Chapter 2104: Mu Chen"s Name

"Who are those people and what do they want to do?" many people were asking. A short time before, they had helped the Wen Clan keep their deployment mine, they were extremely strong.

After that, they had come to the Yu Clan and when everybody thought they were going to help the Yu Clan, surprisingly, one of them gave up. Were they plotting against the Yu Clan? Three duels had taken place, and the Jing Clan had won two of them. One more, and they"d win and take the Yu Clan"s deployment mine. The strongest cultivator of the Jing Clan, Jing Yan, hadn"t fought yet, who would be able to compete with him?

Therefore, even if Tian Chi said they"d take the Jing Clan"s deployment mine, the members of the Yu Clan were still angry and all looked unsightly. If they didn"t manage to keep their own deployment mine, how would they be able to take the Jing Clan"s? What about the Wen Clan and the Feng Clan? If they didn"t share a part of the profits, how would the Yu Clan be able to keep the Jing Clan under control?

The Yu Clan tried to think of a solution, but they felt desperate, as if they had already lost. They were almost certain they couldn"t win both of the last two battles.

"Fourth battle!" said a strong cultivator of the Jing Clan at that moment. A strong cultivator jumped onto the battle stage. This time, the Jing Clan didn"t make Jing Yan fight because they still had hope. They hoped they would not need to make him fight. They hoped to take the deployment mine after the fourth duel. That way, they would still have some trump cards in case the three other clans joined hands to take their deployment mine.

However, the Yu Clan couldn"t give the Jing Clan such an opportunity. They sent Su Mu from the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry for that battle and won it. They had both won two duels now.

It was time for the last fight!

For this battle, the Yu Clan sent Yu Lin. The Jing Clan sent Jing Yan. They were both terrifying deployment spell casters. Their battle would determine who would get an extra deployment mine.

"Yu Lin, we can only rely on you now," said the strong cultivators of the Yu Clan. Yu Lin was their last hope. This battle would be extremely difficult, but they couldn"t afford to lose. Actually, Jing Yan was stronger than Yu Lin. He shouldn"t lose, either. Therefore, the Yu Clan had the impression they had already lost their deployment mine.

Thinking about that, the members of the Yu Clan all felt depressed. Were they going to lose a deployment mine they had owned for thousands of years?

Yu Lin took a deep breath. He had to fight. He had no other choice. He had to use his full strength. Jing Yan was staring at him.

"Wait." When Yu Lin started heading to the battle stage, Tian Chi spoke up from the group of people from the Wen Clan.

The Yu Clan frowned and looked over at him icily. What did that guy want? A moment before, because of him, they had lost a battle!

Tian Chi ignored Yu Lin"s expression and ran over to the people of the Jing Clan.

"Will Mu Chen show up?" Tian Chi asked the members of the Jing Clan. When Jing Xiao Yue heard him, she was stupefied. The situation was more complex than she had expected. Why had Lin Feng asked about Mu Chen? And now, why was this guy asking about him?

Did they know something about Mu Chen?

The strong cultivators of the Jing Clan frowned. The Jing Clan had publicly announced that Mu Chen had left and didn"t dare show up, but actually he had been imprisoned by them, he was in their black tower. They couldn"t say that, of course!

"It"s Mu Chen"s problem. What does that have to do with the Jing Clan?" retorted a strong cultivator of the Jing Clan icily.

"If Mu Chen shows up, we won"t get involved in your deployment mine compet.i.tion. If you are sure that Mu Chen won"t show up, we"ll use our full strength to help the Yu, Wen, and Feng clans take your deployment mine!" warned Tian Chi. He sounded neither angry nor happy, quite calm and composed. When the members of the Jing Clan heard him, they all frowned and looked unhappy.

"Insolent!" said a strong cultivator of the Jing Clan icily.

Jing Yan shouted coldly, "If you want to fight, I"ll fight against you!"

Tian Chi remained silent and nodded. Then, he turned around and looked back at the people from the Feng Clan. Hou Qing Lin, Ruo Xie and the others came out of their group and rose up in the air, they said to the members of the Feng Clan, "We"ll help the members of the Feng Clan take the Jing Clan"s deployment mine, does the Feng Clan agree?"

"They are together!" When everyone saw that, they frowned. Those strangers who were extremely talented were a group!

At that moment, everybody understood something abnormal was going on.

The eyes of the Feng Clan"s members twinkled. Many people stood up and looked at Hou Qing Lin and said, "Brother Hou, do you know them?"

"Ruo Xie, Tian Chi, and the others are my fellow disciples." said Hou Qing Lin calmly. The eyes of the Feng Clan"s members glittered. Ruo Xie and Tian Chi were extremely strong, they had seen that with their own eyes. They were all Hou Qing Lin"s fellow disciples. If Ruo Xie and the others respected Hou Qing Lin that much, it meant that Hou Qing Lin was even more terrifying than they were…

When they thought about that, the members of the Feng Clan were excited. If they agreed, they might be able to take the Feng Clan"s deployment mine!

"Alright, today is our deployment mine compet.i.tion! Since you, Brother Hou, want to help us, we are naturally ready to use our full strength to take their deployment mine." replied the strong cultivators of the Feng Clan happily.

Hou Qing Lin nodded at Tian Chi, and Tian Chi looked at the members of the Wen Clan.

"We all agree to help the Wen Clan take the Jing Clan"s deployment mine too. What does the Wen Clan think?" asked Tian Chi as well.

"We agree, of course!" replied the strong cultivators of the Wen Clan, smiling broadly. How could they refuse?

At that moment, the members of the Jing Clan all looked very upset. Those people were plotting against them!

"Jing Yan, no matter what, you have to win this battle and obtain the Yu Clan"s deployment mine!" said the strong cultivators of the Jing Clan. They had the feeling that losing their deployment mine was suddenly a possibility. They hadn"t thought these people would plot against them.

"Yes!" agreed Jing Yan firmly.

However, at that moment, Tian Chi said to the members of the Yu Clan, "We agree to help the Yu Clan obtain the Jing Clan"s deployment mine and to protect your own. Trust me."

The strong cultivators of the Yu Clan looked at Tian Chi. Trust him once again?

"What do you intend to do?" asked a strong cultivator of the Yu Clan.

"Leave this last battle to us," said Tian Chi calmly. The strong cultivators of the Yu Clan frowned. Could they gamble with their deployment mine at this stage?

"I"ve heard that Yu Lin wasn"t as strong as Jing Yan. If Yu Lin fights, you"re almost certain to lose the deployment mine. If Yu Lin loses, you won"t have any other strong cultivator to fight. If we take their mine, you"ll get your share of the profits. If you trust me, even if we lose, you"ll still be able to share the Jing Clan"s deployment mine," continued Tian Chi.

The members of the Yu Clan remained silent for a few minutes, talking telepathically. After a few minutes, someone asked, "Who will you send?"

"Me," said someone.

Everybody turned around and saw a blind sword cultivator. He walked out slowly, his eyes all white. He was quite calm, and didn"t look like a strong cultivator at all.

When the Yu Clan saw Jian Mang, they remained silent. Could they rely on a blind man to keep their deployment mine?

"I don"t agree," said Yu Lin icily.

"You don"t agree, that"s your problem. We came to help. If your mine gets stolen, you won"t be able to help us take the Jing Clan"s deployment mine afterwards, so…" reb.u.t.ted Tian Chi icily.

"Alright, you can do it!" said a strong cultivator of the Yu Clan at that moment.

"Grandpa?!" Yu Lin was stupefied.

"They"re right. The chances of you winning are low. Even if we lost, we"ll still be able to take the Jing Clan"s deployment mine. Let them fight!" said the old man calmly. All the other members of the Yu Clan remained silent.

Jian Mang slowly walked out and landed on the battle stage. He looked like an ordinary man, and on top of that a blind man.

Jing Yan also jumped and landed on the battle stage, making the whole deployment mine area shake violently. He had an advanced understanding of deployment spells, and was extremely strong. The air he had was like he had won already.

"You"ll die," promised Jing Yan icily. Then he started moving, and the air began to rumble with power. The whole deployment mine was trembling. Furious dragons roared, and energies surged towards Jian Mang.

At that moment, Jian Mang also moved. He used his speed, and moved faster than almost anyone in the crowd could follow.

Sword lights appeared and sliced through the air, slashed through the dragons. They couldn"t even see his after-images!

"So fast, like light!" blurted out someone.

Jing Yan was astonished, too. He frantically released as much Qi as he could as he cast deployment spells. An incredible amount of strength tried to catch Jian Mang. However, at the same time, Jian Mang suddenly opened his eyes and brilliant lights emerged from them. When Jing Yan saw them, he was blinded.

"No!" Jing Yan"s heart twitched. What kind of strength was this? His soul was being oppressed. Light Dao! He had had no time to fully release his strength!

At that moment, the members of the Jing Clan were astonished and shaking, they stood up and shouted, "Jing Yan!"

At that moment, they were all surprised, and worried for Jing Yan!

The sword lights just flickered, and destroyed everything in their way. Blood splashed. The sword lights nearly cut Jing Yan"s body in two. The strong cultivators of the Jing Clan jumped out to catch him.

They stopped the bleeding. People"s hearts were pounding. How strong! Who were these people?!

"Who are you?" the strong cultivators of the Jing Clan demanded of Jian Mang. This bunch of b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, they had thoroughly ruined the Jing Clan"s plans… and now they wanted to take the Jing Clan"s deployment mine!

Hou Qing Lin came out and stood in the air, he looked at the members of the Jing Clan.

"My name is Hou Qing Lin. Mu Chen is my teacher!"

"My name is Tian Chi, Mu Chen calls me Little Chi, Mu Chen is my teacher!"

"My name is Ruo Xie, Mu Chen is my teacher!"

They all came out and stood in the air, Mu Chen"s name was resonating everywhere and making Qing Shan City shake!

Chapter 2105: Postpone

Those geniuses all shouted Mu Chen"s name at the same time.

Mu Chen is my teacher!

Now they couldn"t forget Mu Chen"s name!

These incredible geniuses were Mu Chen"s disciples! They had come for Mu Chen!

The Jing Clan despised Mu Chen, they had thought he wasn"t good enough to be engaged to Jing Xiao Yue. But now his disciples had come to Qing Shan City for him, and they were furious!

Everybody understood that they had come for Mu Chen.

The members of the Jing Clan understood that now, too.

No wonder this group of people had come to ruin their plans. They even wanted to help the other clans take their deployment mine. Everything was for Mu Chen!

However, Mu Chen wasn"t really strong, why were his disciples so strong?

At that moment, Jing Xiao Yue"s heart was pounding. These young people were at their prime, they were all Mu Chen"s disciples. They had come for Mu Chen. If Mu Chen had seen that, he would have been so proud. But where was he?

At that moment, the members of the Yu Clan, the Wen Clan and the Feng Clan were all stupefied. They admired Mu Chen for having raised such great disciples.

The terrifying blind sword cultivator had cut Jing Yan in two in one sword strike. His sword attacks were incredible. Were there stronger cultivators than him in this group of people?

How strong was Hou Qing Lin?

Yu Lin"s heart was pounding. He was a genius from the Yu Clan, the best of his generation in his clan. He had been accepted at the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry. Everybody admired him in their Clan. In Qing Shan City, everybody knew who he was. It was the same for Jing Yan, who was just a bit more famous than him in Qing Shan City… but he had been cut in two with one sword strike.

If that sword had been aimed at him, what would have happened?

Yu Lin didn"t dare imagine. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Where were these people from? Why were they so strong?

That sword had made Yu Lin shake. In Qing Shan City, apart from Jing Yan, he looked down on everyone else. He had heard of Mu Chen, but he had never really cared about him. Now he wanted to know who he was, how had he raised such strong disciples?

Mu Chen is my teacher!

Those five words resonated in people"s thoughts!

Yu Clan who was behind the whole crowd of people from the Yu Clan was staring at Lin Feng.

"They"re all your fellow disciples?" Yu Xin asked Lin Feng telepathically. She remembered what Lin Feng had said, and now she understood.

Lin Feng nodded once, barely. He looked at the cultivators of the Jing Clan. Were they going to release Mu Chen?

Yu Xin put her hand on her heart as she exhaled, it was pounding. This bunch of guys was terrifying… Ruo Xie had killed the Fast Sword of Qing Shan in one sword strike, and the blind sword cultivator had defeated Jing Yan in one sword strike.

She was curious to see how strong Lin Feng was!

—

Hou Qing Lin and the others were standing there proudly. They all stared at the members of the Jing Clan.

"Five battles, the Yu Clan won three. The Yu Clan"s deployment mine remains theirs," said someone slowly. All the members of the Yu Clan smiled broadly. Finally, it was over and they could keep their deployment mine. They had made the right decision!

The members of the Jing Clan were furious. Not only hadn"t they managed to take the three other clans" deployment mines, but now they risked losing their own.

"According to the four clans" agreement, the Yu Clan, Wen Clan and Feng Clan can challenge the Jing Clan to take their deployment mine," continued Hou Qing Lin slowly. The members of the Jing Clan all grimaced, even more furious. They couldn"t do anything about this.

If they fought, they"d lose!

Therefore, they all remained silent. Could they even fight?

Even Jing Yan and Jing Ran stood no chance!

The crowd was staring at Hou Qing Lin and the others. Were they furious because of Mu Chen?

"My teacher Mu Chen fell in love with Jing Xiao Yue. You could have refused and that"s all. Why deceive Jing Xiao Yue though? Why pretend you made an agreement when you actually imprisoned him in the black tower? You are such b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!" said someone else. The crowd was stupefied. Mu Chen was trapped in the Jing Clan"s black tower?

"What!" Jing Xiao Yue looked desperate, her face turned deathly pale. She looked at a middle-aged man and shouted extremely loudly, "That"s the agreement you told me about?!"

The strong cultivators of the Jing Clan all looked very unsightly. They were speechless.

"No wonder, no wonder that you were so sure that Mu Chen wouldn"t show up! You"re so cruel!" Jing Xiao Yue was petrified, furious, crushed! She had never thought her family members would lie to her like that!

"Xiao Yue, it was for your own good!" whispered Jing Xiao Yue"s father, walking up to her.

"For my own good?" Jing Xiao Yue smiled mockingly, "It"s really for my own good! Hehe!"

At that moment, the members of the Jing Clan all looked at Hou Qing Lin and the others icily and said, "What do you want to do?"

"Release our teacher and don"t prevent Jing Xiao Yue from leaving if she wants to. That way, we won"t take your deployment mine," stated Hou Qing Lin icily. The members of the Jing Clan felt uncomfortable. A group of young people was threatening them. They were extremely talented, but in the eyes of the Jing Clan, they were just babies.

The members of the Jing Clan remained silent. How could they keep their deployment mine? If they accepted, they"d fight and probably lose their mine! They would also lose ma.s.sive amounts of face. Everybody already thought they were shameless for what they done to Mu Chen. Everybody would make fun of the Jing Clan in Qing Shan City!

Everybody was waiting for their reply. The Jing Clan, the best clan of deployment spell casters in Qing Shan City, what were they going to do?

"Give us three days to think," said a strong cultivator of the Jing Clan.

Hou Qing Lin and the others frowned and said icily, "Will you release him or not, why would you need three days to think?"

"We want to postpone the deployment mine compet.i.tion for three days. If the Yu, Feng, and Wen clans don"t agree, then we"ll resort to war. Of course, we don"t hope to go that far. We also propose to increase the limit of three people to five!" said the strong cultivators of the Jing Clan. They didn"t look at Hou Qing Lin and the others anymore. They didn"t fear Hou Qing Lin, the deployment mines were more important.

The Jing Clan was sly. They changed the topic, not replying to Hou Qing Lin"s question. They just said they wanted to wait for three days.

The members of the three clans looked at Hou Qing Lin and the others. After all, they couldn"t fight over the deployment mines anymore, they could only rely on those strong young people.

"Alright, we"ll give you three days. If my teacher runs into trouble during those three days, we"ll use our full strength to destroy the Jing Clan," said Hou Qing Lin icily. They were worried that the Jing Clan would harm Mu Chen. They had come from the Dark Night Region, n.o.body would support them in G.o.dly Clouds. If they threatened the Jing Clan, maybe they wouldn"t harm Mu Chen.

"In three days, we"ll answer your question," said the strong cultivators of the Jing Clan evasively. They all stood up and left silently. Jing Xiao Yue left, too. She was going to the black tower!

Tiantai"s cultivators looked glum. However, in three days, the Jing Clan wouldn"t be able to avoid the issue.

"Brother Hou, three days will pa.s.s quickly. I"m sure that Mu Chen will come back safe and sound. Come with us to the Feng Clan to rest for these three days."

"Master Tian Chi. Let"s go back too. You"ll have a good rest in the Wen Clan."

The Feng Clan and Wen Clan all invited these incredible young people to go with them. If their young people exchanged views on cultivation with these young people, it would be extremely beneficial.

The strong cultivators of the Yu Clan walked up to Hou Qing Lin and the others, and Yu Kun said, "You are all extraordinary geniuses. If you have time, please come to the Yu Clan, we"ll treat you well as a sign of grat.i.tude for today."

When Hou Qing Lin and the others heard that, they looked at Lin Feng and the others in the distance. Lin Feng didn"t say anything, which meant that they hadn"t treated him that well, so they didn"t need to go there.

As long as Lin Feng stayed there, the Yu Clan didn"t need anyone else, just like before.

"No need. We"re going back to the Feng Clan and Wen Clan. We"ll see one another in three days, we hope the Yu Clan will help us then."

"Yes, you helped us keep our deployment mine. We will do our best to save Mu Chen. It"s a pity that you"re not willing to come to the Yu Clan though," Yu Kun sighed.

"When we save Mu Chen, we"ll come visit your clan," said Hou Qing Lin politely. After a few sentences, they left.

Everybody dispersed. The Yu Clan also left. Yu Xin wanted to say something, but she didn"t. She wanted to tell the Yu Clan that Lin Feng was their friend, too, but since Lin Feng didn"t say anything, she tried to control herself. Maybe that he had his own ideas…

"Three days!" whispered Lin Feng. He sincerely hoped the Jing Clan would release Mu Chen.

—

At the same time, the members of the Yu Clan were chatting.

"Yu Lin, if you have time, go to the Feng Clan and Wen Clan to spend some time with those geniuses and exchange views on cultivation."

"Indeed, those people are extremely strong!" sighed Yu Ye.

As if Yu Kun had thought of something, he gazed into the distance and looked at Lin Feng, who was still next to Yu Xin, and smiled. "Lin Feng, did you learn anything from the battles today?"

"Yes!" Lin Feng nodded.

"The world of cultivation is vast, your teacher is a Great Scholar, he probably knows some great deployment spells. However, don"t forget about cultivation itself, you probably learned a lot today," said Yu Kun with a smile. Yu Xin"s eyes twinkled; she wanted to say something, but she didn"t!

Chapter 2106: News

In the Yu Clan…

Lin Feng was in his spirit world, seated cross-legged. In front of him, someone was running around at lightning speed unceasingly.

Suddenly, the silhouette exploded into fighting, booms accompanying every movement. Qi rolled as the air shook. Qi condensed into a punch and turned into a vortex. Cosmic energies dance and blew apart. That punch was pure strength!

"Dancing Windy Clouds," said a giant next to Lin Feng. The silhouette changed. Energies pulsed continuously. A hand streaked across the sky, leaving a beautiful trail behind. Many silhouettes appeared, the wind moaned and condensed, energies continued pulsing. The energies didn"t completely condense, they dispersed and the silhouette fell back to the ground.

"It"s still not enough. When your Nine Dancing Windy Clouds are better, you"ll be able to control that body. But to control the full strength of that body, you"ll need to study much more," said the giant. That silhouette looked at the giant and nodded.

Lin Feng controlled the Saint"s body with his soul, it didn"t have a consciousness so he could control it easily. He needed to "drive" it, though, and for that he needed to learn how to move it quickly and how to use its full strength. But his soul wasn"t strong enough. He did his best, though, and tried to get more familiar with it. After all, a Saint"s punch was much more powerful than his own!

"I"ll continue practicing cultivation." said the Saint nodding. Then he continued running and getting familiar with that body. A thread of Lin Feng"s soul came out of the body and moved back into his body. His real body opened his eyes.

—

In the Jing Clan…

People were still furious. Jing Yan"s injuries were much better. At his cultivation level, as long as someone"s physical body wasn"t completely destroyed, they could recover. However, they couldn"t have the same strength as before for a long time when their injuries were too serious, especially in Jing Yan"s case, after all, Jian Mang"s sword attack contained Light Dao.

"What should we do, master?" Many people were looking at an old man at that moment. He was one of the two Saint Emperors of the Jing Clan.

"Jing Yan, how many resources does your teacher have?" the old man asked Jing Yan.

"He has a lot of resources, he wants to create a deployment spell clan. But first we have to give him one third of the deployment mine," replied Jing Yan.

When the crowd heard him, they were stupefied. One-third of the deployment mine?! Did they want to destroy the Jing Clan?

"That"s too much! Hand Mu Chen over! Even if we lose face, at least we won"t need to lose one-third of the deployment mine!" said someone angrily. One-third was too much!

"Uncle, you"re wrong. He wants to create a clan. He"ll definitely make the Jing Clan happy," replied Jing Yan carefully.

His uncle frowned and said, "What you mean is that he"ll destroy the three other clans?"

"Of course! Then we"ll share equally. The Jing Clan won"t lose anything that way!" said Jing Yan icily. He had suffered a crus.h.i.+ng defeat. He didn"t want the Jing Clan to give in and release Mu Chen.

"Can we keep the situation under control?"

"My teacher is greedy, but he won"t go too far. Besides, he won"t open a clan of deployment spell casters in Qing Shan City, he just needs resources," Jing Yan promised.

"If your teacher gets involved, can he definitely defeat those people? After all, they are extremely strong."

"Don"t worry. All my fellow disciples are extremely strong. Those people won"t be able to escape from them. Besides, many of their people have already fought. They must have, at most, one or two people who are strong as that blind sword cultivator. Regarding Yu Lin, none of my fellow disciples is weaker than him. One of my friends is even getting ready for the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds," Jing Yan said calmly.

He knew how strong his fellow disciples were. He couldn"t invite his fellow disciples who were getting ready for the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds even if they were good friends, only his teacher could do that.

When the members of the Jing Clan heard Jing Yan, they all remained silent. One middle-aged man asked, "Jing Yan, what about your sister?"

"After that, we"ll kill Mu Chen. Prevent her from leaving for a while, then after some time she"ll forget about him and we"ll introduce a nice and outstanding man to her." said Jing Yan. Everybody remained silent again. They all looked at the old leader of the Jing Clan. He was the only one who could make the final decisions.

Finally, his eyes glittered and he said to Jing Yan, "Tell your teacher about this. If he promises he won"t open a Clan in Qing Shan City, and if he accepts sharing the deployment mines with us, invite him to come."

"Alright." Jing Yan"s eyes glittered and he nodded. "Leave it to me!"

—————

The Yu, Wen, and Feng clans didn"t know about this agreement. Lin Feng and Hou Qing Lin didn"t know, either. They were calmly waiting for the three days to pa.s.s.

One day was left. Some news spread that the Jing Clan accepted the challenge. Also, they wanted to change the place of the battles to the central battlefield of Qing Shan City. They seemed to be conveying a hidden message: if we can"t protect the deployment mine, it doesn"t matter, n.o.body will be able to take it from us anyway!

The news spread everywhere in Qing Shan City. People in Qing Shan City were talking about it everywhere. Everybody knew and took delight in talking about the battle which had taken place two days before. Everybody knew what had happened and who Mu Chen was. They also knew that Mu Chen"s disciples were terrifying. Now the Jing Clan had surprisingly accepted their challenge… did they have other trump cards?

Everybody was impatient and couldn"t wait to see the battle. Some people had seen how strong Jian Mang and the others were, and they couldn"t wait to see those who hadn"t fought yet. Some of them had missed the battles, and they didn"t want to miss them this time. Maybe this time the battles were going to be even better than two days before!

——

In the Yu Clan, Yu Xin saw Lin Feng, and told him the news. Lin Feng frowned. He hoped to rescue Mu Chen without a fight. However, the Jing Clan wouldn"t give them such an opportunity.

"Does the Jing Clan have other trump cards?" asked Lin Feng to Yu Xin.

"No. The Jing Clan"s strongest cultivator is Jing Yan and he suffered a crus.h.i.+ng defeat. In any case, he can"t fight again. The only trump card they have would cost them a lot: they"d need to ask someone outside for help. However, your friends are all so strong, asking for help would be useless. In Qing Shan City, there aren"t such terrifying cultivators, unless…"

Yu Xin looked pensive and frowned.

"Unless what?" asked Lin Feng.

"You know that Jing Yan and Yu Lin are from the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry. They have some contacts. Unless they ask the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry for help, they can"t do much, and I don"t think Jing Yan can get them to help. He needs some extremely strong cultivators for that." said Yu Xin.

Lin Feng was suddenly a bit worried. It was indeed a resource the Jing Clan could mine…

"That bunch of b.a.s.t.a.r.ds," said Tantai icily. "We should have destroyed them on that day and stolen their deployment mine."

"Things aren"t that easy. The Jing Clan said they needed time, do you think the three clans could have started a war against them?" Yu Xin said to Tantai. The answer was obvious.

"Hmph! Even if they invite people from the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry, so what? I"ll crush them with one punch!" said Tantai. He hadn"t fought the previous time. He was ready to fight now!

Yu Xin"s beautiful eyes twinkled and she smiled at Tantai. "Big boy, how strong are you?"

"Eh, I think I should be able to defeat Jing Yan easily," said Tantai smiled and scratched his head. Yu Xin was stupefied and speechless. Jing Yan was the strongest cultivator of Qing Shan City in his generation. This guy dared say he could defeat him easily?

"What about him?" asked Yu Xin, smiling at Tantai and pointing at Lin Feng. Tantai listened to Lin Feng all the time, so if he could defeat Jing Yan easily, what about Lin Feng?…

Tantai shook his head and smiled, "I"m not sure either, to be honest."

Silly boy, thought Yu Xin looking at Tantai.

"Lin Feng, Yu Xin!" said someone at that moment. They turned around, to see Yu Ye and Su Mu arrived.

"Sister Ye!" said Yu Xin politely. After all, Yu Ye had a high position in the Clan, so she had to be polite. She couldn"t act as naturally as she could when she was with Lin Feng and Tantai.

Yu Ye nodded and didn"t look at her, turning and saying to Lin Feng, "Lin Feng, the Jing Clan doesn"t intend to give up their deployment mine. It will be a deadly fight. It has nothing to do with you, however, there will be some dangerous fights. If you want, we can go and watch together."

"Alright, good," said Lin Feng, smiling and nodding. Of course he was going to go!

"The Jing Clan will regret everything!" said Tantai icily.

When Su Mu heard Tantai, he looked at him disdainfully and asked, "You think the Jing Clan will lose?"

"Of course!" said Tantai.

Su Mu shook his head and left with Yu Ye. He said indifferently, "This time, the Jing Clan accepted the challenge, it means that they will pay the full price and invite people from the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry to come and help. With the strong cultivators of the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry, they can"t lose."

Su Mu was also from the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry, he knew them quite well. If the Jing Clan invited people from the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry, the Jing Clan couldn"t possibly lose. The Jing Clan was able to oppress three clans alone before, and if Hou Qing Lin hadn"t gotten involved, they could have taken all three mines themselves!

Chapter 2107: Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry"s Strong Cultivators

"He thinks that the cultivators of the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry are the strongest in the world. They got crushed two days ago, though!" Tantai said icily, watching Su Mu leave. "The Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry isn"t the best."

Tantai talked loudly and Su Mu heard him, suddenly turning around and looking at Tantai icily. Even though the Yu Clan might be going to face some cultivators from the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry, Su Mu was from there too, and he couldn"t let anyone humiliate the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry.

"People like you can"t understand. You think everyone is as strong as that blind sword cultivator?" said Su Mu smiling icily, then he said to Yu Ye, "Little Ye, how can the Yu Clan have guests like this?"

He left and disappeared into the distance. Yu Ye smiled wryly. She turned around and glanced at Lin Feng. He was a guest in the Yu Clan, but she said nothing. She just left with Su Mu. Even though Lin Feng"s teacher was a Great Scholar, Lin Feng"s social status wasn"t as high as Su Mu"s. Su Mu was a member of the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry, and he was also trying to get close to her.

"Empty words." said Tantai, watching Su Mu leave. He was furious and explosive Qi began to build around him. "I really want to teach him a good lesson."

"No need," said Lin Feng calmly. At that moment, he was thinking about Mu Chen. If the Jing Clan did that, what could he do on the day after?

Even if he defeated the Jing Clan and obtained their deployment mine, what could he do afterwards? Obtaining a deployment mine wouldn"t make them release Mu Chen.

And how would the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry get involved?

He couldn"t do anything but wait…

———————-

Time seemed to pa.s.s so slowly. The morning of the next day, Lin Feng, Yu Xin, and Tantai gathered together with the other strong cultivators of the Yu Clan. They were getting ready to depart for the fight.

When the strong cultivators of the Yu Clan arrived, they noticed that Lin Feng and Tantai had already arrived. They were surprised. Yu Kun smiled and said, "Lin Feng, my boy, you"re really determined."

"He"s just very ignorant!" said Su Mu, who was standing next to Yu Kun. Yu Kun was surprised and looked at Yu Ye strangely.

Yu Ye smiled wryly and used telepathy to explain to Yu Kun what had happened the day before. Yu Kun didn"t say anything and after that, he didn"t say anything else to Lin Feng.

The group of people rose up into the air and flew towards the fight"s location. The members of the Wen Clan and the Feng Clan were also heading there. Apart from them, there were many other people gathered there who wanted to watch.

"The Yu Clan is here. Only the Jing Clan hasn"t arrived yet," the crowd murmured when they saw the members of the Yu Clan arrive. Their eyes were twinkling. Those who had helped the three clans defeat the Jing Clan three days before were there too, Hou Qing Lin and the others. They had come for Mu Chen, what were they going to do?

"Brother Hou, have you already thought of the people for the five battles today?" a strong Yu Clan cultivator asked Hou Qing Lin, who was with the members of the Feng Clan. Hou Qing Lin was a junior in comparison with him, but he respectfully called him Brother.

"We"ll see who can fight on the Jing Clan"s side," said Hou Qing Lin calmly. He looked at Lin Feng, a little worried. What could they do if the Jing Clan refused to release Mu Chen?

"Yes, I"m convinced your friends are all extremely strong, we"ll win!" said the Yu cultivator, smiling thinly. If the Jing Clan had called people from the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry, it would be difficult for Hou Qing Lin and the others to do as they wished…

"People from the Jing Clan are here!" The crowd gazed into the distance. A group of strong cultivators arrived slowly. Even the elder of the Jing Clan had come personally. Jing Yan and Jing Ran were there as well.

They looked confident and at ease as they looked over the crowd. Many people had cold sweats. They had the impression there was something wrong.

"Jing Clan, you came to battle, but are you going to release our teacher?" asked Hou Qing Lin calmly while walking forwards. However, he wasn"t calm on the inside.

"Fight!" said a strong cultivator of the Jing Clan indifferently. Hou Qing Lin took a deep breath and said, "Tiantai"s disciple will step onto the battle stage to kill today."

A terrifying energy began to fill the air. The sun was s.h.i.+ning and it was a warm day, but those energies felt ice-cold. Hou Qing Lin was crazy.

"Kill people?" The strong cultivators of the Jing Clan smiled cruelly and said, "You can try!"

When the crowd saw their cold smiles, they knew something strange was going on. In the distance, some Qi began to surge, and the wind roared furiously. A powerful and ferocious Qi swept over.

"What a powerful b.e.s.t.i.a.l Qi. What kind of beast is that?" thought the crowd gazing into the distance. In front of the sun, there was a gigantic beast. It had the head of a lion and the body of a bird, with gigantic wings. It looked particularly ferocious, and made the whole crowd s.h.i.+ver.

"What a terrifying beast. It seems extremely strong." The crowd was astonished, especially when they saw a group of five people standing on that beast.

On the edge of the wings, there were two people wearing deployment robes, their Qi looked extraordinary. They also glanced at the watching crowd disdainfully. On the head of the beast was a young man, his robe fluttering in the wind like an aloof king.

"It"s him." Yu Lin frowned. His cheek twitched. The Jing Clan had invited him too… and the four other people were strong, too. The three clans were definitely going to lose!

"Phew, he surprisingly came. What price did the Jing Clan pay…?"

Su Mu took a deep breath when he saw that young man. His heart even started pounding. Even though the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry was a powerful group, there weren"t many people who were at the very top of the Huang Qi layer there, and the young man on the head of the beast was one of them. He was initially getting ready for the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, but today he had come to Qing Shan City.

When the Yu Clan"s members saw Yu Lin and Su Mu"s expressions, they realized something was going on and asked Yu Lin, "Who"s that?"

"Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry, a cultivator of the top of the Huang Qi layer who has no enemy at the same cultivation level," Yu Lin said solemnly and respectfully.

A cultivator of the top of the Huang Qi layer who had no enemy at the same level. Some people were more talented than some others, some people broke through to the Di Qi layer when they reached such a level, but some people needed more time to make their strength mature. Those people could easily kill ordinary great emperors. Some people who had no enemy at the same level were even stronger than some people who had already broken through. They were rare and powerful.

When Lin Feng heard the words "who has no enemy at the same level", he remembered those cultivators of the very top of the Zun Qi layer who had no enemies at the same level, either. Back then, those people understood cosmic energies already or their force had already been multiplied by a thousand. However, at the level of the Huang Qi layer, it meant only one thing: fighting abilities!

n.o.body said that about themselves, not even geniuses. The continent was too big, there couldn"t be one person who had no enemy at the same level in the whole world. Therefore, it referred to some people who were getting closer and closer to the literal meaning of that concept. In G.o.dly Clouds, it probably meant that that person was qualified to partic.i.p.ate to the Meeting of the Continent of the Nine Clouds.

"A cultivator who has no enemy at the same level." All the members of the Yu Clan were stupefied.

Then they heard Su Mu say, "He"s also an emperor. However, Ye Que can kill ordinary emperors of the top of the Huang Qi layer.

"Ye Que is very strong. In the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry, he"s like an overlord," said Yu Lin and Su Mu. The faces of the Yu Clan"s strong cultivators twitched. The Jing Clan had surprisingly invited such terrifying people. They really wanted to protect their deployment mine!

"What about the four others?"

"They"re also extremely strong. I can"t partic.i.p.ate in that battle. Let them fight," Yu Lin said indifferently. He wanted to give up the Jing Clan"s deployment mine already. He was convinced that if Hou Qing Lin and the others fought, they were going to die!

Lin Feng overheard Yu Lin and Su Mu. He frowned, maybe they were afraid not because those people were too strong, but because those people"s social status was too high in the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry. The Jing Clan had surprisingly invited such people!

Lin Feng thought about that, the members of the Yu Clan also thought about that. At that moment, they looked pensive. What price had the Jing Clan paid to bring these people here?

I hope that Yu Lin and Su Mu will make friends with those people when they go back to the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry. That way, they will never do anything against the Yu Clan, thought some strong cultivators of the Yu Clan.

The beast landed in front of the members of the Jing Clan. The members of the Jing Clan greeted them politely. Many people from Qing Shan City had now realized there was something wrong.

"Brother Ye Que, I wouldn"t have thought you would come to Qing Shan City. If I had known that, I would have come to pick you up," said Su Mu politely, bowing before Ye Que who was on that beast.

"Brother Ye Que, since you came to Qing Shan City, the Yu Clan will do their best to welcome you warmly." said Yu Lin, waving at Ye Que politely. Many people were speechless. Yu Lin and Su Mu were members of the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry too, and they were so polite to that man who was of the same generation as them. It meant that they belonged to different worlds!

Chapter 2108: Humiliation

When Ye Que heard Yu Lin and Su Mu, he looked at the members of the Yu Clan and said indifferently, "Since you are from the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry, you may not partic.i.p.ate today."

"Understood, brother!" Yu Lin and Su Mu nodded.

When the members of the Feng and Wen Clans heard that, they pulled long faces, Su Mu and Yu Lin were so respectful to him, they didn"t even dare contradict him! Initially, they had thought Yu Lin would help, but now he didn"t dare fight!

The members of the Feng Clan and the Wen Clan looked at Hou Qing Lin, Tian Chi, and the others. The battles were going to be difficult…

Hou Qing Lin frowned. Then he turned to the strong cultivators of the Feng Clan and said, "The Jing Clan asked to postpone the battles of three days, they should choose fighters first, right?"

Ye Que and the others gave Hou Qing Lin some pressure. Jian Mang, Tian Chi, and Ruo Xie had already fought. Lin Feng and Hou Qing Lin could win a battle. But what about the three other ones? Jing Shou and Tantai might be able to win a battle too, but it wasn"t sure. Therefore, if they could choose fighters according to the enemies, that would be better.

"Yes, they should," replied a strong cultivator of the Feng Clan. He stood up and said, "Since we"ve been waiting for you, you should choose people first, right?"

Ye Que looked at the strong cultivator of the Feng Clan aloofly, and said disdainfully, "You surprisingly care about who chooses their fighters first."

"They surprisingly dare talk to outstanding cultivators of the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry that way!" agreed a strong cultivator of the Jing Clan, sneering.

"This battle is not necessary. You should have made them surrender, but since our teacher told us to come, blood will flow now," Ye Que said arrogantly.

"This bunch of little boys dares talk empty words," whispered Tantai icily. He came out of one of the Yu Clan"s palaces in the distance.

Yu Lin frowned and looked at Tantai, whispering, "You"re ignorant, like a frog in a well."

Ye Que was extremely well known in the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry, so in Qing Shan City, he was considered even stronger. He was an incredible cultivator. At the same cultivation level, almost n.o.body could compete with him. Even some great emperors couldn"t compete with him. The Jing Clan had surprisingly invited such people over!

"Hopelessly stupid," retorted Tantai icily, glancing at Yu Lin. Yu Lin looked back at him coldly.

Lin Feng tapped Tantai"s shoulder to tell him to calm down. Arguing with Yu Lin was useless. Now that the members of the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry were there, what could they do? Lin Feng only thought of Mu Chen, nothing else.

Hou Qing Lin brought the members of Tiantai to the front and looked at Ye Que and the others calmly. He said indifferently, "Blood will flow? Since it"s that way, if you fight today, you represent the Jing Clan and we can kill you if we are able to?"

"Yes." The members of Tiantai looked aloof and composed. The atmosphere was oppressive at that moment. People finally remembered that these people were talented, too. Three days before, they had astonished the whole town because of their teacher.

However, the five cultivators who had come from the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry were beasts. Yu Lin and Jing Yan looked like insects next to them, especially in front of Ye Que. Yu Lin, Su Mu, and the others all looked to him respectfully.

"Ridiculous! Xu Yu! First battle, you go," said Ye Que.

A young man who was on the left wing of the beast instantly responded, "Alright!"

He jumped forwards, moving quickly and landing instantly on the battle stage. He released Qi towards Hou Qing Lin and the others, the air humming. His cosmic energies had fused together with force. Those energies mainly targeted Hou Qing Lin.

"Who"s coming to die?" asked Xu Yu calmly. His Qi kept humming. His teacher had ordered him to come, now he wanted to kill. He didn"t just want to protect the Jing Clan"s deployment mine, he wanted to take all the others!

"What a powerful Qi!" Apart from Qi, Hou Qing Lin sensed something else, another kind of strength… Dao power. The Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry was very famous in G.o.dly Clouds, they had many geniuses, especially since G.o.dly Clouds was the central part of the continent.

Xu Yu raised his hand and a gigantic black sword appeared. It looked heavy and endless because it was so long. He put it on the ground, there was a rumble as a cloud of dust appeared. The ground trembled. Marks appeared all around the sword as a thick strength surrounded his body. The atmosphere became oppressive.

"Back then, Xu Yu killed an arrogant high-level emperor in one sword strike. His strength is almost unmatched at the same cultivation level," Yu Lin sighed. This battle was going to be tragic for Mu Chen"s disciples.

"Powerful force, I"ll go," said Hou Qing Lin calmly. He slowly walked out. His robe fluttered in the wind. He walked onto the battle stage and stretched out his hand. He grabbed the sword on his back. He was moving slowly and naturally. Both fighters" forces were incredible.

"That Hou Qing Lin is those people"s second fellow disciple. He must be extremely strong, and now he"s going to fight the first battle," a.n.a.lyzed the crowd. A heavy sword vs. a swift sword…

Xu Yu smiled mockingly. The air crackled as he charged towards Hou Qing Lin while brandis.h.i.+ng his gigantic sword. Stars appeared all around the battle stage. Strident sounds pierced through people"s eardrums. At the same time, a powerful, thick, and heavy force bore down on the whole battle stage.

Hou Qing Lin"s force and Qi changed. A strong wind started blowing and the air began to buzz wildly. A vortex appeared around him, filled with reincarnation strength.

Hou Qing Lin also started moving forwards. A hurricane roared furiously around him. Reincarnation strength filled the air and blotted out the sky. The energies weighed millions of jin!

"Reincarnation, he controls reincarnation Dao!" The aura was pressing down, people"s hearts started pounding. How strong! It wasn"t easy to tell who was going to win now…

Xu Yu"s expression slightly changed. However, his sword continued streaking across the sky. Marks kept intertwining on the battle stage. They turned into powerful dazzling deployment lights, making the gigantic sword even more powerful.

"Die!" shouted Xu Yu explosively. The heavy sword hacked towards Hou Qing Lin. However, Hou Qing Lin was crazy when fighting, nothing could distract him. He had to bear the pressure. Reincarnation lights penetrated into his enemy"s G.o.dly awareness and body. Who was going to suffer more?

Xu Yu"s arm descended, his sword moved towards Hou Qing Lin. Hou Qing Lin sensed the pressure, and had the impression his body was going to explode. However, his sword moved too. It absorbed reincarnation lights, and Xu Yu"s body began to distort. He was falling into the wheel of reincarnation!

He"s crazy! His attacks are so swift, but he looks extremely aggressive, thought Lin Feng when he saw that. He was still convinced that Hou Qing Lin was going to win. Hou Qing Lin couldn"t be weaker than his opponent.

The crowd was shaking. Even their souls were trembling. However, the atmosphere on the battle stage had already calmed down. Hou Qing Lin looked crazy as he took a deep breath. He had the impression his body was going to be crushed, it felt like the earth and sky were about to collapse. However, he still looked confident and at ease, as he turned around and walked back to Tiantai"s people.

Everybody was staring at him. He had won!

Regarding what was on the battle stage, only a gigantic and heavy sword was left. Xu Yu had already disappeared. There were still some intertwining marks left on the ground. However, they weren"t enough, and hadn"t protected him!

Ye Que felt humiliated. They had lost the first battle! He had the impression he had been slapped in the face.

Ye Que frowned and looked at Tiantai"s people with murder in his eyes. He could look furious, but it wouldn"t change the result of the battle!

The members of the Jing Clan were astonished. Xu Yu had been killed? He was a genius from the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry and he had been killed because of the Jing Clan?

The members of the Yu Clan were astonished too, especially Yu Lin and Su Mu. Their thoughts were shaking. They felt ridiculous for what they had said just before.

"Oh wow, the cultivators of the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry are so strong!" said Tantai mockingly. Hou Qing Ling had humiliated them, how awesome! Those two morons kept talking about how strong Xu Yu was before the battle…

Su Mu and Yu Lin heard he was making fun of them and frowned, but what could they say? Xu Yu had been killed, it was a fact!

Chapter 2109: Tantai"s Explosive Temper

The four cultivators on the beast"s back looked furious and glared at Tiantai"s people with murder in their eyes. Their Qi began to vibrate, especially Ye Que"s. Many people couldn"t handle his Qi, so they moved further away. Even some young people of the Jing Clan couldn"t stand near him.

"How strong, the people from the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry are furious now!" chatted the crowd. These battles were going to be deadly!

"Hou Qing Lin is those people"s fellow disciple. He won the first battle, but the others aren"t as strong as him. They won"t be able to defeat the extremely strong cultivators of the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry," the crowd nodded to one another. Five battles had to take place. Tiantai"s strongest cultivator had won the first battle, so many people thought the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry would win the remaining battles.

"Second battle, I"ll go," said Jing Shou indifferently on Tiantai"s side.

"No rush," said Hou Qing Lin calmly. Jing Shou was strong, he could win, and Lin Feng was going to win too. Tiantai"s people didn"t even wonder when they"d send Lin Feng, he was definitely going to win so they didn"t rush. Even though Tiantai"s people had won only one battle so far, they considered they had already won two, just like the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry considered they had already won one battle thanks to Ye Que.

Tiantai"s people were wondering who they could send for a third victory, Jing Shou could probably win one, so Hou Qing Lin didn"t want him to rush.

"Mu Bei, they"ll definitely try to kill you, when they release Qi, you leave and surrender. No need to fight to death." said Hou Qing Lin to Mu Bei telepathically. The Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry would naturally win the second battle.

"Alright." Mu Bei nodded and jumped forwards, landing immediately on the battle stage.

"Die!" shouted the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry"s cultivator when he landed on the battle stage, attacking instantly. At that moment, his Qi turned into a beam of light and shot towards Mu Bei. People around the battle stage were shaking.

Mu Bei waved his hands, and stone plates descended from the sky and bombarded the Qi. However, his expression slightly changed and he withdrew quickly.

"You think you can escape?" The strong cultivator of the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry chased him closely. However, many words appeared in the air and exploded one after another, slowing him down. By the time they were done, Mu Bei had already jumped off the battle stage and said, "I give up."

"Argh!" that person shouted explosively. His Qi turned into a dragon and charged Mu Bei. Hou Qing Lin smiled icily, releasing sword Qi which snuffed out the dragon quickly.

"You don"t even dare fight, coward!" said that person, glancing at Mu Bei icily. He returned to the beast"s back. The crowd sighed. As they had thought, Mu Chen"s disciples couldn"t compete with these people. Three days before, they had made the blind sword cultivator fight, as well as a few other extremely strong cultivators. Otherwise, they would have had a chance to fight against these people.

"They"re smart at least, they are trying to avoid losses," Su Mu said calmly from the middle of the Yu Clan. The one who had just fought was also a genius from the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry. Among those five people, apart from Ye Que, he was the next strongest of the group.

"Third battle, it"s your turn," said Hou Qing Lin, not letting anyone distract him.

A strong cultivator jumped forwards. He looked like a sharp weapon, his Qi sharp. He resembled w.a.n.g Jian, whom Lin Feng had killed in the past. He probably practiced weapon cultivation…

"Jing Shou, this battle is yours," Hou Qing Lin said to Jing Shou. Jing Shou nodded.

Back then, he had joined Champion University before Lin Feng and the others, and had already ended up second on the higher ranking list. Only Ji Wuyou was above him. After that, Lin Feng and the others had displayed incredible talent, and Jing Shou had decided to help Lin Feng manage a secret force of Tiantai. At the same time, he had also obtained the Celestial Evolution Holy Scriptures, so he wasn"t any weaker than Hou Qing Lin and the others, and he progressed as quickly as they had.

Being friends with many geniuses was a good environment to progress quickly as well. Geniuses could help one another. If one of them didn"t progress quickly enough, the others could help them out!

When Jing Shou jumped onto the battle stage, the crowd couldn"t see his hands because they were in his sleeves. The members of Tiantai knew why. He had the hands of an a.s.sa.s.sin, because back in the day, he was the First a.s.sa.s.sin from their homeworld.

The strong cultivator of the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry moved, and deployment lights filled the battle stage like a spider"s web, turning into a pattern. At the same time, his body was surrounded by a sharp weapon Qi. It was like he could destroy the sky. His Qi seemed endless, and shot towards Jing Shou.

"What a strong cultivator. The five members of the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry are terrifying. None of them is weak. They"re terrifyingly strong!" the crowd chatted when they sensed that Qi.

"I wonder whether this guy is as strong as Hou Qing Lin, or whether he will surrender and escape," mused some wags. Jing Shou started moving. His body turned into an illusion, and his silhouette became blurry. He was moving swiftly, but it seemed difficult to catch him.

"What a mysterious agility technique. It"s an invisible and intangible illusion. Even the terrifying weapon strength can"t reach him."

"That guy wants to fight, it seems. He"s really strong!" the watchers finally realized. His hands were still in their sleeves.

"Die!" shouted the strong cultivator of the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry loudly. He hopped around, his weapons emitting furious humming noises. Energies pulsed, driving thousands of long spears to impale everything. One mistake and those energies would pierce him through!

At that moment, Jing Shou finally moved his hands. Illusions appeared, all silhouettes of Jing Shou. Were those clones?

"Cut!" spat the strong cultivator of the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry icily. A hand streaked across the sky, and a gigantic blade chopped through a few silhouettes.

However, there were still a great many of them. They didn"t seem to be corporeal, and continued closing in on him.

Ice-cold lights suddenly appeared next to the Ministry cultivator. One of Jing Shou"s silhouettes turned into a real body of Jing Shou. He suddenly raised his left hand and a gloomy dark light appeared, it was a dagger thrusting towards the man"s head.

The Ministry cultivator was angered, his blood boiling. More weapons appeared, trying to hack apart that silhouette. However, danger came from the other side, another illusion turned into a real body. The dark dagger was thrusting at him again!

"How dangerous. How can he hide with his arms?" wondered the audience. Which one was Jing Shou? His attacks weren"t very aggressive. It was like the illusions could vanish anytime…

At that moment, blood splashed as one of the Ministry cultivator"s arms was cut, and he was driven backwards. The silhouettes followed.

"How savage. He looks like a beast!" The crowd frowned. The cultivators on the back of the beast were shocked and looked unsightly. Rumbling sounds spread in the air. Ye Que jumped off the creature and shot towards the battle stage.

"Move away!" shouted Ye Que icily, explosions las.h.i.+ng in front of him. The battle stage started cracking. His friend was already behind him. Jing Shou"s silhouettes all shattered and he was injured, driven away as blood splashed.

Tiantai"s people were shocked.

"How ridiculous. The Jing Clan invited such people to come and fight?"

"We lost this battle," said Ye Que icily. Then, he added sounding indifferent, "No matter what, there are two more battles, the last two ones, come together."

"What an a.s.sole!" Tantai couldn"t handle it anymore, he was losing it, he shouted explosively, "He lost and you dare get involved, the Celestial Remarkable Deployment Ministry is a bunch of morons, how ridiculous!"

Su Mu frowned, he turned to Tantai and said, "Watch your words!"

"You two are stupid a.s.sholes as well. We"re fighting for your clan, the Yu Clan and you"re hiding and putting your tongue in the enemy"s a.s.shole, you"re ridiculous!" said Tantai mockingly.

Yu Lin moved towards him and said icily, "You want to die!"

"I want to die!?" shouted Tantai explosively. He jumped towards Yun Li and released Qi to the skies. He was furious and threw himself at Yu Lin.

At that moment, Yu Lin pulled a long face, as did the other members of the Yu Clan. When they sensed his Dao power and strength, they s.h.i.+vered. He was this strong?

There were two loud crashes of brutal impacts, and Yu Lin was smashed far away as blood sprayed out. He awkwardly came back on his feet and stared at Tantai, his face turned deathly pale.

"You"re a d.a.m.n piece of s.h.i.+t! I"ll crush you, a.s.shole! We"ll see if you continue acting arrogantly in front of me everyday like you"ve been doing!" shouted Tantai. He was furious now and kept swearing at the other man. Yu Lin felt extremely humiliated.
