Chapter 336 - Fanatic Fights Sword God (1/2)

Editor: Elitecoder

Boom!

The ringing from the boom had yet to stop, forcing the people to cover their ears. The thick dust had Zhuo Fan and Yan Fu obscured within it.

Huangpu Tianyuan’s team of four finally landed while coughing blood. The respective house elders surrounded their house lords and checked their wounds.

But Huangpu Tianyuan flicked his sleeve, shooing the elder before him aside. His eyes peered into the dust and he spat, “Who the hell dares to interfere in the Regent Estate’s affairs?”

Fang Qiubai and Dugu Zhantian looked towards the commotion with a frown.

They knew who it was, but they were baffled why that man was on Zhuo Fan’s side.

The rest of the houses watched intently. They were all dying to know at this point. Who had the nerve to save Zhuo Fan from the clutches of Regent Estate?

Once the dust settled, somewhat, it revealed an imposing physique. An outstandish old man, poised and his back straight, stood in front of Zhuo Fan. His tyrannical aura bent on crushing everyone in his path hung heavy over everyone’s hearts.

He was none other than one of the rare top Radiant Stage experts in Tianyu.

“Mad Dipper, Li Jingtian!”

A Regent Estate elder shouted, “Elder Li, you are a guest Venerable of ours. Where have you been over the past few years? Why are you suddenly siding with that punk? He is the Regent Estate’s greatest enemy!”

Those words set the crowd reeling.

The mystery expert was Regent Estate’s Venerable, the living legend, Mad Dipper Li Jingtian?

He truly lived up to his name, respected and feared both.

Fang Qiubai and Dugu Zhantian were startled as well. Nobody knew of Li Jingtian’s strength before, but the vibes he was sending deterred even the mighty Divine Dragon!

“Elder Li!”

A cry sounded, making the eyes of everyone land on Luo Yunchang. To everyone’s shock, she ran to Li Jingtian’s side and patted his chest, “Thanks to your timely arrival, Zhuo Fan is safe!”

Twitching, everyone looked puzzled, the seven house lords included.

[What’s that Lu miss doing being so friendly with that savage fiend?]

Li Jingtian’s reaction however got a priceless expression out of them all.

“Ha-ha-ha, young miss, relax. Nothing will happen to Steward Zhuo, not when he has such a cunning nature.” Li Jingtian laughed.

The people went slack jawed.

[Say… what? Young miss… Steward Zhuo…]

[Tell me it isn’t true! How, why, when? The Luo clan is just a third rate upstart clan. How in the hell did they manage to entice that old freak Mad Dipper to become their Venerable instead?]

[That makes the Luo clan practically on par with the seven houses!]

[Ha-ha-ha, we must be tripping. That Mad Dipper must’ve been conned into helping them just like Zhuo Fan did with Dugu Zhantian. There’s absolutely no way, not in a million years for him to be on their side.]

[Then again, seeing how the punk’s methods were quite all encompassing, the kid could practically turn everyone into his backers.]

Sighing, the crowd’s opinion of Zhuo Fan jumped again and again.

And that went for everyone there, from no name clans, to the seven house lords. Since having a backer and joining them were totally different things.

A backer was good as a makeshift safeguard, but by joining the clan wholly, the man could both defend and attack in need, turning the clan into a force to be reckoned with.

Zhuo Fan was great, no doubt, but not even he could pull a peak Radiant Stage expert to his side, to join a third rate clan no less. That was simply ludicrous!

Long Yifey and the rest shook their heads. [We must be overthinking things.] If Li Jingtian was their Venerable, then the Luo clan was a match for the seven houses…

A truly cruel and delicious irony how everyone was denying the truth staring them dead in their faces. Depending on the viewpoint, of course.

“Elder Li, what’s the meaning of this? You may be friends with the punk, but clan matters come first. You need to address this with utmost severity. Why are you stopping me from taking revenge for my son?” Huangpu Tianyuan raved.

Squinting, Li Jingtian laughed, “Ha-ha-ha, Estate Lord Huangpu, that’s exactly right. I of course take the clan’s interests into heavy consideration. That is why, as Luo clan’s elder, I cannot allow you to touch one hair of our steward.”

Dong!
