DBWG Chapter 156 (2/2)
Liu Yuan had had much experience, and immediately had an inkling.
However, he merely buried this in the back of his mind. This matter was rather difficult to handle, and if they really had feeling towards the other, it was a good thing, but only if Long Chen could return alive.
With Long Chen’s temper, even surviving would be an issue.
At this moment, they reached the Nine Devil Mountain Manor.
“Ahead is the manor. Remember, don’t speak a word about what happened at the grand elder’s entrance. Don’t refute him, especially you, Long Chen…”
Liu Yuan watched Long Chen sternly, “Though they’ve gone too far, they have high statuses and are powerful. After all, they’re at the perfect mastery stage at the Heaven Dan Realm, which is why we can only endure. We can only accept whatever they say, and if you spout nonsense out of dissatisfaction, then dying is probably your just desserts!”
Long Chen nodded at Liu Yuan’s stern warning.
“That old man? It seems like he’s humiliating me. Though Liu Yuan has already emphasised this, anything can happen.”
Pushing aside some trees, a gigantic building appeared in a valley, on a larger scale than the Green Willow Residence by several times.
There were only around 40 or so people coming to partic.i.p.ate in the inner faction selection, and yet, they took such a huge place as a transferring point. It was evident that the Lingwu was rich.
The Nine Devil Mountain was extremely dark. In order not to stand out, its main hue was also black.
Night was gradually approaching, and quite a few lamps had been lighted. In the dark pavilion, red lanterns were like countless ferocious beasts lying in wait in the night, the lanterns as their eyes.
“Enter.”
Based on the situation, all who were supposed to be there had already arrived. Liu Yuan took in deep breaths and, bringing Long Chen and Liu Lan along, headed towards the manor. Not long after, there were quite a few cultivators in black armour surrounding them.
These cultivators were all at the Earth Dan Realm and were powerful. Each and every one had a dense b.l.o.o.d.y aura that indicated their experience.
“At this moment, this is the base of the Lingwu Family from the Yuanling Region at the Nine Devil Mountain. Who are you? Report your names, or you will die!”
Cold voices were sounded from these people’s mouths.
“I am a great elder of the Green Faction’s Green Sun Hall, Liu Yuan. I am here to bring my disciple here to take part in the inner faction selection!”
Liu Yuan spoke clearly, intentionally speaking louder and hoping to attract the attention of those in the manor. As long as they had an audience, things would be easier.
“The inner faction selection? What rubbish! Those partic.i.p.ating in the inner faction selection are brought in by the grand elder. Even if you’re a great elder, so what? All I see is you trying to create trouble. Brothers, take him down!”
These black armoured guards did not see to reason. No matter how Liu Yuan tried to explain, they just wouldn’t listen. In that moment, ten or so Earth Dan Realm cultivators at the initial mastery stage made their moves!
“d.a.m.n it!”
Eyes narrowing, Liu Yuan was truly angered. In this situation, even the most amiable person would be enraged!
Though he was a cultivator merely at the initial mastery stage at the Heaven Dan Realm, there was a large disparity between the Heaven and Earth Dan Realm. Even ten Earth Dan Realm cultivators at the initial mastery stage were not his match!
The reason he had not attacked was because once he did so, things would get complicated. There were people of the inner faction here, and if he did not deal with this matter aptly, he could easily lose his life if anyone took the opportunity to frame him.
Liu Yuan speaking so loudly before finally had an effect.
“Stop!”
A hoa.r.s.e yet powerful voice transmitted over. The few Earth Dan cultivators at the initial mastery stage were about to attack, but found that they were trembling so much and had lost power in their legs as they fell to the ground.
An old man who was almost two metres long in a purple robe appeared at the entrance to the manor. With the black armoured guards taken care of, he took a look at Liu Yuan and spoke loudly, “So it’s Liu Yuan. I can vouch for them. Let them in.”
Upon hearing that, the black armoured guards no longer dared to speak and withdrew quietly, and then disappeared into the forests.
Seeing the tall old man, Liu Yuan was elated as he spoke respectfully, “So it’s the grand elder of the Purple Faction, Senior Gu Batian! I never thought senior would remember me!”
“I have a great memory! Come to think of it, it’s been four or five years since I’ve last seen you, and it’s a surprise that you’re still looking as pitiful as always, for even these young things to bully you.”
The grand elder of the Purple Faction did not hold back while speaking, his voice resonant.
“Senior Gu Batian has seen the worst in me…”
Liu Yuan sweated nervously, and then introduced to Gu Batian.
“Senior, this is my daughter, Liu Lan. She’s partic.i.p.ated in the inner faction selection before, but her skills weren’t enough. Here’s Long Chen, a disciple at my Green Sun Hall. He’s here to partic.i.p.ate in the inner faction selection. The two of you…”
With Liu Yuan’s reminder, Long Chen and Liu Lan exchanged a gaze and immediately bowed.
The grand elder of the Purple Faction might look boorish, but he was very easy-going. If Chu Tianxiong ignored them or even bullied them, having Gu Batian being the judge of the matter was a very good thing.
