"Fei Hong, I challenge you to a death match, do you dare accept?"

The entire crowd instantly exploded in chatter as they began to confirm what they have just heard amongst each other like they were trying to ensure the news they were going to spread to their friends was genuine…

​​

But then, Min Hong stopped in his tracks and without turning around gazed slightly to the side and casually replied;

"Don't be too hasty Shen Wang, we are definitely going to meet when I take on the 'War God Challenge' in two months, then you can always request our match to be a life or death battle…"

Min Hong resumed his exit as the crowd descended into an abrupt and eerie silence as they were all unsure if what they heard Min Hong say was actually what he said…

"D-did I just hear something like 'War God Challenge'?"

A disciple managed to stutter out of his palpitating heart as he grabbed his friend that was beside him and landed three hot slaps on his face just to ensure that everything was real and he wasn't dreaming…

"Ma Jia, are you insane or what? If you wanted to confirm if you are dreaming or not why don't you drive a dagger through your father's heart…"

The disgruntled disciple who had just been slapped bellowed angrily at his friend who squarely delivered a vicious slap to his face…

"I think I heard him say something like 'War God Challenge'… wait… is he going to-?" Another disciple turned stifled in incredulity as he reached the end of his statement…

"Nah… Rong Yun must here about this…" one female disciple spoke this time around as another male disciple chimed in;

"I must make haste and tell the rest of my friend about this insane news too…"

Before long, the entire area was devoid of any other on looker as they have either gone to spread the news around the outer sect districts or couldn't continue to wait awkwardly when Min Hong and most of the on lookers had left…

Thus, before he could recover from Min Hong's response, Shen Wang realized that the only people left in the area was only Himself, his lackeys and the unconscious group of his brother's and his own lackeys…

Swallowing the bitter and gory pill Min Hong had just shoved down his throat today, Shen Wang with an awful expression ordered the rest of his able lackeys to carry his brother whilst he ordered to random disciples that were passing by to carry the rest of the incapacitated figures before he stormed off in a certain direction towards the inner court districts….

"I promise you, Fei Hong… you will regret ever crossing the path of any member of Shen Clan…" Shen Wang swore within himself as he stomped towards the inner sect…

The moment he got to the wall that segregated the inner sect from the outer sect, he saw several inner court Enforcement Hall disciples guarding the massive wooden gates as he reached them and tendered his senior brother's badge to them…

The disciple on guard duty who was giving off a 1 Star Nascent Soul cultivation base aura in a bid to scare off troublemakers that might probably disturb the quiet of the inner court and the privacy of the inner court disciples…

The disciple received the white badge from Shen Wang which had three bronze stars on one side and the insignia of the Desert Sun Sect on the other side, and the moment he confirmed that the badge belonged to one of the top ten disciples of the inner court, he instantly changed his views of Shen Wang and quickly retracted his cultivation aura before stepping aside and signaling his partner to open the gates…

Receiving the badge back from the Enforcement Hall disciple, Shen Wang cocked his neck in pride as he gave these disciples a ridiculing gaze…

He really loved the way they became flustered when they saw the amount of stars on the badge which made him feel slightly better about the emotional pummeling Min Hong had dished him earlier…

Thus he inflated his guts and hung his hands slightly like he was peacocking as he took a proud and rich merchant stride into the inner court causing the Enforcement Hall disciples on guard duty to sigh and shake their head with expressions that bordered between pity and ridicule…

Before long, Shen Wang arrived in front of a 490 square meter courtyard which currently had a female retainer standing at its entrance…

"Announce to my brother that I have come to visit…" Shen Wang ordered the lady as he gazed at her from beneath his nose…

"Please wait a moment, young master Wang…"

The female retainer bowed slightly to Shen Wang before heading into the courtyard and after about three minutes, she came outside and responded; "Kindly follow me, young master Wang…"

She said as she led Shen Wang into the villa towards the courtyard which had a massive sakura tree planted right in the center of the villa to provide shade for the few reclining and relaxing chairs in the courtyard…

Then just behind the courtyard was an apartment that was being slightly veiled by the massive sakura tree that was right in the center of the courtyard…

Then the retainer led Shen Wang to one of the reclining chairs as he basked in the scent of the sweet smelling sakura flowers as well as the potent Qi around the area that seemed to be the work of a Qi gathering formation built beneath the apartment, if Min Hong was here, he would have had at least fifty times more reaction to the Nihility Flame Essence here than the one within his own apartment…

Then from behind the sakura tree, the door of the apartment opened up as a six feet tall muscular figure walked out, he looked more like a seasoned UFC fighter with his well-defined and chiseled muscles and bulk…

He was also light skinned with a shoulder length black hair and sky blue eyes which would make the hairs on the necks of anyone who looks into them stand on end with a strong emotional jolt in their minds…

He stepped out with another female outer court disciple which was looking like Amber Rose from modern day earth as he adjusted his robes and walked out in eager strides as he beamed with smiles when he saw his younger brother;

"It is a good thing that you have come, brother… I was about sending someone to come get you…"

The athletic Shen Tang walked out as he gave his beloved younger brother a bear hug lifting him off the ground entirely.
