Chapter 1986: I've long wanted to deal with you

Faced with such a helpless situation, Wu Zhong only hated in his heart why his strength was so low.

Otherwise, how could he suffer humiliation from others inside the Cooking King Immortal City.

As the Young City Lord of the Cooking King Immortal City, not only did he fail to uphold the city's dignity, but he was even beaten like a dead dog.

With his life and death at the mercy of others, bringing shame to the Cooking King Immortal City, Wu Zhong felt utterly unwilling in his heart.

His teeth gritted, making a creaking sound, and at that moment, Zuo Jue's voice came again.

"Both arms and one leg are gone, leaving only a single leg—unsightly, let me help you?"

"I've heard of something called a human pig, which is having the limbs cut off; it would suit you quite well."

Hearing this, Wu Zhong gritted his teeth and said nothing, while Zuo Jue, without further words, raised his blade to sever Wu Zhong's last leg.

In the Cooking King Immortal City, before so many people, he was to be made into a human pig.

Wu Zhong felt only extreme humiliation, and the Cooking King Immortal City lost all face as well.

And this was Zuo Jue's purpose in coming here.

But the next second, just as Zuo Jue was about to act, before he could react, he felt his hand lighten, and Wu Zhong disappeared.

Turning his head, he saw another person appear on the platform, and Wu Zhong was currently being grabbed by that person.

"Tianlin.............."

The comer was none other than the Heavenly Family's young master, Tianlin; seeing him, Zuo Jue's expression instantly turned grim.

Toward Tianlin and those two other young Yāoniè, Zuo Jue truly hated them to the extreme.

Because all along, they had been like three great mountains pressing on his head, making him feel helpless and desperate.

No matter how hard he tried, he could not move those three mountains.

His own strength was no match, their background was not lacking either; even his own father behind him could do nothing against those three Tianlin.

Every time they met, it was Zuo Jue who suffered the loss.

Given Zuo Jue's nature, he could not accept it naturally.

However, facing Zuo Jue's hate-filled gaze, Tianlin paid no heed; and Wu Zhong, held in his hand, after regaining his senses, saw that his rescuer was actually Tianlin.

His eyes finally regained some luster, and he blurted out.

"Brother-in-law, it's you."

Huh???

What the hell are you yelling for?

His originally indifferent expression instantly turned grim upon hearing 'brother-in-law'; 'Who the hell is your brother-in-law?'

Annoyed, he casually flicked his hand, directly throwing Wu Zhong off the platform, handing him over to the Cooking King Immortal City disciples to take care of.

Out of sight, out of mind; every time he sees this brat, nothing good happens.

Ignoring Wu Zhong outright, Tianlin turned his gaze to Zuo Jue and smiled, saying.

"Looks like I've caught a good show today."

Facing Tianlin, Zuo Jue gritted his teeth and said.

"Tianlin, what do you mean? This matter has nothing to do with you, right?"

Tianlin is not a person of the Cooking King Immortal City, and moreover, the Heavenly Family and the Cooking King Immortal City have no special dealings.

Tianlin has no need whatsoever to stand up for the Cooking King Immortal City.

To this, Tianlin smiled and said.

"As for me, I hit it off with Brother Ye at first sight; I came specially today to visit Brother Ye, who as the First Young City Lord of the Cooking King Immortal City, would surely not stand by while the city is humiliated."

"And I and Brother Ye are as close as brothers; his affairs are naturally my affairs, so my intervention is justified, right?"

"You................"

"Of course, the main reason is actually that I've long wanted to deal with you; you don't know, you're really annoying, huh?"

The fury in Zuo Jue's eyes had already erupted like a volcano, yet Tianlin remained completely indifferent.

He faced Zuo Jue just as Zuo Jue had faced Wu Zhong.

Killing him wouldn't be too hard; this is no boast.

And what Zuo Jue despised most was Tianlin's indifferent attitude.

What gives him the right to treat me with such an attitude?

Furious to the point of laughing, Zuo Jue spoke with bloodshot eyes.

"Hahaha, do you think you can kill me?"

Zuo Jue does not doubt Tianlin's strength; he absolutely has the ability to kill him.

But the problem is he still has a father behind him comparable to the Heavenly Family's ancestor.

If it came to a fight to the death, even the Heavenly Family's ancestor would not have a sure chance of victory.

Precisely for this reason, even though he had clashed many times before with Tianlin and those two others, Zuo Jue always survived, and that is why.

He originally thought this time would be the same as before—Tianlin could humiliate him a bit but would definitely not be able to kill him.

Since he dared to come to the Cooking King Immortal City, Zuo Jue naturally could not be unprepared.

His father is with him; otherwise, if the Cooking King Immortal City were driven to desperation, who knows if they'd kill someone—insurance would definitely be needed.

But what Zuo Jue did not expect was that, upon hearing his words, which should have been the same as before, Zuo Jue this time acted out of character and laughed, saying.

"What you say is indeed correct, but times have changed; this situation is somewhat different from before."

"What do you mean?"

Seeing this, Zuo Jue instinctively felt something was wrong; what the hell does this guy mean by his words?

Could it be that the Heavenly Family's ancestor would actually go to a death match with his father over such a trivial matter?

You should know this is no small matter; winning or losing would have a huge impact on the Heavenly Family.

Needless to say, losing such an existence would cause the Heavenly Family to instantly fall from the ranks of the top powers.

There might even be a threat of extermination; after all, the other forces are no pushovers.

Even if they win, the Heavenly Family Ancestor will surely be injured, just as dangerous.

That's why Zuo Jue can act so recklessly—he's banking on this point.

But this time, Tianlin's answer left Zuo Jue stunned, his eyes full of disbelief.

All that was heard was Tianlin grinning as he spoke.

"You don't know this, do you? Ye Changqing's Protector of the Way is Huang Lao."

"So what?"

"So I've been telling you to use your brain more—our Heavenly Family Ancestor doesn't want to risk anything over a trivial matter, but what if that risk were gone?"

"What do you mean?"

"Heh, saying you're stupid is spot on; let me be more blunt: today it's not just you—your father will also die in this Cooking King Immortal City, got it?"

Upon hearing that, Zuo Jue froze for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"Haha, Tianlin, do you think a few words can scare me? Do you take me for a three-year-old child, or..."

Zuo Jue seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, utterly disbelieving what Tianlin said.

And you think their father and son are just ants you can slaughter at will?

But just as Zuo Jue's words fell, the Cooking King Immortal City's city-defending grand formation was activated, and outside the formation, three figures appeared one after another.

Two of them were none other than the Heavenly Family Ancestor and Huang Lao; as for the third, standing opposite them was a middle-aged man, gaunt with a face full of flesh, looking vicious and terrifying.

However, at this moment the middle-aged man looked solemnly at Huang Lao and the two, and said.

"Two fellow Daoists, let's call this off; I'll take this wayward son and return to the Pill King Immortal City."
