I am Master Dammen of the Starry Sky.

More than ten cultivators faced Chen Xia.

The leader Qin Youg Master did not speak, but first looked over Chen Xia and got some information.

Chen Xia was not wearing the clothes of Starry Sky Pill Sect, so he should not be a cultivator from Starry Sky Pill Sect. Looking at his clothes, his family background was probably not prominent either.

He was just an ordinary cultivator who came to participate in the minor Dan Festival.

Qin Youg Master smiled slightly without speaking, and gently beckoned with his hand.

The triangular-headed cultivator behind him immediately spoke first, "Friend, have you seen Bai Jie?"

Chen Xia was still resting his cheek on his hand thinking about something, completely ignoring them and their question.

The triangular-headed cultivator frowned and asked again, "I am Elder Wang He of Armor Wood Mountain. I was just following the footsteps of Bai Jie and they led me here. Friend, have you seen Bai Jie?"

His words were reasonable and not arrogant.

But no one had stipulated that Chen Xia had to answer him. And Chen Xia was not in a good mood at the moment. He glanced at Wang He and out of basic courtesy, still answered with a word.

"Seen him, he left."

Wang He frowned. That was tantamount to not saying anything. He also knew that Bai Jie had left. He just could not locate where Bai Jie had gone with his probing techniques. So he asked again.

"Where did he go?"

"He'll be back soon, just wait here for a bit," said Chen Xia as he sat on the stone chair, propping his cheek indifferently.

"Really, don't fool us." Wang He frowned and asked again, his tone a little unhappy.

Chen Xia glanced at him. "What if I'm lying?"

The atmosphere became a little tense at this moment.

Wang He's eyebrows furrowed and spiritual energy began leaking out of his hand. If they had not been inside the Starry Sky Pill Sect, he would have slapped Chen Xia with his palm right now.

He would definitely beat this person until he knelt and begged for mercy!

Suddenly, a clear crisp sound came from behind. "Alright, Senior Brother Wang, let's just wait here. Since he said so, he probably won't lie to us."

Wang He turned his head to look. A smile appeared on his face and he nodded, "Then we'll do as Junior Sister Zhang said and wait for a while. If Bai Jie doesn't come back, then I won't be able to restrain my hot temper."

Chen Xia was too lazy to pay them any attention. He continued propping his cheek, watching the light snow falling into the lake today.

A hot temper that couldn't be restrained?

Humph.

It would be restrained once he was dead.

He did not say this out loud because he really did not want to kill anyone.

Watching the snow was more interesting than killing someone.

The snow turned into water when it entered the lake, and became part of the lake.

A cultivator's life was pretty much the same.

Chen Xia gained some insight and glanced up slightly. The ripples on the lake's surface spread out a little, drifting far away.

Just like a wandering life.

The more than ten cultivators stood to one side, chatting and laughing.

The leader, Qin Youg Master, had a very high status. A belt made of millennium dragon tendon was wrapped around his waist. He glanced slightly at Chen Xia and saw him observing the snow.

Then he smiled disdainfully. The tip of his foot lightly lifted and he kicked a rock into the lake with a plop, splashing a lot of water. Then he laughed, "This snowfall is so boring. It's much more exciting to kick a rock into the water and make a splash."

Chen Xia turned his head and glanced at him slightly without saying anything.

The few cultivators behind him quickly flattered, "Qin Youg Master, what you said makes so much sense. It faintly contains some great Dao truths. The bottlenecks I've been stuck at for a long time in the Falling Sea Realm's fifth layer seem to be loosening now."

"Humph, you dare speak after just feeling some loosening. I have already comprehended the true meaning in Qin Youg Master's words. I'm about to break through!"

"..."

Qin Youg Master chuckled lightly. He lifted his hand slightly in disdain, "A bunch of ignorant fools getting carried away from just a sentence of mine."

"Qin Youg Master is a genius of great talent, his innate gifts are no less than the emperor's scions!"

"It's not just no less, I'd say he's slightly better!"

Flattering words continued.

But some cultivators did not join in. They just observed.

The Zhang Family Junior Sister who had advised earlier also did not speak. She was sizing up Chen Xia instead, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

Whether he really had ability or was just pretending, being able to remain so calm in front of them was quite character.

After all, the sixteen of them were considered the proud geniuses of the major factions in this realm, the core disciples.

There was Wang He of Armor Wood Mountain, Huo Jia of Seeking Duckweed Island, Xie Bo of Hundred Edges Sect, herself from the Zhang Family...

And most prominently, Qin Guan of Triumphant Mountain, whose background was the greatest, with innate gifts no less than the emperor's scions!

These sixteen people were all ranked in the top fifty of the younger generation in this realm's middle strata. In the future, when they rose to the Heaven Mending Realm, they would become pillars supporting their sects.

That was the capital for their arrogance.

Yet the man watching the snow before them seemed completely unworried by the arrival of their group of sixteen. It was quite strange indeed.

Even ordinary cultivators at the Heaven Mending Realm would not dare to be so dismissive of them!

The woman frowned slightly, unable to see through him completely.

If Chen Xia knew her thoughts, he would have laughed.

Did this group of neither ghost nor man nobodies really think they could shock him?

They still wanted to be compared to the emperor's scions?

Chen Xia beat up emperor's scions!

Not to mention Chen Xia was once one of the Fourteen Scions of the Vast Heavens, the fourteen emperor's scions at their peak.

Compared to the Fourteen Scions of the Vast Heavens, this group of sixteen cultivators had a huge disparity.

Of course, neither side knew the other's background at the moment. Naturally Chen Xia had no need to know. If they really disagreed, they could just compare their abilities directly.

Qin Guan suddenly lifted his foot again, picking up another small rock, and laughed, "Low realm cultivators are like these rocks under my feet, completely powerless to resist me."

Before the others could flatter him again,

Chen Xia turned his head, frowning slightly, and asked, "Is your foot itchy?"

Wang He frowned and shouted angrily.

"Is your mouth itchy, daring to speak to Qin Youg Master like that? I didn't hit you earlier, but your courage is growing bigger and bigger. I'll slap you twice later and make you kneel and beg for mercy!"

Qin Guan looked at Chen Xia disdainfully instead, truly curious how a cultivator who didn't know life and death had gotten into the Starry Sky Pill Sect.

Zhang Family's female cultivator did not try to discourage them this time. She watched on curiously. In her opinion, since Chen Xia dared to speak like that, he naturally had some abilities.

If he was really just pretending, then getting beaten up wouldn't wrong him.

Chen Xia pursed his lips helplessly. Why did people who thought so highly of themselves like charging into his fists?

Just as he was about to stand up,

Wang He suddenly waved his hand and called out, "Elder over there, come drive this rascal out!"

He turned to look at Chen Xia again and said disdainfully, "Letting I, myself, take action would dirty my hands. Have the Starry Sky Pill Sect drive a rude nobody like you out."

Seeing it was this group of sixteen cultivators, the elder quickly ran over and asked kindly, "Young friends, what's the matter?"

"This rascal dared to yell at Qin Youg Master. Your Starry Sky Pill Sect should know what to do right?" Wang He said coldly with a laugh.

"Who dares to yell at Qin Youg Master?" The elder shouted righteously. He looked in the direction Wang He pointed. Then he quickly froze.

Wang He continued to laugh coldly, "Have your Starry Sky Pill Sect beat him up badly and drive him out."

But there was no response.

He looked back in puzzlement.

He only saw the elder kneeling on the spot, head knocking the ground, respectfully shouting, "Supreme Elder!"
