Chapter 636 – A Bunch of Trash (2/2)
The Golden Core cultivators finally responded, feeling fury from the depths of their heart. They began to glow, radiating with alarming auras that rushed into the clouds.
During the battle of Burial Mound Mountain, the Golden Core cultivators who fell in battle all belonged to the Academy of the Hundred Schools. The orthodox forces that belonged to the Great Xia empire had been heavily weakened. If it were not for Gu Yanying’s presence, the sects would have taken advantage of the situation and boldly expanded a long time ago.
As a result, most of the Golden Core cultivators who had been invited to the Soaring Clouds terrace belonged to sects. There were a few Golden Core cultivators that belonged to the academy. However, due to Si Qing’s identity as a prince, they had to remain silent. And, all they could do was stand on the side of the “Marquis of Ruyi” if they truly began fighting. They all looked at Gu Yanying for help.
These Golden Core cultivators from sects were not particularly worried about Si Qing’s identity, but they were rather fearful of Gu Yanying. Gu Yanying had spent many years in the Ruyi commandery. Her power and influence was much greater than the recently arrived Si Qing.
If she stood on Si Qing’s side, then Si Bao definitely would not simply watch on, and the Golden Core cultivators of the academy would be forced to follow her lead. Just like that, the difference between their strength would not be so great anymore, and they might have to accept this slap to the face.
To Si Qing, Gu Yanying’s attitude was extremely important too. For a moment, everyone’s gazes gathered on Gu Yanying.
“A’qing insists on taking it his own way, so how can I stop you!” Gu Yanying strolled over and arrived on the edge of the terrace, deciding to keep her nose out of this. Si Bao obviously followed over.
Although hearing her refer to him as A’qing caused Si Qing frown a little, her decision to not interfere made him ease up slightly. His largest problem had already been dealt with.
“The scenery here is quite nice! You’re all welcome to take a look!”
Gu Yanying turned around and called towards the Golden Core cultivators of the academy. They were all relieved. They bowed towards Si Qing indifferently and politely before arriving by Gu Yanying’s side. Although they were forced to acknowledge Si Qing’s identity, none of them recognised him from the bottom of their heart.
The cultivators from the sects all riled up with vigour. Sure enough, Gu Yanying was not with him. Given that, their enemy were only three people, but they did all come from the Dragon province. They could not be underestimated. Moreover, this prince’s identity was a little troublesome.
“Oi, why are the two of you still there?” Gu Yanying then said, referring to Jia Zhen and E Dan.
“As you wish, commander.” Jia Zhen waved his black feather fan as he smiled, leaving Si Qing behind and walking over. E Dan followed closely behind with his hands by his side, glancing back at the sect cultivators and grinning hideously.
Like that, only Si Qing remained to face these Golden Core cultivators. They all looked at one another with no idea what Si Qing was trying to do.
“Yanying truly be the one who knows me!” Si Qing praised her loudly. Then his face sank. “You’ve spent all these days eating and drinking, watching those boring matches. You must be tired of it already!”
“What are you trying to say? You want us to compete against you one by one? Don’t even think about it!” None of them were idiots. With Si Qing’s cultivation at peak Golden Core and his cultivation method from the imperial clan, probably no one present was his opponent in a one-against-one battle.
“I don’t have the time to take on trash one by one. Come at me together! Your opponent is only me! You fear Northmoon just because he defeated a group of Daemon Commanders. From today onwards, you will fear me too!”
Si Qing’s eyes blazed fervently. Watching duels could never surpass the delight that came from personally taking part.
On the Soaring Clouds terrace, a streak of black light shot into the sky. Over a dozen streaks of light, all varying in colour, followed closely behind.
