Chapter 480 - Right to laugh (1/2)
”HUUUHHHH!? WHY DID THE LAUGHING DIE DOWN!? I THOUGHT ALL OF YOU WERE HAVING FUN, LAUGHING, AND GIGGLING LIKE A BUNCH OF KIDS? WHERE IS THE BRAVADO THAT ASKS MY POSITION? COME ON, STAND UP! I'LL EVEN LET YOU INVOKE YOUR BLOODY DOMAIN!”
Tang Yu taunted the people down below. He was hundreds of meters up, but that didn't matter to beings like him. He saw them cower like after their words, he snorted, ”What a bunch of idiots!
”Absolute White Sword, do you not think you are going too far, threatening us in this manner?” An old woman garbed in gold laced robes stood up. She had a mark of a burning bow on her c.h.e.s.t, the mark of the Peng Clan. She sat on a balcony of some restaurant, enjoying her cup of tea.
This woman's name was Lei, an Ancestor who had lived for millennia. She was an Ancestor of an Ill.u.s.trious Clan and was the Sect Master who created the Blaze Bow Sect at the start of this Era, she was a woman who had long reached the last realm of cultivation and was nearing her own path like Butler Sun.
She looked at the drunk Tang Yu, and could not believe that this man was the First Sword of the Sword Tower. This drunk had a higher position than she did but what's more, was that ”Even invoking your Domain just to prove a point? Is this how the Sword Tower protects its people? Have you no shame to call yourself a member of the Tower? The others may have laughed not knowing that you were there, but do you not think this is too excessive?”
Her words garnered support from the others, ”Ye-yes, that's right! Just because you are of the Sword Tower that doesn't give you the right to Lord over us!”
”Yeah! We also fight the Abyssal Demons like yourself! We send our children to your ranks and even help with the supplies! Absolute White Sword, who do you think you are to threaten us?”
All of a sudden, the White Domain receded, Tang Yu's breathing changed as he became silent.
[Know your place.] a triumphant smile appeared on Lei's mouth. Powerful, that was how she felt. The people were backing her. With so many of them, even the great Absolute White Sword would not be able to do anything against them. Everyone had a broad grin on their faces, they managed to keep Tang Yu back.
Lei stood up from her chair and looked at Tang Yu with gloating eyes, ”Do not even think of using the words of fighting the Abyssal Demons against me, boy, I have been sacrificing my blood long before you were even born.”
Chang Ping who had been listening felt something from within her snap. Her killing intent ran rampant, ”These ungrateful little pieces of shit dare utter sacrifice?”
Unable to contain them, Chang Ping's eyes turned red, ”My disciples have been risking their lives for thousands of years against Sword and Emperor Class Abyssal Demons! Their bodies riddled with injuries without any more space to scar!”
But just before it could explode out and swallow everything, Wang Ling tapped her forehead, forcing back the killing intent, ”You're allowing the killing intent to take over your mind. It would be nice if you were in your prime, but right now, you will be nothing but a laughing stock. I understand your frustrations, but until I can raise your cultivation to at least the peak rank, then stay silent. Let the boy do his own thing, I can see his eyes had been cleared/”
Chang Ping listened to Wang Ling and turned to Tang Yu whose eyes had long returned to their normal color. His annoyance brought him out of his drunken rage.
”Hypocrites.” Tang Yu said with a heavy tone.
”What did you say to me, boy?” Lei shouted back, but, the Absolute White Sword did not answer.
His eyes without the light of amus.e.m.e.nt. He took a step and appeared before the Ancestor Lei, her brows furrowed much like others as they were unable to get a glimpse of Tang Yu's movement.
Tang Yu looked down upon the old woman, he did not smile, nor did he grin. He was no longer drunk, he was sober. He was far from the usually carefree Tang Yu, ”Like I have said, Hypocrite.”
Lei knew that she touched a nerve. Though she had the backing of everyone present, right now, with Tang Yu's shift in tone, it became suffocating. In theory, this First Sword was her junior, but, his aura made her feel suffocated.
Lei could back down now, but that would tarnish both her family and Sect's name, she gritted her teeth, and asked Tang Yu, ”What makes you say something so ludicrous, Absolute White Sword? For you to call me a Hypocrite, you must have evidence to base your claims, correct?”
”Evidence? I have no such thing.”
