Typical Annoying Young Master Problems

Ling Tian reached the sect and was met with two disciples that were on guard duty in front of the gate leading to the Immortal Sword Sect.

"Senior Brothers, I have returned from my sect mission and ask permission to enter the sect!" Ling Tian did the standard procedure of the sect mission process and clasped his hands in respect.

The sect mission steps consisted of registering the sect mission tablet and then writing down the date you left to the elder in charge. After that, you obtain the signature of the requester after the mission is complete. And the final step is to return the tablet with the signature that proves you completed the mission.

"Junior Brother, this signature is fake... Do you really think we're stupid?" One of them said with a conniving sneer.

Ling Tian raised one of his eyebrows in question and then immediately realized that there was a scheme going on.

"You little brats... What did I do to get schemed against?" Ling Tian questioned with a smirk.

"You offended Young Master Yan, a core disciple, by snagging the girl he likes heart, you idiot!" The guard angrily said after the rude remark made by Ling Tian and his cheeky smirk.

The other guard stepped forward in an attempt to apprehend Ling Tian but he jumped back into a space rift and appeared behind the guard. The guard tried to turn around and parry Ling Tian's next attack but failed to do so as Ling Tian's attack came from his back.

"AHHHH!" The guard was stabbed in the back but it was not a fatal wound as Ling Tian did not want extra trouble.

The other guard was in shock but recovered and went to help his friend. He pulled out his sword and slashed down swiftly at Ling Tian's head.

"You're trying to kill me?" Ling Tian frowned and spatial qi gathered around his sword and he thrust forward, tearing his flesh and innards.

The guard lost a lot of blood immediately and dropped to the floor in pain and agony. His life was in lethal danger at this point because of the massive blood loss.

"What is going on here?" A supervising elder came to the scene right after he woke up from the commotion and the qi disturbances in the air.

"Elder, these two disciples were blocking me from entering just because of some issue I wasn't even aware of!" Ling Tian reasoned.

"Nonsense! You maimed one of them seriously and stabbed another!" The elder was furious.

"Elder, I sensed killing intent in his downward slash and retaliated appropriately. He's lucky I didn't kill him straight up." Ling Tian flashed a cheeky grin with a shrug like it was nothing.

"You!" The elder's beard was huffing up and down. He sent out a palm that made the area rumble just from its pressure and it almost hit Ling Tian but he immediately sensed something was wrong so he jumped right into the space rift he prepared beforehand behind his back.

Ling Tian was still partially hit and he coughed out a mouthful of blood, with some dripping from the sides of his mouth. He pulled out a defensive talisman that crumbled to ashes after he used it to protect himself. The defensive talisman was actually from his master so it was strong enough to protect him from an attack from a False Immortal which was the elder in this case.

"This senile old corrupt geezer. I bet he's in cahoots with that Young Master Yan to be acting this way without checking the facts and evidence." Ling Tian said with a fierce look in his eyes.

He could have known everything that was happening but restricted his powers so he only had his current Spirit Evolution body and other special powers like knowing special techniques such as the ancient spirit qi gathering formation he employed earlier in that cave.

The elder sent out palms in the surrounding area to damage the space to rat out Ling Tian from his hiding place. However, Ling Tian's understanding of space in his current body was quite high so he had a tough time trying to find him.

But every time the elder struck out with a palm, it distorted the space which caused Ling Tian to cough blood and resist. It was too difficult to fight against an opponent that was over four whole cultivation realms above you even if you were strong for your cultivation.

The commotion of the space distortions and aura leaking out caused much of the sect to come and check out what was happening. Ling Tian actually had a plan to cause the surrounding space to distort more and allow the qi that was being shot out by the elder's palms to spread further out.

This caused the distance and sound of the commotion to escalate and reach further out to the sect's area, alerting many people of the fight. Many people came out to see what was happening and some powerful divine senses spread out to check out what was happening from a distance, this was usually from the elders that were far away in their residences.

"Hey, isn't that Elder Yan from the Yan Clan? I heard he's a big supporter of Yan Qiu, the young master of the Yan Clan!"

"What is going on here? Why is Elder Yan fighting with that outer disciple?"

Ling Tian was still wearing his outer sect disciple clothing because he didn't want to attract any attention outside.

Yan Qiu was strolling around the sect after his daily dose of trying to flirt with the lady at the Sect Mission Pagoda and was in a sour mood right now. After his subordinate notified him that an outer sect disciple caught the attention of the girl he was trying to get and she was actually blushing at him, he was so furious to the point he slammed his chair to pieces.

He couldn't do anything until Ling Tian came back because he wasn't the type to hit a girl besides in competitions and tournaments. If only he knew that Ling Tian was an elder's disciple, especially a Heaven Immortal's disciple, he wouldn't have bothered trying to get revenge.

It's just that Ling Tian never put on the Personal Disciple Clothing provided by the elders, so he appeared like an ordinary outer disciple.

Yan Qiu heard the commotion from the distance and came to check it out. He saw that his uncle, Elder Yan shooting out palms all around him in the air, seemingly trying to tear someone out of space.

"Uncle Yan, what are you trying to do?" Yan Qiu inquired.

"Young Master Yan! How are you? I'm just trying to punish this brat for maiming his fellow disciples!" Elder Yan was surprised with joy and then was angry about talking about Ling Tian.

"Ling Tian?" Yan Qiu never heard that name.

"What is going on here?" An elder finally decided to come out and end the chaos.

"Inner Elder Liao! Um, you see, this outer disciple maimed his fellow disciples and didn't want to take responsibility!" Elder Yan smiled. He was only an outer sect elder, so he didn't dare disrespect an Inner Elder even though their Yan Clan was powerful.

"Brat, come out, I won't let them harm you, I just want to know what happened from both sides." Elder Liao looked at where Ling Tian was in the space rift.

'I don't sense any ill intent from this early Earth Immortal realm elder.' Ling Tian walked out with blood dripping down from him.

"Isn't that the guy who stole her heart?" Yan Qiu was immediately incensed at the sight of him.

"I was just returning to the sect to confirm my sect mission but those two disciples blocked me and even tried to harm and kill me!" Ling Tian explained.

"Why though?" Elder Liao inquired further.

"They said that I offended Young Master Yan but I don't even know the reason why!" Ling Tian indignantly said. His acting was superb, even though he actually didn't know why they targeted him since he didn't notice that the girl from before was blushing because of him.

Elder Liao looked at the two disciples that were in question but were currently under medical care after Ling Tian brutally hurt one and stabbed the other.

Yan Qiu recognized those two as they were his subordinates. He was further angered by the scene and fiercely stared at Ling Tian.

"Ling Tian! Come with me to the Life and Death Battle Stage or else!" The Young Master Yan finally reached his temper and challenged Ling Tian to a life and death battle where only one left was left alive.

"Is Young Master Yan crazy, why would he want a battle to the death with an outer sect disciple?"

"Don't call him crazy or you'll suffer from his wrath. I heard that outer sect disciple's name was Ling Tian, and he captured the heart of a girl that Young Master Yan fancied."

"I've just broken through to the Spirit Evolution realm and you want to fight me with such a large gap and advantage?" Ling Tian laughed.

"Yeah, isn't that too much?" People whispered and gossiped.

"Fine! I'll restrict my cultivation to the Spirit Evolution 1st stage, the same as yours!" Yan Qiu wickedly smiled.

"Fine." Ling Tian accepted the challenge.

"Isn't he also crazy? Although they would have the same cultivation, Young Master Yan would have the advantage since he's experienced and older!"

"I'll see you on the stage in 3 days! Also, you can let this one slide, esteemed elders!" Yan Qiu left the scene calmly with his back facing Ling Tian.

'He won't know what's coming...' Ling Tian cackled evilly inside.
