Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable

"This isn’t about admitting defeat. It’s about you paying the price. Anyone who interferes in the affairs of my War Dragon Academy will face certain death! Outside the Academy, you can cause whatever trouble you want, and we will never get involved."

Feng Cailuo’s meaning was obvious.

These words finally allowed the Heaven and Earth Elders to breathe a sigh of relief, giving them a chance to back down gracefully.

At once, Elder Tian of the Heaven and Earth Elders took out two elixirs. After giving one to Elder Di, they both immediately took them.

Their injuries immediately began to heal.

Only then did Elder Tian give a slight bow and say, "Fairy Feng Cailuo, for this matter, we apologize. But if the person involved doesn’t require our apology, does that mean we no longer need to?"

Elder Di’s eyes were also filled with anticipation.

Feng Cailuo glanced indifferently at Ye Tianling and said, "Correct. If Ye Tianling doesn’t require your apology, then you don’t need to apologize."

Feng Cailuo had very directly passed the problem on to Ye Tianling.

"Ye Tianling, you want the two of us, Sword Ancestors of the Six Paths Realm, to perform the three kneelings and nine kowtows as an apology to you? Are you certain? Given our relationship, if you know what’s good for you—"

Ye Tianling cut him off before he could finish.

"Have you gone senile, you old fart? The two of you picked on someone weaker and got caught red-handed trying to assassinate me. You’re just bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong. You couldn’t beat Elder Feng Cailuo, so now you’re trying to throw your weight around in front of me, Ye Tianling? As if, if I *didn’t* make you kneel and apologize, you’d start calling me your father and grandfather and worshiping me!"

Ye Tianling’s tone was extremely contemptuous and mocking.

His words immediately caused an uproar.

Such an arrogant, domineering tone immediately caused a commotion.

"Has this Ye Tianling gone mad? To talk to a Sword Ancestor like that!"

"The dignity of a Daoist Ancestor cannot be violated! Even if his own strength is impressive, he can’t possibly contend with a Sword Ancestor of the Six Paths Realm, can he? He’s too arrogant!"

"They say don’t hit a man in the face or expose his sore spots when you curse him, but Ye Tianling just goes straight for the jugular!"

"Is there something wrong with this guy? Doesn’t he know how to compromise and use this chance to get on good terms with the Dao Transformation Ancestral Land?"

"They were already trying to assassinate him. How is he supposed to get on good terms with them?"

"At least on the surface, he shouldn’t make a mortal enemy of them!"

"This Ye Tianling is certainly Unrestrained and Indulgent, but he’s far too arrogant! A person like that won’t get far on the path of cultivation."

"Such youthful arrogance!"

"Youthful arrogance? He’s just got a screw loose, doesn’t he? He’s not a complete idiot, so why would he talk like that? Doesn’t he know how to read the situation?"

...

At this point, many cultivators had started discussing amongst themselves.

Many people were shocked that Ye Tianling would mock the Heaven and Earth Elders so brazenly.

In their eyes, Ye Tianling’s behavior was no different from that of a reckless hothead.

"You—"

The Heaven and Earth Elders were so furious they nearly exploded, on the verge of unleashing their Ancestor Dao’s might to blast Ye Tianling to death on the spot.

But they could only hold back, because if they dared to make a move now, they would surely be slaughtered.

Feng Cailuo had always been incomparably cold and ruthless, ferocious and unstoppable.

Originally, the Heaven and Earth Elders had thought that even if their strength couldn’t match Feng Cailuo’s battle power, the gap wouldn’t be that large.

But with that single earlier strike, Feng Cailuo had taught them a harsh lesson.

Not to mention, the Fu Yi next to Feng Cailuo, as the Guardian of the Space-Time Flying Ship, also possessed astonishingly immense battle power.

And then there was Feng Caiyi, also beside Feng Cailuo. Her realm was not far from the Heaven and Earth Elders’, but her battle power was enough to contend with both of them without being at a disadvantage.

"’You’? What ’you’? Kneel for your grandpa, you two old dogs! Time for the three kneelings and nine kowtows!"

Ye Tianling stood with his hands behind his back, his tone icy and his gaze indifferent, without a shred of hesitation.

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell into a dead silence.

The Heaven and Earth Elders trembled with rage.

"Stop trembling. Don’t think you can escape the apology of three kneelings and nine kowtows just by dying of anger!"

Ye Tianling said grimly.

"Ye Tianling, that’s enough!"

Just then, Su Wanhe and Su Mufan, who were not far away, shouted angrily at almost the same time.

"Shut up! What right do two pieces of trash like you have to speak here? Or are you questioning Elder Feng Cailuo’s decision?!"

Ye Tianling shot them a cold glance, his tone chilling.

His words ignited the pair’s fury and killing intent, and they could barely stop themselves from attacking.

"Want to fight? You’re welcome to a life-and-death battle with me. If I, Ye Tianling, get killed, I’ll have deserved it. Both of you can come at me together!"

Ye Tianling’s words once again caused an uproar.

Su Mufan was about to accept immediately, but Su Wanhe held him back.

At that moment, a chill went through Su Mufan’s heart, and he immediately came to his senses.

’We have more important things to do. This Ye Tianling... he’ll die sooner or later!’

"Ye Tianling, you’d better think this through. We, the Heaven and Earth Elders, are Unparalleled Daoist Ancestors of the Sword Ancestor Six Paths Realm. Now think about your own situation. It’s best not to take things too far!"

The voice of Elder Tian, one of the Heaven and Earth Elders, grew even more sinister, laced with a deep threat.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I’m so scared!"

Ye Tianling said mockingly. Then, he added, "My position is perfectly clear. Kneel, perform the three kneelings and nine kowtows, and apologize. That will not change! I intend to take this all the way. What are you going to do, bite me?"

Ye Tianling’s tone was very cold, but also very firm.

He had never planned to leave any room for compromise!

Because his enemies had left no room for it either.

’If Feng Caiyi hadn’t intercepted their assassination attempt earlier, given my strength at the time, I doubt even the Defense Power of my Tianshu Myriad Paths Imperial Qilin Armor would have been enough to block an attack from a Sword Ancestor Six Paths Realm expert.’

’And this time, even if I were to back down, what difference would it make? My opponents clearly don’t give a damn about a mere Void Realm Ninth Transformation Cultivator. They would still treat me like an ant to be killed or crushed whenever they pleased.’

Besides, Ye Tianling had never been one to back down. He knew deep down that to seek survival through compromise was to be alive in name only.

"Good. Good. Good!"

The voices of the Heaven and Earth Elders were extremely hoarse and grating. Their faces were dangerously grim, and the venom in their eyes was boundless.

"Of course it’s good. Not just good, it’s fantastic. Now get on your knees and apologize, you two old dogs. Three kneelings and nine kowtows. I won’t accept one less."

Ye Tianling let out a sinister chuckle.

’Afraid?’

Ye Tianling had never known the meaning of fear!

’And once I break through this time and step into the Sword Tribulation Realm, combining it with my own transformation, the Power of Demon God, and the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword... I’m confident I can slay a Daoist Ancestor with my Celestial Evil Heaven-Breaking Annihilation Dao.’

’I can’t defeat an existence like Feng Cailuo, but trash like the Heaven and Earth Elders? There’s no way my Absolute Kill trump card would fail against them.’

’Besides, I also have the Space-Time Soul-locking Tower and the ’Descent’ technique. At a critical moment, I can use it to perform a mutual Descent and escape.’

’We’ll see who’s afraid of who!’

The Heaven and Earth Elders had lost all face, while on the scene, everyone was awed by Ye Tianling’s domineering presence.

Yes, if it were just a few arrogant words, it would only prove that Ye Tianling was a reckless hothead.

But gradually, everyone had come to see that this conflict had, in fact, been irreconcilable from the very beginning.

Since the conflict was irreconcilable, he might as well take an unconventional approach. He had already made enemies of them, one way or another.
