Jiang Yuanyin: "What am I laughing at? Haven't you heard of hiding a blade behind a smile?"
Time passed little by little.
Finally, in the distance, a figure appeared, soaring through the air.
At the same time.
Brush.
A light appeared before Lu Changzhi's eyes.
[Name]: Xia Ya
[Realm]: Saint Realm Ninth Layer
[Qualification]: Saint Rank Low Grade
[Constitution]: Ordinary human body
[Talent]: Sword Dao Mastery, Modest Achievement
"The Saint Realm Ninth Layer?"
Lu Changzhi said softly.
This level of skill, disregarding the old master's words, is indeed not weak.
At this moment, Xia Ya's figure was already hovering in mid-air in front of Lu Changzhi and the others.
Xia Ya's gaze swept over Gu Chen and the others before finally settling on Lu Changzhi.
Although he still couldn't see through the specifics of these younger people, his intuition told him that this young man was probably the most outstanding among them.
At that moment, he spoke:
"Which faction do you belong to?"
Lu Changzhi glanced at Xia Ya and replied:
"The Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty."
Xia Ya nodded slightly, not asking further questions, but going straight to the point, saying:
"Was the Perfect Sudden Enlightenment that occurred in the Nine-Story Tower previously triggered by one of you?"
Lu Changzhi did not answer, but asked:
What do you mean?
Upon hearing this, Xia Ya narrowed his eyes slightly.
Faced with Perfect Sudden Enlightenment, without the slightest doubt or confusion, it seems I've found the right person.
At that moment, he spoke calmly:
"I come from the Xia Clan. Since you have been able to induce a complete Sudden Enlightenment, you have also gained the opportunity to go to the Xia Clan for training. Prepare yourself and come with me."
There was no hint of discussion in their words.
However, in his view, this was not up for discussion. Being able to accept the Xia Clan's training and become a prodigy was something countless younger generations desperately pursued.
Now, this young man from the Land of the Four Directions before me, I should be grateful for the spot I gave him.
However, Lu Changzhi's reaction was clearly different from what he had expected.
"I appreciate your kind offer," Lu Changzhi, gently shaking his head.
The people from the Xia Clan were indeed incredibly arrogant, practically wearing their arrogance on their faces.
Xia Ya chuckled upon hearing this:
"Kid, do you even know what you refused?"
Before Lu Changzhi could answer, Xia Ya said:
"My Xia Clan is far superior to your small, Land of the Four Directions. Our cultivation resources alone are tens of thousands of times better than those Land of the Four Directions yours. Once you become a qualified prodigy servant, you will enjoy even more..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Changzhi gently waved his hand:
"Not interested."
Beside her, Qin Li Jingjing watched Xia Ya, her gaze calm.
This familiar sense of arrogance from a powerful clan is something I rarely see again.
However, how ridiculous these words are.
If the other party knew what their master possessed, how could they dare to utter such absurd words as "a thousand times greater"?
"Snort!"
Seeing Lu Changzhi's reaction, Xia Ya snorted coldly:
"You are ungrateful. Giving you a chance is an honor bestowed upon you by our Xia Clan, yet you insist on refusing. You are utterly ignorant."
At the same time, Xia Kun also gave the following instructions:
"Our Xia Clan doesn't need anyone to come. If he's unwilling, then so be it. Take the Nine-Story Tower."
Xia Ya nodded slightly, then looked at Lu Changzhi and said:
"Now, hand over the Nine-Story Tower."
Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi understood and smiled:
"It seems your real purpose is to steal things."
"This Nine-Tower Secret Realm has always belonged to my Xia Clan, so why..."
As she spoke, Xia Ya's tone shifted, revealing a hint of impatience:
"No need for further words. Hand over the Nine-Story Tower, or reveal its whereabouts, and I'll spare your lives. Otherwise, you die!"
As soon as the word "death" was uttered, an immense pressure emanated from his body, surging forth instantly and pressing down on Lu Changzhi and the others.
Brush.
Before the oppressive force could arrive, another force appeared and blocked it completely.
Xia Ya showed no surprise whatsoever.
"I knew you were here all along, now get out here!"
As he spoke, Xia Ya pointed his fingers into a sword shape and pointed it at a spot in the void Lu Changzhi.
A dazzling sword light flashed by.
Boom!
The force exploded, causing the void to tremble, and then Jiang Yuanyin's figure slowly appeared.
She wasn't angry; instead, she looked at Xia Ya with a slight smile.
At the same time, Lu Changzhi heard Jiang Yuanyin message:
"Unfortunately, they are not guests."
At the same time, Xia Ya also looked at Jiang Yuanyin, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"Do you remember your sneak attack earlier? Now, it'll start with you!"
By making an example of someone, even the guardian has died. At that time, I wonder how these younger generations from Land of the Four Directions will react.
Beside them, Mu Fan, Mu Fan, and Xiao Ye, the three with systems, all had strange expressions.
You have to pick the softest persimmon to squeeze, but this Xia Ya guy is clearly not one of them.
Pick the hardest one first, then pick the hardest one next.
"It's only because Master is too lazy to bother with it, otherwise this guy would probably have been banished long ago." Mu Fan shook his head inwardly.
As for the present situation, the master doesn't care, but these patriarchs of the Five Symbols Sect obviously won't.
Using the system, Mu Fan noticed that many names had already secretly formed three circles around him.
At this moment, the atmosphere on the field was actually somewhat strange.
After Xia Ya spoke, Jiang Yuanyin acted as if he hadn't heard her, or rather, he didn't care at all. He showed no anger or dissatisfaction, but instead just smiled and looked at Xia Ya.
"What are you laughing at?" Xia Ya frowned and said coldly.
I laughed...
Jiang Yuanyin answered, but before he could finish speaking, he suddenly took a step forward.
Brush.
Jiang Yuanyin's entire figure vanished from the spot.
Suddenly, a flash of light appeared between heaven and earth, its speed astonishing.
Laugh.
A soft sound was heard.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Yuanyin back to his original position.
At this moment, Xia Ya's expression changed drastically. He clutched his neck tightly with both hands, trying to speak, but a large amount of blood gushed from his mouth.
Jiang Yuanyin's smile faded, and he looked calmly at Xia Ya.
"What are you laughing at? Don't you even know that a smile can hide a knife?"
Xia Ya stared intently at Jiang Yuanyin.
To my utter surprise, the opponent still resorted to such a sneak attack tactic.
To his surprise, he was successfully ambushed!
However, as a Saint Realm, such injuries are not enough to kill him. As long as his soul remains intact, his physical body can be restored. But right now, he needs to return to the Xia Clan as soon as possible.
"Supervisor, please make a move."
As the voice faded, Xia Kun's figure emerged from Xia Ya's body.
The aura of the Saint King Realm surged forth, stirring the surrounding world and instantly creating a terrifying storm.
"You dare to harm a member of my Xia Clan? You're courting death."
Xia Kun spoke, his voice booming, carrying an unyielding will:
"Commit suicide here, or the entire Land of the Four Directions will perish because of you!"
Faced with Xia Kun's appearance, Jiang Yuanyin remained calm, merely shaking his head and saying softly:
"The younger ones are arrogant, and the older ones are even more arrogant; it's not surprising."
As Jiang Yuanyin spoke, a light flashed before Lu Changzhi's eyes:
Faced with such a pretentious Xia Kun, what would you choose?
"I. Jingjing watch him pretend. [Reward: Saint Rank Peak Grade artifact - Spear-Forging Red Triangle *1.]"
"Second, cooperate in the performance, indicating that you were tricked. [Reward: Saint Rank Peak Grade artifact - Smiling Face Person Mask *1.]"
"Third, let him understand through practical actions that showing off will get you struck by lightning. [Reward: Xia Kun's Cultivation Condensation and Inheritance *1.]"
