Chapter 80: The Shocking Min Jiangtao
The man before him was a super powerful master, so revered that even he was always careful when speaking. The other, however, was bellowing commands and demanding someone to roll out...
Truly audacious.
"I know you're in there. I'll count to three, and if you don't come out, I won't listen to any explanations, and you will have no need to give one, three..."
Standing on the back of a Primordial Beast, Min Jiangtao had his hands clasped behind him, his eyes filled with cold indifference and pride.
Just a disciple cast out by his teacher many years ago, indifferent even to his brother being killed, still here chatting with others. Without showing you a bit of color, you might already have forgotten the teacher's authority and the rules of the Mo Blade Sect.
Unexpectedly, this stranger who suddenly appeared was shouting loudly, leaving Zhang Xuan quite puzzled.
Who are you?
So arrogant in your arrival.
But, since the person could shout like that, he must have a significant connection with Ling Bu Yang. Assuming this identity couldn't be ignored; he awkwardly turned to Ouyang Hai standing before him, "I'm really sorry, another guest has arrived..."
"...one! You have no chance to explain!"
Before Zhang Xuan could finish explaining, Min Jiangtao had already finished counting to three. He raised his eyebrows and a Mo Blade appeared in his palm, heading straight for the living room with a slash.
Wielding the Mo Blade with similar skill, this guy's strength was evidently stronger than Mo Qing's. The glint of the saber was like a sea, surging forward. Before it even struck, the bricks and tiles in the courtyard emitted a 'squeak', as if they couldn't bear the saber qi and were about to be completely split apart.
Zhang Xuan frowned.
Clearly, this guy's understanding of the Mo Blade was a bit better than his. Before breaking through, he needed to use the Pathos of Heaven sword art to win, but now, using all his strength, he should be able to stop him.
Thinking this, he flipped his wrist about to draw out the Cold Nether Sword to strike him down, when he saw Ouyang Hai beside him, already unable to restrain himself.
Who was he?
An Elder of the Wanxiang Sect headquarters, his cultivation was among the pinnacle of this era. Such a figure demanded respect, even from a disciple of the Mo Blade Sect or the Qingtian Emperor of the Zhou Yi Dynasty, let alone daring to take any action was simply suicidal.
"Hmph!"
A light snort, soft yet like thunder, the dull sound waves shot straight to the sky.
Sitting unmoved, Ouyang Hai performed a grab in mid-air, and the resplendent saber qi vanished in a blink, and the next moment, this far-traveled direct disciple of the Mo Blade Sect fell out of the sky and collapsed on his knees before everyone.
Not just him; the Primordial Beast beneath him had its mouth sealed, and its wings twisted like twisted dough, its huge hooves bent, humiliatingly kneeling in the hall, drawing curious circlings from Dao Li.
He had used all his strength, but before this opponent, he was merely an easy wipeout!
Sun Qiang widened his eyes.
Seeing how respectful the other was before, he had thought his cultivation was weak. As it turned out, he was this strong...
Lucky for him, he had maintained a good attitude, or if the other had acted, he might not have lasted even half a move.
"The young master is really impressive, scaring such a powerful figure into willingly handing over artifacts..."
Remembering his young master's actions just now, Sun Qiang's eyes filled with admiration.
He had always wanted to show off, but compared to this young master, he still fell far short.
Unaware of his wild thoughts, Zhang Xuan looked at the kneeling Min Jiangtao, with a book appearing in his mind.
"Min Jiangtao, the second disciple of Elder Bai Ye, 2-dan pinnacle of the Galaxy Realm, comprehending the Second Realm Mo Blade Destiny..."
When this guy had used the Mo Blade earlier, the Library of Heaven's Path had been activated, and the corresponding book had appeared, allowing him to quickly confirm his identity.
Reading on until he saw the words "Flaw: Unable to handle..." he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that the disciples of the Mo Blade Sect all had this issue.
He wondered whether it was due to the influence of the fragments of the heavens or if only those with such unique constitutions could stand out and succeed in their cultivation.
Seeing him lost in thought and not speaking, Ouyang Hai, fearful of acting out of turn and offending the major figure before him, his face tense with nerves, said, "Vice Hall Master Ling, it was really because this guy was ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth that I acted. It was presumptuous of me..."
Could it be that he thinks I'm meddling too much, perhaps getting a bit angry?
That would truly be awkward.
"Oh, no problem!"
Zhang Xuan waved his hand, not dwelling on the issue, and continued, "About what I was saying earlier... I wonder how the Wanxiang Sect plans to nurture them after taking them away? What kind of fragments of the heavens will you offer?"
"Such super geniuses will naturally have the opportunity to access the most powerful fragments of the heavens in the Wanxiang Sect. Rest assured, we will certainly train them as successors, not otherwise," Ouyang Hai quickly assured.
"That's good to hear..." Zhang Xuan sighed in relief.
The other party was able to come so far in person and offered so many benefits, clearly showing their intentions; it was indeed a great opportunity for Zhao Ya and the others.
"Good, Zhao Ya, Wang Ying, Zheng Yang, follow Elder Ouyang, practice diligently, and strive to achieve success in your cultivation soon!"
Zhang Xuan waved his hands.
"Yes!"
Wanting to say something, Zhao Ya and the others ultimately did not speak.
Given the current circumstances, they were well aware that they could not appear too close to their teacher, otherwise, having such talents under the same tutelage would inevitably bring great disaster.
Yet, they felt somewhat reluctant to leave just like that.
"With strength, you can resolve troubles for your teacher..." Knowing their feelings, Zhang Xuan telepathically communicated with them.
Zhao Ya and the others refrained from speaking further.
Yes, their teacher was constantly facing crises; if they only thought about personal attachments and followed behind, they would not only be unable to help but would also bring trouble. Rather than that, it was better to turn around and leave to practice diligently.
"Excellent!"
Seeing that the individuals he wanted to take with him all agreed without any hindrance, Ouyang Hai's face was full of excitement, "Since that is the case, I will not stay here any longer, farewell!"
After speaking, he stood up and looked at the kneeling Min Jiangtao: "Vice Hall Master Ling, this guy who came to challenge, do you need my help to kill him?"
"No need…" Zhang Xuan hurriedly waved his hand.
This guy's arrival had been within his expectations; there were still some roles he needed him to play, so it would have been a pity to kill him outright.
"Alright, let's go!"
Having done what needed to be done, Ouyang Hai did not stay any longer.
How strong exactly were Vice Hall Master Ling and Sun Qiang in front of him? Even he could not see through their true strength. Staying any longer only increased the risk of regret, better to take the people away first.
As long as he left, returned to the headquarters, even if he wanted to regret it, it would be too late.
Ouyang Hai grasped through the air, and a special force enveloped Zhao Ya and the other two. He took a big step forward, and the four of them instantly entered a spatial rift, disappearing from the spot in an instant, leaving no trace behind.
"This..."
The kneeling Min Jiangtao witnessed this scene, and his scalp tingled.
The opponent had restrained his strongest attack with a casual gesture and knocked it down; he knew the strength must be formidable, but he had never dreamed it could be this powerful!
Carrying people through torn space… Such cultivation, in the entire mainland, must rank among the forefront, right?
Since when did Ling Buyang have a connection with such a powerful figure, and it seemed that this figure was quite afraid of him?
In an instant, his previous arrogance turned into fear.
Just as he was filled with nervousness, the nearby Ling Buyang approached with a smile, "Brother Min, what brings you here? Elder Ouyang didn't know you were joking with me just now, that's why he unintentionally struck you down... come, get up!"
With Zhang Xuan helping him, Min Jiangtao struggled to stand up, finally breathing a sigh of relief, and looked over nervously: "Who is this Elder Ouyang you just mentioned? Why does he possess such immense strength?"
Zhang Xuan did not explain but instead looked towards Yue Longxiao: "Master Yue, could you please introduce him to my senior brother?"
His words might not be believed by the other party, better to let this person speak for more impact; of course, the most crucial reason was that he truly did not know the exact identity and power of the other party.
"I am Yue Longxiao, the leader of the Wanxiang Sect from Han Yuan City. The Elder Ouyang just now is Elder Ouyang Hai, an elder from our Wanxiang Sect's headquarters!"
Yue Longxiao introduced.
"Head, headquarters?"
Min Jiangtao was completely shaken, no longer as composed as he had been before arriving.
The Wanxiang Sect, one of the top forces in the Source World, what kind of strength could a headquarters elder possess? Even a 9-dan master from the Galaxy Realm might not be worth a strike in front of him!
No wonder his all-out saber strike was insignificant in front of the opponent, and no wonder the latter could carry people and traverse across space.
Such a powerful figure, let alone speaking, even getting a chance to see them was nearly impossible usually, and just now, he was cautiously speaking to this person called Ling Buyang...
In an instant, Min Jiangtao looked again at the "Ling Buyang" in front of him, his eyes full of solemnity and fear.
That's not right, this couldn't possibly be Ling Buyang!
What kind of person he was, as a senior brother who had been with him for many years, he knew very well. How could he possibly have a chance to meet such a figure and still dare to speak as equals?
There must be something wrong.
