As Li Xiaoyao made this statement, the eyes of those around him filled with added shock and disbelief.

"No wonder that bodyguard called him master; it turns out he is Li Xiaoyao!"

"Rumor has it that Li Xiaoyao is arrogantly unrestrained. This aspect seems quite similar."

"I have seen Li Xiaoyao, and he is definitely not this person."

"I've seen him too, and Li Xiaoyao is definitely not like this in appearance."

The cultivators were shaken into disarray, this man actually claimed to be Li Xiaoyao, but among them, indeed, some had seen Li Xiaoyao, and the man before them looked nothing like him.

But then, who would impersonate Li Xiaoyao for no reason, and offend Monk Gui Hai in public?

After Li Xiaoyao introduced himself, both Zhu Xiaoyue and Tang Youde were utterly shocked.

Was this man really Li Xiaoyao?

If not, then why had he previously intervened to help her? And why had Tang Tiantian risked offending those cultivators to defend him?

If so, then everything made sense.

Zhu Xiaoyue pulled Tang Tiantian closer and asked in a low voice, "Is it really Xiaoyao?"

"Mhm." Tang Tiantian said, "Even though his appearance has changed, it is indeed Xiaoyao."

Upon receiving Tang Tiantian's affirmative answer, Zhu Xiaoyue finally breathed a sigh of relief, then she became somewhat annoyed. This good-for-nothing, seeing her and not even coming over to greet her, causing her to worry needlessly.

"You are Li Xiaoyao?" Despite having weathered many storms, Monk Gui Hai was also somewhat surprised to hear Li Xiaoyao announce himself.

He had been to the Li Family before the opening of the Human Realm and had seen Li Xiaoyao with his own eyes. The man before him was completely different from Li Xiaoyao, and besides, he had long since sent Yi Jie to the Mortal Realm to kill Li Xiaoyao. Now, only eight days had passed since the opening of the Human Realm, and even if this man were truly Li Xiaoyao, it would be absolutely impossible for him to appear here at this time.

"It is I."

Monk Gui Hai scoffed and said, "Young man, do you really take me for a three-year-old child? To deceive me with such words? Only eight days have passed since the opening of the Human Realm. Even if you hadn't died, it's utterly impossible for you to appear here."

Li Xiaoyao shook his head, "It seems you are not yet aware of what happened inside the Human Realm."

"What happened in the Human Realm?" Gui Hai was startled. He had been busy with the botanical garden these last few days and hadn't paid any attention to news from the Human Realm. Moreover, since the Human Realm wasn't over yet, it should be impossible for any news to have leaked out.

"In the Human Realm, Dongshan's Long Family, Anyang's Luo Family, Hehuan Sect, Da Lin Temple, Shenjian Sect, they all wanted my life. Unfortunately, in the Human Realm, I slaughtered them all," Li Xiaoyao said with a smirk, his smile cold and bloodthirsty.

As these words were spoken, another wave of unrest erupted.

The sects and forces Li Xiaoyao just mentioned, among them four are from the Eight Great Sects of Xuan Country, and he claimed to have slaughtered all the disciples from these sects that had entered the Human Realm?

"This kid is blowing his own trumpet too much."

"Dongshan's Long Family, Anyang's Luo Family, Hehuan Sect, Da Lin Temple, any one of these is a dominant power. Moreover, those selected by their families to enter the Human Realm are without a doubt outstanding talents, and this kid dares to say he slaughtered all of them?"

"That's not even the main point; the key is that Monk Gui Hai has already stated he is an impostor of Li Xiaoyao, and yet he still blusters so vigorously."

Hearing his arrogant words, Gui Hai couldn't help but laugh out loud, dismissing Li Xiaoyao as delusional.

"You slaughtered them all?" Gui Hai scoffed, "Young man, no matter who you are, today you dare to cause trouble here, I certainly won't let you off."

Li Xiaoyao was unaffected and fearless; he had come here today already prepared for a fight. The old monk's cultivation level was indeed strong, but after his breakthrough, Li Xiaoyao was not weak either.

Now, Li Xiaoyao's cultivation level had reached the second rank of the Golden Core Realm. His spiritual power was two levels higher than his spiritual power cultivation level, which was at the Nascent Soul Realm. Moreover, his Golden Body had been repaired to 35%. Such physical cultivation was probably unmatched in the Mortal Realm.

Although Gui Hai was a Seventh Rank Cultivator of the Spirit Condensation Realm, it was not certain that he could kill Li Xiaoyao.

However, Da Lin Temple had a deep heritage, with a lineage of 1,600 years. Gui Hai's actual combat power could not be judged solely by his apparent cultivation level.

Li Xiaoyao knew this was going to be a fierce battle.

But the path of the strong was bound to be fraught with hardship and brambles, and Li Xiaoyao was undaunted.

"The people of Da Lin Temple, deserve death! Today, you will not escape either," Li Xiaoyao said slowly, then turned his head to look at Tang Tiantian and the others, "Leave this place immediately."

Battling a Cultivator of the Spirit Condensation Realm could cause destruction capable of obliterating a small county town.

Li Xiaoyao, facing Gui Hai alone, did not have a hundred percent confidence, let alone spare time to care for the women.

Tang Tiantian nodded, along with Zhu Xiaoyue and Tang Youde, turned around to leave. Before Tang Youde left, he glanced at Qin Qing, and seeing her standing close to Wen Ping, a flash of anger crossed his eyes.

After the three left, a Cultivator immediately shouted, "They're escaping!"

Gui Hai smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter, they were just bewitched by this person. The so-called ignorance is not a sin. This matter is not related to them, and should not be overconsidered."

"Master Gui Hai is merciful," several people immediately flattered.

"That young man actually dares to think about fighting with Master Gui Hai; it's laughable."

With his thoughts, Tang Tiantian and the others had already left the botanical garden, Li Xiaoyao then withdrew his focus and looked up at Gui Hai, "The last one I killed seemed to be called Yi Jie. Now, it's your turn."

"Ignorant junior," Gui Hai did not believe Li Xiaoyao's words.

Li Xiaoyao stood his ground, with a rich intent to fight surging from within his body. Within a ten-meter radius around him, it was as though a vacuum had formed.

Even Li Xiaoyao did not dare to be careless when facing a powerful Spirit Condensation Realm opponent. He adjusted himself to his peak state to confront Gui Hai!

"Huh?"

"This aura!"

"He isn't a martial artist, but a Cultivator!"

The Cultivators who had originally looked down on Li Xiaoyao changed their expressions drastically when they felt the overwhelming aura exuding from him; some could hardly believe it.

This aura was so immense that it made them shudder.

"It seems you do have some skills, no wonder you're so arrogant," Gui Hai was also somewhat surprised. He had originally thought Li Xiaoyao was all talk and no action, but it turned out he did indeed possess some strength. At least, based on this aura, Li Xiaoyao's cultivation level had at least reached the Spirit Cultivation Realm.

A young expert of the Spirit Cultivation Realm was rare even in the Eight Great Sects of Xuan Country.

"Then this humble monk will exchange a few moves with you," Gui Hai held one hand behind his back and twiddled his prayer beads with his right hand in front of his chest, his tone calm and full of confidence, "I will let you take three moves. If within three moves, you can make me take half a step back, I will let you go. Otherwise, after three moves, if I am still standing here, I will deliver one palm strike, and whether you live or die will depend on your fate."
