Murong Wen knew full well that offending such an expert would have consequences. However, years of being unhindered by both power and influence had gone to his head. He had faced people stronger than himself and even stronger than his Dao protectors before, yet those people still had to give face to his father and ancestors and ultimately let him go.

"Silence! You will humiliate me no longer! I am the heir of the Murong Clan, Murong Wen! Even if you are stronger than me, are you stronger than my father and my lord ancestor? You should know humility. Take a step back and you will see that the sea is wide and the sky is vast!" Murong Wen declared proudly.
