"You'll convey this message?" Zhao Long's gaze fell on Xiang'er, and the next second, he strode forward.
When Xiang'er saw Zhao Long's sharp gaze, she was startled and instinctively began to back away.
However, she had only just stepped back when Zhao Long took a step forward, closing in on her and raising his hand.
"Smack!"
A resounding slap landed on Xiang'er's tender face.
Xiang'er screamed, several bloody marks appearing on her cheeks. She was sent flying and crashed heavily to the ground, completely disoriented.
She was only at the Meridian Opening Realm, while Zhao Long was already at the Peak Wheel Sea Realm. The difference between them was like heaven and earth, and there was no comparison at all.
If Zhao Long hadn't hesitated to kill her, that previous palm strike would probably have been enough to kill her.
" Senior Brother Zhao, what are you doing?"
" Senior Brother Zhao, this is the Holy Son Hall! How can you act so recklessly!"
" Senior Brother Zhao, aren't you afraid of being punished by the sect for doing this?"
The other maids' expressions changed drastically upon seeing this.
They hurried to help Xiang'er up, gritting their teeth as they spoke.
They were both furious!
This Zhao Long is absolutely bullying them! He attacks without warning, what does he take them for?
However, being weaker than others, despite their anger, they only dared to utter a few mild words; as for anything else, they were simply powerless to do anything.
Zhao Long sneered, " Holy Son Hall? Reckless behavior? Sect punishment? Heh, are you threatening me?"
As he spoke, Spiritual Qi suddenly surged around his palms, and he repeatedly struck forward with his palms.
Bang bang bang!
A series of sounds, accompanied by screams and cries of alarm, sent all the maids flying, crashing heavily to the ground.
They lay sprawled on the ground, looking utterly disheveled, their faces filled with terror and rage as they stared at Zhao Long.
This is outrageous!
This is absolutely outrageous!
Are inner disciples allowed to act with such impunity?
Zhao Long, however, didn't care at all. He looked down at Xiang'er and her group as if they were a group of ants.
He sneered, "I want to see the Holy Son, but you dogs dare to trespass on my path. Are you blind, or do you think I'm easy to bully?"
He pointed at Xiang'er and her group, his tone disdainful. "A mere bunch of servants, now reduced to maids and servants serving others, yet they dare to block my way, Zhao Long?"
"I, Zhao Long, have spared your lives out of respect for the sect. Don't you know what it means to respect your senior brothers and what it means to respect the strong?"
Then Zhao Long looked at Xiang'er: "And you, who do you think you are? I want to see the Holy Son, do you even have the right to convey my request?"
"Who are you, and who am I? What qualifications do you have to relay messages on behalf of this inner sect? Are you even worthy?"
Xiang'er and her group clenched their fists, their faces were deathly pale, and their lips were bleeding from biting them.
Looking at Zhao Long's grinning face, they could only endure the humiliation.
Seeing Xiang'er and her group like this, Zhao Long became even more outrageous. "Do you really think that by serving the Holy Son here, he will treat you like human beings?"
"Believe it or not, even if I kill you all, the Holy Son won't stand up for you! A bunch of trash who don't know their place, just playthings!"
Xiang'er and the others were so angry they were almost dying of rage when they heard such humiliating words.
Utter disgrace!
Although they were menial servants, they were still human beings, and women at that. They had entered the Holy Land through their own abilities.
How could they have ever endured such humiliation?
Looking at Zhao Long in front of them, Xiang'er and the others gritted their teeth and clenched their fists, burning with anger but powerless to do anything about it.
Are we going to risk our lives?
It's just suicide!
Moreover, what Zhao Long said wasn't entirely wrong.
Even if they were responsible for serving the Holy Son, they were still just menial servants. Would the Holy Son really offend a powerful inner disciple like Zhao Long for the sake of such insignificant people as them?
Does the Holy Son truly respect them?
They didn't know either.
I don't believe it!
However, at that moment, a detached voice rang out.
Then, everyone saw the Holy Son Hall open, and Ye Xuan walked out.
"Senior Brother Holy Son!"
" Senior Brother Ye!"
When Xiang'er and the others saw Ye Xuan, they quickly struggled to get up and greeted him, hot tears streaming down their faces.
I feel so wronged!
Zhao Long was also startled, and immediately looked at Ye Xuan, putting on a smiling face, "Inner disciple Zhao Long greets Holy Son Ye. The reason Zhao Long have come is—"
However, before he could finish speaking, Ye Xuan interrupted him.
"Leave aside your purpose for coming here; first tell me why you attacked my people. What wrong have they done?"
Ye Xuan looked at Zhao Long, his eyes icy and his tone chilling:
"If they've made a mistake and violated the clan rules, you don't need to intervene; I'll personally escort them to the Law Enforcement Hall. If they've done nothing wrong, then you'll have to give me an explanation."
Ye Xuan was also very annoyed, his chest filled with boundless rage.
As the saying goes, even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner.
Xiang'er and her group were in the Holy Son Hall, so they were his people. Yet Zhao Long dared to be so presumptuous. Wasn't he showing no respect for Ye Xuan?
Moreover, as a transmigrated soul, Ye Xuan didn't have such a strong concept of strength and weakness in his mind.
He never believed that weakness was a sin, that weakness deserved to die, or that weakness was a reason to be humiliated by the strong.
Upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, Zhao Long's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "Holy Son, I am here on the orders of Senior Brother Qi Yao to deliver a challenge."
"But these ignorant servants dared to stop me without the Holy Son's permission. I was furious, so I taught them a lesson on behalf of the Holy Son."
Although Zhao Long's attitude towards Ye Xuan was a hundred thousand times better than his attitude towards Xiang'er and the others, it still couldn't be considered particularly respectful.
Moreover, by bringing up Qi Yao, he was clearly reminding Ye Xuan that he was Qi Yao's man, and that Ye Xuan should think twice before taking any action against him.
Qi Yao was also one of the ten candidates for the Holy Son.
"What? Qi Yao?"
When Xiang'er and the others heard the name Qi Yao, their expressions changed.
To them, that was a truly important figure, someone they could only dream of.
Ye Xuan's expression didn't change much as he walked step by step towards Zhao Long: "That's it?"
He sneered, "Who do you think you are? What right do you have to discipline them on behalf of this Holy Son? You're not worthy!"
Zhao Long's expression changed drastically, and he retreated hastily. "What do you want to do? I'm Senior Brother Qi Yao's man, and I'm here to issue a challenge. You dare to touch me?"
Ye Xuan continued to approach Zhao Long, curling his lip in disdain:
"Who is Qi Yao? Do I even know him? Don't tell me you're just one of his men. Even if you were him, daring to mess with my people like this, I'd dare to mess with you too."
As he spoke, Ye Xuan suddenly became enraged!
He used the Wandering Dragon Steps and instantly appeared in front of Zhao Long.
Zhao Long was startled and made a move to retreat, but it was too late.
"Smack!"
Ye Xuan slapped him across the face:
"Damn it, are you taking advantage of my shallow foundation? Are you taking advantage of my soft heart? Is it because my killing on the martial arts stage wasn't enough that you dare to be so insolent?"
"Smack!"
"You're just an inner disciple, do you think you can just see me whenever you want? You're not worthy to see me, are they wrong to stop you?"
"Smack!"
"As the saying goes, even when you're about to hit someone, you have to consider their master. How dare you hit one of my people? You're showing no respect for me!"
"Clap clap clap!"
"You damn bastard!"
Ye Xuan acted like a madman, cursing furiously while slapping Zhao Long more than a dozen times in an instant.
