The moment this voice rang out, everyone instantly froze, or rather, was extremely astonished.
Because this voice came from the pavilion.
And who was sitting in the pavilion? The lowest among them was at least at the level of a president!
Actually, Zhang Heng challenging Luocheng was already a bit excessive.
After all, everyone knew that at this moment, Luo Wuji had completely lost his cultivation and had none left. How could you, the dignified head of the top ten geniuses in the cultivation world, claim to challenge him?
This was clearly making things difficult for him and bullying him!
When Luo Wuji was at his peak, why did you not jump out and say you wanted to challenge him?
Taking advantage of someone’s precarious position was already very clear.
Who could have imagined that someone in the pavilion would actually act like this now?
“This is against the rules!” Elder Yang said with a frown, his expression extremely serious.
This was not Elder Yang favouring Luocheng.
It was simply that this truly was against the rules!
First of all, in all previous cultivator assemblies, the younger generation would register and then have their opponents decided by random draw. There had never been any challenges.
Today, under the pressure of the two presidents, it was already considered a violation of the rules and bullying Luo Wuji.
More importantly, in the history of the cultivator assembly, the older generation had never fought the younger generation!
Because the older generation had self-respect, and fighting the younger generation would be a clear act of bullying.
This was also to protect the younger generation, so such a duel between the older and younger generations had never occurred.
But at this moment, the person in the pavilion was going to challenge Luo Wuji. In fact, anyone could see clearly that this was using the cultivator assembly to seek personal revenge.
This was already considered disrupting the cultivator assembly, and as the host of this event, Elder Yang naturally was unwilling to allow it.
“Rules?” The person in the pavilion sneered.
“You tell me, what are the rules?” A cold voice continued to emanate from the pavilion.
“The rules are…”
“Smack!”
A burst of force from a distance slapped directly onto Elder Yang’s face. Elder Yang did not even have time to react before he was slapped flying five or six metres away.
Although Elder Yang was quite old, how could his strength possibly compare to those in the pavilion?
Everyone was also shocked.
They dared to hit even the host of the cultivator assembly?
This was absolutely someone with immense identity and status.
“This is called the rules!”
Subsequently, Qing Deng walked slowly out of the pavilion with his hands behind his back. He stood with his hands clasped behind him, his grey white long hair draped over the back of his head, and beneath his feet was a visibly tangible sword qi.
His expression carried coldness and disdain.
At this moment, he gave off quite an ethereal and transcendent aura!
Riding a sword in the air!
Although this was not flying on a sword, this hovering on a sword in the air, especially with the sword formed from sword qi, was impressive.
This move instantly made everyone’s pupils contract.
With such a method, many presidents in the cultivation world probably could not compare!
After all, this could already be described as a heaven defying method!
“I said I want to give this junior some pointers. Does anyone have any objections?” Qing Deng stepped on the sword formed from sword qi and slowly landed on the square.
How could the people standing around the square dare to have any objections?
The nine presidents in the pavilion also stood up one by one.
Except for Lu Heshan, no one spoke. Only Lu Heshan frowned, and just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by Lu Chuan.
“Acting like this, what is the difference between this and a hooligan?” Lu Heshan looked at Lu Chuan and questioned.
What was Qing Deng’s identity?
A senior and renowned figure in the cultivation world, yet now he was going to personally make a move against someone whose cultivation was completely gone?
What did this count as?
Were these still cultivators who claimed to uphold justice and act on behalf of heaven?
Even though he knew many of them wanted to make things difficult for Luocheng today, Lu Heshan had always assumed they would only send juniors to act.
After all, even though Luocheng could use his special abilities, he ultimately had no cultivation left.
Now that a move was made, it was actually Qing Deng himself?
This was indeed too excessive.
“Dad, do you intend to get slapped in the face as well?” Lu Chuan sighed.
“Unless you completely tear off the mask with them right now, bring out the Celestial Master Mansion of Mount Longhu, and protect Luo Wuji!”
“But do not forget our purpose!” Lu Chuan continued to remind him.
Their purpose was to make Luocheng yield, to come and beg the Lu family proactively, so that they could naturally obtain all of Luocheng’s wealth.
“But doing this is really a bit too excessive, too…”
“Dad!”
“Elder Qing Deng will definitely not kill Luo Wuji directly. He will only humiliate him first, and then we can speak up. Is that acceptable?” Lu Chuan continued to persuade.
“Sigh, alright.” Lu Heshan pondered for a moment, then nodded, and then no one spoke again.
“Does no one have any objections?”
However, these words had just landed.
“This is ruining the reputation of our cultivation world!” Elder Yang roared, struggling to get up from the ground.
“You want to die!” Qing Deng’s eyes, like sharp twin swords, looked at Elder Yang.
Just as Elder Yang was about to open his mouth, Luocheng stepped forward and blocked in front of him.
“Thank you, old sir. I accept this matter,” Luocheng said slowly.
“Child, I do not care what grievances you have, nor do I care if you were previously the number one person in Huaxia!”
“But now your cultivation is completely gone, and a universally respected senior is using the cultivator assembly to seek personal revenge and bully you with his power?”
“Everyone present, everyone upstairs, can you stomach this?”
“Even if you can stomach it, I, Yang Zhenghua, as the host of this cultivator assembly, cannot!”
“Yang Zhenghua, the nine presidents have just discussed and decided that your qualification as the host of this cultivator assembly is cancelled. President Lu Chuan will replace you as the host. Furthermore, you, Yang Zhenghua, are expelled from the Cultivator Association!” A cold voice rang out, which was the voice of Zhang Heng’s father.
“Good, very good. You, from your prestigious and righteous sects, each claiming to uphold justice and fairness, this old man has truly seen it today!”
“The entire Cultivator Association has united to bully a young man, a young man whose cultivation is completely gone!”
“Hmph, can you be any more shameless?” Yang Zhenghua was a straightforward person and cursed directly.
He had always acted with integrity and openness, and he could not stand such sneaky and bullying behaviour the most.
“Yang Zhenghua, do you really want to die?” Lu Chuan stomped on the ground, floated down directly, and landed on the square with a murderous aura in his expression.
“Furthermore, you are no longer qualified to say another word, understand?”
“Bully?” Qing Deng sneered from the side.
“So what if I bully him?”
“I think you will all face retribution sooner or later!” Yang Zhenghua cursed.
Just as Yang Zhenghua was about to continue speaking, Luocheng raised his hand from the side and stopped him.
“Old sir, thank you, but do not worry. Relying on them, they cannot bully me.” Luocheng stood very calmly among the tens of thousands of cultivators.
Even when facing the so called nine presidents and the so called senior renowned figures, Luocheng remained perfectly calm, as if he were standing comfortably in his own garden.
“Hmph, you surnamed Luo, are you not afraid the strong wind will twist your tongue?” Another mocking remark followed.
Subsequently, a group of people walked over.
Leading them was none other than Elder Jin, with Yang Fuyun following behind him!
“I almost forgot. The two of you made a bet in my name and lost two heads to the people of the whole country. Are you prepared to pay up today?”
