Chapter 647 Uninvited Gues (1/2)

As for coming here today, Ling Jian had already antic.i.p.ated this for a long time. When he had first heard about the Yin Yang Banquet, he had already made up his mind to attend. Now that his cultivation and martial skills had recently broken through, his confidence was through the roof.

How good a chance was this? Literally every single top expert in the two continents would come and line up during this banquet! If he managed to show his influence and strength on this stage, then in the future, who would dare to speak a single word regarding the matters of the Sky Alliance? This sort of intangible pressure was the greatest a.s.set of a martial artist!

This was especially so given that they came with a brazen objective, which was to find the HuangFu and Song Family heads. Yes, they had quite a few important matters to discuss with them. That way, they would have sufficient cause to send out their troops and do things more in line with his methods. There was nothing better than that!

In regards to Ling Jian's plan, Ling One as well as the other brains of the team were rendered speechless. All of them had their intestines twisted in anxiety. The young n.o.ble did mention that when things reached a certain point, they would then look for the two family heads to negotiate and that they were not going to destroy both families this time. However, he did not give a definite timing as to when the 'certain point' was going to be. And neither did he mention that they would have to go to the Shui Family to find them!

We just needed to look for HuangFu YanHan and Song TianQiao, so why do you have to take the bother to go for the Yin Yang Banquet hosted by the Shui Family and HuangFu Family?! That's a g*dd.a.m.ned hornet's nest! You're taking too much of a risk, and it outweighs any potential benefits!

But with Ling Tian not around the base, and furthermore disappearing to the point he was completely unreachable, they couldn't ask for instructions even if they wanted to! Furthermore, if the young n.o.ble was absent, then the next-in-line for command would be Jian'ge! Ling Jian's eyes lit up at this, and he decided that he was going to use the excuse of this being the most optimal scenario during that point in time. So long as he insisted it was the best method, who would dare argue?!

If we were to survey the Ling Family comprehensively as a whole, Ling Tian, Ling Chen, and Li Xue were the only ones that Ling Jian viewed as a taboo. The last one was someone whom he recognized in his heart, yet was unwilling to say it out loud. However, since they were not present, then it was akin to when the cat's away the mice will play! The Sky Alliance's helm thus became a dictators.h.i.+p under Ling Jian!

Therefore, Ling Jian jubilantly pa.s.sed on the decision to proceed with his plan. There was no choice at all, as those who objected were all viciously beaten up. Those that were not convinced were also beaten till they were thoroughly convinced. This is what Ling Jian called convincing with reason. Then he pa.s.sed down this threat: If the young n.o.ble returned and asked, they all had to say that this matter was discussed and arranged by all of them, with all of them agreeing to it. He as the senior tried to dissuade them, but because they were all so adamant, he had no choice but to also reluctantly follow, so as to protect them if danger befell them... If anyone happened to say something else other than the script above, then Ling Jian would thrash them!

Ling One's , as well as Ling Nineteen's duo, had to keep quiet out of fear. The trio of Ling One, Two, and Four were well known for being hard-headed inside the Sky Alliance, but in front of Ling Jian, they were akin to pliable clay. As for Nineteen and Twenty, nothing more needed to be said. They could only whisper to themselves, ”Why did this Jian'ge suddenly change to become such a ferocious beast only after a few days of not seeing him? Just that last command of his, if they were to tell others about it, no one would believe it! And to think he said he was experienced and knowledgeable? If young n.o.ble were to catch wind of this, his head would have a row of swollen b.u.mps!”

As such, Ling Jian was able to gallantly strut into the place, and because all the experts in the Shui Family were gathered in the banquet, there was no one that could spot Ling Jian and group as they walked in. Furthermore, Ling Jian even exchanged a few blows with the number one expert of the Shui Family, Shui WuPo, and in two palm strikes, managed to stand arrogantly at the entrance of the Yin Yang Banquet...

”Great martial skills! May I know your esteemed name?” Shui WuPo's face turned warm as he praised, looking at Ling Jian. This bloke was not some easy fish, to be able to hit back and forth together with him and not be at a disadvantage. His sword draw was unbelievably quick, his moves crafty, and his movements ghostly. It was on a level he had rarely seen in his entire life! This greatly interested this martial fanatic, or else, given his status, how would he be so polite towards someone who did not possess any qualifications?

”This subordinate is only a nameless p.a.w.n belonging to the Sky Alliance. Under the orders from the three leaders, I've come over bearing a verbal message for the family heads of the HuangFu and Shui Families.” Ling Jian stood unafraid and upright, speaking in a deep voice, ”May I know as to whether the two family heads have come to a decision?”

Among the audience, everyone's eyes revealed a trace of anger! This was simply arrogance to the point of not putting anyone in his eyes! Strangely, the exception was the Shui Grand Elder, whom eyes flashed a hint of admiration. A person with ability should have such an imposing manner! This old man gives you a thumbs up!

Both Yu BingYan and Shui QianRou had an odd expression and thought, Isn't that Ling Jian?! The two ladies did not just spend a day or two in the company of Ling Jian, and just by looking at the figure and tone they were able to easily tell that it was him. On the Yu Family's side, Yu ManTian twisted his neck from side to side, snorted as he rolled his eyes while looking up, following which he lowered his head and spat on the ground. He scolded, ”Dammit, this exceeds all logic!” Other than the ladies, he was another one who could tell Ling Jian apart immediately.

Yu ManLou sized up this black-robed masked person in front of him, unknowingly feeling a sense of familiarity! He suddenly recalled that night when the Yu Family had been infiltrated, as well as that peerless martial expert, the pavilion head of the First Pavilion. Be it figure or actions, they all somewhat resembled the pavilion head. It was just that their cultivation realms were too far apart. Even if the previous person had advanced in their cultivation, it did not seem too likely, because the disparity in strength was just too wide...

As for Yu ManTian who was close to Ling Jian, he naturally could tell that this little b.a.s.t.a.r.d was the brat he appreciated the most. This was the reason behind his anger and agitation. What bullsh*t is this? That kid was originally not even a match for me, but look at him now, even this daddy here can't even serve as his opponent! Now long had it been? To improve at such speed, was there still justice in this world?!!

Of course, when Yu ManTian's words fell into the ears of others, it had a different connotation, which was: Even with 600-700 experts here, you still dare to come and cause trouble. Was there any reason left in this world?!

The four from Beyond Heavens exchanged a glance, before surrept.i.tiously smiling at each other before retaking their seats. They obviously recognized the number one expert under Ling Tian. How could they forget his cruel and vomit-inducing methods of killing? However, the four of them would, of course, choose not to reveal anything. Ever since Justice pa.s.sed on the Heaven Splitter to Ling Tian, the Beyond Heavens Sect had already been roped inside Ling Tian's camp. Naturally, the members would not attempt to make things difficult for Ling Tian and company, revealing his cla.s.sified information.

To speak the truth, the entire Beyond Heavens Sect was also feeling a little heartache. That was the Heaven Splitter! The ident.i.ty of the Master of all Under Heavens! To pa.s.s on such a tag to Ling Tian, and for him to actually have an expression as though he had been at a disadvantage, caused a few elders in Beyond Heavens to almost vomit blood when they heard about it...

Another infuriating matter that made everyone want to kill Ling Tian was that instead of using the Heaven Splitter to reap lives, he actually used it to cut stones apart... This was the Heaven Splitter, mind you!!

As such, the Beyond Heavens people had a gut full of anger towards Ling Tian! Of course, Ye QingChen's temper was a little less compared to the rest. This was because he had received plenty of benefits from Ling Tian, and he had dined and feasted to his heart's content countless times at Ling Tian's place, even having takeaways!

Ling Jian's words had barely left his mouth, and even HuangFu YanHan and Song TianQiao did not have the chance to speak before a hawk-nosed elder from the Above Heavens side stood up furiously and lambasted, ”Egoistical brat! Who do you think you are, to come into this place to cause trouble! Are you looking for death?!”

Ling Jian instead laughed mirthlessly, his eyes like two unsheathed sharp swords as they stabbed straight onto the elder's face. A moment later, he sighed before shaking his head and saying, ”Old brat, your standard is too trashy, this daddy here isn't interested.”

The hawk-nosed elder felt like vomiting a mouth of blood and fainting on the spot! He could only point a finger and star at Ling Jian with bloodshot eyes, ”Youyouyou...”

Ling Jian coldly snorted as he stared at HuangFu YanHan and Song TianQiao, drawling, ”My three heads said that they were not very happy with your performance thus far. They will only give you another day to decide whether you want to ally with the Sky Alliance, or to break the ice and disappear! You two had better make your decision on what path to take soon!” His tone was no longer that of negotiation, but rather more of a superior ordering a subordinate. He even ignored the hawk-nosed elder that was off to the side!

Ling Jian was only a single person, yet he held his ground, full of confidence as his eyes swept around the room, not evening putting these 600 experts present in his eyes! In the eyes of bystanders, it was as though Ling Jian had behind him the support of over a thousand troops and soldiers, as well as a monstrous influence backing him!

The elders from the Yu Family let out cold snorts, about to rush forth, but with a signal from Yu ManLou, they immediately snapped out of their fury, sitting back down. The black-robed man had trespa.s.sed into the Shui Family's courtyard this time, and furthermore was only looking for trouble with the Song and HuangFu Families. The more they fought, the better it would be for the Yu Family! Naturally, Yu ManLou would not allow his own people to stand up for the two families.

Shui ManKong's expression darkened, as he coldly spoke, ”You're from the Sky Alliance?!”

Ling Jian's black robes fluttered as though dissolving the aura of Shui ManKong's anger, as he coldly retorted, ”You're the Shui Family Head, Shui ManKong?”

”What guts!”

”Audacious!”

The various members of the Shui Family immediately showed their discontent.
