Chapter 335 - Baffling

“The Yu Clan!” Liu Wuxie muttered, looking at the words on the plaque.

“That’s right. It’s the Yu Clan. The mission specifically stated to deliver the letter directly to the recipient.” Bai Lin took out the letter. He didn’t know what was written inside, with only the recipient’s name on the outside.

“Yu Jiayin, this sounds like a woman’s name!” Tang Tian muttered, looking at the recipient’s name on the letter.

They kept the letter away and stepped forward but were soon stopped by the two guards.

“Who goes there!” The guard on the right roared, placing his hand on the sword at his waist. They weren’t familiar with the clothing donned by Liu Wuxie’s group of three, and these three weren’t Yu Clan’s members either.

“We’re disciples of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, and we’ve received a mission to deliver a letter to the Yu Clan. Please inform the recipient,” Bai Lin said. After all, the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion’s disciples were respected wherever they went.

Upon hearing that they were disciples of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, the two guards’ attitudes softened, and they showed more respect.

“May I ask who the letter is addressed to?” a guard asked. The Yu Clan had many members for them to ask around.

“Yu Jiayin!” Bai Lin said without any hesitation.

“A letter for the eldest missy?” The two guards didn’t dare to delay.

“Please wait while I inform the eldest missy right away.” The guard on the left opened the gate and ran inside, but he didn’t invite the three to enter. Outsiders weren’t allowed into the clan without the patriarch’s summon. This was the rule for every clan to prevent their secrets from being leaked.

Only those with permission could enter. After hearing the conversation between the three and the two guards, a white figure approached the Yu Clan.

The three could only wait but weren’t in a hurry because this was likely an easy mission. This mission didn’t offer many points because it was almost risk-free, apart from the distance they had to travel.

“Who mentioned Yu Jiayin earlier?” The white-clothed youth hurried over. But he didn’t get close and released a faint aura in the Heavenly Dipper Realm at Liu Wuxie’s group of three.

He was in his mid-twenties. To reach the Heavenly Dipper Realm at such a young age, he could be considered a talent even in the Heavenly Dipper Realm.

Bai Lin glanced at Liu Wuxie, who stood calmly by the side without any expression.

“Greetings, Young Master Hou!” Upon seeing the white-clothed youth, the remaining guard came forward with respect.

“Here, this is for you!” The white-clothed youth took out ten mid-grade spirit stones and threw them to the guard as if he were dismissing a beggar.

The guard couldn’t stop smiling. They might have low status as guards, but there were also perks. This was because they generally received benefits whenever someone visited the Yu Clan.

“What are these three doing here?” The white-clothed youth scanned Liu Wuxie’s group of three with contempt. That was especially true for Liu Wuxie, who was only in the sixth-level True Core Realm. Someone like Liu Wuxie was no different from an ant in his eyes, and he had already surpassed that level at the age of fifteen.

“Young Master Hou, they’re here to deliver a letter to the eldest missy.” The guard didn’t dare to conceal anything from the youth.

Hearing it was a letter for the eldest missy, the white-clothed youth’s face turned cold. He said, “You three are disciples of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion?”

A bone-chilling cold swept through Liu Wuxie’s group of three.

“That’s right.” Bai Lin stepped forward, but he was still polite in his tone.

The three were baffled by the white-clothed youth’s sudden hostility. They didn’t know what was happening and chose to take a courteous approach first.

“Hand over the letter, and I’ll deliver it to her. The three of you can leave now!” the youth said, extending his hand to Bai Lin.

“I’m sorry, but the mission stated to hand it over to the recipient personally.” Bai Lin cupped his fists together respectfully, hinting that he would follow the instructions.

“You dare reject me?” His response angered the white-clothed youth, who unleashed murderous intent that came crashing down on the three.

The atmosphere became tense, and the Yu Clan’s guard panicked.

“He’s Young Master Hou Chi and grew up with the eldest missy. Handing the letter to him and saving your time is fine.” Since the guard had received benefits from Hou Chi, he naturally stood on the latter’s side. But since Liu Wuxie’s group of three were disciples of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, he said it more politely.

Hearing Hou Chi’s name, Bai Lin narrowed his eyes because there was a Hou Clan in Fan City besides Yu Clan. The two clans were deeply rooted in Fan City, and even the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion had to show respect to them.

“Sorry, but the mission stated clearly to hand it to the recipient personally.” Bai Lin remained firm and didn’t fear the Hou Clan as Heavenly Treasure Pavilion’s disciple. This was a matter of principle; no one could force him to violate his principles regardless of their identity.

“You dare refuse me?” Hou Chi’s eyes turned cold with murderous intent crashing down on Bai Lin.

Although Bai Lin had reached the ninth level of the True Core Realm, he was still forced to take a few steps back under the pressure and stopped before Liu Wuxie.

“How dare you attack a disciple of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion!” Tang Tian stepped forward angrily.

“Hmph, you three are just outer disciples, a bunch of garbage. Even the inner disciples need to show me respect. You all have three breaths to hand the letter over, or don’t blame me for being impolite!” Hou Chi snorted and urged Bai Lin to hand over the letter, threatening to take it himself if they refused.

Bai Lin looked at Liu Wuxie, seeking the latter’s opinion. What he had initially anticipated to be a straightforward mission had unexpectedly evolved into their most perilous undertaking yet.

If they handed over the letter, they would fail the mission and embarrass the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. But if they insisted, it was a question of whether they could face someone in the Heavenly Dipper Realm.

“What arrogance. I want to see how you’ll be impolite to us!” Liu Wuxie stepped forward, neutralizing Hou Chi’s aura with an invisible force. He had always wanted to experience the power of someone in the Heavenly Dipper Realm, and this was an excellent opportunity.

After all, Liu Wuxie had only faced opponents in the True Core Realm since he had stepped into the cultivation world and knew nothing about those in the Heavenly Dipper Realm.

“I’ll fulfill your wish if you want to die!” Murderous intent gushed out of Hou Chi’s eyes, which formed a terrifying aura that came crashing down on the three. This scared the Yu Clan’s guard into retreating, not daring to get close.

“Junior Brother Liu, be careful!” Bai Lin took a step backward. He and Tang Tian were no match for Liu Wuxie, and the latter had become their core at this moment.

“This is interesting. Two in the ninth level of the True Core Realm didn’t dare to step forward, but someone in the sixth level like you stepped out against me? Is everyone from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion a coward? I’m glad I didn’t join the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion and chose the Azure Crimson Gate back then.” Hou Chi was a disciple of the Azure Crimson Gate and a member of the Hou Clan. No wonder he had such deep hostility towards Liu Wuxie’s group of three.

A fight would break out at any moment, but Liu Wuxie didn’t draw his weapon.

“You talk a lot.” Liu Wuxie wasn’t a man of many words. Hou Chi had been blabbering like a baboon and jumping around since his appearance.

A few hundred people gathered in the surroundings in the blink of an eye to watch.

“Who’s that brat to talk back to Hou Chi? Doesn’t he know Hou Chi is the young overlord of Fan City?” Discussions came from the surroundings.

Bai Lin and Tang Tian felt worried after realizing Hou Chi had a high reputation.

“Brat, you’re the first to speak to me in this manner. I won’t kill you, but I will cripple your legs and make you crawl for the rest of your life,” Hou Chi said with murderous intent, gushing towards Liu Wuxie.

The murderous intent radiating from Hou Chi engulfed the entire street. A growing crowd began to gather, murmuring among themselves about Liu Wuxie.

Hou Chi clasped his hands and struck Liu Wuxie’s legs with his palm without warning.

Everyone gathered around was still unclear about the reason for the fight, including Bai Lin and Liu Wuxie. They only knew that Hou Chi\'s reaction had turned aggressive upon learning they were there to deliver a letter to Yu Jiayin. Could it be the letter that sparked Hou Chi\'s hostility? Only Hou Chi knew the answer.

When Hou Chi’s palm approached, Liu Wuxie had no room to retreat. Despite Hou Chi’s motives, Liu Wuxie could only retaliate since the other party had attacked. Perhaps they would know the reason why when Yu Jiayin arrived.

A powerful aura in the Heavenly Dipper Realm swept out with a blade aura formed around Hou Chi’s palm. His true essence was powerful and capable of tearing through any defenses.

Since ancient times, there hadn’t been many instances of a True Core Realm cultivator capable of defeating someone in the Heavenly Dipper Realm.

It was expected to see a fight between two in the same cultivation, but winning against someone with higher cultivation was rare.

Liu Wuxie remained calm and began forming seals with his hands. When his true essence gushed out, a suffocating aura began to spread as Liu Wuxie’s true essence formed into a giant palm.

The two weren’t far apart, and a powerful shockwave spread when their attacks collided. They were both forced to take ten-odd steps back before they stabilized themselves.

The shockwave swept out like a hurricane, enveloping a few hundred meters of radius. The spectators gathered in the surroundings were caught by surprise and were sent flying.

Those who didn’t have high cultivation threw up a mouthful of blood, with their faces becoming pale. This was the power of the Heavenly Dipper Realm.

Hou Chi’s face changed. He might not have used his full strength, but he was confident his attack earlier could kill a cultivator in the ninth level of the True Core Realm. Thus, he was shocked that Liu Wuxie managed to withstand his attack.

As for Liu Wuxie, he briefly circulated his true essence throughout his body. He suffered no injuries and had a rough understanding of the Heavenly Dipper Realm.

The Heavenly Dipper Realm wasn’t as strong as he had imagined, not to mention Hou Chi was only in the first level. In terms of the purity of their true essence, Liu Wuxie was even stronger than Hou Chi.

“It is interesting that you managed to withstand my attack.” Hou Chi’s face was terrifyingly grim. It would be embarrassing if he couldn’t defeat someone in the True Core Realm with his cultivation in the Heavenly Dipper Realm. He would be reduced to a laughingstock if his fellow martial brothers knew.
