Shocking World War Emperor
Chapter 252: Ungrateful

Chapter 252: Chapter 252: Ungrateful

"Bang!"

Ling Chen unleashed a burst of Spiritual Power, shattering the severed finger, then grabbed the storage ring in his hand.

"This is a lesson for you!"

Ling Chen smirked, "If there’s a next time, I wouldn’t mind sending you on your way."

As the descendants of the Eight Great Families, Ling Chen dared not be too ruthless, but when it came to people from other forces, he was absolutely fearless.

Having said that, under the astonished gaze of the onlookers, Ling Chen returned to Zi Lingyang’s side.

Only then did the Green Robed Man manage to stand up, his body trembling from the pain and humiliation of the lost finger, his face twisted with a grim expression and his eyes filled with spite.

Only when stepped upon by Ling Chen in the mud did he realize his strength was no match for Ling Chen’s.

"Young Master Jiang, you must make this right for me!"

The Green Robed Man looked to Jiang Wusheng.

After all, it was Jiang Wusheng who had invited him, and Ling Chen breaking his finger and stealing his storage ring was not just a humiliation to him but also a disdain towards Jiang Wusheng.

The prestigious prodigies of the Eight Great Families absolutely could not tolerate this!

Indeed, when Jiang Wusheng heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly as he looked towards Ling Chen.

"Cut off an arm yourself, hand over the storage ring, and I shall spare your dog life!"

Jiang Wusheng said coldly.

That imperious tone of command was like that of an emperor.

Ling Chen injuring his man was a slap to his own face, a slap to the face of the Jiang Family!

Ling Chen’s expression turned icy as he fearlessly retorted, "Who do you think you are, barking orders at me?"

"Brat, are you courting death?"

Jiang Wusheng spoke again.

His voice was filled with an icy killing intent.

This was the first time someone had dared to talk to him like this!

Zi Lingyang’s complexion changed immediately.

If Jiang Wusheng were to make a move, he wouldn’t be able to stop him!

"Both of you, please calm your anger!"

At that moment, Zhou Tiantang, with a quick turn of his eyes, stepped between the two, playing the mediator.

Ling Chen was at the pinnacle of the ninth layer of the Spirit Sea Realm and had defeated a cultivator with the Super Spiritual Body of the second layer of the Primordial Pill Realm so effortlessly; clearly, he was also a rare talent!

The consistent principle of the Zhou Tian Trading Company was to make friends from all around.

Including this opportunity, this was exactly their goal.

Perhaps others feared the Jiang Family, but the Zhou Tian Trading Company did not.

In the Royal Capital, the Zhou Tian Trading had another name—the Ninth Family.

Fully capable of standing side by side with the other Eight Great Families!

And he was the young chairman of the Zhou Tian Trading Company.

Jiang Wusheng was nothing more than a talented descendant of a great family, not even the Jiang Family Heir, so what was there to fear?

"Everyone here is a prodigy participating in the Eight Palaces Tournament. Don’t let such a trifle hurt our good relations."

Zhou Tiantang said with a smile.

Hearing this, the Green Robed Man’s face turned green with anger. He had been pressed into the mud, had one of his fingers broken, and his storage ring stolen, but to this fat man, it was all just a ’little incident’?

"Young Master Zhou, I am also a participant in the Eight Palaces Tournament!"

The Green Robed Man said coldly.

But Zhou Tiantang acted as if he had heard nothing, continuing to look towards Jiang Wusheng, saying, "Young Master Jiang, would you give me some face and let this go?"

"Young Master Zhou, are you really going to stand up for this person?"

Jiang Wusheng’s eyes flashed with a serious look.

Zhou Tiantang was the organizer of this gathering, not to mention the young chairman of the Zhou Tian Trading Company. Now that he had spoken thus, even if the Jiang Family Heir was present, he would probably have to give face, much less so when he was merely a talented progeny?

Hearing that Jiang Wusheng seemed to be intent on keeping the peace, the Green Robed Man lifted his right hand, placing it in front of the former, and hastily said, "Senior Jiang!"

"Shut up!"

Jiang Wusheng reprimanded sharply.

A black gas burst forth from his body.

"Ah!"

The Green Robed Man cried out in alarm, quickly retreating.

Black gas, none other than the distinctive Death Energy of a Death Spirit Body!

"Indeed!"

Zhou Tiantang nodded.

With a meaning-laden glance at Ling Chen, Qin Shi stepped forward and said, "Young Master Jiang, it’s better to listen to Young Master Zhou."

"Senior Qin!"

Gratitude appeared on Zi Lingyang’s face.

Qin Shi, like him, also came from the Xuantian Academy.

Seeing both Qin Shi and Zhou Tiantang taking Ling Chen’s side, shock filled the eyes of the others as they sized up Ling Chen from time to time.

From Ling Chen’s performance, he could at most be considered odd.

After all, with the skills of Qin Shi and Zhou Tiantang, the abilities that Ling Chen had shown would not be taken seriously.

"Alright, since both gentlemen have spoken, we shall set this matter aside for now."

Jiang Wusheng spoke up.

"Good, thank you, Young Master Jiang."

Zhou Tiantang started to smile.

Then he looked towards Ling Chen: "Young Master Ling, it’s all good now."

"Hm, thank you, Young Master Zhou, and Young Master Qin!"

Ling Chen nodded with a smile.

"No need to be polite; you are our guest, so of course, we must ensure your complete safety!"

Zhou Tiantang said with a laugh.

Meanwhile, the green-robed man nearby was burning with indignation.

Ling Chen was a guest, but wasn’t he a guest as well?

But even Senior Jiang Wusheng was no longer standing up for him, how could he dare to challenge the two Young Masters Zhou and Qin?

The only thing that gave him a bit of comfort was that Jiang Wusheng had only chosen to keep the peace temporarily.

"Jiang Wusheng, and whoever else, you’re all from the Taiwu Academy, right? I’ve noted it!"

Just then, Ling Chen suddenly spoke.

At these words, everyone was once again dumbfounded.

Jiang Wusheng had chosen to calm the situation, yet Ling Chen was actually making threats against the Taiwu Academy?

Even Zhou Tiantang and Qin Shi couldn’t help but frown.

This Ling Chen, doesn’t he recognize a good turn when he sees one?

They had kindly intervened, but instead of being grateful, Ling Chen had returned their favor with this!

"Correct!"

Jiang Wusheng nodded coldly: "You’re from the True Martial Academy, right? No problem, we’ll see you at the Eight Palaces martial contest! I hope you can still be so tough then!"

"Good!"

Ling Chen nodded.

And so, what was supposed to be a pleasant gathering seemed to have become a prelude to a confrontation between Taiwu Academy and True Martial Academy!

As the conflict ended, the gathering couldn’t go on either.

Thus, everyone started to take their leave.

Zhou Tiantang had intended to befriend Ling Chen, but seeing how recklessly he acted, ruining the gathering he had worked hard to organize, Zhou Tiantang was displeased and naturally did not wish to talk more with Ling Chen.

Qin Shi felt almost the same as Zhou Tiantang.

On the way back, Zi Lingyang said, "Young Master Ling, you were too impulsive! While Jiang Wusheng is arrogant, he also has the might to back it up. His cultivation as a third-layer Mid-Primordial Pill Realm, enhanced by his Death Spirit Body, is formidable enough to even challenge a fifth-layer cultivator in the Primordial Pill Realm."

"I know you’ve cultivated a medium-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique, but Jiang Wusheng’s talent in spirit arts might not be inferior to yours. Plus, with such a huge gap between your cultivation levels, provoking him is really unwise!"

Ling Chen said with a faint smile, "Young Master Zi, I appreciate your concern, but rest assured, I know what I’m doing."

What’s a fifth-layer cultivator to him?

Hadn’t he experienced defeating such cultivators before?

The deceased Deputy Palace Master of the Xiongwu Academy was a case in point!

If Jiang Wusheng actually meant to kill, he would certainly not consider the Eight Great Families’ status!

He is the Dark Night Son!

Dark Night is a force daring to confront the Royal Family!

A mere family is far from being enough to instill fear in him from the Dark Night!
