Chapter 428: Shamelessness Conquers Thick-Skinned

In Longling's mind appeared the expression of the black demon mosquito looking at itself back then; that was all a yearning for freedom, and the demon mosquitoes in the stone forest extremely hoped to be rescued and break free of the seal.

However, at that moment, what Longling thought of was Earth cultivators.

Although Earth entered the High Martial Age after the apocalyptic cold wave, the time humanity has spent on cultivation is too short; although Earth's spiritual power has recovered, the cultivation speed of cultivators remains very slow.

Moreover, among the large population of Earth cultivators, high-end combat power is still lacking.

Once the Universe Cultivation World descends upon Earth, for the cultivators of the dropped ball, that destruction is outright lethal; Earth cultivators can only fall into a passive state of being beaten, with no power to resist.

His main body, Ye Qin, considering this vital point, brought a star beast from the starry sky, using the star beast to guard the star field near Earth.

The star beast formed a layer of protective restriction in that star field near Earth with its origin divine ability, making it so that few cultivators could discover or notice the star field where Earth lies; however, nothing is absolute, if a strong cultivator from the Universe Cultivation World mistakenly enters that star field, Earth will directly face disaster.

Therefore, when Longling saw the demon mosquito in the stone forest and its eyes revealed a longing for freedom, he felt compassion and then threw out the Bronze Ancient Sword.

The Bronze Ancient Sword was forged by ancient sages on Earth, incomparably mysterious; it once led Ye Qin's main body into the river of history, delivering all sages and emperors who had karmic ties with the Bronze Ancient Sword to the modern Shangqing Temple, where they were baptized by the power of all beings' faith, allowing them to be resurrected in reality and become guardians of the Dao for Earth's human cultivators.

The iron chains in that stone forest have already been erased of many patterns on the sealing copper chains by the demon mosquito's descendants, using the divinity of the golden willow twig in Qin Cang's hand; know that those golden willow branches come from one of the five ancient sovereigns, the Wood Emperor, from the Enlightenment Dao Willow tree.

Those wood-attribute divine essences possess unparalleled power and have long infiltrated the bronze chains of the stone forest; if the demon mosquito makes good use of the Bronze Ancient Sword, it might be able to escape the sealed area of the stone forest.

Longling used the Bronze Ancient Sword as a cause to help the demon mosquito escape trouble, thereby achieving the goal of the demon mosquito guarding Earth.

After Longling finished thinking, he then looked around his surroundings.

After they emerged from the Heavenly Cavern and entered a sacred place, in the distance of this space stood a huge palace resembling an alchemy furnace, towering into the vast sky.

Purple rosy clouds shone for thirty thousand li, the Five Elements runes condensed into five-colored rosy cloud strips inlaid around the palace, divine radiance suffused the air, giving a feeling of transcending to the sacred.

Now many cultivators are hurriedly rushing toward the palace resembling an alchemy furnace; Longling heard the introduction of that palace by Universe Cultivation World cultivators and knew it was the Haotian Palace everyone sought, inside which lies the mysterious supreme treasure Haotian Stone capable of forging the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Realm.

"Tell you all, if you do not give this seat satisfactory compensation,"

"You lot had better not think of leaving this place."

Just then, the fierce quarreling nearby pulled Longling's thoughts back.

She looked over and saw Heiyao and others arguing with a rough, burly man who resembled Black Zhang Fei.

The more Longling listened, the more interested he became.

The one whose chrysanthemum was poked by the golden willow vine in Qin Chen's hand turned out to be this Guo Yuan; seeing his broad waist and round figure, he was indeed quite round.

Heiyao and others kept arguing nonstop over compensation with Guo Yuan.

She had come to the Universe Cultivation World and encountered someone so courteous and reasonable; this was truly the first time she had met such a person.

"What's going on?"

Longling called Heifeng over to inquire.

"Boss, you don't know about this."

"Guo Yuan, relying on his status as a disciple of the Chief Demon Mound, discovered that we accidentally injured his chrysanthemum?"

"He demands eighty million heavenly crystals as compensation, claiming it's for mental loss." Heifeng's face showed an expression of uncontainable anger as he replied.

"Even golden chrysanthemums aren't that expensive!"

"Eighty million heavenly crystals is already the pure quarterly profit of the Supreme Great Teaching in the Tianji Shengyu."

"Guo Yuan opening his mouth to demand that many heavenly crystals clearly shows he wants to frame them on the spot."

"Moreover, the Chief Demon Mound is one of the major evil-path forces; Guo Yuan is relying on his evil-path identity to ruthlessly extort them."

"Boss, you don't know, Guo Yuan also has a particularly nonsensical demand."

"Even after paying the eighty million heavenly crystals, he also wants to poke each of us once."

"You say, who could agree to that?"

Heifeng's face suddenly turned extremely angry.

"Who takes money and then has to repay again? This isn't losing the wife and losing the troops,"

"Why are you still arguing with them? Just take care of them!"

"We even have Qin Cang, a disciple of the Primeval Clan; just report his name and that'll scare them off."

Longling felt somewhat speechless; when strength outweighs reason, if you can't argue, you just strike—this is common sense in the Universe Cultivation World.

"Boss, you don't know, the cultivators of the Chief Demon Mound are notorious tough scoundrels in the Universe Cultivation World, shameless scoundrels."

"They run rampant throughout the Universe Cultivation World, wrangling over any profit."

"Don't look at their amiable, reasonable appearance; it's all just a facade."

"Their hearts are full of wicked schemes!" Heifeng explained to Longling.

"Moreover, you know what Guo Yuan and his lot are saying!"

"If they aren't satisfied, Guo Yuan will lead the Chief Demon Mound cultivators to widely spread what we've done."

"He wants to drag us along to lose face and be disgraced in the Universe Cultivation World."

"Qin Cang originally intended to intervene, but upon hearing that, he was instantly frightened."

"Look at them, they've all retreated to the back of the crowd, afraid others will remember his appearance."

"Sigh."

Heifeng shook his head, then pointed at Qin Cang's position and spoke resentfully, simply helpless against Guo Yuan's gang of Chief Demon Mound cultivators.

As the saying goes, those without face or skin are invincible under heaven; today I finally opened my eyes to that.

As long as you are shameless, the one who suffers harm can only be others.

After hearing Heifeng's words, Longling looked over at Guo Yuan and company, seeing their carefree, nostrils-upturned demeanor, obviously they would not stop until achieving their goal.

Yet we can't fight them, and it's really quite a predicament.

However, Longling, after all from Earth, knows a modern maxim: if the enemy can let go, only being able to let go even more can defeat them.

So after Longling pondered a moment, he secretly transmitted sound to Heifeng; upon hearing, Heifeng's face instantly turned bitter, he turned to glance at Guo Yuan and company, then hastily turned back, shaking his head uncontrollably at Longling.

"Boss, I really am not suited for this."

"If not, just change person."

Besides, if we do this, how will I be able to face people in the Universe Cultivation World from now on!" Heifeng's face turned extremely ugly, his mouth trembling as he spoke embarrassedly.

He was truly speechless.

How could Longling come up with such an idea to deal with Guo Yuan and the others? If this were in the whole Universe Cultivation World, any normal person probably wouldn't think of it.

Moreover, just looking at Guo Yuan's few companions with their ugly, misshapen faces makes one feel disgusted.

Heifeng bent over and retched a few times at the thought, not daring to look at Guo Yuan and the others again.

"Boss, seriously, I can't bring myself to do it."

"Disgusted." Heifeng explained to Longling, then couldn't help bending over and retching again.

"If you are willing,"

I will lend you the Myriad Soul Banner for a few days.

If you disagree, then consider it as if I never said anything.' Longling suddenly flashed a meaningful smile.

Heifeng and Gui Yin Shi's love for the Myriad Soul Banner had long been in sight; he planned to use it to catch two big fish, but compared to Gui Yin Shi, Heifeng was more malleable.

"Really, boss!" Heifeng, upon hearing Longling's words, instantly felt energized and replied enthusiastically.

"You just can't bring yourself to do it, huh?" Longling teased.

"Who said that, who said that

Boss, quickly tell me; I will definitely tear that person's mouth apart.

"Even if Guo Yuan looked like a dog, or even if he turned into a pile of shit, I would dare to eat it.' Heifeng spoke solemnly, his voice full of affirmation and resolve, leaving no room for doubt.

"Have you thought through the consequences of doing such a wicked deed?

From now on, you won't have the face to be a person in the Universe Cultivation World.' Longling gazed at Heifeng, a playful look on his face, and teased.

"Person?

What kind of work is a person?!

Supreme powerhouses have always called cultivators of the Heavenly Spirit Realm ants; low‑strength cultivators are no longer human.

They aren't people at all, so where does any face come from!

Heifeng's face showed a stern expression, his tone extremely resolute, having long disregarded face.

Oh?

Longling's face again showed an expression of disbelief, but this time Heifeng started to feel anxious.

Heifeng's heart felt like it was being scratched, unable to calm at all.

His cultivation method is extremely strange, a family‑passed Ghost Dance that can command the dead; with the aid of the Myriad Soul Banner, not only does cultivation become twice as effective, but the Ghost Dance can also merge with the banner, doubling his strength.

With his Heavenly Spirit Realm combat power doubled, it means that alone he can fight as if he were three of himself; not only will his safety be assured when wandering the Universe Cultivation World, but he can also rank among the foremost Heavenly Pride of the Universe.

Seeing Longling about to leave, Heifeng instantly turned into a black flash that shot past Longling's side; thereafter, whether it was Heiyao, Bibo Xianzi and the others, or any passing cultivator of the Universe Cultivation World, all stared in stunned disbelief.

Muh muh muh

The surrounding air filled with the sound of faces being gnawed, causing all Universe Cultivation World cultivators to look extremely strange, many stopping to watch.

They saw a youngster with a tattoo on half his face instantly leap onto Guo Yuan's shoulder and then start wildly kissing that black face.

It happened too fast; even Guo Yuan and the cultivators of the Chief Demon Mausoleum hadn't reacted yet.

Until Guo Yuan let out a hysterical shriek, the Chief Demon Mausoleum cultivators this time noticed his condition and fled in fright, fearing to be implicated.

"What the hell is this?

"Get lost, get lost, get lost!"

Guo Yuan flailed wildly, trying to shake off Heifeng clinging to his shoulder, but Heifeng's legs were wrapped around Guo Yuan's armpit, pinning his arms; Guo Yuan couldn't even reach his own head, so he could only struggle aimlessly.

"You're all corpses, hurry up and get rid of him!"

Guo Yuan saw several fellow disciples standing there like wooden chickens, and he was furious.

He had already been molested, yet his companions just stood by watching the show, not a single one stepping forward to help; this glance almost made him pass out from anger.

The Chief Demon Mausoleum cultivators, hearing Guo Yuan's words, looked at Heifeng's violent actions and all shivered.

Grandpa, it's too crazy.

The black‑clad youth with a tattoo on half his face lunged onto Guo Yuan's face, biting fiercely with lips and teeth, leaving tooth marks and saliva all over Guo Yuan's dark face.

Damn, where did this youth come from? His tastes are bizarre—he actually likes such a heavy flavor.

The Chief Demon Mausoleum cultivators, restrained by Guo Yuan's aura, forced their bodies to move toward him, but at that moment they saw Guo Yuan turn his head, mouth full of black hair, glaring at them; those moving forward instinctively shot back ten zhang.

The Chief Demon Mausoleum cultivators were astonished; they saw Heifeng spit out the black hair from his mouth and then stare at them with a sideways, playful gaze, all turning ashen with fear.

"Do you want to join?

Yes, yes, baby likes it.

Heifeng, following Longling's words, made an orchid finger, tightened his throat and spoke in a dainty voice; not only did all the cultivators present get goosebumps, but Heifeng himself found it hard to believe.

"My dear!!

"Damn, what the hell is this, so evil!

"Senior Brother Guo Yuan, this thing can't be dealt with.

"I'll go call for help."

The Chief Demon Mausoleum cultivators were the first to shoot into the sky, rushing toward Haotian Palace, unwilling to stay in place for fear of ending up like Guo Yuan—losing their virtue and suffering inhuman treatment.

"Senior Brother Guo Yuan, nine people going for reinforcements isn't enough.

Junior Brother knows where the recent fellow disciples are; he'll go and return quickly.

Please bear with it for a moment.

The Chief Demon Mausoleum cultivators realized the last sentence was wrong, then spat out a mouthful of "that way".

"Pah.

"Senior Brother Guo Yuan, please take care."

After the cultivator finished speaking, he fled in the opposite direction without looking back.

Not even half an incense stick's time had passed before Guo Yuan was left dumbfounded.

His tiger eyes, round and glistening, involuntarily welled up with tears; he felt saliva all over his face, and the beardless parts of his cheeks burned with pain.

He could only regret it too late.

Had he known what kind of world-shattering calamity would befall him, what compensation would matter? He would have simply fled.

Now it's fine; from now on, his integrity will be taken out by Huanyu cultivators to be chatted about after meals.

Ancestor, please come down!

Wrong, really wrong.

I'll never dare again!

Come down already, ancestor; I really can't take it anymore.

Oh my beard, it hurts, hurts, hurts!

Guo Yuan trembled uncontrollably all over, and beads of sweat surged forth on his forehead from his anxiety.

The Huanyu cultivators, especially their nakedly contemptuous gazes, felt like they were stabbing his spine; a strong sense of shame welled up in his heart, making his face burn and even his ears feel hot.

Being thick-skinned and shameless is one thing, but it shouldn't be defiled.

His integrity, under the public eye, was being ridden on someone's shoulder and trampled into pieces.

Oh

Brother, no more compensation—what about the younger brother?

The younger brother's mouth is sore, and he's wasted a lot.

You pay, you pay, you pay for other people's families.

Heifeng continued to emit a clipped sound as Longling had instructed.

Guo Yuan felt his stomach churn like an overturned river and sea, while the surrounding Huanyu cultivators were greatly startled, feeling numbness on their scalps; many couldn't bear to watch and directly drove their magic treasures to rush away.

Pay, pay, pay, all compensation.

As long as you can come down, you are my father.

Guo Yuan struggled to wipe away the tears in his eyes and the nasal mucus from his retching, and spoke in terror.

At this moment he had completely compromised; his skin was already thick enough, but the person riding on his neck was not human at all.

Every word he uttered made him feel extremely nauseous; the key humiliation was that he was still riding and sitting on his own shoulder, causing Guo Yuan's state of mind to collapse.

Everyone has heard that, right? Come and be a witness.

Heiyao saw Heifeng speaking to them and, in a panic, everyone left their previous positions and hid behind Longling.

Who is that person?

They don't know each other?
