Chapter 170 - Staying With The Junior Martial Sister (1/2)
The white-robed priest took a deep breath and he suppressed his thoughts of killing Zhong Yue. Then, when he tried to say something, a Xiao Mang Celestial Race Qi Practitioner shouted, "Human, don't be so arrogant for Senior Martial Brother Xiao Chuwen is not here! If he were here, he could have squashed you with one finger!"
"That's right! He is the strongest Practitioner in the level of Rebirth among us and the disciple of the Elder Priest and one of the candidates for the upcoming battle! It would only require little effort on his part to kill you!"
Zhong Yue stopped walking and he said happily, "Good! Quickly get him here! Take him here as fast as possible so I can kill him faster and get my rest."
The countless Xiao Mang Celestial Race's Qi Practitioners on the scene got angered again and they all stood up and rushed to find Xiao Chuwen. The white-robed priest tensed up and he quickly shouted at them, "Stop your actions at once! Xiao Chuwen is no match for him! Asking Xiao Chuwen to fight with Zhong Yue would only be asking him to die!"
The Xiao Mang Celestial Race's Qi Practitioners were stunned and they stopped at once.
Xiao Chuwen was picked as the candidate for the Rebirth level battle against Swords Gate and he was the strongest Rebirth level Qi Practitioner among them. But now, they were now hearing the white-robed priest say that Xiao Chuwen was no match for Zhong Yue!
They wanted to argue but couldn't as the white-robed priest was an elder in the temple and his words would not be wrong!
The remarks of the white-robed priest hurt them deeply.
"What are you waiting for? Go and get Xiao Chuwen quickly!"
Lei Teng urged them again, "Quick as we are rushing for a rest after killing him."
The Xiao Mang Celestial Race's Qi Practitioners stood there blank, not knowing what to do.
The white-robed priest frowned and he tried his best to stop himself from killing Zhong Yue. He regretted trying to mock the human Qi Practitioners and he regretted even more that he said Xiao Chuwen was no match for Zhong Yue in front of his people.
This remark had deeply affected the confidence of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race!
But Zhong Yue's consecutive instant kills on his two opponents had also destroyed his confidence as he could not save his people in time, twice in a row at that. Before he could do anything, Xiao Zhen and Xiao Tian were already killed by Zhong Yue!
In truth, he was not the only one that experienced this. Back then the battle between Zhong Yue and 'Shui Qingyan' during the Lawless Battles, the Qi Practitioners in Swords Gate was also given a major headache. Everything had transpired so rapidly that even the Shen dragon failed to stop them in time as well.
During that time, their battle was so intense and their combat denied anyone any chances of interfering. Their movements were so quick that not even those stronger than him were able to stop them in time, not to mention that the Zhong Yue now was far different to the one from back then.
The white-robed priest humphed and he walked away from the square as he said, "Don't be so arrogant, let's go."
The Qi Practitioners from Swords Gate immediately followed behind him and they felt much more relaxed and the tension they felt before eased considerably.
Zhong Yue squinted and he thought, Xiao Chuwen and Xiao Chuqing both have 'Chu' in their names. What is their relationship?"
"I see a new rising star from the Swords Gate."
On the highest level of the Xiao Mang celestial temple, the Shan Shen priest laughed and said, "Feng the Sword God is indeed very lucky, being able to recruit the five innate bodies and such a bright man during the twilight of his life. Shouzhu, you humans have the sign of prosperity.
Feng Shouzhu put up a happy face and he said humbly, "This Zhong Shan Clan's little one is very naughty. I've been telling him not to cause a ruckus on the way here but there he is, causing so much trouble. Thank god this kid is humble as he did not even use thirty percent of his full strength."
The eyes of the few priests twitched as they heard what Feng Shouzhu said. If it was not simply an exaggeration, then this fact would be very terrifying.
But judging by the expression of Feng Shouzhu who looked like a proud parent that praised his own kid, they felt that that statement was indeed just an exaggeration.
Feng Shouzhu was a very famous man who had traveled everywhere across the various wilderness. Therefore, the few priests knew that he is a very reticent old man but their jaws still dropped onto the ground at the sight of him seemingly making a joke.
In his heart, Feng Shouzhu was incredibly happy and he thought, Splendid job! Zhong Yue was never the candidate for the Rebirth level battle as he aimed for the Awakening level battle. After beating up the Rebirth level QI Practitioners of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race, they will think that they would not be able to win in the Rebirth level battle. With that, they will pay less attention to the Rebirth level battle, which would greatly increase Qiu Jin'er's chances! If Zhong Yue then manages to win in the Awakening division, then the Swords Gate would win it all! But I still have to help him to reverse open a secret realm first and achieve the Dao Yi Wheel!
As he was about to excuse himself, a cloud could be seen floating towards them. The cloud was fiery red and the expression of the Shen Ya priest changed slightly and he said happily, "The elder priest of my race has arrived."
From the Xiao Mang celestial temple, the many white-robed priests swarmed out together with the elder priest to welcome the new guest. Without any options, Feng Shouzhu also followed them to welcome the Shen Ya Celestial Race's elder priest.
The position of the elder priests in the celestial races was just like the headmaster in the Swords Gate. They all responded to Shui Zian's invitation to help the Swords Gate to be the judge for the upcoming battle. Thus, Feng Shouzhu had to welcome them no matter what happened!
Half a day had passed after a long hour of busy greetings with the new guest and shortly after that, the Gui Shen Celestial Race's elder priest had arrived as well. Then, another new round of busy greetings occurred again. As soon as they were done with the second guest, the elder priest of the Shan Shen celestial race arrived! Feng Shouzhu was tensed up and eager to leave but he had no choice.
He then thought, If only Shui Zian were here ... he would be able to settle everything smoothly on behalf of Swords Gate.
