"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 pass 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 shining 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 bestial 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 shiver.
"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!
Nobody 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 Godly Clouds, it probably meant that that person was qualified to participate 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 participate 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!
