"Lu Tianwen, my ridian Refining Master Association and your Spirit Fighting Comrce should have no grievances, right? Why do you act so cruelly?"
Looking at the slightly familiar figure on the stone platform, Lu Jiyan couldn’t help but ask such a question, imdiately causing the faces of many in the crowd to turn sowhat strange.
These outsiders did not know that after Lu Jiyan returned from Xuanyin Hall, he shut himself in to break into the Heavenly Realm due to the disaster of the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit, and remained aloof from worldly matters.
Therefore, regarding the Slaughter Spirit Battlefield and the major events that Yun Xiao accomplished, Lu Jiyan was unaware. He believed that even if the two sides had so displeasure in Extre Yin City, it was far from reaching the point of life-and-death struggle, right?
This was the reason for the strange expressions of the onlookers because they all knew that when Yun Xiao killed the forr Vice President Lu Tianrun of Douling Comrce on Impermanence Island, the enmity between the two sides beca irreconcilable.
"No grievances? Lu Jiyan, I think you’ve cultivated until you’re dumb! Talking nonsense at this point!"
Lu Tianwen naturally didn’t know that Lu Jiyan had been in seclusion for nearly two years, indifferent to external affairs; he just thought this old man was trying to persuade him to stop, but it was too late for that.
"Presumptuous!"
Lu Tianwen’s disrespectful words imdiately provoked a loud rebuke from Qingmu Wu, who had always respected the President deeply, but it rely drew a sneering face from the forr.
"Lu Jiyan, bla your ridian Refining Master Association for recruiting a little brat who brought disaster upon himself!"
The Vice President of Spirit Fighting Comrce appeared agitated, pointed at Yun Xiao, and bitterly said, "It’s this brat Yun Xiao who killed my brother Lu Tianrun and forced to personally kill my most beloved disciple. Are these not considered grievances?"
Only at this mont did Lu Tianwen finally unleash his deepest resentnt, and upon hearing this, Lu Jiyan’s expression turned peculiar as he shifted his gaze to Yun Xiao.
"Oh? How co this kid doesn’t seem poisoned?"
Upon examining him, Lu Jiyan noticed a fact. Even Liu Hanyi, endowed with the Immortal Poison Body, was faltering after so ti, yet the youth in coarse clothes seed unaffected.
Lu Jiyan had a profound impression of Yun Xiao, even though they had only briefly t in the headquarters of Xuanyin Hall in Extre Yin City.
That brief encounter left a lasting impression on Lu Jiyan, who was certain that, given ti, Yun Xiao would surpass old geniuses like Ye Ku and beco the new unparalleled genius of Lianyun Mountain.
This was despite Lu Jiyan not knowing that Yun Xiao had saved him. In short, just that one glance was enough to realize this child was no ordinary person.
Others, including Lu Tianwen, failed to perceive the fact that Lu Jiyan, an advanced soul of the Heavenly Realm, recognized right away, heightening his interest.
It was bona fide Heavenly Rank Advanced Poison, and even Lu Jiyan needed to summon ridian Qi at all tis to isolate the poison outside, nearly impossible to maintain.
This was only achievable for Lu Jiyan after breaking into the Heavenly Realm with an advanced soul. He believed that if he was at the peak of Lingyun Realm, he would be unable to withstand such poison.
Moreover, Lu Jiyan had personally tested it, and even his Earth Rank Middle Level ridian Array was ineffective against such poison. So how had Yun Xiao overco it?
While Lu Jiyan scrutinized Yun Xiao due to Lu Tianwen’s words, Yun Xiao was also observing him, for he had so guesses based on Lu Jiyan’s actions earlier.
At least at present, it seed Lu Jiyan didn’t recognize the so-called Ten Thousand Covering Poison, implying that his ties with the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud Lu Family might not be so deep.
The reborn Yun Xiao feared entanglent with past grievances too soon. With his current strength, he was not yet invincible in Tenglong Continent, let alone Nine-layered Dragon Cloud.
Earlier, Yun Xiao resolved that if Lu Jiyan had easily neutralized the Ten Thousand Covering Poison upon appearing, staying at Lianyun Mountain would be no longer feasible, necessitating a clean break from anyone of Lu family bloodline.
But considering the sensing ability employed to save Lu Jiyan earlier and seeing the President struggling with the Ten Thousand Covering Poison, Yun Xiao realized he was overthinking.
"Bla your Lianyun Mountain for lacking judgnt and accepting such a trouble-making brat into your ranks!"
Lu Tianwen was unaware Yun Xiao was immune to poison; he only knew that even Lu Jiyan, acknowledged as the continent’s top ridian Refining Master, was helpless against the Heavenly Rank Advanced Poison, rendering everything inevitable.
"Lu Tianwen, even if what you say is true, that’s just the grudge between the Spirit Fighting Comrce and the ridian Refining Master Association. There’s no need to implicate others, right?"
Although not knowing so of the details, at this mont, Lu Yanjian vaguely understood the origins of the grudges between the two parties. He imdiately pointed to those more and more fighting cultivators and said in a deep voice.
"Hum, you belong to the Refining Cloud Mountain, today you surely won’t survive, but these people... these guys who just believed Yun Xiao would win, all have to pay with their lives for their actions. Who told them to be blind in judgnt?"
Lu Tianwen’s words provoked both anger and fear. No matter how illogical these words were, at this mont, their lives were in his hands, and they dared not utter a word of rebuttal.
These people did not know that Lu Tianwen had no antidote in hand, and it was destined for everyone to perish together today. However, seeing Lu Yanjian’s thods were useless, the one who poisoned them beca their last straw for survival.
"Lu... Vice Chairman Lu, your enemy is Yun Xiao alone. My Gu Huashan has a deep-seated hatred with that kid as well. Could you spare ?"
As everyone harbored dread because of Lu Tianwen’s words, a familiar voice suddenly ca from sowhere, making many thoughtful with a glint in their eyes.
"Senior Huashan is right; this is all Yun Xiao’s fault. Why should we take the fall for him?"
"Vice Chairman Lu, if you promise to spare our lives, we can dismber Yun Xiao for you!"
"Yun Xiao, due to you, so many people are in danger. If you still have any conscience, you should kill yourself to save others from this plight!"
"Amitabha, Yun Xiao, sacrifice yourself to save thousands; this itself is a great rit!"
"Yun Xiao, if not now, when? Do you wish to see the Refining Cloud Mountain run with blood?"
"..."
With Senior Huashan leading, for a mont, emotions ran high below the platform, and these words were all targeting Yun Xiao, blaming him alone for implicating everyone.
If previously so were afraid of Yun Xiao’s strength and background, now threatened with their lives, such rational thoughts were gone.
The sinister side of humanity seed to be fully revealed amid the brink of life and death, barring the few friends of Yun Xiao, the situation seed overwhelmingly accusatory.
So even suggested Yun Xiao end his life, thinking perhaps Lu Tianwen’s anger could be appeased, no longer directing at them outsiders, thus saving their lives.
The bald monk, who clearly ca from Thunder Sound Mountain, declared a Buddhist chant, asserting Yun Xiao’s death would be a benevolent act rescuing thousands.
Back at Yanji Lake’s turmoil, Yun Xiao had slain two Thunder Sound Mountain Arhats; hence, this Arhat, here to stir trouble, bore no goodwill, eager to add insult to injury.
No one deed that under the Advanced Heavenly Rank Poison, Yun Xiao could make a coback, evidenced by Lu Yanjian, the top figure of Tenglong Continent, struggling against such toxins.
Perhaps only the Shenxiao Sect’s genius, Nie Xiaosheng, felt uncertain about Yun Xiao’s current state. Though lacking Lu Yanjian’s sensing ability, at least Yun Xiao on the platform hadn’t truly fallen.
In an instant, Yun Xiao seed the target of broad accusations, implying if not suicide, he betrayed the entire Tenglong Continent.
These cultivators, at the brink of death, seed to forget if not for the coarse-clothed youth on the platform, leading many human cultivators in the Slaughter Spirit Battlefield, then striking major blows at Impermanence Island, their peaceful life would be uncertain.
Human nature has its flaws; your kindness and help to others may not be rembered, but once you act against their interests, they might see you as a mortal enemy, undying till resolved.
"President Lu, Yun Xiao is your Refining Cloud Mountain disciple. I suggest you imdiately expel him from Refining Cloud Mountain. Otherwise, not only will the ridian Refining Master Association be at risk, but all of us might perish!"
Seeing his few words garnering such widespread agreent, Senior Huashan was sowhat caught off guard but knew the principle of striking while the iron is hot. He pointed the spear at Lu Yanjian, President of the ridian Refining Master Association.
Upon these words, the crowd quickly changed tune, unanimously condemning the Refining Cloud Mountain for recruiting such a troublemaker, leading to today’s calamity.
This matter, Refining Cloud Mountain must bear full responsibility.
