Chapter 629: Humiliation and Threat



“Brother Luo Ya, it’s not that we’re afraid, but that the demon god youngster is rumored to be too terrifying. He is almost like a killing god, so we don’t dare to underestimate such a person,” someone said aloud, trying to ease the atmosphere.

Another person piped up, “That’s right, anyone well-informed in the Southern Sea will have heard the news about the demon god youngster. He has defeated even a peerless saint such as Niu Tuntian. Who would dare disregard such a fierce person?”

“It’s not just Niu Tuntian, even Meng Lianqing, Kong Xiu, and Xuan Luozi were suppressed by him despite joining forces. The demon god youngster is extremely ruthless and strong!” someone else added.

Qing Yunyang had calmed down a little, but when he heard that everyone was scared of Lin Xun, his gaze turned a little strange.

If you knew that the demon god youngster is here, I bet you would be terror-stricken...”

He cast a sidelong glance at Lin Xun, only to see him still sipping wine, seemingly relaxed and indifferent to everything that was happening.

What a monster!

“You guys are right. Everyone knows about the demon god youngsters’ achievements and feats so I won’t underestimate him,” Luo Ya spoke calmly. “But, no matter how powerful he is, he is still a teenager of the human race. The Southern Sea is our territory. How can we allow him to run wildly.” He raised his voice as he reached the end of the sentence, sounding righteous and imposing.

Someone couldn’t help but ask, “Fellow Cultivator Luo Ya, did you set up this gathering just to discuss how to deal with that demon god youngster?”

Everyone’s expressions altered.

“That’s correct.” Luo Ya didn’t attempt to deny it. “According to the deduction of a master in my Black Phoenix Clan, the demon god youngster hasn’t left the Southern Sea territory yet. This is the best time to deal with him!”

Although his words were encouraging and resounding, the young geniuses of various clans didn’t seem to agree.

On the contrary, their expressions dramatically changed. Do we really have to deal with the demon god youngster?

We…

Everyone hesitated.

He’s the demon god youngster! He has slaughtered many experts from multitudes of clans! He is invincible! How can we deal with him? What’s the difference between dealing with him and finding death?

The demon god youngster managed to escape unscathed under the watchful eyes of many influential figures of various clans outside the Return Dominion!

Are you joking; do you really want us to deal with him!?

“Brother Luo Ya, that doesn’t seem like a good idea.” Someone frowned.

Luo Ya smiled slightly. “Everyone, you misunderstood.”

He appeared very confident despite everyone’s questioning gazes. “We may be no match for the demon god youngster, but don’t forget that there the big shots of every clan are behind us!”

“But, we have no grudges with the demon god youngster, why should we deal with him?” someone snorted coldly.

Many people echoed his words.

“You guys are wrong!”

Luo Ya drew a deep breath and said, “According to the intel, the demon god youngster had the greatest harvest in the Deva Secret Realm, and he has amazing treasures on him!” There was a crazed desire glinting in his eyes. “Everyone, he even has a treasure related to the saint path on him! Also, he has slaughtered so many saints and experts and looted many remarkable items. If we can capture him…”

Everyone quivered inwardly before he finished. Their eyes flickered indefinitely.

They finally understood Luo Ya’s motive. He wanted to seize the treasures on the demon god youngster!

Money could shake a person’s mind, let alone a treasure related to the Saint Path. Many people were immediately tempted.

Naturally, Luo Ya noticed these changes, so he grew even more confident. “In other words, the demon god youngster is a moving treasure. Our harvest will be beyond imagination if we can capture him!”

After a pause, he continued, “Also, for this operation, we only need to search for traces of the demon god youngster. The higher-ups of every clan will take action when necessary.”

“I think it will work!” someone agreed.

“That’s right, the Southern Sea is our territory! We will look incredibly incompetent if we allow him to escape.”

The other cultivators also agreed since they didn’t need to take action themselves.

“If I leak the news…” A thought struck Qing Yunyang, and he couldn’t help but glance at Lin Xun.

However, Lin Xun was staring right at him. His eyes seemed calm and peaceful, but were full of an indifferent coldness.

Qing Yunyang couldn’t help but shudder.

What a cold pair of eyes! It feels as though the god of killing is condescendingly looking over the world, treating everyone as insignificant ants. A murderous dictator might have fear, but would a god of killing care if he trampled an ant to death?

Immediately, Qing Yunyang curbed his thoughts, feeling a chill down his back.

He finally calmed down completely when he remembered that although Lin Xun possessed great treasures, he was sworn brothers with the patriarch of the Azure Turtle Clan. Even if everyone else wanted to kill Lin Xun, he mustn’t do so!

“Don’t overthink, I am different from them,” Qing Yunyang explained in a whisper.

“I am worried that you are the one overthinking.”

Lin Xun smiled faintly and then looked away.

“Qing Yunyang! You have kept so quiet. Could it be that you have some opinion about Brother Luo Ya’s proposal?” someone suddenly yelled. It was the purple-haired man beside him.

Lin Xun raised his eyebrows. The purple-haired man had already scolded Qing Yunyang when they arrived at the gathering.

But he seemed to want to stir trouble for Qing Yunyang again.

“I…” Qing Yunyang’s expression suddenly changed as he noticed that many gazes in the hall were shifting in his direction. In particular, Luo Ya’s brows were deeply furrowed and his eyes were full of coldness.

Qing Yunyang froze and panicked, but just as he was about to explain, the purple-haired man interrupted him, “What, can you not speak? How can someone like you become the saint of the Azure Turtle Clan? It seems that your Azure Turtle Clan has declined.”

The man then laughed, and the other cultivators also couldn’t help laughing. They looked as though they were watching a show, their eyes were full of excitement and mocking.

“It seems that Qing Yunyang’s position and status within this group of people isn’t that good...” Lin Xun remarked to himself.

Bang!

Qing Yunyang snapped. He slammed the table and glowered at the purple-haired man. “Wei Cang, you have gone too far!” His face reddened with rage.

“Hmph! Did you say I went too far?”

The purple-haired young man called Wei Cang swept a disdainful glance over Qing Yunyang, “I forgot to tell you that Brother Lan Tianqi will come soon. You must not leave early!"

Lan Tianqi!

The mention of the name visibly changed the atmosphere in the hall. Everyone fell utterly silent, and their faces were tinged with surprise and fear.

Even Luo Ya, who was sitting on the main seat, seemed a little surprised.

On the contrary, Lin Xun couldn’t help but feel curious. The young men and women here are all young leading figures of various clans, but they seemed fearful and respectful of Lan Tianqi. He must be a fierce character.

He turned to Qing Yunyang, only to see that his countenance didn’t look too good. He was gritting his teeth, but it wasn’t obvious whether it was out of anger or fear.

“Hahaha, look, that guy is scared! Is there no one in the Azure Turtle Clan? How can someone like him be a saint!” Wei Cang burst into laughter, making no attempt to disguise his ridicule.

Although many cultivators were present, none of them stood up for Qing Yunyang or stopped the mocking. On the contrary, they all crossed their arms and watched with excitement.

Lin Xun was more and more convinced that Qing Yunyang was very unpopular in his social circle. Otherwise, how would he be blatantly ridiculed?

“The matters of my Azure Turtle Clan have nothing to do with you all!” Qing Yunyang was livid, and his eyes almost popped out.

However, he surprisingly suppressed his emotions in the end and turned to Lin Xun. “We are not welcome here, let’s go.”

As he was speaking, he sent a voice message to Lin Xun. “You must not meddle in my business otherwise it will expose your identity. If that happens, even the patriarch won’t be able to save you!”

His words took Lin Xun aback. He never imagined that Qing Yunyang would be so tolerant, but also considered his situation.

“Do you want to leave? It won’t be that easy!” Wei Cang’s face darkened.

“If you dare to leave now, I will subdue you now and force you to kneel. When Lan Tianqi comes, I will let him deal with you!” His words were humiliating and full of threats.

Qing Yunyang’s face alternated between anger and shock. His body stiffened, and the veins on his forehead popped.

He was the saint of the Azure Turtle Clan, but he was being mocked and threatened in front of everyone. That was the greatest humiliation! If word got out, he would be so ashamed that he would have to bury his head.

“Wei Cang, you’ve gone too far!” Qing Yunyang’s eyes were as red as a berserk beast and his voice had become hoarse.

“So what if I bully you? Don’t expect the patriarch of your Azure Turtle Clan to save you. This is a matter among the younger generation. Even if your clan knows about it, they likely can’t let go of their dignity to save you.”

Wei Cang sneered, “Perhaps after I subdue you, your patriarch will know that you are too useless and remove you as the saint of the clan!”

He was correct in that the higher-ups usually turned a blind eye to the grudges and affairs among the younger generation in the Southern Sea. That was to temper the future generations.

If Qing Yunyang was brutally subdued and humiliated in public, it wouldn’t only be humiliating and embarrassing for him but he might also lose his status as a saint.

Qing Yunyang froze to the spot, his expression morphing indefinitely.

What kind of deep grudge could there be between them for Wei Cang to embarrass Qing Yunyang to such an extent? He has gone too far. Lin Xun pondered.
