Chapter 2156: Slapping Again (1/2)

Yang Shengping was indeed affected by the comments. w.a.n.g Han losing power was not good for Grand Sword at all since they have always been close with her branch.

“Realize it’s too late now?” Weijin was quite happy to see the change in Shengping's expression: “Your backing is done for so who will help you now? Just wait, I will not only stomp on you but will also make your sect disappear from this world!”

Weijin didn’t try to hide his excitement at all. He had heard some rumors in the w.a.n.g Clan about a few high elders wanting to dismiss w.a.n.g Han and replacing her with a male disciple, perhaps to make him the next emperor. A better male disciple would be able to fare better against the other three powers’ candidates.

The other experts also heard Weijin. They exchanged glances and quietly debated.

“So that’s Grand Sword’s Ancestor Yang Shengping. I heard that sect is quite close to the w.a.n.g Clan. Hmm, the w.a.n.g is really trying to change its representative?” A big shot from a different power was surprised to hear this news.

Weijin was from the royal court so his information route was faster than others’. Given the current situation, this might indeed be the case because the w.a.n.g was not here right now unlike the other three great powers.

Such blatant threat left Shengping hot and bothered. Of course, he knew that animosity was inevitable after the slapping last time and he certainly didn’t regret it either.

He turned over at Li Qiye, waiting for all and any command. Alas, Li Qiye didn’t care for this guy and continued doing his own thing.

Weijin wanted to threaten the group first because he was confident - these were downtrodden dogs now. Despite their situation, Shengping was only looking at Li Qiye without responding.

His eyes turned cold with a murderous glint. He smirked deviously: “Brat, you won’t be smiling for long. The w.a.n.g is no longer in control so no one will be able to protect you! At that point, you’ll suffer a fate worse than death! It’s not too late to start begging now, maybe I’ll feel merciful and might spare you.”

In his eyes, the w.a.n.g was occupied with internal strife, no time to even worry about themselves. It didn’t matter who Li Qiye was, without the w.a.n.g as the backing, he could toy with Li Qiye till death like a fish on the platter.

Because of this, he wanted to threaten them first so that their incoming days would be one of doom and gloom so that they wouldn’t have a good night rest. When everything settled down later, he would torture and kill them then.

Thus, he was bold enough to spew these threats. This was a way for him to vent and enjoy the happiness of vengeance.

All eyes were on Li Qiye now. They didn’t know how this young man had offended Weijin and the Peng Clan. If he didn’t have a strong backing and still provoked Weijin, that’s indeed suicidal.

“Get on the ground and start kowtowing and I will spare your life.” Li Qiye suddenly uttered without even glancing at the youth.

The air became frozen inside the inn as everyone stared at him in disbelief.

“d.a.m.n, who is this kid? Daring to speak to Young Lord Peng like this.” Someone was startled.

A clan disciple wanted to curry favor and sneered: “Ignorant fool, you’re seeking death!”

“b.a.s.t.a.r.d, I’m gonna make mincemeat out of you!” Weijin only wanted to threaten the group first but Li Qiye had provoked him. He shouted and reached for Li Qiye.

“Bam!” Shengping quickly patted his hand away. He was only a True Hero while Shengping was a True Champion. The disparity in power was too great.

“Seventh Uncle, you take down this Yang guy, the brat is mine!” Peng Weijin decided to go all out while gritting his teeth.

“Very well.” A voice answered. He didn’t come along for there was an entourage from the Peng Clan. Among them was an old sword wielder who began heading towards Yang Shengping.

He was also a True Champion so this was not a development Shengping wanted to see.

“b.a.s.t.a.r.d, kneel now or we’ll break your legs!” The rest of the clan members didn’t need Weijin to say anything before surrounding Li Qiye with a cruel expression.
