The Blood Immortal Ancestor possessed imnse power, wielding a Two-Crown Heavenly Immortal Cultivation Base. Despite being a renowned Immortal Family master, Wang Xiaoqiang was rely an obscure youth, having only the Earth Immortal Two Plates cultivation. Initially, Wang Xiaoqiang was not even qualified to be the Blood Immortal Ancestor's apprentice, yet unexpectedly demanded the Blood Immortal Ancestor to be his apprentice.
Upon hearing this, the Blood Immortal Ancestor was so enraged that a mouthful of Essence Blood surged to his throat, almost spilling out. He pointed at Wang Xiaoqiang with trembling fingers, angrily shouting, "Kid, you're too arrogant! Believe it or not, I'll strangle you right here."
"Kill if you dare. Your reluctance to kill proves your cowardice," Wang Xiaoqiang sneered coldly.
The Blood Immortal Ancestor halted again, the blood rushing to his throat, but he forcefully suppressed it. "Kid, don't celebrate too early. If you have guts, endure the Guarding Decree for a hundred days; otherwise, you'll die a horrible death."
Unfazed, Wang Xiaoqiang smirked, "Rest assured, since I've taken the decree, I'll endure it for a hundred days and receive your Blood Immortal Legacy. At that point, you'll willingly grant it to , so why should I worship you as my master?"
With a sudden spurt, the Blood Immortal Ancestor couldn't hold back the Essence Blood in his throat anymore and sprayed it out again, the dignified Blood Immortal Ancestor enraged into another blood spat by Wang Xiaoqiang.
The other four ancestors, witnessing through the Immortal Mirror the scene of the Blood Immortal Ancestor spitting blood, laughed uproariously.
These five ancestors also had tensions among them, presenting a united facade while harboring hidden discord, all wishing one among them would suffer a major setback. Seeing the always arrogant Blood Immortal Ancestor infuriated by an obscure junior until he spit blood brought them great joy.
The female ancestor finished laughing and said, "Everyone take note, this Wang Xiaoqiang has courage and wit, boldness and strength, highly likely to endure the Guarding Decree for a hundred days. With the Blood Immortal Ancestor failing to recruit an apprentice, he will no doubt harm him again. We must remain vigilant to prevent a violation of the convention rules. Let's take turns monitoring Wang Xiaoqiang closely via the Immortal Mirror to prevent the Blood Immortal Ancestor from acting against him in secret..."
"Of course."
"Definitely."
"Haha, such a spectacle, I wouldn't miss out. Definitely keeping constant watch."
These ancestors agreed and scheduled a rotation to monitor the decree holder, ensuring tight surveillance.
anwhile, the Blood Immortal Ancestor, enraged by Wang Xiaoqiang, spat another mouthful of Essence Blood, his complexion paled slightly. Fortunately, he cultivated the Blood Burning Technique, his energy and blood thriving; otherwise, his cultivation base would have weakened considerably.
Though his cultivation base remained unchanged, his dignity took a massive hit, and he felt intense sha and anger. His five henchn beside him yelled in persuasion, "Ancestor, kill him."
"Kill him, ancestor!!"
The Blood Immortal Ancestor raised his hand towards his five henchn, "You all, get lost. Rember, as long as he holds the decree, you aren't allowed to touch him. You're also forbidden from scheming in secret; otherwise, I'll cleanse the household."
The five urged the Blood Immortal Ancestor to kill Wang Xiaoqiang, yet he warned them against harming Wang Xiaoqiang. Upon hearing this, their anger was such that they nearly spat blood themselves.
"Ancestor, this is too suffocating!" The leader among them yelled.
"Get out, all of you," the Blood Immortal Ancestor roared furiously at his five henchn.
Unmoved, they remained unwilling in their hearts. The leader spoke, "Ancestor, what if this kid is slain by soone else? When the Divine Arrow changes hands, whom shall we go to retrieve it? We won't leave; we will stick with this kid. Should the Kill Order change hands, even if he isn't killed, we'll slay him and help you seize the Divine Arrow."
What kind of person is the Blood Immortal Ancestor? Over hundreds of years, experienced in dealing with countless individuals, he saw Wang Xiaoqiang as an exceptional talent, likely to endure the Guarding Decree for a hundred days. However, there are always those better out there; maybe in these hundred days, soone even stronger and cunning might erge, vanquishing Wang Xiaoqiang in one blow.
At that ti, the Divine Arrow would change hands to this individual; thus, this henchman's words held so truth. To prevent such occurrences, he nodded, "Fine, you five stick with him, but rember, don't touch him, nor assist others in killing him... whoever disobeys my order, I'll cleanse the house."
"Yes," the five answered, eyes fixed on Wang Xiaoqiang, their gaze like wolves.
Wang Xiaoqiang chuckled coldly, turning toward Jiantong, "Haha, now we're not lonely anymore; wherever I go, I'll have so dogs following us..."
As he spoke, the five were infuriated, jumping up and cursing at Wang Xiaoqiang, "Damned boy, what did you say?"
Wang Xiaoqiang disregarded their words, holding Jiantong's slender waist as they soared into the air, tossing back another line, "I said those following are dogs... feel free to be dogs if you want, haha..."
The five clenched their teeth, stamping their feet in fury, unable to vent their anger, finally glancing at the Blood Immortal Ancestor.
The Blood Immortal Ancestor sternly instructed, "Follow them, rember only to follow, no action, disobeyers will be killed!!"
"Yes," the five bit their lips, looking utterly aggrieved, yet dared not defy the order, following suit in flight, tracking them fifty ters behind, keeping pace.
Wang Xiaoqiang turned to glance back, seeing them trailing, generating a sense of annoyance, he laughed aloud, "Haha, so refuse to live properly, insisting on being manipulated as dogs, truly disgraceful..."
The five gritted their teeth; the leader roared, "Kid, we follow to await your demise; once dead, your woman belongs to our brothers. Haha, the brothers then will rotate her..."
Jiantong turned pale with rage, grinding her teeth; Wang Xiaoqiang comforted her, stroking her hair, signaling not to anger, laughing aloud, "Haha, afraid you won't have the chance. I, Wang Xiaoqiang, possess an Immortal Body, but you remain unworthy dogs, loyal and foolish beyond asure..."
"Moreover, you're serving an utterly evil master, your ancestor, the Blood Immortal Ancestor, what kind of person is he? Do you not know? He mutated Hu Tianming into a Blood Demon, turning humans into demons, such conduct defies divine justice, is it worth serving such a master?"
The five behind heard these words, remaining silent. After a pause, the leader said, "Hu Tianming, indeed, it's him, the traitor... without his betrayal, you kid wouldn't have succeeded..."
Wang Xiaoqiang replied coldly, "What of a traitor? He betrays evil, revealing a heart of virtue. Honestly, Hu Tianming is wiser than you, for he awoke, while you remain obstinate... forever serving as dogs, even I think you're unworthy..."
His words struck a chord; the response ceased utterly, seemingly hitting a nerve, silencing all five.
Yet they had no intention to retreat, like thorns embedded tightly behind, causing imnse irritation for the two.
Night descends.
Wang Xiaoqiang and Jiantong rest in a grove within a mountain hollow. From within this hollow, the cries of Wild Beasts reverberated, rising and falling, faint, but quite terrifying when heard.
The five behind also landed in the hollow, seated outside the grove. Their actions mirrored one another; Wang Xiaoqiang traveled, they trailed; he fought enemies, they watched; he rested, they guarded.
"Little Qiang, these dogs are annoying, and their presence will interfere with your cultivation," Jiantong pouted, furrowing her brow.
"Don't worry, I have a way to get rid of them." Wang Xiaoqiang confidently replied. Speaking, he sent forth a puppet to hunt, preparing for a forest barbecue.
