Chapter 1081 Wang Xuanyang (1/2)
No one was surprised by Wang Xuanyang’s words.
The Wanzu Region had basically been backing the Great Five Alliance in their war against the Tianyuan Region. However, the Wanzu Region had failed to achieve its desired outcome. Zhuan Zhu had returned as a Saint, completely messing up the Wanzu Region’s schemes.
In the end, the Wanzu Region had not only returned empty-handed but had also caused their underlings to sustain grave losses. Take the Tri-Mountain Alliance for example. It had been forced to relocate, losing tremendous resources and face.
These losses also indirectly affected the Wanzu Region.
As such, it could be said to be the Wanzu Region’s loss.
This undoubtedly frustrated the entire Wanzu Region. After all, they had already grown used to a smooth-sailing life over the years, and they had never encountered anything remotely resembling a setback. How could they possibly accept getting their heads bloodied after butting heads with the Tianyuan Region, which they looked down upon?
In turn, this led to a little hostility between the Tianyuan Region and the Wanzu Region. Given Wang Xuanyang’s character, there would naturally be no lack of provocation during their meeting.
Most importantly, Zhou Yuan was sitting at the black round table, and it gave Wang Xuanyang an excellent reason to create trouble. After all, everyone else at the table was at the advanced Heavenly Sun stage, making an intermediate Heavenly Sun expert akin to a wolf that had stumbled into a tiger den.
Zhou Yuan’s expression remained unchanged, clearly unaffected.
Qin Lian, on the other hand, was unable to sit still. Her face turned frosty as she said, “Wang Xuanyang, Zhou Yuan is a grand elder of my Tianyuan Region. If he doesn’t have the qualifications, you wouldn’t even be allowed to enter the door.”
Wang Xuanyang leisurely replied, “Grand elder? Hehe, since he’s a grand elder, shouldn’t he be going to the Law Domain conference? Why has he come here instead to mingle with junior Heavenly Sun practitioners like us?”
A few people chuckled inwardly. In accordance with status, Zhou Yuan did have the right to participate in the Law Domain conference. However, the thought of such a scene was just too comical.
If Zhou Yuan was compared to a wolf among tigers here, he would likely be an ant in the Law Domain conference...
Smiling, Wang Xuanyang stared at Zhou Yuan and said, “It’s your business if your Tianyuan Region likes to play childish games like randomly giving away a grand elder position. Hence, don’t expect other factions like us to acknowledge such things.
Zhou Yuan raised his gaze and smiled at Wang Xuanyang. “Then what should I be bringing up?”
“Your own strength, of course. Otherwise, will you be using your grand elder status to scare off teams from the other heavens in Guyuan Heaven?” Wang Xuanyang smiled superficially.
Zhou Yuan nodded. “I feel that I've just barely made the cut, so there’s no need for you to worry. As for what I’ll do when encountering other teams in Guyuan Heaven, that’s none of your business, is it?
The final few words caused the eyes of several people in the hall to widen a little as they looked towards the faintly smiling Zhou Yuan.
No one had expected this Tianyuan Region grand elder to be so...direct...and that he would give no face to Wang Xuanyang.
However, there seemed to be nothing to fault about his attitude. Although Zhou Yuan was only at the intermediate Heavenly Sun stage, no one could deny his Tianyuan Region grand elder status. He honestly didn’t need to give any face to Wang Xuanyang.
On the Zixiao Region side, Dong Ye was expressionless. She did not have any good feelings towards Zhou Yuan and Wang Xuanyang. She slightly tilted her head backward and said to Su Youwei, “He’s too rude.”
Su Youwei softly chuckled. Her eyes seemed to glitter as she stared at Zhou Yuan and said, “Not really, I feel he’s being very genuine.”
The corners of Dong Ye’s mouth could not help but twitch. How can you call this genuine? You’re even worse than him!
Dong Ye was somewhat irritated. She had originally hoped for Su Youwei to take a proper look at Zhou Yuan, but the girl’s eyes could only see his virtues. She was basically hopeless.
“What’s so good about him…” Dong Ye felt a sense of helplessness. Given Wang Xuanyang’s character, he would not be able to tolerate Zhou Yuan’s rudeness.
Sure enough, it went exactly as Dong Ye predicted. The smile on Wang Xuanyang’s face slowly disappeared, and the black-white fan in his hand suddenly snapped shut.
Swish!
A beam of black and white shot out swifter than thunder as it dashed towards Zhou Yuan. A strange fragrance spread in its wake.
“Yin Yang Poison Miasma?”
Several people recognized the strangely fragrant black-white beam, and their eyes immediately widened in shock. It was one of Wang Xuanyang’s unique techniques: a poison made from his own Yin Yang Genesis Qi and numerous secret ingredients.
Once affected by this poison, one would be overwhelmed by carnal desires and lose all rationality.
The poison was extremely difficult to deal with, as it could penetrate Genesis Qi and directly infect the Spirit. Even experts of the same cultivation level were very cautious of this poison and did not dare to let it touch them.
Wang Xuanyang’s intentions were very evil. He did not hope to poison Zhou Yuan to death but to make him humiliate himself in front of everyone and lose all face. In turn, this would greatly shame the Tianyuan Region.
Wang Xuanyang’s seat was rather near to Zhou Yuan, and the attack was far too swift and sudden. Hence, even Qin Lian, who had been vigilant since the start, was unable to respond in time. She could only watch helplessly as the black and white beam shot towards Zhou Yuan.
