Almost every piece of news was negative.
This was clearly being manipulated by someone. At this moment, amidst the sea of clouds in the deep mountains of Mount Luofu, beneath a vigorous old pine, sat a group of old men. Elder Jin was foremost among them, and even Yang Fuyun had come.
“Alas, who would have thought? The times have changed. Someone actually dares to strike at the descendants of the Dragon Protectors, such great merit holders!” someone sighed, his tone full of displeasure. They were traditional cultivators with long inheritances, so they naturally valued this point.
Yang Fuyun had successfully used the matter of the Dragon Protector descendants to climb into relationships with the cultivators of the famous mountains. Added to that, Yang Fuyun deliberately played up his own pitifulness, drawing the sympathy of a great many cultivators.
“Hmph, where does Luo Wuji’s arrogance end?” “He even dares to slap Elder Jin in public!” someone else roared directly. He was a cultivator from Mount Emei. He had also been on the grassland yesterday, and when Luo Chen threatened them, he had been among them. Naturally, he was now speaking for Elder Jin and the others.
“Hmph, this Luo Wuji is truly arrogant to the extreme. Little Jin enjoys high prestige in the cultivation world. Not only is he respected by many junior cultivators, but he is also deeply liked by some seniors of the cultivation world. Yet this Luo Wuji is actually arrogant to such a degree that he dares to strike even Elder Jin?”
The one who spoke was an old man with silver hair and beard, like silver threads. The old man’s skin was ruddy and fair, like warm jade. Moreover, his face did not look like an old man’s at all, but rather like a youth of seventeen or eighteen. This was clearly true rejuvenation, not like that Zhou Qiankun of Qinhuangdao who forcibly reversed his appearance through internal force. This could only be achieved when one’s magical cultivation reached a certain realm and depth.
He had only arrived today. He was the person in charge of the Mount Luofu cultivators, and his age was frighteningly great. It was said he had even had the fortune to meet Celestial Master Yuan Tiangang. Clearly, this was a true senior of the cultivation world.
The moment he spoke now, Yang Fuyun and Elder Jin immediately felt a secret delight in their hearts.
“Senior Cang Songzi, actually at the time Elder Jin also went too far, he…” A young man opened his mouth to speak. Just now this group had indiscriminately spoken only of how Luo Wuji bullied Yang Fuyun and humiliated Elder Jin, but absolutely refused to mention what these two had done. Although this youth was also from Mount Luofu, at this moment he could not quite hold back anymore.
But these words had just landed. “Smack!” A gust of forceful wind directly struck the youth’s face. The youth immediately bled from the corner of his mouth.
“Hmph, so what if Little Jin was somewhat excessive?” Cang Songzi said in a cold voice. “Respecting teachers and honouring the Way, respecting your elders, do you understand this or not?” Cang Songzi berated that young man.
“Little Jin is a senior before a brat like Luo Wuji. Even if he said a few words to him, so what?” “Also, no matter how great a mistake Little Yang has committed, he is still the descendant of a meritorious official. His ancestors once protected Huaxia. Even if he is at fault, is it Luo Wuji’s turn to take action?”
“What kind of thing is Luo Wuji?” “Is he worthy of touching the descendants of the Dragon Protector line?” “Does he dare strike the people of my cultivation world?” Cang Songzi said in a deep voice, frightening that youth so much he did not dare to breathe heavily.
“Little Yang, Little Jin, rest assured. I will settle this matter for you!” “He truly does not know the immensity of heaven and earth. In Huaxia, who dares to call himself number one?” Cang Songzi said displeasedly.
“This old man merely spent a mere few hundred years in the Terror Secret Realm. I did not expect that in this era, such an arrogant person would appear!”
Cang Songzi’s Terror Secret Realm was the present-day Terror Game, merely a different name. These several hundred years he had been searching for fortune within the secret realm. Moreover, in his view, their cultivation world had merely gradually withdrawn because of the great changes in heaven and earth and the thinning of spiritual energy. Although the era was different, as long as they emerged, who would dare not submit beneath their feet?
“Then many thanks, Senior Cang Songzi.” Elder Jin and Yang Fuyun cupped their fists and bowed to Cang Songzi. Then they exchanged glances, each seeing a trace of schadenfreude in the other’s eyes.
Because Cang Songzi’s background was too great. He was from the same era as Celestial Master Yuan Tiangang. What era was Yuan Tiangang from? The Tang Dynasty. One could well imagine just how old this Cang Songzi was.
“Actually, this time Luo Wuji is wildly arrogant. He went to the East alone. I feel he may have difficulty returning,” someone said.
“He went to the East?” Cang Songzi said in surprise. “Yes, and he went with a severely wounded body at that.”
“Heh, he truly has guts. Even I do not dare to go to the East alone, yet he actually dares to go?” Cang Songzi sneered.
“Senior, do you know what he said that day?” “The world is vast. Where can I, Luo Wuji, not go?” “What does Luo Wuji have to fear?”
“Heh, he truly dares to speak such words. Can only say that the juniors of today are so ignorant?” Cang Songzi sneered.
“That traitor Xu Fu may very well still be alive, yet he actually dares to truly go?” Cang Songzi shook his head, his eyes showing ridicule.
The world knew that in those years, the Great Emperor Qin Shi Huang sent Xu Fu with three thousand boys and girls to Penglai to seek immortal pills, but Xu Fu went to the East instead. But the truth was that in those years, the First Emperor wanted to resist the Terror Secret Realm and break free from its control. He sent Xu Fu to Penglai to find a seed. It was not at all as the world rumoured, seeking immortal pills for eternal life, but rather for a peerless divine seed. But Xu Fu betrayed the First Emperor, causing this emperor through the ages to ultimately fail.
But that Xu Fu had never been confirmed dead all these years. So even Cang Songzi did not dare go to the East. Because Xu Fu was one of the most powerful cultivators of the Qin Dynasty. One could say, the waters of the East truly ran too deep. That Luo Wuji, a mere brat, going there, was he not just going to deliver his head?
As soon as Cang Songzi’s words landed, someone came to report. “The latest news. The moment Luo Wuji got off the plane, he was surrounded by Eastern experts.”
“Hahaha, truly embarrassing. This time I fear he will completely lose all face for our Huaxia.” Yang Fuyun sneered. “The internet is also waiting for the latest news at this moment,” that messenger said.
Those negative messages on the internet were naturally spread by them. At this moment they had already sparked a war of words.
“So what if my husband went to the East?” “My husband is not even afraid of the Wolf King, so why would he fear those people from the East?”
But very quickly, the news from that messenger just now was posted online. The moment Luo Wuji landed in the East, he was surrounded by a large number of experts. And very quickly, the latest news came again. “The Tokugawa family people have gone.” Immediately, heated discussion erupted across the internet.
“Alas, this Luo Wuji is still too young, too arrogant, too wild.” Someone posted. “Yes, you act wildly in Huaxia because some experts cannot be bothered with you, Luo Wuji, and no one will come to encircle and suppress you.” “But you go to the East. Will they still be foolish enough to fight you one on one?”
