Chapter 399: Chapter 75: Earthen Chickens and Clay Dogs!
"Xiao Lie, what’s going on?"
Liu Yifeng intentionally pointed out Luo Cheng’s identity, originally intending to use this opportunity to humiliate him, but he hadn’t expected such a commotion.
The defiant young man was indeed Xiao Lie.
Calming himself, he glanced at Luo Cheng and sneered, "Nothing much, I must have mistaken you for someone else!"
That Luo Cheng, the one hunted by a Middle Stage Awakening Vein Realm expert, was surely doomed. How could he have survived?
It must be a case of the same name!
Thinking of this, Xiao Lie addressed Luo Cheng:
"I didn’t expect Xuanyuan Sect to have so many people named Luo Cheng. However, the name isn’t really auspicious—it only brings trouble. You should consider changing it."
Luo Cheng responded faintly, "Meeting me for the first time and asking me to change my name? Are all Fierce Cloud Sect disciples this rude?"
Xiao Lie’s brow furrowed deeply, "I’m only thinking of your well-being."
"Not necessary."
Luo Cheng shook his head and continued, "Besides, you didn’t mistake me for someone else."
"Not mistaken?"
Xiao Lie’s pupils contracted violently, "You’re Xuanyuan Sect’s Outer Disciple Luo Cheng!"
"My name remains unchanged no matter where I go."
"You’re still alive! How did you escape the Blood Eagle’s pursuit?" Xiao Lie’s eye twitched, his expression growing dark.
Meanwhile, two other Inner Sect disciples from Fierce Cloud Sect stepped forward, flanking Luo Cheng on either side, their gazes intense and predatory.
The commotion here started drawing attention, and many eyes turned toward them.
"Xuanyuan Sect’s Outer Disciple Luo Cheng? Is he famous?"
Among those present were talented individuals from various sects, many from other dynasties, who hadn’t heard of Luo Cheng before.
Of course, even if they’d heard of him, they wouldn’t care.
"He’s the guy who won first place at this year’s Three Sects Martial Arts Competition of the Great Yue Dynasty! He awakened a Wasted Martial Soul and defeated Bai Hua Jingyang. It’s said he was pursued by a Fourth Layer Awakening Vein Realm expert; everyone thought he was dead. Who would’ve thought he’s still alive..." one informed individual explained.
Escaping unharmed from the chase of a Fourth Layer Awakening Vein Realm expert!
The crowd’s expressions shifted in astonishment; some found it hard to believe.
Liu Yifeng’s eyes sparkled with interest, though his face remained composed while inwardly sneering.
He hadn’t expected Luo Cheng to be this year’s champion of the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition.
But this was good news!
Xiao Lie, a Second Layer Awakening Vein Realm expert with a violent and unpredictable temperament, would certainly punish Luo Cheng. Luo Cheng wouldn’t escape unscathed.
Under the watchful gazes of the crowd, Luo Cheng remained unfazed, scanning Xiao Lie and his companions before casually finding an empty seat to sit down.
Xiao Lie’s face darkened as Luo Cheng treated him as if he didn’t exist.
The tall Fierce Cloud Sect disciple beside him couldn’t hold back, stepping forward and angrily shouting:
"Senior Brother Xiao is talking to you! Are you deaf?"
Luo Cheng looked at him indifferently, "Scram."
"You’re asking to die!"
The tall youth erupted with fury; blazing energy radiated off him. The overwhelming aura of a First Layer Awakening Vein Realm Peak expert surged toward Luo Cheng like a crushing tide.
"Miss..."
A Mu pulled nervously at Luo Yao.
Luo Yao watched with amusement, smiling charmingly, "Relax, nothing will happen. Aren’t you curious about Luo Cheng’s strength too?"
"Stop!"
Two Xuanyuan Sect Inner Sect disciples stepped forward at this point.
Both of them were from the Crown Prince Hall and didn’t hold much fondness for Luo Cheng.
But, no matter how much they disliked him, he was still a disciple of Xuanyuan Sect.
If he were openly humiliated by Fierce Cloud Sect disciples, and they stood by idly, the only ones who’d lose face would be them.
"Hmph, Xu Yuntao, you want to interfere?"
Xiao Lie turned to a lean Xuanyuan Sect disciple, his gaze icy.
Xu Yuntao, being at the Middle Stage of Second Layer Awakening Vein Realm—slightly weaker than Xiao Lie—didn’t want a direct conflict and said solemnly:
"Xiao Lie, we’ve all been invited by the Eldest Prince for the banquet today. As guests, being overly aggressive like this doesn’t seem appropriate, does it?"
"Guests?"
Xiao Lie sneered, "Today, the Eldest Prince invited Li Shaofeng. Everyone here is an accomplished young talent from the various sects, at least of Awakening Vein Realm cultivation. That Outer Disciple from Xuanyuan Sect—what right does he have to sit with us?"
As he spoke, Xiao Lie cast a scornful sidelong glance at Luo Cheng, his mockery blatant.
The tall Fierce Cloud Sect disciple added:
"Haha, so this is the so-called Chief Disciple of the Outer Sect? I’ve long heard rumors that Xuanyuan Sect disciples are fond of taking advantage of situations, and indeed, the reputation understates reality!"
"You!"
The two Xuanyuan Sect Inner Sect disciples felt humiliated, though they couldn’t refute it, leaving them simmering in frustration.
As anger boiled within them, they couldn’t help but blame Luo Cheng.
If he lacked strength, why come here and stir trouble? Completely oblivious to his own limitations!
Now they were being dragged into his humiliation!
The rest of the crowd quietly sipped their tea.
Every genius had their pride, and Xiao Lie’s calculated remarks, praising some while belittling others, actually resonated with them. After all, they also believed that merely being an Outer Sect disciple of Xuanyuan Sect didn’t qualify Luo Cheng to be on equal footing with them.
Besides, wasn’t this whole ordeal quite entertaining to watch?
Liu Yifeng, meanwhile, bore a look of schadenfreude.
Xiao Lie’s words perfectly expressed his sentiments; he eagerly wanted to see how Luo Cheng would handle this situation!
Casually sipping his tea, Luo Cheng glanced at Xiao Lie and his companions.
"Pathetic creatures."
At those words, the entire crowd froze in shock.
Three Fierce Cloud Sect disciples, all Awakening Vein Realm cultivators, with Xiao Lie being a Second Layer Awakening Vein Late Stage expert.
Yet an Outer Sect disciple from Xuanyuan Sect had just called them "pathetic creatures!"
Even as the champion of the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition, wasn’t this a bit too arrogant?
"Courting death!"
Xiao Lie roared in fury and was about to strike.
Just then, the sound of footsteps echoed, and an invisible force swept through the garden.
The Eldest Prince, Jin Tiandu, approached. His tall, elegant frame carried an innate air of nobility, dignified yet carefree. Every step seemed to possess an inexplicable charisma, syncing with the rhythm of everyone’s heartbeat and commanding attention.
"Luo Cheng and Miss Luo Yao are my honored guests. I apologize for forgetting to inform all of you earlier, which led to this misunderstanding. This oversight is mine to bear, and I’ll punish myself with a drink!"
Jin Tiandu strode confidently to Luo Cheng’s table, poured himself a glass of wine, and downed it in one motion before smiling warmly.
"Thank you all for attending this banquet. The intention here is for us to exchange ideas, build rapport, and share cultivation experiences. I’ve prepared delicacies and performances for your enjoyment. Please take your seats."
As Jin Tiandu finished speaking, a group of graceful maidens entered, carrying jade plates with delicacies and refreshments.
The garden became suffused with fragrant aromas, instantly drawing everyone’s attention elsewhere.
Hmph!
Xiao Lie hadn’t expected Jin Tiandu to personally step in to mediate for Luo Cheng, leaving him no choice but to relent out of respect for Jin Tiandu. Casting a venomous glare at Luo Cheng, he suppressed his seething anger and returned to his seat.
"Senior Brother Xiao, this Luo Cheng is truly insolent, refusing even to acknowledge you! He even dared to call us ’pathetic creatures!’ We must teach him a lesson!"
The tall youth stared at Luo Cheng with disdain, spitting on the ground in fury, as though itching to tear him apart.
Xiao Lie fixated his cold gaze on Luo Cheng and let out a chilling chuckle.
"Defeating Bai Hua Jingyang has clearly made him forget his limitations. No matter—let him bask in his arrogance for now. Soon enough, he’ll face utter disgrace!"
