The scorching heat instantly engulfed the surroundings, causing everyone below the Golden Immortal realm to feel their skin burning.
They were all forced to activate their immortal energy to resist.
Lei Qianjiao, the one being attacked, bore even greater pressure.
At that moment, the floor tiles around her began to shatter, and she nearly fell to her knees.
However, regardless of anything else, she was a Second-Turn Golden Immortal.
Thus, lightning flashed in her eyes, and she immediately unleashed her immortal energy without reservation.
Instantly, the surging immortal energy erupted outwards like scattered lightning, forcefully blocking Shen Fengyao's oppressive aura!
"How is this possible?!" Seeing this, even Shen Fengyao, who was usually stern, fell into a state of disbelief.
She looked at Lei Qianjiao and said, "Are you really Lei Qianjiao?"
"In my impression, Lei Qianjiao didn't have the strength of a Second-Turn Golden Immortal, did she?"
"What?!" Shen Fengyao's words stunned Chen Mengmeng.
Just a year ago, Lei Qianjiao was merely a High-Rank Immortal, wasn't she?
But how could she have reached Second-Turn Golden Immortal now? This was impossible!
Many people present also knew Lei Qianjiao, so they were naturally greatly astonished.
Let alone the Huoyun Sect, among all the Eight Great Divine Sects, none of their Saintesses were over a hundred years old, right?
But Lei Qianjiao had reached Second-Turn Golden Immortal within a century. What kind of cultivation speed was this?
This was simply an existence that could not possibly exist!
Lei Qianjiao unleashed her aura without reservation, her expression gloomy as she said:
"Sect Master Shen, don't treat me as someone you can bully casually."
"While you are the Sect Master of the Huoyun Sect, our Sheng Lei Sect is not to be trifled with either!"
"Is that so?" Shen Fengyao's expression turned considerably colder.
It seemed as if flames were bursting from her eyes as she said, "Although the fact that you are a Second-Turn Golden Immortal does surprise me."
"But it is only that much."
"At least for now, you still lack the strength to challenge me."
As her voice fell, a brilliant flame surged from Shen Fengyao's delicate body.
At the same time, an even more terrifying aura rapidly spread outwards.
Sensing this aura, Wu Tian's brow furrowed even deeper.
Shen Fengyao's strength was that of a Seventh-Turn Golden Immortal, a full five levels higher than Lei Qianjiao.
If she was determined to make Lei Qianjiao submit, then even if Lei Qianjiao gave her all, she would be completely unable to resist.
Thus, just as Shen Fengyao was about to make a move.
Wu Tian stepped forward and said, "Sect Master Shen, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
"Originally, this was just a minor scuffle between juniors. No matter what, it shouldn't have escalated to this level."
"But you, as the Sect Master of the Huoyun Sect, are now openly attacking a junior. Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed?"
Shen Fengyao was clearly displeased by these words. She stared at Wu Tian and said, "And who are you?"
"It's best if you don't meddle in matters that don't concern you."
"Otherwise, if you end up burning yourself, you can't blame me."
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Of course, I know Sect Master Shen's fire is quite formidable, but today, I must stand up."
"Regardless, Lei Qianjiao is the Saintess of the Sheng Lei Sect, and for you to attack her now is inappropriate."
"I advise you to stop now."
"If it truly affects the relationship between the two sects, do you think the Huoyun Sect can truly contend with the Sheng Lei Sect?"
The moment Wu Tian finished speaking, everyone could keenly feel an extremely terrifying energy condensing within Shen Fengyao.
Even Chen Mengmeng wore a fearful expression.
Because she knew in her heart that this situation indicated that Shen Fengyao was truly enraged.
She was well aware of her master's temperament; once Shen Fengyao was angered, things would not be so easily resolved.
Shen Fengyao withdrew her oppressive aura from Lei Qianjiao and said sternly to Wu Tian, "Kid, who are you to speak to me like that?"
Wu Tian smiled faintly and said, "Me? I'm just a handyman at the Sheng Lei Sect, nothing compared to Sect Master Shen."
"However, I am someone who likes to speak up when I see something I don't like."
"So, if I have offended Sect Master Shen in any way, I can't help it."
Chen Mengmeng was stunned.
Even at this point, Wu Tian dared to speak to Shen Fengyao with such an attitude. Was he tired of living?
And Shen Fengyao, who had a notoriously bad temper, would naturally not let Wu Tian off the hook now.
She said coldly, "It seems that your Sheng Lei Sect has indeed been in the Eight Great Divine Sects for too long, to be so arrogant."
"Even a mere disciple dares to talk back to me?"
"In that case, I must teach you today how you should speak to me!"
With that, Shen Fengyao waved her jade hand, and a ball of scorching fire immediately flew towards Wu Tian!
This fireball seemed like a casual attack from Shen Fengyao.
But in reality, the energy contained within it was enough to severely injure a True Immortal cultivator!
No one present believed Wu Tian to be a master.
Therefore, they all thought that Wu Tian would have to pay a heavy price for his words and actions.
However, facing such an attack, Wu Tian showed no intention of dodging.
A faint smile remained on his face, and as the fireball flew towards him, it simply vanished!
"This!"
Seeing this, everyone was greatly shocked!
Something's not right!
Where did the ball go?
They had clearly been watching the trajectory of the fireball, but how did it suddenly disappear?
Just as everyone was puzzled by this, Shen Fengyao's brow furrowed.
Others might not know what happened, but she was very clear.
At a certain moment, a powerful surge of immortal energy directly destroyed her attack.
And the person who used the immortal energy clearly possessed extremely high skill in controlling it, with such speed and concealment that others didn't even have time to react.
She couldn't help but re-examine Wu Tian, lowering her voice and saying, "Kid, you don't seem like an ordinary person, do you?"
Wu Tian shrugged and smiled, "Who knows?"
Shen Fengyao's heart was filled with confusion.
With her experience, how could she not see Wu Tian's abnormality?
While she maintained her full immortal energy, even Lei Qianjiao found it difficult, yet Wu Tian could still remain so calm.
This indicated that Wu Tian's strength was definitely not as simple as she had imagined.
After all, sometimes it's not the one who shouts the loudest who is the strongest.
Rather, it is those who are quiet who possess great power.
