Chapter 931 - Causing A Ruckus (1/2)

"Master, who is this big guy? Why is he so annoying?" asked a puzzled Fu Li.

Fu Li might be very muscular and strong, but when compared to Tian Xuanzi, he was much smaller. The Ju Ling Clan was the only race in the world that was born naturally with spirits and their Juling spirits weren't any weak and puny spirits, making them one of the strongest races in this universe. This was, of course, excluding the innate gods.

Due to them inherently born with spirits, everyone from the Ju Ling Clan was considered an innate spirit body.

But that did not come without a side effect; because of this, the Ju Ling Clan fertility was very low, and with the invasion of Six Paths Reincarnation, they struggled hard just to maintain the purity of their race, which required a lot of time and effort, therefore, restricting how much they could achieve.

With a low reproduction rate, a race's power will be greatly limited. Without a large population, there would be few talents born in the race. And even if they managed to occupy a huge territory, they wouldn't have enough people to guard them.

Fortunately, given the Juling Clan's disciples who were all innate spirit bodies, each of them was all very powerful and they were able to keep themselves together.

Zhong Yue laughed and said, "He is Tian Xuanzi of the Juling Clan. Back in the Earth Order Era, a Heavenly Monarch rose from their clan. They are one of the current eight sovereign races."

Then, from the Juling Clan came an old voice that scolded, "Tian Xuanzi, where are your manners! Mister Yi agreed to duel with you because he had no other options and he was obviously holding back. Mister Yi, please forgive this idiot's rudeness."

Zhong Yue looked towards the voice and he saw an old man, who seemed to be the head of the group. He quickly paid his respect to the old man, "Don't worry, elder, no offense taken. Besides, I was indeed defeated by Senior Martial Brother Tian Xuanzi before everyone's eyes."

"Old man, you heard it? I won…." said Tian Xuanzi arrogantly as he looked back.

"You better stop speaking so much nonsense!"

The old man dragged Tian Xuanzi back to him and started raining down fists onto his face, leaving a bloodied bruised Tian Xuanzi's on the ground, "Speak in such foul manner and I will break your legs as well!"

After giving Tian Xuanzi a beating, the old man finally felt that the air stuck in his chest cleared off. And he was not the only one that felt that way; the other Juling Clan's members also felt very comfortable at Tian Xuanzi getting his dues. He never gave any chances to anyone and had the guts to insult everyone. And now, it truly was something to celebrate that he was beaten up by the Ju Ling Clan's elder.

The old man then laughed, "Mister Yi, do you mind if we talk for a moment?"

Zhong Yue nodded and Fu Li immediately maneuvered the carriage towards the Juling Clan's group. Zhong Yue got out of the carriage, and greeted the Juling Clan's elder, who quickly greeted back and they both sat right onto the ground.

"This old man's name is Ling Zheng. Please forgive my rudeness for not being able to meet you back then when Mister Yi and Madam Yi visited Juling Clan for I was in cultivation. Where is Madam Yi today?" said the old man.

Zhong Yue replied, "Still in cultivation inside the carriage."

Li Zheng's eyes blinked and he quickly said softly, "This time, Heavenly Monarch is not up to something good by inviting everyone to his birthday celebration. We Juling Clan had marital relationship with Xian Tian Palace and Mister Yi married the Yinkang Clan's clan master's daughter, perhaps we can form an alliance just in case. Also, words had it that the Yinkang Clan had removed the bloodline seal. Do you think they will remain in the State of Heavenly River? However, even as a monarch race, they still wouldn't be able to get out from there just by themselves."

And this was when Zhong Yue's mind became crystal clear; the Juling Clan was also sitting on the fence and they would fall to the winning side but at the same time, they wanted to place their bet on both sides. Previously, they wanted to please the Heavenly Monarch but on the other side, they had a marriage with Xian Tian Palace and because of that, the Heavenly Monarch was furious at Juling Clan's actions after he declared war against Xian Tian Palace and pressured the ancient sovereign race heavily.

Hence, upon knowing that the Heaven Court could no longer benefit them anymore, the Juling Clan immediately turned towards Xian Tian Palace.

But they couldn't be blamed either as apart from the Zhongyang Clan, none of the monarch races were doing well. They were being pressured and treated as partially hostile by the other races and even the Zhong Yang Clan was not as glorious as they once were. Hence, the Juling Clan's higher-ups were merely trying to fight for the best for their clan.

Zhong Yue smiled, "Elder…."

"Just call me senior martial brother."

Ling Zheng said fervourly, "You are, after all, a reborn innate god so you are my elder instead!"

"Don't worry, senior martial brother."

Zhong Yue smiled, "Imperial Emperor Xian Tian definitely knows that we are only strong when united. Did Tian Xuanzi marry Xian Tian Palace's little princess?"

"No, that marriage was forfeited. Tian Xuanzi's mouth is ridiculous and the little princess refused to marry him. In the end, it is my daughter that was married to the third prince of Xian Tian Palace."

With a weird expression, Zhong Yue thought, Why did Mu Suge never mention this?

Tian Xuanzi, on the other hand, laughed and added, "Yi Feng, you may be a king now but at the same time, you are deprived of happiness. For instance, there is no place for you and your wife in the Heavenly Deity level ranking battles."

Zhong Yue was intrigued; ever since he became the king, he was stationed in Heaven Suppression Fortress and so had been cut off from the opportunity to compete with the strong individuals in the same generation.

While he held a high post and became stronger as the day passed and continually facing off against those beyond his level, he had also inevitably forgotten about those from the same generation.

As a result, his presence was completely different from what a Heavenly Deity possesses but instead, his presence was rather much close to that of a Creator or Imperial Emperor.

But this did not make him too arrogant from taking the same generation competition too lightly. Though the older generations were undoubtedly powerful, they were too limited by their traditions and their unwillingness to accept new things. On the other side, unlike the older generations, the younger generations were more likely to come up with new ideas and develop new paths.

While the younger generations could not compare to elders in terms of strength, they were destined to be the ones to eventually take over this universe!

Hence, there was more to gain than lose if Zhong Yue were to participate in competitions with them.

"And your rank among the Heavenly Deity level gods?" asked Zhong Yue with a smile.

Tian Xuanzi was choked by this question and he turned away as he refused to answer.
