Chapter 627: Chapter 627: There has never been a rise without bloodshed (first update)
With those words, more than a dozen figures flew across the sky and landed in the courtyard.
Once they had taken their positions, the crowd realized with a start that these were all masters with powerful auras.
Leading them was a middle-aged man with three strands of a goat beard and a grim face.
His cultivation level was indiscernible, yet the chilling light in his gloomy eyes was enough to make people avert their gaze.
“It’s Luo Wenshi!”
“The City Lord himself has come!”
...
The crowd erupted into a buzz of activity.
The one who had arrived was none other than Luo Wenshi, the City Lord of Luofu City.
He glanced down at Geng Jin, who was tongue-lolling, on all fours, and crawling like a pig or dog, his expression growing even darker.
“To shatter the soul and then mold it into the shape of a pig or dog, forcing it to become a human-shaped beast, your methods are truly cruel,” Luo Wenshi said icily.
Xue An looked at Luo Wenshi with a smile that was not quite a smile and said indifferently, “Thank you for the compliment.”
Hearing this, all of Luo Wenshi’s subordinates behind him became furious.
“City Lord, this kid is too arrogant! Not killing him is not enough to quell the rage, and it’s also hard to explain to the ancestors of the Shiva Demon Sect!”
“Exactly, a mere whelp from the Hua Clan, who knows what crooked methods he used, dares to act so insolently. We should kill him!”
These people began to clamor one after another.
At this moment, the situation began to change.
The crowd that had been watching silently until now suddenly and discreetly moved behind Luo Wenshi.
Aside from Xue An, Hua You’an, and a few others, only the Puppet Immortal Sect and the Garan Sect’s master and disciple, Wan Chengyi, stayed put.
The number of people on each side was now starkly disproportionate, with a huge gathering of cultivators from all places behind Luo Wenshi.
Behind Xue An, on the other hand, it was empty and seemed very deserted.
Under such circumstances, many in the crowd began to look at Xue An with hostility.
In their long-held beliefs, the Hua Clan should not have a strong presence, should be subjected to bullying, and should remain at the very bottom of the myriad races, never to rise again.
Yet, the sudden emergence of Xue An made these people feel a profound sense of threat.
Annihilating a Golden Immortal with a punch, crushing souls with a flick of the finger.
This kind of terrifying ability made the sect cultivators deeply wary of him.
If he were allowed to grow and become even more powerful, who knows what the Hua Clan would become.
Better to eradicate him now, while he isn’t that strong yet.
Moreover, it was Luo Wenshi of Luofu City taking personal action, and by following behind and cheering, they could make a good impression on Luo Wenshi with little effort.
Why would they not seize such an opportunity?
Considering that the grand meeting of all races was about to begin, and Mars was about to emerge from within the clouds, establishing a good relationship with the City Lord of Luofu City now could mean access to a lot of useful information.
So, in light of these various factors, almost all the cultivators had gone to the other side.
In between his words, all the cultivators fixed their gaze on Xue An. Such an intense deterrent force was enough to shake the Heart Realm of an ordinary cultivator.
But Xue An, in the face of all this, remained unchanged in expression and said lightly, “Ruthless actions… Provoke public anger?”
Then, suddenly looking up, his eyes blazed with divine light, “When you were slaughtering my people, did you ever think about how ruthless your methods were?”
“When you bullied my people, did you ever think of arousing public anger?”
“Now that I’m merely taking back a fraction of the blood debt you owe the Hua Clan over thousands of years, you jump out to accuse me of ruthless methods?”
At this, Xue An sneered coldly, his face revealing a crazed intent to kill, “All I can say is, why don’t you go die?”
This sentence was like a spark that instantly ignited an already volatile situation.
Shouts of anger rose from all around; many cultivators were eager to try, wanting to teach this man from the Hua Clan, who they saw as ignorant of the harsh realities of the world, a lesson.
Luo Wenshi’s face turned ashen. He waved his hand to signal for quiet, then said in a deep voice, “Young man, don’t be so arrogant. If you admit your guilt and surrender now and hand over the body technique and Divine Sense you’ve cultivated, I might consider protecting your Hua Clan through this Grand Assembly of Clans. What do you say?”
Luo Wenshi’s words were also what many cultivators with ulterior motives were thinking.
In their eyes, since Xue An could eliminate a Golden Immortal with no cultivation level at all, he must have practiced some sort of miraculous body technique.
If they could obtain it, it would be a priceless treasure.
Xue An didn’t get angry but laughed instead, then turned to Liu KekKe, Wan Chengyi, and the others behind him and said, “Do you see? This is what the world calls cultivators! The world regards them as Immortals, but in my eyes, they are no better than pigs and dogs!”
Finally, Luo Wenshi could no longer contain the rage in his heart, “So you mean to oppose us to the end?”
A disdainful smile appeared at the corner of Xue An’s mouth as he extended his hand to point at all the cultivators opposite him.
“Listen up, today, I will teach you how to behave!”
