Supreme Emperor of Mist

"What a fool! He actually made a move first!" the spectators commented about Qin Lan's foolish action of making the first move against Liu Feiyang and his hooligan teammates.

"Stop them! Stop them from damaging our property!" the manager of the second floor ordered the two guards standing near the stairs to prevent the fight from escalating further.

"Yes, sir!" the guards immediately take action.

Of course, their mentality justified the next course of their action. Instead of charging straight onto Liu Feiyang, they actually choose to stop Qin Lan.

In their mind, it was better to stop a nameless individual that they can't recognize and not a disciple from Cloud Plucking Sect.

"Hold it right there!" one of the guards tossed a (Half) Xuan-Grade Offensive Treasure at Qin Lan to lock his next course of action. It was a treasure in the shape of a chain but flexible like Lu Qing Yun's Heaven's String.

It was the best type of Offensive Treasure that a guard could utilize to restrict a person's movement while fighting inside their premises.

But unfortunately, the one he's facing is not normal either.

As an expert with extensive knowledge in Offensive and Defensive Treasure, how can Qin Lan be restricted by a mere Xuan-Grade treasure? It was just troublesome to him, at most, because using his Eight Transformation Treasured Brush is inconvenient right now.

A layer of Spiritual Energy wrapped around Qin Lan's palm as he proceeds to grab the glowing chain with his bare hand. Qin Lan's method caught the guard by surprise, making him quickly adjusted his following action.

"He's crazy!" the other customers with some insight about the Xuan-Grade Spiritual Chain were surprised by Qin Lan's decisiveness in catching that burning chain without protection.

"How - How can this be?" the guard and Qin Lan engaged in a tug-o-war using that chain. What they're expecting did not happen.

"Attack him, quickly! He's also a fifth-level Flesh Refining Expert like us!" the guard quickly asked for his colleague's help.

"Cloud Dispersing Fist!" the other guard came into the realization that this wasn't a usual opponent they face daily. Charging into Qin Lan's reach without further ado, the guard delivered a decisive attack before Qin Lan could react.

"He's a goner. The Cloud Dispersing Fist is capable of delivering the force of two levels above the user's cultivation." one of the customers shared.

**Poof!**

Qin Lan chuckled. He destroyed their expectation once again by stopping the attack with a claw technique. Tightening his claw without giving the guard time to respond, Qin Lan pulled him closer as he retaliates by delivering an elbow strike straight onto his neck.contemporary romance

The guard fainted right on where he was.

"You! Come here as well!" Qin Lan suddenly made a circle using his palm as he tightened his grip over the Xuan-Grade Spiritual Chain. The guard immediately lost his balance after getting pulled by Qin Lan this way.

Once again, without notice, Qin Lan delivered a blow straight onto the guard's face. Using simple and effective boxing techniques, Qin Lan sent all his opponents with the same cultivation strength into an unconscious state effortlessly.

"This..." both the manager on the upper floor and Liu Feiyang are speechless at how everything went.

"Hold it right there," the voice of a half-step Bone Reconstruction Expert sounded in Qin Lan's ear as he was going to a step further towards Liu Feiyang.

"I would advise this young brother to not acting rashly." the owner of the voice continued. "You have great potential. Why waste it because of a small matter like this? Let's take a step back, both of us."

"Hahaha! What makes you think that I will be the one at a disadvantage if we're going to fight?" Qin Lan laughed. At the same time, he let go of the Xuan-Grade Spiritual Chain in his hand to shows a contradicting action.

"..."

The Bone Reconstruction Expert stopped replying to Qin Lan after the Spiritual Energy around Qin Lan has calmed down.

"This expert. Our Zhou Treasured Pavilion does not welcome you. Please make your way out of our premises before we're forced to take action!" the upper floor manager pointed his palm towards the door as he finished his sentence.

"Good job, manager! Kick him out from the Zhou Treasured Pavilion!" Liu Feiyang laughed after he listened to what the manager just said.

"If that's the case, you should be leaving too! Where are the other guards? Drag those troublemakers from Le-Xin Dwelling out from our Zhou Treasured Pavilion right now!"

"They'll be banned from coming into this premises for a month!" the voice belonged to a female cultivator who came from the upper floor. When the owner made her appearance, it was revealed to be someone familiar to Qin Lan.

(Zhou Mei? Shouldn't she be at Xiyun City?)

Qin Lan smiled. It seems that Zhou Mei's background is not just a mere disciple of Ice Maiden Temple. Furthermore, her surname is the same "Zhou" as the Zhou Treasured Pavilion, which meant something more than a coincidence.

"Our Zhou Treasured Pavilion has been very rude to this esteemed customer. Please allow Zhou Mei to personally escort you to the second floor." Zhou Mei pointed her hand on the stairs as she invited Qin Lan to follow her.

"That's much better. Lady Zhou, please." Qin Lan returned her polite gesture as he invited Zhou Mei to lead the way.

As for Liu Feiyang, he was dragged outside of the Zhou Treasured Pavilion with the other from Le-Xin Dwelling.

...

"What's bring you here today?" Zhou Mei asked.

"Nothing. I was just trying to look around for some treasure while searching for inspiration." Qin Lan replied.

"That's not my question." Zhou Mei changed her tone after she heard Qin Lan's reply.

"Are you still planning to keep on acting like someone else in front of me? Did you forget that my Spiritual Sense Body can sense all kinds of treasure on a person?" Zhou Mei pouted in front of Qin Lan.

"I think you misunderstood, Lady Zhou. I am not..." Qin Lan still tries to deny Zhou Mei's suspicion.

"QIN LAN!" Zhou Mei shouted.

But luckily, Qin Lan's hand is swift enough to cover her mouth from letting the voice out.

**Shush!**
