"Biting off more than one can chew leads to ruin. I need to proceed steadily."
Chen Qing took a deep breath.
Meanwhile, news began to spread within the Sect in small circles. It detailed how Chen Qing had forcefully defeated Luo Chengxuan in Yundan Hall to snatch away six Nourishing God and Nourishing Soul Pills, and how he later arrogantly rejected Brother Nan Zhuoran's goodwill at the Cloud-Viewing Pavilion.
Although the versions varied, the core message remained clear.
Chen Qing, the newly advanced True Inheritor of the True Martial Lineage, rode a wave of immense Momentum and acted with overwhelming force. Not only did he offend the Mystic Sun Lineage, but he also gave absolutely no face to the eldest senior brother of the Nine Heavens Lineage.
For a time, the name Chen Qing became the absolute focus of discussion within the Celestial Treasure Upper Sect.
"Did you hear? Senior Brother Chen Qing from True Martial Peak actually dared to reject Brother Nan Zhuoran!"
