Chapter 784: The Price of Arrogance and Stubbornness

A few hundred meters in the sky, Ji Chimei released her domain which had a radius of several hundreds of meters. Not even the heavy rains and thunderous lightning were able to pose any threat to her and Tang Xiu.

“They seem to have some troubles.”

Ji Chimei kept watching the scene with an indifferent look. Her voice was as cold as a glacier stream. Those below were like existences akin to ants in her eyes; she would not even waste her time here if it was not because her Lordship cared about this matter.

“Well, encountering troubles is pretty much a good thing, you know. There’s no way anyone can be reborn without tempering and sail smoothly forever,” said Tang Xiu lightly. “You were born in the Immortal World, so you should’ve heard the story about the Pure Yang Immortal, yes? He was a fellow who grew up under the shelter of eagles’ wings and never had encountered any hardships, waves, or storms in his life. He had countless resources to support him, resulting in his cultivation reaching Supremacy in the Record of the Immortal. He even reached the stage of the Perfected Golden Immortal. But what happened to him in the end? He had a hard tussle and was directly killed by a new Immortal who just ascended to the Immortal World. He eventually became the laughingstock of countless immortals in the Immortal World.”

“You’re right, Lord.” Ji Chimei nodded in full agreement and said, “Such flowers in the greenhouse will forever be unable to endure the endless years of hardships. They are not comparable to the weeds which withstand the sweep of wind and are battered by the rains. But may this subject ask you about something, Lord? This lass called Viviani, is she one of our people?”

Tang Xiu shook his head with an indifferent expression. He was also clueless as to why Xue Yu’s divination was related to him. He and Viviani were just casually acquainted and they had not formed any friendship at all. Even if she was killed before his eyes, it was not something that related to him, right?

Certainly, this was also the reason why he and Ji Chimei did not immediately appear in front of Viviani after arriving here. He wanted to find out the truth about what exactly Viviani had encountered and how she could be in such a messy and difficult situation.

“By the way, you also know about Brightwing race, don’t you Chimei?” Tang Xiu suddenly turned and asked.

“Yes.” Ji Chimei nodded and answered, “The Brightwing race is one of the myriads of races in the Immortal World. But this race kind of has a pitiful fate, as countless people are always looking at them with greedy eyes ever since their birth. Especially those females who are born, as each of them is an otherworldly beauty. In the eyes of those countless powerhouses in the Immortal World, they are treated as their plaything. As far as I know, this race only has an incomplete cultivation system and it’s also much more difficult than an ordinary immortal cultivation technique. Thus, there has been no strong powerhouses born from the Brightwing race even after tens of thousands of years.”

Tang Xiu nodded and said, “I’ve been having a suspicion that this Viviani has the Brightwing race bloodline. Yet I can’t figure out how someone with the Brightwing bloodline can appear on Earth?”

Ji Chime stared blankly before shock appeared on her face and she said, “Now that I recall, there was a rumor back then, Lord. Even though the Brightwing race has never produced a powerful expert, there was a sage born among them called Paramita Vienna. She once produced a hypothesis that, if their race were to descend to a lower plane and their bloodline was to merge into a mortal’s body, the offspring will have both human and Brightwing bloodlines. If Viviani really has a Brightwing race bloodline, it’s highly likely that she may be an offspring resulting from this hypothesis.”

“But isn’t it way too ridiculous?” Tang Xiu frowned and said, “Even if some immortals want to descend to an ordinary plane, the space law won’t allow them to do so even if the space law of that lower plane is not of a high-grade, no? Hardly anyone will able to come here unless those immortals have broken through to the stage of Perfected Golden Immortal. And yet, those who have broken through the realm of Perfected Golden Immortal are a very formidable existence already. It wouldn’t be difficult for them to shelter a weak race should one wish to do so. ”

“I’m not clear regarding that issue either, my Lord,” Ji Chimei shook her head.

Tang Xiu shook his head and threw his confusion to the back of his mind, concentrating his vision to look below toward the ships instead.

On the liner’s bow.

Wang Rui’s stubbornness didn’t make Viviani feel at ease. It made her worry even more instead. She didn’t want to fight hard against the Savage Mammoth’s people as she knew that it would be like throwing an egg against a rock in a head-on battle. She wished Wang Rui would take his men and leave whereas she would take the speedboat and quickly escape.

This Wang Rui, however, was too arrogant and stubborn at the same time.

The distance between the liner and the cargo ship kept getting shorter. Wang Rui and Viviani could clearly see fully armed men and women on that ship. On the bow of the cargo ship, they even saw a silver-haired old man standing proudly with hands crossed behind his back.

“This will be troublesome.”

The big man who stood beside Wang Rui spoke. His heart thumped wildly after seeing the silver-haired old man and a chill even filled his heart.

“What’s troublesome?” asked Wang Rui, frowning.

“This spells big trouble for us, Boss,” The staunch man bitterly said, “It’s highly likely that old man is a bigshot of the Savage Mammoth. His position should be like a sect’s Law Enforcement Hall Master in ancient times of our country. Rumor has it that this man is very terrifying, though nobody has ever seen him in action. This is because, according to the rumors, those who have seen him in action all died. This old codger should probably be the most horrifying power from the mysterious leader of Savage Mammoth.”

“Hmph… are you trying to raise the enemy’s prestige to undermine our own morale?” Wang Rui snorted coldly and said, “I’ve reached the martial arts grandmaster level and you’re just a step away from a higher stage as well. I believe we can completely annihilate them even if there are only two of us who take action. What’s more, don’t forget that we also have a non-human that came with us this time.”

The burly man subconsciously glanced at another liner’s cabin and felt greatly at ease. He naturally knew the ‘non-human’ individual Wang Rui mentioned. That person was one of the strongest even in Qingcheng Mountain.
