"Xuan Tianpeng, if you want to bully Headmaster Han, you'll have to get through me first."
Suddenly, a deep, resonant voice boomed through the void.
Then, a figure emerged from the direction of the Purple Star Hall, ultimately landing before the Sect Master of the Red Clothed Holy Land.
This person was the Headmaster of the Blazing Fire Academy.
"The Xuanming Family truly puts on quite the show."
"How dare you bully my close friend?"
Right after that, yet another figure came soaring through the air.
He too landed before the Sect Master of the Red Clothed Holy Land, and his background was equally formidable.
He was the Headmaster of the Dragon and Phoenix Immortal Pavilion.
"You all!!!"
The Xuanming Family Master's face had turned green.
The three who had just appeared each possessed the cultivation of a Fourth-grade Supreme.
These were all existences he could not hope to match.
And all three of them had shown up at the same time.
"Hmph."
In the end, the Xuanming Family Master could only let out a cold snort before preparing to lead the Xuanming Family members away.
"Wait a moment."
But just as he turned around, three powerful forces blocked the path of the Xuanming Family members.
They were the auras of the Miao Heavenly Clan's Clan Master, the Headmaster of the Dragon and Phoenix Immortal Pavilion, and the Headmaster of the Blazing Fire Academy.
"What more do you want?" the Xuanming Family Master asked.
His voice actually carried a hint of grievance?
He truly did feel somewhat wronged. He had originally intended to bully the Chu Heavenly Clan.
But then the Red Clothed Holy Land had popped up out of nowhere, and while he wasn't afraid of the Red Clothed Holy Land—who would have thought that these three would show up as well?
Knowing full well he couldn't beat them, he had immediately backed down. If he couldn't afford to fight, surely he could afford to run?
But now they actually wouldn't even let him leave. This…
Did they expect him to apologize?
"Xuan Tianpeng, listen well. Today I'm letting you off as a courtesy—consider it one chance."
"From now on, if you dare cause any more trouble for the Red Clothed Holy Land, don't blame us for disregarding old ties," the Miao Heavenly Clan's Clan Master said.
The other two said nothing, but judging by their expressions, they shared the same sentiment.
The Xuanming Family Master was filled with regret at that moment.
Had he known this would happen, he would never have come out in the first place.
He had originally wanted to teach the Chu Heavenly Clan a lesson, and now he was being reprimanded to his face. He had nearly lost every last shred of his dignity.
Fortunately, once the Miao Heavenly Clan's Clan Master finished speaking, he withdrew his aura.
The Xuanming Family Master slunk away in disgrace.
Though the Xuanming Family had left, the onlookers erupted into a frenzy of discussion.
The Red Clothed Holy Land's strength was not as formidable as they had imagined—it was even somewhat weak.
So why had three great powers—the Miao Heavenly Clan, the Dragon and Phoenix Immortal Pavilion, and the Blazing Fire Academy—come to the Red Clothed Holy Land's aid?
These three powers had previously been allied with the Zhutian Gate.
Why were they on such good terms with the Red Clothed Holy Land?
The crowd was baffled, though they vaguely realized that while the Sect Master of the Red Clothed Holy Land might not be particularly powerful, she was definitely not to be underestimated.
"Thank you, esteemed lords, for your assistance."
The Chu Heavenly Clan's Clan Master stepped forward to express his gratitude.
The Miao Heavenly Clan's Clan Master returned the gesture with a smile.
The Headmasters of the Blazing Fire Academy and the Dragon and Phoenix Immortal Pavilion, however, completely ignored the Chu Heavenly Clan's Clan Master. After exchanging a few pleasantries with the Sect Master of the Red Clothed Holy Land, they departed.
The ones they had come to help, after all, were the Red Clothed Holy Land.
