Li Changhai sauntered over, accompanied by two members of the Li Family, utterly disregarding the disgusted looks from the Purple Mist Sect and the members of the Daqian royal family.
“Li Changhai, what are you here for?” asked Yang Hongyi coldly.
Li Changhai smiled faintly and stepped aside, revealing the two people behind him. “Considering you all seem so engrossed in your conversations, I thought it would be a good opportunity to introduce you to two promising juniors from our clan.”
“Huh?” The crowd was taken aback when they caught sight of the two from the Li Family.
Fang Lin also scrutinized the young man and woman but found nothing remarkable about them. However, his intuition told him that the Li Family was far from benign.
“Li Tongtian!” Prince Yang Qianjun stared intently at the young man in the duo and took a step forward, imbued with combative intent.
The corner of the young man’s mouth curled up in a cold smirk. “So it’s you, the loser.”
Infuriated, Prince Yang Qianjun was about to strike the young man.
However, Yang Hongyi grabbed him and stopped him.
Everyone else was shocked upon hearing Li Tongtian’s words. Especially the members of the royal family, they could hardly believe their ears.
The fourth prince of the powerful Daqian Kingdom was once defeated by Li Tongtian?
Given Prince Yang Qianjun’s rage, the implication seemed to be that nine times out of ten, what Li Tongtian said was true.
“Yang Qianjun, it seems they don’t know about the time you lost to me last year.” Li Tongtian laughed brazenly.
Prince Yang Qianjun, face reddened with anger, roared, “Let’s fight again and see who ends up as the loser!”
Li Tongtian, with a snort of contempt, retorted, “Even if we fight again, you’re no match for me. There’s no need to waste time.”
Prince Yang Qianjun was livid and practically screaming. Unfortunately, he was no match for Li Tongtian’s verbal prowess.
Meanwhile, the female from the Li Family watched Fang Lin with interest.
Fang Lin looked at her innocently: “Why are you staring at me? Are you interested in me? Just so you know, I don’t like women who aren’t pretty.”
Everyone was stunned by his words. Regardless of whether they were from the royal family or the Li Family, everyone wore spectacular expressions.
The woman from the Li Family blanched with anger. Did he just say that? He was so shameless! When did she show any interest in him? Plus, how was she not pretty?
“Fang Lin, if you keep this up, I swear I’ll rip your tongue out,” the Li Family woman gritted her teeth.
Fang Lin pretended to be surprised, “You actually know my name. It seems you’ve had a long-standing affection for me. Unfortunately, I don’t even know who you are. Sorry about that.”
“Ah!!! I’m going to kill you!” The Li Family woman was finally outraged. In her anger, she was about to attack Fang Lin.
However, Li Changhai stopped her and glared at Fang Lin.
“Well played, Fang Lin. I initially thought you were just a talented Alchemy Taoist. I didn’t expect you to have such thick skin,” Li Changhai said in somber tones.
Fang Lin looked shy, “You flatter me. Compared to nobles like Li Tongtian, my face is rather thin.”
His words dragged even Li Tongtian into the conversation. Pissed, Li Tongtian glared at Fang Lin with murderous intent in his eyes.
At this point, both the Li Family woman and Li Tongtian wished they could punch holes through Fang Lin.
The Li Family woman took a few deep breaths and managed to calm herself. She then spoke, “Fang Lin, you better hope you don’t run into me in the Endless Dungeon. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you know what true pain feels like.”
Li Tongtian also sneered, “You better hope you don’t cross paths with me either. Otherwise, there might not even be a full corpse left of you.”
Fang Lin scratched his nose and pointed at them, “The same goes for you two. I despise ugly faces. It’s weird that everyone in the Li Family is so unattractive. It’s one thing to be ugly, but coming out in public and scaring people is wrong.”
His words nearly incensed both Li Tongtian and the Li Family woman. Even Li Changhai wanted to take out Fang Lin right there. His words were simply unbearable.
“Remember my name. It’s Li Youbing! If you don’t, you might not know who killed you when the time comes,” said the Li Family woman before turning around to leave.
Fang Lin furrowed his brows, muttering, “Do you have a grudge against me? Your name is pretty interesting, though.”
Li Youbing stumbled and turned around infuriated, looking as if she wanted to devour Fang Lin.
“I’ll kill you!” Li Youbing roared in anger.
Fang Lin fiddled with his ear and appeared wholly nonchalant. It made people want to hit him.
Both Yan Ze and Yang Hongyi looked at Fang Lin with curiosity. Especially the members of the royal family, their faces were all twitching, and several of them were choking back laughter.
“Ahem, Fang Lin, after all, you’re a true disciple of our Purple Mist Sect. Try to maintain a certain image,” Yan Ze suggested.
Fang Lin looked awkward and laughed, “I’m sorry if I embarrassed the sect.”
Yang Hongyi laughed heartily, “You’re quite the character. If you can make it out of the Endless Dungeon alive, you’re welcome to visit the imperial city.”
Fang Lin clasped his hands together in a salute, “Of course, of course.”
The fourth Prince Yang Qianjun was also starting to take a liking to Fang Lin.
All three factions stood before the entrance of the Endless Dungeon, staring into the seemingly bottomless chasm. Everyone felt unnerved.
Even those who didn’t look nervous previously showed signs of apprehension now.
“The same old rules. The three of us will go first. The rest can follow soon after,” Yang Hongyi announced to all present.
The secondary and tertiary factions and several scattered martial artists had no objections. In fact, they didn’t want to be the first to enter. It was just as well for the three major factions to lead the way and scout the path ahead.
Yan Ze looked at the disciples of the Purple Mist Sect, his face etched with worry. However, he tried his best to appear relaxed.
“Don’t be too anxious. Once you’re inside, remember not to separate. Don’t act on your own. Follow Qing Jianzi’s orders at all times,” Yan Ze instructed.
Meanwhile, on the other side, both Yang Hongyi and Li Tongtian were giving instructions to their own people. After all, the Endless Dungeon wasn’t a safe place; it was full of dangers, and they had no assurance of what lay ahead.
“Go on, come back alive!” Yan Ze patted Qing Jianzi on the shoulder, glanced at Fang Lin, and said.
Qing Jianzi walked in front, his expression calm. The other disciples of the Purple Mist Sect followed behind him, slowly heading towards the entrance of the dungeon.
Both the royal family and the Li Family were making their way towards the dungeon. The three major factions advanced almost simultaneously.
Some people’s legs turned to jelly as they walked, but they forced themselves to keep moving. After all, too many people were watching. It would be a great disgrace to falter now.
Eventually, all three groups entered the dark chasm, with those outside unable to see what was happening inside.
“Why does it stink so much in here?” complained someone in the repressed gloom.
“It’s the smell of corpses!” someone quickly replied.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the sound of rushing wind rang out, and a purple light assaulted them from the darkness, heading straight towards the people of the Purple Mist Sect.
