Chapter 1008: Chapter 650: Dao Ye is the Dragon Tiger Arhat (8K4, still owing 8K6)_3

She gazed at the few people in the sky, smiled shallowly, and said, "You’ve met our father, so you refuse to even greet him? Or are you worried that he’s not faring well with me in the Immortal Court?"

On hearing this, Zi Yang trembled violently, his scales emitting a sharp frictional sound.

He stared fixedly at the gourd in the woman’s hand, his eyes again falling into madness.

"Father, tell him how well you’re doing, will you?"

Zi Ling suddenly clutch the gourd, and a piercing scream immediately emanated from it: "Aaah—"

"I’ll kill you!"

Zi Yang shook off the people from his body, and with no technique or trick, furiously slammed into the mountain wall.

This former East Hong Crown Prince had transformed into a mindless wild beast, driven solely by raw emotion.

"..."

Zi Ling stood peacefully in her original spot, watching the colossal figure charging towards her. Suddenly, she revealed a sweet smile.

With a casual flick of her sleeve, as if toying with a dog using a bone, mighty immortal power fell upon Zi Yang. It forced him back into his human form, and he thunderously landed at her feet.

"I’ll kill—"

Zi Yang violently tried to lift his head, but a delicate bare foot was already pressing on the back of his skull, brutally smashing his face into the cliff wall.

"Tell me, who allowed you lot to come out?"

Zi Ling slowly crouched down, the smile fading from her face, leaving behind only limitless coldness.

She glanced indifferently at this older brother and then turned her gaze to several people in the distance, finally resting on the Puppet. She expressed in confusion, "Why come out at all? Wasn’t it nice staying in that filthy sewer forever?"

"Xuan Qing, I spared your life."

"Why don’t you..." Zi Ling clenched her teeth: "show any gratitude? When will you ever grow up a bit and understand the principles of being human?"

"Gratitude."

Xuan Qing stood quietly, mulling over the word. Then, lowering his gaze to his withered body, memories of his master’s gruesome death and the sealed-for-ten-thousand-years, deserted Nanyang Inner Sect echoed in his mind.

After a long while, he gave a self-mocking chuckle: "Thank you."

Thank you for utterly shattering my last shred of dignity, helping me realize I had always been nothing more than a foolish pig.

On hearing this, Zi Ling seemed unexpectedly taken aback by this former dao companion’s response.

For the first time, a genuine smile appeared on her face: "You’ve matured a lot since before."

"Given that you’re aware of gratitude, shouldn’t you also know how to repay a kindness?"

"You know, you’ve always been harming me, and my journey to get here has truly been tough... so very exhausting..."

"Won’t you help me once more, by dying for me?"

The soft words wafted through the mountain, like whispers shared between lovers.

Yet, they caused Zi Xian to shudder; she stared blankly at her sister, suddenly feeling drained of all strength.

The East Dragon Palace, known for its benevolence, how could it have produced such a vile spawn?

And what was most despairing was the terrifying aura exuded by this vile creature when she acted just moments ago. It was a Boundary of might that the Hongze people had never experienced before, far surpassing Shi Ren in power by countless measures.

It left no hope for escape whatsoever.

As her words ceased, a surge of immortal power subtly fell upon several individuals.

In an instant, everyone fully understood; being born of the same Hongze, they were no longer existences on the same level as this woman.

Even her mere willingness to speak these words was an act of grace.

"You vile creatures with your malicious hearts that cannot bear to see others succeed, how could I possibly stand by and watch you leave that filthy sewer and wreak havoc upon the world."

Zi Ling extended her delicate fingers and then slowly clenched them.

The next moment, she froze, her fingers quivering slightly, yet unable to close completely.

Sensing something amiss, she looked up.

High in the Azure Sky, a woman of a beauty not inferior to her own stood with hands hanging by her side and clad in a simple white robe, her demeanor indifferent.

It was none other than the disciple of the Daluo Immortal Venerable that had previously shown no deference to her on He Mountain.

"Elder Ye Lan, do you have any advice?" Zi Ling dropped the cold façade, standing obediently in her place.

Yet Ye Lan barely spared her another glance, succinctly stating, "I’ll take these people."

"Zi Ling was acting under orders from Mighty General Qingluan in the Mortal Realm, and you..." Zi Ling’s smile stiffened a little.

But before she could finish, she was interrupted by an even more indifferent voice.

"I said, I’ll take them."

Ye Lan casually waved her hand, and as Zi Ling staggered back several steps, Zi Yang lightly drifted back to Xuan Qing’s side.

She lowered her gaze: "Any objections?"

Faced with such an impolite interrogation, Zi Ling slowly clenched her fists, lowered her head, and softly said, "If you have spoken, naturally there’s no problem."

She had plenty of time in the Mortal Realm, with comrades to assist her.

This so-called Elder Ye Lan might protect them momentarily, but not for a lifetime.

No need for a confrontation.

"Let’s go."

Ye Lan turned and fled towards the distance.

She had other pressing matters and had also heard of this Dragon Maiden’s infamous reputation. Today was solely about rescue; she had no desire to complicate matters further.

One does not contend with immortals, a lesson countless cultivators had learned through life and death.

"..."

Zi Yang’s breathing was erratic, his eyes fixated only on the gourd.

But he soon withdrew his gaze, leaning on Xuan Qing as they followed Elder Ye Lan.

In this world, how many cultivators act boldly out of a sense of justice? This senior’s intervention was obviously at someone else’s behest.
