Support: Primary Training Zone
The interface of the system had changed. There was a “Support” section right now. It stated that it was still a primary training zone. Besides, he was running out of Enlightening Tea Leaves, and he had only five Enlightening Stones left. He had a shocking amount of 5,600 years of cultivation base in reserve, but unfortunately, the cultivation base had little use in forming Dao Seeds.
Jiang Ming took a glance at his record and suddenly felt that the 18th Prince was nothing. He would leave him alone if he did not do anything stupid, but if he wanted to court death, Jiang Ming would get rid of him and send him to make friends with Bai Yu without any hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, a group of people arrived and landed on the platform. They were accompanied by the Sect Master as well as his own Master. There were other 20 to 30 young men, and Jiang Ming reckoned that they must be Zhou Tian and his gang.
Jiang Ming took a look at the Sect Master’s “Status.” It was recorded that Zhou Tian, the 18th Prince, had challenged the Jiuyang Sect to a fight, but none of the people in Jiuyang Sect posed an actual challenge to them. He then insisted on meeting Zi Linglong. The Sect Master had tried his best to talk him out of it, but he refused to. In the end, the Sect Master had no other choice but to bring him and his party to Chuyang Peak since they couldn’t wait any longer to meet her.
“Greetings, Sect Master!” Jiang Ming greeted the Sect Master while taking the opportunity to take on the crowd behind him. Some of them had their arms crossed in front of their chests, while the others held their hands behind their backs. There were even a few of them who lifted their chins and looked at them condescendingly with a smile on their faces.
They all had different looks, but they had one thing in common—arrogance.
Amongst them, Zhou Tian had the most domineering and powerful aura. He did not even take a single effort to tone down his aura, and he looked just like a divine mountain that gave off a silvery light.
“Jiang Ming, meet Zhou Tian, the 18th Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He’s in the Dao Seed Realm, and this is the first time he came to Chuyang Peak. So, remember to behave yourself!” The Sect Master mentioned Zhou Tian’s origin and cultivation base while he was introducing him to Jiang Ming, for he was worried that Jiang Ming would do something inappropriate.
“Nice to meet you, Senior Brother Zhou,” said Jiang Ming.
Zhou Tian threw a glance at him, and then he looked at Zi Linglong.
Jiang Ming maintained the smile on his face, while Zi Linglong’s eyes turned icily cold.
A young man beside Zhou Tian roared, “So you’re Zi Linglong’s rumored good-for-nothing Senior Brother. You’re in no position to call the 18th Prince as your Senior Brother! Get the hell out of the way now!”
Jiang Ming’s face sank while Gu Hai’s face turned red with anger. The Sect Master frowned as well.
Zi Linglong was infuriated. Before anyone could do anything, she appeared right in front of the young man and gave him a slap in the face, sending him flying into the air as he spat a few bloodied teeth out of his mouth.
Unfortunately, this was not the end yet. She leaped into the air, grabbed the young man, and pinned him on the ground, forcing him to kneel before Jiang Ming. Then, she said with an apathetic voice, “What did you say just now?”
Everyone was taken aback by the sudden change of events.
Gu Hai opened his mouth several times, but he did not say anything in the end.
He knew better than anyone how much she cared about her Senior Brother, and she cared about her Senior Brother more than she cared about his Master. Therefore, humiliating him in front of the public was similar to courting death.
Although Zhang Junbao felt the young man deserved it, he was worried about Zi Linglong.
The Sect Master squinted his eyes.
As for Zhou Tian, something flickered across his eyes as he was surprised.
“How dare you!” Another young man behind him stepped forward. He activated his special abilities, forming a rain of light in the air before throwing them all together at Zi Linglong.
“Watch out!”
Some of the disciples who did not know about Zi Linglong’s situation exclaimed in fear and anxiety.
Smack!
In the next moment, she lifted her hand without turning her head and destroyed the rain of light. At the same time, she sent the young man flying down the mountain. Had it not been for his comrade to save him, he would have fallen to his death.
“That’s enough!” Zhou Tian growled as he took a step forward. He unleashed a wave of powerful aura, causing a few First Seats to take a few steps back.
“Let go of Chen Liang!”
Zi Linglong pushed Jiang Ming to her back and glanced at Zhou Tian. She then turned toward the kneeling young man and asked again, “What did you say just now?”
It was only then Chen Liang came around to his senses. He was surprised at first, and then his face contorted in a grimace of anger. “How dare you make me kneel in front of everyone!? Ah, nobody has ever done this to me! I’m going to kill you! I’m going to shred you into a million pieces!”
In the next second, Zi Linglong pumped more force into her palm, sending the young man deeper into the ground. His kneecaps cracked, and blood was pooling under his body.
Chen Liang grunted in pain and became even angrier. “I’ll never forget what you’ve done to me today. I swear to heaven that I’ll get it back from your Senior Brother one day! I’ll torture him and humiliate him to the point that you won’t even be able to recognize who he is!”
Zi Linglong’s eyes turned cold.
Gu Hai’s expression changed, and he shouted, “No!”
“Stop it!” Zhou Tian growled as he knew that Zi Linglong was going to kill Chen Liang. He waved his hand and threw sword energy at her, but Zi Linglong easily intercepted his attack with just a flip of her hand.
After that, she delivered a palm strike at the young man with her right hand, crushing the arrogant young man into the ground. Light immediately left his eyes, and he died wearing a look of disbelief on his face.
It was never in his wildest dreams that Zi Linglong would be this powerful and that she would really want to kill him. After all, he came from Zhong Province and had a big background.
Ever since they had landed in Eastern Region, all of the clans and sects had treated them with high regard. Nobody dared to talk back to them, let alone take their lives.
Therefore, he became more and more arrogant, and finally, it was his arrogance that got him killed.
The crowd gasped at the gruesome scene. Chen Liang’s body had turned into a bloodied mush after receiving the mana-imbued blow from Zi Linglong.
“Terrific. As expected of the owner of the phoenix bloodline!” Zhou Tian exclaimed. Then, he roared, “How dare you kill one of my own? Zi Linglong, if you don’t give me a proper explanation, I’m going to put you down today!”
“An explanation?” Zi Linglong said, her face cold, “You’re stepping on the territory of Chuyang Peak, which belongs to my Senior Brother. However, instead of behaving decently, you humiliated and insulted him.
“Do you really think you can do whatever you want to the sects in Eastern Region just because you came from Zhong Province? Fat chance!
“Besides, it was him who humiliated my Senior Brother in the first place, and there is only one end for those who dare to talk that way to my Senior Brother—Death!
“Zhou Tian, if you don’t give me a proper explanation, I’m going to kill all of you here today!”
After she finished speaking, she was cloaked in a menacing aura, and everyone could sense her killing intent.
“Great, great. Zi Linglong, you truly are one ruthless and determined woman. Initially, I thought you were only in the Golden Core Realm, and I wanted to take you in as one of us. I didn’t expect that you had ascended into the Dao Seed Realm. The speed of your cultivation is so fast that few people can match you even in Zhong Province!” Zhou Tian said as he lifted his brow.
“We’ve yet to come across any worthy opponents ever since we stepped into this land. Fueled by our achievement, we become more and more arrogant and consider everybody and everything beneath us.
“Although we’re wrong, you can’t blame us since we have never been defeated before. Today, if you can defeat me, I’ll apologize to you.. But if you lose, you’re going to come with me!”
