Chapter 1009: Chapter 1010: Are You Missing a Screw?
The ambushed Wei Changming was not severely injured. He climbed up from the ground with a displeased expression, turning to look in the direction from which the ambush came, wanting to see who had attacked them.
Everyone, startled by the ambush, stopped in their tracks and looked cautiously towards the direction of the attack, ready for anything.
But when they saw clearly who the ambusher was, their expressions turned strange.
In the distance, there was another group of trial participants, also from the Human Clan.
However, they were not from Ming Chun Hall but from a top-tier Human Clan faction known as the Kongyuan Sect.
The most outstanding among these Kongyuan Sect disciples was a Ninth Level Star Control Realm individual, wielding a Fifth Grade Star, but judging by their aura, they had not been in this realm for long.
The auras of the other seven disciples were somewhat similar to the fourth-generation disciple strength of the Wei family: four Sixth Level Star Control Realm disciples, two Seventh Level Star Control Realm disciples, and one Eighth Level Star Control Realm disciple.
Their strength was not bad. Comparing them, Lin Qian understood why the fourth-generation disciples of the Wei family were only considered top-tier strength in othersâ eyes.
If it wasnât for his help in their cultivation, the power of the Wei familyâs fourth-generation disciples would really only be comparable to the geniuses of this top-tier sect.
However, the strength of these Kongyuan Sect disciples significantly improved compared to what they knew before entering.
Obviously, these Kongyuan Sect disciples also had encounters in this relic and acquired some good things.
These Kongyuan Sect disciples used this to enhance their strength, which was different from the past.
It is likely because of this that they had the courage to attack them.
At this moment, everyoneâs auras were kept in disguise, and the other side could not see their true realm.
It seems these Kongyuan Sect disciples took them for easy targets.
âLv Xinzhen, what are you doing, daring to attack us?â Wei Changming pointed aggressively at the leader of the other side after getting up.
Encountering them in this relic could only be due to their incredibly âgoodâ luck, given even coming across each other is possible.
The Kongyuan Sect disciple called Lv Xinzhen by Wei Changming, looked at him with a half-smile: âOh, nothing. Just happened to see your Wei family passing through here, so I casually took a shot. You wouldnât mind, would you?â
âAfter all, when you look closely, you werenât really injured, so why get so angry? What do you think, my junior brothers? Hahaha.â
âExactly! You werenât really hurt, so why are you being so picky.â
âBesides, you didnât dodge yourself; who can you blame?â
The other Kongyuan Sect disciples chimed in one after another with sarcastic remarks, clearly not taking the Wei familyâs people seriously.
Lin Qian remained silent, listening. In his view, the other party was clearly stirring up trouble intentionally.
âArenât you going too far? What, planning to fight?â Wei Xiaogang stepped forward, glaring fiercely at the Kongyuan Sect disciples before him, and shouted angrily.
Now, with everyoneâs strength enhanced, these Kongyuan Sect people dared to provoke them, directly igniting his anger.
If not for following Lin Qianâs words, he would have rushed forward to fight by now.
âNo rush, letâs see what tricks theyâre playing.â At this moment, Lin Qianâs voice appeared in their minds, showing no surprise on anyoneâs faces.
In these thirty years, they all knew that Lin Qianâs soul consciousness was not as restricted by this relic as they were.
However, over time, the range he could extend from his body had become smaller.
Now, it was only about a dozen zhang from him, just a few more than theirs; they didnât understand the reason, only Lin Qian did.
It was because mastering the Xuanhuan Star had reached a critical point, thus limiting the range after the soul consciousness left the body, which was no major concern overall.
However, the range limitation led to Lin Qian not detecting the Kongyuan Sectâs attack in the first instance.
Additionally, his conversation with Wei Changming led to distraction, resulting in the successful ambush on the latter.
The unusual behavior of the Kongyuan Sect disciples made Lin Qian curious, wondering why they would recklessly provoke him without fear.
Even if the battle ensued, even given their disguised aura realms, the other party couldnât guarantee taking them down.
So, the best course of action should have been to leaving as if they hadnât found them, continuing with their own matters should be the norm.
The current situation seemed distinctly odd.
Therefore, Lin Qian advised everyone against being impulsive, to quietly observe the changes.
After Wei Xiaogangâs outcry, the Kongyuan Sect disciples laughed more wildly, shaking their heads at Lin Qian and his companions: âGood, weâre waiting for you to make a move.â
âAfter all, being from the Wei family, you must have acquired something valuable, right? Better hand it over quickly, or if you die here, no one will know how things went down.â Lv Xinzhen spoke lightly, his eyes full of playful mockery, but his tone was full of menace.
Lin Qian and others were startled, the situation was now very clear, these Kongyuan Sect disciples were simply here to cause trouble.
Their words were stated so bluntly, the situation was plain as day.
The other side was blocking the road to rob, using life threats.
âAre you out of your minds, daring to mess with us, the Wei family?â Wei Guichang couldnât help but speak, looking at the Kongyuan Sect disciples like they were a bunch of idiots.
Even so, they had twelve people on their side, while the supposed top-tier power only had eight gathered here.
Being a top-tier faction, they only had eight entry slots into the relic to begin with.
âWhy, do your Wei family really think of themselves as an overlord level force now? If it were one of the other five overlord level forces, of course, we wouldnât dare contend, but your Wei familyâŠâ Lv Xinzhenâs face showed obvious disdain, âEveryone knows the fourth generation of the Wei family is not what they claim to be, even less than the disciples of some top-tier forces.â
Saying this, Lv Xinzhenâs gaze lingered on Lin Qian: âLike this guy, isnât he just waste? Was your Wei familyâs brain missing a bit or something, actually bringing him along?â
