long shadow of the Horned Python reappeared as if light penetrated through the sky, and bombarded the tall-standing flag situated several thousand meters away from the Soaring Heaven Sect. The flag was shot down quickly by Yan Liqiang’s arrow. The mountain behind the flag was also penetrated by the arrow, causing a large hole to appear. With the fallen flag and debris flying about, the disciples of the Soaring Heaven Sect were startled and descended into turmoil...

“OUCH...” The masked Jiang Tianhua was bleeding all over his face when he was hit by a swerving rock. He clutched his forehead and screamed in pain.

It wasn’t until the fall of the Soaring Heaven’s Sect’s flag that the screeching sound of the arrow piercing through the air was audible. Hearing that, the expression on the disciples’ and elders’ faces went pale...

Guo Yifei was shivering all over as he glared at Yan Liqiang who had shot an arrow toward him. The meridians in his body were crackling. On the other hand, the fearless Yan Liqiang glared coldly at Guo Yifei’s direction after releasing his arrow.

However, before Jiang Tianhua could utter a single word, a rumbling voice could he heard from the mountains in the distance. The voice was filled with dignity and anger as it said, “Young Master Yan is a symbol of worship for our Soul Mountain Sect, and he is also a highly-respected man. Does the Soaring Heaven Sect wish to become an enemy of my Soul Mountain Sect...?” Following that, a group of people riding on rhinodrake steeds braving the snow appeared with thunderous steps as they rushed toward the Heavenly Lake...

Upon hearing this voice, Yan Liqiang was slightly stunned before a smile quickly crept across his mouth. The members of the Soul Mountain Sect had finally arrived. Although they were a bit late, they were considered quick to manage to reach this place from miles away to the northeast after receiving his letter...

Yan Liqiang rubbed his face and thought to himself, ‘When did I become a symbol of worship for the Soul Mountain Sect?’
