Chapter 194: Gufang Ninglin, This Prince Has Her Covered!
"Where are the people from the Shangyu Dynasty? Are they all fucking cowards?"
Jiang Xun stood by the edge of the corridor and continued to shout.
The number of onlookers was growing; many people had gone out to execute missions, so there were only scattered individuals in the corridors of each floor, though the total number added up to quite a lot.
"What are you shouting about? Who are you?"
At this moment, a man flew down from the floor with the Heavenly Rooms, landed in front of Jiang Xun, stood on the corridor railing, and looked down at Jiang Xun from a superior position.
The man appeared to be slightly past middle age, wearing light armor, a black cape, a ponytail, and a white inner lining with narrow sleeves; he looked quite heroic.
"Dao Master Xia! It's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding!" Gufang Ninglin hurriedly blocked the front of Jiang Xun and bowed repeatedly to the man.
"Tian Zeyan, this is the Blade Dao Master, you cannot be rude!"
Jiang Xun grabbed Gufang Ninglin and pulled her behind him.
"Perfect, I actually wanted to ask: is this how the higher-ups of your Tianwai Island manage your disciples? I came here by reputation, yet a group of people has repeatedly bullied my Senior Sister. Are the eyes of the higher-ups of your Tianwai Island blind!"
Jiang Xun looked at Dao Master Xia and shouted.
"Who exactly are you?" Hearing this, Dao Master Xia frowned as he looked at Jiang Xun; even after hearing that he was a Dao Master, this person was still so arrogant?
"The Tenth Prince of the Tianyu Dynasty, Tian Zeyan."
Jiang Xun was high-spirited, head held high and chest out, opening his folding fan to fully display his aristocratic air.
"... Dao Master He's new disciple?" Dao Master Xia asked.
"Exactly." Jiang Xun nodded: "Dao Master Xia, surely you aren't planning to stand up for those pieces of trash from the Shangyu Dynasty?"
"This is Tian Wai Lou, not a place for you to throw a tantrum." Dao Master Xia looked at Jiang Xun and said coldly: "If there are private grudges or grievances, you can arrange to meet at the Battle Platform outside to resolve them properly."
"Did you hear that, Shangyu Li, Chen Shiqing? If you have any guts, stop acting like cowards. This Prince will beat you both into dog heads single-handedly. Get out here!"
Jiang Xun shouted again.
"Stop shouting." He Luyun flew down from above at this moment, carrying two people in her hands.
After landing in front of Jiang Xun, she threw the two people onto the ground.
Both men were covered in blood and wounds, and they had almost lost all their teeth.
"Shangyu Li and Chen Shiqing..." Gufang Ninglin said in disbelief upon seeing this.
"Dao Master He?" Dao Master Xia frowned slightly at the sight.
"Bullying my Personal Disciple? Do you think I'm dead?" He Luyun looked at Dao Master Xia and said coldly: "You had better make the people from the Shangyu Dynasty under your sect behave themselves, otherwise don't blame me for coming to your door. This time, it was you who provoked the trouble first."
Jiang Xun had not expected He Luyun to stand up for him, and to have beaten Shangyu Li and Chen Shiqing before he even could.
The onlookers around felt lingering fear when they saw the two men on the verge of death.
It was a good thing they hadn't managed to do anything to Gufang Ninglin yet!
"Listen well, all of you. This Prince is the Tenth Prince of the Tianyu Dynasty, Tian Zeyan. From today on, Gufang Ninglin is under my protection. Whoever dares to touch her again, or dares to say another word of gossip about her, we will see each other at the Battle Platform. If you aren't willing to go to the Battle Platform, don't blame this Prince for smashing your rooms directly!"
Jiang Xun looked at everyone in the corridor and shouted.
Now that the Nine Heavens Reversal Robe could withstand attacks from the Void Refining Great Perfection, as long as no Dao Master was shameless enough to attack Jiang Xun, not a single disciple on the entire Tianwai Island was Jiang Xun's match.
Hearing Jiang Xun's words, the crowd began to buzz with chaotic discussion.
He Luyun also looked at Jiang Xun in surprise; she hadn't expected Jiang Xun to go to such lengths to stand up for Gufang Ninglin.
"What's that guy's background? I see he's only at the Peak of Initial Stage of Transformation Realm, how is he so arrogant?"
"Didn't you hear him shouting at Dao Master Xia just now?"
"The Tianyu Dynasty seems to be quite powerful."
"That's right, the Tianyu Dynasty is now considered a top-tier dynasty. If a war breaks out, the Tianyu Dynasty is one of the dynasties that could potentially achieve final victory."
"No wonder he's so confident."
"Heh, won't he bring hatred upon the Tianyu Dynasty by acting like this?" someone sneered.
"It seems the Tianyu Dynasty only sent this one prince; could it be that he was specifically sent here for training to inherit the great mission in the future?"
"Inherit the great mission? Him?"
"I just asked around; he's only eighteen this year."
"So what if he's eighteen? Eighteen... eighteen years old and already at the Peak of Initial Stage of Transformation Realm?"
Halfway through his sentence, the man finally reacted and looked at Jiang Xun in astonishment.
"Dao Master Xia, let's not interfere in the affairs of the young, shall we go back?" He Luyun said, looking at Dao Master Xia.
"Heh." Dao Master Xia sneered, glanced at the two half-dead fellows on the ground, and then flew away.
"Thank you, Master... thank you, Junior Brother..."
After the outsiders were gone, Gufang Ninglin looked at the two and said in a low voice.
"I've caused you trouble..."
"What trouble? Our dynasties already have the potential to go to war; we are enemies sooner or later. This has nothing to do with your affairs." Jiang Xun said, looking at Gufang Ninglin.
"Being high-profile is quite good." He Luyun said, looking at Jiang Xun, and after saying that, she left directly.
Jiang Xun then picked up Shangyu Li and Chen Shiqing and threw them down from the floor.
The two protectors hurriedly rushed out from the side upon seeing this; one was at the Spirit Transformation Great Perfection, the other at the Transformation Spirit Initial Stage, and both rushed to catch their respective young masters as they landed on the ground.
If they had fallen like that, they would have truly been killed.
"When those two dog-trash of yours wake up, tell them that I will make them pay an even more painful price."
Jiang Xun rested one hand on the railing and said, looking down.
Hearing this, the two could not help but look at their young masters; wasn't this miserable enough?
When He Luyun took action to teach them a lesson just now, these two protectors really didn't dare to show their faces; He Luyun wouldn't kill Shangyu Li and Chen Shiqing, but she wouldn't show mercy to the protectors.
If they had dared to show their faces, it would have been certain death.
"He should also have protectors following him..."
Seeing those two Dao Protectors, the crowd finally reacted.
Dao Protectors are generally hidden and do not show their faces, appearing only at life-or-death moments, to the point that they often forget they have Dao Protectors following them, or are not even sure if there is one by their side at all.
"Looking at his arrogant appearance, could his Dao Protector be a Venerable?"
Saints are already extremely rare, and they serve as the Holy Emperor of a dynasty, so Venerables of the Integration Realm are still very highly sought after in this world.
"If it is truly as we speculated, that he was sent here specifically for training, then the Dao Protector really could be a Venerable."
Another person nodded.
Hearing their conversation, Jiang Xun's mind stirred; he could have Jiang Yan disguise herself as his Dao Protector, that way he wouldn't have to keep letting her die over and over again, and if people like Dao Master Yan or Dao Master Xia were to ambush Jiang Xun, Jiang Yan would also be able to discover it immediately.
