Chapter 628: Chapter 578 Absolutely Cannot Retreat
However, sometimes being overly kind can unfortunately be perceived by others as a weakness to be exploited.
Facing the modest and kindly Pang Hong, who did not wish to make a big fuss, the disciples of Canglang Palace thought he feared them, especially the leading disciple of the Spirit Realm Level Five, an heir of Canglang Palace. They thought Pang Hong was too weak to be threatened, didn’t consider him seriously, and they disrespectfully insulted Pei Xuanjing, treating him as a fraud.
They were highly disrespectful to Pei Xuanjing, belittling his achievements, arguing that his fame only came from times without true heroes. They claimed that if the revival of Heaven and Earth hadn’t been slow and many of the strong figures of the Sky Wasteland hadn’t yet returned, a mere cultivator of the Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm like Pei Xuanjing would never have the chance to be hailed as the First Person in the World.
They believed that once those strong figures returned, Xuanjing’s fame would be shattered; he ought to be humble and keep his tail between his legs or else he will be risking his own life.
Their words enraged Pang Hong.
Everyone should know that to Pang Hong, the most respected person in the world is Pei Xuanjing. For his master, he could even give up his own life, not to mention other things.
Hearing such disrespectful insults to his master, he took immediate action.
The heir of the Canglang Palace roared with anger when he saw a cultivator of the mere Fourth Level of the Spiritual Realm daring to challenge him. Priding himself on his status, he declared that he would arrest Pang Hong, teach him a lesson, and let Pei Xuanjing know from behind the scenes that they, the Canglang Palace, were not afraid of them.
The confrontation between two individuals, one disciple of Pei Xuanjing and the heir of Canglang Palace, was expected to be an earth-shattering battle, but the outcome came as a shocking surprise.
