Chapter 771
A white-haired crone covered in wrinkles slowly walked over . Her eyes seemed to s.h.i.+ne so brightly that no one dared to look at them directly . She carried a simple walking cane .
Behind her were dozens of other elders, and behind them was a ma.s.s of Celestial disciples . It seemed that they numbered over twenty more than the Xuantian Dao Sect’s side .
“People from the Remote Heaven Gang!”
The Remote Heaven Gang was an existence that had started out in the Eastern Wasteland . They had existed here for even longer than the Xuantian Dao Sect’s eastern branch .
However, their true foundation was a far cry from the Xuantian Dao Sect . Back when the Xuantian Dao Sect had decided to establish a branch sect here, conflicts had erupted between them and the Remote Heaven Gang .
However, the result of those conflicts was that the Remote Heaven Gang’s core was heavily injured, and they had almost been eradicated . But the Xuantian Dao Sect had had no intention of having their branch sect dominate the Eastern Wasteland, and so they hadn’t exterminated them .
As they had once been the sole ruler of the Eastern Wasteland, once the Xuantian Dao Sect had intruded, the Remote Heaven Gang was naturally irritated . But after that battle, they understood just how powerful the sects from the Central Plains were . Thus, they could only swallow their anger .
Later, the Remote Heaven Gang’s power gradually recovered . But the Xuantian Dao Sect’s branch had also established its roots by then, and they had grown to the overlord level as well .
Both sides minded their own business . However, the Remote Heaven Gang had always been holding back their rage, and so eventually, they began to cause some trouble for the Xuantian Dao Sect .
However, the branch sect no longer needed to bother with them . All their income came from the head sect in the Central Plains, so the Remote Heaven Gang was unable to do anything to them .
The branch sect couldn’t be bothered to deal with the Remote Heaven Gang’s provocations . So in all these years, their relations.h.i.+p was never very harmonious .
The old woman was the newly-appointed leader of the Remote Heaven Gang, Ji Hongling . She was also an Ancestor expert, but she hadn’t wasted her cultivation base or longevity on her looks . That made her combat power even higher .
It was rumored that Ji Hongling was an extremely haughty and ruthless person . In less than three years of office, she had completely devoured all the smaller sects around the Remote Heaven Gang, turning them into their subordinates . These smaller sects could only rely on them for their protection .
But most arrogant of all, Ji Hongling had actually stretched her claws toward those powers that relied on the Xuantian Dao Sect . The two great powers had definitely clashed privately several times .
But those private clashes were things outsiders were unable to learn anything about . It seemed as if neither side had an advantage . Now that Ji Hongling had brought her people over, her provocation was very clear .
The small sect leaders directly pulled their disciples far away . Now that the two enormous existences were clas.h.i.+ng, they had to hide further away to avoid being implicated .
Ouyang Qiuyu also stopped talking with the sect leaders and indifferently looked at the old woman . “It seems the Remote Heaven Gang’s development these past few years has been not bad . Your power has increased quite a bit . But it seems your temper has also grown . ”
Ji Hongling leaned against her cane, and a cold smile appeared on her wizened face . “It’s all thanks to your blessing . Just now, I saw that this place was very lively . It almost seemed like a fight was about to break out . Well, there’s still plenty of time, so why don’t we send out a few of our disciples to exchange pointers?”
Everyone’s hearts shook . This provocation was too clear .
“I am Jiu Qifeng, a rank one Celestial . I wonder which disciple from the Xuantian Dao Sect would like to exchange pointers with me? Of course, if you’re afraid of death, then there’s no need for you to come up . I tend to not know how to hold back, and it wouldn’t be good if I accidentally killed you . ” One of the Remote Heaven Gang’s disciples walked up . His gaze swept across the Xuantian Dao Sect’s disciples .
Light roved around his body, and the skin of his bare arms had strange lines on them . He was clearly an expert amongst experts, and an extremely dense murderous aura came from him . He was clearly someone who had slaughtered his way out of over a hundred battles .
“I’ll kill him right now . ” Gu Yang snorted and was just about to go out . Being looked down upon irritated him .
“None of our people need to do anything . Have you not gotten enough of this kind of senseless game?” Long Chen shook his head .
If you charged forward as soon as someone provoked you, wouldn’t you be an idiot? Did you have a mental disease? To fall for such a plain scheme, Long Chen was practically speechless .
“But…” said Gu Yang .
“No buts . In the future, don’t play this kind of stupid game . Use your head more . Is it worthwhile to fight with idiots?” said Long Chen .
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d, who did you call an idiot?”
Before anyone else could say anything, a thunderous roar came from the opposing disciples . Long Chen’s words had essentially been cursing all of them . Of course, Ji Hongling was also included in his cursing .
“Boss, it looks like you made an error . Since they can understand that you’re cursing them, they must be comparatively smarter idiots,” said Guo Ran with amazement .
“Guo Ran, don’t be rude,” chided Tang Wan-er .
Guo Ran was speechless . What was this? His boss had been rude, but she didn’t say anything . But as soon as he cheered for his boss, she chided him .
