Chapter 179: Summoned by the Sect Master!

"You... you..."

Zhao Jing, paralyzed in the pile of gravel, felt his body shake violently.

His eyes, which had already been blurred in consciousness, suddenly widened, strands of ferocious bloodshot appearing in the eye sockets, staring fixedly at the aged and calm face above.

The breathing sound from his throat became more and more hurried.

You are even easier to fight than Zhang Kui...

This sentence of Jiang Ye's could be called killing the heart.

Like a poisoned dagger, it accurately stabbed into the deepest part of his chest, stirring fiercely in his heart.

What dignity of a Liu Fengzhu.

At this moment, it was crushed to pieces by these seven light words.

He struggled desperately, wanting to prop up his body, his fingers clawing at the gravel on the ground, blood mixed with mud covering his hands.

But the injuries in his body had already reached the limit.

At this moment, let alone getting up, even lifting a finger was exhausting all his strength.

And Jiang Ye's sentence became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Zhao Jing only felt a fishy sweetness rush straight to his throat, and his vision suddenly went black.

On that swollen and deformed face, a ferocious expression of intertwined unwillingness and humiliation was frozen, and his head tilted to the side; he was actually angered into a faint.

"Oh?!"

Jiang Ye's pupils froze slightly.

Is he this unable to be tossed around.

He wouldn't be dead, right.

The next instant.

"Elder Jiang! Show mercy!"

Accompanied by a soft, low shout, three figures arrived at Jiang Ye's side like wind and electricity.

It was none other than the three Peak Masters.

And the person who spoke was Profound Water Liu Fengzhu Liu Qingyu.

In fact, they should have acted to stop it as early as when Jiang Ye flashed behind Zhao Jing.

But at that instant, the three of them were actually stunned in place at the same time; it wasn't because they couldn't react in time, but because they were too shocked.

An elder who had just broken through to the Divine Qi Realm not long ago actually beat Zhao Jing, who had been famous for many years, until he had no power to fight back in a head-on collision.

This kind of scene had completely exceeded their cognition.

By the time they came to their senses, Zhao Jing was already paralyzed at the edge of the martial arts arena like a dead dog whose spine had been pulled out, the red and white matter on his head still seeping out.

"Elder Jiang, when sparring with fellow disciples, do not use lethal force."

Liu Qingyu stared tightly at Jiang Ye with a pair of star-like eyes, the shock in the depths of her eyes almost overflowing.

"Yes, yes, yes, Elder Jiang, we are all fellow disciples, let's work together, work together!"

Sun Lin echoed repeatedly on the side, but his old eyes never stopped measuring Jiang Ye up and down.

He had lived for nearly two sixty-year cycles and had seen countless geniuses.

However, an old genius like Jiang Ye...

He was truly seeing one for the first time.

He stroked his long beard repeatedly, unable to help shaking his head and sighing: "Elder Jiang has truly opened this old man's eyes today, truly opened my eyes!"

Lu Xiao did not say a word, only standing half a step behind Liu Qingyu with a gloomy face.

He stared at Jiang Ye's calm old face, the horror of disbelief churning in the depths of his eyes, and even more, a kind of wariness that could not be melted.

From the back mountain of Jin Chen Peak to the martial arts arena today, every time this old thing appeared, he was refreshing his cognition of his strength.

When he was in the Embracing the Pill Realm, he dared to burn Jin Mu's arm in front of him; now that he had stepped into the Divine Qi Realm, even Zhao Jing was not his opponent.

For the first time, he felt a hidden worry about a person.

The existence of this person was afraid it would break the delicate balance that had been maintained between the peaks of the Profound Heaven Sect for many years.

Not to mention that he had bad blood with this person.

Facing the gazes of the three Peak Masters with different expressions, Jiang Ye only slowly dissipated the remaining red-gold Divine Qi on his fist, stood with his hands behind his back, and smiled faintly:

"You two are overthinking it; Jiang has always valued harmony, how could I use lethal force."

Hearing this, Liu Qingyu couldn't help but roll her eyes lightly.

Valuing harmony?

Stop talking nonsense...

If she hadn't personally seen the scene of Jiang Ye ambushing Zhao Jing before.

She would have almost believed it.

Sun Lin nodded repeatedly, looking as if he agreed deeply: "Valuing harmony is good, valuing harmony is the way of the world; Elder Jiang being able to have this breadth of mind is truly the blessing of Tianyangfeng, and also the blessing of our Profound Heaven Sect!"

Liu Qingyu looked at Zhao Jing, who was in a miserable state on the ground, coughed lightly and said: "Old Sun, stop talking about the way of the world for now, quickly check on Liu Fengzhu Zhao. His injuries... I'm afraid..."

Sun Lin immediately squatted down, his withered old palm covering Zhao Jing's chest, the emerald-green Green Wood Divine Qi in his palm turning into strands of fine lines, probing into his body along the meridians.

After a moment, he said with a slightly heavy expression: "Liu Fengzhu Zhao's injuries are not light; I'm afraid he will need to recuperate for a good while."

Saying this, the look in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Ye added a hint of seriousness.

This Elder Jiang was truly unfathomable.

And at this time, outside the martial arts arena, it had fallen into a deathly silence.

Including those several teaching deacons, everyone widened their eyes, staring blankly at the thin and upright figure in the center of the martial arts arena.

What had they seen...

That Elder Jiang from Tianyangfeng not only stepped into the Divine Qi Realm but also defeated Earth Peak Liu Fengzhu Zhao Jing with a crushing momentum.

One must know, for these outer sect disciples, the inner sect Peak Masters were simply existences like high mountains that one could only look up to.

But just now, this mountain was pushed flat by Tianyangfeng's Elder Jiang in front of everyone.

This was likely the most unbelievable scene in the Profound Heaven Sect in the last ten years, without one.

After being silent for a good while, someone finally let out an exclamation that had been suppressed for a long time.

"My god..."

"This Elder Jiang from Tianyangfeng is too god-like..."

"He actually really defeated Earth Peak's Liu Fengzhu..."

"Doesn't that mean the inner sect Tianyangfeng will be invincible from now on!!!"

In the crowd.

Xu Qinghuan stared at the aged yet upright figure in the center of the martial arts arena with a look of near-trance.

Her moist red lips trembled uncontrollably.

Her heart was beating even more violently.

One beat harder than the next, almost jumping out of her throat.

This old thing...

How is he so powerful!

So powerful ah ah ah...

If it weren't for the fact that there were so many people around.

She would definitely have jumped up because she couldn't control the excitement in her heart.

Her mind was even uncontrollably flashing some scenes...

Her breathing suddenly became hurried.

Her breath carried a slight tremor as it entered and exited her nostrils, and her fair, pretty face was like someone had brushed a layer of rouge on it.

It burned all the way from her cheeks to her ear roots, and even that slender, fair neck was flushed with a faint pink.

Those enchanting beautiful eyes were filled with a layer of brimming moisture at some point, rippling in the sunlight, as if they would overflow from her eye sockets at any time.

When she felt she was about to lose control, she bit her moist lower lip fiercely, her pearly teeth cutting into the soft lip flesh, a metallic, bloody taste exploding on the tip of her tongue, the stinging pain like a basin of ice water poured over her head.

Allowing those blurred beautiful eyes to barely regain a trace of clarity.

However, only for a moment.

Those thoughts that had been suppressed grew again like wild grass meeting the spring breeze, spreading in her mind with even crazier momentum.

"Ah ah ah ah... this old thing is about to drive me crazy..."

She bit her lip, staring burning at the thin and upright figure in the center of the martial arts arena, a silent scream in her heart:

"What about your temper... aren't you hot-tempered..."

In the crowd not far away, a pretty-faced, flat-chested girl was standing on tiptoe, desperately looking into the martial arts arena, an irrepressible exclamation coming from her mouth.

It was none other than Wang Siyi.

"Elder Jiang is too powerful..."

She covered her flat chest with both hands, her thin chest heaving violently, her round eyes widened, repeating in her mouth:

"Must share this news with Senior Sister Yiyi immediately!"

She knew that Liu Yiyi was abnormally concerned about this Elder Jiang.

It was the kind of concern that she didn't say on her lips, but couldn't hide in her eyes.

At the same time, above the canopy of the ancient tree not far away.

The old man stood with his hands behind his back at the top of the thin branch, a rare look of undisguised amazement appearing on that refined and scholarly face.

He looked at the thin figure below, stroking his long beard: "As expected of the talent Elder Zhong spoke of, truly unexpected."

Zhou Yufeng looked at the messy martial arts arena below with horror, unable to recover for a long time.

After a good while, he suppressed the shock in his heart and said in a deep voice:

"This Elder Jiang being able to cultivate the 'Great Sun Heavenly Flame Nourishing Qi Method' is already unbelievable."

"The speed of breaking through to the Divine Qi Realm is even unheard of."

"And the fire seal martial art he just displayed is exquisitely unusual, definitely not a martial art recorded by our sect..."

He paused, seemingly thinking of something, the pupils in his eyes shrinking slightly:

"Could it be... taught by Elder Zhong..."

The old man smiled faintly, not answering, only shaking his head slightly.

Zhou Yufeng immediately understood and lowered his head to respond: "It is Yufeng who spoke too much."

Matters concerning existences like Elder Zhong truly should not be asked about too much.

The old man did not linger on this topic anymore, withdrawing his gaze, and said faintly:

"No matter what, an acting Liu Fengzhu is also a Liu Fengzhu."

"Go invite Elder Jiang over, I want to see him."

Once his voice fell.

The thin branch as thick as a thumb under his feet shook slightly, and his whole person had already drifted away from the canopy like a light leaf, leaving only a faint breeze in the air.

"Yes, Master."

Zhou Yufeng bowed slightly toward the void with a respectful face.

Center of the martial arts arena.

"I have temporarily stabilized Liu Fengzhu Zhao's injuries; next, he will have to rely on his own recuperation."

Sun Lin slowly withdrew his palm that was glowing with emerald-green light from Zhao Jing's chest, letting out a long breath.

Liu Qingyu nodded slightly: "Call two disciples to send him back to Earth Peak."

Saying this, both she and Sun Lin revealed a hint of complex emotion on their faces.

Who would have thought that Zhao Jing, who had walked so neatly and spiritedly in the Affairs Hall before...

Would be so miserable at this moment.

Actually needing to be carried back to Earth Peak.

After arranging everything properly, she and Sun Lin cast their gazes on Jiang Ye again at the same time.

Two pairs of eyes, one pair cold like stars, one pair gentle and smiling, yet both hiding the same kind of emotion: inquiry.

However, Jiang Ye, who was being watched by two pairs of eyes at the same time, cast his gaze past them and landed on Lu Xiao, who had been standing silently on the side.

This Liu Fengzhu Lu's face was even gloomier than before, the veins on his temples jumping slightly, and those long, thin eyes under his naturally thick brows were staring fixedly at himself, the depths of his eyes churning with wariness and unwillingness.

Jiang Ye met that gaze, his expression as calm as water, saying faintly: "I heard, Liu Fengzhu Lu also wants to carve up Tianyangfeng's elixirs?"

Hearing this, Liu Qingyu and Sun Lin's expressions changed slightly.

No.

This Elder Jiang.

It's not enough to have beaten one.

He wants to beat another one!

Lu Xiao's already gloomy face changed instantly, cold light surging in those long, thin eyes, the sharp Qi around his body overflowing uncontrollably, the gravel on the ground beside him being scraped by that invisible Metal-attribute True Qi, emitting a fine cutting sound.

But when his gaze met Jiang Ye's calm, near-indifferent aged eyes, a chill rose involuntarily from the bottom of his heart.

Recalling Jiang Ye's fire seal just now, he was actually really not confident.

Especially Fire-attribute Divine Qi, which restrained Metal-attribute Divine Qi.

But in front of everyone, he couldn't retreat, let alone show cowardice, so he could only snort coldly, his voice still as sharp as a knife:

"So what if I said it, if you want to learn, this Liu Fengzhu is ready to accompany you at any time!"

Although the words were tough, he didn't say another word about carving up elixirs.

Sun Lin was so experienced that he heard the lack of confidence in Lu Xiao's voice, immediately going down the slope and speaking to smooth things over before the atmosphere could stiffen further:

"Elder Jiang, value harmony!"

"Liu Fengzhu Lu might have had some misunderstandings about your strength before..."

"But this old man believes that after this battle, he should have no more objections to Tianyangfeng's elixir share."

Lu Xiao's face was iron-blue, neither nodding nor denying.

Just at this time, a steady figure walked through the smoke and dust that had not yet dissipated at the edge of the martial arts arena, walking toward the several people.

It was none other than Zhou Yufeng.

He walked straight to Jiang Ye's side and stood, his gaze sweeping across Liu Qingyu, Sun Lin, and Lu Xiao in turn, finally falling back on Jiang Ye, smiling faintly:

"Elder Jiang, the Sect Master invites you." ===== CHAPTER 180 =====
